Chapter 96: A Group of Traitors
Without any hesitation, Jiang Mingche directly swung down a sword energy.
The golden sword light surged in the air, and instantly expanded to dozens of feet in length, heading directly towards Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's face changed, and he used all his blood power and martial arts internal force to resist the sword attack.
After seeing how powerful Jiang Mingche was, Cao Cao no longer dared to be careless at all.
Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, any resistance seems futile.
No matter how he resisted, he could not withstand the power of Jiang Mingche's sword.
The sword energy penetrated through Cao Cao's heart, and Cao Cao spat out large mouthfuls of black blood.
"I...I lost..."
A miserable smile appeared on Cao Cao's face. He turned around tremblingly and took a last look at his throne room.
At the beginning, Cao Cao was indeed considered a hero. He cooperated with the Dragon Mercenaries to kill Lu Bu and directly took over the capital of Wei. He was admired by thousands of people.
After experiencing the temptation of power, Cao Cao was no longer satisfied with living in a corner, and attempted to directly annex one-third of the land, or even the entire King's Continent.
In order to realize his inner ambition, Cao Cao made a crazy deal with Xu (Qian Dehao) Fu. Not only did he transform himself into a vampire, he also directly trained a large number of vampire troops.
One wrong step, all wrong. From that time on, there was no turning back for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was cultivating the vampires in the Three-Fourth Land in such a high-profile manner. Even if Jiang Mingche did not come to kill him, one day Cao Cao would be killed directly by the three peace-loving sages of Jixia.
Cao Cao closed his eyes in some pain, and a tear slipped down from the corner of his eye. In order to realize his inner desire, Cao Cao gave up many things. Family, friendship, love. On his deathbed, Cao Cao suddenly felt a little regretful.
If he had not taken this path of no return at the beginning, Wei should have been able to slowly restore its former prosperity under his governance, right?
Having come to this point bearing the infamy of the people of the world, he is still one step behind.
If he is given another half a year, he will successfully replace Xu Fu's position in the blood clan, and then integrate the power of the demon Lu Bu. At that time, he should be able to defeat Jiang Mingche, right?
Perhaps God could no longer tolerate Cao Cao's evil deeds and did not give him this opportunity.
Cao Cao slowly knelt down on the steps, facing the people of the world, with his head lowered deeply, as if he was making his final atonement.
A generation of heroes has come to an end.
"Ding, the host has successfully completed the system task and is distributing rewards..."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting 200 points..."
"System, open the properties panel.".

"I have some friendship with the Three Sages. Since you were once a student of Jixia, I can spare you."
"From now on, I will be the monarch of this Wei capital. Are you willing to be loyal to me?"
After dealing with Cao Cao, Jiang Mingche came to Sima Yi and asked in a cold tone.
After all, Sima Yi was once a talented disciple of the Jixia Academy. He was indebted to the three sages and naturally had to give them some face.
Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang were all Zhuang Zhou's favorite disciples.
Even for Zhuang Zhou's sake, he could not kill Sima Yi today. After all, Sima Yi had never attacked him from beginning to end.
Besides, Sima Yi was very resourceful, so it would be a pity to just kill him like that.
"I am willing to serve the monarch. I will do my best until my death." Sima Yi bowed ninety degrees and began to express his loyalty directly.
Sima Yi suddenly felt somewhat thankful for his own caution.
After seeing Cao Cao being defeated by Jiang Mingche's sword, Sima Yi gave up the idea of taking action.
If he had really attacked Jiang Mingche just now, he would have been a corpse now.
Even for the sake of the three sages, it is not possible. After all, people like Jiang Mingche cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in their eyes.
It didn't matter to him who was the king of Wei. Sima Yi didn't have much affection for Cao Cao.
Sima Yi was suspicious by nature, but Cao Cao was even more cautious than him.
In more than a year since he came to the Wei capital, Sima Yi had never heard a word of truth from Cao Cao.
The reason why he joined Wei Du's camp was just to deal with Zhuge Liang in Yicheng.
Therefore, although he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's tyranny, Sima Yi never advised him once.
Because Cao Cao never stopped attacking Yicheng from beginning to end.
Jiang Mingche possesses such powerful strength that he is undoubtedly more suitable to be the monarch than Cao Cao.
It is not impossible to directly unify the Three Kingdoms and end the war that has lasted for hundreds of years in the Three Kingdoms.
In this world, power is the supreme right. If your own cultivation is strong enough, no one can restrain you.
"Put away those evil thoughts in your mind. If you do anything to betray me, I will kill you with a sword."
After beating Sima Yi again, Jiang Mingche finally came to Lan.
"I gave you a chance last time by the river..."
After glancing at Lan coldly, Jiang Mingche was about to strike him with his sword.
"Regent. Spare his life." Xiahou Dun was frightened by Jiang Mingche's action. He quickly ran to the stairs and blocked Jiang Mingche.
"Why don't you let me kill him?" Jiang Mingche frowned and asked Xiahou Dun in confusion.
