"ah!!"
As Yan Zifei's head fell to the ground, a burst of screams suddenly sounded in the lobby.
Lu Zhuangzhi looked at the head that rolled down in front of him in shock. His eyes widened and he stared intently. His whole body was extremely stiff and speechless.
Feng Xun reacted first. He raised his head and looked at the man wielding the knife.
The knife wielder holds a sharp blade and maintains a beheading posture.
The next moment, he quickly put away the knife, his movements were neat and smooth.
That man was the soldier from the warrior camp who came with Yan Zifei. Almost all of them wore masks, and it was impossible to tell who was who. But after he used the knife, the other warriors pointed their weapons at those present.
Everyone.
Liu Taozi sat where he was. Even though he encountered such a situation, his expression remained the same without any change.
But everyone around him was stunned at this moment.
Gao Yanzong's eyes widened, Yao Xiong opened his mouth wide, and Kou Liu was dumbfounded.
Where have these people seen such a scene??
This angel is holding a scepter, which represents the identity of the emperor. Beheading him with one sword is not beheading an angel, this is beheading the emperor.
Amid the stunned looks on everyone's face, Feng Xun calmed down and said, "Rebellion. Rebellion."
Lu Zhuangzhi raised his head stiffly, his throat rolling up and down, "What are you doing? You killed the wrong person, you killed the wrong person!"
Liu Taozhi looked at the head on the ground coldly, kicked Yan Zifei's body away, and then took out an edict from his arms.
"Your Majesty has an edict!!"
At this moment, everyone present stood up and knelt down towards him.
Liu Taozhi read loudly: "Prime Minister Yang Min, and his followers, used their power to create chaos, despised Your Majesty, and persecuted loyal people. Their crimes are worthy of death!!"
"We specially order Ande Wang Yanzong to lead the right guard general and lead the Dingzhou army to immediately station in the Sishui camp and wait for the edict!!"
"Anyone who disobeys in the state will be punished as Yang Min and rebelled against the party! Kill him first and then punish him!!"
After Liu Taozhi finished reading, he handed the edict in his hand to Gao Yanzong in front of him.
Gao Yanzong stood up with a confused look on his face, took the edict, and read it several times. Then he threw his head back and laughed, laughing unscrupulously.
He held the edict and slowly looked at the people in the room. At this moment, Gao Yanzong's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Lu Zhuangzhi, Feng Xun and everyone else's faces were pale at this moment.
Lu Zhuangzhi looked at the king in astonishment, "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"
Feng Xun had realized what had happened, and he closed his eyes in despair.
The faces of the other scholars had different expressions. Some people shouted: "Impossible, how could Mr. Yang be like this?! This is obviously a frame-up!!"
"Pfft!"
Before he could finish his words, a spear passed through his belly. The warrior killed him neatly and drew his weapon.
For a moment, the entire lobby was silent.
Gao Yanzong slowly walked up to Lu Zhuangzhi, his expression extremely ugly.
"Since I took office, I have obeyed your advice and never humiliated you. Why would you betray me?!"
Lu Zhuangzhi shook his head. At this moment, he seemed to have completely lost his fear and became extra calm than before. He raised his head and looked at Gao Yanzong, "This is a helpless move."
He opened his mouth and explained: "My father is a well-known scholar in the world. He taught Mao poetry in the Liu family. I learned from him. If I don't stand up now, both father and son will be ruined."
Hearing this frank explanation, Gao Yanzong was stunned. He wanted to get angry but didn't know what to say. He looked at Feng Xun again, "What about you? After taking office, I will entrust you with all major affairs inside and outside the state.
You handle it, and everyone praises you and says you did a good job. You don’t deal with poetry, do you? Why do you want to rebel?!"
Feng Xun looked at him calmly, "If you don't come forward, you will be complicit with the king. The reputation you have cultivated for many years will be destroyed in one day. I have no choice but to raise my voice."
Gao Yanzong sneered, "Okay, okay, after all, it's all for fame!!"
"The voice of the common people who receive food outside the government office is too low to determine your reputation, but those who are dominating and dominating can, right? They praise you a few times, you are capable ministers and officials. For these, you can even go to
die!"
"Okay, I'll help you!!"
