Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

If you don't follow me, I will scold you every now and then, and deal with your little brother from time to time. After a long time, I'll see if you can still lead the team!

If you follow...

In the court, Song Xuan and Ji Xuanfeng looked at each other.

What we are waiting for is a big fight between your Wang Party and the Lin Party where they impeach each other. When things get out of hand, with the Ministry of Justice's good behavior of trying to smooth things over, the Xuanyi Guard will be able to take over the case naturally.

To be honest, among the ministers in the court, who hasn't done something illegal when they reach their position? The Xuanyi Guards have already collected all kinds of evidence. With just one order from Song Xuan, most of the court will be cleared out in an instant.

But Ji Xuanfeng and Song Xuan still had some shame and had to go through the necessary procedures. They gradually replaced the personnel under the pretext of rectifying factional disputes, so as to avoid killing too many people at once and causing the court's affairs to stagnate.

However, what surprised Song Xuan was that the chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Yan, was really quite knowledgeable. He acted as if, "You Lin Party can impeach me however you want, but I, Wang Yan, am loyal to the emperor and patriotic and will never get involved."

The stalemate lasted for more than two months. The Censorate had impeached several officials of the fourth rank and above, three of whom had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice awaiting trial. But even so, Wang Yan and his party showed no sign of resistance.

...

In the imperial study, Ji Xuanfeng and Song Xuan were drinking tea.

Ji Xuanfeng: "Old fellow Wang Yan has been able to stand firm for three dynasties without falling. His determination is truly remarkable!"

Song Xuan: "How about just killing him?"

Ji Xuanfeng rolled his eyes. "The court isn't the martial arts world. I'm the Son of Heaven. Even if I have to kill someone, I have to do it in a dignified and upright manner. Isn't it a bit too low for me, the Son of Heaven, to end up like this before the factional strife even begins?"

Song Xuan rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, since you still have shame, then I will change the direction to start the group!"

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Next, I will try to start from Tangzhou. The relationship between King Wei and Wang Yan is very deep. If King Wei falls, he will definitely be involved."

Chapter 425: Mr. Song's Peaceful Life

Inside the Xuanyiwei Commander's Office, Song Xuan was currently reviewing memorials from various prefectures.

Since returning from his honeymoon, his life has been very stable.

He works from nine to five every day, spends an hour reviewing documents, occasionally summons some subordinates for talks, and spends the rest of his working time directly on cultivation.

The Xuanyiwei library houses various martial arts secrets and even some notes on the laws of comprehension left by some great masters. Song Xuan spends more than half of his time there every day.

A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade, and reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is the same principle that applies to warriors.

As Song Xuan's work gradually got on track, Yao Yue's visits to the yamen gradually decreased, and he focused on cultivation.

She was under more pressure than Song Xuan. No one could tell her how to practice as the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon. She could only figure it out bit by bit on her own.

At this moment, Song Xuan was looking at the memorial sent by Ye Gucheng.

"After receiving the transfer order, all twelve captains have departed for the imperial capital. It was much easier than expected...

I have nothing to do tonight, so I practice swordplay on the top of a mountain. The moonlight rests on the edge of the sword, and it seems to be colder than the sword itself.

Maybe it's because there are no stars tonight, the moon is lonelier than usual. This kind of moonlight is not bad, but very beautiful. I won't feel bored even if I look at it all night...

The martial arts world of Tangzhou is more exciting than expected. The demonic sects and Buddhist sects, as well as heroes from all walks of life, are like crucian carp crossing the river. This trip is truly worthwhile..."

I wrote a lot of things, but the summary is that the work went so smoothly that I didn't find any opportunity to lose my temper.

But since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed, so I wandered around Tangzhou's martial arts world, never once defeating a master. Loneliness is truly like the snow...

There is a sense of arrogance between the lines.

In the absence of the Grand Master, it would be difficult for Ye Gucheng to find an opponent in a one-on-one fight in the Grand Master realm.

Song Xuan silently put away the letter, feeling speechless.

In the court, the chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Yan, acted like a turtle and refused to fight in a group battle. The emperor wanted to save face, so he couldn't just leave.

In Tangzhou, it must be said that the oppressive feeling of the Xuanyiwei was still too strong. Even though the thousand households of the twelve prefectures of Tangzhou had already become alienated from the central government of the imperial capital, even so, after receiving the transfer order, they still chose to obey the order and did not dare to directly resist.

