0060 Zhao Jing will never forget, Zhao Jing will never forgive.
Tragic, utterly tragic.
When the explosion occurred, Abbot Liaochen and Prince Zhenbei joined forces to seal off the military tent.
No one else was affected; Yuwen Yi bore the brunt of it all.
However, even if the two of them hadn't intervened, it wouldn't have affected them in the first place.
The shattering of the Sumeru Ring caused a spatial tear to occur throughout the military camp.
Such destructive power was entirely contained within the military camp and would not leak out, instead bombarding Yuwen Yi.
A scapegoat doll!
A bright light emanated from Yuwen Yi's body, and he actually teleported at that moment.
All the damage was dealt to the substitute doll.
Otherwise, even if he had the cultivation of a grandmaster, he would still be seriously injured.
Because Zhao Jing used the Sumeru Ring, a mid-grade treasure, to teach him a harsh lesson.
Boom!
The entire military tent was reduced to nothing.
"Who is it?!"
"I will definitely kill you and grind your bones to dust!"
"Crush his bones to ashes!"
Before Yuwen Yi could calm down, he saw that Yuwen Zhe's body had vanished without a trace, completely annihilated in the spatial explosion.
His own brother died, and his body was never found.
He was still calling out "Fourth Brother" before he died.
How could Yuwen Yi not be angry, how could he not roar?
At this moment, the Heavenly Slaughter Scripture pushed the killing intent to its highest level, causing all things to fall silent and all living beings to tremble with fear.
Only the conch shell continued to broadcast:
"In the fifty-seventh year of the Hongjing reign..."
"Destroy them all!"
The princess's clear, cold voice echoed over the capital's garrison, ordering her subordinates to destroy all the papers and conch shells.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The princess's attendants, as if waking from a dream, began to destroy these deadly items.
The civil and military officials who had initially surrendered looked at each other in bewilderment.
How could such a person be a royal consort?
Regardless of Yuwen Yi's current situation, his actions in the first half of his life can be described as utterly wicked.
It's okay to do bad things, the important thing is not to become a clown.
A tyrant who slaughters millions can also subdue the masses.
But Zhao Jing chose the most vicious method to attack Yuwen Yi.
You're a rapist.
I have reformed.
You're a rapist.
I once led a large army to fight against the orcs.
You're a rapist.
Can we not mention this?
Your whole family are animals!
……
This kind of propaganda tactic is absolutely vicious.
What did Zhao Jing do?
He was simply recounting what Yuwen Yi and Gu Changfeng had done in the past.
This is enough to shock the world.
Before the information age, even the worst person would find it difficult to spread their bad reputation.
But Zhao Jing still had newspapers, which he would use to spread the glorious deeds of these people to the whole world.
Even thugs and hooligans would look down on this person and find him disgusting.
What kind of grand tutor's son, the Optimus Prime of the Empire, and the fiancé of the Eldest Princess?
You're a rapist.
No matter how many despicable things a civil or military official might do behind the scenes, they would still despise this person from the bottom of their hearts.
Who would be willing to submit to a rapist and work diligently for the court?
The Great Yong Empire was never sacred.
But the empire needs dignity.
On stage, one can be a tyrant, but not a clown.
This actually reveals the essence of the information war.
If you portray your enemy as too powerful, like a demon king, you may create a charismatic villain, causing more people to fall in love with the villain.
But nobody really likes a sleazy clown; they just make people laugh and mock.
Zhao Jing knew that Yuwen Yi was planning this coup; his methods and shrewdness were truly remarkable.
so what?
We are enemies, why would you expect me to praise you?
Zhao Jing will only completely erase him from public opinion, instead of slandering him or condemning how bad he is.
Just tell me all the despicable things he's done, one by one.
This is enough.
The princess's fiancé is a rapist.
So, Your Majesty, what are you?
Zhao Jing's revenge was ruthless.
As the princess listened to Yinluo recount Yuwen Yi's glorious past, it felt as if someone was whipping her face.
It caused her a burning pain.
The eldest princess agreed to this marriage because Yuwen Yi had reformed himself over the years.
