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

Chapter 345 Regent (Part )

South of Longjin Bridge.

In the huge scale of the chaotic army, everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the nearly one thousand Tiger and Guard cavalrymen who were quietly starting to move forward in front of them. The sky was about to dawn, and the seven or eight hundred Dingba under the Suzaku Sect all had no torches. Their movements were like a wall of iron pressing down on them.

Among the nearly one thousand cavalrymen, there were voices with a thick Hebei accent shouting.

"General Tiance's order! All troops advance straight ahead, Prince Bo Zhu Youwen and other traitors will be killed regardless of life or death! The imperial guards and even the generals who were coerced can be spared if they abandon their weapons, but if they resist, they will be killed without mercy! The rest of the civilians who were coerced by the rebellious army, countless of whom fled, will be pardoned!"

The huge crowd of soldiers was in an uproar in an instant. Some people hurriedly retreated, while some people who did not see the existence of the cavalry at the back of the crowd rushed forward, wanting to establish a glorious military exploit in front of His Royal Highness Prince Bo.

As for Zhu Youwen, who was reining in his horse in the front, he was already surrounded by countless staff members and ministers, who all urged him to give the order to attack the city. As long as Zhu Youzhen was captured, the villain Xiao Yan would no longer have any reputation, and even the emperor Zhu Wen was not as important as Zhu Youzhen!
Zhu Youwen just frowned and said nothing. Cui Yu in front of him turned around on his horse.

Cui Yuli ignored the people surrounding Zhu Youwen and shouted, "Your Highness, don't fight here! The villain Xiao Yan relies on only the hundreds of Hebei cavalrymen he has hidden, but there is no one in the city who can defeat him. Since it is impossible to control the imperial city in one fell swoop, Your Highness should immediately take control of the imperial guards!"

At the moment, there was a lot of noise all around, and Zhu Youwen could only respond loudly: "The king has sent people from the East Capital Resident Office to mobilize the imperial guards..."

"No one else can be trusted!" Cui Yu shouted.

In fact, it was not only Cui Yu who had this feeling. Zhu Youwen also had an indescribable illusion. There were already enough variables in what happened tonight.

First, the riot broke out, and then they captured the so-called loyalist army in the city and went to Prince Jun's Mansion to capture Zhu Youzhen, but found that the entire Prince Jun's Mansion was already in a mess. When they asked the eunuchs and servants who were trying to escape with property, they learned that someone had already abducted Zhu Youzhen.

And then, Xiao Yan, who should have had little power in the city, became the biggest variable tonight. Controlling the imperial city, leading the rebel army, and kidnapping Zhu Wen and Zhu Youzhen, all of which were done by Xiao Yan first. Not to mention the forged edict, even Zhu Youwen, who had planned a mutiny, was frightened. Is there anything that Xiao Yan can't do?
What's a mutiny? In front of Xiao Yan, Zhu Youwen is not worthy of being called a traitor!
Zhu Youwen was in a mess and was about to respond, but then he noticed that the faces of everyone around him changed drastically. Looking up, he was also shocked.

However, they saw that it was nearly a thousand cavalrymen on the north side of Longjin Bridge. After roaring in response, they immediately urged their mounts. As soon as they crossed the Longjin Bridge, the front team suddenly changed from a horizontal formation of rows of vertical columns to a cone formation with lances under their arms, armor and sharp weapons. In a blink of an eye, they could feel the rise and fall of countless horses' hooves, heavily hitting the long street running north and south of Bianliang. There were only seven or eight hundred cavalrymen, but they rushed towards the tens of thousands of people without hesitation with the momentum of trampling on ten thousand troops.

The Hebei Armored Cavalry has always been a powerful weapon under Xiao Yan. After annihilating the Flying Tiger Army under Li Cunxu in Hebei a year ago, all the captured good horses and armor were used to equip Ding Badu's heavy cavalry.

Afterwards, these armored cavalry followed Xiao Yanbei across the grassland, fighting countless battles. They had long since been trained into the world's best steel torrent. When they were caught in the battle, the seven or eight hundred cavalry had already become excited and violent. The war horses they were sitting on neighed loudly, and their heavy hooves trampled out sparks between the stone slabs. White steam kept spewing out from under the horse's mask armor.

There was only a hundred steps between the two armies except for the Longjin Bridge. As soon as Ding Badu crossed the bridge, the distance was shortened infinitely.

