Chapter 96: Eliminate All Evil (I)

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The warriors drew their swords, formed a circle and blocked the woman, not allowing her to take another step forward.

The Jin Emperor was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Why don't you pretend to be something else? Why pretend to be her to deceive me?" After saying that, he suddenly frowned and asked absurdly: "Why is she here?"

Seeing the Jin Emperor's cowardly appearance, the woman said nothing. Crimson air flowed out from her fingertips and wrapped around the warriors' necks. A powerful force pulled them into the air. After a crisp sound of breaking cervical vertebrae, they fell to the ground one by one and died.

When there was no one else blocking their way, she gathered her wide sleeves and continued walking forward.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps. There was no wind in the "psychedelic array" and everything was still. But when a hole was forcibly torn open in it by the outside world, the sea breeze blew quietly from afar. When the thick fog gradually dissipated, Emperor Jin could finally see her face clearly.

Sure enough, it’s not…

His face was as white as paper at this moment, and his palms were wet with sweat.

Mr. Meihua is now unknown whether he is dead or alive. According to the current situation, he is in great danger. The carefully selected warriors around him were all killed by him in one blow, and even he himself was trapped in the "psychedelic array" and unable to escape.

The Jin Emperor's mind had never been so clear as it was now. Today, he was afraid that he could not escape this disaster.

"The Wei family sent you here, didn't I underestimate Wei Canghao? I didn't expect that he would have a hidden talent like you by his side. Don't you have anything else to say? Your words just now almost confused me, and you dressed up as her, didn't you just want to gain my trust?"

She remained silent.

However, the Jin Emperor became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't stop talking. He waved his hand and said, "Speak now. You are about to kill an emperor, don't you have anything to say?"

There was an eerie silence around him. There was someone right in front of him, but in her eyes, he was like something that didn't exist. The thing that Emperor Jin feared most was having no sense of existence.

"Even if it's ridicule, mockery, or insults..."

"Just don't ignore my existence like you are doing now, as if I am an insignificant ant that can be crushed to death at will."

The Jin Emperor's eyes were red, and he looked at her with an angry and tearful expression. Although he was looking at her, it seemed like he was looking at another person from many years ago.

At that time, he didn't dare to yell at her like that, and didn't dare to express his inner resentment and indignation, but now that he was about to die, he wanted to vent.

Finally, Xu Shanshan spoke up: "Jia Yukun, do you know where your name comes from? I gave it to you. It means Kunpeng. Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. You could have turned into a giant seabird with the ability to soar naturally and a majestic figure, but you gave it up and became someone else."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the Emperor of Jin was heartbroken.

The Jin Emperor's legs suddenly went limp as he sat on the ground. Half of his body felt like it was being burned by a raging flame, while the other half felt like it had fallen into an ice cave. The sharp pain made his eyes go black and his head feel dizzy.

"…My name was given by you? What about his?"

"Back then, your father brought home a pair of twins. The one with the mole in his eyebrow was named by him, and the other wanted me to give him a name with a good meaning, hoping that he would have a smoother life in the future."

The Jin Emperor was stunned.

He has no mole between his eyebrows.

It turned out that his father had been kind and compassionate to him in the past.

"Anything else you want to ask? Before you die, I can answer one more question for you."

Xu Shanshan had already arrived in front of him, and the aura of death that came with it was like a shadow hanging over his head, spreading quietly, with absolute dominance over this dead and silent place.

The Jin Emperor was trembling all over, with nowhere to escape.

"Why did you let him kill me back then? Since you gave me a name, does that mean I have no meaning at all in your mind and can be wiped out at will?"

This was a "nightmare" that he had been unable to shake off. He would often fall into fear and anxiety, like a raging beast, constantly roaring and asking in his dreams, why, why, why? !

"Jia Yukun, your ambition is not in your eyes or heart, but in your bones. You were submissive and forbearing back then, not because you didn't want to fight, but because you were waiting for the best opportunity."

The Jin Emperor remained silent.

"You can deceive the King of Jin, but you can't deceive the secrets of heaven. When you came to pay homage, you were already stained with the blood of your loved ones. I'm afraid that the death of the old King of Jin was related to you. Therefore, the only hope for your life has been cut off. You can't turn back, but the King of Jin still has a chance... but he is not as cruel as you."