"Your Highness... Lan is the spy I told you about, who I planted next to Cao Cao."
"The reason why I was able to successfully lead an army of 100,000 to the capital of Wei is all thanks to Lan."
"He was the one who intercepted the message and didn't tell Cao Cao... Can the Regent spare Lan's life for this?"
Xiahou Dun explained to Jiang Mingche, and then asked cautiously.
He also noticed that there seemed to be some connection between Lan and Jiang Mingche.
After witnessing Jiang Mingche's strength, Xiahou Dun's tone immediately became respectful.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jiang Mingche will definitely be the king of Weidu, and the coronation ceremony will be held directly in the next two days.
From now on, he would be Jiang Mingche's subject and could no longer be on equal terms with Jiang Mingche.
Xiahou Dun had no objection to this.
Regardless of whether Jiang Mingche is suitable to be the king of Wei capital, it is definitely better than Cao Cao's tyranny.
"Is he the spy you placed beside Cao Cao?" After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Jiang Mingche retracted the sword in his hand.
According to Xiahou Dun, Lan could not be killed, as he was a man who always clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments.
"Are you willing to be loyal to me?" After retracting the sword, Jiang Mingche glanced at Lan.
As the number one assassin in the capital of Wei, this guy is quite capable. He is also one of the heroes of the King's Continent, and his future achievements are limitless.
If Lan could be used for his own purposes, Jiang Mingche would naturally be willing.
"Lan is willing to serve the monarch at all costs..." Lan pressed down the baseball cap on his head, knelt on one knee, and expressed his sincerity.
At this time, refusal means death. Lan is a normal person, so he naturally knows what to choose.
Besides, he was just an assassin, and killing anyone was killing. It was the same whether he was with Cao Cao or Jiang Mingche.
"Very good." Jiang Mingche nodded with some satisfaction.
With the assistance of Sima Yi, Lan and Xiahou Dun, his road to governing the country in the Wei capital will become very smooth in the future.
I'm afraid Cao Cao never thought that he had a group of traitors around him...there wasn't even one who was loyal to him.
Jiang Mingche also understood that these two guys, including Xiahou Dun, were definitely not loyal, but that didn’t matter.
His supreme cultivation was his biggest trump card. As long as he was there, these guys couldn't make any waves at all.
"Go and spread the news that Cao Cao is dead and a new king will be established."
"Let the people of Weidu not live in fear all day long. If a civil uprising occurs at this time, no matter who it is, kill them without mercy."
"Those old followers and troops left behind by Cao Cao who are unwilling to surrender will be killed without mercy."
"in addition......."
At this point, Jiang Mingche paused.
"Kill all of Cao Cao's family members. Exterminate all nine clans, leaving no one alive. If you let a member of Cao's family escape, you will be held accountable."
If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. Jiang Mingche still understands this truth.
Although these people from the Cao family could not pose any threat to him at all, there would inevitably be a few traitors.
There are too many mosquitoes, which is also very annoying.
Before Cao Cao came to power, Lu Bu had been in charge of the Wei capital. At that time, Cao Cao was just the legitimate son of a prominent family in the Wei capital.
After Cao Cao came to power, he directly arranged all the people in the Cao family to important positions in the court, which completely consolidated his position in the court.
However, ever since he made a deal with Xu Fu of the vampire clan, Cao Cao hasn't attended the morning court for more than two months.
Jiang Mingche didn't know how many of the former officials were left in Wei Du.
"Kill all nine clans?" After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Xiahou Dun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Jiang Mingche to be so cruel right from the start.
"Is there any problem?" Jiang Mingche asked calmly after looking at Xiahou Dun.
"I'll do it right away..." Xiahou Dun agreed reluctantly and then bowed and left.
Although Jiang Mingche just glanced at him calmly, Xiahou Dun felt a tremendous pressure.
At that moment, it was as if a mountain was pressing down on his head, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Fortunately, Jiang Mingche just glanced at him and then looked away, otherwise he might have really died under Jiang Mingche's pressure...Xiahou Dun was a smart man. Although Jiang Mingche didn't say anything, he also understood what Jiang Mingche meant.
Jiang Mingche was suppressing and warning himself. He was about to ascend the throne, and from now on Jiang Mingche would be the king of Weidu.
He could no longer be on equal terms with Jiang Mingche...
Xiahou Dun took his 100,000 troops away directly. After walking a long way away, Xiahou Dun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that Jiang Mingche, the new monarch, seemed even more difficult to serve than Cao Cao, but things had come to this point and there was no turning back.
No matter what, Jiang Mingche is definitely better than Cao Cao as the king of Wei capital.
"Brother, thank you..." Cai Wenji trotted to Jiang Mingche.
He jumped three feet high and threw himself directly into Jiang Mingche's arms. His little head kept moving in Jiang Mingche's arms, and he spoke in a muffled voice.
Crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks and directly soaked Jiang Mingche's chest.
