Cai Kun was in a very good mood today.
He had just gone to the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple to discuss the matter of Qin Rushuang's wedding.
This proved that in Qin Xiao's eyes, he was a valuable and useful person.
Even if the Supreme Emperor fell from power, Qin Xiao would definitely still need him.
He was leisurely making his way back, planning to go to a brothel to have a few drinks with some nobles.
Unexpectedly, he ran into some officials blocking the way.
Cai Kun was about to scold these people when he heard the officials saying that someone was committing a crime in the street.
Cai Kun found it amusing.
What kind of place was Xianyang City?
At the foot of the Son of Heaven!
The place where imperial power was most concentrated!
To dare to break the law in Xianyang City, how foolish must this person be?
"Interesting, let this Prime Minister see who this audacious madman is."
Cai Kun lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the moment he saw Qin Xiao, he was completely stunned.
That proudly independent figure!
Those uncanny, chiseled features!
If it wasn't Qin Xiao, who else could it be!
Fear surged into Cai Kun's heart like a tide!
Why would Qin Xiao appear on the street?
And be surrounded by soldiers?
Seeing Cai Kun remain silent, the Black-faced Commandant immediately had his own little scheme in mind.
"The Prime Minister must be testing me. As long as I handle this matter well and catch the Prime Minister's eye, a meteoric rise is just around the corner!"
With this thought in mind.
"Ahem!"
The Black-faced Commandant pretended to cough twice and waved his big hand.
"Men! Kill all these rebellious bandits without mercy!"
Monk Fayuan was still laughing in agreement on the side, his eyes looking at Qin Xiao with mockery.
"In this Xianyang City, my Ten Thousand Buddha Temple is the sky!"
"A bunch of lowly peasants, they should be beaten to death!"
A group of soldiers rushed up and tightly surrounded Qin Xiao!
With fierce faces, the broadswords in their hands flashed with a bone-chilling cold light!
The little beggar was so scared that her small face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with panic.
"Why... why is it like this?"
"Father said that when we encounter trouble, we should report it to the officials, and that the adults in the imperial court are all good people. But why are they together with the bad guys bullying me..."
Her voice choked with sobs, carrying an almost despairing sorrow.
"I'm sorry, Young Master, I've implicated you."
Facing imminent death, the little beggar apologized to Qin Xiao.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao's expression was extremely gloomy!
His body trembled slightly!
His fists were clenched tightly!
This was not fear; this was extreme anger!
The little beggar's words made Qin Xiao's heart throb with pain!
When encountering trouble, report it to the officials...
How much trust was this in the imperial court!
How much trust in him, the Emperor!
These were the subjects who trusted him, Qin Xiao, the most!
But now, the officials of the imperial court had actually teamed up with bad guys to bully the subjects who trusted him the most!
"Cai Kun! Get the hell down here!"
Qin Xiao was completely enraged, his roar resounding through the clouds!
This loud roar caught everyone present off guard, making them cover their ears.
The Black-faced Commandant and the group of soldiers were even more dizzy, falling to their knees, covering their ears, their faces filled with pain.
In the carriage, Cai Kun was caught completely off guard and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
His eyes met Qin Xiao's.
In that instant, Cai Kun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if he were in a freezing hell!
Those eyes were bloodshot and furious, carrying an anger that could destroy everything!
Even in the imperial court, or when Qin Xiao faced Emperor Qinwu, he had never seen such terrifying eyes!
Cai Kun didn't dare to hesitate at all. Without even wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he scrambled and stumbled out of the carriage.
"My Lord, be careful!"
Seeing Cai Kun fall to the ground, the driver stepped forward to help him up.
"Get lost!"
Cai Kun pushed the driver to the ground and scrambled over to the Black-faced Commandant.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Three slaps landed on the Black-faced Commandant's cheeks, directly slapping him into a daze.
After these three slaps, Cai Kun still felt it wasn't enough. He threw another slap, swelling the other half of his face!
