Chapter 50: The Guardian of the Great Ming Imperial Family, Eunuch Sanbao

Great Ming, Dragon Protection Villa.

"Foster Father, the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue has caused such a stir; should we make some preparations in advance?"

Duan Tianya said solemnly.

He knew of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.

After all, these two were considered the best among the younger generation of the Great Ming Jianghu.

The Dragon Protection Villa had an intelligence network spanning all of Great Ming and understood the situation of these two very comprehensively.

Therefore, Duan Tianya knew well how powerful their destructive potential was.

"Foster Father, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are both Grandmasters; if they duel in the Forbidden City, I fear it will cause significant destruction."

"If His Majesty is disturbed, we will likely be blamed."

Shangguan Haitang spoke from the perspective of the Dragon Protection Villa.

Last time, she went to Mount Wudang to recruit Song Qingshu and Zhuo Yihang, but failed, so she hurried back.

Just after returning, she heard the news of the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.

"I have already petitioned His Majesty."

"Once His Majesty's order comes down, we can immediately take action."

Zhu Wushi said with a serious expression.

Although he did not know what purpose Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue had for dueling in the Forbidden City this time, his instinct as an ambitious man told him that there was definitely more to this than met the eye.

He had to make good use of it!

"Perhaps this will be an opportunity for me!"

Zhu Wushi thought to himself.

Of course he had petitioned the Emperor.

Based on his understanding of his nephew, the Emperor, such an exciting event was something the Emperor would certainly not miss.

He might even go to the scene to watch in person.

If he could seize the opportunity then, perhaps he could assassinate the Emperor.

As long as the Emperor died, relying on the various forces he secretly controlled, he could certainly ascend to the imperial throne.

Regarding this, Zhu Wushi had absolute confidence.

He also knew the thoughts of people like Prince Ruyang and Prince Ning clearly.

However, Zhu Wushi had never taken these people seriously.

In his view, that group were just clowns who couldn't stir up any waves.

Great Ming Imperial Palace.

Zhu Houzhao ate a piece of pastry and asked, "Is the day of the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue almost here?"

Although he was an Emperor, he did not like reading those memorials.

He liked managing court affairs even less.

He was more accustomed to practicing martial arts and fighting wars!

If it weren't for those old civil officials in the court being so strict, he would have long since donned armor, shouldered a blade, and gone to the border to command the army.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are three days left!"

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

He knew well that His Majesty was very fond of such things.

Therefore, after Cao Zhengchun finished answering, he prayed incessantly in his heart that His Majesty would not get a sudden urge to play.

However, before he could finish his prayers, the Zhengde Emperor, Zhu Houzhao, spoke up.

He knew well that His Majesty's personality was very fond of such matters.

Therefore, after Cao Zhengchun finished answering, he prayed incessantly in his heart that His Majesty would not suddenly get a playful urge.

However, before he could finish a few prayers, the Zhengde Emperor, Zhu Houzhao, spoke up.
