Volume 1 Chapter 319 The Emperor Arrives

Tang Shui's heart skipped a beat, and he was obviously a little frightened, but he immediately cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order!"

After leaving the imperial study, Tang Shui felt extremely uneasy and as if his heart was being stabbed by a knife.

Today, the Anbu has emerged from the darkness and has become a powerful supervisory intelligence department before all officials.

For the members of the Anbu who had worked so hard before, this incident was like seeing the light after the clouds had cleared, giving them a new life and making it through. They could now bring honor to their family, become idols of their neighbors and the country, and live a stable and good life.

But now, the emperor's butcher knife is about to fall again, and those good brothers in the Anbu who have just started to live a good life are to be killed!

Even if Tang Shui's heart was as hard as iron, he really couldn't bear it, but he had to obey the emperor's order!

Tang Shui knew very well that even if the members of the Anbu practiced the Hua Taixu secret method and concealed it, it did not mean that they were disloyal to the emperor. On the contrary, it was precisely because they were too loyal that they chose to practice this secret method with such great cost.

But if even he could understand this truth, how could the emperor, who is so intelligent, not understand it?

This is also why Tang Shui did not say a word of rebuttal after receiving the order.

Because he knew Emperor Xiang Yun too well. What Xiang Yun wanted was absolute loyalty, die-hard loyalty without any ability to think!

What the emperor wants is absolute control. He must know even if any Anbu member gets married, and he must control them all!

Since he became the head of the Anbu, Tang Shui has woken up from his bed countless times in the middle of the night. Without exception, he was frightened awake by the terrifying Xiang Yun in his dreams. He has asked himself many times whether it is right or wrong to follow Xiang Yun?

For the so-called loyalty, for the so-called safety of the Tang family, become a ruthless and heartless killing machine!

Tang Shui couldn't figure it out, at least he couldn't give himself an answer now. He could only take one step at a time, constantly increasing the coldness of his already cold heart.

This time, the Anbu will have a major reshuffle, and almost half of his trusted members will be eliminated. He will chop down the butcher knife no matter what!

Because he is Anbu Tang Shui!

After finishing his government affairs, Xiang Yun flew to high altitude without any hesitation and rode his dragon towards Longxi Pass.

At Xiang Yun's current speed, it only takes one hour to get from the capital to Longxi Pass. If he goes at full speed, he can get there in less than half an hour.

Today is the day that has passed since the last attack on Longxi Pass. Jiang Fei's injuries in Longxi Pass have healed. After all, he did not have any serious external injuries, he was just overworked. After ten days of rest, coupled with his own strong physical fitness, he has already recovered as before.

However, the atmosphere in the entire Longxi Pass military camp is not very good, and the morale is very low. This is partly because there are many old people in the military camp, but the more critical thing is that the Baiwu Kingdom’s army outside the pass has begun to gather again. Judging from the situation, it is very likely that a general attack will be launched today.

The soldiers of the Huoyun Army inside Longxi Pass have lost their fighting spirit. The Baiwu Kingdom has a large army. Even if they are ready to fight to the death, they cannot repel the enemy without killing half of their soldiers.

Although they can choose to activate the Hua Taixu state and fight to the death before death, it would be fine if they did not know this secret method before. However, the soldiers who activated the Hua Taixu and turned into old men in the last battle formed an extremely sharp contrast when standing in the military camp. As a result, the existing young soldiers of the Huoyun Army all developed a fear of the Hua Taixu secret method.

If they died in battle, they would have nothing to say. At most, they would be a hero again in eighteen years. But they were most afraid that this immortal man would grow old, find life boring, and lose the courage to die.

After all, if a young and strong man dies on the battlefield, his death is meaningful, but if an old, weak, sick or disabled man dies on the battlefield, he is just throwing away his life, which is stupid.

In the marshal's tent, a lieutenant general said with an unpleasant expression: "Marshal Zhao, withdraw your troops according to His Majesty's order. If we continue to fight, all our brothers will die!"

Another person said, "That's right. We all saw the strength of the White Mist Country's commander last time. We are simply not able to resist him. Do you think we should let the brothers open the Great Void Transformation Technique again?"

"Withdraw, Marshal!"

Zhao Zhong, who was sitting on the Marshal's throne, had a solemn expression on his face and remained silent for a long time. Naturally, he also wanted to obey Xiang Yun's order and retreat with the entire army, but when the words came to his lips, for some reason, he couldn't say the word "withdraw"!

It felt as if thousands of huge hands were strangling his throat, making him unable to make any sound.

Zhao Zhong couldn't explain the exact reason. He thought, perhaps it was the millions of dead brothers wailing, and asked him to avenge them!

After becoming the marshal, Zhao Zhong finally understood what Jiang Fei carried on his shoulders every day. It was the resentment and anger of millions of dead soldiers!

It is impossible to withdraw the troops. He wants to kill and kill all the troops of Baiwu Country!

At this moment, bursts of dragon roars were heard in the sky. The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the entire Longxi Pass. Even the Baiwu Kingdom’s army outside the pass could hear it clearly.

Wei Qian stood up from his chair at once, looking solemnly at the huge five-clawed golden dragon hovering over Longxi Pass in front of him. The shock in his heart was beyond words.

Chen Bao rode over hurriedly at this time and asked: "Marshal, Longxi Pass must have received reinforcements. What should we do now? Should we continue to attack? Or should we retreat and wait for the opportunity to fight again?"

Wei Qian waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Why panic? With me here, any reinforcements will not be enough. I will deal with the golden dragon myself. Pass the order down, and the whole army will be ready. Once I give the order, we will launch a general attack!"

"yes!"

Inside Longxi Pass, Xiang Yun jumped down from the five-clawed golden dragon with a gloomy face and landed under the gaze of a large number of Fire Cloud Army soldiers. At the same time, the five-clawed golden dragon in the sky disappeared.

After the surrounding Huoyun soldiers saw Xiang Yun's face clearly, those who knew him immediately knelt down in front of him and greeted him sincerely: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

Many soldiers of the Huoyun Army were new recruits and had never seen the emperor of the Dayun Empire, so they were a little at a loss. But when they heard these words and saw the golden dragon robe on Xiang Yun, they immediately reacted and quickly knelt down to pay their respects.

The news of the emperor's arrival spread quickly. No matter whether they were busy outside, resting in the military tent, or even the wounded, they all ran out and knelt down to Xiang Yun.

Whether it is officials, soldiers or common people in the Dayun Empire, there is no doubt that they respect the current emperor.

It was this emperor who developed the entire Dayun Empire, provided the people with food and clothes, solved the problem of food and clothing, and even led them to greater glory.

The previous Great Sun Dynasty had been in chaos for so many years, and the people had suffered for so many years, but only this emperor changed everything.

Xiang Yun's gloomy expression improved slightly after seeing these soldiers, but when he saw so many wounded, his expression turned cold again.

He found a young general and asked, "Where is Jiang Fei? Ask him to come and see me!"

The young general was flattered and immediately became incoherent, answering questions irrelevantly. At this moment, Jiang Fei and Zhu Qiyu walked out from the crowd and greeted Xiang Yun.

Before the two of them could say a word, Xiang Yun rushed forward and kicked Jiang Fei away, leaving a long line of blood in the air.
