The sword is as sharp as the sky, cutting iron like clay.

The effect of this sword also exceeded Liu Qing's own expectations. At this level of force, it had just been able to exert its true power.

Seeing Zhang Jiao's devastated look, Liu Qing joked: "Zhang Jiao, do you recognize this sword?"

Zhang Jue's gaze fell on the red sky, and he saw that the sword's body was red, and the blade was cold and gleaming. Because the iron he had just seen was as sharp as clay, he couldn't help but think of an ancient saying, so he recited:

"There is an immortal in Nanshan who bestows magical iron.

Forged swords are like flaming blades of frost and snow.

Colorful beads reflect Jiuhua jade,

A three-foot sword can achieve unparalleled merit.

This is the sword that Emperor Gaozu used to slay the White Snake, and it is also the sword that made great achievements for Emperor Gaozu and created the Yan Han Dynasty. Why is it in your hands?"

Zhang Jiao still has a sharp eye and recognized him at a glance.

Liu Qing took the sword back and examined it carefully. He felt that the more he examined it, the more beautiful it became. He said seriously: "The sword of Gaozu will naturally be passed down to the descendants of Gaozu!"

Zhang Jiao lowered his head. He had no doubt about Liu Qing's background. He was indeed a member of the Han clan. Now that he thought about the defeat of the Yellow Turban, everything seemed normal.

Even the sword of Gaozu, which has been missing for hundreds of years, belongs to him. Is this God's will?

"Zhang Jiao's defeat is God's will!" Zhang Jiao said.

"The Yellow Turbans attempted to change the world and overturn the Han Dynasty, which caused the people in various states to be displaced and their lives devastated. Today I will kill you with the sword of the great ancestor. What else do you have to say!"

As soon as Liu Qing said the word "Zhan", Zhang Ning immediately drew his sword and faced him, and the yellow scarf warrior behind him also took a step forward with a "swish" sound.

It seems like you still don’t want to accept your fate?

Liu Qing immediately waved his hand, and two teams of fully armed cavalry walked out from behind the slopes on both sides of the official road.

Zhang Ning turned around and saw that the cavalry was covered in full-body armor, and even the horses were well-defended. The most eye-catching thing was not how sharp their weapons were, but the blood on their bodies, dark red blood, from top to bottom.

, it’s like you just finished a bloody fight and didn’t have time to clean up.

With the appearance of the armored blood knight, Zhang Jiao finally showed a hint of frustration. At this point in his journey, he knew in his heart that it was over, and his last thought of fighting was also given up.

"Do you know whose blood the blood on their bodies belongs to?" Liu Qing asked.

Zhang Jiao is not stupid, of course he knows that this is the blood of Zhang Liang's cavalry.

Zhang Jiao did not answer Liu Qing, but said to Zhang Ning: "Ning'er, today my father and daughter are at the end of their rope. Don't forget what I said to you. Only by living can you have hope and change."

Now that we have come to this point, Zhang Ning doesn't understand why his father is still saying such things.

Is it still possible to live?

Zhang Jiao held a nine-section staff in his hand, walked a few steps forward, and said to Liu Qing: "There is a big chaos today, and all the sins are attributed to Jiao alone. From the day of the incident, I knew that there was no way to escape."

Liu Qing looked at Zhang Jiao, what is this?

repent?

"Don't you think it's too late to say this now?"

"It's not too late, listen to what I have to say, Zhang Jiao is willing to bend his neck to be killed!"

Liu Qing heard this and thought that if he could spend less money and spend more time, that would be a must.

Zhang Jiao looked back at Zhang Ning, as if telling her to listen carefully.

"Taiping Dao was created for a peaceful world, where there was no oppression and exploitation, no hunger, cold, disease, fraud or theft, and people were free and happy. However, in today's world, the sky is dim and the people's livelihood is in ruins. After walking for more than ten years, I can see the temples above

, the eunuchs and their relatives, deceived each other, and fought for power. Between the counties and counties, the clans colluded with the officials, and the powerful annexed the land. In addition, there were years of famine, and the people died in each other's bed, and the people fought for food, resulting in a miserable life. "

Liu Qing listened to him quietly.

