How can a thousand crematoriums be enough?

Leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yu Mao glanced at the sky, it was clearly a sunny day, but he felt so cold, from head to toe.

He took out the previous token from his pocket, his eyes darkened, "The chief of the dark guard listens to the order."

"Meet the master." Two men in black suddenly appeared in front of Yu Mao.

Yu Mao pointed to the person on the left, "Take one person to sneak into Xuanhua Temple and wait for orders."

Fu pointed to the person on the right again, and took out a tiger charm, "Go and summon General Yang Jian to lead the army back to Beijing!"

"Yes."

Watching the two disappear, Yu Mao looked at the order talisman in his arms again, this order talisman can mobilize all the Imperial Forest Army in the imperial city.

As for the tiger talisman, it symbolizes one-third of the Tianyuan Dynasty's military strength, as long as...

Led by the dark guards, Yu Mao also sneaked into Xuanhua Temple.

Originally, it would be faster for the Imperial Forest Army to encircle Xuanhua Temple, but now that the things are not available, it is best not to disturb Zhong Yunde, Zhong Yunwen, and Zhao Anchao.

Zhao Anchao has secretly returned to Beijing, but the army has not yet arrived.He had to find the things hidden in Xuanhua Temple before the army horse with two-thirds of the dynasty's strength arrived.

"Yu Zhu, master sees that you have been restless recently, but do you have something on your mind?"

"nothing."

The host chuckled, "I'm worried about the Ninth Prince."

Yu Zhu paused while flipping through the scriptures, and said in a calm tone, "The Ninth Prince has nothing to do with me, why should I worry."

The host smiled and said nothing.Some things are better to be understood by yourself.

Neither of them noticed outside the window, a figure flashed by,

Yu Mao left the window, the light in his eyes dissipated.

Gently lower your eyelids, that's all.

The window slammed softly, Yu Zhu looked over, but saw no one.

-

"Ninth Prince, I have never seen it anywhere." The dark guard reported.

Yu Mao didn't speak, but looked at the huge Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall from a distance, and made a guess.Suddenly, I saw a few pilgrims staying in the Buddhist hall. Although they were burning incense, they kept looking at the Buddha statue.

not good!

"Qi and Si are watching the Buddha statue here, and don't let anyone get close. Wu and Lu followed me to find Meng Jing."

"Yes."

Imperial City Gate

"Ninth Prince." Meng Jing bowed, "I don't know what the Ninth Prince is looking for in person?"

Yu Mao didn't say much, just showed the token, "Meng Jing listens."

Seeing this token, Meng Jing's expression suddenly changed, and he knelt down on one knee with his hands clasped, "The Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Meng Jing, takes orders!"

"Immediately lead the army to surround Xuanhua Temple, and no one is allowed to let go."

"Yes!"

Group after group of soldiers ran towards Xuanhua Temple quickly, and the people on the street talked a lot.

"What happened here? Why is there such a big movement in the Royal Forest Army?"

"I don't know, but my eyelids have been twitching for the past few days. Could it be that something is going to happen?"

"Close your crow's mouth quickly, what can happen."

"They seem to be heading towards Xuanhua Temple!"

"Really."

The Xuanhua Temple was already in chaos, and several pilgrims suddenly became violent and wanted to rush towards the Buddha statue.At this moment, four men in black rushed out from two directions.

Although the martial arts of the hidden guards were far superior to those of the pilgrims, the number of pilgrims who kept appearing from the dark was more than ten times that of the dark guards, and the two sides fought hard.

"What's going on here!" Jinghui was almost shot by a dark dart, but it was Yuzhu who saved her life.

Jing Xin quickly pulled Jing Hui behind her, and asked the abbot, "Abbot, what's going on, who are they?!"

The purpose of the two parties is very clear, the Buddha statue.

The abbot closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Amitabha, this day is still here."

Yu Zhu frowned, "Master, is this the big deal you're talking about?"

The abbot shook his head and signaled Yu Zhu not to stop it, "This dispute has just begun, and we are powerless to interfere."

Suddenly, heavy footsteps began to be heard in the distance, one after another.

Jingci and the other five disciples hurried over, anxious, "Abbot, we are surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army!"

