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

Chapter 347 Regent (V)

"This Lord, This Lord..."

Zhu Yougui's entire body was restrained by the suction force. He kicked wildly in the air with his short legs. His face was sinister and fierce. He just tried his best to release the evil spirit in his body. He even ignored the multiple wounds on his body. His eyes turned blood red in an instant.

"Jiang Chen, that bitch, bitch! Jiuyou Xuantian was created by me and her, on what basis, on what basis! How can an ant like you practice the complete upper and lower chapters!!"

He seemed to be filled with rage, his whole body was shaking violently, and there was murderous aura all around him. He managed to break free from Xiao Yan's restraints in an instant, but this struggle left Zhu Yougui covered in blood, looking extremely miserable.

But Zhu Yougui didn't care, as if he didn't feel any pain. He just struck Xiao Yan with his palms one after another, and it was like the howling of ghosts. Yin energy filled the air and instantly swept across half of the street. Everyone was frightened and retreated in panic. At the same time, they looked at the two people on the roof in fear and were instantly enveloped by the rolling Yin energy.

Among them was Zhu Yougui's continuous shrill laughter.

"So what if I have only learned half of it? Xuantian has been influenced by me for many years and has already reached the pinnacle of his art. Now he has reached a realm above the Great Heavenly Position. How can an ant like you catch up with him? So what if your internal strength is higher than mine? I can still kill you!"

The faces of everyone in Jingxiang on the long street changed. Even the so-called "Meng Po" became hesitant, unsure of what progress Zhu Yougui had made during his retreat.

On the Guzi Gate, Yu Zhong had an icy expression on his face and drew his sword from its sheath. Hundreds of armored cavalrymen on the long street also raised their weapons, as if they were about to rush into the rolling dark energy to assist Xiao Yan.

But at this moment, only several sounds of fighting were heard, and then a short figure suddenly jumped out from the yin energy to the west. During this time, he swung his black palm and killed two Xuanming sect ghosts who were unable to dodge in time in one breath. Then his body leaped up and down to the west, and he was about to rush directly to the city wall in a breath.

This guy is clearly trying to escape!
Han Yanhui, who had been solemn and silent, finally waved his feather fan and pointed at Zhu Yougui's figure in the distance.

"No matter what the cost, Zhu Yougui must be kept!"

“Hahaha, leave me here!?”

Zhu Yougui laughed wildly and said crazily, "Xiao Yan! And the surrendered ministers, and you ants, when I go to Luoyang to call the people to support the king, I will come back and kill you all one by one! Who dares to come and seek death if they want to keep me here!"

On the city wall, numerous huge shields were erected in an instant, with blades standing behind the shields. At the moment when Zhu Yougui was talking big, a huge rain of arrows was shot out.

Zhu Yougui slapped away a large number of arrows with one slap, but he was exhausted after all, and several sharp arrows still pierced his body. However, he seemed to have no sense of pain and ignored these arrows that penetrated into his flesh and blood. Although he was delayed for a moment by the rain of arrows, he had already flown out into the air with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was going to charge into the battle alone.

"Let him go."

Someone uttered these words in the midst of the yin energy, and with this word, the yin energy that had invaded most of the long street was suddenly swept away by a stream of light. Countless old friends of King Bo who were almost invaded by the yin energy, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for whether or not you can get away..."

Xiao Yan smiled, put two fingers together, and waved them in front of him. Immediately after that, the light that had just eliminated the yin energy floated over half of the city, shaking like heat waves in the air, and like wisps of fireflies, causing all the weapons hidden in their sheaths on the long street to begin to tremble.

"Zhu Yougui, do you really know what is above the Great Heavenly Position?"

At this moment, Zhu Yougui felt a chill in his heart and looked back in panic.

Not only him, but also the tens of thousands of people gathered in this half of the city, including Bago who had already fled far away, Jing Xiang, Han Yanhui, Yu Zhong, Zhong Xiaokui, Zhu Youzhen...all of them looked up.

In front of Xiao Yan, the outline of a long sword appeared.

"Raise your sword."

With just this one sound, cold light flashed in all directions. All the swords hidden in the sheaths on this long street were unsheathed. The sound was not only continuous but also dense, making countless people feel that the sky darkened in an instant.

