Chapter 469 The Storm Rises Again [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

"Where is the person you are talking about?"

"just in front."

In the twilight of the evening, a scary-looking monk wearing a black robe and with half his face covered in ink, walked out of the city with a man in a black robe.

"This place..." The monk frowned and looked around. This place was close to empty mountains and dense forests, and it was quiet. It was already a very remote place. "What is that kid doing here?"

“I don’t know.” The black-robed man shook his head. “I only know that your Skeleton Temple has recently offered a reward for someone from their family. I’ll send you any clues as soon as I get them.”

"If the information is true, you will definitely benefit after I kill him." The monk extended his spiritual sense and searched forward step by step. "But if you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences."

"Humph." The black-robed man responded calmly, "Just don't default on your debt."

"The bounty from our Skeleton Temple..." The monk was halfway through his words when his spiritual sense suddenly detected a young man in Confucian robes deep in the dense forest ahead. His face was vaguely the same as the one in the hunting order issued by the Bone Lord.

"That's him!" The monk immediately flew up and leaped onto a tree branch, grinning evilly, "Boy, prepare to die!"

The young man among the trees turned around and saw Liang Peng.

When Liang Peng saw the ugly monk suddenly jumping out from behind him, there was no surprise in his eyes. He just raised two fingers lightly and pointed downwards. Whoosh——

The monk was using his magical powers, and the black ink instantly covered his entire body, turning into a hard bone armor that covered his body. At the same time, he threw four ink balls downwards, which exploded with a bang, and four black skeletons rushed out at the same time and killed Liang Peng.

In an instant, the devil flames were blazing and rolling over, and Liang Peng's pointing downwards just now also caused a bright light to shine, and a Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams formation diagram appeared, encircling the monk and the four skeletons at the same time.

The black-faced monk immediately realized that something was wrong. He was going to attack the opponent by surprise, so how could the other party have set up a formation under his feet?
He was already prepared!
But the person who sent me the information was also a fellow from the Demonic Sect, and he found me in the Rakshasa Ghost Market. How could he help the Liang family to deceive me?
There are bad guys in the Demon Sect!

This was the last thought that flashed through his mind.

Liang Peng's cultivation was one realm lower than his, but the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation was enough to trap him, and it kept crushing him, trying to slowly kill him. The black-faced monk was still resisting with all his might, but he didn't expect a black shadow to suddenly jump out from the ground and climb onto his body along his ankle.

"Ah..." The black-faced monk suddenly felt that his body was no longer under his control, and he actually took off his bone armor by himself.

Tsk la la——

After the armor disappeared, his body could no longer withstand the crushing of the formation. In an instant, it was burned and crushed, and melted into the forest.

The Black-Faced Monk never understood until his death why the people from the Demon Sect would help outsiders to plot against him.

After he was killed, Liang Peng closed the formation, and the black shadow merged into his shadow again. At the same time, he laughed: "Hey, I cooperated well, right? Otherwise, with your current cultivation level, it would not be so easy to kill a fifth-level demon cultivator."

"You have done a great job." Liang Peng replied, "When I reshape your body, I will help you make it more handsome."

"Face is not important." Ying Zun laughed strangely again.

At this time, the black-robed man outside the forest also came in. When he saw Liang Peng, he bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master."

"You've done a great job these past few days." Liang Peng praised him and threw out a small bag, which should contain a few pure medicinal pills. "Take a rest. I'll let you know if there's another mission."

The man in black robe took the pill and said loudly: "Thank you, young master!"

"Clean up this place and leave no traces." After Liang Peng said this, he turned around and walked back towards Longyuan City.

A voice came from the shadows, "Hasn't everything been going well these past few days? Your Demon-Subduing and Qi-Nourishing Art was about to break through, why did you stop?"

"The people in the Skeleton Temple are not fools. If this happens too often, they will definitely be alert and we will have to change our tactics." Liang Peng said, "It just so happens that my eldest brother will be back tomorrow, and we will have a family reunion."