Still not satisfied, Cai Kun grabbed the Black-faced Commandant by the collar, swung his arm, and delivered two more kicks to his stomach, kicking the Black-faced Commandant until his eyes rolled back and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth!
"My Lord... what exactly did this subordinate do wrong to incur Your Lordship's displeasure?"
The Black-faced Commandant was confused and puzzled. Even though he was beaten, he didn't dare to resist.
The onlookers stared wide-eyed, completely unable to grasp the situation.
Cai Kun didn't answer them, but instead walked over to Qin Xiao.
Under everyone's shocked gazes.
Thud! He fell to his knees.
"This humble subject did not know of His Majesty's arrival and failed to recognize Mount Tai. I beg His Majesty's forgiveness!"
After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.
This sentence exploded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears!
"His... His Majesty!"
Countless people looked at Qin Xiao with faces full of shock.
They never imagined that this elegant young nobleman in this chaotic world was actually the current Emperor!
The Black-faced Commandant's eyes widened to the point of almost popping out.
"He is the Em... Emperor..."
Even his voice was trembling.
His thighs shook, and unable to stand steady, he stumbled and fell to his knees.
The group of soldiers surrounding Qin Xiao had terrified expressions, their hands trembled, and their weapons clattered to the ground.
What exactly had they done?
They actually dared to point swords and spears at their Emperor!
"We pay our respects to His Majesty!"
It was unknown who spoke first.
Everyone fell to their knees one after another, kowtowing in unison!
Kneeling before Qin Xiao!
Only Qin Xiao stood proudly among everyone present!
Qin Xiao lowered his gaze, looking down at the Black-faced Commandant.
"Why are you kneeling?"
"I still prefer your rebellious and untamed posture from just now."
The Black-faced Commandant was scared out of his wits, his face drained of color, kneeling on the ground and desperately kowtowing.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This humble subject will never dare to do it again. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Blood stained the bluestone bricks red.
Qin Xiao glanced around at the group of soldiers and waved his hand indifferently.
"Men!"
Clatter!
As soon as his voice fell, a group of soldiers behind Cai Kun stepped forward!
"Those who offend Us, kill without mercy!"
Qin Xiao's tone was extremely cold, like a howling winter wind.
He covered the little beggar's eyes with his large hands.
"Children shouldn't look. Close your eyes and cover your ears."
In an instant, all the soldiers wet themselves in fear!
Some of the more timid ones directly collapsed to the ground, wetting their pants!
"No! No! Your Majesty, spare our lives!"
"Spare our lives!"
Blood and slaughter, accompanied by wails, continuously resounded through the clouds!
The group of soldiers had absolutely no power to resist against the truly elite troops.
In less than a moment, these soldiers were slaughtered to the last man, leaving only corpses lying in pools of blood.
Everyone present didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Especially the commoners, whose heads were lowered so low they wished they could bury them in the ground.
But their eyes were filled with excitement.
These soldiers usually bullied men and women, and they had long wanted to tear these scoundrels into a million pieces.
Today, they finally saw this scene!
Inwardly, they were filled with admiration for this Emperor!
Qin Xiao's gaze then fell on the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.
"I heard you say that your Ten Thousand Buddha Temple is the sky of the capital?"
A light sentence, yet it scared all the monks out of their wits!
They trembled all over.
Monk Fayuan knelt on the ground, slapping his own mouth frantically.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
He slapped his mouth until it bled.
"Your Majesty, spare my life. It was this little monk who spoke arrogantly. I beg Your Majesty to spare this little monk's life."
"My master is Fozi. I hope Your Majesty will spare my life for Fozi's sake..."
Cai Kun's eyes darted around, and he bowed as he approached Qin Xiao.
"Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is to be married into Wanfo Temple today. Shouldn't we give them some face?"
"I heard that this Fayuan is Fozi's favorite disciple. If he dies, Fozi will certainly harbor grievances. If that causes discord between the Eldest Princess and her husband..."
