Under the close surveillance of Zhu Youjian's trusted confidants Meng Guangning, Wan Yuankang, Kou Yanming and others, Yin Youzhao had to hand over the evidence that was extremely unfavorable to Shi Tianyu to Eunuch Huang.

These evidences included some key documents and witness testimonies, which were enough to put Shi Tianyu in an extremely passive position. As Zhu Youjian's confidant, Eunuch Huang would naturally bring these evidences back to the capital and present them to Zhu Youjian.

Once Zhu Youjian learns of this, he will be furious, and the consequences will definitely be extremely unfavorable to Shi Tianyu.

Wan Yuankang, Meng Guangning, Kou Yanming and others then proudly escorted Eunuch Huang back to the capital. Along the way, they were in a good mood and laughed from time to time, as they had already foreseen the tragic fate that Shi Tianyu was about to face.

They seemed to have seen the scenes of Shi Tianyu being demoted, imprisoned, and even executed, and their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.

Along the way, they celebrated with each other as if they had won the final victory in this struggle.

In their imagination, Shi Tianyu's future was full of darkness and despair.

~

However, Yin Youzhao in Tongguan was in deep pain.

Ever since Meng Guangning, Kou Yanming, Wan Yuankang and others left Tongguan, Yin Youzhao has felt an indescribable pain.

He sighed to the sky, collapsed to the ground, vomited blood, and was in extreme pain.

He knew very well that handing over these evidences would be a huge blow to Shi Tianyu and might even endanger his life.

However, the Ming court would also lose an outstanding general, and Yin Youzhao was deeply worried about the future of the Ming court. He knew that Shi Tianyu's departure would bring huge changes to the entire war situation, but he was powerless. At this moment, he felt unprecedented powerlessness and frustration, and could only watch the situation deteriorate step by step.

Yin Youzhao eventually became ill due to his worry and anger. He was bedridden, vomiting blood continuously, and his physical condition deteriorated rapidly. A few days later, Yin Youzhao looked up to the sky and lamented: "God, destroy my Ming Dynasty, destroy my Ming Dynasty!" His voice was full of despair and helplessness, as if he was complaining to the heavens about the injustice of fate to Shi Tianyu. He also felt that he would be abandoned by fate and could no longer make any contribution to the Ming Dynasty court.

In the end, Yin Youzhao passed away in such grief, leaving behind the tragedy of an era.

His departure is not only a personal tragedy, but also a loss to the Ming Dynasty court.

His death also foreshadowed the decline and demise of the Ming Dynasty, which made people sigh that things are unpredictable and fate is unpredictable. His departure made those soldiers loyal to the Ming court feel extremely sad and desperate, and also made those who had evil intentions more unscrupulous.

Deep in Yin Youzhao's heart, he always had a deep sense of loyalty and responsibility to the Ming court.

He once sacrificed his personal interests for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

However, when he saw the corruption and darkness within the Ming Dynasty court and the exclusion and frame-up of those loyal and honest people, his heart was filled with helplessness and pain. He once tried to change all this, but found himself powerless.

In Yin Youzhao's last moments, he still had the future of the Ming Dynasty in mind. He knew that Shi Tianyu's departure would bring a greater crisis to the Ming Dynasty. However, he was powerless and could only wait silently for death on his sickbed.

~

In the early summer, the earth is covered with a layer of vibrant green. All things revive at this time, showing a scene of vitality and prosperity. Shi Tianyu led Wei Xueyan and her son and their subordinates to the north to report to the capital. When they arrived in Luoyang, they suddenly received an urgent message from the "Six-year Phoenix" sent by Helan Minyue.

This information includes important intelligence such as the evidence of Tang Meiling's crime deliberately left behind in Tongguan and Zhu Youjian's reaction.

Shi Tianyu quickly informed generals Luo Baozhong, Tian Lufeng, Cheng Zhengfu and others of the news, and handed the note to them for review, while carefully observing their reactions and facial expressions.

