Crossover Martial Arts: Oh my god! I'm actually a major villain!

"Each of you take 100,000 taels of silver back with you and tell your soldiers that as long as they fight bravely against the enemy, my reward will be substantial."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Su Chen glanced at the generals and then reminded them,

"Get back as soon as possible to complete my mission. After we get rid of the cancerous tumors within the Sui Dynasty, we will face the attack of the Tang Empire. It won't be long. You must wipe out those cancerous tumors within a month."

Zhang Xutuo stood up and said seriously to Su Chen

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as our Sui border troops have enough to eat, sharp weapons and armor, and pay their wages, our Sui border troops will be no worse than the Tang army."

Chapter 307 An Unexpected Joy: Capturing Princess Li Xiuning of the Tang Dynasty Alive!

In the palace,

After these generals left,

Su Chen summoned the Yagyu Yukihime and Yagyu Hyōshū sisters.

It's time to clean up those hidden forces in the capital. In the past few days, those forces have won over quite a few Sui Dynasty officials, and Su Chen will take this opportunity to carry out a major purge.

Su Chen looked at the Liu sisters and gave them a command.

"Xue Ji, Piao Xu, each of you lead three thousand heavy infantry and five thousand infantry to wipe out those forces hiding in the capital. Capture them alive if you can, and kill them all if you can't."

"Yes, Master!"

"Wait, each of you take another thousand Divine Arm Archers. Have the archers shoot down any powerful martial artists."

"Yes, Master!"

After Empress Xiao saw that Su Chen had finished making the arrangements, she went behind him and began to massage him with both hands.

Empress Xiao massaged Su Chen as she did so.

She asked Su Chen as she spoke.

"Su Chen, after today, the Great Sui Dynasty will be able to safely weather this crisis!"

Su Chen leaned against Empress Xiao's softness and said,

"No, after today, the Sui Dynasty will be at peace. As for other parts of the Sui Dynasty, it depends on the speed of Hu'er and his generals. It will take at least twenty days to see results. Once those malignant tumors are removed, the Sui Empire will become stronger and stronger."

Empress Xiao, her face flushed, felt somewhat helpless as Su Chen leaned against her.

That little rascal takes advantage of her whenever he gets the chance.

She's been bullied by Su Chen every day for the past few days.

Her legs have been weak all day long these past few days, and Empress Xiao is now somewhat afraid of this little rascal who's as strong as a cow.

"What about the Tang Empire? The Tang Empire will not give up this good opportunity to attack."

Su Chen shook his head and explained.

"The Tang Empire is probably willing but unable. If the Sui Dynasty falls into chaos, the Tang Empire only needs to send 200,000 troops to occupy a large part of the Sui territory. However, with us in the Sui Empire, it is impossible for it to fall apart and fall into chaos in the future."

"Moreover, the Tang Empire and the Turks have just fought a war, and the Tang Empire needs to recuperate. The Sui Empire has not experienced a rebellion, so the chances of the Tang Empire sending troops are very low."

Empress Xiao nodded upon hearing Su Chen's words.

but,

She thought of the list Su Chen had given her; two-thirds of the ministers in the court had been won over.

If Su Chen were to kill all of these people,

The Sui Dynasty suddenly lost too many officials, and the empire might not even be able to function anymore.

Empress Xiao frowned and asked Su Chen.

"If we purge the officials of the Great Sui Empire this time, we won't have enough officials to replace them. What will we do with the missing officials?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's hold the imperial examination. Right now, we can only hold the imperial examination to recruit some talents. I will find a way to bring in more talents later."

Su Chen felt no regret for the officials he wanted to kill. Some were censors who were looking for trouble, some were officials from the Ministry of Rites, and some were officials from the Ministry of Personnel. The Sui Dynasty could function even without these officials.

at this time,

In the capital of the Sui Dynasty,

The four city gates suddenly closed.

Squads of troops advanced rapidly in all directions, quickly surrounding inns, mansions, and courtyards where ordinary people lived. Any skilled fighters who tried to escape were shot down by archers.

In a mansion,

The spirited woman is reading a book.

A maid ran over quickly and called out.

"Miss, something terrible has happened! Our mansion has been besieged by an army of several thousand."

The spirited woman's expression changed upon hearing the maid's words.

She guessed that her identity had probably been exposed.

This is going to be troublesome.

The spirited woman became somewhat flustered.

In the past few days, she had secretly persuaded many officials of the Sui Dynasty, and she suspected that some of them might have betrayed her.

"Damn it, we might have been discovered."

The maid asked in a panic, "Miss, what should we do?"

"Let's go out and take a look first."

"Yes, miss!"

In front of the mansion,

Yagyu Yukihime glanced at the secret letter in her hand and smiled. She hadn't expected to catch such a big fish this time—Princess Li Xiuning of the Tang Dynasty. This was a truly significant fish.

At this time,

The spirited woman emerged from the mansion and asked with a cold face,

Why are you besieging my residence?

Yagyu Yukihime looked at Li Xiuning and said disdainfully.

"Is Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiuning, still going to keep up the pretense?"

Li Xiuning heard what Liu Sheng Xue Ji said.

She asked in surprise,

"Who are you? How do you know who I am?"

"You don't need to ask any more questions. Give up resisting, or you will be killed without mercy!"

"Are you one of Marquis Wuwei's men?"

"Not bad!"

Li Xiuning hadn't expected that Wuwei Marquis's men would discover her. She knew she was going to be defeated by Wuwei Marquis this time. With more than three thousand soldiers, her hundreds of guards simply couldn't fight them off.

Li Xiuning thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I can go with you, but the people in your household are innocent. I hope you can spare them."

Liu Shengxue shook her head and said coldly, "Li Xiuning, you have no room for negotiation. You and your maid can live, but everyone else will die."

"Then I'd rather die than surrender!"

"That's not up to you. Go! Leave no one in the mansion alive except Li Xiuning and her maid."

"Yes, kill them!"

The heavy infantry commander, wielding his sword, shouted orders and led his heavy infantry legion to charge towards the mansion.

"court death!"

bump!

"Li Xiuning, I am your opponent!"

When Li Xiuning was about to attack the heavily armored legion,

Yagyu Yukihime quickly kicked Li Xiuning. Li Xiuning was only at the peak of the Innate Realm, and Yagyu Yukihime could capture Li Xiuning alive within ten moves.

Li Xiuning was stopped by Liu Sheng Xueji.

She shouted angrily.

"hateful!"

"Li Xiuning, you are no match for me. It's not too late to surrender now, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite. (Zhao Hao)"

"kill!"

Seeing Li Xiuning attack again, Yagyu Yukihime quickly drew her katana and slashed at her.

bump!
