Mu Yuyan approached the two impostors, swept her sword energy, and the Thousand-Face Woman instantly died on the spot.
Firstly, this woman was highly skilled in disguise, with intricate and cunning thods. If she were to be detained for a long ti, there might be a risk of her escaping.
Secondly, it was fortunate that she encountered Master Gu today while praying for blessings.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of tragedy would have unfolded. The response from the Buddhist followers within the Great Jing would have been extrely negative, and the fate of the nation would have been at risk!
There was also the factor of dealing with it quickly after the killing.
"Your Majesty, I, I'm willing to confess everything. Spare my life!"
The fake Liu Yexi, who was only at the Martial Realm, was already frightened in the face of the Sword Immortal.
"Your Majesty!"
At this mont, the real Liu Yexi returned and ca over to inform Mu Yuyan about the situation outside.
"You've done well. Take this person back to the Imperial Announcents Bureau. Interrogate her thoroughly and extract all the information she knows," Mu Yuyan calmly instructed.
Liu Yexi nodded, then smirked, looking at the impostor who had disguised herself as Liu Yexi and escorted her out!
The impostor trembled all over.
The notorious reputation of the Imperial Announcents Bureau in the common folk was well-known.
Going in alive would likely result in being skinned alive. Moreover, she had directly offended the head of the Imperial Announcents Bureau!
...
After dealing with this matter, Mu Yuyan looked back at the cushion beneath the Buddha statue, only to find it empty.
"The deceptive monk... letting them kill the citizens of the Great Jing and wantonly slaughtering the abbots in the temples. I will kill you sooner or later!"
Mu Yuyan's eyes were cold, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.
At this mont, Ao Hanyi walked over and clapped her hands. "So you are the female Emperor of the Great Jing. Nice to et you, nice to et you!"
"Bold! You should say 'Greetings, Your Majesty!'" Shouted a few Imperial Guards outside the door.
"No need for such formality."
Mu Yuyan waved her hand lightly, smiling faintly.
"You are willing to lend a hand to rescue the citizens of the Great Jing, making you a friend of mine. If you encounter any difficulties, you can co to the palace to find ."
"Not hiding it from Your Majesty, I currently have one..."
Ao Hanyi blinked, not knowing how to be polite.
I know what you want to ask, but I'm sorry, except for this question... Mu Yuyan imdiately interrupted her words.
At any ti, she would never betray her husband.
Even if it was to help the Dragon Clan, it had to be with her husband's consent.
"Your Majesty!"
The abbot of the Great Ming Enlightennt Temple knelt down and cried, begging the female Emperor to administer justice for them.
With the abbot killed, they finally saw through the true face of the deceptive monk! Experience more content on empire
For these days, they had served him well, thinking he was a highly respected monk from the Western Regions. At this mont, their hearts were filled with resentnt!
Intense anger and regret!
"Sigh... I will handle this matter. However, the deceptive monk has hidden his whereabouts, and he has reached the Immortal Stage realm. We currently cannot find him."
Mu Yuyan felt a bit of a headache but still comforted, "The monk thanks Your Majesty!"
The abbot rembered sothing and added, "By the way, Your Majesty! The demonic monk ntioned coming to the capital to discuss Buddhism with soone, seemingly to influence them into the Western Regions. If Your Majesty can find this person first, you can naturally trace the demonic monk through them!"
Waiting for soone... Mu Yuyan's phoenix eyes narrowed. Why did it feel like they were talking about her husband?
In the capital, those who could make the Second Disciple of the Western Regions' Buddha hesitant to take action and were waiting here seed to be only a few.
"I understand. Continue to recite Buddhist scriptures properly, don't be assimilated by that demonic monk... Continue to pray for the court. Great Ming Enlightennt Temple remains the sacred temple of the capital."
Mu Yuyan promised.
Upon hearing this, the abbot shed tears and imdiately kowtowed, vowing to manage the temple well and make all the monks in the world loyal only to the Great Jing Dynasty and the female Emperor, setting an example for all Buddhist disciples!