Zhu Yougui looked back hastily and his face turned pale.

"Xiao Yan, I can..."

The last figure Zhu Yougui saw in his life did not show any movement at all, he just pressed down heavily with two trembling fingers.

"kill."

A white rainbow hung in the sky, enough to cover the sky and the sun.

When the white rainbow landed on the ground, everything was silent again.

Under Gu Zi's command, swords and knives were dug deep into the ground, still humming and trembling continuously. Amid the remaining sword energy, there was only a pool of blood and flesh.

Countless war horses neighed loudly, and everyone in the Guzi Gate just stared in amazement at the young man standing alone on the roof. Everyone's mind was blank.

Xiao Yan's internal energy was drained away, but he remained calm. He waved his hands to disperse the evil spirits on his body, looked at the bloody flesh of Gu Zi's disciple, and smiled, "What a great man who is invincible in the world."

At this time and in this situation, what else can I say?

Hundreds of armored cavalrymen held spears and lances on the city walls, and with a loud bang, countless soldiers suddenly burst into a huge cheer that resounded throughout the city, covering up everything in the world.

"General Tiance!"

"General Tiance!!"

------

Cheers rang out throughout the earth, and countless figures surged. No one continued to follow Zhu Youzhen and others. They just surrounded Xiao Yan tightly and protected him. Countless passionate eyes surrounded Xiao Yan.

Han Yanhui, who was walking down from the city wall, couldn't help but fan himself and laugh. At this moment, there were countless people who were willing to die for their lord.

And it seemed that at this moment, in the capital of Daliang, which had been in chaos for a whole night, all the restless, frightened people had lost their fear from the previous night, and now they all leaned out of the doors and windows, staring towards the direction of the west city.

Everyone knows that the master of Bianjing, the decision-maker of Daliang, and the winner of half of the world were born in this inexplicable chaos.

Thousands of people looked at Xiao Yan, who was closely guarded by the armored cavalry, with awe and admiration, looking at this young man who had reached the pinnacle of power in Daliang at this moment.

In the Daliang kingdom, he is the only one under the throne.

And the person on the throne...

No one would care, and no one would pay attention, whether it was Zhu Wen or Zhu Youzhen, everyone believed that, at least at this moment, everyone in this capital could only bow down to the feet of the young man in front of them, no matter how long this young man could maintain this power, even if it was only ten days or half a month, this young man was the undisputed dictator of this capital.

This was an era where the strong and powerful were in power, and it was also the only creed of this era. Not to mention that this young man had managed to gather all of this and gathered tens of thousands of people who were willing to die for him in just a few years.

The birth of a legendary figure will always be followed by countless die-hard fans. If this legend can go further and climb higher, then in this era, only his voice will remain, the only voice.

Xiao Yan calmly held the reins, his heart was exceptionally peaceful at this moment. He just smiled and nodded at the various fiery gazes on both sides, then rode towards Jing Xiang and Zhu Youzhen.

At this moment, Jing Xiang was stunned, and his mood was complicated. Although he knew that the country of Daliang would be turned upside down after he knew that Zhu Wen was held hostage by Xiao Yan at night, he still couldn't believe it until this moment. As for Zhu Youzhen, he was already very excited at this time. He saw with his own eyes that Zhu Yougui was killed by thousands of swords, and there was not even a complete body left. A big stone in his heart fell quietly, and he was already smiling with joy.

At this moment, if one only looked at Zhu Youzhen's appearance, no one would have thought that a few hours ago he was still hiding in the palace, crying and waiting to die while holding his mother's corpse.

Now that Ghost King Zhu Youwen and Hades Emperor Zhu Yougui are both dead, there is no longer any threat to the Zhu family except him. Isn't it the case that only he can sit on the throne?
The ups and downs of emotions that night made Zhu Youzhen feel that all the hardships of his life were nothing more than this. Now his thoughts were clear and his whole body felt light.

He looked around and saw Zhu Wen's nephew, the imperial guard general Yuan Xiangxian, and some of Prince Bo's old followers being supervised by the armored cavalry. He immediately said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, my dear ministers, you all alienated me in the past, oh no, you alienated me in the court. Do you know what I am like today?"

