Emperor Liang's eyes were full of surprise, even horror.
There are monks in the clan, and there are also monks trained in the palace. The old eunuch in the Sutra Library cleaned the attic when his grandfather was in power, and he is still alive today.
But this was far from resolving his panic.
Seven monks in the enshrinement building took action at the same time. How could Wen Yue be alive and walk in front of him?
The lights in the imperial study were brightly lit, and the other young eunuchs had already been evacuated by Gao Quan.
Gao Quan did not expect that despite all his warnings, there would still be a chance of survival if Wen Yue did not come back. However, he did not expect that Wen Yue would still come back and appear in front of Emperor Liang again despite the blockade of enshrining the immortal master.
He felt that Wen Yue had become different, as if he had become more pure.
Wen Yue did not want to kill Emperor Liang. Liang needed a wise king to prosper and the people to live a better life.
Except for being confused in the art of imperial balance, Emperor Liang's performance was pretty good in other aspects.
Accept advice, follow good advice, have the ability to think independently, and can also use embroidered clothes to shrink one's power.
It’s just that sometimes we don’t treat ordinary people as human beings.
There is nothing that can be done about it. As the third generation emperor of Daliang, he was born in a deep palace and raised as a woman. He does not have any deformities, but he is very addicted to the art of balancing, which is already rare.
With the technique of checks and balances, it is okay to use the inner court to balance the outer court. Without supervision, corruption will breed.
Relying on the self-consciousness of civil servants and military generals is ridiculous and generous.
He didn't feel anything was wrong before, but now that he had jumped out of the well and looked at it from a higher level, he didn't feel there was anything wrong. He just felt that the struggle for power was really disturbing and annoying.
He has the ability to suppress everything in front of him that makes him impatient. Naturally, he has to make his inner thoughts clear and clear the obstacles.
Wen Yue looked at the old eunuch standing next to Emperor Liang. This man was very handsome.
Following Wen Yue's gaze, Emperor Liang also looked to his side, his pupils narrowed slightly. There was no one beside him just now, but now one appeared.
He knew this man. He was the old eunuch who swept the stairs in the Sutra Pavilion.
With this person beside him, Emperor Liang breathed a sigh of relief and his expression became much more relaxed.
Emperor Liang was really afraid that Wen Yue would kill him directly.
The old eunuch hid his hands in the shadow next to the seat and remained inconspicuous.
Tu Shanjun inside the banner stared at the old eunuch, whose strength was at the seventh level of qi training. Unfortunately, he was old, his qi and blood were declining, and his strength was still declining. It was estimated that he would fall back to the middle stage of qi training in a few years.
Wen Yue didn't care about the old eunuch. He had confidence in his husband. If he was invincible, his husband would remind him now.
"You are still alive." Emperor Liang said with a complicated tone. He did not expect Wen Yue to survive.
Wen Yue looked at Emperor Liang, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please also find Zheng Zhong."
Emperor Liang was at a loss for words. He was silent for a long time and then asked, "How about I order him to be punished and send him to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb?"
Wen Yue didn't speak, just shook his head.
Of course he knew what Emperor Liang meant. Emperor Liang didn't want him to kill Zheng Zhong on the spot. So Emperor Liang came up with a compromise, which was to send Zheng Zhong to guard the tomb.
Regardless of whether Zheng Zhong was intercepted and killed by Wen Yue on the road, or after arriving at the mausoleum, Gao Quan arranged for Zheng Zhong to be planted in a manure pit and suffocated to death, as long as he did not die in the palace.
That was the second-in-command in the inner court. If Zheng Zhong died here, as the emperor, he would lose all face and dignity.
Not to mention facing the officials, he would never be able to raise his head in front of Wen Yue.
Emperor Liang suddenly raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and his tone of voice changed a bit: "Really not possible?"
"As long as you leave the palace gate, I will never care where Zheng Zhong goes."
"My dear, is it really not possible?"
The majestic emperor who used to be as inexpressible as Pinghu in his court now had to use a pleading tone just to keep his face apart.
Wen Yue lowered his head, he didn't want to see the former king like this.
But he had no choice. He had to use this thunderous method to scare everyone, so that everyone who wanted to plot against him would be afraid of him and not dare to have even the slightest thought.
Today he was soft-hearted and agreed to Emperor Liang's request. If someone will continue to deal with him tomorrow, will he still agree to the request and give him a decent death?
No, this is definitely not what he wants.
Wen Yue's face became a little more distorted. When he thought about the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers, when he thought about Old Man Xiang, San Hu, Wen Guang... so many people died because of him, how could he let Zheng Zhong die in a decent way?
.
It took Geng Lie Ling Chi three hundred blows to make him lose his soul.
Wen Yue didn't need Zheng Zhong to be punished, he just wanted him to disappear into thin air, as if he had never been in this world.
Wen Yue is still talking nicely now because he gave Emperor Liang face, because the people of Liang need the current Emperor Liang.
Wen Yue never forgot his original intention. What he wanted to protect was the people of Daliang.
Seeing that Emperor Liang wanted to say something else, the old eunuch beside him shook his head slightly.
Emperor Liang's expression was gloomy. He didn't have spiritual roots and didn't know how to be a monk, but he was also a first-rate master in the internal refining realm. There were so many things filled with mortal energy and blood stored in the palace that even a pig should be able to hold it.
What's more, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he doesn't dare to slack off at all.
But a monk is a monk.
Monks are more transcendent beings, and the so-called first-class internal organs refining is just a slightly stronger ant in the eyes of others.
