Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"I don't want money anymore, I want to go home!"

The vibration of bowstrings, the piercing sound of arrows piercing flesh, and the screams and pleas for mercy of the mob all mixed together at this moment, like a solemn and murderous symphony.

Lu Xiaoliu clenched his fists, looked at the scene coldly, and sighed softly.

"I gave you a chance!"

Before the soldiers surrounded the Zhang family, he was just a happy little gangster. He used to either listen to music in brothels or wander around the streets. He had never seen such a large-scale killing.

Moreover, he personally ordered the killing, so how could he not be touched at all?

Although he felt deeply moved, Lu Xiaoliu had no intention of stopping when he saw the mob begging and screaming.

He knew that his brother-in-law was watching him. He wanted to be in power and hold a high position, so he couldn't be too soft-hearted!

Large groups of mobs were shot to death, but Lu Xiaoliu seemed not to have seen it at all. At this moment, he stood straight, stroking the Inspector's token in his hand, and looking towards the Zhang family mansion.

Inside the mansion, Zhang Yuan, the Minister of Rites, was trembling all over as he met Lu Xiaoliu's gaze.

Lu Xiaoliu just looked at him quietly and did not send troops to rush in and arrest him.

Looking at the cruel scene in the distance, Zhang Yuan let out a sigh, his face full of bitterness: "What a Xuanyi Guard! They are so unscrupulous and don't care about anything!"

Nearly 10,000 civilians were slaughtered on the long streets of the imperial capital. If it had happened when the old emperor was still in power, this would definitely have been a huge case that would have exposed the whole world.

But now, despite such a big event and such a big commotion, the imperial capital is silent, and all forces in the court have no reaction.

Zhang Yuan knew that the Zhang family was finished. They had been abandoned by the emperor and all the civil and military officials!

"Dad, I'm going to apologize to him!"

Zhang Xun knelt on the ground, looking at the horrific killing scene in the distance, and was so scared that his voice trembled.

He couldn't believe how Lu Xiaoliu, who had no ambitions and spent his days idling around, could suddenly turn into such a terrifying murderer.

She's just a woman, why bother with you?

"No need!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head wearily. "Although this incident was caused by you, this is far from a matter of face. Whether you apologize or not, it won't change the fate of my Zhang family!"

He had roughly guessed the purpose of the commander of the Xuanyi Guard.

The Zhang family was only dealt with as a side effect during the implementation of the new policy. Song Xuan's goal was very clear from the beginning to the end, and that was to target the ancestor of the Zhang family!

The Xuanyi Guards did not rush into the Zhang family to arrest people. This was to give the Zhang family time to contact the ancestor and also to give the ancestor a chance to make a decision.

Whether to protect the Zhang family or to protect himself, the life and death of the Zhang family all depends on the ancestor's decision.

Zhang Yuan felt very uneasy.

The ancestor of their Zhang family has not appeared for many years. He has no idea whether he is in the imperial capital or still in this world.

Even in the imperial capital, it is still unknown whether the ancestor is willing to come out and compromise with the Xuanyi Guards for the Zhang family!

The killing did not last long. Although there were many rioters, most of them had little fighting power. In front of the group of killers from the Xuanyiwei Law Enforcement Department, they were weaker than chicks.

Killing nearly ten thousand pigs may take a lot of effort, but killing nearly ten thousand pigs is a piece of cake.

Blood was flowing on the street and the smell of blood was extremely strong. Sun Qiaoqiao covered her eyes in fear.

She didn't dare to look at the miserable and horrible scene, let alone look at Lu Xiaoliu.

In her eyes, Lu Xiaoliu is now a madman, a madman who kills people without blinking an eye!

So many people died at once. God knows how the court will react after tomorrow morning's court session.

But no matter how you look at it, she, Sun Qiaoqiao, has already been involved in it. She doesn't know whether Lu Xiaoliu will be in trouble if the court comes to punish him, but she, Sun Qiaoqiao, is definitely dead!

In the imperial capital, many dignitaries stood on high buildings, gazing at this scene.

Seeing the last rioter's head chopped off by the Xuanyi Guards, someone frightened and sat down on the ground, saying in horror, "What a cruel and ruthless Lu Xiaoliu!"

