Time rewound to half an hour ago.
"What did you say? Zhou Bao has arrived?"
Outside the palace gate, Elder Chen, who was about to leave, got the news as soon as Zhou Bao entered the palace. His relaxed expression suddenly turned ugly, as if he had bitten a fly while eating delicacies.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Eunuch Feng has led him into the Inner Palace!" A young general in white was kneeling in front of Elder Chen. He was the young general whom Zhou Bao and Yan Yunfei met when they entered the city. After being kicked by Zhou Bao, he ran to the palace gate crazily, regardless of the pain on his body, and happened to see Elder Chen coming out of the palace.
"I see. You can go back and keep an eye on your ruffians. Don't let them make trouble!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The general responded with a strange expression on his face. "That's our plan!"
"Plan? What plan? We don't have a plan! " Elder Chen stared at him fiercely. "Go back and pretend that nothing happened. Do what you usually do now. Zhou Bao is a variable. But whether he comes or not, it doesn't affect the overall situation. Go back. Remember, don't act recklessly without my written order! "
"Yes, Your Excellency. I understand!" The young general answered and retreated.
"Zhou Bao, Zhou Bao, hehe, you are really a variable. But even if you come, I'm afraid that you can't change the overall situation. You may just cause me some trouble!" Thinking of this, Elder Chen waved his hand and asked his sedan bearers to leave. He stood outside the palace gate and looked at the deep palace quietly, as if he was waiting for something.
It was only when the white beam of light descended from the sky that an almost imperceptible smile flashed across his lips. This smile disappeared in a flash, and then the entire palace fell into chaos.
When such a phenomenon occurred in the palace, even the guards guarding the palace gate panicked. They were somewhat at a loss as to what to do. At this moment, Old Chen's face was also full of panic. Looking at the bewildered guards inside the palace gate, he put on a serious expression and actually walked into the palace gate. He loudly scolded the leader of the guards, and with a few orders, he gained control of the nearby guards.
A cry for help came from inside the palace. Then, a group of ministers who had been kneeling outside the bedchamber swarmed out of the palace in a panic, shouting for help as they ran.
"Come on, all of you come with me to help the Empress!"
He shouted loudly and ran to the Empress's bedchamber with these guards. When they arrived, they saw that all the assassins had been forced out by Zhou Bao and then committed suicide together.
"Your Excellency, what the hell is going on? What happened? Who are these people?" Old Chen's face was full of panic as he rushed toward the bedchamber. After the rain, the bluestone pavement was very slippery. Old Chen was obviously not a martial artist. After running for a few steps, he slipped and fell forward heavily on the ground. His whole body was covered with mud and water.
"Your Excellency Chen, hurry up, get up!"
Seeing this, one of the Three Ducal Ministers changed his expression. Although Elder Chen did not agree with the Three Ducal Ministers in politics, he was still a minister of the imperial court. They could not just watch a minister of the imperial court fall to his death. As the Three Ducal Ministers, they had tolerance and breadth of mind that ordinary people could not reach.
"It's okay, I'm fine, Your Excellency!" Seeing the old man who helped him up, Elder Chen hurriedly said. He did not even try to get rid of the mud on his body. Instead, he directly rushed to the door of the bedchamber and asked, "Your Excellency, this, this, what the hell happened? His Majesty, where is His Majesty?"
"His Majesty is trapped in the bedchamber!" Pei Tianming sighed softly. He just glanced at Elder Chen and then turned his eyes to the bedchamber. "This is a powerful formation. I can't crack it!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhou Bao. "I've sent people to Mingyi Lane, but I think His Majesty can't hold on for long!"
"Do you think your people can reach Mingyi Lane safely in this situation? Moreover, with such a big movement in the imperial city, do you think those people from Mingyi School don't know that there is a problem here? " Zhou Bao said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "It's not far from Mingyi Lane to the imperial city. Those people from Mingyi School are not blind. It has happened for so long. If they want to come, they should be here!"
"What did you say?" Pei Tianming suddenly looked at Zhou Bao as if Zhou Bao had hit the most critical and worrying point.
"Well, you're different from me. I'm a complete outsider. The whole Jin is under your control. Things have become so big. Don't you have any idea?" Zhou Bao said coldly, "I don't want to know or care about what is involved in it and whose interests are involved. But you're right. No matter what, the one inside is my father-in-law and my mother-in-law's body. I can't just ignore it!" When he said this, his 360-degree view easily detected a trace of strangeness and fierceness that flashed across Senior Chen's eyes.