The dark history of the past is gradually being forgotten.
The prodigal son does not exchange for gold.
Public opinion has gradually forgotten the evil deeds Yuwen Yi committed. Now, Zhao Jing is using Yuwen Zhe's death to bring the truth to light.
Because Zhao Jing will never forget, Zhao Jing will never forgive.
The only person in the world who truly understands Zhao Jing is his older brother, Zhao Wei.
"Your personality is actually quite awful."
"Gentle on the surface, generous and tolerant."
"These are all illusions, because you simply don't care about those things."
"When you really encounter something you care about, you might be more ruthless than anyone else and do something earth-shattering."
"I will truly pity anyone who offends you in the future."
"So pitiful."
The future empress, the princess's fiancé, can be a charismatic villain, but not a clown.
The princess and her entourage silently processed the papers and the conch shells, but they knew it was of little use.
As long as Zhao Jing is alive, he will use various means to inform the people and officials in various places.
His propaganda campaign will not stop until he is utterly disgraced and everything Yuwen Yi has lost is destroyed.
But the eldest princess quickly realized what was happening.
The Yuwen family are allies, and Gu Changfeng is a useful person.
Even if they have problems, they shouldn't be punished at this time.
At this moment, Gu Changfeng was kneeling on the ground, spitting blood, his eyes lifeless.
All the civil and military officials knew about it.
What should we do?
He heard the voice of the eldest princess:
[Serve me, and I will arrange for you to fake your death and escape.]
From this day forward, there will be no more Gu Changfeng, only my henchmen.
[Agree, and I'll spare your life.]
Gu Changfeng is a grandmaster, and a master of grandmaster skills at that; we cannot allow the enemy to destroy him through public opinion.
Since that's the case, then protect it.
However, the price is that Gu Changfeng must pledge complete loyalty.
Faced with this desperate situation, the eldest princess made a swift decision.
Even if Gu Changfeng is a villain, he is still her villain, and she must protect him.
Yes, Your Highness!
No, Your Majesty!
Gu Changfeng felt as if he had grasped a lifeline.
Zhao Jing's treacherous scheme plunged him into an abyss, leaving him no choice but to submit.
At the same time, the eldest princess coldly rebuked:
"My esteemed ministers, all of this is merely a rumor spread by the enemy."
"How rampant these remnants of rebellion are!"
"They even conspired to frame Governor Gu, intending to bring the court into an unjust situation."
"Such rumors must never be spread."
"We understand!"
The civil and military officials, who were accompanying the princess and her entourage to the enthronement ceremony, naturally did not dare to voice any dissent.
But you can't see into someone's heart, so who knows what they're really thinking? But the way they looked at Yuwen Yi was filled with disdain.
The person behind this is truly ruthless.
I've never seen anything like it before.
The Prince of Zhenbei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing he hadn't suffered any real loss.
Even after the Yuwen family suffered a blow, he still felt an urge to laugh.
The main reason is that Zhao Jing made the most of Yuwen Zhe's remains.
He first had Yuwen Zhe take the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill given to him by Gu Changfeng, which restored his body to its original state.
He then claimed that he was unable to participate in the meeting due to his physical limitations, and that he had spent all his energy writing documents and setting traps before finally giving his aunt the second gift.
The eldest princess, with her resolute character, quickly composed herself and gave the order:
"Gu Changfeng".
"Your subject is here!"
"I hereby order you to investigate this matter and uncover the truth behind it."
Gu Changfeng immediately agreed:
"Yes, Your Highness."
The eldest princess has regained her composure and is no longer affected by the news.
"My beloved ministers, let us now depart for Longevity Hill."
"No matter how the traitors try to obstruct us, it will all be in vain."
"Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess! Long live the Princess!"
Despite the negative impact of the news on the civil and military officials, who had a very bad impression of Yuwen Yi.
But it was truly remarkable that the eldest princess could remain calm under such circumstances.
Everyone acknowledges her talent.
At this moment, Yuwen Yi calmed down:
"Your Highness, I am willing to go and scout ahead."
