But no matter who it is, at least one thing is certain.

That is, Liu Zongmin was killed in one blow.

Clean and neat, without any drag.

This is very scary.

Liu Zongmin was stronger than himself. If the murderer could kill Liu Zongmin, he could also kill himself.

This put Emperor Shun, who had not yet recovered from the loss of his generals and capable troops, into an uneasy situation.

Emperor Shun hurriedly summoned his attendants to inquire about the situation.

The Shun army was able to enter the capital because not all of its entourage were mediocre. It was just that the Shun emperor was drunk every day and ignored state affairs. Even if his entourage saw the crisis, no one dared to make suggestions.

Even the prime minister was under house arrest. Who among the small fry dared to show up? If they angered Emperor Shun, they might lose their heads.

As a result, Emperor Shun didn't know the truth until he asked, and was shocked when he asked.

There's actually a land immortal hidden in the capital! !

Two external force masters of Di State, Aqi Ge and Aqina, both disappeared inexplicably in the capital.

There were also incidents of falling demons and demon gatherings that occurred some time ago, which were also inexplicably quelled.

One thing after another, no matter how big the unrest in the capital was, it would be quelled in a very short time.

The more Emperor Shun listened, the more frightened he became. He had been in the capital for over a month, which was the longest time. Everything was fine until noon when Liu Zongmin led his men to rob the Qingniu Immortal Temple and burned it to the ground. That's when the incident happened.

The direction of the matter suddenly became clear.

Great Green Ox Immortal!

Emperor Shun felt a chill on his back, and Song Xiance also felt the chill at the same time.

The Green Ox Immortal killed not only Liu Zongmin, but also Niu Jinxing.

If the Green Ox Immortal traces the source and starts a massacre, then I will also be in danger. I was also involved in the torture.

Niu Jinxing died, and so did I.

"Your Majesty, Lijing is in danger." Song Xiance said in a low voice. While saying this, he glanced around cautiously with a nervous expression. He felt that the Green Ox Immortal was hiding in some corner and could jump out and smash anyone's head.

Emperor Shun glared at Song Xiance fiercely. He naturally knew the danger.

The question is, what to do?

The immortals on land cannot be dealt with by just numbers.

Song Xiance lowered his head slightly, his eyes rolling around for a moment, then raised his head again and said, "Your Majesty, our army has occupied Lijing for over a month, and the situation is now stable. It would be better for us to return to the capital as soon as possible."

Emperor Shun looked at him and opened his mouth. What he said was... too smooth.

Return to Beijing?

That’s right, the place where Emperor Shun succeeded to the throne was not Lijing, but Xiangyang in Huguang.

Strictly speaking, the capital of Dashun was indeed Xiangyang.

But the problem was that the ceremony of his enthronement was sloppy. Seeing that the general trend of the world was clearly leaning towards him, he simply held a coronation ceremony at the suggestion of Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, changed the name of Xiangyang to Xiangjing, and then did what he had to do.

After ascending the throne, the war went extremely smoothly.

The Dashun Army soon left Xiangyang and headed east and north.

The place was called Xiangjing, but it had no government offices, no palaces, and no ancestral temples. It was just a dilapidated small county town.

If the situation did not require it, it would not have been its turn.

Lijing has been operated for hundreds of years across two dynasties. It is connected to the Grand Canal in the south and guards the nine borders in the north. It is guarded by the strong pass that the Li Dynasty spent countless money and grain to protect, making it the most suitable capital.

Even if we have to settle for the second best, it should be Jiangnan or Suzhou and Hangzhou areas.

Xiangyang is a place where wars are fought on all sides, so we absolutely cannot do that.

To put it bluntly, Song Xiance's so-called return to the capital was actually just "escape."

"Shut up!"

Emperor Shun was angry. After he sobered up, his intelligence had returned to a high level, and he naturally understood the importance of Lijing to Dashun.

This is the old capital of the previous dynasty. If something happens again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Great Green Ox Immortal is terrifying, but there is still room for easing.

Didn’t they burn down the Green Ox Immortal Temple? Can’t they just rebuild it?

Or use some other method.

Song Xiance didn't dare to speak. He also understood how reckless his "return to the capital" was.

"Report!"

But at this moment, someone rushed in, almost barging in, and knelt on his knees, wailing, "Your Majesty, this is terrible! The 70 million taels of gold and silver we just recovered are all...all gone."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

Emperor Shun's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, Lijing is in danger." Song Xiance swallowed and whispered again.