The king of ants is still an ant.
"Come here, tell me about Zheng Zhong."
As soon as he said this, Emperor Liang seemed to have drained all his strength, slumped down on the dragon chair and closed his eyes.
Zheng Zhong walked to the meeting hall with an anxious mood.
As the second-in-command in the inner court, he also got the news.
He should have been afraid, but who would have thought that Wen Yue used a stupid move and killed a third-level official of the imperial court in anger. Even the great power he had to shake the sky disappeared after killing Geng Lie.
Your Majesty will definitely ask the envoys to deal with Wen Yue. If the envoys fail, then send a request to the Wuling Sect standing behind him.
As everyone knows, his ideas are too limited, and he doesn't understand the power of monks.
What he didn't expect was that there was no tense atmosphere in the hall.
There were only three people on the scene, His Majesty, the old eunuch from the Scripture Library, and the white-haired man standing in the hall with his back to him.
Wen Yue had already sensed the person coming without the need to release his spiritual consciousness.
"My servant comes to see Your Majesty."
The visitor quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zheng Zhong didn't know what outcome was waiting for him, and he felt uneasy in his heart. He couldn't raise his head when he didn't hear His Majesty's response.
Emperor Liang was in a complicated mood now. He felt that he was useless. Zheng Zhong was his domestic slave and he had no way to deal with it.
No, it is forced and cannot be dealt with.
And because Wen Yue became an immortal master, he was no longer his minister.
Everyone agrees that the immortal master is transcendent from the world.
When Emperor Liang faced Zheng Zhong's kowtow, he didn't know how to respond. His brows were furrowed, his expression was tangled but helpless, and he remained silent.
He could only wave his hand and let Wen Yue handle it on his own, he didn't want to interfere too much.
Zheng Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, became even more frightened. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Why hasn't your Majesty asked him to get up after so long?"
Wen Yue grabbed Zheng Zhong's collar, lifted him up from the ground, and laughed: "We finally meet."
But that smile looked inexplicably ferocious.
"Who are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of His Majesty!"
Zheng Zhong shouted angrily, trying to shake Wen Yue away, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break away from Wen Yue's control.
"My name is Wen Yue."
Hearing this, Zheng Zhong's pupils immediately dilated. He was shocked and turned pale. He raised his finger and pointed at Wen Yue. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"you……"
"I've already taken care of it, Geng Lie, now it's your turn."
"Do you have any last words to say?" Wen Yue did not take action, but told Zheng Zhong frankly.
Wen Yue was not in a hurry, and Tu Shanjun did not rush him. In fact, in Tu Shanjun's opinion, it was better to let his enemies be aggrieved ghosts, and there was no need to explain to them the ins and outs of the matter.
Just like when he turned against Zhao Shixian and Zhou Liang that day, if it weren't for the need to ask Zhou Liang questions, Tu Shanjun wouldn't have talked too much with them.
But this is Wen Yue, this is how he behaves, and he will tell others clearly.
Even though his personality has changed after the great change, he still retains most of his original temperament.
"It's you who blocked my way."
Zheng Zhong was also very stubborn. He just stared at Wen Yue and that was all he said until now.
If it blocks the road, it must be cleared.
Do you want to be so soft-hearted and stand still all your life, living a precarious life as a little eunuch who is bullied by others? Any steward can kill him, and any empress or concubine can kill him with a stick.
He wants to gain the respect of others, but also wants not to be bullied.
Wen Yue nodded slightly: "Okay, you are considered a person. Now that you have said your last words, go and die."
"I don't accept my fate!"
Zheng Zhong roared, the inner energy in his body exploded, and he punched Wen Yue.
A light-colored barrier stood in front of Zheng Zhong, blocking his progress.
No matter how hard he punched, he couldn't break the barrier.
"Why!" Zheng Zhong yelled.
Is this the difference between mortals and Qi practitioners?
Zheng Zhong did not seek help from Emperor Liang. When Wen Yue stood here intact, he knew that Emperor Liang could not control the current Wen Yue at all.
One punch.
There was a bang, and the sternum in front of Zheng Zhong's heart immediately sunk.
The heart was broken by this punch.
Zheng Zhong's eyes dimmed, his body twitched slightly twice and then stopped breathing, and fell to the ground weakly.
Wen Yue used his big hand to pull out Zheng Zhong's soul.
Use magic power to grind the soul to pieces, and in the end only a little starlight slipped through the gaps between Wen Yue's fingers.
By the time Emperor Liang came to his senses, Wen Yue had already left.
Emperor Liang sat on his chair, stared at the door in a daze, and murmured, "Cheng Lao, can't you even stop him?"
The old eunuch standing next to Emperor Liang looked at the door, then at the deeply shocked Emperor Liang, and then shook his head.
He could stop Wen Yue, but he could not stop the guardian Yin spirit standing behind Wen Yue in the front hall.
That is a being more powerful than him.
"no way."
"He is very strong, surprisingly strong."
A soft word fell on Emperor Liang's ears.
Emperor Liang did not expect to get such an answer. He finally sighed: "It turns out that immortality is more desirable than power."
Emperor Liang recognized the reality clearly, and he suddenly understood the reason why practitioners do not interfere with the secular world.
It's because they are too powerful and many people will die if they interfere even slightly.
After all, he is just a human being.
If you report the matter to the Shangzong, the Wuling Sect may not only ignore it, but may even think that a mortal dares to offend the Qi Practitioner and kill him.
When Emperor Liang came back to his senses and wanted to look for Chenglao, there was no one around him.
