Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 369 Return to Jiangnan
Although Zhai Jiao's description was very vague, Huang Sixi still guessed that the evil villain she was talking about was the evil king Shi Zhixuan.

Huang Sixi had always known that Shi Zhixuan disguised himself as a great Zen master from Wulou Temple and had been lurking in the capital for many years. After Huang Sixi entered the city, he went to the temple specifically to look for Shi Zhixuan, but did not find him.

Now Shi Zhixuan suddenly appeared. It might be because the spiritual energy of the evil emperor's relics leaked two days ago. The monk of Wulou Temple sent the news to Shi Zhixuan outside the city, and he rushed over temporarily.

Of course, it is also possible that Shi Zhixuan opened a secret underground palace in Wulou Temple and was always waiting for an opportunity under Huang Sixi's nose, but he hid himself and escaped Huang Sixi's search.

Huang Sixi understood that Shi Zhixuan only wanted the Evil Emperor's relic and would never stay in the capital. He would escape far away after robbing it.

At this moment, Shi Zhixuan should have escaped out of the city, and would return to the city after Kankan and Shi Qingxuan lost track of him.

Huang Sixi did not pursue her. He waved his hand at Zhai Jiao and said, "Go back to the inn and wait. Don't run around."

Zhai Jiao was originally worried that Kankan and Shi Qingxuan might be in danger, but Huang Sixi had already returned. She knew that the two nuns would be safe, so she obeyed the order and left.

Huang Sixi signaled Song Que to go into the temple together.

Seeing that Huang Sixi didn't take the matter to heart, Song Que thought the situation shouldn't be serious, so he didn't ask any further questions.

The two of them went straight to the stream at the back mountain.

Huang Sixi pointed at the canal and said, "There are three entrances and exits to Yang Gong's treasury in the city, and one of them is under the canal!"

“How big is the entrance?”

“It can accommodate one or two people!”

"It's too small. Three thousand soldiers are entering the city this time, and we have to launch a surprise attack at night. If we let them float up from the bottom of the water, we can only transport a few hundred people in an hour, and we won't be able to transport them all by dawn. It will also easily alert the monks of Wulou Temple! Where are the other two entrances and exits?"

"One was opened in the well of Xiji Garden of Dugu Clan, and the other was opened in the rockery of Sha Mansion!"

"Have you checked the terrain?"

"There are hundreds of people living in Xiji Garden, led by Dugu clan's top expert You Chuhong, who is personally in charge, with many guards. If three thousand soldiers show up in Xiji Garden, their tracks will definitely be exposed!"

Once their tracks are exposed, they will be sniped by the imperial guards in the city.

Song Que's three thousand soldiers were all carefully trained warriors. Their role was to take over the order of the capital after abducting King Dai Yang You. If the casualties of the three thousand soldiers were too high, Song Que's control over the capital would be weakened.

Therefore, Huang Sixi and Song Que had to ensure that they captured the palace without bloodshed. They had to capture Prince Dai Yang You before the imperial guards had assembled.

To be on the safe side, the entrances and exits of the Wulou Temple Creek and the Xijiyuan Well are all unusable.

Huang Sixi pointed in the direction of the Sha Mansion and said, "The Sha family is the richest in Luoyang. The core members of their family are all doing business in Luoyang. The mansion is very large, but there are relatively few people living in it. Before the troops enter the city, we can control all the people in the mansion first, so that the action can be silent."

Song Que immediately suggested: "Let's go to the Sha Mansion and take a look!"

The two men's martial arts were unrivaled in the world, and they were both top-notch masters. Even when they were investigating the Sha Mansion during the day, no one noticed them.

After leaving the Sha Mansion, the two sneaked to the imperial palace and the imperial guards' garrison, and repeatedly discussed the route of action.

After the two of them had agreed on all the details of the operation, Song Que and Huang Sixi temporarily separated and left the city to meet up with Song Yuzhi.

Tonight, Song Que will lead three thousand soldiers and horses to station them in Yang Gong's treasury. He will then use the treasury as the command center and wait for an opportunity to seize the imperial city.

It was almost dusk when Huang Sixi returned to the inn. After tracking down Shi Zhixuan in vain, Kankan went back to the guest room to wait for him, but Shi Qingxuan was nowhere to be seen.

