Chapter 116: Use the sword to test people’s inner demons, be prepared for danger in times of peace, Zhang Wenli! On September 19th, the Jin army completely wiped out the remaining forces of the Yan State in Youzhou City, and Jing Xinmo was granted a September 20th, Jing Xinmo sent someone to present a generous gift to King Zhao and informed him that the Jin army wanted to pass through Zhao to hunt down Liu Shouguang. September 21st, in the manor given by Li Cunxu. With a swish, the Mirror Heart Demon drew out a sword, and slowly brushed the blade with his index and middle fingers, saying, "We can begin now." As soon as Mirror Heart Demon finished speaking, an actor was brought up. This person was dressed in the same way as Mirror Heart Demon, with white powder on his face and two patches of red on each cheek. However, unlike the actors behind Mirror Heart Demon, this person's eyes were filled with fear when he saw Mirror Heart Demon. "Haha, you want to get close to His Highness? You want to put on a show for His Highness?" Jing Xinmo said coldly while tilting his head and wiping his sword. His reaction was completely different from when he was with Li Cunxu. It could be said to be a huge contrast. The actor was questioned by the Mirror Heart Demon and immediately replied tremblingly: "I have been learning opera since I was a child, so I naturally want to sing for Your Highness." "very good!" The Mirror Heart Demon coldly threw a long sword to the actor and said, "Draw your sword. His Highness loves sword dancing the most. If you can't even dance with a sword, then you are not qualified to perform for His Highness." "This..." The actor was slightly stunned. Although actors knew a little about using swords, guns, sticks and clubs, if he were to compete with the adult in front of him, he would be in great danger. Moreover, he heard that many actors who were about to enter the presence of His Highness had died under the sword of this Lord Mirror Heart Demon. "Are you scared? If you are, get out of here!" Jing Xin Mo snorted disdainfully. If you want to be rich and powerful, you must be prepared to die. This is the truth of troubled times. Are you afraid of death? Humph, he doesn't need cowards under his command! While Jing Xinmo was lurking around Li Cunxu with a group of bad people, he was also constantly expanding the number of his subordinates. When he met a suitable candidate, he would absorb him into the bad people organization. Under Yuan Tiangang, except for Sanqianyuan and Shi Yao, he was the only one who had this power.
"Yes, sir." The actor finally chose to draw his sword. In the chaotic world, a man with a weak appearance like him is a resource. What's more, he is an actor. If he can't find a suitable backer, he will become someone else's plaything. The others here are not rich girls, but men, all kinds of men... Those soldiers who looted the city don't care whether you are a man or a woman. As long as you are good-looking, they can relieve their sexual desire anyway... bass! Drawing his sword in order to survive, the actor's eyes showed a bit more fighting spirit. With a whoosh, the long sword suddenly stabbed towards the Mirror Heart Demon, but this sword seemed a little hesitant. The Mirror Heart Demon slightly turned sideways, blocked with the long sword, then turned around and stabbed with the sword. With a snap, the long sword immediately pierced through the body. Bang! The actor fell to the ground, his eyes wide open. He didn't expect that he would be killed so easily. Mirror Heart Demon and the surrounding bad guys seemed to have long been accustomed to this. Picking up a white handkerchief, Mirror Heart Demon wiped the blood off the long sword and said lightly: "Next!" This was the rule that Jing Xinmo had already established, and he had also obtained the consent of Li Cunxu. All actors who wanted to show up in front of Li Cunxu had to fight under Jing Xinmo. Those who could pass it would be recruited by Jing Xinmo for his own use. Those who could not would only die! By noon, the bodies of actors in the courtyard had piled up to a height of one person. Mirror Heart Demon wiped the sweat off his face and said calmly, "Let's stop here today. Does the Marshal have any new instructions?" "Your Excellency, the commander-in-chief has not given any instructions, but I have heard some news about Your Highness from the bad people in Luoyang." A bad person stepped forward and said, "The Qianling Mausoleum incident has come to a conclusion." "Oh? Your Highness has come out of Qianling Mausoleum?" Jing Xinmo looked calm. He immediately took out three copper coins to calculate his fortune. Then his face became a little surprised and doubtful. "What's wrong, sir?" The bad guys at the side hurried forward. You know, Jing Xin Mo's divination skills are second only to their commander in chief in the world! "Strange?" Jing Xin Mo did another divination, not believing in evil, and then frowned and said, "It's so different from my previous divination. Although Your Highness must be fine, the Ghost King is still alive? How is this possible? According to the previous Qianling divination, the Ghost King should be doomed to die." At this time, the bad guy beside him also reported in time: "I was just about to report this to you. Your Highness spared the Ghost King's life. It seems that he has other intentions." Mirror Heart Demon thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Interesting, our prince is really interesting. I am looking forward to what he wants to do next. By the way, where is the prince now?" The bad man laughed when he heard this and said, "Speaking of this, my lord, you may be even more surprised. His Highness is in Luoyang right now, and has completely taken control of the Xuanming Sect. It seems that His Highness will also make big moves in Luoyang next. We already have many brothers gathering in Luoyang." Mirror Heart Demon said with a complicated expression: "Finally, finally the Marshal has waited for you?" …… Zhao State. Caught between Liang and Jin, King Wang Rong of Zhao was able to live in peace in a corner by trying to please all parties. However, years of peace seemed to have made Wang Rong lose his vigilance. Wang Rong had no ambition to be the king, and only knew how to enjoy himself all day long. His extravagant life made Wang Rong content with the status quo. "Your Majesty, Li Cunxu sent a generous gift, saying that he wanted to pass through our Zhao State to hunt down Liu Shouguang." As soon as the minister finished speaking, carts of gold, silver, jewels, jade carvings, and silks were transported into the palace. Wang Rong was delighted when he saw this and said, "Why be so polite?"
At this time, a heroic middle-aged man beside Wang Rong stepped out and said, "Father, Li Cunxu suddenly sent troops to destroy Yan. Liu Shouguang is no longer a powerful person, but he still wants to pass through our Zhao State. I'm afraid he has no good intentions. We have to be on guard!" This man's name is Zhang Wenli. He is quite brave on the battlefield, and he is also meticulous and ruthless. After he defected to Wang Rong, he worked for him and was highly appreciated by Wang Rong. However, an adopted son is still an adopted son, and Wang Rong is not completely at ease with him. In recent years, Wang Rong has begun to gradually take away the military power from Zhang Wenli, and it seems that he is quite afraid of his adopted son. "Wenli, what are you talking about? Jin State and my Zhao State have always been at peace. Don't talk nonsense and disrupt the harmony between the two countries." Wang Rong frowned and looked at Zhang Wenli. He was worried that Zhang Wenli wanted to use this incident to regain control of the military power, so he said this deliberately. Zhang Wenli frowned, then bowed and stepped back, "I know I was wrong." Wang Rong saw Zhang Wenli's clothes soften, and the smile on his face became wider, but he didn't notice the cold look in Zhang Wenli's eyes when he looked at him for the last time. In this special era, there is not much affection between the adoptive father and the adopted son... …… On September 22, the empress killed three Liang generals with her sword and broke through Chang'an. Wang Yanzhang led his iron spear army to escort Zhu Yourang to break through successfully. The Later Liang army retreated to Tongguan, and the Qi army also began to recover Guanzhong! On September 23, Shu general Xu Cun failed to capture Xiangzhou after a long siege. Xu Cun fought with Liang general Liu Yan several times, and the two sides ended in a draw. Shu and Liang fell into a tug-of-war. (End of this chapter)