But even in such a short distance, the entire armored cavalry had completed the formation change in an orderly manner. The speed of the horses was greatly increased after just a few dozen steps. Countless weapons stretched out from the layers of cold armor, and the first dozens of horse lances were still stained with blood. Just like that, with a command from Xiao Yan, they were like a killing machine, and without even reorganizing or preparing, they rushed into the chaotic army with murderous intent.

Zhu Youwen was only stunned for a moment, and he seemed to be able to see the numerous knife marks on the armor of the leading armored cavalry, but he was immediately awakened by Cui Yu's shouting.

"Your Highness, retreat immediately! Come, protect Your Highness. Anyone who captures and kills one of the bandits will be rewarded with a thousand strings of cash!"

The crowd surged, and Zhu Youwen was immediately carried by Cui Yu to escape behind the chaotic army, while the chaotic army just shot a rain of arrows in panic, but what was terrifying was that it was only a distance of twenty or thirty steps, and those arrows did not even leave a white mark on the armored cavalry.

With just this one look, the rebel soldiers in the front no longer cared about the huge reward of thousands of taels of silver. Even if it was worth tens of thousands of taels, they would rather live to take it. They simply dropped their weapons and ran away. Those who could not run immediately knelt down and begged for surrender. The people behind did the same. They all panicked and tried to get into the crowd behind. Those who still had a trace of consciousness used their hands and feet to disperse from both sides, some climbed over the wall, some covered their heads and huddled in the ground, just to leave the way for these gods of death.

Thousands of roars suddenly broke out, and at the moment when countless chaotic soldiers were crushed, they burst into a cry of extreme fear. The sound was so loud that even Zhu Wen, who was hiding deep in the imperial city, jumped up instantly. He felt that the heaven and earth seemed to be shaking, and everything in the world would collapse at any time under this cry of fear.

On the Suzaku Gate, Jing Xiang and Zhu Youzhen were also staring at everything in front of them in amazement. Once the steel torrent under the city started, it rushed south with a bang. In just a moment, the chaotic army was filled with blood. Countless people knelt on both sides of the road in panic, and those armored cavalrymen simply ignored these people. The torrent rolled past them, and in the middle of the road, there was only a river of blood.

Thousands of people collapsed in just a moment.

Jing Xiang had been with Zhu Wen and had seen many big scenes. He had even seen many more people collapse, but he remained silent. Zhu Youzhen next to him was in great pain. His face turned pale and he felt as if his breathing was being strangled. He didn't even dare to look at Xiao Yan who was standing by the city wall with his knife in his hand.

Xiao Yan had a look of indifference. The collapse of tens of thousands of soldiers under the city did not change his expression at all. This was not unexpected and was not a surprise.

Armored cavalry is not actually invincible in this era. It has many limitations and consumes a lot of money and food. The normal consumption of an armored cavalry can support three or five ordinary light cavalry. It cannot be deployed under any conditions on the battlefield. The cost-effectiveness is below the expectations of many people.

However, the deterrent power of armored cavalry is unique in the era of cold weapons.

Such a human-shaped fortress is difficult to penetrate with swords and spears, and difficult for sharp arrows to penetrate. The only way is to hit the vital points with blunt weapons, or to form a formation of heavily armored infantry to meet the enemy, first use hard crossbows to assist in the attack, and then use the death soldiers in the formation to rush forward with sabers and axes to cut off the horses' legs, and then throw such armored cavalry off and capture and kill them with sharp blades.

But how could these elite troops who could stand their ground in the face of armored cavalry be comparable to the chaotic army in the city tonight? Of course, there were some, but Zhu Youwen had gathered so many people that it was difficult for them to even form a formation, let alone charge in and risk their lives to confront the armored cavalry head-on?
The tens of thousands of imperial guards outside the city certainly include such elite warriors who dare to fight, and they are also equipped with equipment that can threaten armored cavalry, but don’t they have no chance of entering the city?

So tonight in the city of Bianjing, these only seven or eight hundred armored cavalry are like nuclear weapons, killing their way from the south of the city to the north, and then from the north to the south. As long as there is endless manpower and horsepower, they will rampage on the streets. The armored soldiers cooperate with each other tacitly, and they are truly invincible!
Countless torches fell, sparks flew everywhere, and every soldier shouted an earth-shaking scream that echoed in all directions in the city. The capital of Daliang, which was the most prosperous and densely populated city in the world, had completely lost its former glory. The whole city seemed to be trembling under Xiao Yan's feet.

