Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

"That's right. Vice Marshal Zhou led us here to protect Commander Gu and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the seal and fight for power."

Seeing that Deputy Marshal Hu turned the tables and attacked Gu Tang, one of the three captains in the front among the hundreds of Deputy Marshal Zhou's men who were still kneeling there spoke up in response.

Speaking of the killed Deputy Commander Zhou, this person's face was filled with grief and indignation. He raised his hand and pointed at Ye Fan angrily, "Commander Gu, this person killed Deputy Commander Zhou in public without asking any questions. His body was not even found. It was a horrible sight."

"Please, Commander-in-Chief, take action immediately and kill this man to comfort the spirit of Vice Commander Zhou..."

"Hahaha……"

Before he could finish, Gu Tang burst into laughter out of anger.

After laughing, his face darkened and he roared, "How dare you throw dirty water on Master Ye and me? You are really so bold."

"puff!"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Tang suddenly made a move, and with a palm force that broke through the air, he chopped the captain of ten thousand men to death on the spot.

"I have led the Red Tiger Army and guarded the northwest border for more than ten years. Now someone dares to try to take my life in the military camp. This is simply outrageous."

"Tell me, who instructed you to do this?"

With the last sound, Gu Tang activated his cultivation, which was like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of thousands of soldiers, coupled with the deterrent effect created by his accumulated power over the years.

Among the people under the command of the two deputy marshals Hu and Zhou, some of them immediately lost their minds, fell to the ground with deathly pale faces, and trembled while confessing the truth.

"Commander Xi Shu, this is all a collusion between Vice Commander Zhou and Prince Jin's Mansion. They want to take advantage of the commander's serious injury to seize the commander's seal, control the entire Red Tiger Army, and finally take over the Red Tiger Territory."

"We are just following orders, we have no choice..."

"And the same is true for us. Deputy Commander Hu was instructed by the royal family to harm the commander-in-chief and disrupt the Red Tiger Army to avoid posing a threat to the royal family."

"We don't want to do this, but Vice Marshal Hu put pressure on us in the name of the royal family, so we can't do anything..."

In an instant, the truth came to light.

Deputy Commander Hu spurted out a stream of blood on the spot. Although he was still extremely unwilling, he knew that the game was over.

After a long sigh, he knelt there, closed his eyes, and stopped struggling.

Hundreds of loyal generals including Shan Lianshan were all in an uproar, with anger evident on their faces, and they all denounced the royal family and Prince Jin for their ulterior motives.

"I have guarded the northwestern border of Daxia for thirty years, and I have devoted my life to it."

"Even during the past ten years when I was in charge of the entire Red Tiger Army, I never had any disloyalty. I never expected that the royal family would treat me like this! Not only did they not give me elixirs to treat my injuries... My son tried so hard to get the elixirs back, but he was almost killed!

Now he wants to take the military power from me and kill me! Don’t blame me for making such a choice... Alas... The current royal family is not the same as before..."

When the late emperor was still alive, did a great ruler need to resort to such means?

Now the emperor is weak and Prince Jin is strong, turning the entire Daxia upside down!
Gu Tang, who learned the truth, was filled with emotion at this moment.

"Master Ye, how do we deal with these people planted by Prince Jin and the royal family?"

"The people of King Jin are traitors and should be killed!"

Ye Fan thought for a moment and nodded immediately, "But Deputy Marshal Hu and others acted under the orders of the royal family, so they are not traitors. It is not easy for me to make the decision, so let Marshal Gu make the decision."

"Someone is coming..."

Gu Tang received the order and shouted, "All the rebels under Vice Marshal Zhou's command will be executed on the spot."

"As for Deputy Commander Hu and his subordinates, their rebellion against their superiors is also a serious crime."

"Although the death penalty can be avoided, military law cannot be escaped. All of you will be punished with 100 lashes and demoted three levels. You will be taken to the military prison first and will be dealt with later..."

Gu Changsheng immediately took the order and led a group of Red Tiger guards to escort Deputy Marshal Hu and others to the military prison.

Another part of the Red Tiger Guards drew their swords from their waists, their eyes flashing with murderous light, and walked towards the people under Deputy Commander Zhou who were still kneeling there. There were hundreds of centurions, thousand-man commanders, and even ten thousand-man commanders, as well as Deputy Commander Zhou's personal soldiers, plus two thousand soldiers who had been bribed and rebelled to King Jin.

A total of nearly three thousand people will be executed on the spot.

This is the military order. There will be no leniency or tolerance towards rebels.

"Want to kill us? Then we'll all die together!"

"That's right. We're going to die anyway, so let's fight them!"

Seeing that they could not escape death, the two captains had a fierce light flashing in their eyes, and a look of madness and despair appeared on their faces. They roared and stood up at the same time.

"Boom boom..."

A low roar sounded from the two men's bodies, and the martial arts aura that emanated from them also rapidly increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hundreds of people kneeling behind the two men also stood up one after another. The same situation occurred in their bodies. There was a sudden roar and their breath surged.

However, in just a moment, half of them who were originally only at the Martial Honor Realm had leaped to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Especially the two captains, who were only at the eighth rank of Martial Honor before, but now have both reached the ninth rank of Martial Emperor, and are only one step away from the Martial Saint realm...

These guys were like crazy, they stood up and ran in all directions.

Some of them rushed towards the general's tent.

The other part rushed towards the 30,000 cavalry army a hundred feet away.

Before anyone could react, something unexpected happened...

"boom!"

"Pfft..."

Among the madly running rebels, some began to self-destruct. Violent energy surged out of their bodies, tearing themselves apart while raging in all directions.

The front line of the cavalry army was immediately affected, both horses and soldiers were injured, and chaos broke out.

Several people blew themselves up outside the general's tent, killing more than a dozen Red Tiger guards on the spot. Two centurions were also blown away, spurting blood from their mouths, and it was obvious that they were seriously injured.

The Martial Emperor would self-destruct at all costs and at the risk of his life. One can imagine how horrific the destructive power would be.

"He actually used a secret method to instantly improve his cultivation, and fought back before dying. It's really not a pity that he died!"

"Damn it, they are all dead soldiers!"

"Protect Master Ye, protect the commander-in-chief, and never let them get close to the commander's tent!"

"Stop them all..."

The scene immediately became chaotic. Generals including Shan Lianshan, Gu Changsheng and others who were just about to leave, and all the Chihu guards rushed out and stood in front.

Gu Tang's face had already turned blue with anger, but he remained fearless. He stood there with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with power, and he remained unmoved.

"Counterattack by self-destruction? What's the point of doing that?"

Ye Fan curled his lips, his face calm.

While muttering softly, as his Demonic Pupils quietly activated, a gleam flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, and he quickly saw through the body of one of the assassins, his dantian, qi sea, meridians and blood vessels, all clearly visible.

Inside the bodies of these assassins, the Dantian Qi Sea had already transformed into a surging vortex of energy, and the extremely expanded martial arts energy was rushing towards the meridians throughout the body like a raging river.

Although it can quickly improve martial arts skills and has overwhelming effects, this process is completely irreversible.

In other words, once this secret method is activated, the caster will surely die. No wonder they are so fearless and blew themselves up one after another... (End of this chapter)
