"If what Empress Wu said is true, it seems that I, Cheng, have no choice." Cheng Yuehu was a little helpless and could only compromise first.

"General Cheng, although I have a grudge against the Xue family, it is indeed the Wu family and the Zhang family who did the deed. Don't confuse them." Wu Zetian remained calm and convinced Cheng Yuehu with just one word.

"If Your Majesty is willing to keep her promise and revoke Xue Gang's charges, I will be willing to obey your orders." Cheng Yuehu saw that the overall situation was settled, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"In that case, General Cheng, let's go back to the palace first." Wu Zetian wiped the sweat from her forehead and spoke lightly.

Cheng Yuehu had an expressionless face as he escorted Wu Zetian all the way back to the imperial city.

"My son, you never imagined that, for the sake of the overall situation, you have no choice but to die." Wu Zetian said coldly to Li Xian and his queen who were kneeling in the Golden Throne Hall.

Li Xian was trembling and was about to beg for mercy, but Wu Zetian did not give him the chance. At a command, soldiers stepped forward, dragged him out of the Golden Palace, and chopped off his head.

The queen beside him was no exception and followed Li Xian, becoming a pair of desperate lovers.

"General Cheng, this time it is your turn to deliver the new emperor's head to Xue Gang." Wu Zetian looked at the head presented by the soldiers and immediately gave orders to Cheng Yuehu.

"Yes, I respect Empress Wu's order." Cheng Yuehu had no choice but to take the head with a grim expression and leave the Golden Palace.

In the Xue Mansion.

"Boss, this is what Wu Zetian asked me to bring to you. It contains the heads of the new emperor and empress." Cheng Yuehu was a little embarrassed and handed the brocade box in his hand to Xue Gang.

"What? How could Wu Zetian be like this?" Xue Gang was shocked when he heard this. The new emperor was Wu Zetian's biological son.

"Of course not, boss. We have underestimated Wu Zetian before. We didn't expect her to be so cruel. But he also agreed to revoke all evidence of the crimes of the two Liao palaces." Cheng Yuehu had a bitter look on his face. His military power had been taken away from him.

"I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse. No, I have to go to the market. Huzi, you'd better be careful recently. It's best to stay in Prince Lu's Mansion and don't travel casually." Xue Gang reminded Cheng Yuehu and hurried into the market space.

Only Cheng Yuehu was left. He smiled bitterly and returned to Prince Lu's Palace.

In the world of Bright Sword, in the center of Zhao Jiayu, Zhu Ziming was hanging on a big tree.

"Damn it! Right under our old Li's nose, someone actually became a traitor, tipped off the Japanese, and even fled to their place. This bastard has messed up the Japanese's business."

Li Yunlong paused, and then continued, "This time the monk went into the city and actually caught this bastard. Today, let's show everyone what happens to that bastard who becomes a traitor."

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, the monk next to him immediately pulled down Zhu Ziming's pants and showed them to the soldiers.

"Hey, this bastard has been castrated by the Japanese. It feels so damn good." A soldier looked at Zhu Ziming with a look of satisfaction.

"It's true. He deserves it. He actually defected to the Japanese. I really want to kill him myself." Another soldier echoed.

"Well, the commander and I are very sad about this kind of thing. It's our dereliction of duty. I hope all the soldiers can learn from it." Zhao Gang walked out with a sad face.

"Captain Li, it's almost time to execute him. Don't think about sparing his life and continuing to work for the Japanese." Ye Zheng reminded him lightly, to avoid being exposed in the future.

"Well, what Young Master Ye said is right. This bastard should be shot. Old Li really wants to spare his life." Li Yunlong came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat. The secret was about to be revealed. He was afraid that it would be the boss's fault and it would be difficult for him to continue to protect himself.

"Monk, execute him by shooting." Zhao Gang quickly pulled Li Yunlong down to prevent him from saying anything nonsense again.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

After three consecutive gunshots, Zhu Ziming was completely dead. Even his soul was collected by Ye Zheng and placed together with the souls of the Japanese devils, ready to be dealt with when he returned.

Seeing this, Ye Zheng shook his head, turned around and returned to his own courtyard.

Three days later.

"Tread, tread, tread."

The sound of horse hooves came from afar.

A group of figures, riding horses, quickly ran towards Zhao Jiayu.

"Commander, if our superiors find out that we have come to the Eighth Route Army's base, we will be in trouble again." A middle-aged man in a blue military uniform rode his horse and quickly came to the side of another middle-aged man and spoke.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Brother Ligong, you are still too cautious. Li Yunlong is a talented general. The Japanese will be driven out of China sooner or later. Don't limit your vision to this. It will be a good thing if you can win Li Yunlong over." Another middle-aged man advised earnestly.

These two people are Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong.

"Haha, Brother Yunfei, why did you come to our remote place today?" Li Yunlong laughed heartily and welcomed Chu Yunfei into the house.

"It was just two days ago that, thanks to Brother Yunlong's help, I was able to clean up the mess successfully. I came here today to thank you and also to ask me which battalion's equipment is." Chu Yunfei looked at Li Yunlong with a serious face.

"Brother Yunfei, you are too polite. We are friendly forces. It is only natural for us to help each other." Li Yunlong laughed and refused to talk about the equipment of a battalion.

"Forget it, Brother Yunlong. This time I came here for another matter. I heard that Brother Yunlong was rescued by a noble man. This noble man wiped out hundreds of Japanese soldiers with a wave of his hand. I wonder if this is true." Seeing that Li Yunlong refused to talk about the equipment, Chu Yunfei knew that getting the equipment back from Li Yunlong would be harder than climbing to the sky.

"Brother Yunfei, where did you hear this? How could such a thing be possible? I, Old Li, have never seen such a person." Li Yunlong waved his hands and started lying with his eyes open.

"Brother Yunlong, please don't lie to me. Just let me meet this master. The whole northwest of Shanxi will spread the news like crazy." Chu Yunfei was speechless. Li Yunlong was too thick-skinned, and even bullets couldn't penetrate him.

"Okay, Old Li, since Captain Chu knows everything, there's no need to hide it. I believe Captain Chu is a man who cares about the country, so he definitely has no other ideas." Zhao Gang couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped forward and pulled Li Yunlong.

"Hey, monk, go and invite Mr. Ye over and tell him that I, Li Yunlong, want to invite him to drink, and that there is a friend who wants to visit him."

After Li Yunlong gave his instructions to the monk, he licked Zhang's face and said to Chu Yunfei, "Brother Yunfei, look at my memory. It's damn bad. I can even forget such an important thing."

PS, I got up very early and finally finished one chapter. I will try my best today to see if I can make it five chapters. Everyone please vote and reward me. I beg you for it.
