The red blood and various organs were still flying in the air, and even the heart that was thrown high was still beating, as if at this moment, the split Dong Zhongshou was still alive.
Headless Peng Longteng leaned back, using the heavy armor on her body to catch the things falling from the sky.
She held the jawbone with skin in her hand, slowly grinding it with her large hands until it turned into bone powder.
Peng Longteng's body trembled uncontrollably. She was too eager for slaughter, eager to kill one living person after another.
Who knows how long she had been thinking about this moment, but today she finally got her fix.
"Bang!" The spiked meteor hammer slammed heavily on Peng Longteng's armor, making a muffled sound. Instead of getting angry, Peng Longteng was excited and rushed towards the people who were trying to kill her.
These seemed to be Dong's family servants seeking revenge, but at this moment, in Peng Longteng's eyes, they were just tools to enjoy the slaughter.
The outcome seemed to be predetermined. A military strategist without any weak points was almost impossible to defeat.
Originally, others seemed to want to send their own servants to help, but when Li Huowang joined the battle and showed his strength, everyone fell silent.
After a short time, the noisy courtyard quieted down, with a few more corpses underground.
Li Huowang walked slowly to the towering shadow of Peng Longteng, looking at everyone below, the so-called direct descendants of the Ji family.
At this moment, they were all protected by their guards, looking at the Daoist in red robes with fear and suspicion. Many of them had gathered together, while some had already left.
"Before I came, someone wanted to kill me, so I used some means to force some information out of their mouths," Li Huowang said, patting his torture kit with his hand.
"Guess what I found out? I found out that during this time, all the deaths were just small fries. None of the nine who were fighting for the Dragon Throne died. I realized that both you and they were wrong, and very wrong!"
"This time is not an ordinary political change. Put away your old ways. There is no need for political exchanges here, no interests at stake, and no need for any political strategizing! What is needed is killing! What is needed is refining gu! Except for the one on the throne, everyone else must die! Not a single one left!"
There was one more thing that Li Huowang kept to himself, which was the iron law set by the late emperor in the imperial temple, with no room for any modifications.
"So when someone threatens the emperor's life, do you think the emperor wants us to do? He doesn't want to know who his allies are, or what the relationship is. Our goal is to kill them all!"
Li Huowang lifted his foot and stomped heavily, crushing the half head at his feet into pieces.
After a brief moment of silence, the headless military strategist stood up with a pale face, pointing a trembling finger at Li Huowang.
"My senior brother has made great contributions to the emperor! He is an indispensable minister by the emperor's side. How dare you kill him? The emperor will not let you off!"
"No, the emperor will not bother with such a trivial matter, because what the emperor wants is to remove the obstacles and help him ascend the throne. Since your senior brother couldn't even handle an opponent, he is of no value to the emperor."
Peng Longteng behind Li Huowang had already disappeared without a trace at some point, and he walked back to his position.
Reaching for the roast goose on the table, Li Huowang spoke as if talking to himself, "Your Majesty, if you continue to dawdle like this, your Evil Parasite will be in vain. It's time to take real action."
"For you, I am a sword, a very sharp sword. Don't let the sword go to waste."
Under everyone's gaze, Li Huowang left the mansion. He didn't know if there were any spies from the Ji family in the courtyard, but he was sure that if he stayed, his words would definitely reach the ears of the Ji family.
Sure enough, the next morning, Li Huowang received an oral decree from an old eunuch.
The decree contained only one piece of information: tomorrow afternoon, the Empress Dowager will leave the city to visit the Putan Temple, with Princess Changning accompanying her.
"So the emperor wants me to kill Princess Changning right under the Empress Dowager's nose?" Li Huowang asked the old eunuch in front of him.
The old eunuch shook his head without any emotion and began to tell a little story as if chatting.
"Both are children, and in an ordinary family, it's hard to treat them equally, let alone in the royal family. The Empress Dowager gave birth to three sons and a daughter, but she favored the Fourth Prince more, and her affection for the emperor has always been thin."
"When the emperor was young and the late emperor was not yet in power, when he was in the Hengwang Mansion, the charcoal money he received every winter was less than others, so he has always hated winter."
Hearing this, Li Huowang nodded and immediately understood the other party's meaning. It seemed that the Ji family's Evil Parasite had not been in vain. They wanted him to take care of his own sister and mother.
The Empress Dowager naturally would not fight for the throne, so in that case, it seemed that the Empress Dowager thought that her own son, Ji Lin, had no chance, and was putting all her hopes on her other son.
After the old eunuch finished speaking, he looked at Li Huowang with a meaningful smile and lightly tapped him with the floating dust of gold thread in his hand.
"Princess Changning has some good guards. Since you say you are a sword that can cut iron like mud, we'll see how fast your sword is."
"Master, a sword is only fast if it's sharp, but I don't like fame or profit. Unfortunately, I have many troubles around me and I hope that when I encounter trouble in the future, my friends who owe me favors can help me out."

"Oh, you haven't even done the job yet, and you're already talking conditions? Finish the job first."
Li Huowang watched the old eunuch walk out of his courtyard and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that there are more than just those useless people around Ji Lin," Li Huowang said thoughtfully.Among those eunuchs in the palace, there truly were many with exceptional abilities. How could he utilize them to become a force to counter the Dice?
"Dad, why can't I understand what you're saying?" Li Sui, gnawing on a roasted goose, asked.
"There's no need for you to understand. Is the roast goose tasty?"
"Tasty."
"As long as it's tasty, that's good. Once you're done, empty the water from the jar, fill it with soil, and help me move it to the bedroom."
Li Huowang rummaged through the carriage for a while and carefully took out an iron box. The iron box was tightly sealed, and its minute crevices were stuffed full of wax, as if fearing that something inside might escape.