Beside them were Niu Cunjie, He Gui and other father and son, all waiting in the corner with sad faces. At this moment, they were just disdainful in their hearts. Even if Zhu Youzhen had a hundred courage, he would not be able to accomplish what happened tonight. His current state was really ridiculous.

But no one would expose Zhu Youzhen's vanity. Although Yuan Xiangxian's face turned pale, he just snorted coldly and said nothing. However, some of Bo Wang's old party members smiled apologetically at Zhu Youzhen.

"Your Majesty was a hidden dragon in the deep sea in the past. It was because we did not recognize the true dragon that we were bewitched by Zhu Youwen and Zhu Yougui. I hope Your Majesty can forgive our mistakes in the past. For Your Majesty, we will serve you until our death in the future..."

Zhu Youzhen was very proud and was about to pardon those people who had been ungrateful in the past. But of course it was not a real pardon. He wanted to remember these people one by one so that he could torture them slowly in the future. This was the fun of being an emperor.

"His Majesty."

The sound of horse hooves approached, and Xiao Yan held the reins on the horse's back and bowed perfunctorily, saying: "The traitors have all been executed, Your Majesty can rest in peace."

"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing!"

Zhu Youzhen didn't care about the old party of Prince Bo at this time. He immediately smiled happily, gave him a false support from a distance, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Qing is the pillar of the country. Without Xiao Qing, how can I be here today? I will leave all the country to Xiao Qing. Not to mention the military forces, even the political affairs of the court, Xiao Qing can make the decision. The friendship between Xiao Qing and I for many years should last forever and be passed down as a good story for thousands of years..."

Zhu Youzhen was not a fool. He knew whose leg he needed to cling to at the moment. How could he dare to curse Xiao Yan as he did last night when he was waiting to die in the palace? Of course, it did not mean that he did not have such thoughts. After all, whoever sat on the throne had to look at other people's faces, and they would wish that this person would die immediately.

But even though he was thinking this, his face was sincere as he continued to speak: "From now on, Xiao Qing, you don't need to perform formalities when you see me. You don't need to call your name when you praise me, you don't need to kneel when you enter the court, and you don't need to wear a sword when you enter the palace. Xiao Qing, I will treat you as a national hero!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously wanted to get closer to Xiao Yan, but when he glanced at him, he saw a horseman beside Xiao Yan holding the hilt of his sword. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly reined in his horse and said with an apologetic smile, "I have always kept in mind the promise I made to Xiao Qing in Luoyang."

Xiao Yan nodded and smiled indifferently, which was considered a response to all this nonsense. He just rode past Zhu Youzhen and looked at Niu Cunjie, He Gui and other generals of the imperial guards.

He Guangtu, the eldest son beside He Gui, looked ashamed and did not dare to look at Xiao Yan. However, his father He Gui laughed dryly, smiled apologetically and saluted, saying, "General, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more heroic..."

In fact, Xiao Yan had never even had a private meeting with these generals of the Imperial Guards, and they were just nodding acquaintances occasionally at court meetings. The generals of the Imperial Guards were all powerful figures, and Xiao Yan was just a rising star. Even if he was favored by the emperor, how could he be looked up to by the big bosses of the Imperial Guards who held military power?
Next to them, Niu Cunjie and Yuan Xiangxian were the people Zhu Youwen had contacted a few days ago. They both felt a little sympathetic at this moment, but as military men after all, they did not approach him immediately like He Gui did, but they also did not say anything about Xiao Yan's treasonous remarks.

In this era, it is normal for an inferior to commit crimes against his superiors. It's just that Xiao Yan is too shocking. But even if you look down on Xiao Yan, you know that the overall situation has been decided. Xiao Yan has 20,000 Guide troops under his command, plus those elite troops from Hebei. Although it is not known how many people there are exactly, it is at least around 10,000. With these 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers with sharp weapons and armor obeying Xiao Yan's orders, who in Bianjing can threaten him now?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan unexpectedly bowed to the generals and said calmly: "I know that you were all forced to come here by the rebel army. There were many reasons why you had to do so. You did not intentionally stand against the new emperor."

