The majestic and solemn Golden Luan Palace in the past has now become a killing field in Mei Shao's hands.

Zhao Zhen watched him go mad below, watched him coerce and lure those courtiers to kill each other in front of his eyes, and then he stripped them of their vitality one by one.

The original shock and indignation all became sour after Mei Shao killed those people. Zhao Zhen pinched the list in his hand, and he knew the names and order on it. Then pinch a line on the corresponding name on the paper.

The first two Zhao Zhens suspected that they hit each other by mistake, but everyone who died was on the list, and it was clear what Mei Shao wanted to do.

Since Bai Bingchen can keep a list for himself, it is guaranteed that the Baifu will also keep a list.

Cao Bai has always been cautious and never revealed his identity to the public, but after Mei Shao and Bai Bingchen's accidents happened one after another, he lost his patience. Even the little speech officer that Mei Shao killed just now could know Cao Bai's truth. His face, he has long been overwhelmed, no matter how difficult it is to hide.

Zhao Zhen was able to find out the truth under Cao Bai's black armor siege, and Mei Shao has controlled the entire Pingdu since returning to the capital, so it is naturally possible.

In the final analysis, Cao Bai's own power is not as great as they imagined, but he used to hide his identity and always hide behind others to do dirty things, while Bai Bingchen and Zhao Zhen were wary of him because they could not determine his identity. , plus the few turmoil he manipulated behind the scenes—whether it was Nanyang or Beidi, they all caused quite a lot of waves.

It is very rare to be able to disturb the situation of several countries and calculate the hearts of the people with the body of a small minister.

Zhao Zhen met all the ministers today with the intention of convicting Cao Bai of the crime, but Mei Shao led the troops to surround the palace, which saved him a lot of verbal disputes. It's just that Mei Shao came here, and Bai Bingchen paved the way for him to be a powerful minister. All were destroyed, so Zhao Zhen spoke to ask him to think twice.

More importantly, since Mei Shao was venting her personal anger, after killing these people, it would naturally be Zhao Zhen's turn.

Now the city of Pingdu is full of Mei Shao's troops, the Shenyang army bows to him, and the guards in the palace are controlled by Mei Shao. As long as he thinks, today is the time when the imperial power of the Zhao family will be overthrown.

There was enough blood on the ground, and the ground was covered with blood. The ground washed by the blood swayed in the candlelight, and under the dim light, Mei Shao kicked away the corpse of the last person. The small mountain of corpses turned to look at the courtiers crouching in the corner with their heads folded.

When Mei Shao asked two of them to kill each other, under the coercion and tension, everyone was anxious, afraid that they would be the next one.The desire for survival prompted them to explode, and desperately wanted to pounce on Mei Shao to end the massacre, and then Mei Shao summoned the Jia army to press them on the hall, imprisoning them in the hall like driving pigs. corner of the temple.

Mei Shao's eyes were terribly deep, falling on them as if looking at a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, his eyes wandered for a while, and landed on Cao Bai.

Although Cao Bai was squatting with the others, he didn't show any panic.

"Your Majesty Cao is really calm, watching your men die one by one by my hands, how can you still be so calm." Mei Shao's voice seemed to be quenched by poison, cold to the bone.

As expected, Mei Shao also knew about it.Zhao Zhen sat up straight and looked at the two confronting people below.

Cao Bai stood up from the crowd, glanced at the blood on the ground with raised eyebrows, carefully avoided the blood, walked to a place five or six steps away from Mei Shao, and said calmly: "Some people are born as pawns, even if you don't kill them , when things are done, they will die too."

Mei Shao sneered, the carelessness he had just had when he killed someone was taken back by him, he re-examined the person in front of him for a while, then smiled lightly and said: "I thought Master Cao would be a smart person, who would have exposed his identity in such a hurry, Are you still dreaming of a big dream that can come true? Mr. Cao, everyone outside is my people, the whole city is my people, how do you want to turn around?"

"If Master Mei is really in control of everything, why bother talking to me here? Just like killing these people, wouldn't it be enough to just kill me with one knife?" Cao Bai glanced at Mei Shao's trembling hand, knowing He was anxious, but even more indifferent.