At this moment, Lu Xiaoliu was holding a document with a name written on it.

A captain whispered, "Sir, these are the people who facilitated the riots. In addition to the son-in-law of the Zhang family who guarded the city, there are many people inside and outside the city who are involved.

Some people are powerful.”

Lu Xiaoliu looked at the list in his hand, and after confirming that there were no acquaintances, he sneered and said, "No matter who they are, we will capture them all! No matter if they are nobles, high-ranking officials, or celebrities, anyone who dares to stop us will be killed!"

If there is a problem, I will take responsibility!

If I can't handle it, there's still my brother-in-law!"

The captain received Lu Xiaoliu's order and immediately gave an order. Dozens of Black Guard teams quickly gathered together and rushed to various places in the imperial capital like a torrent.

Sun Qiaoqiao was stunned.

"Brother Lu, you've already killed so many people, do you still want to keep killing?"

Lu Xiaoliu looked at her with interest, "We've only just started, and you're already scared?"

Sun Qiaoqiao swallowed her saliva and said, "You, have you ever thought that after killing so many people, you will be punished by the emperor and the court in the future?"

“I’ve thought about it!”

Lu Xiaoliu reached out and pinched Sun Qiaoqiao's chin. "But no matter how I think about it, I feel that there is no one in the entire Great Zhou who can settle accounts with me!"

Sun Qiaoqiao raised her chin, feeling Lu Xiaoliu's rough kneading, her heart trembled slightly.

"Is it because of your brother-in-law behind you?"

She was very curious, who was Xiaoliu's brother-in-law?

It actually gave Xiaoliu the confidence to kill whoever he wanted without caring about the opinions of all the civil and military officials in the court or even the emperor!

Chapter 508 Zhang Jiao, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist!

"Who is your brother-in-law?"

Lu Xiaoliu let go of his hand and snorted coldly, "What level are you, are you worthy of knowing the name of my brother-in-law?"

The reason why he wanted to pursue love was also influenced by his brother-in-law and elder sister.

My brother-in-law and my eldest sister have been together since they were young. Although they have experienced many ups and downs, they have always been together and finally became husband and wife.

I thought that he had met Sun Qiaoqiao and also met his true love. Maybe it might not be as sweet as his elder sister and brother-in-law, but at least the couple could live a stable life together.

As a result, Sun Qiaoqiao taught him a real lesson, making him understand that a bootlicker doesn't deserve love!

Sun Qiaoqiao moved her mouth and had a lot to say, but facing Xiaoliu's cold gaze, she finally didn't dare to speak.

.....

As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened.

Outside the imperial capital, three figures in Taoist robes stood at the city gate, looking at the majestic and vast city. One of them couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"I haven't been back for over fifty years, and the imperial capital is still so magnificent!"

"Over the years, the three of us have been practicing hard in Hanzhou. This time, many things have become different from before!"

The man in Taoist robes who spoke first said, "I just came back on a whim. I sensed that my family was in trouble, so I came back to take a look.

I've always been unsure about the Imperial Capital, so I had no choice but to invite two fellow Taoists to come back with me."

An old man with white hair and beard, bearing the air of an immortal, waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We haven't been back for a long time. It's a good opportunity to see if there have been any new geniuses in the clan in recent years."

While the three were talking, they saw a team of black-robed guards riding horses in the distance. Before they got close to the city wall, they used their lightness skills to fly up and landed on the city wall.

After a while, these black-clad guards were seen coming down from the city wall, escorting a city-guarding general and several captains.

Looking at the general being escorted away, the old man with a sage-like demeanor sighed and said, "After all these years, the Xuanyi Guards are still so powerful!"

"Yes!"

The gray-robed old man, who had been silent the entire time, sighed and said, “Back then, the Xuanyi Guards were so powerful that the three of us left the imperial capital and went to Hanzhou to practice seclusion.

I didn't expect that upon returning, I would see the Xuanyi Guards arresting people without restraint."

At this point, he paused and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's go into the city and take a look.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang suddenly sensed that his family was in danger, so this must be no small matter."

The man called Zhang Daoyou, dressed in a water and fire Taoist robe, frowned and said, "Calculating the time, it has been more than 50 years, and the emperor has probably changed more than one.

