Chapter 559

"This general pays respects to Your Majesty!"

When they saw it was Liu Bian, they hurriedly clasped their hands and bowed respectfully to him.

"Everyone, rise!"

After Liu Bian told them to rise, he went to the main seat and sat down.

At this time, Lü Bu and the others were also extremely excited to see Liu Bian.

They had not expected that Liu Bian would actually come in person this time.

With Liu Bian presiding, they would be even more confident in taking this world.

"I have already heard what you were saying in the tent just now."

"As for these Jianghu forces, as long as they don't cause trouble, leave them be for a while. Our main task is still to conquer the countries of this world."

"Although we have already conquered the Dali Kingdom, Dali is, after all, too small and cannot increase the Great Han's national fortune by much."

"Therefore, we must conquer the Song Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom as soon as possible."

"After conquering these two countries, the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon will be able to grow significantly."

"At that time, our Great Han will be one step closer to becoming a high-grade imperial dynasty."

Hearing Liu Bian's words, they were all extremely excited and immediately bowed to Liu Bian:

"This general obeys your command!"

Subsequently, they began to command the great army to launch an attack on the Song Kingdom.

As for Liu Bian, he took Dian Wei and the others on a leisurely journey toward Shaolin.

On this trip to Shaolin, he would also meet the legendary Sweeping Monk.

As the biggest boss of the Tianlong world, this person's strength was indeed very powerful.

Along the way, Liu Bian led Dian Wei, the others, and a hundred guards toward Shaolin Temple.

Meanwhile, Lü Bu and the others launched their attack on the Song Kingdom.

At this time, in the Song Kingdom's imperial court.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Dali Kingdom has been destroyed by the newly emerged Han Kingdom. Now, this Han Kingdom's five-hundred-thousand-strong army has reached the borders of our Great Song."

"Their goal is already obvious; they must be plotting against our Great Song. I request Your Majesty to make plans early."

At this time, inside the Song imperial palace, Prime Minister Sima Guang was speaking with a solemn expression to the young emperor, who was in his early twenties and wearing a yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon throne.

This young emperor was the current emperor of the Song Kingdom, Emperor Zhezong of Song, Zhao Xu.

This person could be considered one of the few capable emperors of the Song Kingdom.

It was a pity that such an emperor only lived to be twenty-four or twenty-five in the original history before passing away prematurely.

And the Northern Song, after the death of Emperor Zhezong, Zhao Xu, lingered on for more than twenty years before it was destroyed.

At this time, after hearing Sima Guang's words, Zhao Xu's expression also became grave.

"My ministers, do any of you have any understanding of this Han Kingdom?"

Hearing this, everyone shook their heads.

They knew very little about this Han Kingdom; after all, the Han Kingdom had appeared too suddenly.

Moreover, the rise of the Han Kingdom had been a bit too fast.

How much time had passed, and the Dali Kingdom had already been destroyed by the Han Kingdom.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu's face was cold as frost, and he let out a cold snort at the officials.

"Your Majesty, please forgive us! We are incompetent!"

Seeing Zhao Xu's anger, the officials immediately knelt on the ground, shouting in terror.

"What do I keep you all for!"

"The enemy's five-hundred-thousand-strong army has already attacked, and you don't even know the enemy's background!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive us! We are terrified!"

Hearing Zhao Xu's angry rebuke, the officials once again kowtowed in terror.

At this time, Zhao Xu had just taken over the power of personal rule from the Empress Dowager Gao.

Before he could even be happy, he heard that the Han Kingdom had invaded; one could imagine how furious he was at this moment.

"Hmph!"

After snorting coldly again, Zhao Xu said to the hundred officials:

"Pass on my decree: appoint Zhong Shidao as the Grand General for Pacifying the Han, and mobilize five hundred thousand troops to meet the Han army."

At this time, a middle-aged general in the row of military officials responded respectfully and loudly:

"This general, Zhong Shidao, obeys your decree!"

At this time, Liu Bian's party, after two days of travel, had also arrived at the territory of Xingyuan Prefecture.

"I say, Second Brother, you really need to change that habit of yours of always stealing other people's children."

At this moment, ahead of the group, four people were watching Liu Bian's party from afar.

These four people, three men and one woman, were led by a middle-aged man who was ugly in appearance and disabled in both legs.

And at this moment, he was speaking to the only woman with a look of helplessness.

In the woman's arms, she was currently holding an infant.

"Your Majesty, there are four people in the distance watching us, and looking at them, they are clearly not good people."

Dian Wei discovered the four people and whispered to Liu Bian.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to run into these four here."

As early as when the four appeared, Liu Bian and the others had already discovered them.

These four were none other than the "Four Great Evils" who were notorious for their crimes: Duan Laoda, Ye Erniang, Yue Laosan, and Yun Laosi.

Among these four, Duan Laoda was at the ninth heaven of the Postnatal Realm, Ye Erniang was at the eighth heaven of the Postnatal Realm, and Yue Laosan and Yun Laosi were both at the seventh heaven of the Postnatal Realm.

"These four have quite a few innocent lives on their hands; each one of them can be called notorious for their crimes."

"Since I have encountered such people, it's your bad luck."

"Moreover, the one in Ye Erniang's arms is likely another stolen infant."

In an instant, in Liu Bian's heart, these four were labeled for execution.

"E'lai, these four should be the notorious Four Great Evils."

"And the one that Ye Erniang is holding is likely a child stolen from someone else; such people deserve to die."

"Since we have encountered these four, let's rid the world of these four pests for the sake of the common people."

"After all, these commoners will all become subjects of our Great Han before long."

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Dian Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his hands to Liu Bian:

"This general obeys your command!"

Although they were only four Postnatal Realm warriors, Dian Wei did not mind.

As the commander of the Huben Army, he had always focused on protecting Liu Bian's safety.

For so long, he had basically had no opportunity to take action.

He had not expected that this time, accompanying His Majesty out, he would actually have a chance to fight.

"Whoosh!"

Hearing a sound of breaking through the air, Dian Wei's figure instantly rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived behind the Four Great Evils.

"Not good!"

The Four Great Evils, the moment they saw Dian Wei rush out, began to retreat violently.

However, with their speed, how could they be faster than Dian Wei, who was at the sixth heaven of the Innate Realm?

The four had only retreated more than ten meters when they were intercepted by Dian Wei.

"This general, we four have never offended you, why make things difficult for us?"

At this time, Duan Laoda was speaking to Dian Wei with a solemn expression, using ventriloquism.

As for the other three, the looks they gave Dian Wei were also full of caution.

The aura radiating from Dian Wei was far beyond what they could contend with.

That aura was at least at the third heaven of the Innate Realm or higher; such an expert was far from what they could handle.
