Chapter 257: Capturing the Emperor

The attacking regiment and battalion was the darkest hand of Tianmen, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, and it also exposed their purpose. For the Jianghu people, the most suitable method is to sneak into the palace and kidnap the emperor.

However, there is a deep meaning behind the seemingly stupid move.

In the entire Heavenly Gate, only the Gate Master and the High Priest knew this, and the High Priest watched them go to their deaths, but he never said a word.

She knew they wouldn't come back, but she never expected them to lose so badly.

This was a temptation, and after paying a heavy price, Tianmen had to reassess the strength of the imperial court.

The emperor left the capital and came to Nanjing, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, but they did not come out of the nest.

This was a trap that the high priest saw at a glance, and then came a herald from the master of the door, telling her to find out what was true and false.

Overall, this time, although Tianmen said that it wanted to control the emperor, it was just a declaration to the outside world, and no one in Tianmen trusted anyone except her.

Standing on the tall building, watching the battle of the regimental camp, the expression on the high priest's face had a wry smile, and then made a preliminary judgment: the strength of the imperial court is still there, and if it wants to raise troops in the future, it will face a huge threat, and it can only win by surprise.

At the same time, most of the hall masters who participated in the meeting were much more low-key, and although they were reflected by the lights in the dark night, they could not even be seen with the sharp eyes of eagles.

These assassins, who had completely melted into the darkness, did not wear obvious swords on their bodies, only daggers in their arms, and unconsciously touched the emperor's mansion.

"These people should be able to eliminate the twelve Ouchi guards, maybe a few dragon guards, but they really have to deal with Deadpool. It will only be killed instantly. ”

The figure of the High Priest vanished from the tall building, following the Assassins.

She was dressed in white, and she should have been very conspicuous in the night, but because her body was too fast, no one saw her.

In the emperor's hotel, Liu Liangnu was holding a snowflake cream. Feed it into the mouth of Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Her smile is still as sweet as before, and the movement of her slender hand picking up the pastry is also so elegant and calm.

The smiling emperor gently touched her hand, pulled her into his arms, and leaned towards her mouth with the pastry in his mouth.

Liu Liangnu felt a bitter emotion in her heart, but it didn't show it on her face at all, and her laughter was crisp. Jiao Sheng said: "Your Majesty, the concubine feeds you, do you dislike it?"

Zhu Houzhao held the pastry, couldn't speak, and directly fed half of the pastry into her mouth, Liu Liangnu felt sweet in her heart, and looked at the emperor Zhu Houzhao with affection, Zhu Houzhao swallowed the pastry. kissed the woman he loved on the face and said, "I want to share the joys and sorrows with Qing." As long as you feed me and eat it, I will admit the poison. ”

Hearing this, Liu Liangnu's tears could no longer be stopped, and she burst out of her eyes, and she said in a choked tone: "Your Majesty, in fact, the concubine is a spy placed by your side. They are the ones who have come to murder you. ”

For her words, Emperor Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all, and still looked at this woman with a smile on her face, but she was not a woman who was alluring the country and the city, and said flatly: "Actually, I already knew. I just want to know when you'll be willing to confess to me. Fortunately, I was patient and finally waited for this day. ”

Liu Liangnu knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said in a sad tone: "The concubines and criminals deceived the king, and they rebelled, so I beg Your Majesty to give the concubine the death penalty." ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and said in a calm tone: "Don't mention these, if I can survive this catastrophe, it will not be too late to pursue you again, if you unfortunately die in this struggle, let's go to Huangquan together, and we are not alone with a companion." ”

"The emperor is blessed with all the heavens, they naturally can't succeed, but they are afraid that the concubines will take the first step. ”

After saying this, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her body went limp.

Zhu Houzhao held her in his arms and stretched out his hand to probe her snort, she was already dead of anger.

"I don't blame you, why do you want to do this?"

The emperor was talking to himself, no longer with the same hippie smile, but his tears never flowed.

With her mission and love and hatred, this woman left this treacherous river and lake forever.

She can always be favored only because the emperor wants to get more information from her, and the trick of infiltration and counter-infiltration has existed since ancient times.

In this war of wit, starting from the beauty and ending with the counter-calculation, there were countless sacrifices and confrontations during the period, and finally ended the game because of a woman's compromise.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao hugged Liu Liangnu tightly, her body gradually became stiff, and the emperor's mood was more complicated.

If the heart does not start, the heart will not hurt, and if the heart moves, tears will go a thousand ways.

For the emperor, if he wants to win in the power struggle, all people can be sacrificed, which may be the common characteristic of the Ming monarch's overlord, but for Zhu Houzhao, he is unwilling to face the loneliness of a successful achievement.

In the end, he still has feelings for her, he may not be a qualified monarch, but he is a man of flesh and blood.

Outside the pavilion, more than a dozen hall masters of the Heavenly Gate and the Ouchi guards had already exchanged hands, and no sound came from either side.

This silent fight did not last long, there were no guns and swords, no complicated moves, and some were just one-hit kills.

Master duels, as it has always been, omitted all fancy tricks, and pursued only unpretentious defeat.

As the high priest expected, after killing several hall masters in battle, all twelve Ouchi guards were killed on the spot.

The remaining nine hall masters stood quietly outside the pavilion, but they didn't dare to push the door for a long time, although their goal was already close at hand, no one dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

The figure of the High Priest slowly descended from the sky, standing in front of everyone, facing the door.

There were no dragon guards, no ten Deadpools, and no thousands of troops outside the walls.

It was all extraordinarily peaceful, so quiet that you could hear the breathing of his subordinates who had become heavy from nervousness.

"Friends outside the door, since you're here, let's come in and talk about it. ”

In the room, a flat voice came out, this person was in the prime of life, his voice was loud and full of energy.

The high priest raised her hand and motioned for her men to stand still, and she gently pushed the door open.

There are no traps, the lighting in the room is soft, and the arrangement is elegant and noble, although it does not have the magnificence of the Jinluan Palace, but there is a convincing royal spirit.

The High Priest walked slowly into the room, one step at a time, in accordance with propriety, and her every move was graceful and unblemished.

"You're finally here, and I haven't seen my aunt for twenty years since I was ten years old. ”

The high priest smiled at the corner of his mouth and said softly: "His Royal Highness, who used to cry, has become the king of the empire, and the emperor has grown up, and his old body is very pleased. ”

The two of them were actually doing a good job, and there was no tension at all.