"To prevent the enemy from setting another trap."
He still remembered the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation he had set up. At that time, the turmoil in Yujing had ended, and he could no longer contact Master Longlou.
Yuwen Yi naturally sent people to investigate, and now it seems there are problems as well.
We can't fall for that again.
The eldest princess nodded:
"I entrust everything to you, my dear minister."
Yuwen Yi vanished from his spot in an instant, rushing towards the location of the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation.
Fortunately, when he arrived, his maid Qiu Hong was still crouching near the formation.
Upon seeing Yuwen Yi, Qiu Hong exclaimed in surprise:
"Young master, what brings you here?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince said he would wait until the enthronement ceremony was over to prevent any problems from arising at Longevity Hill."
"This servant will stay here to guard against an enemy attack."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yi's expression changed, and he immediately shouted:
"Qiu Hong, step back immediately!"
But it was too late.
The most distinctive feature of the Qiankun Dragon Locking Formation is its ability to lock the power of the imperial tomb and then release it.
Zhao Chuan waited a long time; without Master Longlou as the core of the formation, he had accumulated power for a long time.
I'm afraid I won't be able to kill my opponent.
Now he's here.
"Fourth Brother, you've arrived."
The next second, Zhao Chuan took a step forward, releasing the power of the entire Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation.
"Qiu Hong!!!"
Yuwen Yi unleashed a Heavenly Killing Fist.
But it was too late.
When the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation releases all its accumulated power in one go, even a grandmaster-level expert will be severely injured.
The person he loved most turned to ashes right before his eyes, and he was swept away along with them.
"Second brother, did I do something good?"
Zhao Chuan sat on the ground and died.
"Yes, dear brother."
Upon hearing Yuwen Yi's roar, Zhao Jing revealed a pleased smile.
Yuwen Yi, you don't need to be sad.
Even sadder moments are yet to come.
.........
Longevity Hill, Imperial Mausoleum
"Ancestor, you said the Bone of Destiny has been given to Zhao Jing?"
The princess's expression immediately changed.
It's as if the most important thing has been stolen.
That thief!
Emperor Taizu nodded:
"I will compensate you with the greatest amount of dragon energy and the strength of a peak saint."
"I will recognize you as Empress, and the power of our ancestors will be at your disposal."
"With your talent, you will soon be promoted to Grandmaster."
"But you still have a small test: kill Zhao Jing and retrieve the Heavenly Fate Bone."
"Only then will you be the true Empress of the Great Yong Dynasty."
"What, you can't even defeat a nephew who has lost power?"
"Having killed so many brothers, killing one more won't hurt."
Feeling the surging power within her, the eldest princess naturally wouldn't object to the founding emperor, and could only grit her teeth and say:
"The descendants will remember this."
"There's one more thing."
Emperor Taizu smiled:
"The Yuwen family possesses two pieces of destiny bones."
"What?"
Yuwen Yi naturally wouldn't tell the eldest princess his biggest secret.
Only then did the eldest princess understand the reason for Yuwen Yi's rapid rise to power.
Emperor Taizu was unaware of this matter until Zhao Jing truthfully informed him.
The goal, of course, was to secure the Zhao family's empire, and incidentally, to dig some pits for the two of them.
Zhao Jing did not believe that Yuwen Yi would tell the Eldest Princess the core secret.
It's just what creates cracks.
Even the strongest feelings couldn't withstand Zhao Jing's relentless onslaught.
The founding emperor said calmly:
Whether you can obtain the Bone of Destiny depends entirely on yourself.
"There's one more thing: we absolutely must not tell the Yuwen family that the Destiny Bone has been lost."
"The Zhao family must possess the complete Destiny Bone."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, Ancestor."
The eldest princess agreed without any expression.
She already knew her goal.
Kill Zhao Jing and seize the Heavenly Mandate Bone.
But where did they escape to?
Is it Jiangnan?
……
"We cannot go to Jiangnan."
"Your Highness, where shall we go?"
"Go to Sichuan and Chongqing."
Zhao Jing, inside the carriage, held Bao'er and said.
