The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"General Xie truly lives up to his reputation as a butcher..."

Li Jingtian watched as Xie Xuan instantly killed Qin Baichuan and personally led 100,000 Jingying soldiers to hunt down the Yizhou army and county troops. His face showed shock as he spoke.

"Lord Li, should we stop them?"

Ximen Jue hesitated for a moment, then asked Li Jingtian.

Why should we stop it?

Li Jingtian said softly.

"These are all soldiers of our Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Ximen Jue sighed and said, "Many of the soldiers in the Yizhou army were recruited after the defeat."

They themselves did not join Murong Zhi in the rebellion.

"General Xie has already given them a chance."

Opportunities don't last forever.

"Moreover, slaughtering them all would be more effective than keeping them alive!"

"It's not just them who will die; the entire Jiang family who rebelled with Murong Zhi will die!"

"The Chiang family should be exterminated along with their entire clan!"

"Only in this way can their deaths serve as a deterrent to more people!"

"Only in this way can our Great Zhou Dynasty be as stable as a mountain, and can the people live and work in peace and contentment!"

Li Jingtian pondered for a moment, then said.

"Moreover, the master has not shown up at all."

"The adults are definitely watching the battle too."

"If the lord does not come out to stop it, it means that the lord supports General Xie Xuan's massacre of the rebels."

"I said quietly."

"I understand."

Ximen Jue said with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Perhaps the soldiers of Yizhou who were caught up in the situation were innocent.

But if General Xie Xuan had lost that battle, or if the Beijing garrison had lost...

That would endanger countless people throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Lin Huaiyu nodded slightly, remaining silent.

"Decisive and ruthless, unstoppable!"

"No wonder His Majesty chose to send General Xie Xuan to suppress the rebellion."

Chu Xiu remained standing on the rooftop of the high building, his hands behind his back, watching this scene with a calm expression, and said...

Half an hour later.

Sheriff's Mansion.

hall.

Chu Xiu and Xie Xuan sat upright in the hall.

At this moment, Xie Xuan was dressed in white, looking refined and elegant, showing no trace of the murderous aura he had just displayed.

"General Xie, now that Murong Zhi and the others are dead, the rebellious Yizhou army and county troops have also been completely suppressed."

"I'll head out first and return to the capital."

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said.

"If it weren't for Lord Chu single-handedly killing Murong Zhi and Jiang Tiansheng, the patriarch of the Jiang family, and annihilating the entire army of ten thousand demons."

“Suppressing the rebels will be no easy task.”

"Lord Chu, Xie Xuan offers you a cup of tea instead of wine!"

Xie Xuan picked up his teacup and said with a serious expression.

To be honest, he was still incredibly confused even after he had wiped out the rebels.

He was extremely surprised that Murong Zhi and Jiang Tiansheng did not appear.

Even the demon army didn't appear!

Finally, he learned that whether it was Murong Zhi, Jiang Tiansheng, or the demon army, they had all been wiped out by Chu Xiu alone!

Moreover, the number of demons was indeed different from what they had known.

It's not five thousand!

It's ten thousand!

Xie Xuan knew very well that if Jiang Tiansheng truly possessed an army of ten thousand demons, and they formed a battle formation under his personal command, he would be no match for him!

He's very likely the one who'll lose today!

Even he, the deputy general of the Beijing garrison known as the "butcher," felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this news.

Chu Xiu's strength is far more terrifying and frightening than anyone could have imagined!

Fortunately, he was on our side; he was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"General Xie, you're too kind."

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "We are all serving His Majesty, this is what I should do."

"Lord Chu, you deserve the greatest credit today!"

"I, Xie Xuan, only deserve secondary credit!"

"I have truthfully written down the details of this battle in a memorial to the throne and dispatched someone to the capital at the fastest speed to report to His Majesty!"

Xie Xuan looked out of the hall and said, "By the time this memorial arrives in the capital, it should be dawn."

Chu Xiu smiled, cupped his hands in greeting to Xie Xuan, and said, "General Xie, you are too kind."

He didn't seem to be being modest at all.

His role in this battle was indeed far superior to Xie Xuan's.

even.

He could kill both Jiang Ruyi and Qin Baichuan single-handedly with his sword, leaving the Yizhou army leaderless and powerless to resist.

Xie Xuan could directly lead his army into the city of Yuejun County.

However, he did not do so, thus leaving a legacy for Xie Xuan and the 100,000 soldiers of the Beijing Garrison.

"Lord Chu, I, Xie Xuan, owe you a favor for what happened today."

"If you need anything from now on, Lord Chu, please feel free to send someone over to give the order."

After finishing his business, Xie Xuan suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly to Chu Xiu.

He naturally knew that Chu Xiu was leaving a credit for him and for the 100,000 soldiers of the capital garrison, so that they wouldn't have made this trip for nothing.

"General Xie, this is absolutely not allowed."

"I said, we are all serving His Majesty, it's nothing special."

Chu Xiu stood up and helped Xie Xuan up, saying with a smile, "Moreover, we killed Murong Zhi and Jiang Tiansheng, and also annihilated an army of ten thousand demons."

I am no longer able to fight.

General Xie doesn't owe me any favors.

"Lord Chu, I will pay you another visit after I return to the capital."

"Now, I, Xie, will take advantage of the first light of dawn to lead the army on its way and seize the opportunity to take over the remaining four prefectures."

"And eliminate all those who participated in the rebellion."

Xie Xuan considered it for a moment and then spoke to Chu Xiu.

He naturally understood what Chu Xiu meant by repeatedly emphasizing that they were all serving His Majesty.

One of them was a general in the Beijing Garrison, and the other was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

If the two of them are very close, it will have a certain impact on both of them.

It's even possible that those high-ranking officials in the court who have always wanted to attack Chu Xiu will slander him, accusing him of plotting to usurp the throne, which is why he has been strengthening the Embroidered Uniform Guard and is now even associating with the generals of the Capital Garrison.

However, he still wanted to pay Chu Xiu a visit after returning to the capital and invite him for a drink.

As long as they don't get too close, they won't be attacked by the high-ranking officials in the court.

"Alright, I should return to the capital now."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Alright, Lord Chu, we'll meet again another day!"

Xie Xuan said firmly and forcefully.

Chu Xiu moved and disappeared from the hall.

After watching Chu Xiu leave, Xie Xuan also strode away, leaving a portion of the Jingying garrison to guard Yuejun County, before leading the army on its way.

Yizhou, the capital city.

State pastoral office.

Zheng Lin, the steward of the governor's mansion, arrived deep inside the mansion and bowed respectfully, saying, "Reporting to the master, Murong Zhi is dead."

Swish!

A handsome, robust, and heroic-looking middle-aged man dressed in the purple robes of the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared out of thin air before Zheng Lin and said with a gloomy expression, "Murong Zhi is dead?"

This man is none other than Zheng Min, the governor and general manager of Yizhou!
