After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

"I went astray in my practice today and something went wrong. I need to rest for a while. Please forgive me for not being able to obey your order." Li Kuang was the first to stand up and interrupted Yang Yuanye.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes then turned to the expressionless Li Kuang. They had never expected that Li Kuang would turn against them so bluntly and not only did he not give Yang Yuanye face.

He didn't even give the imperial court face.

Yang Yuanye frowned immediately and was about to speak when another voice interrupted him.

"I feel the same way. It is difficult for me to take up the position. I hope Yang Zhennan can refuse."

Li Xian also spoke.

"The Black Office is not under the jurisdiction of the Zhennan General's Mansion. How come I haven't received the report yet, but Yang Zhennan has received it? Humph, falsely conveying the imperial edict is a capital crime."

Zhou Xuan said calmly, not giving the other party any way out.

He was not afraid of Yang Yuanye.

Long before, he was only one step away from the Yuanshen. Now, he has overcome the inner demon and lust and achieved the Yuanshen master. He is not afraid even in a fight.

They all knew what Yang Yuanye meant. He just wanted to suppress them completely because the situation was unstable.

If Jiang Che had not shown up before, they might not have resisted. After all, that would be like hitting a rock with an egg. But now, Jiang Che not only showed up, but also defeated Yang Gongsi.

Seeing that Jiang Che is about to return as a king, how could they be willing to be suppressed again?

The imperial court can hardly protect itself now, yet it still wants to suppress them. It's simply ridiculous.

In the past few days, he had met with Li Xian and others. Just with a glance, they made up their minds that it was impossible to transfer, and the worst that could happen was a battle.

Although the Zhennan Army was planted with many confidants and spies by the imperial court, they still had many confidants. As long as they were willing, they could make the Zhennan Army defect in an instant.

But it’s not a problem to mobilize a group of people.

Therefore, they embarrassed Yang Yuanye in court.

"You, you, you, you want to rebel?"

Yang Yuanye looked angry.

He knew that Li Xian and others had been restless recently, so he was planning to transfer them all away. However, he did not expect that these people would be so bold.

Just embarrass him!

It's simply betrayal of the court.

"It is you who are rebelling, Yang Yuanye. Why are you, an outsider, showing off your power here? Do you really think Yang Gongsi is still alive? Humph, I'm telling you the truth.

Duke Wu'an has returned, and Yuezhou will change its ways sooner or later. If you are sensible, you should immediately draw a clear line with the court, otherwise."

Li Kuang snorted coldly and directly brought out Jiang Che's name to start scare people.

And it turns out that the effect is excellent.

In a flash, the faces of all the officials, including Yang Yuanye, changed drastically. Fear could be faintly seen on their faces, and they looked around in panic.

Seems to be looking for Jiang Che's trace.

Compared to Yang Gongsi, Jiang Che's reputation is undoubtedly higher now. Having killed the Martial Saint and the powerful, Jiang Che is still one of the ten most powerful men in the world. Moreover, his methods are vicious and he is a hero of the time.

Even Duan Yuntian, who is among the top three in the world, couldn't do anything to Jiang Che. Compared with him, they were just like ants.

If Jiang Che shows up, there is no doubt that most of the people present at this moment will turn against him.

There is no way. The gap in strength is too big and cannot be made up at all.

“Li Kuang, don’t cause trouble here. The villain Jiang Che has already suffered a serious injury. Even if he is not dead, he will not dare to show up for decades. It is impossible for you to scare me with just a name.

Not to mention Jiang Che is not here, even if Jiang Che is here today, I am not afraid at all!"

Seeing the changing expressions of the officials present, Yang Yuanye reacted quickly and guessed that Li Kuang was threatening people, so he immediately scolded him back. Then, he watched the situation move further and further in a direction that he could not predict.

He prepared to fight a quick battle and capture Li Xian and others first.

As a member of the Yang family, he can be said to have inherited the true teachings of Yang Gongsi. Although his strength is not top-notch, he has some foundation, so it is definitely not a problem for him to suppress Zhou Xuan and the other two.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be speaking so much here.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Yang Yuanye immediately winked at the people below. Li Xian and the others were not stupid either, and they quickly prepared for the situation, and their aura began to dissipate rapidly.

But just as the war was about to begin.

suddenly.

