A moment later, under the briefing of that captain of the guard, Meng Jiuxiao finally managed to enter the palace.
At this moment, in the middle of the Great Qian’s Hall of Prayer for Heaven, a figure was sitting on top of the dragon chair on the treasure platform.
This figure was stout, square-faced and tiger-eyed, and his entire body radiated a powerful and boundless aura of true supremacy.
This figure was none other than the former Marquis of Zhen Nan of the Great Qian, now the usurping monarch of the Great Qian!
“Meng Jiuxiao, see Your Majesty!”
As soon as Meng Jiu Xiao saw the Marquis of Zhen Nan, his entire body looked excited and he directly knelt down on the ground.
“Sect Master Meng, I really didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon! I guess, you must have brought me good news this time, right?”
The Zhen Nan Hou’s face carried a smile, but for some reason, this smile gave people a creepy feeling, making Meng Jiu Xiao’s entire body feel very bottomless.
“This …… Your Majesty ……, I’m not going to lie, I’m here because I want Your Majesty to do something for me!”
Meng Jiuxiao said with a sobbing face.
“Oh? Tell me?”
The Marquis of Zhen Nan was not in a hurry and appeared to be very patient.
So, Meng Jiuxiao hurriedly then recounted what had happened to him, all of it.
“Your Majesty, this is what happened, in order to catch that Sheng Yu Mei for you, not only did I lose seven of my generals, the Seven Heroes of the Hidden Sect, but even my Hidden Sect’s headquarters were destroyed by that Wang Yao, and even most of my Hidden Sect’s money was stolen by that b*****d! Please, Your Majesty, you must do something for me!”
Meng Jiu Xiao wept and put on a very pitiful face.
And these words were said by Meng Jiu Xiao on purpose, and this was exactly how clever Meng Jiu Xiao was.
When Meng Jiu Xiao came last time, he only said that he had the whereabouts of the Great Qian Empress, but did not say that it was a personal matter that he had to seek revenge from the other party.
The reason why he said this was simple, that is, Meng Jiu Xiao just wanted to make the Marquis of Zhen Nan feel good about him and know that all his sacrifices were for the Marquis of Zhen Nan.
If he had told the truth before, then all of his sacrifices would have been on his own, wouldn’t it have seemed meaningless.
Even Meng Jiuxiao himself, in his heart, was praising himself for his witty words.
In Meng Jiuxiao’s opinion, this Marquis of Zhen Nan is not looking for merit, but also for hard work, so he will not let himself work for nothing.
And just when Meng Jiuxiao’s mind was thinking about this, he only saw the Marquis of Zhen Nan on the dragon chair nodding his head, and then with a look of sudden realization, he opened his mouth and said, “Oh, I see, you want to use me as a tool to lend a knife to kill people, right?”
The Marquis of Zhen Nan looked at Meng Jiu Xiao below, with a playful smile on his face.
At this moment, Meng Jiuxiao’s whole body was like being struck by lightning, and he was instantly terrified.
Naturally, this was Meng Jiuxiao’s real intention in coming here.
However, he had never dreamed that the Marquis of Zhen Nan would see through all his thoughts so easily, and he had hit the nail on the head!
Only at this moment did Meng Jiuxiao finally realise the fearfulness of this Marquis of Zhen Nan in front of him.
He was so deep that he could not hide in front of the other party with his own tricks.
“Your Majesty …… you misunderstood, I …… how dare I ah, I never thought of borrowing a knife to kill ah, also please Your Majesty clear investigation ah!”
Meng Jiuxiao was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, his body was already soaked with cold sweat.
At this moment, Meng Jiuxiao’s heart was simply regretful to the extreme.
He felt that he had simply had a brain cramp before and had dared to play tricks in front of the Marquis of Zhen Nan.
He knew that the other party was a lord who dared to steal the world, so this bit of ingenuity of his was nothing compared to the other party’s.
At this moment, looking at the frightened and panicked Meng Jiuxiao, the Marquis of Zhen Nan coldly snorted and said indifferently, “Do you mean to say that my words just now were nonsense and not clear enough?”
“I ……”
Meng Jiuxiao was choked by the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s words and was unable to speak for half a day.
However, he naturally did not dare to offend the other party, and could only kowtow repeatedly to beg for forgiveness.
“I didn’t mean that, Your Majesty forgive me, Your Majesty forgive me!”
Meng Jiuxiao kept crying out.
At this moment, the Marquis of Zhen Nan stopped paying attention to Meng Jiuxiao and thought to himself.
“That’s interesting! Fighting seven Heavenly Immortal powerhouses, destroying a city, and stealing someone else’s silver treasury. It seems that Gongsun Huarong and Gu Xinlong must have died at the hands of this person, right? This Wang Yao guy is really something else! ……”
The Marquis of Zhen Nan’s face actually revealed a rather appreciative smile.
It was just that the feelings in this smile were so complex that Meng Jiuxiao was a little puzzled.
At this moment, only a figure was seen standing out first from the side.