...
At this mont!
General Wuwei's residence.
Wu Fan had already received several reports from his trusted subordinates, anxiously looking in the direction of Great Ming Enlightennt Temple!
According to the agreent, if things were successful, Thousand-Face Woman would set fire to Great Ming Enlightennt Temple, and then quietly co to find him outside the city.
Although the plan seed thorough and there shouldn't be any mistakes...
But until now, there was still no sign of the fire.
Wu Fan was very uneasy!
"Report! General!"
The trusted subordinate who was keeping watch hurried back, and Wu Fan asked eagerly, "How is it, did it succeed?"
"Not... we should escape quickly, General!"
The trusted subordinate urgently reported what he had seen from afar.
Including Thousand-Face Woman's death.
When Liu Yexi, with the Imperial Guards, surrounded Great Ming Enlightennt Temple, Wu Fan knew... this ti, he was completely in the cold!
"General, the Imperial Announcents Bureau is interrogating private soldiers, and we are designated to be sold. Shouldn't we leave the Great Jing now?"
"Why panic!"
Wu Fan took a deep breath, shook his head with a cold expression, and said, "Although this general believes in that Thousand-Face Woman, he also has a backup plan... The people sent out are all trained in secret. They don't know it's my general's residence behind them."
"This general is at least a second-grade official. Even if the emperor suspects, he won't openly confiscate our ho. We just need to keep a low profile for a while, and we're still safe for now!"
"Oh!"
The trusted subordinate breathed a sigh of relief.
"However! We've been too active before the New Year. We must keep a low profile for a while... at least until after the spring exam next year!"
Wu Fan seed to think of sothing, his eyes lit up, and he quickly instructed his trusted subordinate, "These days, you keep an eye on Sun Minister's place..."
"The Minister of War?"
"Yes!"
"General, isn't he not on the sa side as us?"
"Of course not on the sa side. Although I don't know which side he's on, he's definitely not loyal to the Great Jing!"
Wu Fan recalled a face with a small beard, a standard smiling tiger face, and sneered, "Do you think this general has no one in the Six Departnts? But those special tokens from the Imperial Announcents Bureau, Dali Temple, and even the prison... who do you think secretly sent them to ?"
The trusted subordinate clearly didn't know these things, his face looked shocked!
...
Gu Residence!
After reading a scroll, Gu Lan walked out into the courtyard to relax her mind.
Turning her head, she saw the Residence's gate wide open. Old Yang was sitting on the steps in front of the gate, engaged in an intense discussion with soone.
Old Yang's brow was furrowed tightly, showing a worried expression!
Curious, Gu Lan walked over and only then saw many people walking towards the house from a certain direction, looking nervous, mostly won from the capital.
"Old Yang, what's going on?"
Seeing Gu Lan coming out, Old Yang quickly said, "Young Master! Madam has encountered so trouble. I was just about to go in and tell you!"
"What?"
Gu Lan frowned.
Worried, yes, but not to the extent of being at a loss as soon as she heard about trouble. The talisman he gave to his wife had not been burned, indicating that his wife was still safe...
"Tell in detail!"
Old Yang opened his mouth, not knowing where to start for a mont. Several aunts nearby kindly recounted to Gu Lan!
"Young Master Gu, is your wife also going to Great Ming Enlightennt Temple to pray and hasn't co back yet? Oh, you'd better quickly call a few people to check!"
"Sothing big happened at Great Ming Enlightennt Temple today. Even the real and fake female Emperors ca out. We almost got killed by those confusingly disguised soldiers!"
"That so-called eminent monk was just talking nonsense and didn't care at all when soone killed and set fires right under his nose!"
"More than not caring, that demonic monk even killed the abbot of Great Ming Enlightennt Temple... Before the real female Emperor ca out, those fake soldiers also injured several people. Young Master Gu, your wife might be among them!"
"Yes! Better safe than sorry. Anyway, hurry up and go look for her!"
