Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"Oh no! Quickly send someone to inform the prefect. What if Song Xuan is coming for our Sun family? It will be too late if we are late!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several young disciples of the Sun family hurriedly left through the back door and headed towards the prefectural government office.

On the other side, inside the Jiang family compound.

The head of the family, Jiang Shouye, was directing the maids and servants to clean the house with a gloomy look on his face, sighing from time to time.

A son just died today, and unexpectedly, many members of the family were assassinated by killers in the middle of the night.

It would have been fine if the others had died, but it was a pity for the concubine he had just married two days ago. She was so beautiful that I felt sorry for her. He didn't even have the chance to favor her a few times before she died in such a confused manner.

What a waste! What a waste!

Just when he was feeling heartbroken, suddenly, a servant came running over in a panic.

"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!"

"Why are you so flustered?" Jiang Shouye said irritably. "In Yangzhou City, my Jiang family is the sky. We can't even step on this sky. Why should we panic?"

Bang!

The moment he finished speaking, the iron gate of the Jiang family collapsed, and then, teams of Xuanyiwei cavalry wearing armor, holding long swords and carrying bows and crossbows on their backs rushed in with a murderous look on their faces.

A group of black-clothed guards suddenly rushed into the Jiang family. Jiang Shouye was stunned at first, and then anger appeared on his face.

Perhaps it was because Fang Tong, the former captain of the Xuanyi Guard, was just a capable dog in the eyes of the Jiang family, so Jiang Shouye had no fear of the Xuanyi Guard at all.

In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the Jiang family is not only a wealthy family, but also a wealthy family with hundreds of years of heritage.

Over the past hundred years, dozens of members of the clan have served as officials in the court, especially his younger brother Jiang Shoucheng, who holds the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and has the power to promote or demote tens of thousands of officials.

Even the prefect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture had to be respectful and not neglectful when meeting the head of the Jiang family.

The power of the Jiang family was accumulated by successive generations of Jiang family members. How could it be shaken by a young boy in the imperial capital, a small centurion pacification envoy?

When he thought of the Jiang family's power in the court, Jiang Shouye felt more confident and pointed at Song Xuan and snorted coldly.

"Song Xuan, do you know where this is?"

Chapter 91: The feng shui here is good, it’s a good place to bury bones!

"Where is this place?"

Song Xuan looked up and looked around, then said with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, this place has good feng shui, it's a good place to bury the bones!"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Shouye was furious, and a member of the Jiang family even stood up and pointed at Song Xuan's nose and started scolding him.

"Mr. Song, you're a bastard, you killed my Jiang family's son. I haven't come to settle the score with you yet, but you're asking for death yourself!

My Jiang family has been loyal and righteous for generations and is a family of honor and nobility. How dare you, a bastard..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a clanging sound of a sword and a flash of cold light in the air.

Everyone in the Jiang family felt as if they were dazzled. They looked at Song Xuan and the others, but they saw that Song Xuan just turned his head to glance at Song Qian, while Miss Song had a calm smile on her face, as if she had never moved.

Only Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou could sense that just now, the female hero Song Qian, who was full of murderous intentions, cut off the neck of the Jiang family member with a sword in an instant.

The sword was drawn so quickly that the others only saw a flash before their eyes and could not see any other clues.

At this moment, Jiang Shouye was staring at Song Xuan with an arrogant look on his face, even raising his hand to stroke his beard, waiting for his family members to continue insulting Song Xuan.

Others are afraid of the Xuanyi Guards, but his Jiang family is not!

He is just a warrior, a minion of the emperor, not even worthy of carrying shoes for the wealthy families!

But the next moment, his face froze, and he saw a huge head in front of him suddenly thrown up, and then scarlet hot liquid splashed out, soaking his whole body.

Jiang Shouye subconsciously wiped his face and looked at the bright red blood on his hand. He was stunned in disbelief at first, and then screamed in horror.

"what!"

In front, the headless corpse fell on Jiang Shouye with a thud. This series of stimulations made the patriarch of the Jiang family retreat repeatedly, screaming incessantly, and the arrogance of the patriarch of a wealthy family was long gone.

"waste!"

Song Qian sneered. With such courage, he dared to confront the Xuanyi Guards. She thought he was being audacious and presumptuous, but it turned out that he was just ignorant and fearless!

Having been flattered by the former Qianhu Fang Tong for a long time, the wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places have long forgotten the terror of the Xuanyiwei Tiqi in the past.