"Your dead brother who caused trouble in the south?" The shadow said, "If it weren't for him, your official career would have been much smoother, right?" "You can say it's okay for others, but it's not okay for my family." Liang Peng said coldly, "If you disrespect my family again in the future, I will remember it. One word, one inch shorter."

The black shadow was suddenly shocked: "I was wrong, don't do it!"

……

Imperial City, Mountain and River Palace.

The sky was filled with morning glow, which spread through the main gate into the magnificent hall. The ministers bathed in the glow had solemn expressions, and upon closer inspection, they all seemed a little nervous.

Because after a brief period of calm in the capital's imperial court, new changes have taken place today.

That man is back!
Yesterday, the news that the people of Shendu lined the streets to welcome the Left Prime Minister had already spread throughout the court and the country. Everyone knew that Liang Fuguo had been released from prison, and they all had a premonition that the court would be in chaos again.

The last brief confrontation between the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister was interrupted because Liang Fuguo was framed. Now that the tiger is out of the cage, I am afraid that it will not be quiet for a few days before a new round of confrontation will begin.

So far, all of Liang Fuguo's political enemies have fallen, and no one will be able to remain safe after fighting with him.

Achievements can be checked.

And this time he didn't come back alone, he brought his family with him...

"Longxu County is located at the mouth of Nanzhou, and the people are prosperous. Longxu Earl took this as his fief, with 700 households, which can be passed down from generation to generation. It is truly a great favor from your majesty."

In the ceremony of conferring honor upon Liang Yue that is now being carried out, after the official from the Ministry of Rites read out the imperial edict of conferring honor, someone dressed Liang Yue in brocade clothes and jade belts, making him look bright and noble in an instant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Yue bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Emperor Mubei smiled as he sat on the dragon throne. "Longxu Bo cleared out the noble families that oppressed the people in Nanzhou and crushed the conspiracy of the Righteous Fire Cult. He made great contributions. The Crown Prince has already told me. This trip south, it is thanks to you assisting the Crown Prince. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible to do it so perfectly."

When it came to the elimination of the aristocratic families, many of the civil and military officials had gloomy expressions.

The Qingdu family seemed to be far away from the court, but they were not far away from the officials in the court. It was precisely because they had always maintained the transfer of interests to the court that they were able to safely avoid every court inspection and never had any problems.

Until this time, when the Crown Prince sent Liang Yue south with him, all the civil and military officials were unable to help at all.

If it were someone else, and he did something like this that cut off everyone's financial resources, let alone being made an earl, even if he was made a prince, he would be attacked and plotted against to death by the civil and military officials in the future. But there was really no way to deal with a scoundrel like Liang Yue.

On the one hand, he is an immortal official and has a special status in the court; on the other hand, he is about to die, what else can you do to him?
I could only swallow my anger and give in to him.

Just recite it silently in your heart for a few days and it will be fine.

After Liang Yue's awarding ceremony was over, Emperor Mu Bei looked at the civil and military officials on the steps again. Cao Wujiu beside him shouted at the right time: "Any ministers have anything else to report? If you have something to report, please do so. If not..."

"Your Majesty..." A loud and powerful voice was heard again. This voice made His Highness and all the officials frown. What they feared was really coming true.

Liang Fuguo, the left prime minister, stepped out from the front row of the court and said, "I have a memorial to make!"

As he took this step, a series of inhalations were heard behind him.

The sound of Liang Fuguo's memorial was like a notice from the King of Hell. Every time it appeared, someone would go to the underworld.

I thought he would calm down for a while after he was released from prison before making another effort, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't rest at all and just started right away?
Amid the fear of the crowd, Liang Fuguo said loudly: "In the matter of the military garrison in Nanzhou, the Crown Prince and Liang Yue certainly made great contributions. But we cannot only talk about the merits and ignore the faults. I think those who have made mistakes should not be tolerated!"
