Chapter 1326

"Today, you shall die!"

Having finished speaking, he threw a punch.

Vast energy radiated from his palm.

In an instant, it landed atop the head of a fleeing commoner.

"Boom!"

The other party didn't even have time to let out a scream.

Their entire body exploded and perished.

And at the same time.

The black-armored cavalry charged forward to meet them.

Their speed was astonishingly fast.

"Seeking death!"

The Second Elder of the Ximen family let out a furious roar.

Then, with a clench of his palm, a massive battle-axe was taken into his hand.

Blazing cold light burst forth.

He brought it straight down in a cleave.

In an instant, a skyful of blood mist flew into the air.

And at the same time.

On the other side, within the imperial city of the Great Han.

A glint of sharp light flashed in Ximen Wudi's eyes.

He had not expected.

That the Second Elder of the Ximen family would come in person.

However, since the other party had delivered themselves to his door.

Ximen Wudi naturally did not mind taking care of them.

"Cao Zhengchun, pass the order to Tong Xiangyu, command him to assemble the army.

In half a month, attack the Lingxiao Sacred Court.

At the same time, have Lu Bu lead the Imperial Guard to follow!"

Ximen Wudi's voice was exceedingly deep and low.

And upon hearing the order, Cao Zhengchun did not dare to delay, and hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After his respectful voice rang out.

He retreated downward.

And just as he had just stepped out of the Imperial Garden.

Ximen Wudi spoke again.

"Tell Li Jing to prepare everything and depart with me!"

"As you command!"

Then, Li Jing also withdrew.

As for Cao Zhengchun, he did not stop.

After hurrying out of the Imperial Garden.

He arrived at Li Jing's residence.

At this time, the other party was still writing something at the desk.

Upon seeing Cao Zhengchun arrive.

He hurriedly spoke.

"What is it?"

Li Jing's voice was deep and low, appearing very solemn at this moment.

Because he knew that, unless something special had occurred.

Cao Zhengchun would absolutely not come to disturb him.

"His Majesty commands you to lead the great army to garrison the Southern Border, preventing the Lingxiao Sacred Court from causing trouble.

At the same time, assist the Great Han in attacking and subduing the small forces around it!"

Summon the generals under his command.

After the words fell, sweat broke out on Cao Zhengchun's forehead.

Because Ximen Wudi knew well in his heart that, if Li Jing truly led the great army away.

The Great Han's defense would become exceedingly weak.

But, he did not dare to resist.

He could only nod in assent, not daring to say more.

And just as Cao Zhengchun had just stepped out of Li Jing's residence.

The other party summoned the generals under his command.

A moment later, everyone was standing before him.

At this time, Li Jing seemed to have become an entirely different person.

His eyes gleamed with brilliant light.

"Generals, His Majesty the Han Emperor commands us to march with the army on campaign.

This war cannot afford any mishap.

Therefore, I intend to personally take command, overseeing the deployment of the great army.

Who is willing to serve as commander-in-chief and fight for me!"

Li Jing's voice rang out, causing everyone to involuntarily freeze.

Then, Sikong Yuchi Gong said with a smile.

"What are you saying, my lord — how could such a momentous matter be handed to an outsider!

This general is willing!"

Sikong Yuchi Gong's character is bold and forthright.

At this moment, he spoke up without the slightest hesitation.

Then, the other generals also volunteered one after another, all wanting to serve as commander-in-chief of the great army.

Upon seeing such a scene.

Li Jing could not help but rejoice — what he had feared most was Sikong Yuchi Gong declining.

And just as everyone had finished their deliberations.

A rumble of thunder sounded at that very moment.

Immediately after, they saw the great army begin to gallop forth within a city.

It was none other than Ximen Qing, who had summoned every disciple of his clan.

A savage look appeared on his face.

Although he did not understand why Ximen Qing would act this way, since the other party had made a demand.

He did not dare disobey, and could only comply.

And at this moment, Ximen Wudi atop the city wall curled his lips into a faint, cold smile.

Then, he said lightly.

"Pass the order to Lu Bu — attack, and wipe out the Ximen clan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing the order, Cao Zhengchun did not dare delay, and hurriedly withdrew.

And just after he had left.

Ximen Wudi headed toward the rear courtyard.

At this moment, he intended to go check on the two princesses.

The moment he stepped into the room.
