The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Never mind, everyone knows about the relationship between the princess and Jatis." Feiyan shrugged.

"It seems that after we return this time, it will be time to change the leader of the Blood Droplets." Yu Chi Zhenjin sighed.

"Why are you sighing! The princess has found her ideal husband, we should be happy for her!" Fei Yan rolled her eyes.

"Do you think this Jia Zhengxian is related to Jia Tisi?" Huang Yaoshi suddenly asked.

"Why don't you just ask?"

As Zhou Botong spoke, he called out to Jia Daoshi, "Chief Jia, come over and have a drink, and maybe we can chat."

Jia Daoshi glanced back at them and said coldly, "Get out!"

Zhou Botong: "..."

The court officials were all puzzled, wondering why Jia Daoshi had suddenly turned against them.

Although Jia Daoshi was arrogant and had fought against the imperial court, he had previously been polite to them.

But now, they've completely turned on us.

These imperial guards looked at each other, bewildered, wondering what had happened.

"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me this time?"

Jia Daoshi said coldly.

The officials in the court looked at each other in bewilderment.

They did have something they hadn't told Jia Daoshi.

“Jia Tisi certainly has a keen eye.” Fei Yan paused. “I wonder how Jia Tisi discovered it?”

Now that we've already talked things out, there's no need to hide it anymore.

Jia Daoshi said calmly, "Just now down there, were you preparing to make a move? And when we passed that trench, weren't you the ones who caused those octopuses to riot? All along the way, you've been deliberately looking for danger here; it's too obvious."

“Since Jia Tisi already knows, then we’ll be frank.” Yu Chi Zhenjin nodded and said, “The Empress’s secret decree is that our main task this time is to encircle and annihilate the various martial arts sects and families that have entered this time, and not let them return alive.”

"Actually, this is also part of the Imperial City Guard's duties. How about we cooperate with Chief Justice Jatis?"

Jia Daoshi sneered. This empress was indeed no good person; she was treacherous, cunning, and ruthless.

If it weren't for Ji Bingyan, I might have been on that list too.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate,” Jia Daoshi shook his head. “Some of them are my friends.”

Ji Wuxin wanted to eliminate dissidents, which was none of his business, but he had a fairly good relationship with some of them.

"Is Jia Tisi referring to Sun Xingyu, the Holy Maiden of the Moon Worship Cult?" Yu Chi Zhenjin shook his head. "Jia Tisi, you already have so many beautiful wives. One shouldn't be too greedy!"

Jia Daoshi narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to have a go at me?"

"Jia Tisi, others may fear you, but I don't!" Yu Chi Zhenjin had previously mentioned being a little fan of Princess Taiping. Ever since Ji Bingyan was taken in by Jia Daoshi, he had been feeling somewhat repressed. Now, provoked by Jia Daoshi, he couldn't take it anymore!

You already have so many stunningly beautiful wives, and you've even slept with a princess!

You're still thinking about other women!

Isn't that going too far!

Upon seeing Yuchi Zhenjin's appearance, Jia Daoshi immediately laughed and said, "Come on, let's go outside!"

Upon seeing this, Daoist Qianhe hurriedly stepped in to mediate: "Chief Jia, Yuchi Zhenjin, if you want to make a move, you can't do it here."

“Jia Tishi, we don’t really intend to kill everyone who enters here. We have a list, and we only need to kill the people on the list.”

As he spoke, Master Qianhe took out an envelope from his pocket, took out a list from it, and handed it to Jia Daoshi.

"Um……"

Jia Daoshi glanced at it briefly; it was mostly filled with the leaders of various sects.

"You want to kill Lu Meijiao from the Beggar Clan too?"

After reading it, Jia Daoshi was somewhat surprised.

The Beggars' Sect and the imperial court have always had a good relationship.

When the Beggars' Sect was fighting with the Longwu Dynasty for control of Sifang City, they even helped the imperial court search for supplies.

