"Don't lie to me! My father was always accompanied by the Nation Master or Master Huang Yang when he went out of the palace. He never worried about his safety in the palace because of the protection of the God-stunning Array. No one could assassinate me in the palace! "
Li Huiyuan scolded, "I'd like to see how you can kill me."
He seemed calm and confident, but his voice began to tremble in the end.
Xu Chongshan raised his right fist and said expressionlessly, "It's easy to kill you. One punch is enough."
Xu Chongshan punched out, breaking through the wind and landing heavily on a Yellow Paper Umbrella.
With a bang, the umbrella sank deeply, but it was not torn.
He Mingchi held the umbrella in one hand and grasped Li Huiyuan with the other, retreating more than ten feet.
A little further back was the inconspicuous little building.
…
…
There were many beasts carved with stone eaves squatting on the palace walls a little further away. After Xu Chongshan's punch, these beasts slowly released a very faint aura.
Xu Chongshan felt the aura. His face turned pale, but he didn't care.
He had been a guard in the Imperial Palace for decades, from the most common guard with a saber to the current Chief Imperial Guard. In terms of understanding the Imperial Palace's formations, there was no second person in the world.
Even Ning Que, who was in charge of the God-stunning Array under the order of Master Yan Se, was not as good as him in this respect.
At this time, he was more alert to He Mingchi who was standing in front of the small building.
"Why are you here?"
He Mingchi didn't answer his question. He frowned and looked at him. He said, "I didn't expect that there was a survivor of the Devil's Doctrine hiding in the palace for so many years."
Li Huiyuan was a little stunned and then said with hatred, "You really are the subordinate of that evil woman!"
Xu Chongshan ignored him and looked at He Mingchi calmly. He said, "These years, you have indeed hidden a lot of cultivation. Unfortunately, you are still no match for me."
"Even if you become the Nation Master of the Tang Empire in the future, you are still no match for me."
He Mingchi looked at him and said, "You are a powerhouse of the Devil's Doctrine. I am no match for you. But there is one thing. Your judgment is wrong, so the one who will die today will be you."
Xu Chongshan suddenly felt that the aura from the beasts on the eaves had suddenly become stronger.
Thinking of how this person appeared in front of the small building in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but think of an unbelievable possibility. He looked at He Mingchi in shock and said, "How dare you come down here! You're actually able to activate the eye of the formation! "
He Mingchi glanced at Li Huiyuan and said with a smile, "This is the privilege His Majesty gave me. As for the Array Eye … I don't have the Array Eye Pestle, but I can activate the Killing Array in the palace."
Xu Chongshan let out a muffled groan and his face suddenly turned pale. He felt that his chest was getting tighter and tighter, and his heart was beating faster and faster. It was so fast that his ribs were about to break and burst out!
He took a deep breath and forcibly resisted the suppression of the God-stunning Array. With a roar, his strong body rushed forward and punched Li Huiyuan, who was next to He Mingchi.
He Mingchi didn't expect that the powerhouse of the Devil's Doctrine could be so powerful under the killing array. His face suddenly turned serious. He quickly held the yellow umbrella in front of him and pulled Li Huiyuan behind him.
Xu Chongshan's right fist, and even his entire body, heavily struck the Yellow Paper Umbrella.
The Yellow Paper Umbrella cracked and the umbrella was broken.
He Mingchi spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell backward and hit Li Huiyuan.
Li Huiyuan cried out in pain. He didn't know how many bones were broken.
Xu Chongshan stood like a mountain and clenched his fist, ready to strike again.
In the dark of the night, there was a soft sound in the imperial garden.
His face instantly turned as white as snow. He held his chest in pain and then fell down.
His heart was broken.
…
…
In the dark of the night, there were broken porcelain everywhere on the floor of the palace. Almost all the eunuchs and palace maids had palm prints or scars on their faces. They also looked frightened and uneasy.
After the treatment of the imperial physician, Li Huiyuan's injury was finally stabilized. He looked at the tight bandages on his naked body and the pale He Mingchi who kept coughing. The lingering fear in his heart turned into anger.
He Mingchi coughed and said, "Your Majesty, we should inform Her Highness immediately."
"Don't disturb my sister."
Li Huiyuan didn't know why he didn't want to see his sister now. Or maybe he didn't dare to see her. Even in such a dangerous situation, he subconsciously wanted to block the news.
He looked at the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall and said coldly, "Whoever dares to talk will be beaten to death!"
The eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Li Huiyuan thought of the previous danger and became angrier. His eyes became a little blood red. His uninjured right hand trembled slightly. Then he slammed the table heavily and said coldly, "The subordinates of these evil women are still unwilling to give up. When the empire is about to fall, they even want to take away my throne!"
He Mingchi said softly, "Your Majesty, please be careful. We need to be careful."
