Zhao Cheng looked at the scene in front of him and laughed miserably. He felt desolate. He thought about how powerful he was when he first raised the army. He controlled a hundred thousand elite soldiers and could control the change of the throne. How powerful he was!
Nowadays, everyone has betrayed their relatives and ended up like this. The interval between them is only a few days. The fate of life is really unpredictable.
He was still thinking before that if he had not taken that step and instead led the imperial army to surrender to the court, maybe the result would have been a hundred times better than now.
At this point, he had nothing to say. Zhao Cheng's eyes swept across the body of the secret guard, and paused for a moment on the body of the fighting soldier. He immediately stretched out a heavy fist and hit his own heavenly spirit hard, with the bones shattered. With a loud sound, his eyes quickly turned gray, and he slowly fell to the ground, making no sound.
"General!"
When the soldiers who were fighting saw this scene from the corner of their eyes, their eyes were split and their hearts were filled with despair! As personal soldiers, they and their general were both prosperous and devastated. Now that the general is dead, what's the point of them staying in this world!
Immediately, they committed suicide collectively!
The whole process was neat and tidy, without any fuss.
From beginning to end, the secret guards just watched quietly and did not interfere. After all, their only goal was Zhao Cheng.
On the top of Tianshu Pavilion, Su Ming looked at the whimpering grass above the Forbidden Army camp. He shook his head slightly and waved his hand. The remaining luck was absorbed into his sea of consciousness. Although there was not much of this luck, it could still Add some luck value. And since he returned to the imperial capital, it has been a long time since he gained luck points.
"Amitabha!"
Immediately, he took a step forward and came to the Forbidden Army camp. All around were the Forbidden Army who were red-eyed with murder. Facing the former robes, they waved their butcher knives without hesitation. If you don't kill others, others will. Coming to kill you is totally irrational.
Of course, some soldiers fled the battlefield directly, but they were a minority after all.
Blood soaked the earth, and corpses were everywhere. The intertwining of blood and fire would become the nightmare of countless people, but Su Ming came.
The Imperial Guards are all elites, and it would be a pity if they were really all killed or injured.
"I, Ah, Ruo, Ba, Jia, Na, Emperor!" A mysterious and Zen-like Sanskrit sound was recited from Su Ming's mouth, spreading quickly like ripples. The Manjusri Wisdom Mantra cleanses the soul and bless wisdom.
As the Wisdom Mantra was recited, the soldiers in the entire military camp seemed to have been cast a restraining spell. All the murderous intentions and ferocity in their minds disappeared, and only the Manjusri Wisdom Mantra continued to echo.
What Su Ming did was not to convert them. After all, these people were soldiers and elites. They were no better than those Yuan Shen monks. Once they were converted, they would be infiltrated by Buddhism, and then the murderous aura in their bodies would probably be destroyed. The Buddha's teachings are gone, and by that time, this forbidden army will be completely destroyed.
Moreover, there is too much movement in converting these people. The capital city is the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Every move will attract the attention of the people in the world. Su Ming cannot guarantee that his conversion today will not be discovered. The selfless Sanskrit is His biggest trump card, such as Laijian Jue, is easy to use, but if someone detects it and targets it, it may not be so useful at that time.
Therefore, what Su Ming is doing is to erase this memory of theirs and tamper with it. The rest will require the secret guards to clean up the mess.
With the sound of wisdom spells, all the Imperial Guards who were fighting immediately woke up and then fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Tonight, they will have a good sleep.
Then, with a thought in Su Ming's mind, thousands of Brahma lights scattered like raindrops, falling on every surviving soldier. As long as they had a breath left, their injuries recovered in the blink of an eye, whether they were missing arms or legs, or had a punctured intestines. They were all in good condition, and it was completely impossible to tell that they had just experienced a battle of blood and fire. Only the torn and blood-stained clothes were still telling something.
After doing this, Su Ming nodded and told the secret guards standing by, "Take care of this place and don't leave any traces. For the surviving soldiers, find a place to settle them."
After saying that, he put Zhao Cheng's body into the storage ring, turned around and disappeared.
······
Tens of thousands of people were fighting together, and the sound had already reached the capital. The soldiers guarding the city were in full formation, fearing that the enemy would attack the city again. Only the generals guarding the city stood on the top of the city, looking in the direction of the Forbidden Army camp, with a look of eagerness on their faces. color.
