Xiang Nan then took out the corpse powder and cleaned up the dead people in the inn.
Corpse powder is a highly poisonous substance, it will take effect when it comes into contact with blood and water, and it is extremely corrosive. With just a little bit, you can turn flesh, muscles, bones, clothes, etc. into yellow water. It can be said to be extremely powerful.
Xiang Nan also knew the formula from the "Secret Code of Food and Poison", which was perfect for destroying corpses and eradicating traces.
“What a strong poison.” Sun Baifa looked at it and was amazed.
"Everyone, please go back to your room and rest. In my opinion, tomorrow should be the last moment of the showdown." Xiang Nan looked at Sun Baifa, Fairy Jinghong and others and said.
Everyone nodded.
…
Back in the room, Xiang Nan continued to practice.
Although tomorrow is the last moment, he is still in a calm mood.
Once a person is skilled in art, he is bold. With his current martial arts, he could still escape even if he couldn't defeat Shangguan Jinhong; secondly, King Yun's power had been greatly weakened by him.
He had killed Sanqianzhang Baifa in advance, and he had also killed nearly half of the two hundred killers. Now King Yun's biggest trump card is Shangguan Jinhong's money gang, and the civil servants and generals he bribed.
The most capable of these people is Shangguan Jinhong. As long as he is defeated, then King Yun will be nothing special.
Therefore, Xiang Nan was not afraid, but continued to practice and strive to break through to the highest level of "Mingyu Gong".
He is calm, focused, free of distractions, and forgets all emotions. He concentrates on moving his true energy according to the mental method of the ninth level of "Mingyu Gong" to break through the eighth level and reach the highest state of the ninth level.
It is not difficult for him to have no distracting thoughts and forget all emotions, so it is not difficult for him to practice the ninth level of "Mingyu Gong".
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan walked out of the room.
“Hey, you seem to look a little different today.” Sun Xiaohong asked suspiciously when she saw him. He looked a little younger than yesterday.
"Well, I'm probably a little haggard." Xiang Nan nodded, "By the way, what's the latest news?"
He has now mastered the ninth level of "Mingyu Gong". Not only does he show signs of rejuvenation, but the true energy in his body has also formed a vortex, absorbing external energy all the time.
It can be said that his power is increasing all the time and is never exhausted.
What is even more rare is that he also practiced "Dharma Nerve" and was able to condense the essence, qi and blood in his body into one. In this way, even if he does not eat, drink or sleep for a long time, he will not feel hungry, thirsty or tired.
This is quite powerful. In the world of Xianxia, it can be regarded as reaching the realm of Bigu.
However, he didn't want to make a big deal about this matter. After all, "Mingyu Gong" has always been regarded as an evil skill in the martial arts because it can absorb the opponent's skill, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Last night, the two father-in-laws Shang Ming and Wang Zhiquan of the East and West Second Factory were assassinated. The East and West Second Factory suffered heavy casualties, which can be said to be a river of blood." Fairy Jinghong explained, "There is also news from the palace. This morning, more than half of the people in the city None of the civil and military officials entered the palace and ordered Mao."
“More than half of the civil and military officials did not enter the palace to order Mao?” Xiang Nan was stunned.
Although Emperor Xianzong did not go to court often, the six ministries had to work normally every day, so they still had to light the moon every day.
Since more than half of the officials no longer entered the palace, it was obvious that they no longer paid attention to Emperor Xianzong, which was no different from actual rebellion.
“Our emperor is really unpopular.” Fairy Jinghong sighed.
After Emperor Xianzong ascended the throne, for more than 20 years, he was always arrogant and extravagant, indulged in wealth, favored treacherous and sycophants, and belittled virtuous ministers. For this reason, he was called a "faint emperor" and a "tyrant". It was for this reason that King Yun dared to rebel and wanted to pull him off the throne.
If emperors like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang were on the throne, they would not dare to take any action even if they killed King Yun.
"By now, he should have woken up." Xiang Nan said, "Just wait, King Qin's decree to protect the emperor will be issued soon."
…
Sure enough, at noon, a man dressed as a farmer sneaked in through the back door of the inn.
“Who is Li Tanhua?” he asked, his voice high-pitched and thin, very different from ordinary people.
“I’m here, what advice can you give me?” Xiang Nan asked.
"The younger one is Wang Cheng'en, the **** and **** who is responsible for the rituals. He is also a confidant of Lord Long Live. According to Lord Long Live's order, he came here specially to pass on the oral message." The boy explained.
“Caomin Li Xunhuan respectfully accepts the edict~” Xiang Nan said and was about to kneel down.
"Li Tanhua is exempt from the courtesy, don't kneel down." Wang Chengen said quickly, "There are people watching around the inn now, and they all pretended to be food delivery people and sneaked in. Li Tanhua must not salute, so as not to attract attention."
Xiang Nan nodded, "In that case, please let me know."
"Okay." Wang Chengen nodded, and then said, "The emperor is trapped in the palace and has nothing to do. Up and down, inside and outside, everything is controlled by King Yun.
The emperor also asked himself: since he came to the throne, he has rarely done his job properly. I am ashamed of my ancestors in the Ming Dynasty, and I am ashamed of my kind people in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the emperor made great wishes. The emperor knew that Li Tanhua was not interested in fame and wealth, and did not seek high-ranking officials and generous salaries. As long as Li Tanhua succeeded as king and the throne was preserved, the emperor would definitely implement benevolent and virtuous government in order to repay him. "
"Is this really what the emperor said?" Xiang Nan asked.
“Even if you have a hundred heads, you wouldn’t dare to pretend to preach the imperial edict.” Wang Chengen said quickly.
"Okay, please give me a reply. As long as the emperor remembers the two words of benevolent government and virtuous government, I, Li Xunhuan, will definitely gather loyal people to serve the king and protect the king, even to the death." Xiang Nan bowed.
“Thank you very much, Li Tanhua. Even if I risk my life, I will convey this to the emperor.” Wang Chengen nodded and said, “I will take my leave.”
…
“Brother, the emperor’s decree has been issued, what are you going to do next?” Sun Xiaohong looked at Xiang Nandao.
"Go straight to Huanglong." Xiang Nan said, "Shoot the men first, shoot the horses, and capture the thieves first, capture the king. As long as King Yun gives the head, everything will be calm."
The reason why those civil and military ministers rebelled was firstly because they were bribed by King Yun, and secondly because King Yun was also a prince and had the qualifications to inherit the throne.
Xunzi, a late Confucian sage, said, "If the ruler has the Way, follow it and be loyal to it; if the ruler does not have the Way, attack it."
In the years since Emperor Xianzong ascended the throne, he has been doing nothing but eating, drinking and having fun. He happened to be an ignorant and ignorant king, so King Yun's usurping the throne seemed to be treasonous and unethical, but in fact, it was still acceptable in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
But once King Yun dies, no one in his camp is qualified to usurp the throne.
After all, usurping the throne requires royal status, and the other prince, King Fu, is over fifty years old and fasts and chants Buddha all the year round. He is not as ambitious as King Yun.
So if we get rid of King Yun, this matter will be settled.
“Okay, you are brave enough.” Sun Tianfeng nodded and said, “Then let’s go.”
Xiang Nan nodded, and then everyone rode horses to Prince Yun's Mansion.