Wan Wan waited for Huang Sixi to sit down beside her before she raised her pretty face and said with a worried look, "My dear, the evil emperor's relic was stolen by Shi Zhixuan. Sister Xuan and I went to chase him before, but we lost his trail in a forest outside the city. I asked Sister Xuan to come back first and think of a solution after seeing my dear, but she was unwilling..."

Huang Sixi had expected that Kankan and Shi Qingxuan could not catch up with Shi Zhixuan.

Huang Sixi didn't want Qianqian to be troubled by the loss of the relic, so he comforted her first: "There is not much essence left in the relic. It doesn't matter if you can't get it back. Just lose it!"

Then he asked, "Is Qingxuan determined to find Shi Zhixuan?"

Wan Wan nodded: "Sister Xuan said that Shi Zhixuan has stolen one of your precious swords, and now he has taken the evil emperor's relic. If she doesn't find these two treasures, she won't be able to explain to you, and she won't be able to see you again!"

If Shi Qingxuan was the only one tracking behind, Shi Zhixuan might stop and wait, intentionally letting Shi Qingxuan catch up.

Shi Zhixuan felt guilty about Bi Xiuxin's accidental death. He would definitely take care of Shi Qingxuan along the way and not let her encounter any danger.

Huang Sixi is about to go to the Western Regions, but Shi Qingxuan has already decided not to follow him and to return to her hometown.

Now that Shi Zhixuan is accompanying Shi Qingxuan, it is actually the perfect choice. From now on, Huang Sixi will no longer have to worry about Shi Qingxuan's safety when he is traveling far away.

Thinking of this, Huang Sixi said to Qianqian, "Shi Zhixuan is Qingxuan's biological father. Even if he doesn't pass on the Heaven Blade and the Evil Emperor's Relic to Qingxuan, at least he won't harm her. The situation in the world will change drastically soon. There's nothing wrong with her following Shi Zhixuan!"

Xuanxuan's slightly frowned brows relaxed.

She gave Huang Sixi a gentle smile and curiously asked, "What changes will the situation in the world have? Is the Li clan's army approaching the city?"

Huang Sixi said: "From now on, the Li family may never be able to come to the capital again!"

He told Kankan about his meeting with Song Que.

Wan Wan's beautiful eyes were surprised when she heard this: "It is said that Tian Dao Song Que is an extraordinary martial artist, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous. His leading his troops into the capital this time is like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth!"

Now people inside and outside the capital are in a panic. Everyone believes that the Li family will enter the palace. Unexpectedly, the Song family suddenly intervenes and comes all the way to intercept. If this news gets out, it will definitely shock everyone in the world.

Huang Sixi held onto Qianqian's soft, boneless jade hand and told her, "We need to sneak into Yang Gong's treasury, open a secret passage into the city for the Song clan's troops, and help the Song clan control the capital!"

Xianxian suddenly became nervous: "My dear, the Song family trusts you so much and values you so much that they are willing to support you in overthrowing the tyrannical Sui Dynasty. Is it because of that Song family lady?"

During the day, Zhai Jiao talked nonsense, saying that Huang Sixi and the lady from the Song family only had a business relationship.

But judging from the current situation, would the business relationship make the Song clan bet all their assets on Huang Sixi? No matter how Xianxian looked at it, she felt that Huang Sixi and the Song clan were like father-in-law and son-in-law.

Huang Sixi took out the leather bag from his waist, held the sleeping little dragon in his palm, and said with a smile: "The Song clan is willing to seize the capital at all costs because of Long Er. The one they really support is Long Er, not me!"

Wan Wan Yurong said bitterly: "Long'er doesn't understand human affairs. There is no gain from supporting it. Only by supporting you can you get rich rewards! After you help the Song family occupy the capital, will the Song family also help you become the emperor?"

She thought of the weapons and treasures in Yang Gong's treasury, which were perfect for recruiting armed forces.

Huang Sixi first opened Yang Gong's treasury, and then joined forces with the Song clan's troops. It seemed as if he had planned to attack the capital city in advance.