Xiao Yan didn't have any emotion at all, he just held his sword and watched the tragic scene indifferently.

Now that he has come to this point, what he has done has nothing to do with fault. Whether it is a wrong killing or a letting go, no one can stop him from ascending to the pinnacle of power after tonight.

Not to mention the city of Bianjing, after tonight, he will make this entire chaotic world tremble under his feet.

"Pass the order."

Without even turning his head, Xiao Yan calmly watched the chaos he had led begin to come to an end, and said calmly: "The Guide Army will take control of the city defense, but if the city gate guards disobey orders, or if the rebels inside and outside the city rush into the city gate, they will be killed without mercy. Dingba outside the city will not move, and if there is anything unusual in the Jinshui camp of the Imperial Army, just drive them back to the camp, and do not fight without permission."

"Yes." A soldier behind him ignored Jing Xiang and the others, clasped his fists and saluted, then immediately walked down the city wall with his sword in hand.

Jing Xiang stammered, but Xiao Yan smiled at him and then saluted Zhu Youzhen, whose face was pale.

"I beg Your Majesty to come and see the death of the rebels."

Zhu Youzhen shuddered all over, and immediately saluted with his hands crossed, and said hurriedly: "It's all up to the general..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jing Xiang, moved closer to Xiao Yan, and whispered, "General, if you and I leave the imperial city, our father will..."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, just rest assured."

Zhu Youzhen heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing the defeated army fleeing everywhere outside the imperial city, he suddenly realized that the throne seemed to have really fallen on his head. He was trembling all over again and hurriedly said to Xiao Yan: "General, General, after tonight, as long as you kill Zhu Youwen and Zhu Yougui, I will never treat you unfairly!"

In his words, he promised directly: "After the success, in addition to the Tiance General and the Grand Marshal of the Army, I will also be promoted to the governor of the three towns, the inspector of the Grand Commandant, the King of Song, the Prime Minister, the commander-in-chief of all military forces at home and abroad, and..."

"Your Majesty, it won't be too late to talk about this after the chaos is settled." Xiao Yan said calmly, "As for the current situation, Your Majesty should have witnessed the execution of the traitors with your own eyes."

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurried to walk down the tower. However, after hesitating for a moment, he extended his hand and said with a flattering smile, "General, go first."

Xiao Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to Jing Xiang who was standing beside him in a daze: "Mr. Jing, please."

Jing Xiang glanced at Zhu Youzhen coldly, flicked his sleeves, and walked straight down.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two people walking in front and smiled awkwardly. Then he saw two soldiers following them. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it and just kept comforting himself.

The general is protecting me, protecting me...

I……

Zhu Youzhen kept chewing on this word in his mind, and then he felt very pleased. I never thought that I would use this word one day, Father, even you wouldn't have thought of it, hahahaha!
------

The eyes of the Hades Emperor Zhu Yougui turned red.

He forced Baguo to take him to find Zhu Youwen, but they were only halfway there. Even though Zhu Yougui had forced Baguo to lead the way as quickly as possible, before they reached Longjin Bridge, they instantly saw the scene of thousands of people collapsing.

Countless people were fleeing, and wherever you looked, there were heads everywhere. To the north of the long street running from north to south, more than a thousand armored cavalry were divided into three columns, with two hundred cavalry in each column, and they took turns to crush all the chaotic troops blocking the street and chased after Zhu Youwen.

Just now when Zhu Youwen was approaching the Suzaku Gate, he was accompanied by ceremonial guards and large flags, but now they have all been discarded. However, no matter how he fled, whether to the east or the west, the armored cavalry behind him just kept chasing him.

There was no longer any obstruction behind Zhu Youwen's escape. Countless people were trampled under the horses' hooves along the way. No matter if you were a general of the imperial guards or a noble civil official, as long as you stood in front of the horses' hooves, you would die.

There were shouts everywhere in the chaotic army: "King Bo's army has been defeated! King Bo's army has been defeated! All the troops should surrender to General Tian Ce, and General Tian Ce will only kill King Bo's followers..."

These were the bad guys who had been hiding in the chaotic army. They had gathered troops from all over and surrounded Zhu Youwen, waiting for this moment. There were many shouts like this. The chaotic army, which had already lost its morale, would certainly not support any bullshit King Bo at this moment. Most of the imperial guards mixed in them just scattered.

