Time flies by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed since the changes in the Imperial City of Chen Kingdom.

The news that Lin Xiao had returned from the Zhou Dynasty to inherit the throne had spread throughout the Chen Kingdom, and the various crimes of Han Sheng, the King of the Western Region, had finally been revealed.

As soon as this news came out, the whole country was shocked.

In the past, because of Emperor Chen's trust in Han Sheng, the Western Territory was like a country within a country, and Han Sheng could easily block all connections with the outside world in the Western Territory.

In terms of the court, although the taxes paid by the Western Territory have been decreasing year by year in the past five years, Han Sheng used the excuse of natural disasters as an excuse, and Emperor Chen did not send anyone to verify. As a result, the North Korean government not only did not know the true situation in the Western Territory, but also appropriated the taxes.

A lot of money was collected for disaster relief.

Now that the truth has been revealed, while the world is furious, they also speak highly of the new emperor Lin Xiao, who single-handedly killed Han Sheng to quell the turmoil at a young age.

Originally, Lin Xiao left Chen State when he was young, and had little sense of presence, let alone reputation, among the Chen State's wealthy nobles or the circles of traffickers and lackeys. Many ministers loyal to the Lin family, including Lin Xiu, were worried about Lin Xiao's successor.

will cause new unrest.

But after this battle, Lin Xiao's reputation was directly pushed to the peak. After all, in this world, the strong are respected. In a short period of time, powerful people from all over the world expressed their loyalty to the court through their own channels.

Originally, everything was developing for the better, but in the past day or two, the top brass of Chen Kingdom were all panicked.

All third-grade officials and above are all in the palace hall. Many of them have been here for three or four days in a row without leaving. Even Lin Xiu, who has not recovered from his serious injury, is waiting here in a wheelchair.

After visiting Lin Xiu and returning to the palace, Lin Xiao convened the ministers for discussion the next morning. After briefly explaining everything in the Western Region, he ordered the left and right prime ministers to temporarily handle the government affairs. He himself left with the Dragon Song Sword on the pretext of practicing in seclusion.

Royal Palace.

After leaving, there was no news. No one knew where he went or when he would return.

Originally, this was not the most important thing. It was understandable that Lin Xiao went into seclusion in the name of cultivation. As Han Sheng's betrayal came to light, everyone saw clearly the sinister intentions of the Zhou Dynasty in wanting to enslave the Chen Kingdom. War could come at any time.

At this time, only if Lin Xiao is strong enough can Chen Kingdom have a chance of survival.

However, the left and right prime ministers of Chen State are all loyal and talented people, so there will be no problem in taking over the government temporarily. Even in terms of running the country, a hundred Lin Xiao is not as good as these two highly respected old people.

What really made all the officials anxious and angry was the urgent report sent back from the Western Region.

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Chu and Cao Fu, two war gods from the Nine Realms, entered the Chen Kingdom from the Western Realm. After killing the general who had just been sent to the Western Realm to take charge, they went straight to the imperial city.

Even in the Chen Kingdom at its peak, there were only two war gods in charge, but now these two war gods have fallen. Although Lin Xiao could kill Han Sheng in the eighth realm of Body Tempering with one sword, he could not kill Han Sheng in the eighth realm of Body Tempering and the ninth realm of Body Tempering.

There is an essential difference between them.

No one thought that Lin Xiao could resist the God of War at this time. Even Lin Xiu, who knew that Lin Xiao had killed Li Teng, had no confidence at this time.

First of all, Li Teng has been in the Ninth Realm of Body Tempering for less than ten years, and is the weakest among the three war gods. Both Zhang Chu and Cao Fu have been immersed in the Ninth Realm of Body Tempering for decades. Any one of them

Li Teng's strength is not comparable to that of Li Teng.

Secondly, this time we have to face Zhang Chu and Cao Fu at the same time.

Calculating the time, Zhang Chu and Cao Fu should arrive in the imperial city in the next two days. If the two gods of war are allowed to go on a killing spree here, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Commander Lin, do you have any countermeasures now?" Prime Minister Zuo asked solemnly.

Everyone looked at Lin Xiu, but Lin Xiu shook his head helplessly and said, "The general really can't think of any solution."

