Guan Jing appeared above Chen Li, and then struck down with his sword.
Chen Li also drew out the long knife from his waist and blocked Guan Jing.
However, Chen Li was no match for Guan Jing. His long sword broke instantly after just one sword fight.
When Chen Li saw this, he quickly got off his horse and rolled on the ground, and then barely managed to take away Guan Jing's first blow.
Guan Jing's second sword strike followed, and Chen Li panicked for a moment. He quickly pulled an unlucky guy from the horse and blocked him in front of him, while he quickly swept back.
After Guan Jing beheaded the unlucky man to death, his expression became even more angry, and he roared: "Is this what I taught you back then, to let your subordinates stand in front of you? Chen Li, today I will personally execute you, a traitor!" "
Facing the crazy Guan Jing, Chen Li had lost from the beginning.
Now, he was really in a state of embarrassment, running away like crazy.
Guan Jing struck out one after another with murderous intent. In just a moment, Chen Li's back was cut with several slashes.
Chen Li stumbled and fell to the ground. He looked at Guan Jing in front of him and begged for mercy: "General Guan, let me go this time... I will withdraw from the Ten Thousand Demons Association."
Guan Jing's knife stopped an inch in front of Chen Li's nose. He asked coldly: "Why are you bringing people to stop me from returning to Kyoto?"
Chen Li opened his mouth but said nothing.
He also knew that if Zhu Qing was shaken out, he would basically be dead.
But facing Guan Jing, Chen Li still had some luck in his heart.
He was one of the first soldiers under Guan Jing's sect, and he traveled with Guan Jing for many years. As soon as Guan Jing took the position of general, he directly promoted Chen Li and handed him the military talisman of Kyoto. It can be seen that Guan Jing Jing's trust in him.
Chen Li hesitated and said: "Yes...it is the instruction of the Ten Thousand Demons Association."
He deliberately concealed Zhu Qing, only saying that it was a matter of the Ten Thousand Demons Association. After all, the Ten Thousand Demons Association was so huge that it would be okay to blame it on them.
However, although Chen Li thought very well, he forgot an extremely important point.
It is true that he was brought out by Guan Jing. He has followed Guan Jing in the north and south for so many years. He understands Guan Jing just as Guan Jing understands him.
Guan Jing would obviously not believe such a clumsy lie.
Guan Jing looked at Chen Li and sighed helplessly: "Chen Li, I originally thought that you were my lieutenant and I could spare your life, but I didn't expect that in the end, you were still lying."
Chen Li's pupils suddenly sank, wanting to quibble about something.
However, a flash of sword flashed across, and Chen Li covered his neck, his eyes instantly lost their luster, and he fell to the ground.
In the distance, the border army had completely suppressed the Kyoto army.
Although the difference in numbers is more than double, Kyoto has been relatively peaceful over the years, which is completely opposite to the situation on the border. These soldiers are occasionally lazy, and it is this laziness that harms themselves.
When entering the martial arts, if you are slack for one day, you will become inert, and you will become even more slack in the future. Day after day, you will be like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Xu Yuan rode straight to Guan Jing's side and reported: "General Guan, we have captured all the people. What should we do next? Are we going to execute them on the spot?"
Guan Jing looked at the Kyoto troops with some helplessness.
They were all soldiers he brought out, and the palms and backs of their hands were all flesh. It would be unbearable to execute them directly.
The Kyoto army was also begging for mercy at this time, hoping that Guan Jing would spare their lives. After all, they were soldiers. How could they dare to say no to the general's instructions on what to do.
"If you do something wrong, you always have to pay the price..."
Guan Jing ordered Xu Yuanzhi: "After their cultivation is abolished, whether they live or die depends entirely on themselves."
Xu Yuanzhi nodded and went to do it.
When some people in the Kyoto army heard Guan Jing's words, they either looked desperate, or even suddenly started to curse, calling Guan Jing ungrateful. They risked their lives to accompany Guan Jing in the battle, but in the end they ended up like this. .
Guan Jing looked at the Kyoto soldier who was yelling, grabbed his long knife, and stabbed him in the stomach.
Seeing the fall of the Kyoto army, Guan Jing said calmly: "My soldiers, Guan Jing, will never betray the imperial court!"
On the battlefield, the border troops have already taken action.
There was a sound of wailing.
After dealing with these Kyoto troops, Guan Jing glanced at the sky and couldn't help but frown.
Originally they should have rushed to Kyoto at dawn, but now it was noon and they were delayed by these Kyoto troops for a long time.
He simply abandoned his horse and told Xu Yuanzhi: "I will go to Kyoto first, and you must arrive within half an hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Jing tiptoed and turned into a stream of light, flying towards Kyoto.