"The prefect has arrived!"

At this moment, a burst of greetings came from outside the Jiang family's gate. Song Xuan turned his head and saw an energetic and noble old man walking towards him in a hurry.

"Song Zhenfu, what's the matter with mobilizing so many troops in the middle of the night?"

As the prefect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if it were based on the administrative level divisions of China before Song Xuan traveled through time, he would definitely be comparable to a governor who was in charge of the administrative powers of several provinces.

A civil official of the third rank was so powerful that he was probably a figure with a nominal title in the eyes of the emperor.

When this local leader showed up, everyone in the Jiang family was overjoyed, as if they had found a backbone. They all started to complain and denounce Song Xuan's brutal behavior.

But Song Xuan just glanced at him calmly and nodded casually, "So it's Prefect Xu. It's late at night, and the cold is too strong here. I suggest that you go back home and rest early. You should stay out of the affairs of young people when you're old!"

Prefect Xu was stunned. Song Xuan's words were very blunt, without any polite greetings between officials. He had clearly told him that the waters were too complicated here, he couldn't handle it, so he should get out of here right away!

Prefect Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the headless corpse on the ground, then looked Song Xuan up and down. For a moment, he was not sure what this young man was going to do.

Want to destroy the Jiang family?

The Jiang family is not a small family. They have been operating in the local area for hundreds of years and have a complex network of relationships. Even in the court, there are many high-ranking officials who have close ties with the Jiang family.

If we really take action against the Jiang family, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and the emperor will probably have a headache because of it. The subsequent counterattack of the Jiang family is definitely not something that a hundred households of the Xuanyi Guard can withstand?

But seeing Song Xuan's confident look, could it be that someone behind the scenes instructed him to deal with the Jiang family?

Is it the high-ranking Xuanyi Guards in the imperial capital, or... the emperor's intention?

In recent decades, the imperial court's control over the states has weakened significantly. Although the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Mingzhou are extremely prosperous, the imperial court can hardly collect much tax.

The court could only rely on Lin Ruhai to kill a group of salt merchants every few years to provide blood transfusions.

But this method alone cannot solve the problem fundamentally. As long as the wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still exist, the tax revenue here will never return to normal.

Could it be that His Majesty has completely lost his patience with the wealthy and powerful families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and is ready to take action?

When he thought of this, Prefect Xu suddenly felt overwhelmed and immediately waved to a middle-aged man beside him who looked like a guard.

"Help me get back home quickly, my headache is coming back!"

Under Jiang Shouye's stunned gaze, the magistrate Xu was supported by someone and ran out of the Jiang family mansion. After he walked out of the door, he even breathed a sigh of relief.

"It is very wise of you to leave this place!"

The middle-aged man who was supporting Prefect Xu whispered, "I don't know the strength of the Song Xuan siblings, but I was fortunate enough to meet the two people who followed him once.

Those two are both extremely powerful innate masters in the martial arts world. Just one of them is enough to destroy the Jiang family, let alone two of them at once."

Prefect Xu's expression changed. "Are you saying that Song Xuan is determined to destroy the Jiang family tonight?"

"That's probably the case," the middle-aged man analyzed, "Generally speaking, innate masters in the martial arts world rarely take the initiative to provoke wealthy families.

Because these aristocratic families have background and connections, if you provoke them, the Xuanyiwei will pursue the people in the martial arts world relentlessly in order to calm public opinion.

But this time it was different. Although the two men were from the underworld, they were acting with the Xuanyi Guards this time, so they didn't have to worry about being hunted down by the Xuanyi Guards later.

A congenital warrior without restraints and scruples is extremely terrifying. Unless you mobilize the army, the Jiang family will perish tonight!"

"Understood!"

Prefect Xu sighed and covered his forehead, "I had a severe headache tonight and have been staying in the mansion to recuperate. I haven't left the mansion. I don't know what happened tonight!

Let's go, the water here is too deep, let's not get involved!"

......

The prefect came and left quickly, and this scene really stunned everyone.

Even Song Xuan was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that after he just threatened him, the old man would leave the place so politely.

I have to say that to be able to reach the position of a prefect, regardless of one's ability, the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm alone is still very impressive.

Chapter 92 Song Xuan’s Sword!

Seeing that the prefect had run away, Jiang Shouye finally began to panic.

As a last resort, he began to bring out the Jiang family's strongest support in the court.

