Crimson Feather Army Camp.

In just half an hour, the entire Crimson Feather Army Centurion changed blood.

When Xie Kui summoned all the soldiers in the camp and announced the incident, all the Crimson Feather Army soldiers looked confused and in disbelief.

Many of the soldiers' interests are inextricably related to Gongsun family.

Some of the corps commanders were inevitably a little more panicked.

However, these soldiers were not given much time to react. Under the instruction of Lin Sheng, Meng Lie directly eliminated the soldiers whose cultivation level was lower than Bone Tempering among the generals.

Some of the resisters were killed on the spot. After nearly a hundred lives were lost, no one dared to act like this again.

I can only obey the arrangements honestly.

However, in half a day, the number of soldiers in the Crimson Feather Army was reduced by more than half.

It has been reduced from more than 3,000 people to about 1,000 people.

In the tent.

"The general has taken care of it according to your instructions. There are basically no idlers in the Crimson Feather Army now."

Meng Lie knelt down on one knee and spoke respectfully.

At this moment, the way he looked at Lin Sheng was obviously more respectful than before.

He had to admit that although Lin Sheng's method was too cruel and bloody, the efficiency was indeed unimaginable. It was much more effective than the various feasible solutions he had thought of along the way.

Of course, if you want to do this, you must have a prerequisite, and that is the strength to overwhelm everything.

Although he already knew before coming that Lin Sheng was extremely powerful and could kill Demon Beast by himself, with such combat power, even he, a warrior of Divine Form peak, might not be able to do it.

But when he saw Lin Sheng take action today, he realized that the future Imperial Son-in-law was far more powerful than him.

At this moment, he also understood why His Majesty chose to let him solve the matter of the Crimson Feather Army.

Gongsun family has been rooted in the court for many years and is quite powerful.

Although it is still far from the royal family, it is not convenient to do it in person because of this level His Majesty.

If Grandmaster masters are sent out, it will inevitably intensify the matter.

It is undoubtedly the most suitable to send the younger generation Imperial Son-in-law to take action.

But when he thought of those centurions who died tragically, he felt dizzy.

After all, things have developed to this point. You don't have to think about it to know that there is no room for relaxation. When the Grand Councilor Gongsun envoy knows the news, he will be furious.

These centurions are all the best among Gongsun family's descendants. Now that they are all dead and wounded all at once, who can remain indifferent!?

He has urgently summoned everything that happened today back to the palace.

I wonder how His Majesty will feel when he knows this?

On the main seat, Lin Sheng's eyes fell on Meng Lie, and he put down the file in his hand.

He didn't know what the latter was thinking at this moment, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

"The efficiency is good. Let Xie Kui collect information about the pirates that appeared in the Near Sea area during this period and determine their location."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Meng Lie was stunned for a moment and then nodded in response.

He didn't expect that before Crimson Feather Army here had finished reorganizing, this Imperial Son-in-law had already set his sights on the pirates.

Although their main purpose of coming here this time is to recover Crimson Feather Army, they also have the task of fighting against pirates.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this person was really acting vigorously and resolutely.

Just when he was about to leave, Lin Sheng suddenly asked again.

"By the way, isn't there a deputy general Gongsun family in the Crimson Feather Army? His name is Gongsun Changhai."

Hearing this, Meng Lie immediately spoke.

"That's true, but Gongsun Changhai took some Crimson Feather Army out to sea to suppress bandits some time ago and has not returned yet."

"Going to sea to suppress bandits?"

Lin Sheng nodded, with a sneer on his face.

The file in his hand records Crimson Feather Army's military expenditures over the years.

It is obviously far beyond the normal loss of the Crimson Feather Army.

Especially in the past few years, there have been many maritime bandit suppression operations. Instead of decreasing, maritime banditry has become more and more common. This situation is obviously wrong.

I'm afraid that suppressing bandits is a lie, but embezzling armaments is real.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly thought it was a pity.

If Gongsun Changhai is in the military camp, it can be solved just right.

The hidden dangers in the Crimson Feather Army have been basically eliminated.

"Okay, let's go down. I want Secluded Cultivation for a few days. If Gongsun Changhai comes back, just let me know."

After shaking his head slightly, Lin Sheng warned him, then waved his hand, signaling Meng Lie to step back.

"Subordinates take orders."

The latter bowed and turned to leave.

