Chapter 19 The emperor died suddenly and the princes fought in chaos

The village that Zhao Mu and the others were looking for was called Liujiacun, located halfway up the Feilai Peak outside the capital.

     Zhao Mu stood on a big tree and looked into the distance.

     At the foot of Feilai Peak, an army of tens of thousands was seen marching toward the capital in a mighty manner.

     The army was highly disciplined, and there was no other noise except footsteps during the march. It was obviously not an ordinary army.

     "There is no war in the Jin Dynasty now, and the capital is guarded by imperial guards. Logically speaking, armies from other places should not be allowed to approach the capital, but this army..."

     Zhao Mu pursed his lips.

     The abnormal mobilization of the army shows that something has indeed happened in the capital, and it is the kind of big event that can break the sky.

     Fortunately, Zheng Jingren reminded him that he was able to leave the vortex of conflict first.

     Next, let's stay in Liujia Village. Few people come to this remote place, so it shouldn't be too affected.

     I just don't know when this incident in Beijing will end?

     …

     Time passes day by day.

     In the next period of time, the number of troops coming and going from the foot of the mountain became more and more frequent.

     Even two days ago, two armies met and started a fierce fight directly at the foot of the mountain, causing countless casualties.

     According to villagers who occasionally go out, it is now chaos outside.

     The capital has been completely blocked by the army, and outside the capital, there are armies from all sides that are constantly fighting and fighting.

     As the world became more and more chaotic, many bandits appeared who were plundering everywhere.

     Among those bandits, some were real robbers who took advantage of the chaos;

     Some were deserters who had lost the battle;

     But there are also real troops pretending to be bandits.

     I heard that many mountain villages outside the capital had been plundered by bandits. The men were killed directly, while the women were beaten to death, ending miserably.

     For a time, the villagers in Liujia Village did not dare to go out anymore, and everyone was frightened.

     As for the source of the chaos in the capital, it turned out to be his sudden death a month ago today.

     Pursuing immortality all your life will ultimately be in vain.

     Originally, after the emperor died, the funeral should be handled according to the rules. When the funeral was over, the prince could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

     Unexpectedly, rumors suddenly spread among the government and the public, saying that when the Great Vajra Pill was lost, it was actually stolen by someone sent by the prince.

     Because if the emperor really extended his life by twenty years at that time, then the prince would have to be the crown prince for another twenty years.

     The prince was unwilling to do this, so he stole the Diamond Pill and wanted the emperor to die soon.

     But I never thought that even if there was no Mahavajra Pill, the emperor would drag his illness and still linger on for many years.

     Even though they have already supervised the country, even though they already have great power.

     But being a prince was not as comfortable as being an emperor, so the prince plotted again and secretly killed the emperor.

     This incident was just a rumor at the beginning, but later, someone suddenly came up with evidence that could prove that it was indeed the prince who murdered the emperor.

     The person who provided evidence was an official from the Xuanjing Division named Zheng Jingren.

     Now the whole capital was completely in a state of shock.

     How can a man who kills his king and his father become emperor?

     Regardless of whether the evidence provided by Zheng Jingren was credible or not, the other princes believed it anyway.

     Soon, various princes launched a coup in the name of the prince's rebellion.

     Of course, the prince could not sit still and wait for death, so he immediately fought back with all his strength, and a bloody battle for the throne began in the capital.

     It is said that the battle was very tragic, and countless people in the capital were killed and injured.

     However, the battle between the prince and the princes did not end quickly, but continued for a long time, so that both inside and outside the capital, and even the entire Jin Dynasty, fell into chaos.

     After getting this news, Zhao Mu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

     No wonder Zheng Jingren asked him to leave the capital. The other party had obviously known for a long time that the emperor would suddenly die suddenly, and he even got evidence of the prince's murder of the emperor.

     It's literally walking on a knife's edge.

     No wonder Zheng Jingren said that if he could survive this time, he would be able to take the position of Chief Secretary and control the entire Xuanjing Division.

     After all, he was the one who overthrew the prince. No matter which prince stood behind Zheng Jingren, as long as the other prince ascended the throne and became emperor, he must reward Zheng Jingren.

     I just don't know which prince Zheng Jingren belongs to?

     Things outside have nothing to do with Zhao Mu.

     He has been staying in Liujiacun, preparing to go out after the situation has completely calmed down.

     To ensure safety, Zhao Mu had released all the sravakas since arriving in Liujiacun, and was always alert to the surrounding movements.

     Nowadays, after more than ten years of cultivation, the Shravaka Gu has reached the middle-grade level, and its monitoring range can reach more than three miles in radius.

     Liujiacun is not a big place, so Zhao Mu can detect it immediately no matter what happens around him.

     That night, Zhao Mu, Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun were sleeping.

     The two women's cultivation has been ruined, and now they have no ability to protect themselves, so they have been very nervous recently, for fear that bandits will suddenly rush into the village and rob them.

     Especially at night, they refused to leave Zhao Mu even a step, as honest as little rabbits.

     in the dark.

     Zhao Mu suddenly opened his eyes and walked out the door quietly.

     He stood in the yard, controlled his voice and hearing Gu and listened carefully. The next moment, he stood up from the ground and rushed directly into the darkness to the west.

     To the west of Liujia Village is a dense forest.

     At this time, a group of nearly a hundred bandits were walking through the woods and quietly approaching Liujia Village.

     Each of them looked fierce, and the weapons in their hands glowed coldly in the moonlight.

     At this time, the bandits had reached the edge of the woods and were looking at Liujia Village not far away.

     The leader, the burly middle-aged man, whispered: "Brothers, please be more agile in a moment. Kill all the men without leaving any behind. Take all the women and property back to the village for enjoyment. Do you understand?"

     "Don't worry, boss. This isn't the first time we've done this. We know each other very well. I promise not to leave anyone alive."

     A guy with a sinister eyebrow laughed and said.

     "Okay, let's do it then. Finish it quickly. I still want to go back to the village and sleep with my wife."

     The burly middle-aged man waved his hand, and the bandits licked their lips one by one, preparing to rush into Liujia Village and plunder.

     But at this moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of them.

     "who?"

     The bandits stopped and the burly middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice.

     Zhao Mu said expressionlessly: "Everyone, you really shouldn't be here."

     "Why, is this a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?"

     The burly middle-aged man sneered: "Looking at your clothes, you are a villager in this village, right? Are you pretending to be pretentious? Why, do you think you can scare us away?"

     "No, I'm going to kill you, but before I do it, I hope you can answer a few questions for me."

     Zhao Mu touched his waist with his right hand, and a soft sword radiating cold light appeared in his hand.

     This is a water-singing sword that he specially made two years ago, but he has never seen blood.

     But today the opportunity came.

     The "Miyu Fei Foil Sword" taught by Hua Xinzi is a top-level swordsmanship that specializes in using soft swords. It can be used with the water chanting sword to exert its maximum power.

     Coupled with the current Hou Tian Ji cultivation level, he really didn't take these bandits seriously.