A general in armor stamped his feet and stepped out of the queue and said: "The general has asked for orders to lead his army to stop the attack. There are 30,000 elite Imperial Guards in the imperial city, and 50,000 Tiance troops stationed outside the city. In addition, the recent Shou

There are still 20,000 troops stationed in the city, which can be reached in half a day. With a combined army of 100,000, we may be able to fight in one battle!"

As soon as this man opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention, because he was Zhao Changmeng, the cavalry general of the Chen Kingdom. He was a first-rank official, guarding the eastern border, and was undefeated in a hundred battles. His realm had also reached the seventh realm of body tempering, and was not inferior to Lin Xiu.

His proposal was immediately echoed by many people. At this point, it was better to give it a try than to wait for death.

But Lin Xiu endured the pain in his body and stood up, shouting: "No!"

"General Zhao, you and I both know that the Nine Realm War God's body is as strong as steel and is invulnerable to mortal weapons. He is no longer a being that can be defeated with human sea tactics. Even if you lead an army of 100,000 to attack together, you will not be able to stop them at all.

It will only increase casualties."

It stands to reason that Zhao Changmeng's military rank is higher than that of Lin Xiu, and he is old enough to be Lin Xiu's father, but when faced with Lin Xiu's rebuke, he was not angry at all.

He just held the sword at his waist tightly, then turned his head and let out a helpless sigh, saying: "I don't know, but I really don't want to wait here to die."

Everyone was silent again, and an atmosphere of despair spread quietly.

However, at this moment, a guard in charge of the message rushed over and rushed into the hall regardless of appearance. He didn't even have time to salute before he gasped and said: "My lords, the two war gods of Zhou Dynasty are ten miles away from the imperial city.

They stopped at the Tianmen Gorge outside. According to the spies, when they reached the riverside and were about to cross the river, a huge wave swept up from the river and blocked the two gods of war."

"In the midst of the huge waves... in the huge waves..."

The guard might have choked because he was breathing too hard. Lin Xiu asked anxiously: "What happened in the huge waves? Please tell me clearly."

"Among the huge waves, there was a figure that looked exactly like His Majesty."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. Lin Xiu immediately ordered the imperial guards beside him: "Get ready, I want to go to Tianmen Gorge myself!"

"If you are really your Majesty, how can you let him fight alone!"

Zhao Changmeng laughed loudly, and was the first to step forward to support Lin Xiu, who was walking in vain, and said: "Just now you kept saying that the Nine Realms God of War was invincible, and now you can't sit still anymore."

"Nonsense, that's Your Majesty."

Seeing Lin Xiu's excited expression, Zhao Changmeng said quickly: "Hahahaha, if you are really Your Majesty, facing two gods of war one against two, I am convinced by your courage and courage. I, Old Zhao, will go with you on this trip."

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of determination in each other's eyes.

Zhao Changmeng helped Lin Xiu out of the hall, took the Yanyue sword from the guard outside the door, and shouted: "Young man of the Zhao family, how dare you follow me to meet the God of War of the Nine Realms!"

Lin Xiu also said loudly: "The imperial army obeyed the order and followed me out of the city to escort me. This time my opponent is the God of War of the Nine Realms. If you are afraid of death, please stay with me."

"Kill!" The sound of killing was loud for a moment, and no one, whether it was the imperial army or the personal guards brought by Zhao Changmeng, flinched.

The group of people mounted their war horses and filed out from the palace gate. The officials in the main hall were inspired and also rode their horses to follow.

An hour before Lin Xiu and others received the news and set off, Lin Xiao was firmly rooted to the bottom of the river like an extremely heavy boulder.

At Dugu's suggestion, he understood the various sword intentions of Tianxing's Nine Swords through the Great Freedom Contemplation. Although he could not fully understand all nine swords due to time constraints, he had already understood four of them. Here is the one he selected.

The last stop of this spiritual journey.

If you look carefully, you can see that there is a mysterious aura lingering around Lin Xiao's body, and the spiritual power in his body is rushing through his veins like the raging river.

"This style of countercurrent can barely scratch the surface." Lin Xiao sighed in his heart and was about to end the practice, but Dugu's voice sounded at this moment: "Boy, there are two Ninth Realm Body Tempering Realm coming outside. Look at the clothes.
Chapter completed!