As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Perhaps the Zhang family did something inappropriate and offended the new emperor.

This time, the three of us old fellows came back together. I hope this old face can still have some face and ensure that the Zhang family's incense will not be cut off."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're joking!"

The old man, who looked like an immortal, laughed heartily and said, "The three of us are quite important. If we only want to keep our family safe, what's the problem?"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the street outside the Zhang family mansion.

Everywhere you look, there's a sea of ​​crimson, and the streets are filled with the unpleasant smell of blood. It's obvious that anyone who sees it would know that a brutal massacre has just taken place here.

Looking at the massive army of Black Robe Guards wearing armor, holding bows and with long swords hanging from their waists, the faces of the few people who had originally looked relaxed became serious.

The troubles encountered by the Zhang family seem to be more serious than they expected!

The Xuanyi Guards directly dispatched troops to block the door. The emperor was determined to kill the Zhang family!

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you want to show up directly?"

The Taoist priest in a water and fire robe shook his head. "There's nothing to discuss with them. If we want to talk, we have to find someone who can make the decision!"

As he spoke, his gaze turned and looked towards the Xuanyiwei Commander's Office. The next moment, his figure turned into a ray of lightning and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

...

In the Commander's Office, Song Erni is still working as a carpenter.

She has recently become fascinated with carpentry and enjoys the feeling of making something she likes bit by bit.

It was a rare occasion for Song Xuan to work overtime in the yamen. After reviewing the execution list reported by his subordinates, he walked out of the room, looked at the starry sky, and stretched lazily.

After yawning, he said calmly: "I'm lucky, the person I've been waiting for has finally arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap sounded in the void, a wisp of wind blew away, and a Taoist appeared in his sight.

But this person was surrounded by electric light, making a hissing sound of electricity and thunder, just like the god of thunder descending to the earth.

"I am Zhang Jiao, a humble Taoist. Nice to meet you, Taoist friend!"

"Zhang Jiao..." Song Xuan stared at the figure engulfed in thunder and said calmly, "It seems that Daoist Fellow has made some breakthroughs in his cultivation during these years in Hanzhou?"

The power of thunder is a high-level power that can only be touched on the basis of the five elements. It seems that the great master Zhang Jiao has practiced hard in Hanzhou for many years and has already touched the law of thunder.

"I was lucky and achieved something by chance."

Zhang Jiao looked somewhat arrogant. Although he had never been to Tianyuan, he had mastered the power of thunder and was confident that his fighting ability was no weaker than those grandmasters of the Xuanyi Guard who had been to Tianyuan.

With this confidence, he is not afraid at all even in the Xuanyiwei Commander's Office. Even if the negotiations fail, the worst that can happen is that he turns around and leaves. Who in this world can stop him?

Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Taizu is in the abyss. When Taizu is not around, Zhang Jiao is not afraid of anyone!

The next moment, two more figures appeared in the void, rippling, as if they were slowly walking out of the illusion.

"I am Zuo Ci, the poor Taoist. Nice to meet you, Taoist friend!"

"I am Ge Hong, a poor Taoist. Nice to meet you, Taoist friend!"

Song Xuan looked young, but just standing there casually, he gave people a sense of mystery as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss. The three of them almost immediately figured out who was the current leader of the Xuanyi Guard.

As for Victoria Song, who was sawing wood nearby, she was subconsciously ignored by the three people.

They have been in seclusion for too long, not coming out for decades, and they are still unaware that the situation in the world has completely changed.

"Song Xuan!" Song Xuan clasped his fists slightly and smiled faintly, "The three of you showed up together, are you here to put pressure on me?"

He was in a good mood. He thought that only the ancestor of the Zhang family had come, but he didn't expect that the ancestors of the three powerful families in the imperial capital had all come.

The ancestors of the Zhang, Zuo and Ge families were sent to Tianyuan together. I think it will be useful for stabilizing the situation in Tianyuan.

Zhang Jiao had a confident look on his face. "I'm not trying to be an enemy, fellow Daoist, but I'm just wondering how my Zhang family has provoked you to such a rage."

In response to Zhang Jiao's question, Song Xuan smiled slightly.

"Well...it's not a big deal. It's just that the Zhang family recently rebelled!"
