I made the villain right.

The Imperial Study in the Palace.

Xu Wusheng was reviewing memorials at his desk. When he unfolded the memorial presented by Sheng, his originally calm face instantly turned cold.

The memorial detailed how the people of Lu County were suffering from brutal oppression by the remnants of the Wuji Sect and were living in unrest.

Xu Wusheng frowned and threw the letter to the ground, his eyes full of anger and determination.

"How dare these Wujimen remnants repeatedly humiliate the people of Lu County and treat me like nothing!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand without hesitation and beckoned to Eunuch Hong beside him, saying in a cold and urgent tone: "Go quickly, and tell Shi's father and son to come to the palace to see me immediately!"

After receiving the order, Eunuch Hong left in a hurry like the wind.

At that time, Luo Yi appeared at the gate of Dali Temple holding a food box.

The guard at the door took a look at Luo Yi and asked, "Miss, are you here to ask Shi Shaoqing to deliver lunch?"

Luo Yi showed a hint of surprise when he heard this.

How did they know?

Did Shi Sheng specifically tell him about this?

"Yes, I'm here to give her something."

He said respectfully, "Miss, please come in."

Today, Shaoqing specifically told them that if a beautiful woman brought him lunch, they would not need to inform her to come in.

Luo Yi walked into the Dali Temple and saw that the buildings were arranged in an orderly manner and the lobby was grand and solemn, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings.

Inside the hall, a plaque with the words "Fair and Strict" hangs high above, which is intimidating.

She walked through several public rooms with their doors open and could see the officials inside, some concentrating on writing, some talking in low voices.

Seeing a clerk passing by, Luo Yi stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, but do you know where Shao Qing Shi is now?"

The clerk was friendly and did not refuse, saying, "Come with me."

"Thank you." Luo Yi.

In the slightly dim archive room of the Dali Temple, Shi Sheng was sorting files.

He raised his eyes inadvertently and saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

Instantly, an irrepressible joy blossomed on Shi Sheng's face.

But for some reason, he did not rush forward to greet him. Instead, he hurriedly reached out and picked up a file, pretending to review it. He also deliberately straightened his back, trying to put on his most meticulous and serious appearance in his daily life.

He knew that women prefer men who focus on their work.

Under the guidance of a clerk, Luo Yi came to Shi Sheng's office.

Her eyes were instantly attracted to Shi Sheng's focused gaze, and her pace unconsciously slowed down.

Looking at Shi Sheng's serious profile, Luo Yi's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of tenderness, and he was slightly absent-minded for a moment.

Looking at Shi Sheng's appearance, she couldn't bear to disturb him, so she curled the corners of her mouth slightly and was slightly absent-minded.

Although Shi Sheng pretended to focus on the files, his mind was entirely on Luo Yi.

When he caught a glimpse of her standing still, he pretended to look up casually, a smile of surprise instantly appearing on his face.

He quickly put down the file in his hand, not even caring about the few pages of paper on the table that were scattered.

Shi Sheng strode to Luo Yi's side, his voice filled with unconcealed joy, and whispered, "Here I am."

Wu Yu and Liu Jia seemed like the kind of subordinates who specialized in cleaning up their boss’s mess, desperately picking up the fallen papers from behind.

Liu Jia was used to observing people's expressions. After picking up the things, he whispered to Wu Yu, "Let's go, let's go."

Then the two of them tiptoed away and tactfully retreated.

Luo Yi took in the whole scene, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

After the two figures disappeared, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You have two good subordinates."

Shi Sheng raised his head slightly and said proudly: "A strong general has no weak soldiers under his command. My training is certainly not bad."

Luo Yi handed him the lunch box and he just took it.

I only heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and then I saw a palace guard rushing over, kneeling on one knee, and loudly announced: "Mr. Shi, His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace immediately!"

Luo Yi couldn't help but frown slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Did something happen?

After Shi Sheng put down the food box, he smiled back gently, indicating that she need not worry, and then left quickly with the guards.

At almost the same time, in the general's mansion, Shi Wei also received a summons to enter the palace.

