'boom.'
As the main formation was cut through by Xu Shan's sword, the sacred and inviolable 'Witch God Dharma Image' in everyone's eyes was swallowed up by the even more explosive scarlet nine dragons!
The originally dark sky returned to normal in an instant!
The "power of heaven" that put pressure on them is gone!
And the young figure who had shattered the 'true god' in their hearts with one sword still hovered between heaven and earth.
So far away...
Visually, it seems a little small; but in the hearts of the common people, the wanderers, the local nobles, and the garrison troops, it is as awe-inspiring as a towering mountain!
Before, the people who had criticized Xu Shan and his party in order to save their lives and avoid being affected, now stood there in astonishment.
At this moment, they had not yet fully recovered from their shock.
Everything that just happened completely overturned their understanding of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei.
In the narrow-minded thinking of these people and under the deliberate ideological enslavement of the Shu Palace, the imperial court and the emperor's personal soldiers are nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Especially Feng Kun, who was arrogant and domineering, solidified the prejudice against the Jinyiwei and imperial power in people's hearts!
But now, this imperial envoy named Xu shattered all their beliefs with one sword, and at the same time made them full of awe for that touch of crimson!
He Zhishan came to his senses in an instant and was still a little excited.
The local nobles who accompanied him even tugged at his clothes, muttering, "Sir, there is hope for 'self-governance by the Shu scholars'."
"Shh, be careful, the walls have ears."
Having said that, He Zhishan couldn't help but smile a little.
Then he turned around and said, "Try your best to cooperate with all of Emperor Xu's investigations in the Shu army."
"If I can't give it to them openly, I'll do it secretly so they can find out by accident."
"Yes!"
At this point, Xu Qi, the magistrate of Wanzhou who was accompanying him, whispered to He Zhishan, "Sir, as far as I know, the reason why Imperial Envoy Xu chose Wanzhou as his first stop on his journey into Sichuan was to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the former subordinates of the Northern Marquis when they were stationed here before the rebellion."
"This involved several murders, the robbery of imperial grain, and the 'treason' of the Jingjia Army."
"How deep is the water inside? Your Excellency knows better than this humble official, right?"
"These cases are all inextricably linked to the Shu Palace. The Shu Princess is putting immense pressure on us to not allow a re-investigation."
"Especially during the period when the imperial envoy entered Sichuan! If we were to expose this issue at this time, I'm afraid it would..."
Before Xu Qi could finish his words, He Zhishan turned around, glared at him, and said, "Are we the ones who want to expose this?"
"It was Imperial Envoy Xu and his subordinates who were meticulous and discovered these things through clues."
"We will report everything we need to the Shu Palace without missing a single word. We will cooperate with the imperial envoy meticulously!"
Hearing this, Xu Qi nodded heavily and said, "I understand!"
"Sir, I'll arrange it right away."
Just when He Zhishan ordered Xu Qi to do the job, Xu Shan, who was hanging in the air, had already put away his knife and landed on the ground.
'Clap. '
The moment his toes touched the ground, his eyes glanced at the local garrison not far away who had just shouted the loudest, fiercest and most harshly.
‘Gulu. ’
Just one look frightened the more than a thousand soldiers so much that they couldn't help but swallow deeply.
'Clatter.'
Especially Xu Shan, when he strode towards them with big strides, the soldiers who were originally standing there scattered around gathered together.
It seems that only by gathering together for warmth can we alleviate the fear in our hearts.
"This is what you're talking about..."
"An omnipotent and boundless altar messenger?"
"How does it compare to the Imperial Envoy of the Ming Dynasty?"
Faced with Xu Shan's sudden questioning, the garrison soldiers huddled together, their faces pale and they shook their heads like rattles.
"You mean to say that the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty is inferior to the envoy sitting on the altar?"
'bass.'
As he said this, Xu Shan, who was holding the knife with one hand, pushed the handle open with his thumb.
The Zhengyang Sword, which had just cut down the 'Witch God Dharma Image', only revealed two fingers, but it made all the soldiers present panic.
"No, no!"
"Yes, he is the envoy sitting on the altar, far inferior to you, the Imperial Envoy!"
The adjutant in charge shouted at the top of his voice.
"Really? But how come I didn't notice it?"
"You said that as soon as this altar envoy put on a show, you fell to your knees as if you had no bones."
"But I am an imperial envoy, representing the imperial power, entering Shu, and from beginning to end, I have never seen you bow your heads!"
'Plop.'
As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, thousands of soldiers stationed there knelt on the ground at lightning speed.
Then, a collective trembling cry was heard: "To all the soldiers stationed in Wanzhou..."
"Meet the Imperial Envoy of the Ming Dynasty."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
As they spoke, they buried their heads on the ground, not daring to look him in the eye.
"look……"
"If this had been the case earlier, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings."
"We, the Jinyiwei, have always been responsible for killing, not burying!"
"Inmates, please clean up the bodies on Dongxu Road and Wanzhou Avenue."
"Wipe the blood off the ground!"
"Is there a problem?"
Faced with Xu Shan's oppressive questioning, the leading deputy general hurriedly shouted: "No, no problem!"
"It is our honor to serve the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty."
"Okay. Keep up the attitude."
After saying that, Xu Shan turned around and walked towards the Pacification Office with brisk steps.
During this period, the Jinyiwei who returned to the team one by one stood behind their masters in order of rank.
Although the troops consisted of only a few hundred men, their ranks were neat, their steps were unified, and their momentum was overwhelming...
‘Poof! ’
During this time, someone knelt first. Commoners, merchants, and wanderers standing on both sides of Wanzhou Avenue followed suit.
Immediately afterwards, shouts rang out one after another at the scene: "Common people... greet the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
'Snapped. '
Hearing this, Xu Shan, with a smile on his face, stopped and glanced at everyone, saying, "In the Ming Dynasty, whether it's a god or a demon..."
"No one can surpass the might of the Ming Dynasty!"
"This imperial envoy has come to Sichuan to show mercy to the people on behalf of Your Majesty."
"A thorough investigation into illegal activities by local officials."
"Feng Kun, formerly the pacification commissioner of the Shu Commandery, falsely conveyed an imperial decree, using the 'Son of Heaven's' order to demand tax silver. He has now been executed by slicing."
"His subordinates are colluding with the local Beggars' Sect and attempting to cause chaos in Wanzhou."
"According to Ming law, he should be put to death!"
"Lu Ning..."
"Yes, sir!"
"Lead your men and bring over the former Jinyiwei from the Shu Commandery!"
"Execute in public! To prove your resolve."
"Yes."
Following Xu Shan's order, Li Jing and others were pulled and dragged over by Lu Ning and his group.
