When Li Jingxian arrived outside Qingping Tower, there were quite a few people watching.

When they saw the soldiers arrive, the onlookers retreated further, but they still continued to watch.

It seems that watching from the sidelines is a fine tradition that has existed since ancient times!

A pig-like scream came from inside, and Li Jingxian was overjoyed.

That's right!

He is undoubtedly a Tangut spy!

Even if it wasn't, it is now.

How dare they lay a hand on the imperial soldiers? What else could they be but spies?

The thought of adding another achievement to his resume made Li Jingxian a little excited!

Li Jingxian, like a savior, led his men and rushed in.

Upon entering and seeing the scene inside, Li Jingxian almost screamed out in his hoarse voice.

Although he was the commander of the Xiang Army, Li Jingxian had one very obvious characteristic: he was afraid of blood!

Holy crap! Someone who faints at the sight of blood can become the commander of the Upper Army?

Even though the Xiangjun (Xiangjun) had a low status and usually did hard labor, they were still the regular army of the Song Dynasty. If the Imperial Guards at the front were not enough, the Xiangjun would have to step in.

Moreover, the Xiang Army was responsible for many local security matters, such as suppressing bandits and dealing with large-scale disturbances among the people.

Bleeding is unavoidable at this point.

But what could they do? Their uncle was the Transport Commissioner, one of the highest-ranking officials in Yongxing Military Circuit, with the same rank as the Military Commissioner!

Li Jingxian's legs went weak instantly.

And what was the scene like when he went in?

Commander Ling was lifted up by one of the Imperial City Guards and slammed onto the table, while another Imperial City Guard chopped off his head with a single stroke.

Isn't this scene just like slaughtering chickens and pigs?

As he watched the head roll down, Li Jingxian could no longer hold back and vomited.

This absolutely does not mean he is a good person. In fact, he has a strong desire to kill, but the visual impact is too much for his body to handle.

He once instigated people to hunt down women and children in the village, and then dried their corpses until there was no blood left, so that he could enjoy them.

Li Jingxian, vomiting between shouts, said, "Quickly, kill them all!"

Someone rode at full speed to the governor's mansion.

The military governor is in charge of the military, political and civil affairs of a region. Now that so many people have died in Qingping Tower, and they are all soldiers, of course some people can't sit still and want to report to the governor's mansion.

Sun Bangyuan was originally preparing to lead his troops out of the city to welcome the emperor. As the highest authority in the region, he naturally had to go in person.

Upon hearing that the emperor was coming, Sun Bangyuan immediately sent people to inquire about the situation. He wanted to know the emperor's location as soon as possible so that he could go to greet him on time.

At this moment, everything becomes important.

For example, the security situation in Jingzhao Prefecture became particularly important. When the emperor came to inspect it, Sun Bangyuan had boasted to the emperor when he went to Tokyo some time ago that Jingzhao Prefecture had the best security.

Now, he's going to make up for the boast he made!

Therefore, the guards in the city quickly received orders from their superiors.

Starting today, the eagles of Chang'an City are not allowed to fly around recklessly; they must follow the rules, or they will all be swatted to death!

Having just given the order, Sun Bangyuan was still somewhat worried. He felt that he needed to mobilize more troops into the city to ensure the safety of the city and all the checkpoints in Jingzhao Prefecture.

However, he suddenly received a message that made him explode on the spot.

What news?

More than a hundred soldiers of the Xiang Army died suddenly at Qingping Tower!

Holy crap! This is outrageous!

With this level of public security, if the emperor were to actually come and ask questions, wouldn't that be like slapping yourself in the face?

Sun Bangyuan was about to explode!

"Prepare the horses! I'm going to see for myself which fool is causing trouble in my Chang'an city!"

Li Yanjing was a scholar and a refined man; he was a former official from the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song.

In order to please the emperor, the thing he did most back then was to practice calligraphy.

He was writing at that moment, and he was in a very good mood because the dog emperor was coming, and his opportunity had come.

During the late Tang Dynasty, the country was in great chaos, and the five prominent families and seven influential clans that held high positions in the political arena were the ones most severely impacted.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period was a devastating blow to them.

However, they did not turn to ashes; they survived tenaciously in the swamp of chaos.

Although they were already very weak, they were waiting to rise again.

However, the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty was ridiculously exaggerated, which created a huge obstacle for them to re-enter officialdom.

As times progressed, their wealth began to accumulate, their population flourished again, and their power grew stronger. It was no longer possible for them to enter the court and dominate the government; they could only remain hidden among the common people.

Seventy years ago, several major clans secretly formed the Hidden Origin Society, which began to infiltrate the most basic territories and even extended its reach overseas.

The Zhao family tried every means to suppress the resurgence of powerful clans. Unable to enter the court, the clans' power sank into the common people.

Li Yanjing was a prominent figure in the Li clan of Longxi. As the transport commissioner of Jingzhao Prefecture and a high-ranking official of the imperial court, he brought considerable political resources to his family.

They did it very discreetly so that the officials in the court wouldn't find out.

Of course, it also has plenty of tentacles.

Now, the Tanguts are willing to cooperate. As long as the emperor dies, they can take advantage of the chaos in the Song Dynasty to annex the northwest.

They would then incite the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and the Tanguts to fight each other, resulting in mutual destruction, from which they would naturally reap the benefits.

"That damned emperor is truly foolish! Leaving the palace is one thing, but daring to come to the Northwest! This is the headquarters of the Hidden Origin Society! I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't kill you!"
