There were over a hundred assassins in black. After killing the guards on the palace walls, they used their qinggong to quickly make their way to the back of the palace. They seemed to be somewhat unscrupulous and arrogant. They had not sneaked far before they were discovered by the guards in the palace. Therefore, the originally quiet palace immediately became noisy.
"Report! Governor, assassins have infiltrated the palace and are currently being surrounded by the palace guards. The news says that these assassins should be Japanese.”
In the Governor's Mansion of the East Chamber, a spy reported to Cao Zhengchun, the Governor of the East Chamber, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"They are so brazen. It is obviously too fake to be an assassin. Things are not simple. Immediately bring some men to the Empress Dowager's place. If you encounter any suspicious people, kill them without mercy. Be careful not to let anyone collude with you. I'll go to the Emperor's place to take a look!”
Cao Zhengchun's slightly fat face still had an indescribable smile on it. He ordered the scout from the East Chamber and immediately led the men from the East Chamber to the Emperor's bedroom to check on the situation.
The entire palace was bustling with activity. Even the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa and the Divine Constabulary, which were not far from the palace, could sense it.
"Godfather, there are assassins in the palace. It seems that there are quite a number of them. Do you want me to bring some people to take a look?”
In the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, Duan Tianya, one of the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow secret agents, said to the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Buduan.
Zhu Bujue was a middle-aged man who looked very dignified. He looked extremely righteous. At this moment, he stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace. He did not answer Duan Tianya's question.
As the publicly acknowledged number one expert of the Ming Empire, the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu Budian, who had the strength of a grandmaster, was the uncle of the current Emperor and the younger brother of the late Emperor. His reputation in both the court and the martial world was very positive, and he was respected by countless people. The Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa was established to protect the Ming Dynasty's royal family. It was given a death exemption medal by the former emperor. As long as they did not rebel, they could be pardoned. The four secret agents he had set up were the Heaven rank secret agent Duan Tianya, the Earth rank secret agent Guihai Yidao, and the Xuan rank secret agent Shangguan Haitang. As for the remaining Yellow rank secret agent, it was temporarily vacant.
Duan Tianya and the other two had been adopted by Zhu Bujue since they were young, and they treated him like their own children. Now, all of them had extraordinary martial arts skills. Apart from being loyal to the royal family, they also treated Zhu Bujue as their biological father. Besides Haitang, who had second-rate strength, Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao both had first-rate strength.
"They're just a bunch of clowns. Although Cao Zhengchun is a eunuch, he's not an idiot.”After a long while, Zhu Bujue finally spoke. Duan Tianya didn't say anything else after receiving his reply. All along, in his heart, what his foster father said was right. Zhu Bujue didn't like them to refute him.
In the Divine Constabulary, Zhuge Zhengwo, who was known as Divine Marquis Zhuge, said the same thing to the four famous arresters under him. He did not take the assassin who had infiltrated the palace to heart.
Nominally, the Six Fan School was an organization of constables under the Divine Constabulary. When Zhuge Zhengwo established the Divine Constabulary thirty years ago, the Six Fan School had been under the jurisdiction of the Divine Constabulary. In fact, the leader of the Six Fan School was still God-Hunter Liu Jiyan. The Six Fan School was specialized in arresting those Jianghu people who did not abide by the laws of the Ming Empire. It had a similar function to the East Chamber, so the constables under it were not ordinary people. They were all masters of martial arts. Among them, the two great constables and the four famous constables were the most famous.
The two Divine Arresters aside, they were the left and right hands of Liu Jiyan. The four famous arresters were from the Divine Constabulary and had been adopted by Zhuge Zhengwo since they were young. Due to the close relationship between the Divine Constabulary and the Six Fan School, they worked for the Six Fan School. They were Iron Hand, Merciless, Cold-blooded, and Life Chaser. Merciless was a woman with a disabled leg. She was intelligent and good at concealed weapons and Lightness Skills. She played the role of a think tank and was the leader of the four famous arresters. The setting of this book is different from the original, so Ruthless is a woman. The other settings will also be different. Everything will be based on this book, please understand.
In the entire Ming Empire, the structure of the various forces was extremely complicated. It was almost like there was me in you and you in me. In other empires, the imperial court was weak and allowed the people in the martial arts world to be arrogant and could not do anything about it. Only in the Ming Empire, the number of experts belonging to the imperial court was not less than the people in the martial arts world. With the addition of the army, it suppressed the entire martial arts world and did not dare to cause too much trouble.
The hundreds of assassins who entered the palace were all Japanese warriors, and the martial arts they used were very different from those of the Central Plains. Their strength was mostly between third-rate and second-rate, and there was not a single first-rate expert. Therefore, even though they had gained the upper hand at the beginning, they were quickly surrounded and killed by the guards who had rushed over. They were really like a group of clowns who had come to die.
At this moment, a team of more than twenty guards avoided the eyes and ears of others and did not surround the assassin. Instead, they headed towards the back of the palace. When they were not far from the Imperial Academy of Medicine, they were stopped by a team of guards from the East Hall. These were the subordinates of the East Hall who had been ordered by Cao Zhengchun to stay here.
"Stop, the guards are not allowed to enter the back of the palace. Tell me your identity and team, or I will kill you without mercy!”The commander of the East Hall stepped forward with his saber in hand. He stared at the approaching guards and asked with a serious expression.
"Kill them!" However, the guards did not respond to him at all. After closing the distance between them, they let out a loud shout and drew their swords from their waists. They took the lead to attack them.
The guards of the East Military Hall were not just for show. They had been on guard for a long time, so they waved their sabers and won without hesitation. The East Military Hall had the advantage in numbers, but most of them were third-rate masters and a few second-rate masters. There were no first-rate masters in charge. However, there were four first-class masters in this team of disguised guards, and the rest were all second-class masters. Therefore, after a short exchange of blows, the East Hall suffered a lot of casualties and began to lose their resistance.
"Quickly inform the superintendent that there are experts among the enemies who want to barge into the rear palace!”
The commander of the East Military Hall said to one of his subordinates. He himself did not retreat with his second-rate strength. Instead, he bravely went up to meet him, looking as if he was unafraid of death. It was hard to imagine that a dog of the East Military Hall who was usually despised by others would have such a bloody heart.
The battle here happened right next to the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Tian Boguang was also disturbed and discovered the situation immediately. Originally, this had nothing to do with him. He just had to stay in this pharmacy. With his current strength, even if he participated, it would be like sending food to him.
However, a bold idea suddenly sprouted in Tian Boguang's mind. It was a bold and crazy idea. As the saying goes, if one was not ruthless, one would not be able to stand firm. The encounters after transmigrating also caused Tian Boguang's heart to no longer be kind, and began to show signs of darkening. This could be seen from the way he poisoned Heng Shan. At this moment, an evil idea appeared in his heart.
"Motherf * cker, the strong prey on the weak.”
Tian Boguang cheered himself up. With a ruthless expression, he stood up and took out a porcelain bottle from a medicine cabinet in the pharmacy and began to head to the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
