The night was dark and heavy. It gradually pressed down from the sky like a prehistoric beast. It woke up with a deep sleep, carrying a monstrous fury as it approached layer by layer.
In the capital city, on the main street, all the once brightly lit scenes from the past had completely vanished. An atmosphere of tension and pressure enveloped the entire capital.
Xuanyuan Jing donned a set of silvery-white armor, rode on his horse and flew on the streets, behind him were his trusted aides, galloping straight towards the palace gates.
There was no one standing guard at the gates of the palace. The guards had been killed by his dark guards, and the gates were wide open as if to welcome him in.
As he entered the palace gates, his mind suddenly recalled the worry that appeared on his face when his wife personally helped him put on the armor in the King Jing Palace two hours ago.
He had always known that Ye Ningyu had truly and sincerely liked Xuanyuan Chen.
After interacting with him for so many days, Ye Ningyu seemed to have long since forgotten the love, adoration and adoration he once had for Xuanyuan Chen, and had wholeheartedly helped him deal with his greatest enemy.
Today, the victor and loser were all in this battle. He'd long since arranged for his subordinates to escort her out overnight, and they headed north.
He held the reins tightly in his hand as he faced the patrolling imperial guards. He stabbed them with his sword and killed them one after another.
The hidden forces he had deployed in the royal guards had already started to counterattack the Emperor Xuanyuan's forces. The two forces clashed and countless streaks of silver light cut through the dark night sky.
During the battle, blood splashed all over the ground and corpses fell to the ground.
He spurred his horse through the alley, the long sword in his hand was already covered in blood. It spread out like a fiery flower, riding the wind from hell.
The doors to the outer hall of the Dry Clear Palace opened wide. From the outside, one could see a long flight of white jade stairs, which was the only way to reach the throne.
However, at the top of the stairs, there was a very familiar figure riding a horse. It remained silent and had obviously been waiting for a long time.
Xuanyuan Chen.
The biggest threat in this life.
Xuanyuan Jing frowned, he lowered his head, at this point, what was there that he couldn't understand?
Disregarding the fact that Emperor Xuanyuan had vomited blood before, whether he had fainted or not was a question of whether it was real. Since Xuanyuan Jing was able to appear here today, it meant that they had long since known that he would force their hand today.
All this seems to have been planned.
It was all in vain.
Xuanyuan Jing twiddled his fingers, his lips curling into an extremely cold smile, the imposing aura he had just gathered suddenly dissipated.
The advisor, Zhang Ce, who was behind him saw the King Jing and stopped in his tracks and asked worriedly: "My lord, what's wrong?"
"Zhang Ce, I'm afraid this king will fail to live up to your painstaking efforts." Xuanyuan Jing said indifferently.
Zhang Ce looked up and saw the figure with an imposing aura as though a ruler descending from the heavens. He was enlightened in his heart, but smiled faintly, and said: "For the sake of the Prince, I will offer my services, Zhang Ce will die with no regrets."
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Jing's brows furrowed, the hand holding onto the reins of the horse shook, and the horse galloped up the stairs, step by step.
He slowly walked as if he wasn't a loser but a person who was leisurely walking around.
When he was standing on the second level of the white jade stairs, Xuanyuan Jing stopped his horse from moving forward. He looked at the figure above and said loudly: "Third brother, how have you been?"
Xuanyuan Chen was wearing red clothes that were like fire, but in the dark night, it carried an additional oddity and mystery. He was riding a white horse, and his expression was grave.
However, Xuanyuan Jing was not in the mood to walk around with him and immediately went straight to the point. "This king has one thing to say, and I hope third brother can tell me.
Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Just say it directly, second brother."
"That day when royal father consumed the Soul-Breaking Grass, he was unconscious for three days before waking up. After third brother's wedding, royal father coughed blood and fainted again, is that true or false?" Xuanyuan Jing asked.
That day, he had clearly ordered the Imperial Doctor Hu to spread a layer of poison on the Soul-Breaking Grass, and he had even left the Dry Clear Palace after personally seeing his father consume it.
Could it be that the Imperial Doctor Hu had betrayed him?
Xuanyuan Chen smiled and said, "This king had long known that the Imperial Doctor Hu was Second Brother's man, so this king was careful. After that, when I went to the Yue Country to retrieve Soul-Breaking Grass, I did not only take one, but five. "
Xuanyuan Jing's pupils constricted. Soul-Breaking Grass s were precious herbs, it was not easy to get one from the Yue Country Imperial Palace, but Xuanyuan Chen could actually get five of them.
It seemed that he had still underestimated him.
"The first time royal father fainted was true, but the second time he fainted from spitting blood was false. The three heads' judgement was also the result of an agreement with royal father." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently.
"So you arranged for Xie Qingrong to be beheaded? Was it you guys who guessed that the King of Japan would force the palace into submission? " Xuanyuan Jing said in disbelief.
"This king had only thought about how Zhang Ce, your strategist, would advise you to force the palace, and take advantage of the temporary lack of sand in the palace to make the first move." Xuanyuan Chen explained, "What a pity, such a talented person."
What Xuanyuan Chen said was the truth. He had already analyzed the people around Xuanyuan Jing a long time ago, and used them to plot and scheme for Xuanyuan Jing.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to guess that Xuanyuan Jing would force his into a corner today.
If it was an ordinary prince, he would have already escaped without a trace. How would he have the courage to charge into the Imperial Palace with such a desperate gamble?
However, perhaps Xuanyuan Jing would choose to hide. Today, he had already made two plans and was waiting for the long term.
Xuanyuan Jing suddenly laughed at the sky. Although he was unwilling, he was completely convinced of Xuanyuan Chen's actions. Even though he knew Xuanyuan Chen's whereabouts like the back of his hand, he did not dare to guarantee that he knew the movements of the people around Xuanyuan Chen.
The victor was the king and the loser was the bandit. In today's battle, Xuanyuan Chen would become the number one person in Heavenly Sage Kingdom.
And he didn't intend to stubbornly resist.
He hoped that Ning Yu would be able to safely head north.
Xuanyuan Jing's expression instantly changed, there was not a single ray of light in his dark eyes, just like today's dark and gloomy night. There was not a single speck of starlight, which signified that today would not be an ordinary night.
Xuanyuan Chen did not miss the change in Xuanyuan Jing's expression, he was suspicious, he thought that once Xuanyuan Jing was exposed, he would lose and fight to the death with him.
But looking at his appearance, he seemed to have given up.
Something was not right!
Something was not right!
Xuanyuan Chen deeply furrowed his brows and thought about Xuanyuan Jing's actions today, as he attempted to unravel the mystery behind it. However, the more he thought about it, the tighter the thread wrapped around his head.
Just as he was deep in thought, the door to the main hall of the Dry Clear Palace opened. Xie Qingrong walked out step by step while supporting the Emperor Xuanyuan.
The Emperor Xuanyuan coughed lightly, interrupting Xuanyuan Chen's train of thought. He looked at Xuanyuan Jing who was on the second floor and said expressionlessly: "You forced yourself to Palace today, have you ever thought of ending up like this?"