Gao Yanzong suddenly looked at Liu Taozhi beside him and asked in a low voice: "I can kill officials now, right?"
Liu Taozhi nodded.
Gao Yanzong then said angrily: "Come here, pull these two people out and behead them!!"
Liu Taozi slowly stood up and looked at everyone present, "Your Majesty, the government and the public are in chaos right now. We are going to lead our troops out, leaving the state and county empty. These people are Yang's comrades. If you treat me lightly, after we go out
, will definitely cause chaos."
Gao Yanzong was stunned and shouted again: "Come here, arrest these people and execute them!!"
There was a sudden burst of crying and howling in the lobby.
"Your Majesty!!! Spare your life!!"
"Your Majesty!! I got here by mistake!!"
"Liu Taozi!! You must die a happy death!!"
The crowd roared, but it was of no use. The warriors began to arrest. In front of these elites, the scholars and nobles had almost no chance to fight back. They were arrested one after another and taken out one by one. Gao Yanzong looked at their different actions.
With a look on his face, he raised his head and laughed proudly.
After a while, the huge lobby was empty.
Only Gao Yanzong, the warrior camp, and Liu Taozi's followers were left.
Gao Yanzong only reacted at this moment. He quickly looked at Liu Taozi and said, "Too many county and county officials have died in this state. There won't be any problems, right?"
Liu Taozi shook his head calmly, "It would be a good thing for officials like them to die. Not all officials in the prefectures and counties are like them. Those who have not participated in the rebellion will naturally manage the place well, Your Majesty."
Don’t worry.”
Gao Yanzong rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement.
I can finally lead the troops and go on an expedition, but I don’t know if I can fight a war!
Gao Yanzong had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He looked at Liu Taozhi on the side and looked at his weird mask, "This gentleman? Can this mask be taken off?"
Liu Taozhi saluted Gao Yanzong, "Your Majesty, my subordinate looks ugly and it is inconvenient to take it off."
Gao Yanzong was stunned for a moment, "Oh, it's injured, right? Forget it. However, your mask is quite deceptive. Can you give me one?"
"good."
"However, I also ask the king to send troops as soon as possible and make arrangements."
Gao Yanzong waved his hand, "Okay, I will send troops right away."
He glanced at Liu Taozi and suddenly asked, "Can I appoint my own deputy general?"
"Can."
"Hahaha, that's great!"
Gao Yanzong suddenly put his hands on his hips and made a mighty gesture, "I have ordered that Liu Taozi, the captain of Boling County, be appointed as the general of the army guard!!"
The masked soldier shook, and his voice was not very calm, "Your Majesty, you cannot appoint military positions higher than your own."
"Ah? Oh, high?"
"Higher."
"Then let Liu Taozi be General Long Xiang!!"
"Your Majesty."
"What happened again??"
"Military positions above the eighth rank must be personally appointed by the temple."
Gao Yanzong was helpless and pondered for a moment, "I have specially ordered Liu Taozi to lead General Hu Fen!! As my deputy general, he will command the Dingzhou soldiers!!"
Liu Taozi stepped forward and said, "The General's order!"
This time, the masked soldier was speechless and took a few steps back, pretending that he saw and heard nothing.
Gao Yanzong couldn't wait. He hurriedly asked someone to bring him a book and pen, quickly filled it out, and then stamped his seal, for fear that the soldier would stop him.
"Okay, brother, General Liu!! Please send someone to inform the five counties and counties now! Let them each lead the troops of the counties and come to Zhending Waijunchang!!"
"If the time is not enough and the military aircraft is delayed, we will be dealt with according to military law!!"
"only!!"
Liu Taozi led the people away in a hurry, but Gao Yanzong stayed where he was excitedly.
Yao Xiong, Kou Liu and others followed him. As soon as he walked out, Yao Xiong couldn't help but said: "Brother! Congratulations! Congratulations!"
"Now he is the general!"
Kou Liu had a straight face, with some sadness in his brows, "Xiang Yang is actually quite good."
Yao Xiong glared at him, "Very good? Don't forget, he sent people to kill us just now!! Where are you from?"
Just as they were walking out, two warriors suddenly stopped them.
