Starting from the martial arts world, Gan became a true master of martial arts.

Wanzhou Palace.

The great general Gu Chengxuan entered the imperial study and bowed respectfully to Li Nan who was sitting at the desk.

Li Nan was not polite. He raised his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities and said directly, "I summoned the general here because I have something to discuss with him. The general holds an important position and has worked hard for Dayang for many years. It is time for him to enjoy a peaceful life."

After Li Nan finished speaking, he looked at Gu Chengxuan calmly.

Gu Chengxuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This meant he was asked to hand over his military power.

Now that the Yanzhou Red Eyebrow Army is heading south, Dayang’s last remaining troops are battling with the Red Eyebrow Army at the Wanzhou border.

Just at this moment, Li Nan wanted him to hand over his military power!

It was not right to agree, nor was it right to refuse. Gu Chengxuan was caught off guard and said with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty, the late emperor entrusted you to me. I should carry out your orders, but now the war has started again. If I hand over my military power at this time, I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army."

After hearing this, Li Nan showed a false smile on his face: "The general is only handing over the military power. As for the battle in the front, the general still needs to take charge."

After saying that, he just looked at Gu Chengxuan calmly.

Gu Chengxuan knew that he couldn't fool around with this matter today, so he looked solemn and slowly bowed his hands and said, "I obey your order!"

After saying that, Gu Chengxuan reached into his arms and took out a golden talisman, and personally presented it to Li Nan.

Li Nan immediately smiled and said, "General, you have worked hard. I will not try to keep you here."

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Gu Chengxuan bowed and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving, his face uncertain.

Not long after Gu Chengxuan left the imperial study, a graceful figure walked out from the side room. It was Li Nan's favorite concubine, Xiang Fei. She looked at the military token in Li Nan's hand with a look of joy and emotion, "Your Majesty, you just took the military token of the general like this, aren't you afraid that he will rebel?"

"I heard that the army is led by the general, and those generals only know Gu Chengxuan but not Your Majesty."

Li Nan slowly stretched out his hand, wrapped his arm around Xiang Fei's slender waist, put his nose on Xiang Fei's breasts and sniffed gently, and said confidently: "Then it's up to my beloved concubine."

"Kill!" Xiang Fei's face was full of smiles, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Hearing this, Li Nan's expression also became stern: "If we kill him, there will be no one to guard the border for me. To restore Dayang, we must have a great general."

Xiang Fei showed a hint of charm on her face, and she slowly leaned close to Li Nan's ear, and her soft voice gently echoed in Li Nan's cochlea: "Your Majesty, the restoration of Dayang depends on the thousands of soldiers fighting in the front and the support of the major martial arts sects in Jiuzhou.

Only by taking all of this firmly in his own hands can the revived Dayang be His Majesty's Dayang, not his, Gu Chengxuan's Dayang.

Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country!"

Li Nan's eyes suddenly became a little blurry. He gently exerted force with his right hand, picked up the slender and soft body in front of him, and walked to the back room. "Then do as my beloved concubine sees, and kill him."

A golden wing flew out from the palace.

The General's Mansion.

The meeting room was already full of people.

The war situation at the front was tense, and at this time, Emperor Xiaozong issued an imperial edict to summon Gu Chengxuan into the palace.

In order to ensure that the war at the front was not affected, many generals rushed back to Wanzhou City overnight to report on the battle situation.

At this moment, the door of the general's mansion was suddenly kicked open, and then a team of black-armored soldiers rushed in.

Taiwei Zhou Liang, who was sitting in the meeting room reviewing the war situation in various places, stood up with a swish and glared at the newcomer, "Wang Ye, what do you want to do?"

Wang is now the commander of the imperial palace guards.

Over the years, as Li Nan grew up, Gu Chengxuan also handed over a lot of power in Dayang back to Emperor Xiaozong.

As the commander of the imperial guards, Wang Ye controlled 50,000 imperial guards in Wanzhou City. Wang Ye glanced at everyone in the meeting room, and his expression changed slightly.

This conference room was filled with almost as many generals and high-ranking officials as the sun today!
Then he showed the secret decree and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's secret decree, Gu Chengxuan rebelled, order him to be captured.

Zhou Liang, do you want to disobey the order?"

When Zhou Liang saw the imperial edict, he was shocked and confused.

The imperial guards who came in immediately rushed forward and soon took control of everyone in the meeting hall.

Zhou Liang immediately pointed at Wang Ye's nose and cursed: "Wang Ye, your majesty must have been bewitched by that evil man. The general will never rebel!"

"Let us go immediately! We want to go to the palace to see the emperor!"

Wang Ye was also a little embarrassed. Today's meeting hall was already half of the Dayang court. He couldn't just kill them all at once!

The secret order he received was only to ambush and kill Gu Chengxuan.

Not long after.

Gu Chengxuan strode in angrily. None of the imperial guards who had surrounded the entire general's mansion dared to attack Gu Chengxuan.

Gu Chengxuan rushed into the meeting room and looked at the generals detained by Zhou Ye. He was furious and said, "Wang Ye, are you planning a rebellion?"

Wang Ye signaled with his eyes, and the surrounding imperial guards gathered around him. He even drew the sword from his waist, pointed at Gu Chengxuan and sneered, "General, His Majesty has issued a secret order that Gu Chengxuan has the intention of treason and must be killed without mercy!"

As he said that, he took the lead and rushed towards Gu Chengxuan.

Wang Ye was able to become the commander of the imperial guards, and he was also a warrior at the fifth level.

He rushed out, but Gu Chengxuan grabbed the sword in his hand. Under Wang Ye's horrified gaze, Gu Chengxuan shouted: "Who dares!"

The rest of the imperial guards did not dare to offend and retreated subconsciously, not even daring to look Gu Chengxuan in the eye.

Wang Ye, who was held hostage by Gu Chengxuan, shouted at the surrounding imperial guards: "No retreat, His Majesty has issued a secret order to kill without mercy!"

Gu Chengxuan swung his sword and a stream of blood spurted out from the general's neck, splashing on the spot!
Seeing the dead body fall to the ground, the other imperial guards around also put down their weapons.

Taiwei Zhou Liang and others escaped and looked at Gu Chengxuan: "General, His Majesty must have been instigated by that demon!"

"Dayang's last hope lies in the general. If you don't make a decision, there will be trouble in the future!"

Among these generals, there were many who had advised Gu Chengxuan to take over. After seeing this unexpected change today, they all stepped forward to advise him.

Gu Chengxuan had a cold face and sighed painfully: "If I had listened to Brother Zhou's advice earlier, I would never have let that monster enter the palace!"

"Everyone, immediately rush to each government office and tell all officials and martial arts sects to rush to the palace to see me!"

"Yes!" All the generals accepted the order and scattered, snatching the mounts of the imperial guards.

On the streets of Wanzhou City, war horses were neighing and the sound of horse hooves was heard everywhere.

Gu Chengxuan glanced at Zhou Liang and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhou, are you willing to follow me into the palace to serve the king?"

Zhou Liang, a civil servant, also picked up a sword from the ground and said loudly: "I am willing to follow the general!"

The two men rode out of the general's mansion on horseback, and the horses immediately galloped through the city.

Two men, two swords, two horses, their clothes fluttering in the wind, trampling the streets into a mess.

Head straight to the direction of the palace! (End of this chapter)