After hearing this, all the generals were stunned, and then they reacted immediately. They could tell that Xiao Yan was willing to show mercy, instead of taking advantage of the situation to kill all the threats. They immediately came down the stairs and said, "The general is wise. The traitors caused chaos. We were all helpless. If it weren't for the general's help in quelling the chaos, I'm afraid we would have a hard time clearing ourselves of this crime..."

Behind him, Zhu Youzhen stood there in shock, not understanding what Xiao Yan was going to do.

Jing Xiang seemed to be thinking about something, stroking his beard and looking at Han Yanhui who was standing next to him.

Han Yanhui crossed his arms and smiled at Jing Xiang, saying in a low voice: "Prime Minister Jing, my master is not a bloodthirsty person. This cleansing of the court and the country is not for the sake of the master's selfishness. Prime Minister Jing, please do not get too worried."

Jing Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything.

As for Xiao Yan, he just said to the generals in front of his mount: "Although the chaos has been settled, people's hearts are still not settled. You should help the new emperor to stabilize the government and the country, stabilize the imperial army, and ensure the stability of Daliang."

"Of course it should be so, of course it should be so." He Gui was the first to speak up: "General, you have thought it through, and I admire you."

Niu Cunjie and Yuan Xiangxian each had their own thoughts and had no time to despise He Gui for the time being. They just agreed.

"As for the rest."

Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Zhu Youzhen, saying, "Although your majesty has been ordered to inherit the throne, the emperor has also issued a decree, saying that your majesty's son is still young, and your majesty's brother Zhu Hanbin should be appointed as the prince. As for the emperor, I will welcome him and protect him to calm the people in the court and the public."

Zhu Youzhen's whole body stiffened.

What does Xiao Yan mean by this? What does this mean! He is clearly telling him that he can make him emperor or depose him. Xiao Yan wants to hold Zhu Wen in his hands openly and even make a piece of shit Zhu Hanbin a prince.

This Xiao Yan!
Zhu Youzhen laughed dryly, and before he could reply, Xiao Yan turned his horse around and said to the ministers, "You may have aided the tyrant or been coerced by the treacherous party. Your Majesty will not pursue your mistakes in the new policy. However, I have the responsibility to assist the emperor in governing the country. I will wait and see whether you can make up for your mistakes."

All the ministers, including Niu Cunjie and other generals of the imperial guards, trembled all over. They understood the hidden meaning behind Xiao Yan's words and prostrated themselves one after another.

"I will follow your Majesty and the General's orders..."

Xiao Yan then pinched the horse's belly.

"The city is in chaos. Please follow me to welcome the emperor and summon the ministers to discuss matters. We will calm the hearts of the imperial guards and stabilize the court to show that the country and the great dynasty are safe."

He turned around and asked Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, is this all right?"

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but shudder, then he quickly forced a smile and said, "I will do whatever Xiao Qing arranges. Xiao Qing's intention is what I want..."

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen carefully glanced around, but saw that the crowd just bowed their heads without any objection.

Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction, and said to Yu Zhong who followed behind him: "Pass the order, let the Guide Army take control of the entire city and temporarily replace the Eastern Capital's remaining power. Any rebellious troops harassing the people in the city will be captured and killed on the spot. The remnants of the traitors who are hiding will all be arrested and arrested. No one can escape!"

"Yes!" Yu Zhong was now in direct control of the power to govern the entire city. Even though he was excited, he did not show it too much. He just clasped his fists tightly on his horse and said, "The Guide Army will die for the general!"

Well, Zhu Youzhen just pretended he didn't hear it. He knew very well that he was already a puppet, and he was afraid that saying one more word would displease Xiao Yan.

"Han Yanhui."

Xiao Yan continued to give orders in front of all the officials: "You will take up the post of Kaifeng Prefecture immediately and replace the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. Summon several officials from Bianjing to the imperial city to meet the new emperor, and start arranging the abdication of the emperor."

Han Yanhui bowed solemnly and said, "I will obey the general's order."

Zhu Youzhen completely shut up. He was just a puppet, after all, he was the emperor...

Xiao Yan finally smiled again and swept his whip over the ministers: "I will go to greet the Supreme Lord. Are there any of you who are unwilling to follow me?"

The street was silent for a moment, and then suddenly, countless people rushed to speak: "We will obey the general's order!"
