In the royal palace, Emperor Zhao Zhe was shivering. This Emperor grew up in a sheltered place. He never dreamed that Diwu Qing Rou's methods would be so ruthless and bloody!
He did not leave any leeway!
He did not care about the dignity of the royal family! He did not care about the lives of tens of thousands of people!
He did not care about the military officials! There was only one word for everyone in his hands: Kill!
The imperial concubines were huddled together. Their faces were pale and bloodless. Their bodies were shivering like the wind.
"Prime Minister Diwu has arrived!" A soldier at the door announced with a blood-stained saber. But it sounded like a death knell.
"Diwu Qing Rou has arrived!" Emperor Zhao Zhe's lips turned purple. He said with a trembling voice, "What is he doing here?"
No one answered him. There was only silence.
The sound of steady footsteps was heard. Diwu Qing Rou had a gentle smile on his face. He calmly walked in step by step. He was wearing an ordinary cotton robe, and with his hands clasped behind his back, he walked in leisurely.
His expression was still elegant and calm. It was as if he did not care about anything.
But Zhao Zhe seemed to see a demon from hell covered in blood. His eyes turned white, and he almost fainted.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Diwu Qing Rou greeted.
"Good … Good … Good … Good! Greetings, Prime Minister … " Zhao Zhe tried hard to control his facial muscles. He wanted to show a smile and not lose his temperament. But he did not succeed.
Diwu Qing Rou stood with his hands behind his back. He slightly glanced. A guard quickly brought a chair and placed it behind him. Diwu Qing Rou smiled and sat down gracefully.
"Your Majesty."
"… Hmm?"
"You and I are monarch and minister. It is fate." Diwu Qing Rou smiled and sighed. He said, "I originally thought that we could work together to unify the country and stand at the peak for the world to worship!"
"I have the ability to unify the country, and I also have the courage to do so! It is a pity that Your Majesty does not trust me. "Diwu Qing Rou sighed and looked at Zhao Zhe with pity." Why bother? "
"Yes … It is my fault …" Zhao Zhe did not dare to look at him. He said with a trembling voice.
"Yes, I was really wrong …" Diwu Qing Rou chuckled.
"Back then, you didn't trust me. I had no choice but to find an opportunity on the battlefield to seize power! But I didn't expect that … it would be much better than you giving me military power … "
Diwu Qing Rou slightly narrowed his eyes. It seemed as if he was recalling the tragic battle of those years.
"One exchange after another, one battle after another, I, Diwu Qing Rou, have built up my reputation. I have also accumulated countless military merits. You have no choice but to reward me … And when it reached a certain point, all the commanding power in the front line was in my hands. The overall situation was set!"
"You are no longer able to control me!" Diwu Qing Rou's voice paused for a moment. Then, he continued, "Next, I will go on expeditions to the South and the North. Firstly, I will eradicate my enemies. Secondly, I will be an omnipotent commander in the eyes of the world. Even in the eyes of Iron Dragon City, I was the one who was in control of the battle. For the sake of great military exploits … "
"But he was wrong! What I want is not military merit, but power. " Diwu Qing Rou said casually, "During that time, the entire Great Zhao Empire's twelve million soldiers were deployed to the battlefield! What I want is familiarity with the army. I want the trust of the generals in the army. And I want to have control over each army. "
"Because I know that you won't give me those things! So I can only fight for them myself. "
"Countless ships and traps. Although Iron Cloud's losses were huge, Great Zhao's casualties were much more than Iron Cloud's. Because there were too many people who were personally set up traps and led into Great Zhao's ambush … And those people were loyal to His Majesty and Great Zhao. But because I didn't trust you, I didn't trust those people. So I wanted people who were loyal to me, Diwu Qing Rou …"
Diwu Qing Rou let out a long sigh, "Finally, when the war came to an end and Iron Cloud was weakened, I stopped fighting and returned to the court with unparalleled military merits."
"Everyone thought that I deliberately gave Iron Cloud a chance to breathe. But that was not the case." Diwu Qing Rou said, "Because at that time, I only had the army and no politics. So I had to come back and create a political situation that I could control. And at that time, the royal family's control over the country was still very strong. Even if I destroyed Iron Cloud, it would be easy for you to destroy me. "
"So I couldn't go to war at that time! So I gave up the good situation of the war and came back to manage the rear. " Diwu Qing Rou sighed deeply, "If you could have trusted me at that time, I would have conquered the country for you by now! Unfortunately, you didn't … "
"So now, it's too late for you to deal with me!" Diwu Qing Rou stood up, "The army is the absolute truth! You don't have soldiers or generals. You want to deal with the leader of the army with just a bunch of rotten scholars? Your Majesty, don't you think this is too ridiculous? "
Zhao Zhe's face was pale and his eyes were blank.