The Jin Emperor was shocked.

He finally understood why she said that back then. She had already calculated his fate of killing his father and brother and ruthlessly exterminating the descendants of his entire clan in the future. That was why she said that to King Jin. In her eyes, he was a calamity, a disaster, and an incident that was to be wiped out.

It turned out that she was right, he had done a lot of bad things.

His father, who was partial to him but still cared for him, was killed by him. His brother, who was very close to him, was also killed by him. All the so-called relatives, old friends, and acquaintances in the mansion were either killed or fled, and there were only a few left.

The corners of Emperor Jin's mouth curled up as he recalled the past. He wondered if the situation would be different now if he had not made a single mistake back then.

No.

He would still go down the same path as he is now, he knows himself too well, just as she said, his ambition is in his bones, he is narrow-minded and arrogant, acts sinisterly and cruelly, and will never yield to the will of others, which will always push him step by step into the abyss.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. You are worthy of being the Grand Master of Jing Country..."

He finally admitted that the person in front of him was the Grand Master of Jing State.

If she was fake, then no one could be real. She knew his secrets, all of their secrets. Who else could be so powerful and omniscient?

"You said that my ambition is engraved in my bones, what about you, Grand Master?" The Jin Emperor hissed, like a poisonous snake whose teeth were pulled out before dying. Even if it cannot kill the person, it will still bite the other person to vent its anger.

"You must be Xu Shanshan, the woman who killed King Chen. Now you want to kill me too. All this is to consolidate Emperor Yue's imperial power. But is the emperor who never wakes up and suffers from a long-term illness worthy of your dedicated assistance?"

"Not only him, but also all the kings you have assisted, which one is a wise and virtuous king? They all rely on you to govern the country."

"Because you are here, no matter how incompetent and ignorant they are, even if they only know how to indulge in luxury, the Jing Kingdom will not collapse. The king is corrupt and tyrannical, and the treacherous party is rampant, as long as you are here, the Jing Kingdom will be safe. Hahaha..." He laughed out loud, and the laughter was mostly sarcastic.

"Grand Master, it is precisely because they need you and Jingguo needs you that you are imprisoned in the temple year after year for the needs of everyone, and you will never be free. You have paid so much for the emperors of all dynasties, but what have they given you in return?"

He looked at her with pity: "I don't believe that you have never thought about getting rid of the shackles of the Jing Kingdom's royal family. You named me Kun, but you yourself are trapped in this world for eternity. How can I escape the predetermined fate?"

"Why don't you and I cooperate? I am different from those greedy emperors. I only want your loyalty in this life..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Shanshan. She had an unfathomable smile on her face, and something terrible was lurking in her deep eyes, but she suppressed it again: "Are you done? Then end this life's journey and get on the road."

Blood splattered everywhere, and the expression of eagerness and expectation for the other party to be persuaded on the face of Emperor Jin before his death was permanently frozen on his face.

Xu Shanshan held something in her hand, broke the "psychedelic array" set up by Mr. Meihua and walked out. She raised her head and looked towards the western sky, only to see red clouds rolling strangely and the gloomy scene turning into miasma, which meant a great disaster.

"Did something happen to Wei Canghao?" Maomao asked.

Xu Shanshan retracted his gaze: "Yeah."

Maomao was speechless: "Shan, you really sold out to your fiancé. You definitely didn't tell him your real plan."

She just let him arrange the ambush by himself and attract all the attention, while she took the Jin Emperor by surprise and found the real "nest" where he was hiding, and successfully reaped the rewards.

She said: "As compensation, he and his Wei family army will be the ultimate winners and beneficiaries of the rebellion in Longdong."

-

Gongsun Ji looked at the head in Xu Shanshan's hand, his eyes were red with anger: "You, you killed the Emperor of Jin?!"

He shook his head frantically, trying to convince himself: "Impossible, this must be fake, you guys are trying to pass it off as real too, right?"

"He was a traitor. When he proclaimed himself emperor, who approved of it?" Xu Shanshan asked in return.

She threw the head to Wei Canghao, who subconsciously reached out to take it. He had seen blood and killed people before, so he was naturally not afraid of corpses, but holding a head alone still made him feel uneasy.

