However, Xu Xiao paid no attention to these angry curses; he was looking around the palace.
He couldn't help but quip, "This palace has been around for so many years, and they haven't added any new items. They could at least display some precious jade artifacts. Instead, it's all gold. It's so tacky!"
“…”
Upon hearing Xu Xiao's words, the Xu siblings and even Mei Changsu couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, everyone heard footsteps outside and turned to look.
Suddenly, Xiao Jingyi and Minister Nangong arrived.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately bowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Dun and the others, who had been insulting Xu Xiao, immediately fell silent and turned their attention to Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi walked up to the group and said calmly, "Please rise, my beloved ministers."
He then walked up to Zhao Dun, looking down at him condescendingly: "Is this the Emperor of Liyang?"
"I had heard that you were so engrossed in handling state affairs that I thought you were a wise and capable ruler. But now it seems that the rumors were wrong."
"He couldn't even control a mere vassal king with a large army. With such methods and such a mindset, how did he become emperor?"
Xu Xiao: ? ? ? No, what does this have to do with me, Xu Xiao?
When did I, Xu Xiao, become the standard for judging the Ming army?!
Xu Xiao's eyes widened, never expecting that she would be affected as well.
But it was Xiao Jingyi who spoke, and he couldn't refute him.
Moreover, one point is correct: the Emperor of Liyang couldn't even subdue a mere vassal king like him, which indeed shows his lack of ability...
If this had fallen into the hands of Li Shimin, Ying Zheng, or Zhu Yuanzhang, let alone one Xu Xiao, or even a group of Xu Xiaos, they could have made a mess of things.
Don't ask, the answer is simply that they're shrewd.
"Humph!"
“Emperor Liang, I am the Emperor of Liyang, and I share the same honor as you. Why do you have to insult me?”
Looking at Xiao Jingyi, Zhao Dun snorted coldly.
But Xiao Jingyi smiled faintly: "Just look at you now, still calling yourself 'I,' Li Shimin and the others changed to 'I' after being defeated by me, but you still don't change your way of speaking."
After Xiao Jingyi finished speaking, he drew a knife from a guard beside him.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Dun was shocked: "You... what are you going to do?!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi looked at Zhao Dun and said, "Since ancient times, an emperor cannot be insulted, but I am also an emperor, so I naturally have the right to judge you."
"Zhao Dun, now that you have suffered a great defeat at Liyang, and the country is on the verge of collapse, as the emperor, you should perish with the country."
"Today, I will give you a quick death, which can be considered as preserving your dignity as an emperor."
As he spoke, Xiao Jingyi raised his knife.
Zhao Dun was shocked, his face filled with terror: "You...you can't kill me. I can help you manage this place, just like Li Shimin and the others."
Even now, Zhao Dun still refers to himself as "I," and Xiao Jingyi's eyes are filled with murderous intent.
Before the blade fell, his indifferent voice rang out: "I was able to keep Li Shimin and the others alive and give them important positions because they were capable. As for you, you can't even manage Xu Xiao. What value do you have?"
"Shh!"
"Pfft!"
With a single blow, Zhao Dun died instantly, beyond any doubt.
In fact, Xiao Jingyi wanted to kill Zhao Dun, and the reason in section 2.4 was quite simple.
Firstly, just as Xiao Jingyi said, his abilities are insufficient.
Secondly, Zhao Dun, despite his defeat, still referred to himself as "I" (朕), demonstrating a lack of ability to assess the situation.
Thirdly, he wanted to kill Zhao Dun, but as an emperor, he lacked the magnanimity of one. People like Zhao Kuangyin committed suicide, displaying the full demeanor of a monarch. Yet Zhao Dun begged for mercy, utterly disgracing the emperor.
In conclusion, Zhao Dun is doomed.
After killing the man, Xiao Jingyi handed the knife back to the guard beside him, but said, "This knife is stained with the blood of a dragon, so from now on it shall be called the Dragon-Slaying Knife."
As soon as he said this, the blade hummed, as if it had gained sentience.
In an instant, a surge of sword intent swept through the hall, causing everyone's expression to change.
Your Majesty, a single word can lead to wisdom!
His words held the law of heaven; with a single word, he determined the life, death, rise, and fall of all things.
305 Devouring the fortune of the Great Liang, fighting for the Great Liang, fighting for His Majesty! (Please subscribe, please customize, please do everything)
At the same time, the blade emitted a brilliant golden light, and the overwhelming sword intent soared into the sky.
The next moment, a dragon descended from the sky and disappeared directly into the blade.
The strange phenomenon finally disappeared after a long time.
"hehe."
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi nodded in satisfaction: "This sword, imbued with life, will have unlimited opportunities for growth, and may one day transform into a dragon."
"Your luck as a guard is quite good."
"May I have your name?"
Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's words, the guard immediately snapped out of his daze and excitedly replied, "Your Majesty, my name is Xue Rengui!"
How could Xue Rengui not be excited at this moment, because His Majesty himself was asking his name?
This means I'll be famous in Xiao Jingyi's eyes from now on!
This is a great honor for everyone in the Great Liang Dynasty.
???
!!!
Xiao Jingyi was taken aback when he heard Xue Rengui's answer.
He never expected that the guard who casually drew his sword was Xue Rengui, a famous military strategist of the Tang Dynasty.
What a coincidence!
However, he quickly came to his senses and said meaningfully, "A fine sword deserves a famous general. Xue Rengui, keep up the good work. I hope that when I bestow titles upon generals in the future, your name will be among them."
Upon hearing this, everyone in Game 09 looked at Xue Rengui with envy.
Damn it, Xue Rengui not only has a good knife, but His Majesty also values it so much.
Why wasn't I standing there just now? I'm so annoyed.
At this moment, everyone still thought that Xue Rengui was just having a stroke of good luck.
Little did they know that Xue Rengui was extremely capable. It wasn't until Xue Rengui suddenly appeared that everyone present realized how far-sighted His Majesty's vision was and how discerning he was.
Just then, Xu Weixiong cautiously stepped forward, took her sword, Chi Chi, and handed it to Xiao Jingyi.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi glanced at her and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Please, Your Majesty, bestow upon me your divine intervention."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi glared at her and tapped her forehead: "Do you think this is a cabbage? This sword is stained with the blood of the emperor and steals fortune, which is why it can do this."
"Your swordsmanship is still lacking in refinement."
Of course, even if Xiao Jingyi could create an unparalleled weapon with a single word, he would never do so.
After all... the reason why peerless weapons are so coveted is because of their rarity.
If he casually asked for thousands or tens of thousands of them, it would become commonplace.
He hoped to use this to inspire the officials of Liang in the future.
After being tapped on the forehead, Xu Weixiong pouted somewhat resentfully, but didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi glanced at the other surrendered officials of Liang in the hall and said, "Take them all away. Those who surrender and those who remain stubborn, kill them!"
In one sentence, he expressed his meaning, and the general who was taken away understood and immediately led him away.
Before long, all of them were taken away.
Seeing these people being taken away, Xiao Jingyi walked up to the throne step by step. When he reached the highest step, he turned around and looked at everyone.
He then picked up the imperial seal: "My dear ministers, perhaps you haven't yet witnessed how the fortunes of the Great Liang Dynasty... have truly improved..."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at Xiao Jingyi with curiosity.
Everyone knows that the Great Liang Dynasty is on a winning streak.
But no one knows exactly how they got there; all they know is that with each time a country is destroyed, they improve, their cultivation speed increases, and the spiritual energy becomes more abundant.
Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's words today, they immediately guessed that Xiao Jingyi was about to unveil this mystery.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Jingyi chuckled and then waved his hand.
"Today, I will show you the destiny of the Great Liang!"
"Shh!"
In an instant, everyone felt as if the scene before them had changed, and they had arrived in a void.
"Roar!"
Suddenly a dragon's roar was heard, causing everyone to look up.
The next moment, their expressions changed drastically.
Because they saw a purple dragon, hovering in the sky. The purple dragon was enormous, spanning the entire territory of Daliang. Even in the distant sky, its scales were clearly visible.
At this moment, the Purple Dragon of Fortune seemed to sense something, and its head looked down.
After getting a clear look at Xiao Jingyi, it swooped down.
"His Majesty!"
Mei Changsu and the others were greatly alarmed, fearing that the Purple Dragon of Destiny would attack Xiao Jingyi.
But their worries were clearly unnecessary. Just as the Purple Dragon of Luck came in front of Xiao Jingyi, it affectionately rubbed against his arm.
That docile appearance was a far cry from its previous dignified and fierce demeanor.
"Little one, it's time to eat."
Xiao Jingyi patted the dragon's head, and the Purple Dragon of Fortune let out an excited cry. Then it looked at the fire dragon floating above Liyang and charged straight at it.
Before long, the dragon of destiny from Liyang was swallowed by the purple dragon of destiny.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, countless purple particles rained down from the sky.
They disappeared into the mountains and rivers, into the heavens and earth, into the wild animals and the common people.
Mei Changsu reached out and took the purple particles, then felt a change within his body. He murmured to himself, "So... so this is what it means to have one's luck improved."
"To devour the fortune of other countries and strengthen oneself."
"This is...so spectacular."
The others watched in astonishment, and some even broke through to new heights, their cultivation levels skyrocketing.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has destroyed the Yang Dynasty and absorbed its fortune. The points have reached the upgrade requirement. The points will increase by 5 per second, and the current points are 120. Please keep up the good work."
