The Bad Guys: Everyone, let’s revive the Tang Dynasty together!

Chapter 344 Regent (Part )

The emperor abdicates?

Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne?
...So Zhu Wen became the emperor emeritus?
Not to mention that the so-called loyalist army gathered outside the Suzaku Gate in the entire city was in an uproar. Zhu Youwen, who was riding on his horse and looking coldly at the people in and out of the Suzaku Gate, was even more shocked as if he was struck by lightning. His eyes widened, and he suddenly felt as if he was attacked by anger and almost fainted from his horse.

Cui Yu, who was acting as a lobbyist in front of Zhu Youwen, was not in a good condition either. This matter had exceeded everyone's expectations. Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, and even subconsciously looked back at Zhu Youwen, and then he became furious, raised his whip and pointed at the city wall.

"Forged imperial edict! Xiao Yan! How dare you forge an imperial edict!"

"Where is His Majesty? Where is His Majesty! How dare you persecute His Majesty and hold the Prime Minister hostage to forge an imperial edict in front of the world! Ridiculous, who would believe you! Xiao Yan, you, a traitor, will be punished by the world!"

Zhu Youwen was at least startled by Cui Yu's shout, but his expression was still extremely ugly.

It should be understood that even if he was forced to start the rebellion early tonight, he was only temporarily thinking of holding that old man Zhu Wen hostage first, establishing himself as the crown prince, and then slowly killing the Hades Emperor, Xiao Yan and the like, and then plotting to seize the throne as the "Ghost King".

But that guy Xiao Yan!
How dare you forge an imperial edict so brazenly! And even go to support that loser Zhu Youzhen!

What a crap General Tiance, Xiao Yan, he has such a huge appetite!
Everyone in the Suzaku Sect, including Jing Xiang, deserves to die!
At this time, Xiao Yan would not care about Cui Yu, who was just a villain who only knew how to curry favor with the powerful. If Xiao Yan had not given him the opportunity, Cui Yu would not have been qualified to come to the stage tonight.

He just curled the corners of his mouth vaguely, ignored the noise and commotion south of Longjin Bridge, pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist and turned to look at Zhu Youzhen.

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's mind was already blank. He was also shocked by Xiao Yan's blatant forgery of the imperial edict. He couldn't believe the ups and downs of tonight. He was still worried about whether he would lose his head an hour ago.

And at this moment, the throne that countless people had coveted and eyed, and was built with thousands of corpses, actually fell on the head of Zhu Youzhen!
Zhu Youzhen's whole body was trembling. Xiao Yan's sharp eyes made him feel more intimate at this moment. He even felt that the whole journey tonight was just like a dream.

The world has really fallen into his hands! ?

"His Majesty."

Xiao Yan crossed his arms and saluted, saying indifferently: "Those under the city who heard the imperial edict and did not obey it are indeed traitors and rebels. I think the rebellion can be quelled."

Zhu Youzhen shuddered suddenly, as if he was suddenly awakened from a dream. He was at a loss as to how to help Xiao Yan up, but when he saw the latter's iron armor, he did not dare to touch Xiao Yan's arm. He hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yan, which was even bigger than Xiao Yan's crossed-arm salute.

"Duke... no no no, General, I will completely obey you..."

Xiao Yan smiled, stood up, and pressed the hilt of his sword. The seven or eight hundred iron cavalrymen under the Suzaku Sect, whose bodies were as hard as tin cans, had all raised their lances, held their spears at an angle, and their huge horse hooves began to slowly step out sparks on the stone slabs.

Beside him, Jing Xiang was still in a daze. When he saw Xiao Yan looking back at him, he came back to his senses a little, but he just looked at Xiao Yan and murmured, "No one in the world will believe it... Who in the world will believe it? Xiao Shuai, why is it so? Your Majesty, is it not up to you to decide everything now? Why don't you sit down and talk again, why is it so?"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, picked up the imperial edict that he had just closed, and tore it in half. Then, holding the hilt of the knife, he looked into the distance at the south of Longjin Bridge. The chaotic army over there had begun to panic due to the actions of hundreds of cavalry.

"Jing Xiang, I gave him a chance."

Jing Xiang suddenly paused.

Xiao Yan just continued to smile, but his smile was very indifferent: "Since you don't want to give it to me, then I will take it myself, what's wrong with that?"

Jing Xiang shook his head: "After tonight, you will have no chance to turn back. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from the world. The country of Daliang will be destroyed in your hands..."

Xiao Yan laughed, put his arm around Jing Xiang's shoulders, pointed his spear at the chaotic army in the south, and slowly moved from left to right.

"Prime Minister Jing, look at these bastards. Without me, how many more years can Daliang last? If Daliang is going to fall, Prime Minister Jing, remember, it is not because of me, but because of them, Zhu Wen, and every pleasure-seeking, servile, worthless wretch in this court."

