Chapter 849: Chapter 108: Heavenly Strategy General Enters the Palace to Kill!_4

"You killed my grandson, between us it’s tit for tat."

Li Guanyi said: "You are mistaken."

He thrust his long spear forward.

The sound of steel piercing flesh.

The blade of his war spear pierced through Ji Yunqing’s throat, coming out from the back.

The old man’s voice ceased.

He is truly a strategist of the aristocratic family, even surpassing Wen Lingjun in his adeptness at strategy and grasping the trend, but perhaps he stayed at a high position for too long, failing to recognize the true nature of the heroes of the world.

Ji Yunqing’s gaze was fixed on Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi pulled out the long spear, the spear’s edge tainted with a trace of blood, carrying the Dragon Map Sword at his waist. He seemed to have grown in that instant, his voice calm, with a hint of detachment:

"As Marquis, I command the world’s army, I don’t need to decipher trends."

"I am the trend."

He turned his warhorse around, and Ji Yunqing, clutching his throat in unwillingness, knelt to the ground. In his final, blurred vision, dressed in heavy armor, war robe, with a golden thread hair crown tying his hair, Li Guanyi casually tossed, threw the spear back to Ling Pingyang’s hand.

A surge of Sword Qi flew towards him, then pain in the neck.

A cunning schemer of the royal family, now closed his eyes.

No intellectual battle, no dispute over trends, no familiar rules, just one spear and one sword!

Outside this palace chamber were the Ti Qi Spears of the Qilin Army Heavy Cavalry, with the arriving imperial guard. The imperial guard leaders’ complexion changed drastically, and many from the royal family also arrived, each with a shifting expression, yet faintly pleased.

’Li Guanyi, finally fell into the trap.’

’He shouldn’t harm Ji Yunqing.’

’Hahaha, thus he is disgraced!’

But these royals’ faces turned pale in the next moment, for when Li Guanyi rode out on horseback, his war robe was stained with blood, his left hand holding the reins, his right hand gripping a severed, white-haired head.

Li Guanyi raised his hand and threw Ji Yunqing’s head down, rolling on the ground.

"An assassin tried to kill this Marquis today."

"All from the royal family, twenty-four assassins, gather twenty-four people."

A royal family man colluding with Ji Yunqing roared in great anger: "Marquis Qin Wu, do not—"

Clang!!!

A bowstring sound, a scream.

The man’s shoulder was directly pierced through, and Li Guanyi held an ancient, simple war bow in his hand. The war robe billowed, this youth who rode for the people holding the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow, raised a hand and threw out a token, the token dull as gold, with two large characters on it.

[Heavenly Strategy]!

Heavenly Strategy General, commanding the world’s army.

Li Guanyi, with five hundred heavily armored cavalry behind him, exuded a murderous air, cold and indifferent. Li Guanyi held the reins, the warhorse moved forward unhurriedly, that mountain-collapsing momentum finally caused the royal family’s faces to turn ashen, Li Guanyi said:

"Imperial guard troops five thousand, all obey this Marquis’ orders."

"Capture this person for me, if they are not brought out, then this Marquis will personally take twenty-four heads."

The imperial guard leaders’ faces turned white, they could only bow and agree.

Li Guanyi held his sword, looking into the distance, the Qilin Army indifferently marched forward, as he passed by those royal elders, the young man’s voice was calm: "Since you want to call me a powerful minister."

"Then why should I not fulfill your wish?"

Those elders’ expressions froze, they finally realized the difference between someone with power and someone with strength, Li Guanyi rode his horse away slowly, answering:

"As you wish, Li Guanyi is now, a powerful minister."

He clasped the wooden sword at his waist.

"Today’s matter, I will personally report to the Great Emperor."

"Prepare your heads, everyone."

The warhorse’s pace paused slightly, someone rode towards him from the front.

It was Jiang Wanxiang.

Li Guanyi reined in his warhorse, Jiang Wanxiang looked at Li Guanyi, and laughed heartily:

"The autumn hunt hasn’t started yet, why is the Heavenly Strategy General in such a hurry?"

Li Guanyi looked at Jiang Wanxiang and answered:

"The autumn hunt, hasn’t it already begun?"

Tianqi 11th year, autumn, the Heavenly Strategy General opened his household as the equivalent of three ministers and entered the palace, killing two royals, riding out to enjoy the flowers, and encountered Emperor Ying.

The Emperor said — ’The autumn hunt has not started, why are you in such haste?’

The General replied — ’It has begun.’

There was still half a month until the Red Emperor’s traditional autumn hunt, but later generations only marked this day, the dialogue outside the palace gates between the blood-stained Marquis Qin Wu and Emperor Ying, as the beginning of this event.

Sword Madman emerged in the Martial World, Marquis Qin Wu was ambushed, leading five hundred heavy cavalry into the palace to kill.

These three events were regarded as the beginning of the end of this era.

On that night, Marquis Qin Wu entered the Imperial Palace to ’plead guilty.’

On the second day, as many as twenty-two heads of high-ranking aristocratic and royal family members fell, respectfully delivered to the Qin Wu Hou Mansion.

On the third day, the Great Emperor of Central State Ji Zichang decreed —

[The autumn hunt begins].