Everyone was so obedient that Song Xuan couldn't find a suitable opportunity to start killing.

Open the memorial sent by Jiumozhi and Murong Fu.

Song Xuan's expression just eased a little.

Jiumozhi, a monk who was good at talking, debated Buddhism with people in many places in Tangzhou. His reputation as a great monk gradually spread, and he was eventually successfully recruited by King Wei Ji Changkong and became a member of his staff.

Murong Fu's ability in speaking was not as good as Jiumozhi's, and he had no intention of directly surrendering to King Wei, so he took a different approach. After entering Tangzhou and collecting some information, he chose to join the killer organization Qingyi Tower.

That’s right, this killer organization is exactly the Qingyi Tower that Song Xuan was in when he was in Mingzhou.

After Huo Xiu, the owner of Qingyi Tower, was subdued by Song Xuan in Zaolin, he had the support of Xuanyi Guards behind him and developed very quickly in secret. Now the scope of business has expanded to Tangzhou.

Murong Fu completed several difficult tasks in just half a month and became a gold medal killer of the Tangzhou branch of Qingyi Tower.

With the reputation of the gold medal killer raised, the business volume naturally increased a lot, and Murong Fu began to be picky, only accepting tasks related to the Prince of Wei's Mansion and only killing people related to the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

To put it bluntly, he was taking a path of killing and setting fires in the hope of being recruited.

If he surrendered directly to the King of Wei, he would inevitably be suspected and guarded against, but it was different for the assassin.

Killers, who take money from people to help them eliminate disasters, have no fixed stance.

As King Ji Changkong of Wei wanted to achieve great things, he would inevitably think of recruiting people.

After spending a lot of energy and financial resources to poach Murong Fu, the gold medal killer, not to mention treating him like a treasure, at least his status and treatment will not be low, and it will also be much easier to collect information from the palace.

Closing the letter, Song Xuan sighed inwardly.

This guy was forced to do this!

In the past, Murong Fu was not weak in martial arts, but he was too arrogant and could not lower himself to a low standard. After the battle at Leigushan, he seemed to have suddenly come to his senses.

When the right way doesn't work, there's still the roundabout way.

Time passes slowly and leisurely.

Song Xuan's life schedule is very regular. He goes to work during the day and goes home to work with his wife at night. It seems like he is living a peaceful life.

Ji Xuanfeng didn't seem to be in a hurry to purge the court. This guy was also a cultivation maniac. Apart from necessary government affairs, most of the memorials were pushed to the cabinet. He would review them after the cabinet gave appropriate opinions.

As for the time saved, he basically used it all for cultivation.

The emperor is not in a hurry, and Song Xuan is even less anxious.

At worst, he could wait another ten or twenty years until he became a perfect grandmaster, and then he could conquer all the places in Kyushu.

The emperor did not make any move, and the Xuanyi Guards did not seem to have any intention of starting a war. All the civil and military officials in the court could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.

Of course, it's not that there is no movement at all. For example, the wealthy families in Qingzhou have suffered a lot. Almost every day, there are ships returning from Qingzhou, escorting batches of Qingzhou gentry and wealthy families to the Xuanyiwei Prison for trial.

The children of noble families who were once high and mighty were now walking in rags on the way to the imperial prison, and were occasionally pelted with rotten eggs and cabbages by the people on the street. It was so miserable.

But all the civil and military officials in the court seemed to have forgotten the incident in Qingzhou, and no one mentioned it.

No matter whether they are civil officials or military officers, everyone has the same opinion: I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die!

The young commander, Lord Song Xuansong, has three things to do when he takes office. We must find something for him to do. It is better for him to do this to those poor people in Qingzhou than to do it to himself!

The worse Qingzhou suffered, the more at ease the ministers in the court felt.

So many people have been killed in Qingzhou, we can’t just go on a killing spree in the court, right?

......

One day, Song Xuan returned home from get off work.

The atmosphere in the manor was a bit depressing. Along the way, whether it was the maids or the master-level flower slaves that Yao Yue brought with her when she got married, they all lowered their heads cautiously and did not dare to breathe.

Victoria Song is painting in the West Courtyard, and the painting is of herself.

