The next moment, the hesitant guards' expressions gradually became fierce.

He raised his rifle and aimed at the two people on the stage at the same time.

"Stop! What do you want to do to the Emperor?"

Li Xingke rushed over immediately, but the distance was too far and he had no weapons, so he became more and more anxious.

Bang bang bang...!

Countless gunshots rang out. Bai Mu, holding the hard and soft Yin-Yang sword, swung it at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. The afterimages formed by the man and the sword surrounded the emperor. The sounds of bullet casings falling to the ground gathered together to form a beautiful melody.

"Your Majesty, please finish what you want to say. You don't need to do anything else here. I will ensure your safety."

Seeing this, Li Xingke and other officers loyal to the country also stopped unconsciously.

So awesome...!

The emperor was slightly stunned, but soon reacted, smiled slightly, and then said:

"Thank you, Master Baimu."

"Since I took over, I haven't said a word in court because no one listens to what I say."

"Inside the palace, no one wanted to talk to me. The maids and eunuchs who occasionally spoke to me would be executed by Gao Hai and his men the next day. I could only huddle in a corner and talk to myself."

"I know this is wrong, and I know they've done a lot of bad things, but I can't do anything but watch silently."

"I don't know if it's too late to mend the situation, but please give me some time. I will definitely work with Master Baimu to find a way to make up for the mistakes we made over the years."

"I will find a way to make amends to those whom Gao Hai and the others have hurt."

"Huh... Now, I hereby issue my first decree since ascending the throne. I request that you all assist Lord Baimu in eliminating Gao Hai and his followers."

At this moment, Li Xingke's heart was filled with excitement.

So that's how it is. It's a good move to show off the emperor's elegance in front of the whole country and then eliminate the eunuchs with justification!

"Follow the Emperor's decree and eliminate the eunuchs!!"

"In compliance with the Emperor's decree..."

Soon, a large number of military officers took action and attacked the palace guards.

Many people who depended on the eunuchs were trembling slightly at this moment. They knelt on the ground immediately and did not dare to move at all, for fear of being eliminated as eunuchs' followers.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Gao Hai and others retreated immediately and were protected by the guards, frantically pressing the rescue button on their mobile phones.

"Asshole! How dare you play this trick on us."

"Hasn't the reinforcements arrived yet? Stop them, stop them!"

Due to the emperor's decree, the surroundings suddenly became chaotic and no one shot at the emperor anymore.

But even so, in order to avoid stray bullets, Bai Mu still didn't dare to leave her side.

He noticed more and more guards coming from all directions, with mechas behind them, so he spoke decisively:

"Shinano, get started! Clean up the enemy forces, put an end to this chaos, and we can continue the banquet."

"No problem, Commander."

Shinano slowly stood up, summoned the ship suit, and began to attack the guards around him under Tifa's curious gaze.

Countless lasers were fired from within the ship, instantly penetrating the surrounding walls and forming deep pits.

At the same time, dense swarms of small unmanned bombers began bombing in all directions.

Amidst the deafening explosion, half of the Zhu Forbidden City was razed to the ground.

In just a few seconds, the walls surrounding the venue were completely destroyed, and the rockery, gardens, and houses in sight were all turned into wastelands filled with large and small pits.

Gao Hai and other eunuchs were also turned into powder by the drone bombing.

At least half of the once magnificent Forbidden City has now become ruins, and it looks no different from a barren mountain.

This horrifying scene caused the venue to fall silent for a moment.

Even Baimu looked at Shinano with a look of surprise.

This is much more expressive than the ship girls in the Azure game and animation. Moreover, Bai Mu can also see that she didn't use her full strength at all, she was just trying it out.

"What...what is this?" Tifa couldn't help but ask.

"I am a Sakura Empire aircraft carrier. My primary combat method is drone bombing. As long as there is enough oil, my bombers can regenerate infinitely."

"So Shinano-nee is so powerful... But, you don't fight with a sword, so why are you only teaching me swordsmanship?"

"Swordsmanship can not only improve your physical condition, but also give you a certain level of self-defense ability. If you train your shooting skills, you will be able to quickly master the mecha after you obtain it."

"I see..."

Hearing this, the emperor quickly came to his senses.

"Master Baimu, who is this?"

"Her name is Shinano, and she's my subordinate. She's very powerful, right?" Bai Mu chuckled.

"Ms. Shinano's strength is indeed remarkable, but the damage she caused to the surrounding area was also enormous. There were simply too many casualties this time... Alas..."

The emperor sighed deeply, then said:

"But thanks, that should be the end of it, right?"

"I guess so. Anyway, let's eat first. After lunch, we can deal with the rest of the matter."

"Eh...? Eating? So much has just happened..."

"Haha... Even if the sky falls, we still have to eat. Don't forget, this is a national broadcast, and everyone is waiting to eat."

The emperor fell silent for a moment, and after a long moment, he whispered:

"Then... shall we eat first?"

Bai Mu smiled and then shouted:

"Send the Emperor's decree and start the banquet!"

Chapter 130 This is something only you can do

Even so, such a big thing just happened, it is impossible for the civil and military officials present to have the mind to eat.

Not to mention, there were corpses all around the stage, the pungent smell of blood, and a lot of minced meat. Many women and children who followed were all lying tightly in the arms of adults, not daring to look anywhere else.