Without any delay, he mounted his horse and galloped towards the palace.

Soon, the two arrived at the imperial study.

Xu Wusheng looked solemn and glared at the two men below. He said in a deep voice, "I order you and your son to lead the troops to wipe out the remnants of the Wuji Sect in five days and restore peace to the people of Lu County!"

Shi and his son knelt down to accept the order and vowed to fulfill their mission.

The night was as dark as ink, hanging heavily over the city of Jinzhou.

In the thick darkness, the cold wind whistled through the streets, bringing a chilly chill.

The guards on the city wall braced themselves, gripped their weapons tightly, and scanned the darkness outside the city vigilantly.

However, they did not realize that under the cover of night, a group of dark shadows were quietly approaching, and their figures could be seen both inside and outside the city.

Jinzhou City is the breakthrough point for Xu Wuchen to make a comeback, and he must take it.

With a "whoosh", an arrow flew out and pierced through the forehead of a guard, who fell to the ground with a bang.

The disciples of Wuji Sect moved as swiftly as ghosts and quietly dealt with the soldiers guarding the city under the cover of night.

Before the soldiers guarding the city could react, the city gate had been breached and opened.

A group of Wuji Sect disciples poured into the city.

The leader Xu Wuchen said to Youlan, "Youlan, you stay here and don't let anyone leave the city."

"Yes." Youlan responded.

Then he led the rest of the people straight to the prefectural government office.

At this time, the officers and soldiers in the prefectural government office responded hastily.

Qi Yang, Ling Xiao, and Ling Yun were all fighting on the scene, and the sounds of fierce fighting echoed in the night sky.

The prefect Liang Wen paced back and forth in the yamen, his hands covered in cold sweat.

Listening to the deafening sound of fighting outside, he was extremely anxious, his voice trembling a little: "Why haven't the garrison and the commander come to support us yet?"

"Do you know where the murderer came from?" Liang Wen asked anxiously again.

Assistant officer Shen Tong, who was thin and with a frown on his face, replied in fear: "I don't know."

At this moment, a soldier stumbled in, looking panicked: "Sir, the enemy's attack is too fierce, I'm afraid they will attack us soon. We will escort you away from here for the time being."

However, several guards had just escorted Liang Wen and Shen Tong out of the yard.

Qi Yang, Ling Yun and Ling Xiao have broken through the last line of defense and rushed in.

There was a flash of cold light, and before the guards could react, they were hit by the flying blades and fell to the ground.

Liang Wen and Shen Tong widened their eyes in horror and turned to run away.

Ling Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a wicked smile, "You want to escape, but can you still escape?"

Two flying blades were thrown, hitting the calves of the two men.

Accompanied by a scream, the two men fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

With a strong desire to survive, the two men continued to crawl forward without giving up.

Qi Yang strode forward, his eyes full of disdain, and stepped heavily on Liang Wen's back.

Liang Wen was humiliated, his face turned pale, and he shouted with his last bit of strength: "You traitors..."

Before he could finish his words, Qi Yang raised his knife and swung it down. A cold light flashed, and Liang Wen's voice stopped abruptly. Blood gushed out from his neck.

When Shen Tong saw the prefect being killed, his face was filled with horror and the muscles on his face were trembling. He struggled to get up and limped forward.

Ling Xiao had a bloodthirsty smile on his face, and pressed Shen Tong step by step, "It's already like this, and you still want to run away."

The next moment, he flashed and stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

Shen Tong screamed, as if all the strength had been drained from his body. He struggled in pain for a moment and then fell silent.

He fell slowly to the ground, blood pooling under him.

Under this sudden and fierce attack, the prefecture was quickly captured.

On his way, Xu Wuchen ran into the garrison and the commander who came to support him, and a fierce fight broke out.

The flashing of swords and the sounds of fighting woke up some of the sleeping people.

Some people, out of curiosity, cautiously peeked out through the cracks in the door or windows. When they saw people fighting for their lives on the street, they were suddenly frightened and turned pale. They quickly retracted their heads, closed the doors tightly, and dared not take another step out.