"As for what happened tonight."

Xiao Yan calmly pushed the handle of the knife with his thumb and said, "Why should I hide it from the world? Why should I be afraid of the world knowing it? In the end, the world is still ruled by the strong and powerful. It's a pity that they are not as good as me. Who else in this world is like me?"

Behind the two of them, Zhu Youzhen, who seemed to be the new emperor of Daliang, had a pale face.

Jing Xiang's whole body trembled.

Xiao Yan suddenly drew his sword from its sheath and pointed it to the south. The cold light on the blade reflected on his cold face.

"Just wait and see, Prime Minister Jing. Even you will be unable to resist coming to help me. After tonight, you will clearly see what the difference will be when the world is in the hands of people like you and me."

As this light voice fell, a loud shout with a Hebei accent suddenly rang out from the Suzaku Sect.

"Where is Dingbadu!?
Obey the order of General Tiance, support the king and put down the rebellion!"

With a loud bang, the sound of horse hooves began to accelerate rapidly, heavy and dense, as if knocking on everyone's heart tonight.

At the same time, there seemed to be countless voices responding.

"Die for the General!"

------

Those who were startled by the sound of hooves were definitely not the thousands of motley troops who had temporarily gathered around Zhu Youwen and Cui Yu south of Longjin Bridge.

That night, all the citizens in the city who were closely following this development seemed to clearly realize, under the sound of horse hooves that seemed to crush everything, that the chaos tonight would determine the outcome.

To the south of the rebellious army, a slender figure in a cloak looked pale, tightly grasping a grassland-shaped scimitar at her waist, and could not help but take a step back.

"My lord, let's go."

Next to him, the magistrate of Chenliu County, who was over 40 years old and also dressed in attire, was in tears.

God had mercy on him. He was a spy trained by the Thirteen Guardians of Jin State. He had been working as a county magistrate for more than ten years and was finally promoted to the rank of Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Works. He had only been in the capital for a few days, not even five days, when first all the corvées under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works rioted. Then, the Marquis of Guanjun, who seemed to have nothing to do with the tide, suddenly stirred up chaos in the whole city.

Thousands of people were drawn into this chaos, but what was even more terrible was that this unknown female noblewoman insisted on joining in the fun to find out what was going on. The two of them, along with two followers, hid in the chaotic army and rushed all the way to the outside of the Suzaku Gate, where they saw the Marquis of Champion, the Marquis of Champion who was said to have lost the emperor's favor and was severely ostracized and suppressed by the Ghost King and his party.

And it was here that they, along with thousands of others, witnessed with their own eyes the Marquis of Guanjun forging an imperial edict to establish a new emperor, and he himself suddenly transformed himself into the General of Heavenly Strategy who commanded the world's military!
The Chenliu County Magistrate thought that all the ups and downs of his life had been experienced tonight. When he saw the armored soldiers from the Suzaku Gate rolling in from afar, his legs became weak and he just kept persuading the nobleman next to him to flee. But Bago ignored him and just stared at the figure on the tower wearing a bright red cloak, with the so-called new emperor and the so-called prime minister of Daliang standing one step behind him.

The title of Guanjun Hou in Chenliu must be a fake.

And the person on the city wall was Xiao Yan. It must be that Xiao Yan. It must be the Xiao Yan that even the King of Jin ordered her to come to the Central Plains in person to get close to her at all costs!

There are such men in the Central Plains.

Bago was somewhat distraught, for she realized that her mission might never be completed. She just followed the county magistrate and his two followers as they began to disengage from the rebel army, trying to take advantage of the chaos to leave this place where a river of blood was about to flow.

The four of them hid all the way, and in order to avoid running into the chaotic army everywhere in the city, they even had to climb onto the roof. They didn't think about anything else but to hide to the south first.

------

Also on a rooftop in the south, a dwarf with a dwarf-like appearance looked at the flames all around him with cold hands and feet, and listened to the sound that seemed to be from the whole city shouting.

The Hades Emperor Zhu Yougui was so furious that he was alone on the roof, raging like a rage.

Damn Zhu Youwen, damn Meng Po, the Judge of Water and Fire!
What on earth are these bastards doing! How dare these bitches start a mutiny behind my back! !
Zhu Youwen, Zhu Youwen!

Zhu Yougui was filled with murderous aura that could not be suppressed. He was determined that Zhu Youwen was out to seize power. How dare a puppet covet the throne? Do you think you can make a fake come true when I'm not here?
He glanced around, his expression becoming more distorted.

Zhu Yougui had gone astray because he had only practiced the second half of the Jiuyou Xuantian Divine Art. He turned into a dwarf-like creature with a very short stature, so he had to jump to a high place to determine the situation.