After watching him leave, Lin Sheng closed his eyes and fell into practice.

Southern Qi Imperial City.

The backyard of the palace.

Emperor Jing sat cross-legged in the middle, with a golden dragon-shaped shadow faintly emerging behind him. The shadow was lifelike, just like a real dragon, exuding powerful pressure.

As Emperor Jing moved vigorously, the dragon-shaped shadow began to swim around its body.

At the same time, Emperor Jing's skin gradually revealed streaks of golden luster, and tiny golden scales grew.

After a while, as the dragon-shaped shadow changed, it disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Emperor Jing slowly opened his eyes, the breath on his body dissipated, and he returned to normal.

"Come in, there's another urgent report coming from somewhere, but the front line?"

He moved his neck slightly and said calmly.

Outside the yard, Wang Fu walked in quickly and knelt on the ground.

He held a square Jade Token in his hands and replied respectfully.

"Reply to His Majesty, not from the front line, but a message from General Meng Lie."

"Oh? Meng Lie!"

Hearing this, Emperor Jing had a look of surprise on his face, he frowned slightly and his heart tightened.

"Did something happen to Lin Sheng!?"

Meng Lie Expedited summons, obviously something urgent happened.

He was really worried about the danger to Lin Sheng. After all, he was quite satisfied with the future Prince Consort.

Thinking in his mind, he immediately grabbed Jade Token in his hand and pushed hard.

Soon, faint light emitted from Jade Token, and then a series of messages appeared.

[His Majesty, I and others have successfully arrived at the Hai He Valley Crimson Feather Army camp. Everything is safe, but Commander Lin...]

After he glanced at the information on Jade Token, he immediately relaxed a lot, but when he saw the content behind it, his eyes widened.

"I..."

If it weren't for his identity, he might have cursed.

But he soon calmed down again, and when he touched Jade Token with his finger, the content on it disappeared immediately.

"This boy is really..."

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

Although based on the intelligence collected, he knew Lin Sheng's temperament and behavior, and he also had expectations.

But this was nothing more than killing nine Gongsun family centurions as soon as they arrived at the Crimson Feather Army camp. He had never thought about such a feat.

After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand, signaling A'Fu to step back.

Not long after, a thin figure in black robe emerged from the courtyard.

"You suddenly called me here, but what's the matter?"

The hoarse voice of the thin figure sounded.

Emperor Jing nodded.

"Old Dragon I still have to trouble you to keep an eye on this old guy Gongsun Yue during this time."

"Oh?"

Old Dragon had a look of doubt on his old face.

Emperor Jing immediately explained the content of Meng Lie's message.

"This kid's methods are too ruthless. I didn't expect things to develop to this point."

He shook his head slightly, with a bit of helplessness on his face.

On the contrary, after Old Dragon listened, his old face was a little surprised at first, but soon a stiff smile appeared on his face.

"This boy's behavior is indeed a bit unexpected, but it is not a bad thing. He can cut through the mess quickly and avoid too much entanglement."

Emperor Jing sighed lightly.

"Having said that, it's so extreme. I'm worried about what that old guy Gongsun Yue will do, so I have to trouble you Old Dragon."

"Hmph, Gongsun Yue, what does he dare to do!? This time he Gongsun family suffered heavy losses, and he brought it all on himself. Beating him so hard can teach him a lesson."

Old Dragon snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on Emperor Jing midway through.

"Tian Yuan, just like your father, you have always been too gentle. If you were like this son, Gongsun family would not dare to go too far."

Emperor Jing had an awkward look on his face, but he didn't speak.

In terms of seniority, the Old Dragon in front of him is a Imperial Uncle from his grandfather's generation. At the same time, he has watched himself grow up, so it is normal to teach him a lesson.

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on Gongsun family during this period. If any Grandmaster master dares to act rashly, I will stop him."

Seeing that Emperor Jing didn't answer, Old Dragon stopped talking and left a sentence, and the figure disappeared into the yard.

Emperor Jing was sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, seeming to be thinking about something.

Soon another order was sent to Wang Fu.

"A'Fu, according to my instructions, three Imperial Guard captains of guards were transferred from the palace and rushed to Hai He Valley to join Meng Lie and others. All will obey the command of Commander Lin Sheng."

"The villain obeys your orders."