In this incident, Wei Xueyan did not show jealousy because of personal feelings, but was more concerned about Shi Tianyu's career and the safety of Xiliang. With deep concern, she asked Shi Tianyu about his future plans. She knew that this incident might have a significant impact on Shi Tianyu's career, so she was more concerned about his future and the safety of Xiliang.

She hopes that Shi Tianyu can handle this incident properly and ensure the safety and stability of Xiliang.

~

Shi Tianyu responded calmly, "Whoever offends Xiliang will be punished no matter how far away they are. I will continue to report to the capital, and you will need to take a detour back to Xiliang to fight against the imperial army and the various rebel forces. However, this time you must obey the command of Helan Minyue, the leader of Xiliang. She is the real leader of Xiliang."

Then, he continued, "After the war, I will accompany you to the prairie to stop the Lindan tribe from migrating westward, and bring its subjects and troops under your command. I will build a magnificent ice city for you on the prairie and make you an eagle on the prairie."

A smile quickly bloomed on Wei Xueyan's pretty face, and her eyes sparkled with joy. She nodded gently to show her approval and support.

~

With his keen insight, Shi Tianyu quickly captured the complex emotions on the faces of the three generals, Tian Lufeng, Cheng Zhengfu, and Ma Lingtao. Their expressions were changeable, sometimes gloomy, sometimes confused, and occasionally mixed with imperceptible worries. This fluctuation of emotions seemed to silently tell of their inner anxiety and confusion.

At the same time, the expressions of generals such as Luo Baozhong, Zhao Minna and Li Zhenhai were completely different. They were obviously relaxed, as if they had taken off a heavy yoke. From the relaxed expressions on their faces, it can be inferred that they were extremely grateful for being free from the constraints of the court, as if they could finally breathe freely and get rid of the long-term invisible pressure from the court.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu decided to take action. He ordered Tian Lufeng to go to Shanhaiguan to report his situation to Lord Feng.

Afterwards, he gave instructions to Cheng Zhengfu and Ma Lingtao: "Two generals, your property is all in Jiangnan. Go to Jiangnan quickly to sort it out. I will send someone to take you back to Xiliang later."

Tian Lufeng, Cheng Zhengfu and Ma Lingtao were also eager to leave Shi Tianyu, so they immediately followed the order and left.

~

Shi Tianyu then led the soldiers back to the system space. In that mysterious and powerful space, he performed the "Imperial Step" alone, and instantly crossed the endless distance, shrinking the earth into an inch and returning to Xiliang, returning to the thousand-year-old Xuanbing City, returning to his warm home, and seeing the beautiful faces of Helan Minyue, Zhang Hui, Wodan, Mu Qing, Ruxue, etc.

He brought all the soldiers out of the system space and handed them over to Helan Minyue for command. Shi Tianyu solemnly warned all the soldiers that they must strictly abide by Helan Minyue's orders and defend the sacred land of Xiliang and the seven million people without any loss.

After arranging everything, Shi Tianyu once again used the "Immortal Steps" and flew to the capital like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky.

He entered the palace without hesitation and met Zhu Youjian.

Shi Tianyu knew that if he didn't come here, he would appear to be a coward, and he must face all challenges and difficulties with righteousness. In the past ten years, Shi Tianyu has faced the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes and the court, as well as countless difficulties and obstacles, and he has been fearless and brave to meet the challenges.

Now, he has more than 500,000 soldiers and horses, many famous generals and martial arts masters under his command, which makes him more confident and determined to write his own legend in this chaotic world.

In this early summer, the sun in Beijing is bright and warm, and the breeze gently blows across your face, bringing a touch of coolness and making you feel particularly comfortable. The trees on both sides of the street are lush and green, and the green leaves are shining in the sunlight, as if showing people the vitality and vitality of nature. In the flower beds, colorful flowers bloom in competition, with red, yellow, purple and other colors interweaving, competing for beauty, and exuding bursts of fragrance, making people intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers.

The palace in the distance looks particularly majestic against the blue sky, and the glazed tiles sparkle in the sun, as if covered with a golden coat.

