Chapter 1037: Sudden Turn of Events

Chapter 1037

Overnight, three thousand Fish Dragon Guards were massacred, not leaving a single survivor.

Three thousand lives, like a pebble cast into the vast sea, failed to stir even the slightest ripple. The official announcement claimed the eradication of a band of mountain bandits and made no impact on the present-day Chang'an City.

The truth was known to only a few, and the words shouted by the Fish Dragon Guards before their death also reached the ears of Li Xingzai.

"First kill the corrupt officials, then kill the inept emperor"

Li Xingzai felt some distress in his heart. He had just sat on this throne for a few days, his seat not even warm yet, and already he was being called an inept emperor.

He pursued this throne not for power, but with genuine intentions to accomplish some deeds. To continue the legacy of his ancestors and bring eternal peace. Yet, before he had even secured his reign firmly, he was being criticized as an inept emperor.