In fact, he had just been to a very high fire-watchtower, but there were flames everywhere, and the buildings in Bianjing City were crowded together. There were several large groups of people moving in the south and north. Zhu Yougui could not tell where Zhu Youwen's main force was for a while, and he was even more unclear why the chaos in the city was just the result of the actions of a mob. If the imperial guards were called in, they would probably have killed their way through the entire city.

Zhu Yougui could only throw all possibilities into the fact that Zhu Youwen was too useless. He glanced around and saw a small group of figures on the roof several streets away moving southward. His heart moved and the corners of his mouth turned cold. He flashed and flew several feet away in an instant.

Bago was surrounded by three people. After leaving the chaotic army, she finally recovered some of her mood, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Yan's current identity was not a person she could reach at all. Moreover, if Xiao Yan was defeated tonight, this trip to the Central Plains would be incoherent, and she was afraid that she would not be able to report to King Jin.

Does Xiao Yan actually have such courage and skill?
Hold Zhu Wen hostage, depose and enthrone the emperor...

Bago shook his head, fearing that after what happened tonight, the whole world would be shocked tomorrow.

This was not a fuss that could be caused by a descendant of Li Tang in Taiyuan. Li Xingyun being welcomed to the State of Jin was just a piece of gossip in the streets.

What Xiao Yan did tonight might change the situation in the entire world.

How would the King of Jin feel when such a young man, barely 20 years old, suddenly ascended to the top of the world and became a figure like Wei Wu in the past? What would the other heroes think?

Bago couldn't figure it out. Her knowledge didn't allow her to think of things at this level. She just sighed.

However, Bago was startled and felt a chill on his spine. He kicked the Chenliu County Magistrate who had just climbed onto the roof off the eaves, and shouted to his followers: "Be careful!"

The two followers were just living dead, without Bago's sharpness. Before they could react, they felt a sudden suction force coming from behind, and then they both flew backwards. In just a moment, they were each slapped on the top of their heads with a murderous aura, and their knees softened by gravity, and they knelt down at the same time.

"Ok?"

Zhu Yougui, who suddenly appeared, cried out in surprise. He noticed something strange about the two men under his command and laughed shrilly: "Living dead? Interesting."

Bago pulled out his knife with his backhand, took a step back vigilantly, and stared at Zhu Yougui from a distance, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

She did not carry her main weapon, the silk reel, as it was too conspicuous, so she sensed the murderous aura that suddenly enveloped the Hades, but she had no time to take any chances. When she saw her two followers being sucked into the Hades' palm, she felt a chill in her heart and clearly understood the distance between herself and Zhu Yougui.

"You, a lowly person, are not simple." Zhu Yougui sucked the blood of the two living dead under his palm, put his hands behind his back, raised his chin and looked at Ba Ge from the other side of the roof: "But now I am not interested in you. I only want to ask you one thing, do you know where Zhu Youwen is?"

Bago smiled coldly. At the same time, he looked at Zhu Yougui's appearance and attire. His heart was tense. He asked cautiously, "Sir, could it be Zhu Yougui, the Dark Emperor of the Xuanming Sect?"

"How can a lowly person like you call me by my name?" Zhu Yougui's face darkened, and he flashed, shortening the distance between the two of them, and raised his hand to slap.

"Paws!"

Bago kicked away some pieces of rubble with his toes, but he had no idea that Zhu Yougui was such a moody person and would immediately take the opportunity to escape.

But how could Zhu Yougui be stopped by a few pieces of rubble? He came like a shadow, and his figure flashed in the air again, avoiding Baguo's sharp knife, and reappeared in front of Baguo. At the same time, he sneered sharply, swung out with a leg whip, and kicked Baguo sideways for several feet, and rolled several times on the eaves outside the street.

Ba Ge was about to get up in a hurry, but Zhu Yougui had already stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, chin raised, and laughed with satisfaction: "To me, everyone below the Great Heavenly Position is indeed an ant!"

"Untouchable, I will give you a chance. If you can lead me to find Zhu Youwen, I will spare your life, and I will also allow you to have a place to stay in the Xuanming Sect in the future."

Bago choked out a mouthful of blood, knowing that after being kicked by Zhu Yougui, the evil spirit had already entered his body through his arm, but he still just sneered: "I can lead the Hades Emperor to find Zhu Youwen, but I hope the Hades Emperor will not regret it later."

Zhu Yougui didn't even bother to pay attention to her. He raised his hand and slapped Bago in the face, then said proudly, "Lead the way!"

Regret?

How could he, the great Emperor of the Underworld, regret it?

He wants to let the world know who is the real master of this empire!

Baguo staggered northward with Zhu Yougui, not uttering a word from beginning to end.

Under the eaves where the two men had briefly fought, Chenliu County Magistrate Zang He covered his mouth tightly and did not make a single sound.

His first thought was of course to escape, but when he thought about his life and even his entire family being in the hands of Li Cunren, he slapped his thigh in annoyance, hunched over and walked towards the north in hiding.