An air of supreme majesty enveloped the entire Duke’s Mansion.

Everyone felt as if they were being pressed down by a huge mountain, and their faces changed drastically.

field!

The realm of martial saint!

And it’s not just an ordinary field.

Although a normal Martial Saint could suppress a Soul Master by opening his domain, it was definitely difficult for him to immobilize more than a dozen Grand Masters. At this moment, everyone was filled with fear.

Li Xian and others thought that the court had sent out another Martial Saint, and they were extremely depressed.

Yang Yuanye felt that Jiang Che had really appeared, and even despair appeared in his eyes.

Even his ancestor Yang Gongsi was suppressed by Jiang Che. Wouldn't he, a mere Yuanshen Venerable, be suppressed with just a wave of his hand?
The breeze floats and ripples form.

Just when everyone was worried, the mystery was finally solved. Jiang Che, dressed in a black brocade robe, slowly revealed his true identity and sat directly in the top seat that originally belonged to Yang Yuanye.

As for Yang Yuanye, Jiang Che naturally moved him to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Raising his eyes, Jiang Che scanned the entire audience.

The already depressing atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

When he saw clearly the figure appearing above, Yang Yuanye's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and an irrepressible despair appeared in his eyes.

Finished!

Compared to him.

Li Xian and others had their eyes filled with surprise.

It was a surprise indeed.

They originally thought that Jiang Che would be safe for a while, and they were prepared to keep a low profile. It was only because Yang Yuanye went too far that they couldn't help but turn hostile today.

But in reality, they don't have much confidence.

But it's fine now.

Their backbone has arrived.

After removing the domain suppression from Li Xian and the others, they immediately knelt on one knee and saluted:

"My Lord, you are finally back."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

"Congratulations on your return."

The three people said different things, the only thing in common was the excitement in their eyes.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Che had actually just arrived and was originally preparing to show up, but when he saw that several people were turning against each other, he decided to wait a while. He also understood what Li Kuang and others were thinking.

Jiang Che didn't care about the fact that they had once surrendered to the imperial court.

After all, he was the one who gave up on a few people first, and it was rare that they could keep their composure.

“Working for adults is not hard.”

Jiang Che nodded, then turned his gaze to Yang Yuanye and several other panicked officials, and said calmly: "Pass the order down, Yang Yuanye has caused chaos in Yuezhou and harmed the people. Heaven will not forgive him. From today on, he will be beheaded on the spot and his head will be hung on the city gate, as well as these officials sent by the court.

Their properties were confiscated and their families were exterminated to serve as a warning to others."

"Yes, I will definitely get it done."

Zhou Xuan spoke quickly.

He was very adept at this kind of thing.

"Also, appoint Li Xian and Li Kuang as deputy generals of the Southern Army, and immediately eliminate all the cronies planted by the imperial court and execute them all. At the same time, announce to Yuezhou that Jiang Che is back."

Jiang Che waved his hand.

With his strength, the return of the king is no problem at all, and with his current prestige, he will be able to take over Yuezhou very smoothly, because this is his home court.

"I will obey my orders."

"I will obey my orders."

Li Xian and Li Kuang were extremely excited and quickly saluted.

Under Jiang Che's order, the entire Yuezhou City was put into action in the shortest time possible. As Yang Yuanye and others were executed, batch after batch of court officials were executed.

Everyone knew that the world had changed.

The king who once dominated Yuezhou has returned.

For a while, the city of Yuezhou was in constant turmoil.

As the news spread, the entire Yuezhou was in turmoil. Some people were horrified, some were afraid, some were inexplicably excited, and some even tried to take advantage of the chaos.

But under the attack of the Zhennan Army, all the chaos was quickly suppressed.

Long before, Jiang Che had expanded the Zhennan Army to about 200,000 men and horses, which was a strong army with unparalleled strength. Now, with Jiang Che's return, the Zhennan Army almost instantly turned against him.

Once again returned to his command.

The turmoil and chaos lasted for three full days before everything returned to calm, and Jiang Che smoothly took over the entire military and political affairs of Yuezhou.

All of a sudden, the name of King Yuezhou became more and more famous.

Jiang Che's behavior was no less than a rebellion, and the impact it caused quickly spread to the surrounding states, causing turmoil in the three states of the southern region.

