Therefore, facing the warrior's initiative to surrender, Zhou Ming simply ignored it, turned around and walked out of the martial arts hall.

The Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, and its only advantage was its developed commerce. This was vividly reflected in the capital Lin'an.

People were coming and going on the street, various stalls were lined up on both sides, and shouts came and went.

This kind of prosperity is really gratifying.

But when Zhou Ming recalled the scene in Xiangyang City and compared it with Lin'an, he suddenly felt annoyed.

Recently, there have been more and more sightings of Mongolian cavalry outside Xiangyang City. On the one hand, they are harassing and arresting the people outside the city. On the other hand, they are also searching for intelligence. They are probably also paving the way for the arrival of the army.

This situation caused many people to evacuate one after another, and the rest were either determined to stay and resist the Mongolian army, or were too poor to leave.

The huge Xiangyang City was empty, but there were not many pedestrians in sight.

Of course Zhou Ming knew about such important military and political matters, even if ordinary people had the intention, they were powerless, but after seeing Lin'an's prosperity, he felt unhappy after all.

Just fly high into the sky and head straight to the palace.

In this world whose strength has been boosted by the Lord God, a powerful warrior is comparable to a large army. At Guo Jing's level, without an army of tens of thousands, there is no way he can be stopped.

Zhou Ming has been constantly challenging masters in the past twenty days, and has basically completed the two side tasks. It can be said that he has become famous instantly and has become a hot master in the world.

When someone like him enters Lin'an Mansion, it is like an army of ten thousand people arriving, and they will definitely be closely watched.

As soon as they saw Zhou Ming heading straight to the palace, all the spies around him who were paying attention to him became anxious and passed the news back to their masters.

It's just that their speed is too slow compared to Zhou Ming.

They had just set off, and Zhou Ming had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Forbidden area of ​​the palace! It is forbidden to move forward! Go back quickly!"

A guard stood on the city gate tower and shouted loudly.

"Get away!"

Zhou Ming slapped a palm, and the flaming palm focused on a city brick, followed by a violent explosion, which directly blew away the guard and all the surrounding soldiers.

Amidst the explosion, Zhou Ming leaped past and entered the palace.

As soon as the emperor's Qi-seeing technique was activated, Zhou Ming found the emperor easily.

The current emperor is Lizong of the Song Dynasty. In the first ten years after he took the throne, he basically did nothing, and his power was completely controlled by his ministers. Later, after he regained power, he worked hard for a while.

It was only for a while, and then I settled down.

The biggest thing he has done in his life is to unite with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Kingdom.

Not to mention, this move indeed made the border calm for several years.

Of course, the peace here refers to the emperor's perspective.

After swallowing up the Jin Kingdom, the Mongols set their sights on the Song Dynasty, but they still needed to digest the Jin Kingdom's territory, so it was impossible to send large numbers of troops southward in a short period of time.

Even so, raids by thousands or even thirty to fifty thousand troops are common.

However, these matters would never be brought to the emperor's attention, so the emperor thought that the Mongols would be satisfied after abiding by their covenant and swallowing up the Jin Kingdom.

Little did they know that Mongolia was absorbing the territory of the Jin Kingdom and integrating its forces. When they were ready, they would inevitably become the next Jin Kingdom.

When Zhou Ming found him, the emperor was still enjoying singing and dancing in a side hall.

Zhou Ming directly broke down the palace door and forced his way in.

"Bold Assassin!"

A red shadow appeared in front of the emperor in an instant, reaching out to block the emperor.

But he is an old eunuch with great martial arts skills.

"Get out of the way, I'm not looking for you!"

Zhou Ming fired out a sword energy with his hand, piercing the old eunuch's shoulder, sending him flying out and nailing him to the wall.

Because the speed was so fast, the emperor couldn't even react and was stunned.

"Emperor, you are living a good life these days!"

"Ah? You... who are you, dare to break into the palace? How brave!"

"My courage is indeed quite great!"

Zhou Ming stretched out his hand, and the drink placed in front of the emperor was brought to him. Under the influence of a cold force, it turned into thin ice flakes and was injected into the emperor's body by Zhou Ming.

Driven by Zhou Ming's power, the ice pieces formed by the life and death talisman melted into water in an instant and merged into the emperor's body.