Jing Hui was so young that she almost cried, "What the hell is going on? We didn't do anything."

Countless imperial guards rushed in, almost filling up the vacant space in front of the Buddhist hall, and then separated, leaving a path that only one person could pass through.

Under the gazes of the crowd, either doubtful or terrified, a young man in a blue robe slowly walked in

In the evening, the dazzling yellow light shone down, the corners of the young man's lips were tightly pursed, his face expressionless.Although young, he is imposing.

Just now, he received a secret letter from the hidden guard left in the palace.

Emperor, dead...

Yuzhu looked at the person in disbelief

Yu cat?

"This, isn't this a kitten..."

Jing Hui's mouth was covered by Jing Xin, and Jing Xin said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense, you don't want to die."

Jing Ci was also horrified. Yu Mao, who had played well with them a while ago, was able to mobilize the Imperial Forest Army.

What is his identity?

Yu Mao looked at those people pretending to be pilgrims with a gloomy expression, and raised his hand, "Take it!"

With the addition of the Royal Forest Army, the pilgrims who could barely fight against the hidden guards fell into a disadvantage in an instant, and not long after, the remaining people who were still alive fell to their knees on the ground with their hands cut behind their backs.

The hidden guard stepped forward in time, removed the poison hidden in the teeth of those people, and unloaded the people's jaws to prevent the other party from committing suicide.

Yu Mao stepped forward, followed by two hidden guards to protect him at all times.

I took a look at the Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall, and it was fine.

"Meng Jing."

Meng Jing walked up to Yu Mao, "The Ninth Prince orders."

"Smash that Buddha statue."

Although he didn't understand, but with Yumao's token in his hand, he just had to obey orders.

Meng Jing found five people and stepped forward to smash the Buddha statue.

"Why are you smashing the Buddha statue!" Jing Hui couldn't bear it anymore, and broke away from Jing Xin's hand.

He ran up to the Buddha statue, his eyes were red, "This Buddha statue was built by the emperor many years ago, you can't smash it!"

"Jinghui, come back."

Before Yu Mao could speak, the host spoke first.

Jing Hui was not reconciled, "Abbot, this Buddha statue..."

"return."

The abbot shook his head, "Jinghui, everything has a cause and effect. This Buddha statue was built for a reason, and now it's time to return the result."

Yu Mao looked at the abbot, "Abbot, do you know the reason?"

The abbot bowed to Yu Mao, "Isn't that why the Ninth Prince led his troops here today?"

"......Yes."

Noticing a particularly obvious line of sight, Yu Mao turned his head and saw Yu Zhu.

After a slight pause, Yu Mao walked towards Yuzhu.

Seeing someone approaching, Yu Zhu felt a little nervous for some reason.It seemed like he hadn't seen each other for a while.

"you......"

As soon as she started talking, Yu Zhu suddenly froze.

A bead was stuffed into his hand, a very familiar wooden bead.

The curvature of Yu Mao's smile was the same as before, but it lacked the warmth of the past, and it didn't reach his eyes.

Yu Zhu heard Yu Mao say,

"excuse me."

Then the other party simply left without saying a word.

Just as Yuzhu didn't look back that day, the young man doesn't want to say much now.

No one can be relied upon.

Yu Mao finally realized that the only person a person can rely on has always been himself.

He grew up alone, learned to be sensible alone, and grew up to 17 years old alone.

He has always been alone, now why do he feel that someone can accompany him to face this stormy imperial city.

It is enough for him to have himself.

Yu Zhu tightly held the bead in her palm, with traces of anger spreading in her heart.If there is anything, he has to break the shackles, break free from the reason that he has always been in charge of everything, and then vent it.

But in the end, he gradually let go of his hands, and stopped his steps to move forward. After all, reason prevailed.Or maybe, it was the evasive psychology that prevailed, so that he didn't dare to go any further.

He was used to being calm and objective, and that impulsive emotion made him feel strange, and he even subconsciously wanted to deny it.He shouldn't have such inexplicable mood swings.

The majestic and tall Buddha statues of the past were smashed to pieces, and the sawdust was scattered all over the place, which looked like the current imperial palace, and the building was about to collapse.

"Ninth Prince, there is something inside."