In fact, whether it was to attack the capital or to dominate the world, Qianqian would support Huang Sixi wholeheartedly. She was willing to listen to Huang Sixi's advice even if it was embarrassing. But she didn't want Huang Sixi to hide anything from her about the marriage with the Song family's wife. She was worried.

Huang Sixi only needed one sentence to make her understand that the arrival of the Song family was an unexpected event that Huang Sixi could not have predicted. Compared to the lady of the Song family, Huang Sixi always placed her in the most important position in his heart.

Huang Sixi said: "After the Song clan takes control of the capital, I will still set off for the Western Regions. This plan will never change!"

Wan Wan was surprised: "My dear, why did you work so hard to help the Song clan capture the capital? Are you trying to help the Song clan?"

Huang Sixi said frankly: "If the Song clan occupies the capital and shows their talent to seize the world, I am willing to help them. After all, they are the only clan that respects the Han Dynasty! You have been with me for so long, you should be able to feel that I really have no interest in being an emperor. It is far more fun to watch you dance!"

After hearing this, Kanan already knew that Huang Sixi would not do anything to make her sad in order to gain the support of the Song family.

She began to prepare Huang Sixi's journey to the Western Regions: "My dear, now is the autumn of troubled times. The current situation may push you into a situation of lack of interest! What if the Song family is unable to bear the heavy responsibility in the future and is unable to wipe out the heroes of the world, and you are still needed to clean up the mess, you must prepare for the rainy day!"

Wan Wan stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed downwards: "The weapons and treasures in Yang Gong's treasury cannot be handed over to the Song clan for allocation. You'd better think of a way to hide all the treasures in the treasury, and then open a secret passage for Song Que's soldiers and horses!"

Huang Sixi agreed with her suggestion: "There are two Yang Gong treasure houses, the real one and the fake one. We just need to move the weapons and treasures into the fake one, and then reset the mechanism and it will be safely sealed!"

After transporting Song Que's 3,000 soldiers into the city and successfully capturing the capital, Huang Sixi will make a major renovation of Yang Gong's treasury and redesign the structure of the internal trap.

The mechanism set up by Huang Sixi could not be opened in a short period of time even if Lu Miaozi came in person.

When Kankan heard that Huang Sixi had already made arrangements, she stood up and walked forward, snuggling into Huang Sixi's arms.

Her rosy lips uttered a soft voice: "Xian'er doesn't want to leave my husband for a moment, but this time Xian'er can't accompany my husband to the Western Regions!"

Huang Sixi looked at her breath, which was like the warm breeze blowing under the rising sun in spring, making people intoxicated.

Huang Sixi placed the little dragon on the table, put his arm around her waist, and said jokingly, "Madam Qian, weren't you going to see the sights of the Western Regions? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Are you going to stay in Yang Gong's treasury and count the gold?"

Xianxian smiled lightly and patted Huang Sixi's chest lightly: "My dear, please don't make fun of Xian'er. Xian'er has important things to do!"

She decided to provide Huang Sixi with some support within her ability: "After my husband goes to the Western Regions, I don't know what kind of battles the Song Clan will have to go through with various forces in order to keep the imperial land of Guanzhong Plain. They probably don't have the spare energy to expand outward. My husband needs another foundation to support him, so I have to stay in the Central Plains to recruit soldiers for him!"

She didn't want Huang Sixi to be too closely tied to the Song family.

After all, Huang Sixi is alone. When he returns from the Western Regions in the future, if the Song clan fails to unify the world, they will definitely nominate Huang Sixi to lead the army. In order to strengthen their relationship with Huang Sixi, the Song clan will probably not tire of proposing a marriage alliance.

Kanan couldn't let Huang Sixi have only the Song clan as his choice.

If Xianxian could control another army, Huang Sixi would not have to pay attention to the Song clan's demands.

This is also what Xianxian is considering for her future.

Huang Sixi had long wanted Kankan to stay in Middle-earth, but he did not want Kankan to get involved in any war.

Huang Sixi made the following arrangement for Qian Qian: "After we capture the capital, you will return with me to Qianligang. There are a group of my students there. You will stay in Qianligang to teach them martial arts. When I come back from the Western Regions, you can lead them to recruit soldiers. It will not be too late!"

He supported her chin and gave her a final warning: "While I'm away, don't recruit soldiers on your own. I'm only concerned about your safety. If anything goes wrong with you, there's no point in conquering the country."