…
…
Kyoto.
During the early morning dynasty, many officials disappeared.
This made the ministers who went to court begin to wonder. In the past, it was okay for two or three people to be absent from time to time, but now half of the officials who were supposed to go to court were not present, which was really suspicious.
Soon, those officials immediately thought of a possibility.
During these days, the Ten Thousand Demons Club was causing a stir in Kyoto.
There was a lot of discussion in the court. They really didn't expect that a Ten Thousand Demons Association would involve so many officials.
Seeing that he was sober, Zheng Dehai, the general manager of the palace, glanced at Sun Gusheng. After receiving Sun Gusheng's look, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Quiet! How is it appropriate to act like this in the court?"
The courtiers below all shut up.
Sun Gusheng stood up slowly, took a roll of names from Zheng Dehai, hung up his hands with one hand, and said: "I know what you are thinking, the fact is that as you think, there is collusion with Ten Thousand Monsters Everyone is on this list."
There were courtiers in the audience looking at the list, which was densely packed.
At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
All the courtiers looked back and frowned.
Who are these people?
These people were all dressed in different styles. Some were dressed luxuriously, like those from wealthy families, some were ordinary, just like ordinary people, and some were even dressed so simply that they were no different from beggars.
And these people walked straight into the court hall, came step by step in front of Sun Gusheng, and all knelt down and said: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Sun Gusheng nodded, looked at these people, and said with a smile: "You are all the people I, Sun Gusheng, trust the most. Whether Kyoto can be as peaceful as before, I still need to rely on you."
The courtiers were all confused.
A courtier stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with this? How can you entrust such an important matter to these people?"
Before Sun Gusheng could speak, one of the luxuriously dressed people walked up to the courtier and said, "What? Does it mean that peace in Kyoto still depends on a waste like you who takes money and does nothing?"
The courtier choked on his words for a moment, probably not expecting that this man dared to talk to him like this.
He is a dignified official of the third rank. Who can't call him "Sir" and pat himself on the back when he sees him?
The courtier pointed at the man in luxurious clothes and said, "Do you know who you are talking to?"
However, the next second.
Only a click was heard, and the courtier began to wail happily.
The man in luxurious clothes had an indifferent expression on his face, "No matter who you are, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't join the Ten Thousand Demons Association, your arm wouldn't have been broken."
At this time, Sun Gusheng calmed down and said: "My dear friends, don't panic. These people are all my confidants in Kyoto. I have kept this secret from all my dear friends for so long. I will apologize to you all here."
Although Sun Gusheng said so, the ministers in the court still showed vigilance towards these people who would break other people's arms at the slightest disagreement.
But those people looked indifferent.
They never care about your official status, as long as you offend me, you will be killed.
In short, they are not the same people.
The man in luxurious clothes just now rubbed his neck, looked lazy, and said carelessly: "Your Highness, we really can't get used to being in this court. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."
Sun Gusheng nodded and said: "Then the border of Kyoto depends on you."
The man in luxurious clothes waved his hand and said: "Leave it to us, Your Highness, just keep it in your heart."
This group of people came and went in a hurry, and soon left the palace.
Arriving outside the palace, the man in luxurious clothes took out a map, pointed at the map and said: "Your Highness asked us to guard the border. You can choose a place of your choice."
One of the people in slovenly clothes said in confusion: "Yu Xuan, I'm really confused. With our level, we can probably save the people around us even if we don't care about this matter, so why do we have to interfere in it? "
Yu Xuan glanced at the man and said with a smile: "We can indeed protect ourselves and the people around us, but this world may become extremely unstable. Aren't you tired of keeping your head in your belt for so long? "
The man choked on his words and did not speak.
To be honest, no one wants to live with their head in their belt all the time. If you are young, it doesn't matter. After all, you are alone. If you die, you will die. You will still be a good man after eighteen years.
But after all, days pass by day by day, and people grow up day by day. After finally surviving the disputes in the world, if I have to go back to my youth, I really can't guarantee that I can survive 100%. Come down.
The longer people live, the less courageous they become. This is not an empty statement.
Yu Xuan put away the map and ordered: "His Highness trusts us so much, and we should repay his trust. Of course, if you feel that your lives are threatened, you can run away, and you will never be settled by the Queen."
With Yu Xuan's guarantee, these people felt a little more at ease.
However, Yu Xuan's words gave them a shot in the arm.
These people turned into a stream of light and scattered away.
When Yu Xuan rushed to the border, he frowned unconsciously.
It looked like a battle had taken place here, and judging from the corpses on the ground, it probably started last night.
Today, the place is desolate.
Yu Xuan murmured to himself: "Is it too late?"
Some people died, but not completely...