Meng Jing handed the contents of the Buddha statue to Yu Mao with both hands, "This is it."

Yu Mao took it, carefully identified the texture of the material, and confirmed that this was the embedded talisman the emperor said.

Since ancient times, the army has recognized the talisman but not the person. As long as this inlay talisman is inserted into the tiger talisman in his hand, he can command two-thirds of the army in an instant.In other words, half of Zhao Anchao's army will obey orders from the embedded talisman.

This is the first emperor... Now it is not the first emperor, this is the rule established by Emperor Cheng Chong when he was in power.

It's just that everyone only hears his name, and few people have seen the legendary embedded talisman.Who would have thought that Emperor Cheng Chong built Xuanhua Temple just to hide this inlay.

Now only General Yang Jian was left, and he asked the hidden guards to ride away on a thousand-mile horse. Counting the time, the Tiger Talisman should have been shown by now, and the army was on its way.

It depends on which side is faster.

Yu Mao went through everything before looking at the captive.He had a question, how did these people know that the embedded talisman was in Xuanhua Temple?

He had a vague guess in his heart, but he was a little unwilling to believe it.

Walking over, he asked someone who looked like the leader, "Why are you here?"

"Bah!" The man spat, "It's up to you if you want to kill or cut, you can ask me whatever you want."

Yu Mao frowned slightly, and waved his hand to ask someone to teach him a lesson.

A man in black suddenly appeared, knelt down in front of Yu Mao, and held another confidential letter in his hand.

Looking at the secret letter, Yu Mao had a strong bad feeling for some reason.

Slowly unwrapping the cover, the four words that came into view were shocking:

Empress Dowager's funeral

"Wow"

The paper slipped from Yu Mao's hand and fell to the ground.

Yu Mao's eyes turned black for a while, and he fell to the ground when his feet softened.

The familiar sandalwood came, and Yu Mao didn't fall to the ground, but was supported by Yuzhu.

Yu Zhu has been paying attention to Yu Mao's movements, seeing that Yu Mao is about to fall, his body reacts before his brain.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing Yu Zhu's spotless robe bright red.The blood gradually fainted, and a pungent bloody smell came.

"Yu Mao!" Yu Zhu's expression became panicked in an instant, and he quickly grabbed Yu Mao's hand to feel his pulse.

"Ahem, it's okay...let go...cough cough cough!"

Yu Mao broke away from Yu Zhu's embrace, hastily wiped away the blood left on his mouth, and stared at the captives on the ground with hatred that cannot be ignored.

"Shh!"

A dazzling silver light flashed, and Yu Mao pulled out the sword of the Imperial Forest Army.

The sharp blade sank into the heart, and blood spattered everywhere.

One, two, three...

The captives fell to the ground one by one, and Yu Mao's snow-white face was covered with sticky blood, which slowly flowed down the face.The cute face in the past was full of cruelty, gorgeous but extremely dangerous.

"Don't, don't kill me, I'll tell you who it is..."

The last person was scared when he saw the people in front were pierced through his heart one by one.Seeing Yu Mao getting closer, he begged for mercy.

"Ah-ah!"

Yu Mao's movements didn't stop at all, and the last person fell to the ground, with blood gushing from a hole in his heart, merging with the blood of the people in front, forming a large piece.

The blood of more than 40 people completely dyed this area red, and the strong fishy smell filled everyone's nose, making people sick.

Seeing that there was no one alive, Yu Mao finally withdrew his sword.The tip of the bright red tongue stuck out, licked the blood that flowed to the mouth, and suddenly laughed.

It was still a low chuckle at first, then it became louder and louder, and gradually turned into a head-turned laugh.

No more, he has nothing left.

Looking at Yu Mao who was almost insane, Yu Zhu frowned fiercely, avoided the block of the hidden guards, stepped forward and grabbed Yu Mao's shoulder.

"Yu Mao, wake up, what happened?"

Throwing away Yu Zhu's hand, Yu Mao turned his head without even looking at Yu Zhu, "Is Yi back yet?"

Wu replied, "According to Fetion, there is still half an hour."

Yu Mao raised the corners of his mouth, and his whole body changed completely, "Meng Jing listens."

"The minister is here."

"Lead the army into the palace!"