After receiving the order, A'Fu immediately hurried down to make arrangements.

Right here in the palace, Emperor Jing was making some arrangements.

On the other side, at the Privy Council House.

Snap!

There was a crisp sound, and among Study, Gongsun Yue smashed the desk in front of him into pieces.

His expression was extremely ugly, his cheeks were red, and he was obviously filled with anger.

This sudden rage startled the thin Hei He who was standing aside.

In the decades since Gongsun family was born, this was the first time he had seen the head of the family look so angry.

I couldn't help but guess what happened in the letter just sent from Hai He Valley?

"It's too much to bully others... it's too much to bully others!!"

"Do you really think that I, Gongsun family, have no one!? Damn you, how dare you kill nine of my Gongsun family sons and daughters in a row! Destroy my Lineage inheritance, damn..."

Gongsun Yue's voice was extremely cold, and every word was filled with unconcealed murderous intent.

The terrifying murderous aura emitted, shocking Hei He on the side and subconsciously took a few steps back.

In the short words, Hei He understood something at this time, his eyes widened, and his heart was filled with disbelief.

He naturally knows that there are nine outstanding juniors in Lineage among the Crimson Feather Army.

Just hearing this, these nine people seem to have...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear of adding fuel to his grandfather's anger, so he just hid aside and kept silent.

Gongsun Yue Clenched his hands tightly, making a bone crunching sound.

It took him a while to calm down, but the gloomy look on his face was still scary.

"His Majesty, my good His Majesty, you have really done a good job!!"

He murmured in a deep voice, his words full of coldness.

"In that case, don't blame the old minister."

Hai He City, Near Sea.

An unknown island.

The island is densely covered with vegetation, but if you look carefully at the flickering figures on it, you can see that there are actually quite a few people there.

There is a large pier on the coast with several large ships docked.

There are always strong sailors unloading cargo.

Looking at the continuous buildings in the center of the island, it looks like a large town.

In a luxuriously decorated house.

Beautiful music sounded, and a graceful and scantily clad woman was dancing.

The person in charge was a middle-aged man with a strong build and dark skin.

Looking at the faces of these dancers, a look of impatience suddenly appeared.

"Get out of here, everyone."

After shouting and scolding, several dancers retreated hastily as if they were frightened.

"Why is brother so angry?"

In addition to the dark man, there was another person in the hall who spoke softly at this moment.

"Why else! When I think of that kid, I want to go back to the military camp and crush him to ashes."

The swarthy man was none other than Deputy Commander Crimson Feather Army, Gongsun Changhai.

The other person is also a member of Gongsun family, named Gongsun Changyue, who is the cousin of Gongsun Changhai.

"Brother, I don't want to take that kid's life, but after all, he is the current leader of Prince Consort, and he is the new commander of Emperor Jing. We can't take action directly. We should wait until the head of the family replies to the letter before making a decision."

Gongsun Changyue consoled him from the side.

"After all, we can't ruin our Gongsun family's years of arrangements just because of this kid."

"If I hadn't been worried about this, I would have returned to the military camp five days ago and killed that kid on the spot."

Gongsun Changhai said in a deep voice.

Five days have passed since Lin Sheng and others arrived at Camp Crimson Feather Army.

That afternoon he received a secret message from the military camp and knew everything that happened.

If his cousin hadn't stopped him, he would have killed him back then.

Gongsun family is the sexual name of nine descendants, and they are all the best of this generation. Among them, Gongsun Chongfeng is his biological son, and the others are all uncle-nephew relationships with him.

After learning the news of his tragic death, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

Gongsun Changyue was still wanting to say a few words of relief when the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside.

"Eldest Young Master Second Young Master, a message from the head of the family has arrived!"

A servant walked in quickly, holding a communication jade in his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a shadow appear in front of him, and the jade in his hand was already in Gongsun Changhai's hand.

"Finally some news!"

Gongsun Changhai had a look of impatience on his face and immediately used all his strength to send out the jade stone.

Soon, a series of writings appeared on it.

After seeing the above content, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

Then he threw it to Gongsun Changyue and said slowly.

"Second brother, the master's intention is very clear. This time Imperial Capital will leave no one behind!"

Gongsun Changyue After reading the above content, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded.

"In that case, let's get rid of these people, but we can't do it directly. We still need to plan."

"Don't worry, I know this well."