This news quickly began to spread throughout the world.

This day.

Jiang Che sat alone at his desk, dealing with the remaining official documents.

After regaining control of Yuezhou, there were many things that needed to be dealt with. Although most of them were handed over to the officials below, it still took him a lot of time and effort. A large part of them was contacting Xuantian Wuji Palace.

However, there was no news from Yao Yue. No matter how he tried to contact her, there was no response. Naturally, there was no way to contact that person, Xianfeng Wuji.

It can only be put aside for the time being.

Be prepared to use your huge influence to attract the other party's attention afterwards.

As for Qi Huan, he has not arrived yet, but Jiang Che feels that there is no need to worry about this matter, as it is only a matter of time.

What he is currently looking at is the compensation for casualties.

Previously, the imperial court hunted down some of his close associates and killed quite a few of them, many of whom were old people he once knew, such as his good brother Wan Pengyun in Tai'an Prefecture.

For example, the group of people he brought from Yanggu County.

Many people were ordered to be executed by Yang Gongsi, and even their families were implicated.

For example, there is another person.

Zhu Xu.

This person is Madam Zhu's son. He has been working with him since the Tai'an Prefecture. He is not very conspicuous and does not have any outstanding qualifications. However, he is indeed loyal.

Even when he was tortured to the point of death, he did not reveal any trace of Qi Huan Yikong and others.

In the end, he was chopped in half by that old man Yang Gongsi.

To be honest, this was the first time he understood the casualties in such detail. He had always thought that not many people died, but... If he had known this earlier, he would not have given Yang Gongsi a chance to live.

As for now.

Jiang Che naturally wanted to take revenge for these former subordinates and confidants.

Not only were all of Yang Gongsi's family members and close associates tortured to death, but even Yang Gongsi himself was whipped by Jiang Che's thunder whip every day, if Jiang Che hadn't intentionally held back.

The opponent's Yang Shen was about to collapse at this moment.

Indeed, Yang Gongsi was a loyal minister who was devoted to his country, and he had some respect for him before, but the problem was that the other party could not touch his bottom line.

Once offended, no matter whether he is a loyal minister or not, as long as the person is not loyal to you, you will be tortured.

Seeing the news of Zhu Xu's death, Jiang Che's thoughts couldn't help but go back to several years ago. He thought of that very gentle figure. In fact, if he really counted it, Mrs. Zhu was the first woman he had met in this world since he traveled through time.

However, their contact was not like the Qi sisters', where they talked about love first and then made love.

The initial contact between the two originated from a misunderstanding. Later, because the other party was so charming, Jiang Che was obsessed with her for a few days. Unfortunately, the other party had too many concerns.

She was unwilling to go to Tiannan with him, and since then, the two sides had no contact.

All in all, it took almost two years.

"Sir, all the military affairs have been dealt with, and all the court's confidants have been executed," Li Kuang approached cautiously and reported in a low voice.

"well done."

Jiang Che gave a casual word of encouragement.

"This is what subordinates should do."

"As for Zhu Xu's family, you go back and take care of them as much as possible." Jiang Che casually threw a letter to Li Kuang.

Although he and Mrs. Zhu were no longer in contact, they had communicated in the past and could not be treated equally at this moment.

But after Li Kuang glanced at the memorial, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What, is there a problem?"

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, and an invisible aura emanated from him.

"Your Excellency, Zhu Xu currently has only one younger sister left in his family."

"Ok?"

Jiang Che frowned suddenly.

Li Kuang then continued:
“In fact, my subordinates have been taking care of the families of those who were arrested, so that most of them were not implicated. However, Zhu Xu’s mother died of illness as early as last year.

There is still a younger sister named Zhu Qingqing, who has now become a Taoist nun, so this..."

Mrs. Zhu is dead?
Jiang Che was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little dazed.

"How did his mother die?"

"I don't know the details, I just know that he died of illness."

"understood."

Jiang Che was silent for a few moments and nodded slightly.

He really didn't expect that Mrs. Zhu would pass away in just less than two years, and he had no idea about this. Of course, the most important thing was that he had never paid attention to it.

Recalling the past scenes, Jiang Che exhaled a breath and said in a deep voice:
"Immediately, order people to draft a letter of denunciation. The court is unjust and the emperor is incompetent, causing the people of the world to suffer."