"There are many things I want to say. Many things I wanted to say to you many years ago. But today, I found that there is no need to say anything." Diwu Qing Rou said casually, "There is no need to say anything. Maybe my state of mind has changed. But now, I feel that I am somewhat naive. "
Diwu Qing Rou said slowly, "Today, I came to talk to you and demonstrate. But, I was naive."
Diwu Qing Rou stood up after he finished speaking. He didn't even look at Chu Yang as he casually walked out.
Then, Diwu Qing Rou's voice came from outside.
"Seal this place! Let His Majesty live a good life inside. From today onwards, no one is allowed to come out! Until … the end of this war! "
"Yes!"
"After the war, if we win, take His Majesty out to see the good situation. Then, behead him! If we lose, behead him! Exterminate the whole clan! "
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhe heard everything clearly. His eyes rolled and he fainted.
Death regardless of victory or defeat?
This matter was reversed. It had always been the royal family who ordered the extermination of other clans. But now, Diwu Qing Rou directly ordered the extermination of the royal family?
This was really … speechless …
Great Zhao's purge was still in progress. Moreover, looking at Diwu Qing Rou's attitude, it would take a while.
And at this time, the Gu Clan finally contacted Gu Duxing. Return to the clan!
The night before Gu Duxing left, Chu Yang whispered to him for half the night. Finally, he handed him a big bag. This is for Ji Mo, this is for Dong Wushang, and this is for … "
Of course, most of it was … for Mo Qingwu …
In the morning breeze, the two brothers stood facing each other.
"Take care!"
"Take care!"
These two words were said almost at the same time from the two of them.
Then, Gu Duxing looked at Chu Yang silently and deeply. Then, he turned and left without looking back.
Good brother! I met you at a time of danger. You helped me. You gave me hope. You helped me cultivate! You've done everything you can for me!
I will not let you down!
Never!
These words were in Gu Duxing's heart, but he did not say a word.
Chu Yang also did not say anything.
The parting seemed very simple, but both of them knew that the next time they met would be in three days! And not here.
On the third day, the Mo Clan suddenly became lively.
This should not have happened. All the clans were preparing for war in the Cang Lan Battlefront, but the Mo Clan was suddenly as busy as a marketplace.
On this day, Mo Xingchen was discussing matters with the Great Elder in the study. Suddenly, a servant came to report, "Reporting to Clan Master, the two young masters have arrived."
"Young masters?" Mo Xingchen was surprised.
"The two young masters, Ji Zhu and Ji Mo, have arrived."
"Oh, let them wait in the living room. Inform the Grand Duke to welcome the guests."
"Yes, young master Ji Zhu is already drinking tea in the living room. But second young master Ji has gone to the inner residence to find young miss."
"Young miss? What young miss? "Mo Xingchen was surprised.
"It's young miss Xiao Wu." The servant lowered his head and pursed his lips in a hidden place.
"Xiao Wu?!" Mo Xingchen was surprised. "Why is Ji Mo looking for Xiao Wu?"
Inner residence.
"Brother Ji Mo!" Mo Qingwu's surprised cheer resounded through the entire backyard. She practically flew over. "Brother Ji Mo, why are you here? Where's brother Chu Yang? Is he also here? "
"Eh, your brother Chu Yang didn't come." Ji Mo said this sentence and saw Mo Qingwu's small face fall.
He hurriedly hugged her in his arms. He comforted her. "But even though your brother Chu Yang didn't come, he asked me to bring you many good things …"
"Really?" Mo Qingwu opened her eyes wide and became excited. "Where, where?"
"Of course it's true." Eh? Ji Mo suddenly realized that something was wrong. "Why are you so much lighter? Ah! Why are you so thin? "
Second young master Ji was furious. "Who bullied you?!"
"No … no one bullied me." Mo Qingwu's eyes flashed and then dimmed. She raised her face and begged, "Brother Ji Mo, I don't want to live here anymore … can you take me to your house to live?"
"This …" Ji Mo hesitated.
"No!" A voice came. "Xiao Wu, this is your own house. How can you leave?"
The one who spoke was an elder from a branch of the Mo clan. He was under the orders of the clan master to invite Ji Mo to the hall.
"Xiao Wu, what happened?" Ji Mo put down Mo Qingwu and slowly stood up. He looked at the King level master of the Mo clan.
"Second young master Ji, this …" The master hesitated for a while. Seeing Ji Mo's face become more and more ugly, he finally pulled Ji Mo aside and whispered in his ear.
"Three Yin Meridian was destroyed?" Ji Mo was stunned.
After he came to Heavenly Armament Pavilion, Chu Yang didn't tell him about Mo Qingwu's Three Yin Meridian being destroyed.
So he only knew now.
