Chapter 299 The clouds disperse and the sky becomes blue

"The Supreme Emperor should not be insulted lightly. I will give him a happy life!"

Ye Gucheng didn't want to see Zhu Houzhao die at the hands of the villain eunuch, so he took the initiative to ask for help.

"That's fine!" Although Nanping Wang Shi was rebellious, he was also a descendant of the Zhu family. He weighed it in his heart. Indeed, Zhu Houzhao represented the face of the Zhu family. He really should not die at the hands of a villain like Wang Ying. He nodded in agreement. Ye Gucheng's suggestion.

"Thank you, City Lord Ye, for giving me the last bit of dignity!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel good about him, and had a hint of appreciation for Ye Gucheng.

"Although you and I are enemies, a hero should not die at the hands of a villain!"

Ye Gucheng didn't have any tact. His words turned Wang Ying's face black with anger, and he already had a grudge against Ye Gucheng in his heart.

As a eunuch, Wang Ying was very narrow-minded, but he still had a smile on his face and never showed anything unusual. He silently moved away from the road, came to one side to stand, and handed Zhu Houzhao to Ye Gucheng for handling.

"I don't kill defenseless people, but I'm going to make an exception today."

Ye Gucheng leaped forward with his sword and stabbed at Zhu Houzhao very fast. A cold light flashed and he was already close to Zhu Houzhao.

At this moment, the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly collapsed, and a figure stood in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind!"

Two slender and flawless fingers clamped Ye Gucheng's sword in the middle, and the scene was stagnant for a moment.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty waited for the escort to arrive late, and startled the Holy Majesty. He deserves to be punished with death!" A group of palace guards and worshipers rushed over and apologized.

"Ai Qing and others have done a great job in rescuing me, how can I blame you!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to signal everyone to level up, without any intention of blaming him.

Lu Xiaofeng slowly loosened his hand, and Ye Gucheng sheathed his sword and silently retreated to Prince Nanping. The matter had been exposed. If nothing could be done, it was already a defeat.

Lu Xiaofeng already knew all of Ye Gucheng's plans and should have arrived a long time ago. However, he thought that Ye Gucheng would go to fight with Ximen Chuixue and attract everyone's attention. However, he did not expect that Ye Gucheng would actually ask a substitute to attend the appointment. He didn't keep the appointment, so he rushed over and rescued Zhu Houzhao at the critical moment.

Lu Xiaofeng looked around the palace suspiciously, but did not see Zhu Xiao. She was confused. Logically speaking, Zhu Xiao should be guarding the emperor here, why was he missing?

"I'm right by your side, don't be surprised!"

Zhu Xiao's voice reached Lu Xiaofeng's ears. Lu Xiaofeng didn't let go of his words, and he was relieved. However, he was also surprised by Zhu Xiao's method. He couldn't see his figure, and he couldn't help but feel raised in the realm of heaven and human. Awe.

"Prince Nanping, do you still have anything to say now that things have happened?"

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair again, and everyone lined up to protect him. Zhu Houzhao looked at the Prince of Nanping below and asked.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say!"

Prince Nanping imitated Zhu Houzhao's words and deeds at every turn. His personality was very similar to Zhu Houzhao's. He gave in decisively without struggling.

However, the prince of Nanping was different from Zhu Houzhao in one thing. He once worshiped Ye Gucheng as his teacher and learned a good swordsmanship. Although his cultivation was only innate, he was not incapable of tying a chicken.

The prince of Nanping knew that he was not allowed to do anything, and did not want to be humiliated. He drew his sword and killed himself on the spot. No one could stop him.

When Wang Ying saw Prince Nanping committing suicide, he smiled brightly, bit open the poison sac in his mouth, his face changed, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he bent down to salute Zhu Houzhao again.

"Old slave, bid farewell to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look anymore. After all, it was the old man who had been with him for many years who ended up like this, which made him feel quite sad for a while.

"City Lord Ye, you are a great master and have a respected status. You don't have to get involved in this matter?"

Zhu Houzhao felt sorry for Ye Gucheng, who was the only one left in the palace.

"I was originally a sinner and was exiled to the land of the South China Sea. I could only take my mother's surname since I was a child. I was greatly favored by King Nanping when I was young, so I had no choice but to do it!"

Ye Gucheng was still calm at this time. He had long disregarded life and death and had seen through honor and disgrace. He didn't care about the hostile looks around him.

"How can I be a thief when I am a beautiful woman?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Gucheng with regret, it was a sigh that such a mission that was like banishing an immortal was about to fall.

"Victory is a king, defeat is a thief!"

Ye Gucheng told the truth that is unbreakable in ancient and modern times, and did not care about the drastic change in Zhu Houzhao's face.

"That's all, stubborn!"

Zhu Houzhao was a little angry, but still gave Ye Gucheng the last bit of dignity.

"You are guilty of an unforgivable crime, but because of your actions just now, I will give you some dignity and let you finish the decisive battle with Ximen Chuixue. A swordsman's fate should be to die under the opponent's sword, not to be beheaded!"

Zhu Houzhao is very chivalrous and yearns for a life of pleasure and revenge, so he is willing to fulfill Ye Gucheng's last dignity.

Ye Gucheng's eyes moved slightly, and then he bowed to Zhu Houzhao, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone watched Ye Gucheng walking towards the outside of the palace with a sharp sword in his hand. No one dared to stop him, but just followed behind him silently.

Soon only Zhu Houzhao was left in the entire hall. The worshipers and guards were guarding outside the hall, while Lu Xiaofeng and others went to watch the battle between the top swordsmen.

"It seems that Zhu Wuwu held it back and didn't take action!"

Zhu Xiao gradually appeared in front of Zhu Houzhao and sighed with some regret.

If Zhu ignores this attack, Zhu Xiao can kill him naturally without having to wait for several years.

"Zhu Wuwu is an old fox. If he is not very sure, he will choose to continue to endure it."

Zhu Houzhao didn't have any disappointment or regret. He and Zhu Wu had been fighting for a long time, and they had already developed patience. They were not anxious at all. Now that he had the advantage and was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, he was even less anxious. The longer it took, the more time it took. , the greater his advantage, the smaller the impact Zhu Wuli will have, and the more beneficial it will be to the development of Ming Dynasty.

"Forget it, this time the matter is finally over, and the sky is clear. You must also speed up your pace and remove Zhu Wuwu's tentacles of influence as soon as possible. I only have more than two years, and you must know it well!"

Zhu Xiao was pleased with Zhu Houzhao's patience, but he still couldn't help but remind Zhu Houzhao a few words. If Zhu Houzhao was not ready before he left, then Zhu Houzhao would be a big trouble, even though Zhu Xiao said nothing about Zhu Houzhao. He was very disdainful of his strength, but Zhu Mingwu was indeed at the pinnacle of the Grand Master realm, and his skill far exceeded that of the Grand Master. For others, he was an existence that was invincible by human power.

"I understand, don't worry!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly looked serious and nodded heavily to express his understanding.

Zhu Xiao took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao, nodded, and then disappeared bit by bit in front of Zhu Houzhao again, as if he had slipped into the void.

"It's so enviable! It's even more awe-inspiring!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Xiao who disappeared in front of his eyes, and said two true words with a dark and uncertain expression.
