Chapter 4: The Empress' Rage

Kill the empress!

Kill the traitor!

Kill all enemies!
This is the plan set by Ye Jiuxing.

For ordinary people, or even the previous owner, it is almost impossible to realize this plan.

But for Ye Jiuxing, he can summon China's outstanding people, top legions, and supreme treasures through the system. If he can't even complete this plan, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

[Ding! Activate the main quest: Kill the empress and occupy the Dayu Dynasty!
Mission successful: Reward: One hundred years of cultivation, a chance to be summoned from the top Chinese human world, and a chance to draw a random prize!
Mission duration: one year! 】

[Ding! Activate the side quest: Kill the traitor Si Yong and occupy Yong County!
Mission successful: reward: ten years of cultivation and a chance to summon an ordinary Chinese hero!
Mission duration: ten days! 】

At this moment, two system prompts sounded in succession.

Cultivation!

Great man!

Random draw!

After hearing this, Ye Jiuxing couldn't help swallowing.

I really want to have it!

Fortunately, he was not overwhelmed by the generous reward and asked very cautiously: "System, what if the mission fails?"

"unknown!"

do not know?
Ye Jiuxing frowned slightly. This kind of unknown punishment was the most annoying.

But soon, Ye Jiuxing calmed down. The failure of the mission meant that he was no match for the Dayu Dynasty. At that time, even if the system did not punish him, he would not have a good ending.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!

This is an eternal truth!
Instead of worrying about gains and losses here, it is better to find a way to complete the task earlier.

"Si Yong!"

Ye Jiuxing thought about it, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

This Si Yong was a general whom he valued very much. He commanded 50,000 elite soldiers and was stationed in Yong County. He himself was also a warrior at the peak of the Kaiqiao realm. After arranging the military formation, he could fight against warriors at the Guiyi realm above his level.

When fleeing the imperial city, he ordered Si Yong to lead his troops in an uprising, but his order was rejected. Si Yong also blocked all major traffic arteries in Yong County.

"go!"

Ye Jiuxing thought about it and ordered in a deep voice: "Go to Yong County"

Ye Ping was startled and quickly reminded: "My Lord, Si Yong is most likely bribed by the Empress and is not trustworthy!"

"I know!"

Ye Jiuxing said faintly: "I am going there to take his life!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Ping and the others, whose wounds had not healed and were bleeding. He said with concern, "Your injuries are under control, Bai Qi, treat them first."

"As ordered!"

Bai Qi clasped his fists and saluted.

Ye Ping wanted to refuse. He didn't want to delay the action because of himself, but when he saw the deep concern in Ye Jiuxing's eyes, he fell silent again.

Bai Qi, along with Ye Ping and a few others, walked into the ruined temple.

He is a warrior in the Yin-Yang realm, with pure spiritual energy in his body. He can stabilize the injuries of several people without any medicine.

A thousand Qin warriors swayed their bodies, and stood around, or hid in the dark, defending the surrounding areas. If outsiders stepped in, they would be attacked by thunder.

Ye Jiuxing sat cross-legged on the stone and began to study the system.

"System, how many levels are there for summoning cards?"

"Ding! There are four levels of summoning cards: second-rate, first-rate, top-level, and peerless!"

"A second-rate summoning card that can summon Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Song Jiang, and others!"

"First-class summoning card, can summon Wu Yong, Lu Zhishen, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Zhang Dai and others!"

"Top summoning card, can summon Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Yue Fei, Xiang Yu, Xu Shu, Chen Gong, Zhuge Liang"

"The peerless summoning card can summon Sun Wu, Duke of Zhou, Confucius, Mozi, and Guiguzi"

"That's it!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuxing showed a look of realization on his face, and he had a general understanding of the system.

Dayu. Imperial City, Yujing!
This is an ancient city, a hundred feet high and more than ten miles long, like a peerless ferocious beast, crawling on the ground.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Empress Zhao Wan'er sat on the imperial throne. She was wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown. She had an extraordinary appearance and bright eyes, but she showed no emotion at all. She seemed stubborn and kept people at a distance.

Hundreds of memorials were piled on the imperial desk in front of her, but she showed no sign of reviewing them.

"Did you catch it?"

Zhao Wan'er sat for a while and suddenly asked.

"Return to your majesty!"

Ripples in the void.

A hoarse voice came out: "No news has been sent back yet!"

Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly when she heard this.

Afterwards, she grabbed a memorial and recalled that it was Zhao Jiuxing who reviewed the memorials in the past and managed the court affairs in an orderly manner. As if the scene brought back some sad memories, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

But soon, her eyes became sharp.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

"Ye Jiuxing, you are a minister, holding the military and political power, but you don't know how to retreat while the tide is rising. What do you want to do? Are you rebelling?"

"The people of the world regard you, Zhao Jiuxing, as a saint, but they don't know that I am the master of Dayu! I am the creator of this prosperous era! He, Zhao Jiuxing, is just a dog I raised!"

"If you're a dog, you should behave like a dog. How dare you steal the show?"

Zhao Wan'er threw down the memorial in annoyance and consoled herself: "I am following the way of an emperor and killing powerful officials. This is what I should do!"

Is it wrong?
No!

The king is granted divine power by Heaven!

Her decision is God's will. As a minister, Ye Jiuxing should obey all the orders of the king. If he dares to disobey, it would be disobedience and he deserves death!
call out!
at this time.

An old man walked into the imperial study. He was wearing a loose black robe, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were glowing green, he looked cold and ruthless, and there were a few poisonous insects lying on his shoulders, which made people shudder.

"His Majesty!"

The old man saluted and said weakly: "The Heart-Eroding Gu is dead! The plan has changed, Ye Jiuxing may have escaped!"

"what?"

There was a flash of murderous intent in Zhao Wan'er's eyes.

The old man showed a worried look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The Heart-Eroding Gu is the most precious treasure of the Wu Sect. Once it enters the body, it can kill a warrior in the Guiyi Realm. To kill the Heart-Eroding Gu, it may take a strong man in the Yin-Yang Realm to do it!"

Yin and Yang realm!
Hearing this, Zhao Wan'er's pupils shrank slightly and her expression changed.

How can it be?

There is actually a powerful Yin-Yang Realm expert beside Ye Jiuxing?
There are not many such beings even within the Dayu Dynasty. They have an aloof status and do not participate in secular power struggles.

"Somebody come!"

Zhao Wan'er's eyes narrowed, and she ordered again: "Activate the secret guards, contact Liu Yun, Han Shuang and others, and ask them to report the process of arresting Zhao Jiuxing!"

"As ordered!"

Another voice was heard from the dark void.

After giving the order, Zhao Wan'er sat quietly with a sullen face. She would not sleep tonight, waiting for the secret guard to come back and report.

at last.

At noon the next day.

The secret guard entered the imperial study panting and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, I found the bodies of Liu Yun, Han Shuang and others outside Lone Star Mountain. As for Ye Jiuxing, he is nowhere to be found!"

Ye Jiuxing, escaped!

Zhao Wan'er stood up suddenly, her face changed suddenly, and deep in her heart, she was filled with horror and disbelief.

Damn!

Isn't he deserted by everyone?
Isn't his life hanging by a thread?
Hasn't he been surrounded and is being attacked from all sides?
How can you escape?
"try to find!"

Zhao Wan'er panicked a little and ordered in a cold voice: "Send out all the spies to search for me! Even if we have to dig deep into the ground, we must find Ye Jiuxing!"