~

Shi Tianyu fell silently in front of the magnificent palace like a light feather. His figure seemed particularly light in the sun, as if he had no weight. He did not carry any weapons or hidden weapons, but entered the magnificent palace with bare hands. Before entering the palace, he accepted a thorough body search by Meng Guangning to ensure that there were no suspicious items hidden on his body. Then, he followed Meng Guangning's footsteps, passed through the palace gates, and went to the Chengqian Palace of Concubine Tian.

The scene in the palace was still the same as usual, magnificent and splendid.

However, Shi Tianyu had keenly realized during the march that there were many soldiers hidden in various palaces, and that dangers were lurking everywhere.

Despite this, Shi Tianyu remained fearless and moved forward resolutely. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, because he had once served as a guard in the imperial palace, and that time made him full of familiarity and nostalgia for the palace.

On countless nights, he had stood guard in front of the Qianqing Palace to ensure that the late emperor and the empress could sleep peacefully and without worries.

At that time, whenever night fell, Shi Tianyu would patrol every corner of the palace to ensure that every corner was safe.

Those past years made Shi Tianyu know every corner of this palace like the back of his hand. Every corner and every corridor were filled with his memories. Now, he stepped into this familiar land again, with both nostalgia and heaviness in his heart.

~

When he arrived at Chengqian Palace and came to the study of Zhu Youjian and Concubine Tian, ​​Shi Tianyu bowed slightly and paid deep respect to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian had never expected that Shi Tianyu would dare to come to Chengqian Palace to see him alone and unarmed, and he was unable to judge Shi Tianyu's courage and "ignorance". Despite this, Zhu Youjian was cunning and gave Shi Tianyu a seat and personally handed him a bowl of tea, which seemed to show respect to Shi Tianyu, but in fact, the tea was highly poisonous.

Shi Tianyu took the tea bowl but did not drink it. Instead, he whispered to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, I have made a thorough plan for the Liaodong campaign and have prepared sufficient money and food. When I arrive in Liaodong, I will be able to drive out the enemy and ensure that there will be no foreign invasion. Now please tell me what preparations I need to make before I go to Liaodong."

Shi Tianyu's words were full of determination and his eyes sparkled with confidence in victory.

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect Shi Tianyu to be so confident.

However, Zhu Youjian did not show it. He remained calm and composed, and replied calmly: "My dear, you have worked hard on the journey. Drink some tea to moisten your throat first. This is the Longjing tea that you love." After saying this, he picked up his tea bowl and took a sip.

Shi Tianyu knew very well that if he didn't drink the bowl of poisoned tea, the conversation between him and Zhu Youjian would not be able to continue, and the whole situation would fall into an awkward and stalemate.

Therefore, he calmly picked up the tea bowl and drank it all without hesitation.

After putting down the tea bowl, he again respectfully asked Zhu Youjian for instructions, showing a calm attitude.

Zhu Youjian laughed triumphantly when he saw Shi Tianyu drinking the poisoned tea so calmly, as if he had foreseen the tragic death of Shi Tianyu. He casually said to Shi Tianyu: "My dear, why don't you explain to me in detail your strategy for winning the Liaodong battle."

Shi Tianyu smiled and replied, "I plan to go out to sea, depart from the sea, head to Pi Island, recapture Pi Island, and then launch a surprise attack on Huang Taiji from behind. As the art of war says, only by taking the enemy by surprise can one win. After recapture Pi Island, I will send a brave general to lead 20,000 troops to garrison for a long time, constantly harassing Shengjing and Huang Taiji. In addition, I will personally lead 30,000 troops to attack Shengjing, from east to west, forming a pincer attack with Lord Feng in Shanhaiguan in the west, and echoing each other from a distance. Through such a strategic deployment, I will use three years of hard work to completely quell the rebellion in Liaodong." However, just after Shi Tianyu explained his strategic plan, his face suddenly turned ashen, and gradually turned black. He felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He covered his abdomen in pain and said with difficulty, "The tea is poisonous! Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to poison me."

After saying that, he fell to the ground sideways and fell into a painful struggle.

