Chapter 237 Murder

After hearing the waiter's explanation, some people started to curse, but fortunately no one took action.

Just curse a few words to express your superiority, as for taking action.

Forget it.

These days, the world is too chaotic, who knows what kind of people will be attracted by cursing.

People in the world of martial arts start from their mouths, and most people who live in the post station travel all over the country, so they naturally understand this truth.

But Sun Lian didn't care about these.

At this moment, he was cold all over, and his eyes were fixed on the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

'When... did you come? '

He shouted wildly in his heart. After the person appeared, a terrifying pressure emerged, which made him feel depressed and wanted to go crazy.

But fortunately, he was with the emperor and had long been accustomed to pressure.

Wiping the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, he bowed his head and clasped his fists to look at the masked man in front of him.

"Sun Lian greets the lord."

He didn't know who was the person to pick him up. The emperor only said that he would wait for a person wearing a blue and white mask at the post station and that he must be polite when he sees him.

Sun Lian's heart was shaken now. He knew that the person in front of him was definitely a peerless master without the emperor's reminder, so he naturally didn't dare to be disrespectful.

The man with the blue and white mask looked at Sun Lian carefully, nodded, and said calmly.

"Lord Sun."

"I am not worthy of your address, lord. Just call me Little Sun."

Sun Lian said decisively.

The masked man didn't insist, nodded to show that he understood, and then sat in the first seat naturally.

"How did the emperor tell us to enter the capital?"

'Emperor? '

For Emperor Shenzong, this was not a very polite address.

If it was in the palace or even Qiandu, Sun Lian would definitely scold or even punish him.

But Sun Lian seemed not to hear it at this moment, and responded carefully.

"Your Majesty asked us to go to the capital with the emperor's imperial guards. The imperial guards are the people of Tie Hou and are trustworthy."

Sun Lian said in a low voice.

Since Ming Xiaochen has put Tie Kuang in prison, he naturally has to take back his military power, and the imperial guards are one of them.

Xu Guang nodded without expressing any opinion.

Sun Lian breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the masked man in front of him was dissatisfied with the emperor's plan and proposed to change it. At that time, he would be most embarrassed.

...

...

Since Xu Guang decided to help the emperor, he would naturally not change the emperor's plan at will.

The plan of Emperor Shenzong did not conflict with his rescue of Tie Kuang, and he had promised the emperor that he would help him kill Ming Xiaochen.

Since this is the case, it is not a bad idea to give the emperor a face.

The imperial guards entering the city will not alarm anyone in the majestic imperial city of Qiandu. The people of Qiandu have long been accustomed to it. Qiandu has at least 800 small-scale troops entering the city every year, either to meet the emperor or to meet the regent.

So Xu Guang easily came to Qiandu again.

Under Sun Lian's arrangement, he swaggered into the palace.

Xu Guang met the emperor in the back garden of the palace.

When Emperor Shenzong saw Xu Guang, it was still like the first time they met.

"With the help of Yuan Hou, I will definitely be able to bring the traitor Ming Xiaochen to justice."

Xu Guang smiled and said nothing.

Compared with Tie Kuang, his feelings with the emperor were more pure, and it was a thorough deal.

As long as Ming Xiaochen was killed, the armory would be his.

As for how to kill, if he gave the emperor face, he would listen to his opinion, and if he didn't give face, he could go now.

If Tie Kuang was not still in Ming Xiaochen's hands, Xu Guang would probably have broken into Ming Xiaochen's mansion.

"Your Majesty, you are joking."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Marquis Yuan. With your strength, who in the world dares not to take you seriously? With you by my side, Ming Xiaochen is nothing but a dead bone in a tomb in my eyes!"

Xu Guang frowned, not wanting to continue to be polite with the emperor, and said directly.

"I wonder when your majesty plans to let me kill Ming Xiaochen, and do you have a plan to rescue Marquis Tie?"

The emperor heard the rejection in Xu Guang's tone, and a hint of stiffness appeared in his eyes.

But he still spoke.

"Two days later, it will be the morning court once every ten days. At that time, all officials will attend the court. Please ask Master Xu to kill Ming Xiaochen at that time."

Just because he was unhappy, Marquis Yuan immediately became Master Xu.

The heart of the emperor is really unpredictable.

Xu Guang didn't care about it. What if he was in a high position and had great power? The emperor said something right.

His current strength can be called the best in the world.

Even at the peak of Daqian, the three major sects were respected.

Why?

It was just strength.

Xu Guang didn't care about the emperor's thoughts. As I said, this was just a deal.

After the emperor left, Sun Lian took Xu Guang to a villa behind the back garden. This was the summer resort of the royal family a long time ago. However, as more and more "meritorious officials" appeared in Qiandu, most of the land had been divided out to build mansions for the meritorious officials.