Li Huiyuan scolded angrily, "What do we need to be careful? You and my sister always told me to be patient! You told me to focus on the overall situation! But look at what those people have done! They want to kill me! How can I bear it? "
A cold expression appeared on the face of the young emperor who had just ascended the throne. He stared at He Mingchi's eyes and said, "I don't want to bear it anymore. Kill them all!"
…
…
Zhuge Wuren was waiting for the good news from the palace at home. He was very patient.
In his view, Xu Chongshan had hidden his identity in the palace for so many years and was extremely reliable. As long as he took action, the new emperor, Li Huiyuan, would have no chance to survive.
However, he didn't get the news of the new emperor's sudden death. Instead, several men in black appeared. Zhuge Wuren didn't even have time to beg for mercy before he was killed by these former subordinates.
Then, assassins appeared in the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Taichang Temple.
Chang 'an City was full of rumors and murderous cries. The people were in chaos. Who took advantage of the chaos to set fires? There were inexplicable conflicts and deaths in the crowd. The chaotic situation was getting worse and worse.
The officials on the Empress' side suffered extremely cruel blows and suffered heavy casualties. These officials also had strong servants in their mansions, but how could they stop the cultivators?
The former Grand Secretary's Mansion had long been deserted. Tonight, the front door of the Zeng Mansion became noisy and tense again. The lantern hanging on the wall by the steward had long been knocked down with sticks and was burning under the stone steps. The crowd came out of nowhere and shouted desperately, trying to rush into the mansion.
With a bang, the gate of the Zeng Mansion was finally pushed down by the crowd. No one knew how many people rushed in, beating people and smashing things in sight. The stewards and servants in the mansion were holding weapons, but they were relatively few in number. They were defeated again and again. Several men in black who had just rushed over were killed by a flash of cold light in the night before they had time to do anything.
The steward and servants were injured and bleeding. Gradually, they were disrupted. The crowd rushed to the back of the Zeng Mansion and shouted angrily or excitedly, "Find the demoness's parents and stone them to death!"
In the garden of the back house, Zeng Jing and his wife listened to the shouting from the front yard and looked at the vegetable fields that had long stopped bearing fruit in autumn. They looked at each other in silence and slowly put their hands together.
"Since my daughter's accident, I have retired and no longer cared about the affairs of the court. Even after so many changes, such as the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the Empress's invitation, I never went. I thought I was honest enough and kept a low profile. I didn't expect that the brother and sister in the palace still remembered me."
Zeng Jing looked at his wife and said softly, "I'm sorry to have dragged you down."
Mrs. Zeng said with tears in her eyes, "I have nothing to be afraid of if I can die with you. I just think about how sad our poor daughter will be if she can't see us again."
"If it weren't for that girl, we wouldn't have …" Zeng Jing paused and then sighed, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this. This is probably our fate."
At this moment, the almost crazy mob finally rushed into the back house of the Zeng Mansion. Zeng Jing looked at the bloodstained table legs and stones in their hands. He held his wife in his arms and said nothing.
At this moment, He Mingchi appeared beside the vegetable field with a yellow oiled-paper umbrella under his arm.
He looked at the middle-aged man leading the crowd and frowned slightly.
…
…
The enraged and deranged crowd gradually dispersed.
The back garden of the Zeng Mansion became quiet again.
Zeng Jing and his wife didn't have time to check on the injuries of the stewards and servants. They looked at He Mingchi with many questions.
If it weren't for this person, they would have been killed tonight.
But it was obvious that this person was the culprit of the chaos in Chang 'an tonight. Otherwise, why would the mob and the leader retreat after seeing his eyes?
"I heard that you will become the Nation Master of the Tang Empire," Zeng Jing said.
He Mingchi smiled and said, "I don't think I will have such a chance."
Zeng Jing said in a cold voice, "You did such a bloody thing, so of course you are not qualified."
He Mingchi was talking about opportunities, while he was talking about qualifications. They were expressing different meanings.
"I never said I was a good person."
He Mingchi looked at him and said, "So you don't have to scold me, and you don't have to ask me why I let the Zeng Mansion go tonight. Because … I don't understand it myself."
"You are the birth parents of the Yama Girl. Why can't you die?"
He Mingchi murmured to himself. It seemed that he was really confused, but he couldn't figure out the reason. He shook his head and left the Zeng Mansion.
The crowd left, but the gate of the Zeng Mansion had been broken. It was very unsafe on this chaotic night. What was more troublesome was that someone had lit a fire in the front yard, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
Zeng Jing and his wife, as well as the injured family members, walked out of the mansion one by one. After the horse carriages were set up, they went to the Yanming Lake and hid in their son-in-law's yard for the night.
At this moment, dozens of men in green shirts and pants ran over with short knives in their hands. The leader of the group heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Zeng Jing and his wife were fine.
"Sir, Mr. Qi asked me to take you to the Spring Breeze Pavilion."