"Master Mei doesn't know how many troops I have, but this book is nothing. Mr. Mei brought all the [-] Shenyang troops. My men will not be more difficult to fight than Liangguo. But Mr. Mei is still afraid, I'm afraid of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion in my hands... I'm afraid they are hiding in Pingdu City, and they can bite you at any time." Cao Bai laughed softly twice.

"Afraid? If your precious son knows that you are dead, will he accompany you filially? After all, he has been brooding over your favor for Yanfang for so many years. How much does he care about you as a father? Mei Shao watched his body stiffen with satisfaction, and said the second half of the sentence, "Without Yanfang and I in the court, it is indeed easier to control, but you are such a cautious person, bear with it." You haven't done anything for so many years, but you don't even want to wait for Qin Chengze to confirm my death, could it be that you are the person who puts all your energy and effort into trying to push the throne of the king, and you don't care about this position at all."

"He warned you? It made you want to get this position in such a short time?" Mei Shao asked back one by one as if hitting Cao Bai's heart, his eyes became cold and hard.

"The new emperor will bear me." Mei Shao read out Zhang Jiudai's last words before his death, and mocked: "Lord Cao's new emperor's ambition is not to be a king, sir, do you want to train a puppet? Take the emperor to make the princes—this way His tricks are not new either. Or is Mr. Cao the new emperor that Zhang Jiudai is talking about?"

"What do you mediocre people know?" After talking for a long while, Cao Bai's face remained normal, Mei Shao only said something about the new emperor, but he seemed to be offended, and said with anger in his eyes: "Your Majesty has only conspired , is extremely brave, how can it be compared with the idiot above!"

He unscrupulously belittled Zhao Zhen face to face, with strong disdain in his words, but Mei Shao caught something from his words, his eyebrows moved slightly, and said: "Excellent talent, extraordinary bravery? How do you know that he will definitely Better than the one above, is he really leading troops on the battlefield, or has he dealt with political affairs, or maybe he has been an emperor?"

When Mei Shao uttered the last sentence, Cao Bai's pupils shrank.

"Since we all want Zhao Zhen to step down, why don't we cooperate?" Cao Bai stared into his eyes and said word by word: "Master Mei only wants revenge, and Zhao Zhen's life is not important to me. , as long as I can vacate that position, we will have nothing to do after it is done. If Mr. Mei trusts me, I will reserve the position of elder when the new emperor ascends the throne. If nothing else, the status will definitely be higher than mine. .”

Mei Shao couldn't help laughing out loud, he thought it was really ridiculous, "You have hurt Yan Fang, and you dare to cooperate in front of me?"

"Master Mei is a smart person. There are no permanent enemies in this world, only friends under the interests of others."

"Then how do you know that what I'm looking for is not the position at the top?" Mei Shao said: "I want revenge, but I also want status. Why should I give you something that can satisfy both? You still have it in your hand now." Is there anything you can give me bargaining chips?"

Cao Bai pursed his lips and remained silent, the hall fell into silence for a moment, and the knocking on the door of the hall seemed heavy and eye-catching.

"Master Cao, guess, is the person outside the door my man, or the master's black armor?"

Cao Bai's face turned gray almost the moment he heard the knock on the door. With a "squeak—" the door opened a crack, and "plop—" a human head was thrown in.

"Plop—" Twenty heads were thrown in one after another, rolling on the ground, some even rolled to Cao Bai's feet.

With his eyes closed, he knew who these people were without looking.

"Master, all the black armor in the city has been wiped out."

Cao Bai has carefully cultivated 2 horses over the years, and every thousand people has a team leader, twenty, not a few, watching him on the ground with open eyes.

"My life." Cao Bo took a deep breath, and said his last bargaining chip, "As long as you can let the throne go, the Anxiang Pavilion will be given to you, and my life will be offered with both hands."

"When I become the emperor, I will naturally kill you!"

"You can't do it!"

"Anyone you can find can do it, why can't I do it!"

