Chapter 330 Rebel

"Withdraw..." Under Ren Xiaoyao's order, the disciples of the demon sect gradually gathered and fought and retreated in the direction of the East Gate, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that Xiao Ran didn't want to call the golden python to help, but that the golden python suffered thousands of arrows in the palace to save him last time. Although it was blocked by scales and looked fine on the outside, it was actually a serious internal injury. When I found it, I was cultivating in the deep mountains, which was inconvenient to disturb. This only brings the roc bird to the sound, otherwise there is no need to be so troublesome.

With the Dapeng god bird, Xiao Ran is not afraid of Shi Zhuohang's raid. There is a limit to people's patience. If he doesn't know whether it's good or bad, Xiao Ran doesn't mind offending the Wudang faction, and even shakes out the secrets he overheard. Picking up the silver white feather and checking it carefully, it was exactly the same as what I got from "Mr. Qiu", with the word "ground" engraved on the back.

"Wan'er, let's go." Xiao Ran looked at the injured Tang Wentian. The people in the magic religion have retreated, and staying will not only help, but will add chaos. Tang Wan was reluctant and had to take care of the overall situation. Yang Fan and Xue Ling jumped up and stepped on the back of the Dapeng God Bird, leaving a group of strange-faced people.

After disappearing for a month, Xiao Ran appeared in the world again. This news is even more shocking than the Tianmo Church's attack on Tangjiabao. Some people are happy and some people are worried. It seems that he always has endless topics and always makes amazing things again and again. Will Xiao Ran be a generation of heroes in troubled times?

The turbulent situation in the imperial court was finally slowly eased after Xia Shuangtian, the head of the Xia family, the "God of War", woke up, and several reforms were carried out boldly. Even under the joint pressure of Zheng Wu, there was still nothing good. The name of the person, the shadow of the tree. He took half of the country of the Tang Dynasty. Who dares to disrespect him? The news that Xiao Ran was not dead spread all over the world. The court was shocked and sent two Shenlongwei masters outside to chase and kill him. At the same time, the sudden outbreak of a thing made all the efforts of the Xia family become a target of public criticism.

I don't know when such a rumor has been circulating in the world: "The fourth prince did not die of violent illness, but was stabbed to death, and the mastermind was the Xia family. At the beginning, Xia Shuangtian used Xiao Ran to kill the fourth prince. After success, the Xia family did not marry Xia Ruoyan to him as agreed, which made Xiao Ran resentful and assassinated Xia Shuangtian to seize the seven-star stone and fled to the world. The Xia family wanted to kill Xiao Ran and reported to the court and ordered to hunt down Xiao Ran.

In order to get along with the prince's relationship, Xia Ruoyan married the prince in order to seek the independence of the Xia family after the prince ascended the throne. Xiao Ran, who was furious again, broke into the palace regardless of life and death to make a scene at the prince's wedding and poisoned Prince Li Yan. Even Luo listed detailed evidence, which is completely consistent with time and logic, and it is an indisputable fact that the prince has repeatedly relieved the Xia family. The speed of rumors is unimaginable, and even the ban is endlessly suppressed.

Everyone suddenly realized it and spread it from word of mouth. Some readers who regarded Xiao Ran as a "saint of love" wrote a lot of articles to complain about Xiao Ran. Rights theory, conspiracy theory... The people of the Tang Dynasty seemed to know something extraordinary and gave full play to their imagination. The power of public opinion is strong because most people are ignorant. The paper wrapped the fire, and with the help of people, came into the court and was shocked. Zheng and Wu's two families spared no effort to hype about this matter, and a storm is coming.

Five days later, the emperor ordered 30,000 troops to take over Luoyang City, and all officials of the Xia family were suspended for investigation. No one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization, and the emperor will personally review it. There is no precedent for such scale and degree of attention.

In Xiafu, in the main hall, people gathered together with ugly faces. This is no longer a simple suppression, but a carefully planned big move that intends to suppress the Xia family in one fell swoop. The other party is thoughtful and lists a lot of evidence. If it is not the party concerned, I'm afraid Xia Shuangtian himself will believe it. "This is a common idea in the minds of all the Xia family. I guess it's either the Zheng family or the Wu family.

"The emperor has sent 30,000 troops to take over everything in Luoyang City, and all contact with the outside world has been cut off."