~

Zhu Youjian laughed out loud and said triumphantly, "Shi Tianyu, you damned thief, how dare you play tricks in front of me? You have been secretly colluding with the Thirteenth Princess of Jiannu, right? You, damned thief, have been colluding with foreign enemies, betraying military secrets, betraying Liaodong, and going against the will of heaven, causing the Ming Dynasty to fall into many crises. On the surface, you are a loyal minister, but in fact you are a traitor. You are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to die today. Humph! Come, take Shi Tianyu, this damned thief, to the Meridian Gate, behead him in public, and order all civil and military officials to come and watch the execution."

"Yes, sir!" Wan Yuankang, Kou Yanming, Shao Qicong and others responded, all holding steel knives. They were a little worried that Shi Tianyu was not dead yet, and they walked towards Shi Tianyu with a grim smile, swinging their knives to kill Shi Tianyu.

Zhu Youjian retreated step by step, and left the study under the protection of Meng Guangning, Hou Yin and other masters. He was worried that he would fail to poison Shi Tianyu and be injured by Shi Tianyu instead.

~

Shi Tianyu suddenly laughed out loud, his complexion returned to normal, and with the support of "Ming Yu Gong", his skin was crystal clear, white and tender. He laughed again and said, "Zhu Youjian, you think you are smart, but you have always been stubborn. You got rid of Mao Wenlong in Pidao through Yuan Chonghuan, eliminating the worries of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and then killed Yuan Chonghuan, destroying the Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty is in danger, but you are still killing loyal ministers and generals. Haha, you are the biggest traitor in the Ming Dynasty, and you ruined the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, you will surely cause the civil and military officials in the court to become disunited and eventually hang themselves on Coal Hill. Haha! You want to kill Shi with a bowl of poisoned tea? It's not that easy! Shi has been immune to all poisons for ten years. Humph! "

After saying that, he jumped up and clasped his hands together. Suddenly, the study was filled with steam, and the temperature rose sharply.

~

Wan Yuankang, Kou Yanming and Shao Qichong, the three masters, felt extremely shocked and panicked at this moment.

They also deeply realized that the current situation has reached a point where there can be no further delay. They have no way out and must take decisive action immediately.

Just like an arrow already on a bowstring that had to be shot out, they had a very clear understanding of this. Therefore, they picked up their weapons without hesitation and launched a fierce attack on Shi Tianyu with all their strength.

Shi Tianyu's body swayed, his palms fluttered and pulled, his movements were light and natural, as if it was effortless. He skillfully used the stunt of "transferring flowers and trees" to skillfully guide the attacks of Wanyuankang, Kou Yanming and Shao Qicong, making them attack each other.

In an instant, the sound of metal collision echoed in the air, followed by a crisp "click" sound like cutting gold and jade.

The three masters' steel knives unexpectedly collided with each other, and all of them broke. Their internal forces suddenly burst out, and they were repelled by each other's internal forces, and their bodies were shaky. Shi Tianyu, like a light swallow, quickly left the study. His movements were agile and graceful, as if he drew beautiful arcs in the air.

At the same time, the palace guards rushed over quickly, holding various weapons and attacking Shi Tianyu fiercely, vowing to kill him. There were flames of anger flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear Shi Tianyu into pieces.

Shi Tianyu sneered and responded: "Humph! If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I'm a sick cat?"

At this moment, he crossed his palms, concentrated all his strength on one point, and swung out several palms.

In an instant, giant flaming swords over a hundred feet long and wide slashed out.

These flaming blades seemed to be summoned from the depths of hell, carrying with them scorching heat and destructive power.

With the sound of bones breaking, the high temperature flames devoured countless palace guards, and their figures turned to ashes in the flames.

The ashes were floating in the air, and the sky and the earth were gray, as if the whole world was shrouded in a haze.

The air was filled with a burning smell, and even the sunlight was obscured by this force.

However, Zhu Youjian's anger and hatred could not be quelled, and he had to tear Shi Tianyu into pieces.