He knew that the Imperial Master had sent people from the Xuanjing Division to attack the camp tonight, but they only had a thousand people, but they had to face enemies dozens of times their size. If they failed, there would be another tragedy tomorrow. How could he not worry about the siege?
"Let your soldiers have a good rest. It's all over!" Suddenly, a warm voice came from his ears. He was so frightened that he trembled all over. When he turned around, he saw a white figure floating away and disappearing. not see.
At this moment, in the night sky, the dark clouds finally dissipated, and the stars in the sky bloomed again. A crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on him.
All of this is so beautiful.
"Go down with the order and leave a team of people to guard the city. The rest should go down and rest. This war is over!" The general who defended the city was very convinced by Su Ming's words.
Because if it weren't for Su Ming, the imperial capital would have been breached and he would have been killed a long time ago. How could he still be standing here giving orders? Therefore, he did not doubt Su Ming's words at all.
On the other side, in the Forbidden Army camp, the secret guards began to get busy. They took in the remaining soldiers and took them away in carriages. After all, at this time, it was easy to distinguish the dead from the living. If they were ordinary soldiers, they would I'm afraid it will take several days to clean up this military camp.
But they are secret guards of the Xuanjing Division. They are both monks and soldiers. Cleaning the battlefield requires no effort at all for them.
In just one night, they moved the remaining imperial troops to other places. The soldiers who died in the bombing camp were also carried to mass graves dozens of miles away and burned and buried.
The reason why they were not buried was because there were many kinds of wild beasts on the mass graves, and most of them fed on carrion. Maybe these wild beasts would eat the corpses of these soldiers when they walked on their front legs and their back legs.
Moreover, the evil spirit on these soldiers is extremely ferocious. A mass grave of tens of thousands of people will definitely gather a large amount of death, evil and corpse energy. By then, this land will be ruined. If it is discovered by evil monks, it will inevitably driven. As members of the military, they couldn't bear these people to end up like this, so cremation was the best outcome.

In the east, a big sun rises slowly, blooming with thousands of golden lights. The glazed tiles of the imperial city reflect the bright light. The entire imperial city is bathed in the sun, sacred and solemn.
At this moment, the imperial city has swept away the previous decline and decline, and seems to have ushered in a new life. With the confirmation of the next emperor, this imperial city has ushered in a new owner. In the dark, there seems to be an ancient will. It is recovering, making the imperial city more powerful day by day.
The secrets inherited by Dazhou for more than 500 years were revealed inadvertently, which made the officials secretly frightened.
In fact, they had already discovered the changes in the imperial city. After all, they could stand out among the billions of people in the world and become officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They were all elites among the elites, and they could not be more sensitive to the abnormal changes in the current situation.
What's more, most of them are civil servants who have practiced Confucianism and Taoism. They can see the leopard from the inside and know everything about everything. This is also the biggest reliance for them to survive in this current situation.
Over the capital, in an unknown space that is invisible to the naked eye, a ten thousand feet long dragon of luck is wandering in the sea of auspicious clouds. The scales on its body are emitting light and there are various runes on it, which is mysterious and unusual.
As Su Ming quelled the rebellion of the Forbidden Army outside the capital, this destiny dragon has regained its vitality. Emperor Shenwu is dead, and the hidden dangers he left behind no longer exist. Without the erosion of the resentment of the people, destiny Shenlong is also in excellent condition, but it is very difficult to return to his peak state.
Now that the southern borderland has been invaded by the demon tribe from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Dragon Tribe on the shores of the East China Sea has returned to the inland water system and occupied the shores of the East China Sea. In the process, the local people have suffered countless casualties. More importantly, the Great Zhou has These territories have lost dominance. The land in the northwest has been in decay for a long time, and the Tatars in the northern grasslands are eyeing it, ready to invade southward at any time.
In the land of Kyushu, demons are causing chaos, and humans and ghosts live together. Fortunately, no major natural disasters have occurred. Although the lives of the people are much more difficult than before, they can still survive. More importantly, rebellions continue in various places, and countless evil grass The pythons separated themselves from each other and rebelled against the imperial court.
Of course, no matter how bad the situation is, it is still much better than when Emperor Shenwu came to the throne. After all, the foundation laid by the Great Zhou Dynasty when he conquered the world was so solid. Even if things got worse later and were no longer at their peak, it would still be difficult to overthrow this huge empire. It cannot be done in a day or two.
