Who told you to slay demons like this?

"Qiang!"

The long sword was unsheathed, drawing a graceful arc in the air and slashing towards Jin Cai.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

The old eunuch who had followed the emperor for many years let out a cry of surprise, knelt on the ground, and gently tugged at the dragon robe.

The emperor's anger suddenly calmed down. Now Dashun still needed Lu Lingjue to guard the border. Jin Cai was the second son-in-law of the Lu family and could not be killed...

"Brother Meng, you must make the decision for Yu'er!"

Xin Yu'er's soft and tender voice was heard. The emperor turned around and saw Yu'er timidly pulling at her sleeves.

Her eyes were red on her delicate and innocent little face, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The emperor made up his mind. What about the Lu family? As a subject, daring to desecrate the concubine is a capital crime!

I have shown you special mercy by not executing all nine clans of the Lu family. Today, I must seek justice for Yu'er!

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

"You had a grudge against General Lu before, so you must not kill Jin Shaoqing."

"If General Lu gets angry about this, Dashun will be finished..."

For some reason, several ministers suddenly appeared and stood up to stop the emperor from blessing Meng.

Xin Yuer glanced at the ministers who had been notified in advance, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

She clenched her teeth and acted pitifully, "Brother Meng, let's just forget about this..."

"Don't let Yu'er make General Lu unhappy again."

"Anyway, nothing happened anyway, thanks to Brother Meng for coming in time."

Listening to Xin Yuer's grievances, Emperor Zhu Meng felt his blood boiling, and out of instinct, he wanted to kill Jin Cai on the spot.

But now, he had once again grasped Lu Lingjue's soft spot. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and spoke in a cold tone.

"Jin Shaoqing is guilty of insubordination and will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!"

The palace was in chaos, and the palace banquet was ruined.

Lu Lingxue learned from her followers that her husband had committed insubordination and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

The attendant only said that it was the palace maid who bumped into him, and the husband went to change his clothes. Then the emperor was furious and had the husband thrown into prison.

The servant who had accompanied her husband to change clothes had long disappeared, and the ministers remained silent.

Lu Lingxue thought to herself that this was not good. Thinking about why the emperor was angry, Lu Lingxue had already guessed it almost exactly...

The palace banquet ended early, and Lu Lingxue was at a loss. After returning to the Jin Mansion, she was about to take out the letter to ask her elder sister for help, but she suddenly stopped.

"It must be that the imperial concubine deliberately set up trouble and framed my husband..."

"The Jin family has been in charge of sacrifices for generations. They are not powerful officials. There is no need to frame him."

"I think they came here for the Lu family. Now my eldest sister is busy on the front line. Do I really want to tell her about this?"

Lu Lingxue was worried about her husband's safety, and at the same time she was afraid that her request for help would drag down her elder sister.

"Forget it. Now that my husband has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, I guess the emperor doesn't want his life, but just wants to control my sister..."

"Let's keep this matter to ourselves for now and don't tell my sister."

Lu Lingxue remained silent but the palace was in chaos.

Xin Yuer attempted suicide late at night but failed, and was rescued by a palace maid. The emperor was sleeping soundly and was awakened by a eunuch.

He hurried to the harem, only to see Xin Yuer dying, with the deep red marks on her neck shocking.

"Yu'er, are you crazy?"

Xin Yu'er's eyes were gray and lifeless, "Brother Meng, let Yu'er die."

"How can Yu'er continue to stay here when such an ugly incident happened..."

"Yu'er doesn't want to embarrass Brother Meng. Yu'er knows that Brother Meng is in a difficult situation. That thief is a relative of the Lu family, and Brother Meng can't help Yu'er to seek justice."

"The Lu family is very powerful and influential. The safety of Dashun depends on General Lu. Yu'er is just a weak woman. It's really not worth it..."

"Yu'er doesn't blame Brother Meng. It's Yu'er who dragged Brother Meng down."

The emperor was young and energetic, and most of the concubines in the palace were daughters of court officials and ladies from wealthy families. They were very strict with rules in their daily lives and were quite boring.

The sudden appearance of the innocent Xin Yuer injected unparalleled freshness into his dull and boring life.

In particular, although he is the emperor, the palace needs the protection of Sizhu, and Dashun needs the protection of the Lu family. He needs to be extremely cautious in his words and actions.

The civil and military officials don't need him, and the people of Dashun don't need him either. As long as the Demon-Slaying Sizhu and the Lu family are safe, he just needs to be a mascot.

It was precisely the appearance of Xin Yuer that made him feel that he was needed.

Xin Yuer has no one to rely on and needs to protect herself in order to gain a foothold in this harem.

But now, Lu's in-laws want to do something indecent to Yu'er, but I still have to make Yu'er suffer for one reason or another.

If I can't even protect Yu'er's safety, what's the point of being the emperor?

"Pass on my order, order the demon slayer to go to the border and recall Lu Lingjue!"

"If Lu Lingjue dares to disobey, I will slaughter the entire Lu family!"

Qiongping City.

Lu Lingjue listened to the imperial edict brought by the Demon Slayer with a cold look, as if he was unwilling to obey.

Chi Rong, the Demon Slayer, wears black clothes with gold threads and has a cold face. Unlike the Demon Slayer, the duty of the eight demon slayers in the imperial city is to guard the dragon veins.

As for any demons causing trouble, it has nothing to do with them.

The eight Sizhu did not care about the emperor's orders. As long as the dragon vein agreed that he would be the emperor, he would be the emperor of Dashun.

The Sizhu lineage is hereditary, and those who can serve as Sizhu are naturally people of considerable strength.

"Liuzhu Kanshui Chi Rong? The emperor actually dispatched you?" Lu Lingjue looked at Chi Rong without changing his expression.

Chi Rong has a handsome face and is absent-minded.

"I don't want to get involved in this. If it weren't for the kindness of the late emperor, who had done me a favor, I wouldn't have gone through this."

"I won't say much, General Lu, let's go."

Lu Lingjue raised her eyes and looked at the people who were rebuilding their homes, and she clenched her palms.

"Chi Sizhu, please go back."

"I won't go back to the Imperial City!"

Lu Lingjue's words were firm and decisive. She was tired of these boring intrigues. She just wanted to be like her father, guarding the border and slaying demons.

Before, she was worried about the emperor and worried that the fox demon would seduce her master, so she rushed to the imperial city to dissuade it. However, she hesitated for a moment and caused such a disaster.

Today, the lost territories have not yet been fully recovered, the threats from Tianling Pavilion and the Blood Demon Pool are still there, the hidden dangers of the Tianyao Alliance have not been eliminated, and Dashun is in imminent danger.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this stupid dog emperor. He is so arrogant that he forces himself to return to the city at the critical moment when the war is about to break out.

When Qin Xi and I have solved the hidden dangers of demons and returned to the imperial city, this dog emperor is so incompetent that it is okay to kill him.

"General Lu, are you really going to make things so ugly?" Seeing that Lu Lingjue had no intention of returning to the city, Chi Sizhu's eyes were filled with anger.

"The lives and fortunes of the entire Lu family are in the hands of Your Majesty!"

"Since General Lu refuses to obey, then don't blame me for offending you!"

After saying that, Chi Sizhu circulated the spiritual power in his body, and several azure blue water-based spiritual energy surged, ready to attack.

Lu Lingjue's face turned pale and he summoned out his red tasseled spear, looking as if he was ready to fight the opponent.

"Snapped!"

Before Chi Sizhu even had the chance to attack, Qin Xi, who was watching the fun curiously, suddenly jumped out and slapped Chi Sizhu hard.