In the painting, Victoria Song is wearing a blood-red gown, looking extremely cold and unruly. The coldness in her eyes seems to affect reality through the painting, and the whole yard is filled with an inexplicable chill.

"I said I felt low air pressure as soon as I got back. Could it be you who caused it?"

Victoria Song curled her lips and said, "What does it have to do with me? I won't take the blame for your wife's crime!"

Chapter 426 Yao Yue: My subordinate Hua Yuenu has defected!

Upon hearing this, Song Xuan's expression changed. Could it be that something went wrong with Yao Yue's cultivation?

Entering the east wing, Yao Yue was staring at a secret letter in her hand over and over again, the murderous intent in her eyes almost solidified into reality.

"My husband is back?"

Seeing Song Xuan pushing the door open, the murderous intent in Yao Yue's eyes immediately disappeared. With a gentle smile on her face, she stood up and took off Song Xuan's cloak.

"But what happened?"

Song Xuan casually took Yao Yue into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her creamy earlobe.

Yao Yue shuddered, "Does my husband still remember Hua Yue Nu?"

"Remember, your personal maid? Before we left, she was temporarily in charge of Yihua Palace. I saw that you had murderous intentions just now. Could it be that she burned down Yihua Palace?"

Although he said this, Song Xuan had a rough idea in his mind. If nothing unexpected happened, the story of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque would begin.

"It's not like she's going to burn it, she's not that capable yet!"

Yao Yue looked a little indignant, "She defected!"

"Oh!"

Song Xuan thought to himself that it was indeed so.

"You just?" Yao Yue carefully watched Song Xuan's reaction.

Although Yao Yue appears gentle and obedient in front of Song Xuan, she is actually very proud at heart. The person in charge of Yihua Palace whom she personally appointed defected, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.

She didn't care about other people's opinions, but since her own personal maid could defect, she was worried that her husband would have a bad opinion of her.

"There must be a reason for defecting. Did the letter state the reason?"

“It seems to be because of men!”

Yao Yue was a little annoyed. "She wants to get married, so she just told me. How can I stop her?"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"I don't mind her finding a man, but I can't stand the fact that she dares to defect!"

"My dear, I need to go back to Yihua Palace to clean up the mess." She nudged her head in Song Xuan's arms, "Let's put the birthing of the child aside for now. We can continue when I come back."

"That won't do. Giving birth is a big deal and we can't delay it for even a day!"

Song Xuan said seriously, "Yihua Palace is half your family home. I have nothing to do recently, so I will go back with you to take a look!"

If nothing unexpected happens, the man who abducted Hua Yuenu should be Yan Nantian's sworn brother, Jiang Feng, also known as Yulang.

Song Xuan had heard from Yan Nantian that his sworn brother Jiang Feng was about 70% similar to himself. Now that he had caught up with the plot, he might as well go and see how much the resemblance was.

Yao Yue blinked, her eyes so soft and charming that they seemed to be dripping with tears. "Well, I'll do as you say!"

Outside the yard, Victoria Song was still painting.

Song Xuan said, "Your sister-in-law and I are going on a long journey."

"What a coincidence! I'm also going on a long trip soon!" Song Qian put away the scroll and said, "A few days ago, Little Huang Rong wrote me a letter saying that the peach blossoms on Peach Blossom Island are in full bloom, and the falling petals are extremely beautiful. She invited me to go and enjoy the flowers."

"Huang Rong?"

Yao Yue smiled and asked, "Is that the mistress your brother keeps outside?"

Song Qian was stunned and a little confused?

Did my brother raise it?

I do not know!

She looked at Song Xuan, her eyes full of inquiry, but the old man just looked up at the sky, as if he didn't hear their conversation at all.

Song Qian immediately stamped her feet and said, "It's okay if I raise him, right?"

She muttered as she walked towards the door, and could faintly hear Song Erni's cursing voice.

"Two psychos!"

Watching Victoria Song walk away, Yao Yue smiled and said, "You two have such a good relationship as siblings. Victoria is really willing to take the blame for anything!"

Song Xuan chuckled, "I'll go to the government office to arrange the follow-up work. We'll set off tonight and arrive at Yihua Palace early tomorrow morning!"

After he finished speaking, a shadow was left behind and the person disappeared.

Yao Yue snorted and stamped her feet.