The most important thing is that although the Immortal Cultivation Sect supports some forces and wants to compete for the world, they are monks after all and cannot interfere too deeply. The support they can give is limited. After all, even the three major sects do not dare to face the human world. The backlash can only be done indirectly.
Although wars are raging everywhere, the power of the Zhou Dynasty cannot be shaken for a while. After all, there are still millions of soldiers on display at the borders of the Zhou Dynasty, and there are also many troops stationed in the prefectures and counties. If the imperial court can integrate resources , everyone works together, these rebellions will be extinguished sooner or later.
However, this is basically impossible to do, because the gentry class, driven by the Immortal Cultivation Family, has become alienated from Da Zhou. It is good that they did not directly turn around to help the rebels deal with Da Zhou. Seventy percent of the world's officials are from the gentry class. Among them, those who are loyal to the court are already good at achieving two things.

Therefore, the situation will gradually come to a stalemate in the future, but we don’t know how long this troubled times will last.

The side hall of Tai Chi Hall.
The ministers gathered here and were arranged in the main hall. Empress Chen sat on a soft couch, separated from the ministers by a screen. Today she met as usual to deal with memorials sent from various places and discuss important matters.
At the same time, they are here to ensure their own safety. If the rebels invade the capital, there is no safer place than the imperial city. Moreover, they are all officials, and the rebels will not kill at will. It would be tragic if you really stayed in the house and were visited by those rebels. After all, the rebels who are looking for red eyes don't care who you are.
This is just the petty thinking of some of them. Most officials are still very confident in guarding the capital. In addition, troops from all over Zhongzhou have arrived one after another. Those forbidden troops will be destroyed sooner or later.
Of course, what happened last night had not spread to the capital so quickly. Even if some well-informed people got the news in advance, they would not believe it. After all, this is too ridiculous and the power gap is too huge. How could this be possible?
However, after the court meeting had been going on for a period of time, a small yellow doorman came out of the inner hall and told the news to the chief steward Cao Yuchen. He then passed the news to Queen Chen.
"The Imperial Preceptor wants to see you?" After hearing the news, Queen Chen was slightly startled and a little confused. Now that the Imperial Preceptor is not guarding the city wall, why did she come to the court?
Although she was confused, Su Ming was no better now than before. The previous battle to defend the city was not broken by the rebels because of his presence. Therefore, Queen Chen did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered Cao Yuchen to announce his entrance.
"Master Xuan Guo Pudu Cihang comes to see you!"
The loud voice echoed in the hall, and immediately, the servants outside the palace spread the word all the way to the square.
Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Su Ming slowly stepped into the main hall. This was his first time going to court. When Emperor Shenwu was in power, Su Ming lived in seclusion and often met with the old emperor in the Hall of Cultivation of Heart.
The first time he appeared in front of the ministers was at the Qianqiu Banquet. At that time, Emperor Shenwu was assassinated, and he also rescued the prince Li Xian, which left a deep impression on the ministers.
As he stepped into the hall, the ministers all looked sideways and looked at him, their eyes showing surprise from time to time. Without him, Su Ming was really amazing.
At this moment, he was wearing moon-white monk robes, with a handsome face, a dot of cinnabar between his eyebrows as red as blood, and a Buddha-like appearance. His whole body carried a vague Zen feeling. Just being close to him made some ministers calm down.
This is no ordinary monk, he is clearly a holy monk!
"The imperial master has done a great job in guarding the city. Come here, please give him a seat quickly!" Seeing Su Ming, Queen Chen's dull eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, but she suppressed it in the blink of an eye and ordered the chamberlain to give him a seat.
Facing Queen Chen's overtures, Su Ming's expression did not change at all. He raised his head and his gaze seemed to pass through the screen and shine directly on Queen Chen, "I would like to report to you, the siege of the capital has been lifted. Zhao Cheng, the leader of the rebels, died last night. If you die, the poor monk will come back to life!"
With just one word, a thunder was heard in the hearts of the ministers, and an uproar immediately started.
"How can this be?"
"Those are tens of thousands of forbidden troops. How could the leader of the thieves die so easily?"
"Could it be that armies from various places came to Beijing and defeated him?"
······
For a time, the entire court became a vegetable market, and various speculations kept popping up, but no one believed that Su Ming could do this.