Before he could finish his sentence, everyone present understood Cai Kun's implication.
If Qin Xiao killed Fayuan today, Fozi would definitely hold a grudge.
Once Qin Rushuang married over, it might lead to marital disharmony.
Qin Xiao stared at Cai Kun with deep, piercing eyes.
"Do I need you to interrupt when I am handling matters?"
Startled, Cai Kun hastily slapped his own mouth.
"I misspoke. I deserve death..."
Qin Xiao waved his hand, gesturing for the man to get lost.
How could Qin Xiao not know what Cai Kun was talking about?
But he didn't care.
As long as Qin Rushuang married over and he claimed the system reward, nothing else had anything to do with him.
As for whether Qin Rushuang would live a good life, Qin Xiao only wanted to laugh.
Did that have anything to do with him?
"Your Majesty, since our Wanfo Temple has become in-laws with you, we are all family now. Such a joyous occasion should be properly celebrated."
Hearing Cai Kun's words, Monk Fayuan's eyes shifted, and he slowly stood up.
He had already presumed that Qin Xiao wouldn't kill him.
Who didn't know that the current Emperor doted on Qin Rushuang the most, willing to cross mountains of blades and seas of fire for her?
Qin Xiao's eyes turned cold, and killing intent surged.
"Who told you to stand up?"
Monk Fayuan's expression stiffened.
"Your Majesty, we are all family. There is no need to be so serious..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
Slash!
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a miserable shriek, both of his lower legs were severed at the knees!
"Ah! My legs!"
Miserable screams and agonized wails echoed endlessly.
Monk Fayuan looked at his severed legs, so overwhelmed by pain that his face lost all color and his expression twisted!
Qin Xiao flicked his blood-stained longsword and spoke indifferently.
"Guards! Drag these lawless monks to the vegetable market and execute them by death of a thousand cuts!"
"Understood!"
A squad of fierce soldiers marched in and dragged Monk Fayuan away!
The monks were terrified!
They struggled madly one by one, screaming and begging for mercy!
But no one paid them any heed!
Witnessing this scene, Cai Kun stood frozen in place, his brain buzzing.
He couldn't figure out what Qin Xiao was trying to do.
Too many things had exceeded his expectations.
"Does His Majesty not understand that killing Fayuan will incur the hatred of Wanfo Temple? The Eldest Princess won't have a good life after marrying over."
"But His Majesty treats the Eldest Princess exceedingly well; it's impossible for him not to understand this logic."
"Why on earth..."
"Could it be... His Majesty wants to break ties with the Supreme Emperor? To raise an army against Prince Qi?"
Cai Kun stood there, his expression constantly changing.
Before Cai Kun could figure it out, Qin Xiao beckoned to him.
"Cai Kun."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Cai Kun bowed to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao asked casually.
"Have you finished preparing what I asked of you?"
Cai Kun hurriedly cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I have invited the parents and families of Prince Qi's five hundred thousand soldiers. More than half have already arrived in the capital, and the rest are currently on their way."
Qin Xiao nodded, his eyes flashing.
This move was crucial!
If used well, it could kill Prince Qi, Qin Yu, in a single strike!
As for being ruthless, Qin Xiao didn't care.
As an emperor, beneath his feet lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He would never allow anyone to covet his throne!
"You have done well. Once the matter is settled, I will reward you heavily."
Cai Kun was overjoyed.
"Thank you for your holy grace, Your Majesty!"
In his heart, he was even more jubilant.
As for his earlier speculations, they were completely overturned.
He was now certain that Qin Xiao definitely intended to surrender to Prince Qi!
"For the next few days, I just need to serve this ancestor well and wait for Prince Qi to arrive."
Cai Kun feared Qin Xiao from the bottom of his heart.
Only after Qin Xiao abdicated and yielded his position could he stand up straight.
But before he could rejoice for long, a single sentence from Qin Xiao plunged him into hell!
"Oh, right, what is the situation at the Beiliang Military Compound? Tell me about it."

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