"Song Xuan, my brother Jiang Shoucheng is the current Minister of Personnel, a favorite of the Emperor. How can a mere warrior like you compare to him?

Take your men away now, or I will report to the Emperor and have your entire Song family executed!"

After these words were spoken, even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh, knowing that there was no way today would end peacefully.

He was extremely intelligent. When Song Xuan mobilized troops to attack the Jiang family today, he understood that Lord Song wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and start with the Jiang family.

If the head of the Jiang family was a smart person, he would choose to surrender and submit, and perhaps he could still have a chance to survive. However, this old guy was arrogant in his daily life. Even though he was panicking at the moment, his words were still threatening and forcing.

All I can say is that one incompetent general brought disaster to the entire army. This clan leader who is as stupid as a pig deserves to have the Jiang family exterminated tonight!

Song Xuan and Song Qian looked at each other, then turned to look at Jiang Shouye, who looked fierce but was actually weak, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Since you, the head of the Jiang family, have said so, if I don't send your Jiang family to a Nine Clans Elimination Game, wouldn't it make me seem too weak and incompetent?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and said in a cold voice: "The Jiang family of Yangzhou secretly stored bows, crossbows and armor, raised assassins, and besieged the emperor's personal army of the Xuanyi Guards. They are plotting a rebellion!

All officers and soldiers, listen to my order! Seal off the Jiang family and capture all those involved in the rebellion. Anyone who dares to stop them from escaping will be charged with treason and executed without mercy!

As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of long swords being unsheathed came one after another, and the friction of armor seemed even more unusually harsh in the Jiang family compound.

"Traitor, how dare you bully our Jiang family like this!"

In a side room, an old man with white hair and beard came over, supported by two maids, and came to Song Xuan with an angry face.

"I am Jiang Chengshan, an official who held the position of Minister of Rites. Two years ago, I retired and returned home. The Emperor and all the officials gave me a ten-mile farewell. You, little brat, are you really deceiving me because I have no one in the Jiang family?!

The old man stretched his neck in front of Song Xuan and sneered, "Mr. Song, if you have the guts, chop me off first. I want to see if you have the guts!"

Song Xuan didn't say anything, just smiled faintly.

"Why don't you dare?"

The old man laughed and said, "Come on, Song family boy, come and kill me! I want to see whether you are more important to the emperor or I am more important!"

"Come on, come and kill me!"

Song Xuan sighed lightly, raised his hand to take the knife from a black-clothed guard behind him, and stabbed the old man's neck with one knife.

"I've never seen this kind of request in my life. Today is really an eye-opener!"

As he spoke, he kicked Jiang Chengshan, who was still hissing and breathing heavily, to the ground, and pointed his long sword far ahead.

"Anyone who dares to resist, regardless of gender, age or status, will be killed without mercy!"

"As ordered!"

The vibration sound of war horses stepping on the ground roared, and hundreds of Xuanyiwei cavalry rode their horses, with long swords raised high in their hands. Anyone from the Jiang family who dared to escape or resist would be killed without hesitation!

Song Xuan said that the Jiang family kept assassins and secretly stored armor and bows and crossbows, which was actually not unfair to them.

It can be said that there is no big family in the world that does not maintain a private army!

Now that the relationship had been broken, Jiang Shouye retreated to the back of the room, his face gloomy as he stared intently at Song Xuan and gave the order: "Kill them all!"

Behind him, hundreds of private soldiers also appeared in a black mass, each one wearing armor and holding a spear, with shield bearers in front and spearmen in the back, forming an infantry versus cavalry formation!

Boom boom boom!

The neighing of war horses was heard, and the two armies collided with each other. In an instant, several war horses were pierced by spears and fell in front of the infantry position.

While the two armies were fighting, Song Xuan was not idle either.

But in the dark corner, twelve long swords were unsheathed almost at the same time. The twelve swords flashed with creepy cold light, covering from all directions and stabbing at Song Xuan's vital points.

"Lord be careful!"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed, because at this moment, he realized that among these killers hiding in the dark corners, there was actually an innate-level assassin.

Song Xuan just smiled slightly, and the long sword at his waist was unsheathed with a sharp and short whistling sound. The sword sounded like a dragon's roar, shaking people's hearts.

The first few killers opened their mouths wide in amazement. At this moment, in the last moments of their lives, it seemed as if they saw the sword path they had pursued all their lives.

Even Lu Xiaofeng was shocked at this moment.
