but stubbornly provoking him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ensuring she would sleep exhausted until dawn, Zhang Jie quietly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bandits must be wiped out—always, no exceptions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only without bandits can there be peace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of his caravan’s slain companions and instructors, Zhang Jie’s eyes flashed with cold fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had petty bandits dared to shit on his head as a reincarnator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he, a reincarnator, have no dignity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid disgracing the countless reincarnator predecessors who punched immortal emperors and kicked demonic gods,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and to avoid being mocked by other Zhang Jies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie decided that very night he would send those insolent bandits to their doom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie removed his hands from the two Mount Qomolangmas, then slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took from a hidden compartment in his wardrobe the black nightwear he’d worn when killing Ximen Daguan and his personal servant Dai’an,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and picked up the longsword his late father, Zhang Dahu, had specially commissioned a master craftsman in town to forge for him in his youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, today I will use this to kill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he caressed the sword in his hand, a trace of nostalgia rose on Zhang Jie’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having done this once before, Zhang Jie casually opened the window and leapt out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dark night, high wind—perfect night for killing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie gazed at the pitch-black night, where the moon was entirely obscured by thick clouds,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pitch-black night, he couldn't help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a perfect night—must kill a few enemies to set the mood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light tap of his toes, he shot forward over ten meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, his black nightwear merged with the night,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>like a night demon patrolling the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Zhang Jie reached the edge of Yanggu County’s city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall, four to five meters high and several meters wide, brick-clad with packed earth inside, was guarded by over a dozen soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These soldiers wore leather armor, leather caps, and held long spears, appearing quite formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Jie, familiar with the Great Coward, knew they were nothing but ornamental showpieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Emperor Zhenzong of Song signed the Treaty of Chanyuan with Liao, declaring brotherhood,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>aside from occasional clashes with Western Xia, the Great Song had enjoyed peace for nearly a century.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With prolonged peace, even the border troops guarding Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures against Liao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the imperial guards stationed around Bianliang to protect the emperor and ministers, had seen their combat effectiveness plummet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>let alone the city guards of Yanggu, a mere small county.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These soldiers couldn’t even fight Liao or Western Xia troops,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>let alone carry out basic bandit suppression or protect their people—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they could barely put on a show to prove they existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they were very skilled at extorting, demanding bribes, setting up checkpoints, and collecting tolls…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And mentioning Emperor Zhenzong of Song and the Treaty of Chanyuan requires addressing the ruined Mount Tai sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After signing the Treaty of Chanyuan—where the Great Coward was clearly the younger brother—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Zhenzong sought to demonstrate imperial authority and consolidate his rule\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>by staging a sacrifice, while also diverting public backlash from the treaty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, since Emperor Taizu founded the dynasty, despite events like Emperor Taizong’s northern campaign\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the donkey-car drift, the Great Song had still stood as an equal to Liao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had it come to this under Emperor Zhenzong—that we became Liao’s younger brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this end, he fraudulently fabricated auspicious omens, under the planning of Chancellor Wang Qinnuo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>claimed heavenly scriptures had descended from heaven, held a ceremony to receive them, changed the era name to “Da Zhong Xiangfu,” and built momentum for the sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In October 1008, he departed from Bianjing, rode a mountain palanquin up Mount Tai, and performed the sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the sacrifice, he renamed Qianfeng County as Fengfu County, bestowed upon the Mountain God the title “Ren Sheng Tian Qi Wang,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and carved inscriptions on stone tablets recording the sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even funnier was that posterity regarded his sacrifice as a farce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he lacked the merit and auspicious signs required for a sacrifice, relying solely on forged heavenly scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sacrifice directly degraded the sacredness of the ritual; thereafter, no emperor ever held another sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang all expressed shame at being associated with Emperor Zhenzong of Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mount Tai emitted a roar like Xiang Yu, Lu Bu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or the masked knight He Rundong’s avatar, the unweeping god of death Bu Jingyun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t come near me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Emperor Zhenzong’s sacrifice, Mount Tai, like the Luo River, had been relegated to the children’s table for meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Sima Yi broke his oath on the Luo River, it lost all credibility,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its reputation now utterly foul: Sima Yi, I thank your entire family!