The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital

Chapter 107: The King of War is here, the capital will be safe

Su Mo's eyes widened, and then they lit up. He knelt on one knee, clasping his hands together and saying, "I am willing to be your vanguard, and go through fire and water to slay the clan leader!"

The rain stopped, the wind died down, and the flames blazed. Su Mo's once handsome scholarly face was now filled with determination. Having abandoned literature for martial arts, no one knew how long the fire in his heart had burned.

What price is he willing to pay?

He could not forget that his father, a bastard who never caused any trouble, committed suicide inexplicably. The old lady who practiced the Zen of keeping silent gave him a name that was unfilial and unbrotherly. His father's suicide to prove his innocence became a joke, and their lineage was directly expelled from the clan.

Without status, there is no right to speak. The Su family rose rapidly, but Su Mo was stigmatized and his path to advancement was cut off.

The kind but ruthless old lady, the hypocritical cousin, the unsophisticated cousin-in-law, and the empress dowager who lives far away in the harem but can influence the court.

This is just the foundation of the Su family.

Adding in his in-laws, the Shen and Zhuang families, Su Mo's attempt to clear his name was like an ant trying to shake a tree. Even so, he, a top scholar, ended up following his father-in-law's path and entering the Five Cities Military Commission.

He risked his life, tore off his own face and stomped on it, and finally got to where he is today.

And what Shen had said when the Prime Minister's Mansion was handling the Qingtuan case was right. He was just a sixth-rank official. How dare he act so wildly in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

In this life, if nothing unexpected happens, Su Mo will stop at the sixth rank.

With the Su family around, he can't get promoted.

But unexpectedly, it happened when Su Jixue went to the Zhan Palace to report the case. Now, it is a major opportunity in his life that should not be missed.

He is willing to give everything for this and never regret it even if he dies!

Su Mo looked at the legendary figure of their Dong Chu with a burning gaze, someone whom he could not reach even if he stood on tiptoe before.

"Take your men and secretly guard the palace, and focus on observing whether there are any abnormalities in and out." The War King pointed out several palace gates to Su Mo and nodded at the one he thought was the most important one. "Is it possible?"

The War King asked calmly, but his voice carried the majesty of a superior emanating from his bones.

Su Mo first glanced at the War King in shock, then looked down at the two palace gates that the War King pointed at. He had thought his heart was as still as a stone and would never be moved by anything again, but the War King was actually pointing at the Imperial Palace?!

"Your Highness!" Su Mo's voice trembled slightly as he tried to maintain his composure. This was the capital of Dongchu, and that was the regent of Nanqing. Yet, the War King had asked him to secretly guard the gates of the imperial palace. "Are you worried about thieves attacking the gates, or...?"

He couldn't continue the conversation.

Su Mo thought that the most difficult thing in life was the uncertainty of that night many years ago. But tonight, everyone in the palace was the most powerful and noble of Dongchu. Could they be colluding with Nanqing?!

"Why do you think Nanqing was able to plant so many obstacles in my Dongchu capital?" The War King looked at the commotion in front of him and the occasional fire that had not yet been extinguished. His narrow black eyes and long eyelashes were wet with rain and looked unusually handsome, but his eyes were as cold as an ice knife.

His white clothes were already soaked, and the blood on his body had been soaked into red clumps by the rain. It was shocking to look at, but it also made the War King's figure look even thinner and taller.

The War King didn't look at Su Mo. His eyes were fixed on the most intense place where swords, guns, shouts and killing were happening, as if he could see the situation over there through the roofs.

"You ask why I didn't pursue them?" The War King said coldly, "If I had pursued them, the casualties in the capital would have been far greater than this."

Zong Kui is afraid of the War King and will not hesitate to use all his thunderbolts.

"A military commander's duty is to defend the country from danger and protect the people's peace."

The War King raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Su Mo lightly. Su Mo had resentment, hatred, and unrequited family feuds in his heart, so he could put aside his scholarly views and climb up by any means necessary, but he also had his own ambitions and should not be confined to this world.

Su Mo took a deep breath. The War King was pointing at him.

He submitted his pledge of allegiance, so the King of War was choosing him.

"Go."

The War King was arrogant and indifferent. He waved his hand at Zong Kui and said, "This is Dong Chu. With me here, he can't escape!"

The War King clearly looked frail and even sat in a wheelchair.

But as soon as he said this, it seemed as if people could see the golden weapons and iron horses and the magnificent battlefield.

When the War King said he was there, people felt inexplicably at ease.

"Your Highness, take care!" Su Mo bowed and resolutely turned. The War King stirred the long-cooled passion within him. He had once studied diligently, determined to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, to carry on the lost knowledge of the sages, and to bring peace to the world. But now, only hatred remained in his heart.

Only now did I realize that his passion was still strong and he still had the heroic spirit of a young man.

Su Mo just glanced and saw that not only was there a mark on the palace gate for the War King, but the four major gates of the capital city in the east, west, south and north were also marked in red, which meant that there were also arrangements.

Now, the responsibility of the palace has been handed over to him.

Not guarding, but supervision.

He will live up to everyone's expectations.

Su Mo called for the trustworthy men from the Five Cities Military Department and disappeared into the night with them.

The War King glanced at their backs, lowered his eyes and began to deduce on the city defense map again.

Tonight, in the capital, the Jingji Guards, Jinwu Guards, and Wucheng Bingmasi, who had previously been at odds with each other, each performed their duties, extinguishing fires, rescuing people, and delivering medical services. Their arrogance, once a source of resentment among the people, had made them the target of widespread resentment. This was the first time they faced such a disaster in the capital, and they were all working with all their might to save lives.

Unprecedented unity.

It was also the first time that these people felt the wholehearted trust and gratitude of the people. It was as if something that had already existed in their hearts broke through the ground and gradually sprouted.

They straightened their backs unconsciously, and had a sense of conviction like those mighty-looking generals and guards in Prince Zhan's palace.

Under the continuous night rain, the figure sitting in the wheelchair and standing like a mountain became the stabilizing force in everyone's eyes.

he is.

The capital will be safe.

In a pitch-black jar.

Su Jixue pinched her nose and tried to eat her heart, but failed.

Her blood can materialize souls and allow them to come into contact with objects moistened by her blood, but it cannot allow her to eat.

Su Jixue tried several more times, but it still didn't work. She couldn't bite it at all.

"Quick, take out that jar. The master needs it tonight."

Su Jixue froze.

So, it's a jar, not an urn?

master?

Su Jixue wanted to hear more information, but the people outside just acted silently and didn't make any more noise.

The jar was picked up silently, the liquid inside swayed slightly, and Su Jixue also felt dizzy.

Then, the jar was put down again, as if it was put into a carriage. The sound of horse hooves could be faintly heard, as well as the sound of fighting in the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage moved forward.

Someone was thrown heavily into the carriage, and the cans made a dull sound when they hit the carriage.

hiss~

The person thrown in gasped in pain, then groaned, "This king is injured, can't you be gentler?"

Su Jixue's hairs stood on end.

The person who came is Zong Kui!