The armored cavalry behind him were approaching straight at him. Just a touch and Zhu Youwen's back was filled with people kneeling on the ground. Many of the imperial guards who had taken advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble just dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"Don't kill him, don't kill the Hebei men! We have surrendered to the general! We will support the new emperor together with the general! Really don't kill him!!"

But even so, a large group of people still gathered around Zhu Youwen. Since they were all core members of the Ghost King's party, they naturally knew that Zhu Youwen had already infiltrated the Imperial Guards.

Everyone believed that the current rout was only a temporary setback. Once His Royal Highness Prince Bo arrived at the Jinshui camp under their protection, once the imperial troops entered the city to quell the rebellion, once they captured the imperial city and killed Xiao Yan, everything would be fine!

Even Cui Yu and others had the same idea. They fled in panic, but they still went west. Because the Jinshui camp was in the west of Bianjing City, they had already sent people to control the Guzi Gate in the west city. They could enter the camp and control the situation a few miles out of the city.

However, some generals of the imperial guards who were still tightly trapped in the team by Cui Yu and his gang were suffering terribly at this moment.

These people, such as Niu Cunjie, He Gui, Yuan Xiangxian and other powerful generals of the imperial guards who were invited out of their homes by the rebel army, were forced to join the army before, but because they knew in advance that Zhu Youwen had some small moves, they were not too surprised. Except for some people who thought that Zhu Youwen's so-called loyal army was a mob, they tacitly followed and supported Zhu Youwen's uprising.

But after several changes, these generals completely regretted their decision and rushed to leave the chaotic army. However, Cui Yu only said one sentence to them: "At this point, all the generals have already boarded this ship. There is no reason to turn back. Later, you will help His Highness control the imperial guards. In the new dynasty, you will still have great wealth and honor. But if anyone dares to abandon His Highness without permission, don't blame His Highness for not remembering our friendship!"

Generals like Niu Cunjie had followed Zhu Wen in battles for decades and were certainly loyal to him, but they did not have much psychological burden to turn their weapons against Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen was too cruel in recent years, and he forced many meritorious officials to death. Besides, it was an internal struggle among the royal family, so whoever sat on the throne didn't matter. With Zhu Youwen ascending to the throne, he might be able to go further. I'm afraid that everyone would only have one prince.

But now that Zhu Youwen is about to fail, who would follow him on his way to death?
Niu Cunjie and others were all angry, but they were suddenly forced out of their homes tonight, without any useful men around them, so they could only succumb to Cui Yu's threats. Along the way, they had already hated Zhu Youwen and others to death.

What was even more depressing was that Liu Xun had managed to escape by chance, hiding somewhere and not being caught by the chaotic army. They were the only ones forced to flee with Zhu Youwen. "Your Highness, look!"

They didn't know how long they had been running. As the sky was getting brighter, they looked up in panic, only to see that the Guzi Gate of the west city was tightly closed. Barricades and other equipment had already been set up at the foot of the city, and on the city walls stood armored soldiers, even several crossbows, and countless arrows, including bows and crossbows, had already been aimed at Zhu Youwen's nearly a thousand men.

As for the soldiers under the Guzi Gate, the ground was already littered with corpses. The soldiers guarding the Guzi Gate and the soldiers from the Dongdu Liaison Office all fell in a pool of blood, dead as a whole.

The chaotic army looked at each other in bewilderment, the staff and ministers broke out in cold sweats, and all their eyes were on Zhu Youwen.

Zhu Youwen's mind was completely blank. He tightly grasped the reins and could not say anything. He just grabbed Cui Yu's arm and said, "Lord Cui, Lord Cui, what's going on?"

Cui Yu was even more unable to answer. He was just horrified to find that at this moment, all the people around who were protecting Zhu Youwen were in complete chaos. They were anxiously discussing with each other, but everyone was at a loss. From time to time, core members of the Ghost King's party looked around in panic, obviously ready to escape at any time!

"Look! It's Yu Zhong from the Guide Army!" Someone suddenly pointed at the top of the city wall and shouted.

Zhu Youwen and everyone else looked over and saw Yu Zhong, the infantry commander of the Guide Army, standing in armor with a stern face and holding a sword. Beside him, a scholar walked out, waving a feather fan and also just laughing loudly.

"Your Excellency has sent your servant here to wait for you for a long time."

The crowd was in chaos.

"Who is this? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"

"Idiot, this guy is Han Yanhui, the aide of Xiao Yan! Damn it, the ones on the city wall are Guide Army!"