The leader looked at Liu Taozi and his face. He was stunned for a long time and then said: "This gentleman, my general asks you to stay and discuss anything with you."
Liu Taozi looked at Yao Xiong and others, "You go ahead and do it, don't wait for me."
"only!!"
Liu Taozi was taken to an ordinary house next door.
This is the courtyard used by the state to accommodate distinguished guests. It is quite luxurious, but it is empty at the moment. Two soldiers are guarding the door. Liu Taozi is standing in the courtyard, looking around.
"Mr. Liu has done a great job!"
Suddenly a familiar voice came from outside the door.
The masked soldier strode into the courtyard. He turned back to look at the two soldiers, who hurriedly closed the door.
There were only two of them left in the courtyard.
Liu Taozhi took off his mask, and his beard had grown a lot, making him look more rugged. He slowly walked to Liu Taozi, pacing back and forth around him, looking at him.
Liu Taozi still looked ahead.
"Is mother okay?"
"good."
"Is Xiao Wu okay?"
"Not dead."
Liu Taozhi sneered, "Don't worry about them, let's talk about you first. Look at what you did in Cheng'an County, Liyang County, and Dingzhou. The people you killed were heads rolling and blood flowing like rivers. Lu Zhuangzhi really didn't say anything.
Wrong, cruel, cruel, cold-blooded!"
"This time, if King Ping Qin hadn't intervened, what would you have done? Kill officials and rebel?"
Liu Taozi looked calm, "It's still unknown."
Liu Taozhi was furious. His face was red and his eyes were murderous. He grabbed Tao Zi's collar and said, "I hate you looking like this! Do you think you are powerful?"
"You just have better luck. If it weren't for the chaos in the temple's political affairs, you would have been chopped up and fed to the fishes long ago!!!"
Liu Taozi raised her head, her face still had the same expression.
Liu Taozhi became even more angry, "How could I teach you such a thing? You don't know the etiquette of father and son, you have no etiquette of a king and his ministers, you have no father and no king, you are lawless and only know how to cause trouble for me."
Liu Taozi's eyes finally flashed with ferocity, and he pulled Liu Taozhi's hand away.
"I'm different from you"
"Even if I want to be chopped into pieces, I still have to open my mouth and take a big bite!!"
"I!!"
Liu Taozhi started to punch him.
Outside the door, the soldiers heard the sounds of fierce fighting, rolling, and flying dust, but they didn't even dare to look back. They just looked straight ahead. For some reason, these soldiers who were originally fierce and fierce
, at this moment, he actually became a little timid and well-behaved.
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Taozhi pushed open the door, with a mask on his face, called the two of them, and walked quickly away.
Later, Liu Taozi also walked out of the door. There were no injuries on his body and he was safe and sound.
Liu Taozhi led the soldiers to leave quickly. His mission was very simple. He came here to deliver the edict, kill the swallow fee, and then return to Yecheng.
As he rode the horse, Liu Taozhi said nothing, but his hand holding the reins trembled slightly.
He lowered his head and murmured in a low voice: "This guy is getting stronger and stronger."
Zhending has put the entire city on alert at this moment, and people are not allowed to go out.
Troops from all directions gathered here, preparing to go on the road together.
General Hufen Liu Taozi was responsible for the placement of troops in various counties. The large campus outside Zhending was obviously unable to accommodate an army of this size, so it could only be temporarily expanded around it.
Gao Yanzong was wearing armor and riding a tall horse. He stood on a high slope and stared at the school ground below. There were huge crowds of people inside and outside the school ground, which was extremely lively.
Liu Taozi was standing next to him.
"Brother!"
Gao Yanzong proudly raised his riding whip and pointed at the school field in the distance, "With these people, can we conquer Yecheng?"
"cannot."
Liu Taozi did not give him any face, and said: "Except for the king's personal entourage and the soldiers from Boling County, the other armies from all over the country are vulnerable. After this forced march, 10% of the troops were scattered, and the rest
When we arrived, everything was in chaos."
Liu Taozi also pointed to the school grounds and asked Gao Yanzong to follow him.
Sure enough, the school grounds were in chaos at this moment. A large number of troops gathered together, and it was impossible to tell who belonged to whom. The county lieutenants were yelling and sweating profusely, but they could not find where their soldiers were.
