Seeing that Bing Yin Wei had been saved by Xuan Zhangming, Yang An heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Commander Xuan, I've made an oath before. Naturally, I'll place justice before family!"
Xuan Zhangming laughed, "Is that so? But I haven't finished my questions. "
Yang An frowned as he felt that something was amiss. He then asked, "I've already found out that this bastard was the one who committed treason and killed the Third Prince. What else do you have to ask?"
Xuan Zhangming's smile didn't fade as he turned his head to look at Bing Yin Wei, "Little kid, how did you get that jade pendant?"
Yang An didn't know what kind of jade pendant it was and his heart was filled with suspicion.
Bing Yin Wei pulled out the Nine-Five Divine Pendant from his neck and hurriedly replied, "In reply to your excellency, grandfather gave it to me not long ago. He asked me to refine this jade pendant and said that it would protect me!"
Although Yang An didn't know why Xuan Zhangming was asking about this, he felt that something was amiss and hurriedly replied, "Bastard, when did I give you such a jade pendant? When did I say something like that? "
Looking at the enraged Yang An, Xuan Zhangming turned to look at the Fire Emperor. The Fire Emperor looked over as well.
"Your Majesty, Yang An doesn't know where this jade pendant came from and yet he refuses to admit it. There's something fishy about this!" Xuan Zhangming spoke out.
The Fire Emperor nodded his head, "That's right. This jade pendant wasn't obtained by Yang An. It was obtained by the person who added fuel to the fire! He wanted to frame Yang An for what happened to Imperial Concubine Hua. Hence, he disguised himself as Yang An and gave the jade pendant to Bing Yin Wei. "
"That's what I thought as well. Your Majesty, how should we deal with this?" Xuan Zhangming asked.
The Fire Emperor gritted his teeth and replied, "Yang An can't be touched for now. Let's put this matter aside for now. I have my own plans."
Xuan Zhangming's expression didn't change as he smiled at Yang An, "Your excellency Yang, there's no need to be angry. I was just casually asking him."
As he spoke, Xuan Zhangming released Bing Yin Wei and walked to the right of the Fire Emperor.
Feng Guang walked out, "Your excellency Yang, didn't you want to kill him to silence him? No, didn't you want to put justice before family?"
Yang An glared at Feng Guang. Previously, he had had to bear with the pain. But after Xuan Zhangming, how could he bear to kill him? For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
The Fire Emperor placed his hands behind his back and spoke out, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Even if we kill them, the Third Prince cannot be brought back to life. Let's throw them into jail!"
"Official Yang, do you have any objections?" The Fire Emperor asked.
Yang An naturally knew that the Fire Emperor was giving him face and hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Prime Minister Mansion has done such a heart-wrenching thing. In my opinion, Bing Wumou should be stripped of her position as Prime Minister! "
The Fire Emperor squinted his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly. 'That sly old fox. He knew that Bing Wumou was loyal to me and immediately used this opportunity to cripple him!'
After a moment of silence, the Fire Emperor nodded his head and said, "That's right. Bing Wumou can't bear such a heavy responsibility!"
As he spoke, the Fire Emperor turned his gaze towards Feng Guang and asked in a low voice, "Feng Guang, do you admit to your crimes?"
As the captain of the Royal Guards, Feng Guang was also the commander. At this moment, he was pleasantly surprised that he had made a great contribution. Who would have thought that His Majesty would suddenly oppose him? He hurriedly knelt down and said nervously, "Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"
"Hmph! Feng Guang, I ordered you to investigate the case of Imperial Concubine Hua within half a year. What's the result? "The Fire Emperor asked angrily.
Feng Guang was taken aback. Didn't you say one year? However, he didn't dare to refute and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Hmph! Feng Guang, since the establishment of the Royal Guards, nothing like this has ever happened. What use do I have for the Royal Guards? From today onwards, the Royal Guards will be disbanded and all of you will join the Fire God Army! "The Fire Emperor said angrily.
The Fire Emperor was enraged and no one dared to speak. Everyone hurriedly knelt down and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Outside the palace, Tensei frowned. The Royal Guards had clearly made a great contribution and yet they were disbanded and joined the Fire God Army. Why?
Besides Xuan Zhang Ming and the Fire Emperor, no one else knew the reason.
Everyone dispersed. Yang Rouyue and Bing Yin had been thrown into the Heavenly Prison and couldn't be released. Being in the Heavenly Prison was a hundred times worse than death.
Within the Royal Guards' camp, everyone had bitter expressions on their faces. The Fire Emperor's words had caused the Royal Guards to be disbanded!
"We've sworn our loyalty to the Emperor. How could this happen?" Ye Qianzhong had a bitter expression on his face as he sat cross-legged in the courtyard.
Around him, the tenth squad had bitter expressions on their faces as well. "That's right. Eh? Captain, the Commander is here! "
From afar, Xuan Zhang Ming was smiling as he walked towards them at a steady pace.
"Greetings to the Commander!" The tenth squad hurriedly bowed.
Xuan Zhang Ming waved his hands and smiled, "You're about to join the Fire God Army. How do you feel?"
The Fire God Army was naturally the Fire Emperor's Army. There was no difference between the two names. Hearing this, everyone remained silent. They had been part of the Royal Guards for too long. Now that the Royal Guards were disbanded and joined the Fire God Army, how could they feel good?
Xuan Zhang Ming smiled, "I've already briefed the other squads. Now it's just you guys!"
"Commander, please enlighten us!" Ye Qianzhong said.
Seeing Ye Qianzhong's sorrowful expression, Xuan Zhang Ming laughed, "Haha, do you really think that the Emperor disbanded the Royal Guards because of that? That's wrong. The reason why he did so is because he has a very important task for you guys to do! "
Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up, including Tensei. Tensei was curious. Why did the Fire Emperor want the Royal Guards to join the Fire God Army?
Amidst everyone's surprise and suspicion, the smile on Xuan Zhang Ming's face deepened, "In the Fire God Army, more than half of the high-ranking officers are from the Yang family. Even if they aren't, many of them have already pledged allegiance to the Yang family. Now, you guys know what to do, right?"
Ye Qianzhong's eyes lit up, "So that's how it is. Commander Xuan, we understand. When we go to the Fire God Army, our tenth squad will do our best to assassinate the high-ranking officers of the Yang family."
"Haha, smart. Whether it's assassination or framing, we have to get rid of the high-ranking officers of the Yang family as soon as possible and replace them with people who are loyal to the Emperor." The smile on Xuan Zhang Ming's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a serious expression. This matter was of utmost importance!
In the entire Imperial City, only the Royal Guards could do such a thing. After all, they were the Emperor's personal guards and they were all trustworthy people.
"You guys will go to the southeast side. That's where the tenth army of the Fire God Army is. There are three hundred thousand soldiers and hundreds of high-ranking officers. Most of them are from the Yang family. It's up to you guys!" Xuan Zhang Ming finished speaking and turned to leave.
Tensei glanced at Xuan Zhang Ming's back. He wasn't interested in this matter at all. Now that he had saved Bing Ling's mother and the Prime Minister's Mansion was done for, it was time for him to take the Heaven Inscription Tablet and leave to find the Buried Gods Region that the Sixth Ancestor mentioned.
Although his cultivation was still far from the Divine King realm, he didn't know when he would find the Buried Gods Region. It was never wrong to plan ahead.
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a notification sounded in Tensei's mind.
