They'll fire the cannons and then leave, regardless of the winds from any direction.
Is Bo Jiudao here to apologize?
No!
He came to kill someone.
Does one have to kill someone personally?
The answer is no, because there is another saying in the world: "to kill with a borrowed knife."
Using Emperor Yunqin's sword, eliminate those whom Emperor Yunqin has long disliked but has many concerns about.
Just as Bo Jiudao turned to leave, Yun Liandu's eyes narrowed slightly again.
However, in that instant when he narrowed his eyes, a chilling killing intent flashed across his face.
He harbored murderous intent towards the ministers before him.
The top-secret military operation had just been planned when you high-ranking officials of the Celestial Empire who participated in its planning began to line your own pockets.
If you were just hoarding supplies to make a profit, that would be one thing, but you were incredibly audacious enough to sweep away all the supplies along your marching route.
As a result, the military forces, whose military spending was strictly controlled by the Ministry of Personnel, had no money left to replenish the resources they consumed.
Then these audacious individuals went even further and went to the Sirius Legion's hideout to sell their wares.
Damn it!
With operations like this, where is the word "top secret"?
How dare they frame the Household Affairs Department for treason with such actions?
You have such audacity!
Does an emperor need evidence to commit murder?
Yes, it's necessary, but it can be made on the spot.
Bo Jiudao left, but Emperor Yun Qintian, Yun Sheng, in a fit of rage, killed 136 people.
However, this did not involve anyone in the position of chief.
Because these people are deeply entrenched, any action taken against them can have far-reaching consequences, but killing them is also the most severe warning to them.
Bo Jiudao didn't receive the order to exterminate his entire clan; instead, he received only a piece of paper.
A piece of paper, half of which had 136 names written on it and the other half was blank.
These 136 people were the very ones who had just been killed.
The person who delivered this paper to him was named Yun Liandu.
Looking at the paper, Bo Jiudao's lips curled into a smile.
The Heavenly Dynasty did not issue any decree praising Yun Qin, nor did the Heavenly Emperor utter any words of praise.
But this piece of paper is his reward.
One hundred and thirty-six people were killed, which would create one hundred and thirty-six job vacancies.
The blank half is for him to recommend suitable people.
This is a check and balance of power in the court, and also a sign of trust in him.
They trust you, so they allow you to promote your people.
If I allow you to promote your own people, it means you are now one of Yunliandu's people.
The person who pushes you up is there to restrain those who are no longer trusted.
Those who benefit from the status quo are always the ones who see things most clearly.
This half-empty piece of paper represents a gathering of trust, but it is also a test.
If you really don't care and fill in your own people, then I'm sorry.
The test was not passed.
Bo Jiudao picked up his brush and wrote sixteen names on the paper.
He then ordered someone to send the paper to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Among these sixteen names, there is one name that no one is familiar with after the position of Inspector of the Department of Punishments.
Sheng Lingxiao.
After delivering the papers to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, Bo Jiudao lay on a rocking chair in the backyard, looking at the white clouds in the sky and smiling slightly.
"I've been lying low for so long I've almost forgotten why I came here. Little one, I hope you can speed things up. I want to go home."
He mumbled words that no one could understand, then closed his eyes and began to doze off.
A gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, finally ruffling Bo Jiudao's long hair like a mischievous child.
It was only when the breeze blew that one realized that half of Bo Jiudao's hair had turned gray.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on him, making him look more like an elderly man enjoying his retirement in the sun.
The scene before me possessed a unique sense of harmony.
As the sun set and night fell over the courtyard, Bo Jiudao remained dozing on his recliner.
Compared to daytime, the moonlight made his hair appear even more mottled.
With a creak, the courtyard gate was pushed open.
A figure walked up to Bo Jiudao and then bowed in a junior's greeting.
"Ancestor, can we start moving again after today?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Jiudao slowly opened his eyes and then replied.
"We don't need to make any big moves. We need to wait for that little guy. Besides, our target isn't Yun Qin, but the thing behind Yun Qin."
He turned to the figure and asked again.
"You've brought the portrait?"
Upon hearing this, the figure took out a jade slip and handed it to Bo Jiudao.
"I brought it, but in order not to be discovered, I only took a side view from a distance, and even so, I was almost discovered."
Bo Jiudao chuckled upon hearing this.
"That little guy is quite clever; it seems his cultivation level is not low either."
"According to the third brother, it is designated as the Natian Realm."
These words startled Bo Jiudao, who then smiled with immense satisfaction.
"Okay, okay."
After saying "good" three times, Bo Jiu opened the jade slip.
Inside the jade slip was a very beautiful painting.
On the mountaintop in the painting, there are two figures: a handsome man in white and a woman of unparalleled beauty.
However, the art style is somewhat off-track.
Because the handsome young man in white was smiling as he watched the stunningly beautiful woman across from him devour a meat bone.
The woman appeared to be gnawing on a bone while shaking her leg.
The moonlight reflected off the jade slip shone on the face of the figure standing bowing beside Bo Jiudao—a person who should never have been there.
Liu Tongyuan, Left Chief of the Yunqin Tianchao Army's Armor Division.