Is this really the Emperor of Jin?

Or is it fake?
He endured the discomfort, combed his messy hair, carefully looked at his face, and finally confirmed it.

"Did you really take the head of Emperor Jin? Is it real?" Wei Canghao looked at Xu Shanshan in shock.

He fought desperately to kill a fake Jin Emperor, but the fake Jin Emperor's corpse turned into poisonous bees and chased him like a stray dog. There were bandits with knifes coming from behind and he was forced into a desperate situation... She calmly brought the head of the real Jin Emperor?
How could he understand this matter?

"You hope he's fake?" She glanced at him.

Wei Canghao was in a very complicated mood at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I hope it's true, but... then what does my side count for?!"

Since she can do what she wants so easily, why does it matter if he works so hard?
He was not stupid. She came late just to hunt down the real Jin Emperor, and she might have anticipated the situation on his side, but she did not reveal anything to him. What did she think of him, Wei Canghao? !
As if knowing what Wei Canghao was thinking at the moment, Xu Shanshan asked: "If you were the commander, would you reveal your plan to your subordinates? Especially when you need to attend the meeting alone?"

Wei Canghao paused, and said with an unpleasant expression: "So, in your mind, I, Wei Canghao, am not your fiancé, nor your partner, but just a... subordinate?"

Xu Shanshan was a little stumped by this question.

Maomao: Shan, he is angry, he is angry. He is angry that you are being too low in your opinion of him.

Xu Shanshan: ...Shut up.

Gongsun Ji shouted angrily: "Enough! If the Jin Emperor is really dead, then none of you will be able to escape. The Wei family and all those involved will be buried with the Jin Emperor!"

Gongsun Ji was in a state of confusion at this moment. He did not want to believe that his foolproof plan would have such a major change. If the Jin Emperor was really dead, what future would he have...

No, not only is there no future, but if these culprits are not brought to justice, he and his family will probably not escape death.

The "smoke bees" that gathered again in the sky began to buzz and were ready to attack. The large area of ​​black and gray "dark clouds" made the Wei family army shiver all over. Those who had been "stinged" by them before had psychological trauma and really did not want to encounter it again.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Do you have any way to solve this problem?" Wei Canghao asked, glancing at the dark purple spot on the back of his hand.

"It's not difficult."

Xu Shanshan shook his shoulders, and the lazy Maomao obeyed the order, flapping its wings and flying gracefully. Everyone was attracted by the noise it made at this time, and didn't know why.

It usually looks small and delicate, nothing special about it, but at this moment, all its laziness and harmlessness are gone, and its pair of red eyes flash with a sharp and strange light. It opens its mouth and ferociously chases the "smoke bees" and sucks them all into its stomach.

The Wei family army was stunned.

Gongsun Ji was dumbfounded.

Wei Canghao was incredulous: "It's so small...how can it swallow so much? It won't burst, will it?"

Xu Shanshan said: "In your eyes it is a poisonous bee, but in fact it is just a collection of bad luck. Do you feel full if you swallow the air?"

After swallowing madly, Maomao spit out a mouthful of light blue mist towards Wei Jiajun. When it enveloped Wei Jiajun who was in unbearable pain, all the symptoms left by being stung by the "smoke poison bee" disappeared.

Seeing that the other side had such a strange bird to help them, Gongsun Ji broke the murderous intention of the "Smoke and Poison Bee", but it was too late, because the knife-killing bandits had already arrived under the city wall.

He pressed his lips into a straight line, his eyes full of cold and ruthless murderous intent: "I said, none of you can escape!"

Wei Canghao looked down with a serious expression, and subconsciously protected Xu Shanshan behind him: "The knife-wielding bandits are here!"

Because of their race, the knife-twisting bandits are naturally tall, and they eat a lot of meat, so they have developed solid and strong muscles. At first glance, the size of a knife-twisting bandit is almost as big as one and a half Wei family soldiers.

As soon as they arrived, they untied the noose around their waists, put on the claws, and threw them towards the city wall. After hanging on them firmly, they used their hands and feet to climb up quickly like ape-men.

When the knife-strangling bandits jumped onto the city wall like dumplings, the terrain seemed a little narrow due to their number of about a hundred people plus the dozens of people from Gongsun Ji and Wei Canghao.