However, just when everyone was terrified and trying to avoid them, there was a brave man who rubbed his sleepy eyes, muttered dissatisfaction, and staggered out of the house, ready to curse at those who disturbed their dreams.

The man was standing at the door, shouting at the top of his voice: "It's the middle of the night, can't I sleep?"

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and shuddered violently, and his sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

It turned out that when he looked closely at the situation in front of him, he was shocked to realize that he had accidentally entered this bloody battlefield.

It was too late for him to turn around and run away. He saw a flash of cold light, and the long sword in the hand of a Wuji Sect disciple stabbed at him mercilessly.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the man died without even having time to scream.

The disciples of Wuji Sect are agile and fierce.

In the end, Wujimen quickly took control of the situation and captured all the captured officials and soldiers.

When they encountered some civilians on the street, the disciples of Wuji Sect killed them without mercy.

At this moment, Xu Zhou, the head of Ling Xiao Tang, was sleeping soundly in the house, but was awakened by the noisy fighting and screams coming from outside.

He frowned, keenly aware that something was wrong, and immediately stood up and shouted, "Someone come!"

A confidant named Zhou Quan came hurriedly, and Xu Zhou said solemnly: "There is an unusual movement outside, you should go and find out what happened."

After receiving the order, Zhou Quan carefully opened the door. Just after taking a few steps, he saw civilians being ruthlessly killed not far away.

The bloody scene startled him and his brows furrowed.

I was wondering why a group of thugs suddenly appeared and killed people at will without any government control.

Ling Xiaotang has a good relationship with the government, and they occasionally cooperate with each other, asking Ling Xiaotang to help investigate cases and catch criminals.

Zhou Quan suppressed his inner fear and quickened his pace as he ran towards the prefect.

Along the way, he tried to walk in the dark and avoid the sight of the thugs on the street.

However, the closer they got to the prefectural government office, the more obvious the signs of fighting became, with bloodstains and corpses everywhere.

Most of them were the bodies of officers and soldiers.

When Zhou Quan finally arrived at the prefectural government office, he found that it was surrounded by disciples of the Wuji Sect.

Flames shot up into the sky from the yamen, and the shouting and screaming had long since stopped.

He secretly thought that something was wrong and guessed that something might have happened to the prefect.

At this time, Xu Wuchen came to the prefectural government's gate with a group of captured officials and soldiers.

Qi Yang had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Xu Wuchen, he respectfully let him in.

When his eyes fell on Xu Wuchen's face, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

He recognized Xu Wuchen as the person in the wanted portrait, the former monarch, who was wanted by the new monarch for patricide, disorderly conduct in the court, and being unworthy of his position.

I didn't expect that he was hiding here and killing people at will, which makes people feel uneasy and terrified.

He hurried to the city gate again, only to see that it was closed, the city wall was full of thugs, and there was a group of people guarding the door.

He knew that something was wrong and did not dare to stay for long. He turned around and ran back, all the way back to Ling Xiaotang to report to Xu Zhou.

"Master, something terrible is happening! Jinzhou City has been occupied by a group of villains, who are wreaking havoc in the streets and killing innocent people. The leader is Xu Wuchen, a wanted criminal by the imperial court. Now, the prefect has been captured, and the governor is in danger. The garrison commander and the commander have been captured, and the city gates are also in their hands. They can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the situation is critical. How should we respond?"

"What! How could this happen in just one night?" Xu Zhou was shocked when he heard this.

He looked puzzled and murmured, "I think they had planned this long ago. So what exactly did he want to do by capturing Jinzhou City?"

After thinking for a moment, he gave an order: "It may not be easy to leave the city now. There are so many enemies in the city that it is hard to know how many there are. It is very risky to fight them to the death. Pass on my order and inform everyone in the hall that from now on, they must stay indoors and not go out rashly!"

"Yes," Zhou Quan responded and left in a hurry.

…………

Jinzhou City, this once peaceful city, fell silently on this night and fell into deathly silence and terror.
