Chapter 35

He had to risk his life to protect the Emperor.

The status he possessed today was all given by the Emperor.

If the Emperor were killed, his status would certainly not be preserved, and those he had offended in the past would definitely tear him apart.

For the sake of his own life, Cao Cao Zhengchun absolutely would not allow Ye Ye Gucheng's assassination to succeed.

Yu Yu Huatian didn't speak; holding a sword, he looked at Ye Ye Gucheng, who was attacking rapidly, with a serious expression.

The Western Depot was absolutely loyal to the Emperor.

Even if it were to die for the Emperor, Yu Yu Huatian would have no complaints.

Zhuge Zhengwo, the God of Catchers, Guo Guo Juxia, and others were also ready to take action at any time.

Only Zhu Zhu Wushi, seeing Ye Ye Gucheng's actions, felt a burst of wild joy in his heart.

"Truly a god-given opportunity!"

Zhu Zhu Wushi thought to himself.

Previously, he had been looking for an opportunity.

He didn't expect Ye Ye Gucheng to hand the opportunity over himself.

If he didn't grasp this well, Zhu Zhu Wushi would feel sorry for his years of planning.

"Eunuch Cao, Eunuch Yu, Divine Marquis, you three lead His Majesty back to the palace."

"Leave Ye Ye Gucheng to me, the God of Catchers, and Guo Guo Juxia to deal with!"

Zhu Zhu Wushi stepped in front of the crowd and began to issue orders.

He was the Imperial Uncle; here, besides the Emperor, his status was the most noble and prominent.

At the moment, the Emperor's mind was blank with fear.

It was most appropriate for Zhu Zhu Wushi to make various arrangements.

"Listen to the Imperial Uncle, listen to the Imperial Uncle's arrangements, hurry and take me back to the palace."

Zhu Zhu Houzhao said hurriedly.

Cao Cao Zhengchun glanced at Zhu Zhu Wushi and did not argue.

At the moment, protecting His Majesty was the most important thing, and besides, Zhu Zhu Wushi's arrangement was not problematic.

This was the most dangerous place.

It was better to take His Majesty away as soon as possible.

Even if not to avoid Ye Ye Gucheng, there were two Land Immortal Heaven-Man realm martial artists fighting in the sky.

If they didn't control it well and hurt His Majesty, that would be a capital crime.

Cao Cao Zhengchun, Yu Yu Huatian, and Zhuge Zhengwo were about to leave while protecting Zhu Zhu Houzhao, but before they had taken a few steps, several martial artists dressed in black clothes and holding black blades suddenly appeared and blocked them.

"Daring to block the way, die for me!"

Cao Cao Zhengchun gathered his internal energy into his hands and slapped fiercely toward one person.

"Divine Marquis, protect His Majesty well!"

Yu Yu Huatian said coldly, and holding his sword, he also rushed up to launch an attack.

Zhu Zhu Wushi, the God of Catchers, and Guo Guo Juxia also found their opponents respectively and began to entangle with these mysterious martial artists.

Zhuge Zhengwo narrowed his eyes, feeling very shocked.

So many Grandmaster martial artists appeared suddenly, and he hadn't noticed it at all.

How did these people hide in the surroundings?

Who were these people?

Many thoughts appeared in Zhuge Zhengwo's mind.

Just at this moment, the hair on his body suddenly stood up, and he hurriedly took Zhu Zhu Houzhao away from the spot.

Just after leaving, a person holding a dagger appeared in the spot.

"Quite vigilant!"

"But it's useless!"

The person who came said coldly, and holding the dagger, he began to attack Zhuge Zhengwo.

Because Zhuge Zhengwo was carrying Zhu Zhu Houzhao, his movements were very inconvenient, and he was soon injured.

The assassin holding the dagger found an opportunity to separate Zhu Zhu Houzhao and Zhuge Zhengwo.

"Do it!"

The assassin said to Ye Ye Gucheng.

Ye Ye Gucheng seized the opportunity, and his attack speed increased suddenly.

The next second, the distance between him and Zhu Zhu Houzhao was shortened by more than half.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Cao Cao Zhengchun shouted out.

"Master Yuan Tiangang Child Skill!"

"Ten Thousand Rivers Return to the Sea!"

Cao Cao Zhengchun exerted all his strength, ignoring the assassin's attack, and turned to protect Zhu Zhu Houzhao.

An internal energy shield rose around his body.

Yu Yu Huatian and the others also hurriedly shook off their opponents, wanting to save Zhu Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Zhu Wushi stared intently.

Ye Ye Gucheng's speed was very fast, like a flash of lightning; in the blink of an eye, his sword stopped at the position of Zhu Zhu Houzhao's heart.

Ye Ye Gucheng's attack was just right; he didn't kill Zhu Zhu Houzhao, but he caused Zhu Zhu Houzhao to be seriously injured.

This assassination took a very short time, from Ye Ye Gucheng's action to the success of the assassination.

It took less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Retreat!"

Seeing the action succeed, Jin Luo Er forced Eunuch Eunuch Sanbao back with a blade and said immediately.

Their plan was to assassinate Zhu Zhu Houzhao; after succeeding, there was no need to stay longer.

The rules of the Night Watchmen were like this.

Once the mission was successful, retreat immediately.

Every Night Watchman had to follow the rules and obey the rules.

Ye Ye Gucheng and the others immediately stopped, performed ghostly movement techniques, and left the Great Ming Imperial Palace immediately.

Eunuch Eunuch Sanbao and the others couldn't care about continuing the pursuit.

They had to check on how His Majesty was.

"Immediately seal the imperial palace."

"Do not let these watching martial artists leave."

Eunuch Eunuch Sanbao said immediately.

However, what he said was already a bit late.

Some martial artists had already left.

Eunuch Eunuch Sanbao also knew this; what he could do now was to make up for it as much as possible.

Soon, the gates of the Forbidden City were closed tightly.

The patrolling guards were three times more numerous than usual.

The guards at each gate of the Great Ming capital were also twice as numerous as usual.

Everyone was fully armed!

Overnight, the Heaven of Great Ming changed!

The events that happened tonight were destined to be recorded in history.

The martial artists who came to watch, besides being shocked, felt in their hearts that they hadn't come in vain tonight.

Not only did they watch the duel between two top swordsmen, but they also witnessed the assassination of the Great Ming Emperor with their own eyes.

With the spread of the departing martial artists, the whole of Great Ming knew about the assassination of the Emperor; as for whether the Emperor was dead or not, there were different versions spreading in the martial arts world every day.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the imperial palace, waiting for specific news to come from inside.