"God damn it! Didn't the Guide Army go north? Why are they here?!"

More than a thousand chaotic soldiers were suddenly at a loss. Among them were Zhu Youwen's staff, who stared at Han Yanhui's high-spirited appearance, feeling as if their whole bodies were crawling with ants.

Han Yanhui was obviously just a scholar from Hebei, a low-ranking figure in the court. In the past, who among those present did not have a higher official position than him?

But I'm afraid that after tonight, Xiao Yan's top aide will really become as powerful as the ministers of the six ministries...

Is this the result of following the right person?
Is this the plan of Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Guanjun, who was oppressed, feared by Zhu Wen, and excluded by the court?

So, the prince they followed was obviously extremely powerful, with followers throughout the court and the imperial guards. He obviously had all the conditions in place and was only one step away from winning it all.

Those who followed Zhu Youwen ended up being worse than the insignificant Han Yanhui.

Before tonight, how many people knew Han Yanhui, Yu Zhong and others?
But after tonight, the names of Han Yanhui and Yu Zhong will surely be known throughout the world, but how many people will still recognize these prodigal dogs?
Zhu Youwen finally turned pale, trembling a little on the horse, with cold hands and feet. He looked around, but saw that no one around him dared to look at him.

Cui Yu's face also turned pale, but he could not utter a word. Since the Guide Army had not yet marched north, it was obvious that Xiao Yan had already had some plans. It was ridiculous that this Ghost King and his gang were still vowing to hold the emperor hostage and kill Xiao Yan.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind the rebel army, which was quietly dispersing and the rebel army, less than a thousand people, turned back in panic.

Not far behind, at the street corner, the crowd scattered like crazy. Some people simply knelt on the side of the road and kowtowed. The entire messy street was squeezed for a hundred steps before it finally stopped. This also made Zhu Youwen's side even more crowded and chaotic.

Now that the sky was bright, countless people saw rows of armored cavalry pouring in from the corner at the end of the street. The first row of armored soldiers were covered in blood and dirt, but even so, these fully armored cavalrymen still had a strict formation. They immediately dispersed, and three riders came out under the protection of dozens of armored soldiers.

As for the indifferent and handsome young man who was holding the reins in one hand and riding his horse alone in the front, he was of course Xiao Yan, and could only be Xiao Yan.

After tonight, who can walk ahead of him? Who is qualified to be on par with him?

Jing Xiang followed silently behind. Zhu Youzhen simply didn't dare to do it, but his face was extremely excited, and he stared at Zhu Youwen in the crowd as if he was eager to try.

The two armies confronted each other, and Xiao Yan was probably only thirty steps away from Zhu Youwen, but the rebel army did not make any sound at all. Xiao Yan glanced indifferently at all the rebel soldiers, squeezed his horse's belly and rushed forward.

With just this insignificant action, the rebel army was forced to retreat with a bang. The row of imperial guards who were squeezed at the front by the crowd could not bear the pressure, and they bowed down with pale faces, not daring to look at Xiao Yan.

At this time, people seemed to finally realize that this young man, who was said to be romantic and passionate, good at doing tricks to please the emperor, but known to the world as a jester, had come to this night step by step, and it seemed that in just three years, he would completely subvert the Daliang Empire.

But this young man is just a young man, will he really stop here?

"Xiao Yan!"

Suddenly, Zhu Youwen pointed at Xiao Yan, whom no one dared to look at, and laughed wildly, "How dare you, a traitor and a jester, spy on the world? Don't worry about what will happen tonight. You can cover the sky with one hand in Daliang! It's not your turn to call the shots in this world! Yang Shihou, Xie Yanzhang, Kang Huaiying, Ge Congzhou... just wait, just wait! You will die more miserably than me, more miserably than me!"

He knew he was going to die, and that he could not escape this fate if he didn't die now, so of course he had to make a last-ditch struggle.

Xiao Yan tapped the hilt of the knife at his waist intermittently, ignoring Zhu Youwen who was yelling and cursing, and just asked in a calm voice.

"That being the case——"

"Everyone, are you willing to bow down to the new emperor?"

The street seemed to be silent for a moment, even Zhu Youwen widened his eyes in disbelief, and then stared around intently, viciously, and cruelly.

But no one looked at him, and no one would look at him at this time.

Almost at this moment, in the midst of the chaotic army, one of Zhu Youwen's most trusted confidants, a scholar who was a big shot in the Ministry of Personnel, simply kowtowed heavily and shouted excitedly.