Seeing this, Bai Mu thought for a moment, took out the purple gourd from the storage space, aimed it at the surroundings, and input internal energy.

"receive!"

The next moment, a powerful suction force came from the mouth of the gourd, and the surrounding corpse debris all became smaller and flew into the gourd one after another.

In just a few seconds, the surroundings were cleared and turned into a desolate open space. As far as the eye could see, there was only the blood red that had merged into the earth and potholes of various sizes.

"If you don't want to eat, then I'll start eating first."

Bai Mu smiled, sat down next to Tifa, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating as if no one was around.

"Brother Bai, this is the first time I admire someone so much."

A young official picked up the teacup with slightly trembling hands and took a sip of the tea that was slightly dusty.

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, he also started to pick up the chopsticks.

Some elderly officials stared at the white screen intently for a while, and after comforting their wives and children, they also started to pick up their chopsticks.

"Master Bai, today all the eunuchs have been eliminated, and the truth will be revealed."

"Brother Bai, I offer you a toast. I thought today was just a chance to spread wealth and gain fame, but I didn't expect it to be such a grand event. Today, I have witnessed a beautiful event that is destined to be sung through the ages."

"Brother Bai, please..."

As more and more people raised their glasses to invite him, Bai Mu also stood up slowly with a bowl of wine.

"There's no need for you all to do this. Eunuchs are in power, the emperor is imprisoned, the country is in turmoil, the years are bad, and there's unrest everywhere. In the temple, officials are made of rotten wood, and between the steps of the palace, beasts eat the food...

Every man has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country. In this time of national crisis, we should support the emperor and the country and bring stability to the four quarters.

The affairs of the world depend on the emperor, all the civil and military officials in the court, and every single person in the flower-growing family.

I have done what I can do, and I leave the rest to you."

After saying this, Bai Mu drank the wine in his wrist, put down the cup, and said with a smile:

"Let's go, Tifa, Shinano."

"Eh...?"

Tifa, who was halfway through eating the roast duck leg, noticed that Baimu seemed to be leaving and Shinano also stood up to follow him. She quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up.

? ?

The emperor looked at the three men in confusion, and soon realized that he was really going to leave, so he hurriedly picked up his skirt and chased after him.

"Wait a minute, Lord Bai, where are you going? Didn't you ask me for a promotion before? I'm going to make you Grand Marshal and Grand General. All future affairs of the court and the country will be in your hands."

Hearing this, Bai Mu stopped and shook his head slightly:

"Don't always rely on others. Some things can only be relied on yourself."

"Young, ignorant, inexperienced? These are just excuses."

"Qin Shi Huang had no experience in government before he took power at the age of 22; Huo Qubing was made a marquis at 17 and swept across the northern desert; Wang Bo wrote the 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng' at 16, his name immortalized; Cao Chong weighed an elephant at the age of 6, leaving behind a story that will be remembered for generations."

"Appoint him as Grand Marshal? In charge of the nation's military? No, that's just you taking it for granted and being lazy."

"The livelihoods of over three billion people are on your shoulders. This is your responsibility alone. Don't try to escape or pass the problem on to others. Live each day with ease and happiness."

"If there is a rebellion in the area, you can order Li Xingke or Hong Gu to lead the army to attack."

"If there's a famine somewhere, you can give orders and arrange for officials to go and provide relief."

"If the EU or Britannia sends troops to attack, you can summon the court officials to discuss the matter and decide whether to fight or make peace."

"But no matter what, this is a decision that only you can make."

"Letting others make decisions for you is just being lazy."

"In the future, you'll encounter many situations where you have to make decisions. You can't always let others make decisions for you, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you make a mistake. Let's work together to make amends. No one will blame you. There is no perfect person in the world who has never made a mistake."

"The last thing you should have is laziness."

"Besides, I am very satisfied with my position as secretary and have no intention of getting promoted."

Noticing the hint of disappointment in his eyes, the girl's heart tightened slightly.

Thinking about the movies, TV shows and animations he had watched these days, his expression gradually became serious.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you very much for your teachings, Lord Bai. I will keep the position of Grand Marshal for you forever."

As he turned around, Bai Mu waved his hand.

Then, he left the palace quickly with brisk steps.

After walking hundreds of steps, Tifa suddenly realized:

"I understand! After all, we are just passing through this world. We can't stay here forever. Therefore, power and status are meaningless."

"Instead of deciding everything for her, let her make her own decisions, and she will grow faster."

"Yes, that's it." Bai Mu smiled unconsciously.

This is only one aspect. More importantly, I am not good at handling government affairs.

This identity only comes with memories of past life, and does not have the knowledge that a top scholar should have. You are still yourself.

Besides, it's May 1st already, and Code Geass' storyline is about to begin, so we have to hurry to the island country.

In the conference hall after Bai Mu and the other two left, Li Xingke looked dazed and couldn't recover for a long time.

If I were in the other person's position, there is absolutely no way I would leave like that.

But if he stayed, given the emperor's character, he would definitely become dependent on others, and over time, he would be regarded as a powerful official by the outside world.

Therefore, leaving after the task is done like this can be a good move.

Moreover, what he said just now was very right. These matters can only be decided by the emperor. Even if he made a mistake, it didn't matter. The important thing was to do it himself and take the first step.