"Shuangtian holds half of the military power of the Tang Dynasty. How could the emperor sleep at ease? He has long wanted to hold the military power in his own hands. He knew it was a rumor and would definitely take this opportunity to do it. Do you think he is just on a whim..." said an old man.

"I have been worried for so many years, but I still have to do it after all. Thirty thousand troops are pressing on the border, which is forcing us.

"Assassination of the prince is a major crime of the nine clans. Not to mention our clan, even slaves are exiled thousands of miles, and the female family members are turned into prostitutes..."

"With the nature of Zheng and Wu families for many years, they will never let it go like this. This time our Xia family is really over..."

“...”

The whole thing*, Xiao Ran, a key figure, has not been seen since he appeared once in Tangjiabao. In any case, this black pot Xia family has been reced. The wall fell and everyone pushed it. Once they were caught, no one would stand up and say a fair word. If you want me to die, I have to die. What about the general protecting the country? He will never show mercy when he is involved in the country. The foot rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks; the birds are exhausted, and the good bow hides; this is the eternal truth.

What is the biggest support of the Xia family? Military power! The Xia family, who lost their military power, is nothing. The Xia family did not want the world to be peaceful. Only chaos can reflect the value of soldiers. Some people even speculated that the siege of the twelve docks of Taihu Lake was deliberately released by the Xia family, intending to leave hidden dangers for the Tang Dynasty and make the emperor afraid.

"It's the opposite!" A young man suddenly said.

"A presumptuous conspiracy is a big crime for the nine clans." The old man of the family shouted.

"Isn't it sitting here waiting for death? Even if they are not guilty, they will fabricate and planted. On the contrary, there is at least a chance to live. Why do they have to pinch their lives in the hands of others?"

"How can the loyalty of my Xia family be destroyed? Under the Yellow Spring, I have no words to see the ancestors. The old man's hand trembled with a crutch.

"A pedantic, once convicted, the corpse will not be flogged, the bones will be raised ashes, and the ancestral graves will not be left. Isn't it even more shameful to see the ancestors? Han Xin, Bi Gan, Qu Yuan, which one has a good end? History is written by the emperor. There is no need to add sin. The more the man said, the more excited he became.

Xia Shuangtian frowned and said nothing. His eyes flashed and he looked at the young man carefully. Side children are generally rarely entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and there are many talented people. Obviously, this person is very assertive and dares to do it, not with the tide. What this young man said is not unreasonable, but it is obviously not feasible for these old antiques to change their ideas at once. This is also the most worrying thing about Xia Shuangtian.

Most of the elders in the clan advocated not moving and accepting the emperor's investigation, hoping that the emperor would make a side in the past military achievements. The younger generation is more inclined to rebel and control their own destiny. Opinions are not at odds and quarreling. With a loud bang, Xia Shuangtian smashed the tea table with one hand. Everyone in the field consciously shut up. After all, Xia Shuangtian, the head of the family, hasn't said anything yet.

"Even if the fourth prince is not assassinated, it will only be a matter of time before the emperor will attack my Xia family. This time, he just found an excuse. I didn't expect him to wait so much. Since Li Xian wants to force me, it's the opposite!" Xia Shuangtian thought for a long time.

The three words "reverse" have been echoing in everyone's ears, and everyone is shocked. Once this step is taken, there will be no room for manoeuvre. Luoyang City has long been of the same heart under the painstaking management of the Xia family. Almost all the government troops are selected from Luozhou and are absolutely loyal. Luoyang is the old capital of the previous dynasty. All the fortifications are no worse than Chang'an. In a short period of time, 10,000 black armored troops are enough to protect themselves.

"Second brother, have you really figured it out?" An old man frowned.

Xia Shuangtian nodded slightly: "Don't worry, the name God of War is not for nothing. Since I dare to oppose him, I have the capital to oppose him." The old man sighed slightly and said nothing more. At this time, we can only rely on summer frost days.

30,000 troops were rejected by the Xia family and were resisted before they arrived in Los Angeles. The court was full of officials attached to Zheng Wu's two families. With a slight instigation, the emperor ordered the attack of Los Angeles seven days later on the charge of "against the decree". The army of other states, counties and counties is also slowly being dispatched. The Xia family is trapped on all sides and the situation is critical. Seven days later, the army attacked the city. Under the offensive of the Black Armor Army, which was famous in the Xia family, it was difficult to shake at all and suffered heavy casualties.