“Your Majesty, I, Shen Gonghuan, am willing to go to the secular world and share your worries!”
This figure shouted to the Marquis of Zhen Nan with an arch of his hand, looking very respectful.
As soon as the words left his mouth, another figure followed suit and stood out.
“Your Majesty, I, Geng Tiangang, am also willing to go to the secular world and share Your Majesty’s worries!”
This figure also shouted with the same arching hands, very respectful.
Shen Gonghuan and Geng Tiangang, these two were the same Four Great Vajra under the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s command as Gongsun Huarong and Gu Xinlong who had died at the hands of Li Nan before.
When they were in the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s residence, they had fought with him in the battlefield and were the true believer of the Marquis of Zhen Nan!
As Shen Gonghuan and Geng Tiangang stepped forward, many of the military generals in the courtroom also followed suit, also asking for war.
They were not simply shouting slogans at this moment.
Although the Marquis of Zhen Nan has already usurped the throne and ascended to the throne as emperor, the environment in the imperial court is extremely complicated, and it is naturally impossible for him to cut off all the forces that belong to Sheng Yu Mei.
So at this moment, the reason why these people took the initiative to say they wanted to fight was mostly because they wanted to show their heart to the Marquis of Zhen Nan!
Looking at these people who stood out in front of him and said they wanted to serve him, a satisfied smile appeared on the Marquis of Zhen Nan’s face.
Although not everyone in the court had pledged their allegiance to him, the number of people in front of him was still quite gratifying.
Moreover, with this opportunity, the Marquis of Zhen Nan had basically determined which people were willing to stand by his side and which ones were stubbornly loyal to the empress.
Naturally, the Marquis of Zhen Nan would not immediately do anything to those who were disloyal to him, but after he had finished with the empress, he would definitely get rid of those who dared to disobey him one by one!
Then, looking at the people in front of him, the Marquis of Zhen Nan said with a smile on his face, “I am very pleased that you have all been so sincere to me since I first ascended to the throne. However, as this is a matter of great importance, I have decided to personally lead my troops to the True Martial Realm to clear out the remaining villains!”
Last time, the Marquis of Zhen Nan was too trusting of Gongsun Huarong and the others, which was why he let the empress escape.
This time, the Marquis of Zhen Nan had decided to go personally, in order to kill them in one blow, and definitely not give that female emperor any chance to escape!
What’s more, to see with his own eyes the Empress who once stood at his head and gave orders die in front of him was definitely something very interesting for the Marquis of Zhen Nan!
“Your Majesty’s personal expedition will purge that remaining evil! Your Majesty is divine!”
Shen Gonghuan was the first to say.
“Your Majesty is divine!”
“Your Majesty is divine!”
The rest of the crowd followed suit, chanting loudly.
Looking around at the chanting courtiers, Meng Jiuxiao’s heart was also shocked.
It seemed that the Marquis of Zhen Nan had only seized power for a few days, but he had managed to gain such a large number of supporters in the court.
But now, Meng Jiuxiao didn’t have much time to sigh about this.
The only thing he wanted was to survive under the unpredictable Marquis of Zhen Nan.
“Your Majesty is marvellous! Your Majesty is a godly man!”
At this moment, Meng Jiuxiao’s desire for survival was so strong that he hurriedly shouted along with the courtiers, as if the other side would see him as one of their own if he shouted louder.
However, Meng Jiuxiao was obviously a bit unable to keep up with the pace of the courtiers.
He had just started shouting, but the courtiers’ voices stopped just as neatly, so he was the only one still shouting like a fool, making the scene as awkward as possible.
Meng Jiu Xiao’s whole person was also embarrassed beyond measure and hurriedly shut his mouth, only that, unfortunately, he had already managed to attract the attention of everyone around him.
All the courtiers’ gazes were now directed towards him, scaring Meng Jiuxiao into holding his breath, not even daring to let out a single breath.
At this moment, Geng Tiangang, who was one of the Four Great Vajra, glanced angrily at Meng Jiuxiao, and then asked the Marquis of Zhen Nan with an arch hand, “Your Majesty, what should we do with this person?”
Hearing this, Meng Jiuxiao’s heart immediately lifted, and his whole body trembled, not daring to say a word more, lest he might displease the Marquis of Zhen Nan.
The Marquis of Zhen Nan glanced at Meng Jiuxiao, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Meng Jiuxiao, reporting the location of the remaining villains in time is a great achievement! You should be rewarded for your merit! A fifth rank! A thousand household titles!”
The Marquis of Zhen Nan said in a resounding voice.
“What?!”
Hearing the words of the Marquis of Zhen Nan, Meng Jiu Xiao’s entire body was immediately excited to the extreme, only feeling as if he was dreaming.
He originally thought that he might be in danger today, but he did not expect that instead of punishing himself, the other party had given him such a great reward, which simply made Meng Jiu Xiao overjoyed.
Not only Meng Jiuxiao, but also the courtiers around him had a look of surprise on their faces when they heard what the Marquis of Zhen Nan had said, obviously not quite understanding his decision.