He carefully planned a large-scale ambush inside the palace and had already ambushed 100,000 elite Jinyiwei.

Although people were constantly smashed to pieces by the fierce impact of Shi Tianyu's super giant flaming swords, and a raging flame ignited the open space outside Chengqian Palace, there were still countless Jinyiwei, waving their embroidered spring swords, shouting fearlessly, and rushing towards Shi Tianyu without hesitation, vowing to kill him. Their faces were full of determination, as if they had already put life and death aside and were determined to defend the dignity of the imperial power with their own lives.

~

Shi Tianyu faced this overwhelming and surging attack, but he still remained calm.

He wielded super giant flaming swords, mercilessly killing every enemy who dared to approach him.

His "Burning Wood Sword Technique" was as swift and merciless as a violent storm. No matter whether it was a Buddha or a god, it was difficult to escape the slashing attack of his super giant flaming sword weighing ten thousand pounds.

In this fierce battle, the Grim Reaper's scythe seemed to be swinging in the air, and the sharp snapping sound continued to ring. Countless ashes were flying in the air, like a doomsday storm, and the space in front of Chengqian Palace became extremely dark in an instant.

Night seemed to have fallen early, covering the battlefield full of bloodshed, making the whole scene even more eerie and terrifying.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood; even the wind was trembling, unable to escape the suffocating breath.

However, in this atmosphere of chaos and death, Shi Tianyu still stood firm like a god of war. His figure appeared particularly firm in the firelight and darkness. No matter how powerful the enemy was, his determination and courage could not be shaken.

His existence, like an insurmountable mountain, towered over the battlefield and became the nightmare of all enemies.

In just half an incense stick of time, the 100,000 Jinyiwei seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible and powerful force, turned into ashes, and dissipated into the air. In front of Chengqian Palace, there was a dead silence, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The air was filled with the smell of ashes, and countless ashes were still floating in the air, like a sad rain of ashes. The sky became gray and dark as ink, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you, as if even the starlight was swallowed up by this sudden darkness.

At this moment, no one dared to come forward to besiege Shi Tianyu.

His figure loomed even taller in the darkness.

~

Shi Tianyu clapped his hands lightly, then calmly flicked the dust off his body, took big strides, and walked away.

The palace guards and Jinyiwei in front of the palaces all retreated in fear, as if they were facing not mortals but some invincible gods.

They were shaking all over, sweating profusely, their legs could barely support their weight, and they could fall down at any time. Their eyes showed deep fear and awe, and they dared not take any action against Shi Tianyu.

Zhu Youjian, Meng Guangning, Hou Sai, Wanyuankang, Kou Yanming, Shao Qicong and others collapsed on the ground in Chengqian Palace, so frightened that they were incontinent and wet all over. Their hearts were filled with despair and helplessness, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

~

After leaving the palace, Shi Tianyu remained calm and composed as he strolled along the street.

Seeing that no one dared to challenge him, he used the "Immortal Steps" to fly away from the capital, and returned to Xiliang in a very short time.

There, he killed the rebels and the imperial army, and made Zhu Junkai the King of Xiliang. Helan Minyue, along with Liu Rufei, Xifangzhi, Wang Jing and other super-talented wives and their sons with Shi Tianyu, guarded Xiliang.

Shi Tianyu led Wei Xueyan and her son, accompanied by Dudu and his seven concubines, to the grassland, and won over hundreds of thousands of people left behind after the death of Khan Lindan, built several magnificent ice cities, fulfilled his promise, and appointed Wei Xueyan, Luming, Yaoyao and others as lords of the grassland.

These magnificent ice cities on the grasslands all border Xiliang, thus ensuring that the people of Xiliang always live in peace and building an ideal paradise for the king.

Afterwards, Shi Tianyu, accompanied by Dudu, Li Zhenhai, Shi Yuyan, Lu Dede, Jiang Huotian and other heroes, embarked on a journey to find Shi Feiyang. They crossed countless mountains and rivers, experienced countless hardships and obstacles, and uncovered the mystery of Shi Feiyang's life and death.
