"Beloved consort, quickly help me out. Zhen's Divine Arms Battalion has come to save His Majesty!”Emperor Cheng said to Noble Consort Feng.
Xia Jian held the Shangfang Sword and stood at the entrance of Yangxin Palace Hall, blocking the way of the Transformation Monarch.
"My dear minister, what are you doing?”Transform Monarch Cheng said angrily.
Outside Yangxin Palace Hall, the Divine Arms Battalion had indeed arrived, and Xia Jian's Firearms Battalion seemed to have been held back by the Heaven Tribute Palace Hall.
"Your Majesty, the Divine Arms Battalion doesn't seem to be here to rescue you!”
Xia Jian looked at the Divine Arms Battalion. They were holding their outdated handguns and pointing them at Yangxin Palace Hall. They looked as if they were about to shoot at any disagreement.
Xia Jian didn't dare to be careless when facing a gun, even if it was an outdated gun.
"No? How is that possible?" The Transformation Monarch didn't believe Xia Jian and ran out.
Then, the Divine Arms Battalion fired at him!
If Xia Jian hadn't reacted quickly and pulled the Transformation Monarch back, he would have been killed by the Divine Arms Battalion.
Emperor Cheng could not believe that the Divine Arms Battalion, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, would actually shoot at him!
Xia Jian brought Emperor Cheng Hua back to Yangxin Palace Hall, closed the doors and windows, and moved the pill furnace to block the door.
The marbles were shot out from the handgun and hit the pill furnace, creating a metallic clang.
The Divine Arms Battalion had already surrounded the Yangxin Palace Hall. It was unknown what method Demonic Priest Li Zilong had used to make the Divine Arms Battalion listen to his command.
"Beloved minister, what should we do? This Divine Arms Battalion is actually going to rebel together with Li Zilong. Beloved minister, kill this Demonic Priest for me. I will give you whatever you want!”
Transformation Monarch Cheng was completely panicking. His only trump card was Xia Jian. If Xia Jian betrayed him, then he really had no hope.
"As long as you kill this Demonic Priest, I will give you ten thousand taels of gold and reward you with the title of Marquis. Even if you want to become the chief of the cabinet, I will agree!”
Ten thousand taels of gold? These were attractive to Xia Jian, but what really moved him was to become the chief assistant of the cabinet!
Thinking about it, he was the seal eunuch of the Bureau of Rites, and then the chief assistant of the cabinet. All the memorials in the world had to be checked by Xia Jian. What the Emperor could see was only what Xia Jian had checked!
This kind of power was actually not inferior to the emperor.
Of course, this was only what the emperor said. It was impossible for him to be the chief assistant of the cabinet.
It was even impossible to reward him with a land or a marquis title!
The only thing that could be achieved was the ten thousand taels of gold.
"Minister Xia, as long as you can protect me today, you can choose any condition!”Seeing that the Divine Arms Battalion was about to break through the door, Transformation Monarch Cheng panicked.
Xia Jian bowed to the Transformation Monarch and said,""Your Majesty, I don't need any rewards. To be loyal to Your Majesty is my greatest dream!”
"Your Majesty, don't panic. I'll go out now and capture the Demonic Priest and kill the rebel army for Your Majesty!”
At this moment, the rebel soldiers outside had already smashed open the door. The alchemy furnace fell to the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Xia Jian held the Shangfang Sword in his hand and killed all the rebel soldiers who had rushed in. He unleashed the Disorder Conquering Sword Technique without holding back, and sword will filled the entire Yangxin Palace Hall.
Killing ten people with a single strike!
After killing the ten rebel soldiers, Xia Jian did not even bother to look at them. He turned into a god of death from hell and rushed out.
The smell of blood around Yangxin Palace Hall was getting stronger and stronger, and there were more and more corpses.
The soldiers of the Divine Arms Battalion wanted to shoot Xia Jian, but in this era, the handguns of the Divine Arms Battalion were even more outdated than muskets. Two people could only use one gun. If they couldn't even fire a shot in a minute, how could they pose a threat to Xia Jian?
As long as the Transformation Monarch Cheng hid in Yangxin Palace Hall, Xia Jian would not have to worry about anything.
Charging into the Divine Arms Battalion, Xia Jian was like a wolf in a flock of sheep. He stirred up the rebel army. The Disorder Conquering Sword Technique brought with it sword intent that filled the sky as it slashed across the enemy's neck, sending heads flying one after another.
However, there were too many rebel soldiers in the Divine Arms Battalion. Xia Jian needed to expend his strength attribute to use the Disorder Subduing Formula. As time passed, Xia Jian felt that his strength was gradually running out.
Bang bang bang!
At this moment, another gunshot rang out. More soldiers arrived and surrounded Yangxin Palace Hall.
As the sound of gunfire rang out, the number of rebel soldiers on the Divine Arms Battalion's side began to dwindle at an extremely rapid rate.
Commander Xu Ren had already led Xia Jian's 5,000 musketeers all the way from Zhengyang Gate. After a round of gunfights, the Divine Arms Battalion rebels outside Yangxin Palace Hall either thought they had been killed or surrendered.
The commander of the Divine Arms Battalion was shot to death on the spot by Emperor Cheng!
"Minister, where did this army come from?”The Transformation Monarch pulled Xia Jian's arm and pointed at the five thousand men carrying short-barreled shotguns.
"Your Majesty, these 5,000 soldiers were urgently transferred from the border guards. They were not approved by the Ministry of War.”Xia Jian stood beside the Transformation Monarch, appearing very humble.
At this moment, the Transformation Monarch Cheng's expression had recovered a lot and he had a smile on his face.
With Xia Jian's 5,000 musketeers, the Transformation Monarch felt much more at ease. Even the dragon's might was revealed once again.
"Good, good, good. Beloved minister, you have done a good job protecting the emperor this time. Zhen will definitely reward you well!”Transformation Monarch Cheng patted Xia Jian's shoulder in relief.
At this moment, the 3000 Battalion, one of the three battalions of the Imperial Guards, also arrived at Yangxin Palace Hall. Commander Zhu Yong carried a person who looked like a Taoist priest and came to the front of the Transformation Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I came late to save you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”The commander of the Three Thousand Battalion, Zhu Yong, said.
"Late? You're not late, humph!" Transformation Monarch Cheng snorted angrily.
The 3,000 Battalion was a cavalry unit. No matter what, they shouldn't be slower than Xia Jian's Gun Battalion.
Seeing that the Transformation Monarch was angry, Zhu Yong hurriedly changed the topic and said,""Your Majesty, it was the Demonic Priest's disciple who wanted to do something to Imperial Concubine Ye.”
Upon hearing the words Demonic Priest, the Emperor was furious. If it weren't for Demonic Priest Li Zilong, he wouldn't have been in such a miserable state these days.
The Transformation Monarch snatched the Shangfang Sword from Xia Jian's hand and stabbed it into the Daoist's chest. He violently twisted the sword and the Daoist died from the pain.
Throwing away the Shang Fang Sword in his hand, he snorted heavily and said,"Where is that Demonic Priest Li Zilong now? I want to personally scrape him alive!"
The Transformation Monarch had been locked in the alchemy furnace these days, living a life worse than pigs and dogs. As the emperor of the Great Ming Country, how could he endure such humiliation?
"Your Majesty, the Demonic Priest has gathered five military camps and the two imperial guards of the Divine Arms Battalion.”Zhu Yong said.
At this time, the Transformation Monarch had an incredulous expression on his face. He did not expect that even the five military camps had become the Demonic Priest's rebels.
"Minister Xia, follow me and kill our way into the Hall of Heaven's Tribute!”