The emperor immediately felt an extremely itchy feeling at the affected area. He quickly reached out to scratch it, but it became more and more itchy. Unconsciously, he used too much force and even scratched the skin. Severe pain was felt, but it was also accompanied by itching.

"Life...life and death talisman..."

The old eunuch who was nailed to the wall struggled and said.

There are still traces of the Xiaoyao sect during the Northern Song Dynasty. It is normal for the Southern Song Dynasty to succeed the Northern Song Dynasty and leave some information about the Xiaoyao sect.

"Since I know it is a talisman of life and death, I should advise the emperor well. As long as he obeys me, I will naturally help him relieve his pain."

The old eunuch gritted his teeth and said: "Impossible. Your Majesty is the emperor and a nobleman. How can he, the destined emperor, be as reckless as you..."

"I'm convinced! I'm convinced!"

The emperor's wailing voice directly interrupted the old eunuch's words. The power of the life and death talisman was such that even those strong and determined warriors could not survive for a few minutes, let alone the emperor who was well-dressed and well-fed, and had hardly suffered.

In just ten seconds, the emperor couldn't bear the itching and severe pain. When he heard Zhou Ming say that as long as he surrendered, Zhou Ming would help him relieve the pain, and he immediately expressed his acceptance.

The old eunuch was speechless for a moment, but looked at Zhou Ming angrily.

An old eunuch like him who accompanies the emperor and protects him must have been trained since childhood and has been brainwashed for a long time. Even if the emperor ordered him to die, he would be willing to do so.

The emperor's words made him slapped in the face, but he would not blame the emperor. He only felt that it was because of Zhou Ming.

Seeing that the emperor had surrendered, Zhou Ming controlled the life and death talisman from the air and stopped the torture.

Taking advantage of the situation, he sent out another sword energy and killed the old eunuch.

The emperor watched helplessly, but was indifferent.

The most ruthless emperor's family can't be said.

"This... this strong man, I don't know why you came to me?"

Zhou Mingdao: "Excuse me, please summon all the ministers here according to the specifications of the early morning court."

"yes."

Half an hour later, all the officials of fifth rank and above in Lin'an Mansion arrived, but Zhou Ming did not let them enter any of the main halls, but lined up and waited outside the hall.

After everyone arrived, he led the emperor out of the hall.

In order to avoid trouble, naturally the emperor was in front and he was in the back.

Among the ministers, there were indeed a few who had great eyes and hands. They paid special attention to Zhou Ming and recognized Zhou Ming as the famous sword god in the world recently. They were quite surprised.

But in the palace, it can be said that there are many masters. Do they have any doubts?

"Your Majesty," a minister said, "Why did you suddenly summon the ministers today? Could it be that something big happened? And why are you outside this palace?"

In the Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats jointly governed the world. The power of the ministers was so great that it was a bit boundless.

The emperor looked at Zhou Ming with some fear, and Zhou Ming stood up and said: "I summoned you because I have something to say, and I left it outside the palace for convenience."

Along with his words, large swaths of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. The originally clear sky turned completely dark in the blink of an eye.

This strange weather really surprised the ministers.

I even forgot to ask Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming said: "According to reliable information, there have been changes in Mongolia recently. I am afraid that either this year or next year, a million troops will go south, and the target is naturally us. But as far as I know, there is an urgent shortage of soldiers in the border cities.

Thousands of people are actually just hundreds or hundreds of people. In addition, military pay has not been paid for months, even years and decades. So, I..."

"absurd!"

A minister who seemed to be a third-grade minister bravely stood up and shouted: "Mongolia and the Song Dynasty have signed an alliance..."

Click!

A bright light flashed between heaven and earth.

Lightning burst out from the dark clouds and struck the minister directly.

The black corpse fell, making everyone's heart skip a beat.

The emperor almost knelt down.

I thought he was a reckless man with great strength, but now it seems that he may be an immortal descending from the sky!

"When I'm talking, I don't like to be interrupted. Do you understand?"

Zhou Ming said softly.

There was silence below, probably still in the state of surprise and not reacting.

Zhou Ming continued: "So, next you have to replenish the troops in all the border cities, pay the soldiers, and prepare enough food and grass.
Chapter completed!
