Chapter 43: Rebellious Officials and Thieves, Everyone Has the Right to Kill Them
The speed of the sword light was very fast.
It stopped almost instantly.
"Your Majesty, be careful…" Wang Haocang, who had been severely injured, suddenly jumped up and pounced on Zhu Honghuan.
However, just as he stood in front of Zhu Honghuan, the flying rainbow had already arrived.
Puchi!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was particularly ear-piercing in the night.
Zhu Honghuan's face finally revealed a trace of anger.
Even now, Ye Gucheng was still so stubborn and wanted to kill him?!
Lu Xiaofeng reacted quickly and caught Wang Haocang, who was protecting the spirit beast with all his might.
Zhu Honghuan looked at Wang Haocang, who was covered in blood. He shook his head and said,""Although his sword came with great momentum, I was able to fight with him for so long. How can he kill me with one sword?! Why are you doing this?"
Wang Haocang was already severely injured. Now that he had been struck by the sword, he was only left with half a life.
With blood in his mouth, he forced out a smile." I am the commander of the Imperial Army and have the heavy responsibility of protecting Your Majesty. I have failed in my duty by putting Your Majesty in danger previously. If I let the rebels hurt Your Majesty now, I will die a hundred times to atone for my sins!!!”
Although his voice was soft, it was sonorous and powerful!!!
Zhu Honghuan stopped talking and looked up at Ye Gucheng.
"City lord Ye, zhen really doesn't know why you are so stubborn about killing the emperor. Ever since zhen ascended the throne, zhen has been diligent and has been working hard on state affairs every day. Although the Ming Dynasty is not flourishing under my management, the people are rich and healthy. It is obvious that they live and work in peace. Even for martial artists like you, I will do my best to tolerate you…The ancients said,"A chivalrous man uses martial arts to violate the ban, but I have never thought of suppressing and slaughtering people in the martial world. You are forcing me to raise my butcher's knife…"
Not only were there people from the imperial court present, but there were also martial arts experts standing in the distance.
Especially Ximen Chuixue.
To be called the Sword God by the martial world, wasn't it an undeserved reputation?!
Although Ye Gucheng could not kill him now, he could still kill his way out of the encirclement of the Imperial Army.
Zhu Honghuan's words were actually meant for those martial arts experts to hear.
If you don't cooperate with the Imperial Court to keep Ye Gucheng here today, then you will have to wait for the Imperial Court's revenge!!!
You guys are experts indeed, coming and going without a trace, but there will always be disciples and grand-disciples, right? There must be friends and family!
How could they be as powerful as you and survive the encirclement of the imperial court's army?!
At this moment, Liu Xi, who had just found the imperial physician to treat Yu Huatian's injuries, said sinisterly,"These Jianghu people have been committing crimes for a long time. The people of my Ming Dynasty have suffered greatly from them. Your Majesty, please issue a decree to eliminate these rebels who are not willing to accept the king's transformation!!!”
Then, thousands of imperial guards shouted in unison," Your Majesty, please issue a decree to exterminate the rebels!!!”His voice shook the sky and his killing intent surged!
Zhu Honghuan remained unmoved and continued to look at Ye Gucheng.
"I can't understand it no matter how hard I think about it. What conditions did that trash Zhu Zhang give you to actually make the dignified White Cloud City Lord serve him? That old dog Wei Zongxian did it for power, but what about you?!”
" Your Majesty, please spare me! It was him! It was Ye Gucheng who came to me! He said he wanted to kill the Emperor and help me become the Emperor! I didn't come to him! He was the one who instigated me to rebel! Please spare me! Please spare me!" Not far away, Zhu Zhang was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
Zhu Honghuan frowned.
If what Zhu Zhang said was true, then this matter was strange.
Previously, when he asked Ye Gucheng,'You are a beautiful woman, but you are a traitor', Ye Gucheng's answer was unbelievable. He said,' I was entrusted by someone, and I was loyal to someone!'
Zhu Honghuan thought it was entrusted by Zhu Zhang or King Nan.
But now, it was obvious that it was not the case.
"Sigh…" At this moment, Ye Gucheng suddenly sighed and said,""The winner takes all. Today, I have lost. However, little emperor, there is still a long way to go…"
With that, he turned around and left, as if the thousands of Imperial Army soldiers surrounding him were nothing.
Sure enough, Ye Gucheng lightly tapped the ground with his toes and his entire body flew into the air.
In an instant, he arrived at the wall not far away. Then, he jumped and appeared on the roof in the distance in the next second.
His movements were extremely fast, but very agile.
" Hmph, can you leave?!" Zhu Honghuan snorted coldly.
Even though he had admired the character 'Ye Gucheng' when he read novels in his previous life, he had never seen such a character before. However, although he admired him, Ye Gucheng was determined to kill him today. If he let him go just like that, he might come back again in the future.
What should he do then?
Therefore, he had to nip the danger in the bud.
Zhu Honghuan had always been extremely cautious when it came to matters that involved his life.
Therefore, he raised his sword and chased after her.
At this moment, a few figures suddenly blocked Ye Gucheng's path.
"Sigh... City lord Ye, now that things have come to this, please surrender!!!”In the darkness, an old voice sounded.
Another burly man stood not far away and looked at Ye Gucheng warily.
It was not just these two people.
Ye Gucheng was surrounded by several masters.
These people's realms were high and low, but the lowest realm was at the early-stage martial grandmaster realm.
So even if they couldn't beat Ye Gucheng, they could still stall him with so many people.
Ye Gucheng frowned and asked coldly,""None of you are from the Imperial Court, so why are you blocking my path?!”
"Haha…" "You want to leave just because you've caused such a huge disaster?" A voice sneered. At that time, if the Imperial Court really vented their anger on us, wouldn't we suffer a disaster? So city lord Ye, you should stay.”
"Everyone has the right to kill traitors!!!”Another person also spoke.
At this moment, Zhu Honghuan also caught up.
Seeing that Ye Gucheng was stopped, he couldn't help but feel happy.
It seemed that his words had worked.
At this moment, the other experts of the imperial court also rushed over and surrounded Ye Gucheng.
Zhu Honghuan stepped out of the crowd and looked at Ye Gucheng,""Ye Gucheng, why don't you surrender now? What the chivalrous man said just now was right. Everyone had the right to kill traitors!!!”
