After Lin Bai came back, he immediately purged the court.
Zhuo Lian personally led the Shenwu Sword Camp to arrest all the ministers and families in the imperial city mentioned in Yang Cheng's memorial.
Chu Jiangliu led the army to capture all the ascetics in the city and imprison them. Anyone who resisted would be killed on the spot.
The National Preceptor Shang Lang clasped his fists happily and said: "Your Majesty, today the court will be purged and the evil monks will be arrested. The Lingnan Imperial City can return to its previous peace. But now outside the Shenwu Kingdom... Beizhou and Nanzhou are still watching with eagerness, and we must not underestimate it.
Look at it."
Before Emperor Xiao could speak, Lin Bai smiled and said, "What do you think the Imperial Master has to say?"
The national master Shang Lang said solemnly: "Although I am a civil servant, if the Sword Prince needs me, I am willing to serve the Sword Prince in front of the horse and behind the horse, so as to use my meager strength."
"Hahaha." Lin Bai laughed heartily: "Then please trouble the Imperial Master to do something for me."
Shang Lang looked at Lin Bai doubtfully: "Please give me your instructions, Lord Sword."
Lin Bai chuckled and said: "Immediately tell the world that I, Lin Bai, have left the seclusion and ordered all dynasties and families in Beizhou and Nanzhou to come to court immediately. Anyone who does not come within half a month will bear the consequences."
"Chu Jiangliu, half a month is enough for you to deal with the ascetics in the imperial city."
Chu Jiangliu nodded and said: "Half a month is enough time."
Lin Bai said with a smile: "Then it will be hard on you. After taking care of the ascetic, I guess you won't be able to rest, and you will immediately follow me to conquer the world."
Chu Jiangliu said overjoyed: "Prince Jian, to be honest, I have been waiting for this day. Please rest assured, Prince Jian, maybe I can take care of the ascetic in less than half a month. I will order some ice immediately."
Send generals to fight against the Southern and Northern continents with Lord Sword."
Lin Bai smiled and nodded.
The Golden Palace is very lively today.
Some people are happy and some are sad.
At noon, the officials left the palace.
At the same time, Zhuo Lian had begun to lead the Shenwu Sword Camp to sweep away the lawless elements inside and outside the Lingnan Imperial City.
Chu Jiangliu also led Chu Jiangliu to clear out the ascetics everywhere in the imperial city. According to Lin Bai's instructions, anyone who resisted would be killed on the spot.
After the imperial city has experienced several years of chaos, it is finally beginning to regain its clarity this time.
From the hands of the national master Shang Lang, an edict spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of Nanzhou and Beizhou.
There is a sentence in the edict that makes both Nanzhou and Beizhou feel uneasy. This sentence is: "Lin Bai, the iron-blooded sword king of Shenwu Kingdom, has left seclusion."
…
Beizhou, the ancient country of Loulan.
The Loulan Ancient Kingdom occupies a huge territory in Beizhou, but it has always been a very low-key dynasty on the ancient continent.
Beizhou is sparsely populated, has a harsh environment, and has very few cultivation resources. As a result, almost no one on the land of Beizhou can grow enough to compete with the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
Although the Loulan Ancient Kingdom is low-key, its overall national strength is not weak. After all, it has been spread across the land of Beizhou for hundreds of thousands of years, and its underlying resources are still extremely abundant.
In the Golden Palace of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, the old monarch held the edict from the Shenwu Kingdom in his hands, which made his hands tremble.
After he read it, he immediately took down the edict and showed it to other ministers in the palace one by one.
"My dear friends, what should we do?"
"Lin Bai is out of confinement."
The old monarch looked melancholy.
Originally, the ancient Loulan Kingdom sent troops because the Shenwu Kingdom and the Central Holy Kingdom were fighting an inextricable battle, and wanted to gain some benefits from it.
But unexpectedly, the benefits were not reaped, but instead the anger of the Shenwu Kingdom was aroused.
Prince Qilin below the Golden Palace said: "Father, Lin Bai has not left seclusion at all. He should have returned from the Tomb of the Gods. In the early years, the spies we sent to the Lingnan Imperial City reported back that there was no one in the imperial city.
Discover the retreat of Sword Prince Lin Bai."
"Based on all the guesses, we can only go to the Tomb of the God."
"That day in the Beilu Mountains, a fierce battle was going on between my son and the Shenwu Army. I really saw Lin Bai driving a giant sword down from the sky."
"Later, the spies reported back that after Lin Bai left the Beilu Mountains, he rode a dragon all the way south and returned to the Lingnan Imperial City!"
"It is conceivable that he should have gained considerable power in the Tomb of the God!"
The old monarch took a deep breath, and his face became ferocious: "I thought we could get a piece of the action while the battle between the Shenwu Kingdom and the Central Holy Kingdom was in full swing, but unexpectedly, we ended up in this situation. Alas, early on
You know you shouldn’t have intervened in these disputes in the first place, so why don’t you just take care of Beizhou?”
"Now that Lin Bai is out of seclusion, the Kingdom of Shenwu has sent an edict, instructing the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan to come to court within half a month. If you don't go, you will be responsible for the consequences."
"This is obviously giving us an ultimatum."
Prince Qilin rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Father, don't worry. Although Lin Bai went to the Tomb of the Gods and broke through to the Tao realm, I believe he will not be too strong in just two or three years. We at Loulan
Naturally, there are treasures in the ancient country to deal with powerful people in the Tao realm. If Lin Bai comes to kill us, we will still be able to fight."
"Besides, the people who attack the Shenwu Kingdom are not only our Beizhou, but also the Nanzhou and Xizhou?"
The old monarch asked: "What is my son's advice?"
Prince Qilin pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "My son thought that the end is now over. We are already in a dilemma. If we go to the Lingnan Imperial City to pay homage to Emperor Xiao, the ancient Loulan Kingdom will also decline. Now that things have happened, we can only fight with our last resort."
"My father should immediately unite with all the powerful people in Beizhou, especially the Sword God Family, and ask them to help the ancient Loulan Kingdom and tell them the truth about the death of lips and teeth."
"With the help of these strong men, coupled with the favorable time, place and people we already occupy in Beizhou, and the inherited treasure of our ancient Loulan country, even if the Shenwu Kingdom's legion comes to kill, we are not afraid of them."
"In addition, we have already started a war with the Shenwu Kingdom, but the powerful dynasty on the ancient continent is not only the Shenwu Kingdom, but also the Central Holy Kingdom!"
"Compared to the Shenwu Kingdom, I am still more optimistic about the Central Holy Kingdom. After all, the Central Holy Kingdom has a background in the upper world. Once a strong person from the upper world comes down to earth, even if Lin Bai has the ability to reach heaven, he will be killed."
"Father should immediately send a letter of peace to the Central Holy Kingdom, stating the position of the Ancient Loulan Kingdom, resolutely supporting the Central Holy Kingdom, and thus requesting the Central Holy Kingdom to send troops to assist the Ancient Loulan Kingdom!"
"Once we receive assistance from the Central Holy Kingdom, it will be of great benefit to our Loulan Ancient Kingdom."
When the old monarch heard what Prince Qilin said, his eyes lit up and he praised with satisfaction: "My son is good at planning, so just do what my son said!"
"Summon the powerful men from the Sword God Family and other forces in Beizhou immediately."
"In addition, send envoys to the Central Holy Kingdom to ask for help."
In an instant, the ancient Loulan Kingdom of Beizhou began to stir, and the entire land of Beizhou was filled with an invisible smoke of gunpowder.