Some soldiers bumped into each other a few times and then struggled with each other.
Some soldiers were sneaking over the wall to escape.
Gao Yanzong's proud look disappeared immediately. He was a little disappointed, "Can these people fight against Yang Min's army?"
Liu Taozi said calmly: "I won't fight."
"Why?"
"Because Yang Gong has no army under his command."
"Then why do we still need to be stationed on the front line?"
"Just in case something unexpected happens."
"So cautious?"
"So cautious."
Gao Yanzong was greatly disappointed. He thought he could finally fight a real war. Who would have thought that in the end he would just pretend to be there, and it turned out that he just took people there for a walk, and then went back after the people in Yecheng finished the matter?
He took off his headgear, let out a long sigh, and looked at Liu Taozi lonely.
"Brother, I'll leave these people to you. I'll go back and rest. Call me when you go out for battle."
"only."
Liu Taozi did not persuade Gao Yanzong any more. Gao Yanzong turned and left, but Liu Taozi galloped towards the school ground below.
When Liu Taozi rushed to the school gate, Yao Xiong hurriedly walked forward. Yao Xiong looked particularly haggard and sweating profusely. He looked at Liu Taozi guiltily, lowered his head, and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, Liu Taozi's Boling soldiers were already standing outside the school grounds.
These people stood in groups in groups at the entrances and exits inside and outside the school grounds, as well as at the watchtowers.
The county soldier who tried to escape over the wall had already been shot dead by them.
Liu Taozi looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and said loudly: "Silence!!!"
Liu Taozi's voice was extremely loud, and seemed to form an echo in the school grounds. However, it was not enough for soldiers from several counties to hear it. But then, the Boling soldiers stationed in all directions raised their spears and shouted loudly.
Shout: "Silence!!"
"Silence!!"
"Silence!!"
When the Boling soldiers roared, the entire school ground suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked around in fear. Seeing these murderous Boling soldiers, they retreated and bumped into each other, daring not to make a sound.
The faces of those county lieutenants were also full of bitterness at this moment.
Look at these Boling soldiers, and then look at our own army, well, no wonder they can serve as generals.
The Boling soldiers stopped shouting, Liu Taozi rode the blue lion, looked at the many soldiers in front, and then said: "Julu soldiers!! Leave the school grounds!!"
The Boling soldiers shouted again: "Julu soldiers!! Get out of the school grounds!!"
Captain Julu hesitantly rode out and walked to Liu Taozi's side. Liu Taozi motioned for him to pick up the flag. Captain Julu understood and saw that this guy was dressed as a Xianbei man. He held the flag high and stood in the school field.
Outside, some people came out one after another among the soldiers.
Liu Taozi urged again.
The soldiers sped up, and soon, another group of people gathered outside the school grounds.
Liu Taozi looked at Lieutenant Julu, "Take the troops and station them on the left side of the school field, set up a guard, and count the number of people!!"
"only!!"
Lieutenant Julu hurriedly led the people there.
"Changle soldiers!! Leave the school grounds!!"
Liu Taozi called out the noisy soldiers in the school grounds in batches and deployed them to different areas. They set up guard between each other and were not allowed to enter or exit.
In the end, only Chang Shanbing was left in the school grounds.
Everyone counted the number of people, and the county lieutenants came to report with sweating profusely.
"General, I am short of thirty men."
"General, I have sixty-three men missing from my command."
"I am missing one hundred and thirty men under my command."
"General."
Captain Chang Shan came last. He wiped his forehead and said, "I have one hundred and eighty more people under my command."
After verifying their identities, they finally found those few people, and these county soldiers were also confused. They didn't know where they belonged. Several people cried and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty! We are preparing to go farming.
We were arrested and brought here, and we don’t know anything.”
Liu Taozi didn't say much. After placing the various departments separately, he ordered people to prepare meals and began to rest.
Yao Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the chaos in the school finally became clear.
He saluted Liu Taozi and said, "Brother, it's all my fault. I thought it would be enough to give them a good place in the school grounds, but I didn't expect it to be so chaotic."
"No problem."
"I didn't know that before either."