"I am willing to follow the general and support the new emperor!"

After he kowtowed, his whole body could not help but tremble, and he did not dare to look at his colleagues on both sides.

Fortunately, the second and third ones soon followed, and then in just a blink of an eye, a large group of Gu Zi's disciples bowed down.

"We, the servants, are willing to follow the general!"

In an instant, Zhu Youwen looked around in confusion and found that there was no one around him except Cui Yu and a few of his close associates who were deeply involved with him and had criticized Xiao Yan the most in the court in the past.

Even Niu Cunjie and other generals of the imperial guards who were involved in the incident, who had never taken Xiao Yan seriously in the past, now bowed down submissively.

Xiao Yan stood alone in front of the army, silent for a moment.

Zhu Youwen finally reacted, and pointed around in a daze, laughing like a madman out of anger.

"You, you..."

"waste!"

Suddenly, a sharp laugh was heard, and everyone trembled all over. Looking up, they saw a dwarf with a purple body standing on a roof on the north side of the long street with his hands behind his back. He first glanced at Zhu Youzhen with disdain, and then looked down at Xiao Yan.

It is worth mentioning that there was a girl with a dark blue face next to him. She was obviously being held hostage. However, she looked like she had some foreign blood and did not look like a pure Han Chinese.

Looking at the dwarf, Zhu Youzhen almost subconsciously felt fear, but in just a moment, he started laughing crazily: "Zhu Yougui! Zhu Yougui! You have spent all these years trying to do something in vain, but in the end you got nothing! Aren't you also a waste? Aren't you also a waste?"

Zhu Yougui on the roof smiled coldly, and did not immediately execute Zhu Youzhen. Instead, he squinted at Xiao Yan in front of the army.

"Xiao Yan, I will give you a chance."

"If you kill Zhu Youzhen behind you right now, I will allow you to vent your anger on Zhu Youwen, the loser. I know your grievances very well. If it weren't for Zhu Youwen's criticism, I believe you wouldn't have come to this point. Who wouldn't admire the title of Champion Marquis? If you bow down to me, I will allow you to be crowned king, command all military forces, and give you the entire Hebei area to do whatever you want. After that, you and I will sweep the world together, isn't it wonderful?"

As he spoke, he stood with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "I can also allow you to conquer a country in the future, and then take half of that country's foundation for yourself. As long as you are willing to accept me as the emperor, I will keep my word!"

As a result, not to mention Zhu Youwen and Cui Yu and everyone else, even Zhu Youzhen was shocked and frightened. He quickly took a step back, but was surrounded by two soldiers on the left and right.

Zhu Yougui is such a generous guy!

It was obvious that half of the world was allocated to Xiao Yan!
In the chaos, He Guangtu, the eldest son of He Gui, was lying on the ground with his head bowed, dumbfounded. He then murmured to his father: "To fight for power, one should be like the Marquis of Guanjun... Father, if you had listened to your son that day, Han Yanhui and Yu Zhong would be you and me tonight..."

He Gui's mouth was full of bitterness, how could he have known that Xiao Yan could be so courageous, and now even the Underworld Emperor was willing to offer great wealth and status to Xiao Yan, and was afraid that Xiao Yan would not accept it.

This is really asking for it.

Don’t be fooled by Zhu Yougui’s tone of being the boss, but the situation is such that no matter how he pretends, he can’t change the facts before him - Xiao Yan really can decide who the emperor will be!
He Gui only whispered to his eldest son: "Don't say too much. After tonight, no matter what happens, you must go to General Yu Zhongyu first. Will the general show mercy? Whether my He family can keep its status depends on you..."

He Guangtu was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head. He knew that after tonight, he would never see Yu Zhong again. He just sighed and said, "King of Hebei... Will the general accept the title of king of this half of the country?"

Not only this father and son, but everyone on this long street, including Zhu Youwen, Zhu Youzhen, and Jing Xiang, all stared at Xiao Yan without daring to breathe.

As for the Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui, of course he just stood with his hands behind his back, extremely confident.

Of course he is confident. Doesn't he know that I am already invincible in the world?
Under the spotlight of everyone, Xiao Yan just thought seriously for a moment, and when Zhu Youzhen behind him called out "General, General" in a pleading and crying voice, he smiled and pointed at Zhu Yougui with his horsewhip.

"Since I can conquer this world, why should I give you half of it?"