Master Qianhe said, "Two years ago, the four top experts of the Suspended Mirror Division were chasing a group of notorious bandits. They trapped them in an inn, but when they were about to close the net, they were suddenly interfered with, and the bandits escaped. The four top experts of the Suspended Mirror Division were retaliated against afterward, and their families were all killed in a tragic manner!"

Master Qianhe is the head of the Suspended Mirror Bureau, specializing in solving cases.

"Could this matter be related to Lu Meijiao?" Jia Daoshi frowned.

“That’s right. My spies later received evidence that the one who provided intelligence to this group of notorious bandits was none other than Lu Meijiao from the Beggar Clan!” Master Qianhe’s tone was icy.

“Lu Meijiao must die,” Yuchi Zhenjin said coldly. “All these years, he has been hiding very well, giving us no chance.”

Jia Daoshi shrugged. He didn't know any of the people on the list. "Kill them if you want."

"What's next?"

Killing someone like Lu Meijiao couldn't be done openly. Lu Meijiao still held some prestige within the Beggars' Sect, and killing him openly would definitely provoke dissatisfaction within the sect.

The Beggars' Sect is the largest sect in the world. This sect cannot be eliminated at all. The best solution is to cooperate.

“We’re planning an assassination,” Fei Yan said after a moment’s thought. “It would be best to take advantage of the dangers within the Martial God Temple to eliminate them.”

Zhou Botong sighed: "In my opinion, the Martial God Temple doesn't seem to pose any danger. We should probably make some changes to our previous plans."

Does this mean that the imperial court is planning to take action openly?

"No rush." ​​Huang Yaoshi said calmly, then a mysterious look appeared on his face. "There's something I don't know if you know about."

"what's up?"

Huang Yaoshi said in a deep voice, "Actually, this list already exists. According to His Majesty's wishes, it should be implemented after she breaks through in her martial arts realm."

Upon hearing this, the group of people were taken aback and then fell silent.

"Then His Majesty didn't say that he had broken through, did he? Does His Majesty think that he has no hope of breaking through?" Fei Yan asked with a puzzled look.

“If His Majesty had wanted to carry out a mission like this for a long time, he would have made arrangements in advance and notified us beforehand. But His Majesty only gave us this secret decree right before we set off!” Huang Yaoshi took a sip of wine and said, “On the sea journey here, I have been thinking about a question. His Majesty seems to be in a great hurry and very eager to wipe out the entire martial arts world.”

Zhou Botong was bewildered: "Her Majesty is in a hurry? What's she in a hurry for?"

Huang Yaoshi countered, "Old rascal, if you're really anxious about something, why is that?"

Zhou Botong: "If they're in a real hurry, then there's definitely not enough time."

"That's right, so why does His Majesty feel that there isn't enough time?"

"Could it be the rebels? Or those princes? Or perhaps Minghe Ying?" Zhou Botong said.

The topic has veered off course; the discussion was originally about the Temple of Martial Gods, but now it's turned into a discussion about the Empress.

However, after discussing it for a while, no one had any clue.

Purely based on guesswork.

Because right now, everyone doesn't have many clues.

Even if they were the core experts of the imperial court, they didn't have any more intelligence.

After all, she is the supreme ruler, the Empress!

"After all that you've said, have you noticed something?" Ji Bingyan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked.

"what's up?"

"Why are the sword marks on the murals below, the newly painted murals, exactly the same as before, and the style is exactly the same?"

"Logically speaking, these absolutely cannot be the same person! But the two murals are exactly the same in style, depth of sword marks, trend, and sharpness! Who painted them?"

Jia Daoshi suddenly looked at Ji Bingyan with new respect, realizing that his wife was definitely not just a pretty face with no brains.

If people had recorded the events of that time in the form of murals hundreds or thousands of years ago, this place shouldn't look like this now.

Moreover, who was the person who later went out to sea alone by boat?

"Everyone, be alert! There may be a major crisis on this island!" Master Qianhe said in a deep voice.
