Shadow Secret Guard
Prince Mu's Mansion ruled Yuezhou.
It was easy to spread the news. In just two short days, the news of Mu Nihuang recruiting all the heroes in the world for a martial arts competition had spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty with Yuezhou as the center.
Even the neighboring countries received the news.
For example, the Dali Kingdom, which was closest to Yuezhou, the Mongol Empire, which was in the limelight for a time, and the Great Song Kingdom, which had been paying close attention to the movements of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the country that received the news the fastest was still the Great Ming Kingdom.
As soon as the news spread, Zhao Gao had already presented it to Zhu Houzhao.
"Your Majesty…This news was said to have been spread before the imperial edict was received.”
Zhao Gao looked at Zhu Houzhao's eyes that seemed to have flames dancing in them and said softly.
"Bullshit! She's blatantly disobeying the imperial edict!"
Bang!
Zhu Houzhao stood up and slapped the memorial.
Due to the use of true qi, the memorial was embedded several inches into the imperial table.
His shout scared the eunuchs and serving girls around him so much that they knelt down one after another. Zhao Gao also lowered his head.
"Mu Nihuang! Ha, how dare you openly disobey my will! Zhao Gao, send the Embroidered Uniform Guards down and detain Mu Nihuang into the capital!! I want her to find a spouse in prison!”
Zhu Houzhao was like an angry black dragon, his power was terrifying, and no one dared to look at him directly.
Zhao Gao knew that Zhu Houzhao was in a fit of anger, but he still braced himself and said,""Your Majesty, please calm down! At this moment, he still needed to consider. Mu Nihuang had a good reason for the Groom Search Joust. She was using the tiger skin of King Mu. If His Majesty detained her in the capital now, it would probably be used as a pretext.”
Although Zhao Gao had his head lowered, he could still feel Zhu Houzhao's gaze on him. He felt a great pressure, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
After a long time.
Zhu Houzhao sat back down and started to think again.
Mu Nihuang had openly resisted the imperial edict because she did not want to get involved in the struggles of the Imperial Court. Hence, she had chosen to advance in order to retreat, using the martial arts competition to find a spouse.
If he blocked Mu Nihuang's path of retreat, she would no longer have an excuse to use. Even if she did, he could use forceful methods.
However, this time.
It was probably as Zhao Gao had said, he had to consider.
However, Mu Nihuang's actions had undoubtedly made him the laughing stock of the entire world.
The emperor of a country had just conferred the title of consort on her, and she was already recruiting all the heroes in the world to fight for a spouse!
What kind of weak and useless emperor would be treated like this?
If it was the timid and weak Zhu Houzhao from before, he might have swallowed his pride in such a situation.
However, the current Zhu Houzhao would definitely not take another step back.
"You're right."
Zhu Houzhao said coldly to Zhao Gao,"I will consider my actions."”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Gao felt the pressure disappear and heaved a sigh of relief.
If Zhu Houzhao did not listen to his advice and insisted that the Embroidered Uniform Guards arrest him, he would naturally do so.
However, that would undoubtedly be a complete break with the Mu Estate.
Even if he married Mu Nihuang, he would only be hated by the entire Mu Imperial Residence. There would be no benefits at all. That was why he had to endure Zhu Houzhao's anger and remonstrate.
"However, I will not let her off just like that.”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly gave a cold and cruel smile, and his tone revealed a strong killing intent."Tell the world that whoever dares to go to Yuezhou to find a spouse is going against me! Go against Big Ming!"
"I must kill him!" Zhu Houzhao spat out these words from between his teeth, causing the entire Palace of Heavenly Purity to turn cold.
Zhao Gao was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao. After a while, he cupped his hands and said,""This subject obeys the decree!" He slowly took a few steps back, turned around, and left the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
After he left, Zhu Houzhao said in a shocked voice,""Everyone, retreat!"
All the eunuchs and serving girls who were kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe, immediately stood up, bowed, and quietly left the hall, closing the door behind them.
Zhu Houzhao didn't ask them to leave for any other reason.
It was because the system had just sent out a notification!
"Ding dong! [Host's acting progress has increased to 46%!] [The System rewarded the leader of the Shadow Secret Guards, Zhang Han. The System rewarded the Shadow Secret Guards x100!]”
Zhu Houzhao was ecstatic!
Shadow Secret Guard!
This force was different from the one in the original novel, which obeyed Zhao Gao's orders. The Shadow Secret Guards were directly under Ying Zheng's control, and they only listened to Ying Zheng's orders. They were his personal guards. Moreover, the Shadow Secret Guards moved quickly and killed decisively. They were like the Grim Reaper following them like shadows, so they were called: Like maggots attached to bones, like a shadow, like a king in person!
This shows the advantages and disadvantages.
Their leader was Zhang Han, a young general who was highly regarded by Ying Zheng. At the same time, he was also a two-handed swordsman who could fight against the two first-class assassins!
With the arrival of the Shadow Secret Guards and Zhang Han, Zhu Houzhao could be said to have made up for his shortcoming of not being able to mobilize the Six Sword Slaves at will!
It would be a waste for a six-in-one grandmaster to stay in the palace to protect him.
Now that he had the Shadow Secret Guards and Zhang Han, Zhu Houzhao's mobility would be greatly increased, and his hands would be able to extend even further!
Zhu Houzhao, who was originally troubled by Mu Nihuang, was now faintly excited.
"Perhaps, there can be a slight change in the plan!”
Zhu Houzhao looked at the slowly condensing shadow in the hall, and his eyes shone brightly.
