When Chong Zhen saw Yuan Chengzhi kneeling in front of him, he felt a sense of familiarity.""What request do you have?"
"This commoner requests Your Majesty to be the overseer of Ji Liao, and for Yuan Chonghuan's family to be vindicated.”
Hearing this and looking at Yuan Chengzhi's appearance, Chong Zhen finally understood. He pointed at Yuan Chengzhi and said,""And you are?"
"I am Yuan Chonghuan's son."
There was another sigh and Chong Zhen spat out two words,"Yes." "Mister is Master Bai?"”Bai Ziyang nodded.
"Mister, are you willing to work for me and Great Ming?”Chong Zhen ignored Ah-Jiu's attempts to stop him and said this.
Bai Ziyang smiled and shook his head." Imperial power is worthless in the eyes of a scholar. Supreme martial arts are what scholars pursue."”
Being looked down upon like this, Chong Zhen's face revealed anger. He continued,"Since you call yourself a scholar, why are you so obsessed with this 'thing' that can only show off your courage? Where have you been studying?"
Ah-Jiu was sweating profusely. She clearly remembered what the famous Master Bai said in the dark forest. She was afraid that her father would make Master Bai angry and kill him.
"Scholar is naturally studying martial arts? What do you think? Did you forget that it was the useless 'thing' that saved you just now?”Bai Ziyang wasn't annoyed and said with a smile.
"No matter how high your martial arts are, can you defend against an army? Can martial arts rule the world?" Even if his life was in someone else's hands, Chong Zhen still had to explain himself to this 'scholar'.
"Sure! When your martial arts reached a certain level, you could slaughter thousands of troops. Although martial arts could not rule the world, it was enough to mess up the court. For example, I, Scholar, can kill anyone in the Imperial City's courtyard.”
In the end, Bai Ziyang smiled at Chong Zhen, who was trembling all over. It was unknown whether it was from fear or anger, but he could not speak. He turned around and disappeared from the hall in a flash.
…………
A few days later, it was the 18th of March. Hundreds of thousands of peasant uprising soldiers dressed in black and black armor rushed to the capital's city walls like dark clouds covering the sky. Arrows and cannons rained down on the city walls. The Ming Dynasty defenders were in chaos and surrendered without any resistance.
In the city, in the streets and alleys, bandits took the opportunity to cause trouble. The commoners closed their doors and did not leave. Occasionally, they would be outside, but they walked very quickly and hurriedly.
The most luxurious and noisy restaurant was now empty.
Bai Ziyang raised his cup and watched everything.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Empress and a few concubines had already hanged themselves. Chongzhen's clothes were disheveled, and his eyes were unfocused as he sat on the chair.
Ah-Jiu came in front of Chong Zhen and cried,""Imperial Father, the situation is urgent. Quickly leave the palace.”He then instructed a eunuch," Eunuch Wang, serve His Majesty well.”
The eunuch was naturally Wang Chengen. Because he was the last eunuch to stay by Chongzhen's side, he was not famous, but he had also appeared in various historical books of the late Ming Dynasty and was quite famous.
Wang Chengen nodded and agreed. Chongzhen let Ah Jiu escape by himself, but Ah Jiu shook his head and said,""No, I want to stay by Imperial Father's side. If Imperial Father doesn't leave, your son is willing to die with Imperial Father.”
Chong Zhen casually picked up a sword and let out a long sigh,"" Son, why did you have to live in a royal family…" Suddenly, he raised his sword and slashed it down. A white light flashed, and the treasured sword slashed down directly at Ah-Jiu's head. The reluctance in his heart made his sword deviate.
"Ding!" The sword broke. Ah-Jiu didn't understand what was going on before he blacked out.
Bai Ziyang floated down and picked up Ah-Jiu. He said to Chongzhen,""I will take her away from the capital."
Chongzhen no longer had the imposing manner of a superior. He was just like an ordinary father."Thank you!"
Bai Ziyang nodded and left the Imperial City with Ah-Jiu in his arms. He used Swipe to the extreme and brought her out of the city at high speed. He only put her down when they were about a hundred miles away from the capital.
He placed some gold bars and dry rations beside her and gave her a copy of Fleeting Shadows.
Bai Ziyang looked in the direction of the capital and suddenly remembered the order Li Zicheng had given when he attacked the capital with the Sword of the Blue Blood…
Bai Ziyang turned around and returned. He wanted to confirm something.
The next day, when Bai Ziyang arrived in the capital…
At this moment, the capital was already riddled with holes. Li Zicheng's militia continued to slaughter in the city. Although Li Zicheng only allowed them to plunder as they pleased, this scene was no different from a massacre.
The so-called peasant uprising army was mostly ordinary people who were forced by the government to revolt and were forced to not have food. But apart from that, there were also many local ruffians, hooligans, and horse bandits mixed in. Li Zicheng himself was a bandit leader, and his bad habits were immediately triggered when he suddenly entered the prosperous capital of Yanjing.
Bai Ziyang had only left for half a day, but the capital was already in chaos. Burning, killing, looting, and even raping women were not uncommon.
Bai Ziyang's body emitted an endless killing intent as he looked at the militia that resembled mountain bandits and tartars.
Waving his hand, he began to slaughter. He used the [Meridian Sealing Soul Searching] to the extreme. He threw out the Crystal Feather Bone Fan and harvested the lives of the Great Shun Army soldiers one after another. His speed did not slow down as he charged towards the Imperial City.
Most of the Great Shun Army soldiers had fallen to the ground before they could even see the people clearly. When the soldiers in the distance saw that Bai Ziyang was about to form an effective encirclement to kill them, Bai Ziyang had already appeared in their midst like a ghost.
Whoosh! The white light sword ray carried a strong wind as it whistled past. Liu Zongmin was the leader of these people. Blood flowed out of his forehead as he was cut into two by the sword light.
Liu Zongmin's bodyguard trembled violently as he looked at Bai Ziyang in disbelief. In the end, he cried out in shock,"" General…General!"
Bai Ziyang's eyes were devoid of humanity and were incomparably cold. He casually slapped the head of the closest bodyguard.
"Bang!" His entire head was like a watermelon being smashed by a heavy hammer-it exploded with a large amount of red, and his body turned into mud.
Everyone was stunned. Bai Ziyang continued to move forward, waving his fan and sending it spinning. When he retracted his fan, another group of heads rolled down.
Then, Master Bai was covered in blood. When he came to Roaming King, Master Bai had become Master Blood. He said blandly,""You really deserve to die!"
Finally, he picked up the long sword from the ground and stabbed Roaming King Li Zicheng a hundred times. The last sword pierced into his mouth and nailed him to the stone pillar.
After that, he floated away.
Master Bai, the name of the gods and ghosts, came from Jianghu to the temple and spread all over the world.

The second volume was Laughing Proud. No matter how conflicted he was, the new version was still the original novel. Writing about Cao Huachun was also very difficult. Cao Huachun's Jade Blood Sword was badly slandered. Please support me!
