Chapter 1028: Performance Time

At this moment.

No one knew that the Vice Minister Liu, who appeared so calm and composed, was drawing closer and closer to death.

But in the eyes of some.

He was already a dead man!

Especially Cheng Hua!

This man, who just a moment ago had a look of righteous indignation and seemed concerned for the safety of Liu Zheng, now had a face that had turned ferocious and terrifying. Seeing that he was only one step away from Liu Zheng, the blade in his hand could no longer be restrained, and he swung it, shouting loudly: "Go to hell!"

"What?"

"Cheng Hua!"

"He..."

"Vice Minister Liu, watch out!"

"General!"

"Young Master!"

Everyone saw the direction Cheng Hua was lunging and their expressions changed one after another. The entire scene erupted.

This Cheng Hua actually wanted to kill Liu Zheng!

However.

It was already too late to save him, because at this moment, Cheng Hua was simply too close to him. Cheng Hua had been able to become a Deputy Commander of the Capital Cavalry by relying bit by bit on his own strength; he was certainly different from a weak scholar like Liu Zheng. Since he had chosen to strike on such an occasion, he must have felt it was a sure thing.

Everyone could not help but close their eyes.

Pei Qianyun, who had been blocking attacks over there, could not make it back in time to rescue him, and his expression also changed drastically.

"Liu Zheng!"

Xie Chan's pretty face also changed. Just move already! At a time like this, what are you still acting cool and composed for!

Liu Zheng, indeed, did not move at all, not even turning his body around.

Seeing this attitude from Liu Zheng, Cheng Hua was instantly furious.

What is the meaning of this?

Do you look down on me that much?

Consequently, he increased the force in his hand by a few notches.

The blade hacked shockingly toward Liu Zheng's skull.

It looked as if it were about to land on Liu Zheng's head.

However.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a chirping sound rang out in the air. This sound appeared abruptly, causing many people to perk up.

A tiny arrow suddenly appeared in the air, and it came toward the edge of Cheng Hua's blade at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye! This arrow was simply too fast! Fast to the point of being outrageous; in this era, such a fast arrow shouldn't even exist! To what extent was it fast?

It was so fast that when the arrow was fired, it was just at the moment Cheng Hua's blade was about to fall.

However...

Before Cheng Hua's blade could land on Liu Zheng's head, this small arrow had already arrived!

Bang!

The speed of this small arrow was extremely fast, and its force was also very fierce. Moreover, it was steady, accurate, and ruthless; the small arrow just like that, barely landed on Cheng Hua's blade! Cheng Hua had not been paying attention, and when a massive force struck, his blade trembled violently. Furthermore, a sharp pain shot through the web between his thumb and index finger, and the blade that was about to slide onto Liu Zheng's head was deflected just like that!

"What?"

Cheng Hua's expression changed drastically.

What the hell is this?

The blade in his hand had actually almost fallen!

Viscount Xie Sheng was also completely bewildered. Where was this arrow fired from? How could it be this fast! How could it be this fierce!

Impossible!

This shouldn't be!

This sudden turn of events caused Cheng Hua's War Horse to come to a rapid stop as well; he was stunned, he was completely stunned.

And at this time.

Liu Zheng slowly turned his head, looked at Cheng Hua with a chuckle, and said: "General Cheng, what is the meaning of this?"

"You, you, you..."

To Cheng Hua at this moment, Liu Zheng's smile was so terrifying, so frightening.

"Audacious Cheng Hua, you dare to ambush the General!"

"Take him down for me!"

"Take him down!"

Only then did the group of Capital Cavalry react.

Cheng Hua's expression changed drastically: "Kill the traitor Liu, purge the Emperor's side!"

"Kill the traitor Liu, purge the Emperor's side!"

The three hundred Youzhou Assassins behind him also began their charge simultaneously.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

The sudden turn of events left them unable to react in time. After all, Cheng Hua was also a Deputy Commander of the Capital Cavalry and a person who was quite valued in Jinghua; for someone of this level to suddenly act in such a way under these circumstances was truly shocking.

Although he was shouting about purging the Emperor's side, everyone knew that Liu Zheng was currently the Emperor's most favored official.

If you have major objections, you can raise them at the morning court, but to act like this at the Crown Prince's funeral was surely a capital crime.

Therefore.

He came with the determination to die!

Everyone understood in an instant.

Cheng Hua was also representing a faction here at this moment!

Everyone believed that Liu Zheng being appointed as the Duqi Duwei Commander this time was a signal sent by the old emperor. Those factions wanting to stir up trouble naturally wished for things to become increasingly chaotic. If Liu Zheng were killed, Longyan would fall into chaos.

The Old Aristocrats?

Or the Scholar-officials?

But at this moment, it no longer mattered.

"Kill!"

Three hundred assassins from Youzhou had long been lying in ambush among the Duqi.

At this moment, they were also very close to Liu Zheng. By striking now, they had directly blocked Liu Zheng's retreat as well.

Perilous!

In everyone's eyes, Liu Zheng was in extreme danger at this moment!

There was almost no possibility of escape!

It was already too late for the other Duqi who had not been corrupted by Cheng Hua to come and rescue Liu Zheng.

The scene became chaotic beyond measure.

Cheng Hua roared even louder: "Kill the traitor Liu!"

"Purge the emperor's side!"

Liu Zheng was, for a moment, once again in a precarious situation.

Swords and blades stood like a forest, charging in frantically.

Everyone gasped in cold air.

These assassins from Youzhou were indeed a bit too strong.

By utilizing the terrain, trees, and other environmental factors, they could resist an army of thousands!

Could their Special Forces...

Compare to them?

Just when everyone thought.

This time, Liu Zheng would surely die.

The *chiu chiu chiu* sounds rang out once again.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! *

This time.

These sounds were added to the mix.

Everyone looked up and was immediately shocked.

Because in an instant, a group of people flew down from the trees!

That's right, they flew down!

They were wearing deep green military uniforms, and these uniforms could actually blend in perfectly with the surrounding trees... If they didn't move, others wouldn't be able to tell at all whether they were people or trees...

You wouldn't even know when they had been lying in ambush here, nor would you know when they had appeared.

These people were all well-equipped, and those pieces of equipment were things no one had ever seen before.

Their movements were uniform and orderly, each person holding a Special Crossbow. They all wore a type of helmet no one had ever seen before.

On their uniforms, there were two characters.

Dark Night.

"What?"

"This..."

"Dark Night Legion?"

Everyone could see it.

This was the famous Dark Night Legion from Liangzhou! The Dark Night Legion that, in Ottoman, had single-handedly changed the outcome of a great battle!

Their way of making an entrance was too explosive!

Equally explosive was the combat power they displayed, sweeping through everything the moment they appeared!