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiu, the last Han emperor who had previously sworn the Luo River oath and treated nearly all his ministers well, also had something to say~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie shook his head lightly, banishing his contempt for the Song emperors from his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was not the time to dwell on this—eradicating bandits was urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie arrived at a corner of the wall where only two soldiers were on duty, stared intently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>channeled his internal Qi along the path of the Cloud-Scaling Technique, then pushed off with his feet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>effortlessly leaping over the four-meter wall and appearing outside Yanggu County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jie: Thanks to the Elder of Yitian for the Wudang Nine Yang Qi and Cloud-Scaling Technique~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Zhang Cuishan, while carving characters on a cliffside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under pressure from Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King, used Wudang’s supreme lightness skill, “Cloud-Scaling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed his feet, leapt over ten feet, then used the cliff wall to push off again, soaring another twenty feet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and with his writing brush carved into the stone: “Supreme in the Martial World, the Dragon-Slaying Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Command the world, none dare defy. If the Heaven-Defying Sword does not emerge, who can challenge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Zhang Jie’s internal Qi was not as deep as Zhang Cuishan’s, his superior physical conditioning supported him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and leaping ten feet was effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Renjia, was that a dark shadow flying over the wall just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the wall, Xiao Bingyi, unable to sleep and killing time by watching and listening,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>nudged his drowsy comrade Lu Renjia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What shadow? You must’ve imagined it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half-asleep and about to meet Zhou Gong for a game of chess, Lu Renjia replied lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible—I couldn’t possibly be wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bingyi patted his chest, swearing his vision was as sharp as Japanese soldiers who’d eaten fish oil during the Second Global Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably just a black cat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still half-asleep, Lu Renjia replied with zero sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A black cat? Where’s a black cat the size of several feet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bingyi was speechless—even the cat in “Cat Switches the Emperor” wasn’t this big!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who cares what it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Renjia didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world was vast, but after eating, only sleep mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Heavenly King himself couldn’t stop him from sleeping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Bingyi leaned close to Lu Renjia’s ear, whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think that shadow is the wanted criminal the county office is hunting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? That criminal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Lu Renjia’s drowsiness vanished; his eyes sharpened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and he gripped his long spear tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing that criminal with unmatched bare-handed strength, only his two-meter spear offered him any comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing that ferocious man whose bare-handed combat prowess was unmatched, only the two-meter-long spear in his hand brought him a sliver of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bingyi clamped his hand over Lu Renjia’s mouth to prevent him from screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bingyi clamped his hand over Lu Renjia’s mouth to prevent him from crying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh～”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Renjia took several deep breaths before suppressing the fear in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you trying to die? Can we brothers even afford to provoke such a monster?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lu Renjia thought of the gruesome death of Master Ximen, his legs trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nearly ran away—just not wetting his pants already showed he had good composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his third cousin’s distant uncle on his second aunt’s side, who worked at the county yamen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Ximen and his personal servant had been beaten to death with fists by that monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t I tell anyone but you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bingyi admitted he was also terrified of that monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Renjia looked around and, seeing no one else, whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You and I, brothers, we’ll keep this just between us, like this, like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let this news rot in our bellies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Bingyi nodded vigorously in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a monster was far beyond what they brothers could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if they reported it, what would they gain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At best, a pitiful reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You say the Ximen family offered a generous reward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That reward, from top to bottom—the county magistrate might not take a cut,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but what about the county commandant, our squad leader, or his deputy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for carrying out their duty as city guards and capturing the criminal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Renjia and Xiao Bingyi shrugged: “A few hundred cash a month—what’s your life worth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promotion and wealth belong to the superiors—your life is yours alone!\u003C\u002Fp>",1542,"2026-06-20T14:22:35.989Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9a2e9650f18fa81d41b7816c51f367d627af87831f5969076f42981345f6a1c8","simultaneously-transmigrated-my-cheat-skill-is-m-chapter-14","simultaneously-transmigrated-my-cheat-skill-is-m-chapter-12",601,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-my-cheat-skill-is-m-cover.jpg"]