"There's something wrong with this guy!" Seeing Elder Chen's strange expression, Zhou Bao understood that there seemed to be something wrong with this guy. Most of the things here were caused by him, or at least it must have something to do with him. However, there was no need for him to talk about this kind of thing without evidence. Besides, even if Elder Chen was playing tricks here, it had nothing to do with Zhou Bao. He just needed to find a way to get Yan Yuntian out.
With Yan Yuntian's ability, he should be able to control the situation easily. However, such a thing happened under his nose. It seemed that this guy's ability was limited.
Elder Chen didn't know that Zhou Bao had discovered his strangeness. In fact, he was standing behind Zhou Bao and the Grand Chancellor, one of the Three Chancellors. He lowered his head and his eyes were blocked by the Grand Chancellor's back. Although he revealed some flaws for a while, he didn't think that anyone could discover his flaws.
When he heard Zhou Bao say that he couldn't ignore it, he was a little flustered. He was not a martial arts practitioner and didn't even know a little bit of martial arts. But it didn't mean that he didn't know Zhou Bao's strength. Zhou Bao's strength had been proved by many experts, influences and sects at the cost of their lives and dignity.
He didn't think that a guy who could fight to the Mingyi School and retreat unscathed would really have no way to deal with this formation. It was unrealistic.
But facing such a thing, he was really helpless. He didn't know martial arts. Even if he did, he wouldn't be so stupid to deal with Zhou Bao at this time. That would be courting death. The only thing he could do now was to wait and see.
"This may be a little troublesome. Those guys, didn't they say that the power of this formation is infinite? Why haven't they killed Yan Yuntian yet? "
Yan Yuntian still insisted, although he was now completely furious.
As the most successful emperor since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty who was determined to be an eternal emperor and achieve the great cause of the Human Emperor, Yan Yuntian's enemies were all outside the imperial court. Inside the imperial court, everything was under his firm control. He also condoned the fights in the imperial court. The balance of all factions was the way of balance of the emperor and the application of the emperor's mind. But now, there was a problem, a big problem. Someone wanted to assassinate him in his imperial palace and made such a big noise. This was not an ordinary method, nor was it the masterpiece of an outsider.
Such a big trap in the imperial palace, even the death of the Queen was calculated. This meant that there was something wrong with the people around him, and more than one of them, and their status was definitely not low.
Such a thing was absolutely an insult to him, a huge insult. It was a slap in the face, a wantonly spit on his face, a complete denial of his ruling means, a mockery of him, and a complete denial of the Way of the Emperor, one of the 3,000 Great Ways.
Therefore, he was furious, extremely furious.
"No matter who you are, no matter who is standing behind you, I must make you pay, a huge price!" He roared angrily in his heart, and the golden Gang Qi around his body burned and boiled like flames. Mysterious talismans emerged in the flames around his body, forming strands and strands of tiny force fields. These force fields connected together and formed an incomparably ancient character, a character.
The character floated above Yan Yuntian's head, and unexpectedly pushed the white light up, forming an isolated space above his head.
"Mysterious Sky-reaching Pillar!" He stared at the white light above his head, which gave him great pressure. His eyes revealed extreme resentment. He bit his tongue hard and spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood. The golden character above his head lit up, and the pressure around his body was greatly reduced. He picked up Luo Xuehuan's body and was about to leave.
Just as he picked up Luo Xuehuan's body, a layer of faint mist suddenly appeared, and actually entangled in the Gang Qi around his body.
"This is …!" Before he could figure out what was going on, he felt his strength draining away, and the character above his head also dimmed. He suddenly sat on the ground, and the blood on his face disappeared in an instant.
"It's really troublesome!" Outside the bedchamber, Zhou Bao stretched out his hand and knocked on the Space Rampart, which had become solid, like the tempered glass in his previous life. He frowned deeply. This was much more troublesome than he had imagined. It was not impossible to break it by force, and he could open it by force at any time. However, the problem was that the superposition of this level of space would produce a Space Storm and turbulence that could instantly raze the entire Western Capital to the ground. Although he could see that there were all kinds of powerful formations around Western Capital, and even inside the city, to a large extent, these formations were used to defend against external invasions. However, this kind of Space Storm would destroy it from the inside. The imperial palace was the center of the entire Western Capital, and the Queen's bedchamber was the center of the entire imperial city. If a powerful Space Storm was produced here, the formations in Western Capital would not even be activated and would be destroyed immediately.
