This is the ninth time the system has done this. It should be super awesome.

"Mother, why did you kill Marshal Jiang and his family? They are the pillars of Or." The emperor's furious words echoed in the empress dowager's health-care hall.

The Queen Mother just sat in the main seat silently, watching her son getting angry, and took a sip of tea.

"Except for the girl from the Jiang family and Ling Feng who made the fireworks, all the other 345 people in the Jiang family are dead. Why? Why kill them?" He looked at his mother with an unpleasant expression, and he needed an answer. The Jiang family was the pillar of the kingdom. Without the Jiang family, there would be no Or Kingdom. But when he got the news, it was too late.

The Queen Mother put down her teacup, glanced at her son Yuwen Tuo nonchalantly, and then said calmly: "This is what your father meant."

Emperor Yuwen Tuo felt a little numb after hearing this. Father? His own father? But hadn't he passed away a long time ago?

"Father, are you still alive?" Yuwen Tuo asked uncertainly.

"What do you think? Do you think I don't know the significance of the Jiang family to our Yuwen family? Or do you think that I, your mother, am just a woman of no importance?" After listening to his mother's gradually cold voice, Yuwen Tuo suppressed his anger.

"Then why should we kill them? Can't we talk? Doesn't father know the importance of the Jiang family?" After hearing that it was his father's intention, Yuwen Tuo was a little scared, but he was still unwilling in his heart.

"Hmph, I don't know what he was thinking. However, when he told me at the time, he told me to cut the weeds and uproot them. I just did as he said." The Queen Mother returned to her calm expression.

Yuwen Tuo narrowed his eyes and said nothing more. He snorted and turned away.

"That tyrant father is not dead? But why? Why did he kill the Jiang family? And she let my mother do all these things without informing me. This is not right." Yuwen Tuo's hands clenched tightly, and he was very angry, but he was really afraid of the existence of that blood relative.

In the early days, my father was very sensible and reasonable, but in the later days, he became cruel and bloodthirsty. He would kill people if they disagreed with him. At that time, half of the officials in the court were beheaded for no reason and their homes were confiscated. Even his brothers and sisters were not spared, and more than ten of them were killed. In the end, it was the queen mother who led the masters to surround and kill him, otherwise he would not have been able to ascend to the throne so early.

"Well, what is that?" A city guard soldier on the top of the city looked into the distance. Yellow sand filled the sky and formed a yellow line.

"What's wrong, Lao Xue, what are you looking at?" Another soldier also looked over there curiously after hearing it.

"I don't know." The two were still chatting when a shrill bell rang.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, everyone be on alert, close the city gates." A general wearing chain armor dropped from the sky, commanding the chaotic scene while taking out a communication device.

"Your Highness, it's an emergency. Tens of thousands of monsters are rushing towards the East Gate where I am. Please quickly mobilize experts to defend it." His voice was a little trembling. He was the one who sounded the alarm. His cultivation was at the imperial level, and his perception was not comparable to those soldiers. He was originally sleeping lazily and was awakened by a slight vibration. He didn't pay attention at first, but the intuition of fighting outside for many years made him feel uneasy, so he got up to check.

At this moment, he was still thankful, "Fortunately, fortunately, my instincts are still there, otherwise it would be terrible."

The people in the capital were a little panicked at this moment. They knew about the alarm bell, but this was the first time it rang. You know, since the founding of the Kingdom of Or, the bell representing the alarm had never been rung and it had always been a decoration.

If it rings now, it means that the city is in danger of being breached. Any calmness would be a lie. The whole city is in chaos. Only some mysteriously confident people remain calm.

Under the general's nervous gaze, the yellow line in the distance gradually dissipated, but the feeling of hair standing on end did not disappear. Seeing his soldiers relax one by one, he hurriedly shouted: "Cheer up, the danger is not over yet."

At this moment, after Ling Feng determined Jiang Xinxin's location, he led the monsters to a hilltop. Jiang Xinxin had forgotten about being sad and crying, and stared at the overwhelming group of monsters with her red eyes. If Ling Feng hadn't told her in advance, she would have thought she was going to die, scared to death.

Looking at the beauty in front of me, she no longer has the coquettishness and beauty of the past, but is only haggard and weak.

"Sister, don't be sad. I'm here to take you to revenge." Looking at the man in front of her who was half a head taller than her, Jiang Xinxin's tears slowly rolled down her face and she threw herself into Ling Feng's arms and burst into tears.

Holding Jiang Xinxin in his arms, the smiling faces of the Jiang family members flashed before his eyes, and his heart was filled with grief.

Holding Jiang Xinxin, he sat on Peng Si, who had transformed into his original form, and continued to rush towards the capital with the herd of beasts.

A crowd of people gathered on the city wall, looking nervously at the approaching group of monsters. Yuwen Tuo stood in the front with a serious expression.

When the monster came close, he walked out of the crowd and came to the top of the city.

"I wonder which leader is coming this time?" Looking at the herd of beasts in front of him, there are probably tens of thousands of them. He was worried. These are all high-level monsters, and the weakest one is equivalent to a king-level powerhouse. How can he fight these tens of thousands of them?

The beasts did not respond, but quietly surrounded the East City Gate.

"Look, some people are walking out from the monsters. Why do they look familiar?" At this time, someone discovered three people, one man and two women, walking out from the herd.

Yuwen Tuo narrowed his eyes. He recognized two of the three people. How could he not recognize them? They were the last two survivors of the Jiang family.

"Your Majesty, long time no see." Ling Feng greeted him without a trace of emotion.

Yuwentuo frowned and responded with a stiff face: "Long time no see, I wonder what you are doing?"

"Haha, you're asking even though you already know the answer. Of course you're here for revenge." Ling Feng sneered. Playing dumb? It was good enough that he didn't say anything before massacring the city.

"Well, we can discuss it..." Yuwen Tuo was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"There is no room for negotiation. I came here to avenge the Jiang family. There is no point in saying more. If it weren't for Sister Xin's concern for the people, I would have massacred the whole city."

Yuwen Tuo's heart trembled violently. With the beasts in front of him, it would be easy to destroy the entire Kingdom of Or, let alone massacre the city.

"Brother Ling, please listen to me, the Jiang family's affairs were not my idea. I understand the importance of the Jiang family to the country, and everyone understands it too. But when I found out, it was already too late, and there was nothing I could do to remedy the situation." Yuwen Tuo's words now contained a hint of begging for mercy.

The people behind him also had mixed feelings. A loyal general of the Jiang family was gone just like that. There were hundreds of people, and only the two in front of him survived. They all felt a little sad. Fortunately, the soldiers in the army did not know about this, otherwise, the Kingdom of Or would have been in chaos even without the siege of the monsters. The prestige and support of the Jiang family in the military was not even shared by the royal family. If the soldiers in the military knew that their beloved marshal's family had died tragically, they would probably surround the imperial capital and rebel.

The people in the city were so frightened that their legs went limp and they were in a panic.

"Your Highness, why should you be afraid of them? The ten leaders of the monsters have signed a contract with us humans." At this time, a man in the crowd said with disdain on his face.

Yuwen Tuo narrowed his eyes and looked at the man. If he remembered correctly, this man was a priest from his mother's side.

How could he not know about the contract? Are you fucking blind? Can't you see that there are all high-level monsters here? Without the instructions of those ten guys, is it possible? Contract? Haha, it's just a mutually beneficial agreement. Humans need monster pills, and monsters need to limit their numbers. And it's possible that some of the ten are here.

I don't know how this guy did it. With this lineup, unifying the continent will be no problem.