Now there are only about 20 acres of land left, which is already in a semi-abandoned state.

Ming Xiaochen has many tentacles in the palace. It can be seen that the emperor has cleaned up here very carefully, and some places are still a little shabby.

Xu Guang didn't have any objections to this. It was only two or three days. After killing Ming Xiaochen, he had to go to Yujing Mountain to pick up his family and return to Yuancheng.

The world is big, and it is most important to spend the New Year with Ji Xiaolu. This is basically his most important bond in the world.

But the scenery here is really good.

In the huge yard, half is lake and half is flowers, but there are a lot of weeds in the garden.

But because of this, it attracts a lot of small animals.

Although it is in the city, it feels like being in a wilderness wonderland.

In the distance, a large white bird flapped its wings and flew over the lake, gently touching the water surface. The slender red beak held a fish that was shining in the sun, then rose and flew away.

Under the pavilion at the edge of the villa, Xu Guang stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him was a stone table.

"I didn't expect that Qian Cheng would be the famous Xu Guang."

Princess Chang looked at Xu Guang's back with complicated eyes and said softly.

Xu Guang turned slowly, "Princess, you are joking. Qian Cheng is dead. Xu is just Xu Guang and will only be Xu Guang."

His words were a little confusing to outsiders.

But Princess Chang's eyes darkened.

In order not to go to Haizhou, she had already planned to accept Qian Cheng. She had only met Qian Cheng once and knew more about him from others.

He has a good temper and is very protective of his shortcomings, but he is a little ugly.

A perfect husband candidate.

Now that Qian Cheng has been replaced by Xu Guang, who is handsome and handsome, he should be even more perfect.

But obviously, Xu Guang has no idea of ​​becoming Qian Cheng again.

Princess Chang forced a laugh, "Xu Zhenren is indeed a great man in the world, and his words are very philosophical. No wonder my father respects you so much."

Xu Guang looked at Princess Chang and sighed heavily.

"Since the emperor has told the princess about me, the princess should know the agreement between me and the emperor. In the mortal world, you can do whatever you want with Xu's protection."

Changjun's dim eyes regained color, and she looked at Xu Guang with some surprise.

This promise seemed more important than what her father said, which was just the last life-saving promise.

"Thank you, Master Xu."

Xu Guang shook his head and said softly in a cold tone.

"This is just part of the deal between Xu and the emperor."

Changjun's smile froze. She didn't really like Xu Guang, but she had the filter of Qian Cheng in the past, and everyone, including Tie Mei, told her for sure that Qian Cheng would marry her as long as she wanted.

The combination of many factors made her subconsciously feel that Qian Cheng should be her future husband.

Qian Cheng was Xu Guang, and Xu Guang's cold words at this moment undoubtedly made Princess Changjun feel uncomfortable.

But she still nodded in the face of Xu Guang's gaze.

"I know, Master Xu, please rest assured. I and my two sisters will never do anything to embarrass Master Xu."

Xu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly. He had met two of the three princesses, Liyang and Changjun.

They all seemed very sensible, not the kind of people who would look for trouble.

When Changjun was about to leave, he suddenly asked.

"May I ask Master Xu, if I were Tiemei, would Xu Guang still be just Xu Guang?"

Xu Guang smiled.

"Of course."

With his cultivation reaching this point today, he has little time left in the world. He doesn't want to cause unnecessary emotional debts, so he won't be ambiguous.

When it comes to emotions, be straightforward.

"It's a pity that Sister Mei'er..."

When Changjun said this, the figure had already gone away.

Xu Guang was silent for a moment, turned back to the courtyard, and began to regulate his own strength and body.

Ming Xiaochen is a big enemy. With the record of defeating Qingfengzi, Xu Guang is confident in himself, but he will not underestimate him.

He immediately sat cross-legged in the pavilion, combing his internal strength and spiritual inspiration.

…

…

Two days later.

In the Zhengqian Hall of the Daqian Palace.

Amid the cheers of the emperor, Emperor Shenzong arrived late, and under the respectful attitude of the civil and military officials, he sat on the cold dragon throne that symbolized the emperor.

And the regent Ming Xiaochen sat at the bottom of the dragon throne.

This was the first time Xu Guang saw Ming Xiaochen. His temperament looked very elegant, but who would have thought that he was a top-notch master in the world.

If it weren't for Shi Zhongyu and Zhang Qing, he might have been qualified to be the best in the world.

Xu Guang sat on the roof, looking at everything in the hall indifferently.

"Everyone, please stand up."

After Emperor Shenzong sat down, he said softly, and then waved his hand.

The eunuch Sun Lian beside him understood and coughed lightly.

