Tonight's Big Event Has Succeeded
When the fifth hour arrived, a bright moon had already slowly climbed up the treetops.
Ye Gucheng and his maids did not stay on the roof of the Di 'an Gate City for long.
Whoosh!
A figure descended from the sky, his toes lightly tapping on the eaves of the city tower, and his entire person suddenly floated in the air.
As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere in the hall was instantly ignited.
Ximen Chuixue!
These four words immediately appeared in everyone's hearts.
The originally noisy environment instantly quieted down.
The full moon was like a mirror!
Under the moonlight, the two of them were dressed in snow-white clothes that were spotless, but they gave off two completely different auras.
Ye Gucheng's appearance had a kind of immortal aura, which gave people a strange feeling. As for Ximen Chuixue, he did not seem like a person. He did not seem like a top-notch expert. Instead, he seemed like a sharp sword that could pierce through the heavens.
Therefore, it was self-evident who was weaker and stronger based on aura alone.
Under the moonlight, Ye Gucheng's face was as pale as a sheet.
Ximen Chuixue couldn't help but frown.
It seemed that the rumor about Ye Gucheng being plotted against by the Tang Sect was true. Was he really injured?!
If that was really the case, wouldn't he have won unfairly?!
Ximen Chuixue was a pure person, a pure swordsman. Although more than a hundred people had died under his sword, he always needed a reason to kill.
If Ye Gucheng was really injured in today's battle, then Ximen Chuixue would not have pulled out his sword.
At this moment, countless experts were already occupying the city towers surrounding the Earth Peace Sect.
Tonight was not just a battle between the two of them, but also a grand occasion for the entire Ming Dynasty.
...
Outside the royal study.
Zhu Honghuan stood outside the great hall with his hands behind his back. His eyes seemed to be able to see through the layers of barriers in the palace and see the battle between the two Celestial Being Realm experts on the city tower.
Moonlight shone outside the hall, as if it was draped in a thin veil.
"It's starting." Zhu Honghuan said softly.
Wei Zongxian, who was standing with him, also stood with his hands behind his back and said meaningfully,"Yes, it has begun."
As soon as Wei Zongxian finished speaking, a commotion suddenly came from afar.
Zhu Honghuan did not reveal a surprised expression, while Yu Huatian, who was not far away, was dumbfounded.
After a while, the noise got closer and closer. There were even the sounds of weapons colliding and the screams of guards.
"Who is so bold as to barge into the palace in the middle of the night?! Ah..."
Screams of pain were heard continuously, and the chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Yu Huatian finally reacted.
F * ck, someone wanted to take the opportunity to launch a rebellion!!!
With a tap of his toes, he pounced towards Zhu Honghuan and whispered,""Your Majesty, quickly follow me."
However, Wei Zongxian, who had always been harmless, suddenly exploded and struck Yu Huatian with his palm.
Yu Huatian did not expect this old dog to suddenly attack him. He could not dodge in time and could only take the blow head-on.
However, he never expected that Wei Zongxian's internal strength was so rich that he could not compare to it.
Therefore, he was sent flying by Wei Zongxian's palm.
Bang!
Yu Huatian slammed into a pillar outside the hall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He knelt on the ground and raised his head with difficulty. He looked at Wei Zongxian with a face full of hatred and growled,"Advanced grandmaster realm? Wei Zongxian, you old dog, you've hidden yourself well.”
Wei Zongxian wiped his hands with a handkerchief and sneered,""If I didn't hide it well, I would have been eaten alive by you wolf cubs.”
"Your Majesty, leave quickly. I'll hold Wei Zongxian back. This old dog wants to kill the emperor…" Yu Huatian shouted at Zhu Honghuan.
Then, he gritted his teeth and pounced on Wei Zongxian.
Wei Zongxian was unmoved. He dodged Yu Huatian's attack lightly, then reached out and grabbed his throat.
"Do you think His Majesty can escape?" he asked with a faint smile.!”
At this moment, Zhu Honghuan, who had been watching coldly from the side, finally spoke. He looked at Wei Zongxian and shook his head."You actually managed to fool even me, Wei Zongxian. You hid it so well!!! But I don't understand. You've already reached the peak of your life. Why do you still want to participate in the rebellion? What benefits did Zhu Zhang, the son of the Southern King, give you?! You're already a pen-wielding eunuch of the Bureau of Rites, and among all the eunuchs in the world, who can have a higher status than you?!”
This was something that Zhu Honghuan could not understand.
What was Wei Zongxian's reason for joining the rebellion?!
This was a great crime that could kill nine generations!!
He had already achieved the position that all eunuchs in the world dreamed of. What else did he want?!
Money? A woman? Cough cough, he couldn't enjoy a woman!
Power?
Status?
Therefore, Zhu Honghuan really didn't expect that this old dog, which usually looked very docile, was actually a traitor, a poisonous snake that would bite back at its master at any time.
"The previous emperor treated you as his trusted aide, and I treated you well. I really can't understand why you want to get involved in this mess…" Zhu Honghuan shook his head.
At the mention of the former emperor, Wei Zongxian finally revealed a trace of guilt.
However, it was only guilt. Soon, this trace of guilt was replaced by resentment.
Before he could answer, a voice came from outside the palace,""Because I can give him monstrous power and let him control the Ming Dynasty for me. Your Majesty, can you give him all this? Can you give it to him?" As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers wearing the armor of the soldiers of the three battalions barged in under the lead of Zhu Zhang, the son of the Southern King.
Zhu Zhang's face was filled with satisfaction.
He never expected that tonight's plan would go so smoothly.
He was holding a golden medal bestowed by the emperor, yet he was able to move freely in the palace. He was only discovered when he approached the royal study.
But tonight, all of the Imperial Army had been transferred to maintain law and order. There were only a dozen or so Imperial Army soldiers outside the royal study, and they were no match for Zhu Zhang.
Therefore, he barged in with his men.
Upon seeing Zhu Honghuan, Zhu Zhang's heart that had been hanging in his throat finally returned to his stomach.
The little Emperor was already an ordinary person.
Tonight's big event had succeeded!