When Xianxian heard this confession, her heart felt as sweet as honey: "It seems that Xian'er is more important than the country. Then Xian'er will do nothing. It is better for Xian'er to follow my husband to the Western Regions!"

Huang Sixi disagreed: "I will be traveling day and night, and will be very tired. You are not suitable to accompany me. You should stay at Qianligang Academy and wait for me to come back!"

Xianxian agreed meekly: "Xian'er will take good care of herself and will never let you worry about me!"

She immediately asked, "Since you are in a hurry to get going, you don't have to send me to Qianligang. It will be the same if you let Zhai Jiao accompany me. Doesn't Zhai Jiao know the way?"

Huang Sixi raised his hand and stroked the little dragon: "Long'er has been in a coma for several days and has not woken up yet. Maybe we have to send it back to its birthplace before it can wake up and transform!"

Huang Sixi must wait until the little dragon wakes up before he can leave Middle-earth, because Song Que will hold a grand ceremony after conquering the capital, and in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he will let Huang Sixi show the real dragon to calm the people.

If the little dragon remained in a coma, outsiders would think it was a fake dragon, and even if it was displayed, it would not have any effect in spreading the word.

So Huang Sixi wanted to send the little dragon back to the Temple of War God and combine the original volume of "Cihang Sword Classic" at the same time.

Huang Sixi and Kankan discussed this and then sneaked into Yang Gong's treasure house together.

According to the plan, the two men moved all the weapons and treasures into the fake warehouse, and then took the underground secret passage to the outside of the city to pick up Song Que's troops.

That night.

Huang Sixi and Song Que first teamed up to capture more than ten of the highest-ranking commanders of the imperial guards in the capital. Then Song Que selected a group of trusted warriors and handed them over to Huang Sixi to disguise themselves.

These Song warriors changed their appearance and replaced the original position of the commander of the imperial guards, thereby taking control of the imperial guards' military power in the city.

After another night, Huang Sixi and Song Que teamed up again, broke into the palace directly, captured Dai Wang Yang You, and issued an imperial decree in the name of regent, transferring 3,000 Song clan soldiers to core positions in the palace, city gates and imperial guards.

At this point, the entire capital city fell into the hands of the Song clan.

Officials of all ranks in the capital soon got wind of the news. When they saw that all the usual guards had been replaced by new faces, they realized that a coup might have taken place and immediately contacted the commander of the imperial guards in the capital.

As a result, the commanders all said in unison: "The Li clan's offensive is fierce and they are about to reach the city. The original guards have been transferred outside the city to stop the Li clan's army!"

The officials were confused: "The Li clan's army is at the gates of the city? I haven't heard about it. Wasn't there a rumor a few days ago that the Li clan's army was still on the bank of the Yellow River and wouldn't be able to get through within half a month?"

The commander of the imperial guards immediately shouted angrily: "This is a military and national matter, don't ask around. In order to prevent spies from disrupting the city defense, the imperial city will be sealed off for half a month from today. All of you return home. Anyone who dares to run around will be arrested and imprisoned!"

The officials were driven back home, leaving only 3,000 warriors from the Song clan, who led the unofficial guards to strictly guard the defense of the capital.

Huang Sixi was no longer in the capital at this time. Accompanied by Song Yuzhi, he went to Chencang and went out of the pass to mobilize the backup troops led by Song clan leaders Song Zhi and Jie Wenlong.

After half a month, when tens of thousands of soldiers led by Song Zhi and Jie Wenlong took over the military power of the Sui army in various parts of the Guanzhong Plain, Song Que, who was stationed in the capital, finally stabilized his position completely and stepped out from behind the scenes.

This bloodless coup finally came to an end.

At this time, Song Que had already prepared for the coronation ceremony. He planned to establish Dai Wang Yang You as the emperor, respect Yang Guang as the emperor, and serve as the prime minister himself in order to fully control the Sui court affairs. However, the ceremony required the appearance of the little devil dragon to determine the situation in Guanzhong after the change of the reign.

The little dragon didn't wake up yet.

Huang Sixi said goodbye to Song Que, took Xianxian out of the capital, and rushed to Qianligang in the south of the Yangtze River.