"The 36th Grand Court Meeting of the 22nd year of the Great Qian Divine Sect begins!"

"The 36th Grand Court Meeting of the 22nd year of the Great Qian Divine Sect begins!"

For a while, starting with Sun Lian, the voice spread outside the palace, and then the eunuchs outside the palace continued to announce.

Until the voice spread outside the palace.

The momentum was so great that Xu Guang had to marvel.

This scene was considered to be the ultimate display of the royal majesty.

Daqian had been established for 600 years, and the etiquette was complicated and the majesty was grand. Even Emperor Shenzong, who seemed to be the last emperor, was still the same.

"Your Majesty has ordered that all ministers can report anything."

As soon as Sun Lian finished speaking, someone stood up.

"I, the Minister of Personnel Huo Xian, have something to report."

An old man, holding a white elephant jade scepter, walked out of the crowd and said loudly.

"Approved!"

Emperor Shenzong said majestically.

"Your Majesty, Huo Xianqi, there is a demon named Xu Guang in Youzhou, who has killed innocent people, framed loyal people, colluded with rebels, formed a clique for personal gain, and conspired to rebel. However, Tie Hou Tie Kuang colluded with the traitor Xu Guang and stole the secret martial arts of Qiandu. He did not know the emperor's grace and committed indiscriminate killings in Qiandu. Your Majesty, I ask you to kill Tie Kuang and the demon Xu Guang to rectify the emperor's power."

Huo Xian seemed to be well prepared. As Ming Xiaochen's confidant, he was obviously prompted by Ming Xiaochen.

A cold light flashed in Emperor Shenzong's eyes. Since ancient times, personnel power has been crucial in imperial power.

No one would follow an emperor who has no power to get closer to them.

"Mr. Huo has made this report today, and it is obvious that he has a plan in mind. Why don't you tell us how to kill Xu Guang in Youzhou?"

Huo Xian came prepared, so he was naturally not timid. He looked up and looked around, and his eyes collided with Ming Xiaochen's for a moment.

Then he bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to execute Tie Kuang at the beginning of spring!"

"Marquis Tie is a wise minister of the day. How can he be executed so easily!"

The emperor immediately refuted.

Huo Xian stood up straight and looked at everyone around him with contempt.

"Wise minister? Tie Kuang privately set up land and raised tens of thousands of slaves. The Tie family occupied tens of thousands of acres of good land and had hundreds of thousands of dogs and horses. Which of these expenses should be worthy of a first-class marquis? Your Majesty calls him a wise minister, but I think it's absurd!

Qian Cheng deceived Tie Kuang, and Tie Kuang was useless, but Your Majesty was deceived by Tie Kuang. My Great Qian has hundreds of thousands of officials. Is there anyone who dares to tell Your Majesty?"

After hearing Huo Xian's words, Emperor Shenzong narrowed his eyes, turned a blind eye to the messy hall, and glanced at Ming Xiaochen who was facing away from him with a barely detectable look.

"According to Lord Huo, are all the officials of Daqian a bunch of good-for-nothings? Are you, Lord Huo, the only one who is a loyal, good, and wise minister? Is the Regent not as good as you, Huo Xian, or is the Western King not as good as you, or are the officials of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites not as good as you?"

The emperor's words were deafening at the end.

Everyone could hear the emperor's anger, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

"How can you, Huo Xian, compare to such a wise man? You, Huo Xian, are the Minister of Personnel, commanding all officials, and all officials have failed to supervise. Have you ever reported this to me? Your report today clearly harbors evil intentions!"

Xu Guang looked at this scene in silence.

He didn't understand.

It has come to this point, why do you have to say so much.

Just kill people directly.

Is it really so important to take the initiative in a verbal confrontation?

He came from a humble background in both lives, so of course he couldn't understand the current situation.

He felt that in this huge Zhengqian Hall, everyone was an actor, wearing a heavy mask that could be taken off at any time, but underneath was another mask.

The so-called anger of the emperor was also a mask of performance.

But at this moment, Ming Xiaochen suddenly stood up and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise, but Tie Kuang colluded with the demon Xu Guang, which is absolutely true and the evidence is irrefutable. Xu Guang is a great threat to our Daqian. I ask your Majesty to order the execution of Xu Guang!"

He finished speaking.

All the people who belonged to Ming Xiaochen knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, please order the execution of Xu Guang."

The emperor looked calm, as if he had accidentally pushed the pen holder on the table away.

Bang.

It landed with a bang.

This performance should be over.

Xu Guang smiled at the corner of his mouth. It was really good to be ordered to be executed by hundreds of people.

I don't know what it feels like to sit on the dragon chair and watch the performance below?

He was tired of the show and stood up.

Suddenly he stopped.
