Chapter 694 The Seizure of Power Begins

There are four major legions in Shanyue, two of which are stationed at the border with the barbarians, and these two legions have not been infiltrated by Confucian scholars. It is not that the Confucian sects do not want to, but they do not have the ability.

As for the remaining two legions, they are the Kuangsha Legion and the Bloody Hand Legion. These two legions were originally very capable. Unfortunately, their commander was framed by that old man Ye Jingsheng and is now being imprisoned in prison. .

The Confucian prison was set up at the southern end of Shanyue City and was guarded by Ye Jingsheng's eldest disciple Zhao Hongyu. He was a despicable and insidious villain who had the same character as his master.

Now he is sitting in the gatehouse of the prison, holding a beautiful woman in his arms. This woman is Zheng Rao, the daughter of the city's southern garrison whose home was newly confiscated.

It was because he fell in love with this woman that he framed her father, and then used her father's life in prison as a threat to force her to submit to him.

He lifted Zheng Rao's chin with his hand and said, "Hurry up and give me a smile. If your boss has such a dead face, your father's life in this prison will not be easy."

Zheng Rao said with a look of sorrow and anger: "You are still Ye Daru's disciple, how could you do such a thing? You have read so many sage books in vain."

While Zhao Hongyu raised and lowered his hands, he said shamelessly: "Haven't you ever heard someone say that every time a person slaughters dogs in a righteous way, he will be a scholar with a bad heart?

The more educated a person is, the worse he is, because the more he learns, the more enlightened his mind will be, and naturally he will have more desires. If you come up with all kinds of tricks, it will harm you, and others will say good things.

Look at these treacherous ministers since ancient times. Which one of them is not knowledgeable and well-spoken? They are also scholars who have read poetry and books. They are the ones who have brought disaster to the country and the people.

You are like my master, who is a world-famous scholar, but he has done so many dirty things, and he has harmed a lot of people.

If one day he is cut to pieces by thousands of people, even if it is considered a minor blow, then he has deceived the world and stolen his reputation, but in the end he is still admired by all people. This is the way of the world, so just accept your fate! "

A smile suddenly appeared on Zheng Rao's face and he said, "If you say that, I'll be relieved. I won't have any psychological burden if I kill you."

While she was talking, a short blade slipped out of her sleeve. No one knew when the knife was hidden because she was searched when she came in.

Zhao Hongyu was completely unprepared and was directly pierced through the chest by the knife. However, he had some cultivation skills and immediately hit Zheng Rao directly on the head with a double wind blow through his ears.

In fact, that woman didn't have much ability, and he beat her brains to pieces. But this girl was also a cruel person. When she was about to die, she pulled her hand down hard and disembowelled him.

The noise inside attracted the attention of people outside. As soon as the two guards walked in, they saw a figure falling from the sky. With a knife in his hand, he chopped off their heads.

Then many people rushed in from the outside. Before the guards had time to react, they were knocked to the ground one after another. The leader yelled: "Who are you? You dare to attack the Confucian prison."

The people who rushed in were seen stepping out of the way, and a young man wearing a three-clawed golden dragon robe walked in. It was Liu Keru, the king of Shanyue.

He said in a deep voice: "Who are you Confucian sect? You actually dare to set up a private prison here to frame the loyal people of our Luoyue Empire. You are simply worthy of death. Kill me!"

The people he led immediately shouted and rushed forward one after another. They raised and lowered their knives mercilessly, allowing those people to kill directly. There was a wailing sound for a while.

He led people directly to the depths of the prison and saw two burly men imprisoned here. However, it was obvious that these two men had been tortured a lot and their bodies were scarred.

These two people were Gu Jiyuan, the commander of the Kuangsha Legion, and Mou Xinzhong, the commander of the Blood Hand Legion. When they heard the noise outside, they dragged their handcuffs and shackles and looked outside.

Liu Keru quickly came to the prison, waved his hand instead of a knife, and directly cut the arm-thick chain at the door of the prison into two pieces.

The two people's eyes lit up. It seemed that this prince was not as unbearable as the legend said. At least his skills were quite good and he should not be inferior to the two of them.

Liu Keru took a step forward and said: "In the past, because the Confucian sect was powerful and I was still young, I had to wrong you two. I hereby apologize to you."

At this time, someone had already come forward to free the two of them, and the two of them quickly said: "The prince said that he wanted to kill us, and it is not the fault of that old man Ye Jingsheng.

This is not because he relied on his old age and bullied the young prince. How could such a thing happen? Now that the prince has fought back strongly, we are really lucky. "

Liu Keru also pretended to be sad and indignant and said: "I have always cared about him being my grandfather, so I tolerated him everywhere, but I didn't expect that he would get worse, so I had to kill my relatives for justice.

Now that he is mobilizing the army privately for evil purposes, I hope you two can kill all the worms in the army, and then pacify the soldiers so that no trouble will occur. "

Gu Jiyuan immediately smiled and said: "Although the two of us are imprisoned here, how can those scornful scholars know how to train soldiers? The army is still in the hands of our old troops.

When the two of us go back now, as long as we raise our arms and raise our arms, we will be able to take control of the troops immediately. By then, even if those sour scholars want to mobilize a single soldier, it will be difficult for them to do so. "

A cold light flashed slightly in Liu Keru's eyes. He could not accept such an army. The army could only be commanded by him alone, rather than becoming the private property of other generals.

Mou Xinzhong was keenly aware of the changes in front of him and was shocked. He quickly said: "Lao Gu is a straightforward person. The legion is the legion of the Luoyue Empire. The two of us are also subordinates of the prince. We will be loyal to the prince in this life. If there is any disloyalty, he will die under random arrows."

Gu Jiyuan was too excited just now. When he heard Mou Xinzhong say this, he immediately knew that something was wrong. At the same time, he also knew that he had violated a royal taboo.

He also quickly lowered his head and said: "The old minister was also arrogant just now, but this was just for those slanderous scholars! We have always been loyal to the royal family, and God can tell us from this heart. I will definitely follow the prince to death in the future. If there is any second-guessing, I will be punished. Ten thousand horses trampled him to death.”

Liu Keru's face turned from dark to clear when he saw the two of them making a solemn oath, and he said with a smile: "Two old generals, what are you talking about? Don't I still trust you? Please hurry up and take over the troops. Bar!"