"Because you are not from the Zhao family!"

Cao Bo yelled out these words suddenly, and there was silence in the back hall.

After a long while, Zhao Zhen, who had been watching from the sidelines, stood up from the dragon chair and asked forcefully, "What Zhao family?"

Cao Bai saw that he showed his feet in a hurry, so he didn't hide it anymore. He glanced at Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty has always wanted Li Guo to leave the Fudi Pavilion, because he was afraid of Li Guo's 300-year lifespan in the oracle. In the end? If His Majesty is really good for the Li country, he should voluntarily give up this position, and the Li country will naturally get back on track."

Zhao Zhen looked at him silently without speaking.

Cao Bai's eyes turned from him to Mei Shao's, and then he laughed twice and said, "You keep saying that it's for the country of Li, but you're just using the guise of being for the country of Li to fulfill your own selfish desires. You He kept saying that it was for the country of Li, but he was still reluctant to take this position. Bai Bingchen kept saying it was for the country of Li, but he was bound by the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, and the private relationship between his sons and daughters. Keep safety in mind."

"Only me, only I am wholehearted, selfless for the sake of the country of Li!" Cao Bai pointed to himself, and said: "For the country of Li, I don't want fame and fortune, the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, the love of my children, and even my own love. You can pay with your life!"

"Your throne was given to you by the real blood of the Zhao family and given to you." Cao Bai looked at Zhao Zhen's frown and said with a smile: "You forgot, you are not from the pure blood of the Zhao family. , Emperor Mu Lie has no children, so he chose you as an offshoot to inherit the throne, the Fudi Pavilion was originally a contract signed with the ancestor, why should you protect your fake blood?"

"As long as the true blood of the Zhao family can return to the throne, everything will be set right. Li Guohui will once again be bathed in the blessing of the gods. What qualifications do you have to not give up your position?" Cao Bai sneered, "What can you bring to Li? You can only bring countless natural and man-made disasters. You are so useless that even a mere mortal like me If you can’t surrender, you are so cowardly that you can’t even protect your own subjects. But the new emperor is different, he is invincible, he can restore the most prosperous period of the Li country, and more importantly, he can communicate with the gods.”

Mei Shao's eyes tightened suddenly, he took two steps forward and grabbed Cao Bai's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean, explain clearly!"

"Hahaha——" Cao Bai laughed loudly instead, and said, "He is the one who can really understand the oracle. As long as you help the new emperor ascend the throne, are you afraid that people will not be able to come back to life after death?"

Such unbelievable words made Mei Shao feel greatly stimulated, he grabbed Cao Bai's hand and let go, his face full of disbelief, "Impossible... Yan Fang said that there is no god in this world... How can a dead person be resurrected, impossible, impossible."

"Only a mayfly would doubt the existence of Kunpeng." After Cao Bai was released, he took two steps in front of Mei Shao and said softly, "If Bai Bingchen really doesn't believe in the existence of gods in the world, then he has been trying to find out for so many years. What is it? Who was able to predict the prophets in Cangshan, and how can I avoid your temptations again and again? It is all His Majesty. His bloodline, but the gods will only favor Zhao's real bloodline. Your Majesty was personally selected by the immortals of the Fudi Pavilion, and now he is the only one who will be chosen by the immortals."

"He is..." Mei Shao said with difficulty.

"Emperor Mu Lie, the invincible Emperor Wu of the Li Kingdom." Cao Bai looked at Mei Shao and Zhao Zhen's astonished expressions with satisfaction, as if he was standing on a high place looking down on these tiny ants.

"Emperor Mu Lie, the fourth emperor of the Li Kingdom, is still alive." Cao Bai uttered shocking words again, "This is the immortality bestowed on him. Mr. Mei, maybe the immortals can also grant you resurrection from death. rewards, as long as you are on God's side."

Cao Bai held Mei Shao's trembling wrist, gently pushed him in front of Zhao Zhen, and said coaxingly, "And he is the only stumbling block that prevents you from resurrecting Bai Bingchen, as long as you kill him, God will bestow upon you everything. "
