"You …"
Looking at Fan Jun's ferocious face, Hong Zhi was dumbfounded. In his mind, he was wondering what was going on. Why would the commander of the Emperor's Equal Prince's Mansion appear here, and even say that he wanted to do something to him?
Especially when he thought of the Emperor's Equal Mansion, he still couldn't believe that Li Zhiping, the person who called him brother, would actually be afraid of being assassinated.
Furthermore, where are my secret guards? Why didn't my secret guards come to protect me? This shouldn't be the case!
However, no matter how Hong Zhi thought about it, he couldn't imagine that his so-called secret guards were currently lying on the ground in the outer palace, trying to break free from the boundless pressure.
"Tsk tsk, Hong Zhi, that's all you can do. Having an emperor like you is the sorrow of Hongtian Empire!"
"Since that's the case, then … let me change the rule of Hongtian Empire."
"I believe that under the leadership of the Emperor's Equal Mansion, Hongtian Empire will be able to last longer and become more peaceful. Who knows, it might even be able to rule over the surrounding countries and expand its territory."
After saying that, he walked towards Hong Zhi step by step. According to Ouyang Zheng's instructions, I can only injure him and not kill him. Thus … what I said just now was just to provoke Hong Zhi.
I believe that after today, the emperor of Hongtian Empire will risk universal condemnation and make a move against Li Zhiping of the Emperor's Equal Mansion. At that time, even if Li Zhiping doesn't want to resist, he will have to do so for the sake of his family's lives. This … is exactly what Lin Ray wants to see.
At that time, Li Zhiping will ask Lin Ray to help him unify the entire Hongtian Empire. At that time, his mission will be completed and he … will be able to return to the Sacred Realm and find the ancient ruins to help the Little Dragon regain his soul energy and reforge his physical body.
"You … don't come over. The Emperor is the master of Hongtian Empire. You … whatever you want, the Emperor can give it to you."
"Power, wealth, women. As long as it's something you want, the Emperor can give it to you."
However, Fan Jun acted as if he didn't hear anything. He continued to walk leisurely towards Hong Zhi.
"You don't like it?"
"Then … the Emperor's daughter, Princess Changqing. Changqing is a beauty of the workers of Hongtian. As long as you let the Emperor off, the Emperor will betroth Changqing to you. At that time, you will be the Prince Consort of our Hongtian Empire. You will be second only to the Emperor and above everyone else. You can have anything you want."
"How is it?"
This was the best thing he could give Fan Jun. He did not believe that Fan Jun would not like the three things that a man pursued throughout his life.
"Changqing?"
Looking at Hong Zhi, Zhang Qing's face could not help but appear in his mind. Indeed, in the entire Hong Tian, Zhang Qing was undoubtedly one of the top beauties. Moreover, she was proficient in the four arts. She was the woman in every man's heart. She was the lover of their dreams. Who would not like her?
Fan Jun could not deny that he liked beautiful women. However, he had no say in this matter. Moreover, after being controlled, he had no interest in anything related to the target. The only thing he knew was to complete the mission!
Hong Zhi was not clear about Fan Jun's current situation. When he heard Fan Jun mention Changqing's name, he thought that Fan Jun was moved. Hong Zhi thought that his chance had come.
"Changqing. That's right, it's Changqing. She is the Emperor's daughter. As long as you let the Emperor off, the Emperor will arrange a wedding for you two. At that time, you will be the Emperor's Ming Zheng …"
"Nonsense!"
However, just as Hong Zhi was getting excited, Fan Jun rebuked him angrily. His expression became even more ferocious.
"Hong Zhi, you underestimate me too much. In my eyes, your daughter is indeed very beautiful. However, you … must die today."
As he spoke, Fan Jun naturally walked forward. Looking at the trembling Hong Zhi who was cowering in the corner, the disappointment in his eyes became more and more intense.
It was hard for him to imagine how an Emperor like this managed to sit on the throne step by step.
Looking at Hong Zhi, disgust flashed across Fan Jun's eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "Remember, in your next life, be a child of an ordinary family. Otherwise …"
As he spoke, he raised his sword and aimed it at Hong Zhi's neck.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hong Zhi, who was cowering in the corner, felt the sword whistling towards him. At this moment, Hong Zhi could almost see his head being chopped off by the sword and his blood spraying everywhere.
"No, the Emperor can't die like this. The Emperor's great years have just begun. How can he die at the hands of a nobody today?"
"No, no, the Emperor can't die!"
Just as Fan Jun's sword was about to chop off his head, Hong Zhi's unyielding will surged up. He was unwilling to accept this.
In the first half of his life, he had already lost too much for that throne. Now, he had just secured his position. How could he give up everything in front of him and return to the Nine Heavens?
He was unwilling to accept this.
"No, bastard, come here for the Emperor!"
Hong Zhi didn't know where he got the strength from, but he held the sword in his hand and collided with the sword above his head. At the same time, as he raised his sword to defend himself, his body fled to the side.
Although it was impossible for him to escape the injury caused by the sword, his life was saved.
With a "puchi" sound, the sound of flesh being cut suddenly rang out in the palace. A flash of blood appeared. Hong Zhi's body went limp to the side. In the end, he narrowly escaped the fatal blow from the sword.
Even so, the sword still left an indelible scar on Hong Zhi's left shoulder.
"Ahhh!"
Hong Zhi let out a cry of pain. His entire body went limp in a sorry state. As for the pain from his shoulder, it was replaced by a cry of pain.
His figure stumbled as he rushed out of the palace. Although his speed wasn't as fast as before, what made him puzzled was that Fan Jun's speed had also decreased.
"Heh, consider yourself lucky this time." Looking at Hong Zhi's fleeing figure, Fan Jun coldly snorted and thought of retreating.
Now, the task that Ouyang Zhen gave him had been completed. Hong Zhi's screams would soon attract the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the guards of the palace. So, it was useless to stay now.
He stepped forward in the direction that Hong Zhi had fled. The sword was still in his hand. Scarlet blood dripped down the blade and onto the ground.
Outside the palace, Fan Jun's divine sense was constantly watching what was happening in the palace. When he saw Hong Zhi's hand, he knew that the result he wanted had appeared. If he went down now, it would affect his future plans.
"Alright, that's enough. In a while, I will release those suppressed people and finish the last act. Then, we can completely escape from people's sight."
Inside the palace, Fan Jun heard Ouyang Zhen's voice transmission and nodded heavily. "Understood, master."
