Translator: 549690339
King Shenwu’s name had been earned by killing his way through.
However, the battle at Floating Jade Mountain could no longer be concealed. Whoever came would die.
After that, someone calculated that many people on the three lists of the martial world, the Man List, the Earth List, and the Heaven List, had died in his hands, not to mention a few people from the Legendary Level Twenty Heavens.
“The Turkic diplomatic mission is about to arrive. Do you think the princess will agree to their marriage proposal?”
“I don’t think so.”
Another person suddenly sighed. ” Now that I think about it, the emperor abandoned the city and fled. It was King Shenwu and the ninth princess who guarded the city. If it weren’t for these two people, the entire imperial city would have turned into ruins long ago. How could it be like today? ”
“Rumors are terrible. He was clearly a hero who defended the city and saved people, but he became a sinner, a tyrant, and a disloyal and unfilial disciple. In my opinion, those who spread rumors and cause trouble should be executed by a thousand cuts and their heads hung on the city walls.”
“Black and white are reversed, good and evil cannot be distinguished…”
“We also made a big mistake.”
Many people in the pugilistic world saw the current scene in the Imperial City and heard how the villagers evaluated the siblings. Only then did they suddenly realize many things.
Rumors were scary.
Those who spread rumors really deserved to die.
Everyone was not brainless. After the heat of the swarm of bees died down, they calmed down and thought about it carefully. Suddenly, they realized that there was really a problem. It was as if they had been led by someone from the beginning to the end. However, if they removed all the embellishments, they would realize that from the beginning to the end, it was ‘Guifang broke through the city, the emperor was incompetent and fled south, while King Shenwu turned the tide and defended the capital.’
After that, the matter of killing the emperor and his father was too deep. Some people also thought of many suspicious points.
If it was just a simple internal strife within the royal family, why would it draw out legendary figures at the level of the Twenty Heavens, and seven of them at once?
Before the emperor died, he dismissed all the guards in the palace, as if he was waiting for someone.
All of this showed that things were not as they thought.
Rumors were like this…
Among the 10,000 people who were jeering, there was one who was spreading rumors, a few who understood, a few who were watching, and the rest who were hot-headed and did not think twice to join in the commotion.
Calling a deer a horse, twisting black and white, and forcing people to death. The real villain was free, but the real victim was wronged. Was this rare?
If the truth was revealed, it would be called redressing injustice. However, those who died unjustly had already died. Moreover, there were many who had not been redressed.
Now,
The matter of King Shenwu’s disloyalty and unfilial behavior was finally exposed, and his reputation was quickly recovering. However, did Xia Ji care about ‘Zhao Xue’?
He did not care.
Why should he care about what the world thought?
At this moment…
A young man was sitting in the spring rain in front of the western city gate.
The spring rain patters down,
The young man was sitting in front of a sandalwood tea table with a gold pattern.
On the coffee table was a mountain of wine jars, and he was drinking glass after glass.
The rain drenched his clothes and his long white hair.
He was the only one sitting in the rain on the street, feeling at ease. No one else dared to look at him strangely.
Because he was King Shenwu.
He did not care about the looks of these people.
The west gate was wide open.
Outside the door was the Turkic diplomatic mission, led by Ashili, who was riding a tall horse and greedily scanning the Imperial City.
Suddenly, four words came from afar.
“Dismount and enter the city.”
Ashili raised his head and saw Xia Ji sitting in the spring rain, drinking alone. Sweeping his gaze over his small arms and legs, the Turkic general laughed loudly..