"In the past, the palace master presented the "Taiping Sutra" to Emperor Shun, hoping that the emperor would establish peace, lead the people with good ways, and assist the Han Dynasty with the Way of Taiping. Although I shouted to replace the sky with yellow sky, it can be said that the yellow scarf will cause inflammation.

Han Dynasty? The imperial court accused me of treason, but how can I claim to be an emperor?"

It is difficult for Liu Qing to answer these two questions. There seems to be a little bit of truth. People have judged you as a treason. Why do you call yourself a general? Isn't it nice to call yourself king and emperor?

But even so, this cannot whitewash the sins caused by Zhang Jiao.

"Jiao has been searching for a way to save the world for more than ten years, but the world is getting worse and worse. Jiao's identity is like walking on mud, it is insignificant and cannot change anything." Zhang Jiao said and glanced at Zhang Ning.

At this time, Liu Qing suddenly took over the words, "So you changed your path and began to collude with powerful families and even eunuchs in the palace."

Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning were both startled and looked at Liu Qing.

Do you even know this? Zhang Jiao was shocked.

Just like Zhang Ning, my father connected with powerful and prominent families and eunuchs in the palace? Such a thing is unheard of.

"The nobles have repeatedly suffered from the scourge of party imprisonment, and scholars are often persecuted and suffer unspeakably. Only by causing chaos in the world can the troubles of party imprisonment be ended. So you and the nobles each took what they needed and raised armies everywhere, and the powerful nobles all acquiesced.

, do not suppress you, so that you can become a prairie fire."

"Young Master is smart! Once the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, the Party's shackles were lifted. The imperial court ordered the localities to recruit troops on their own, which greatly increased the power of counties and counties. If they then connect with local lords, the consequences need not be explained clearly."

The consequence was the rise of localities and the formation of separatist regimes. The administration of the Eastern Han Dynasty originally focused on counties but not on states. The governors could only supervise officials, while the prefects of a county were actual local officials. Now that the Yellow Turbans have the right to recruit troops on their own, there is no doubt that the situation will

Make it bigger.

"It's a pity that the nobles cherish their reputation too much and are unwilling to go further. They just want me to be the sword that loosens the shackles of the party and an excuse to expand their power, and then push all the stigma on Kakuzu. It's a pity that they also underestimate me.

They didn't know that there were many Taiping Taoists among the eunuchs."

That's why Lu Zhi was born. After Dong Zhuo's defeat, the rabbit bit him when he was anxious. Zhang Jiao was originally a double-edged sword.

"So you instigated the eunuchs, framed Lu Zhi, and forced Dong Zhuo. Did you know that from the moment you got involved in the whirlpool of eunuchs and scholars, you were already on a dead end. I estimate that your final value to them is you.

It's a great achievement to take the head of a thief from his neck, but it's a pity that they don't have such an opportunity." Liu Qing said lightly.

Zhang Jiao suddenly laughed. What he did was deeply buried in his heart. Those who knew it talked about it with several people. Even his brother Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang and his daughter Zhang Ning did not know about this collusion.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him could see these things so clearly, even more deeply than himself, the person in the game.

After Zhang Ning heard these words, she couldn't believe that there were so many secrets hidden behind her father. She already felt that the father in front of her was a stranger. No wonder her father would say that she was deviant.

"I carry Gaozu's snake-cutting sword,

The eyes are like a torch and the heart is like a mirror,

Along the way, I got the yellow scarf head,

He can kill the three gods, heaven and earth, with his hands.

Compared to Jiao, Young Master is more like this person who changed the world." Zhang Jiao said.

"When a person is about to die, his words are good. Everyone in the world doesn't know that General Tiangong is good at poetry." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Although I don't believe this, I like to hear it," Liu Qing said.

"I have something to ask of you."

"If you are begging for mercy, don't waste your breath."
