Chapter 542 Protecting the Emperor! Bloodlust?

"You tyrant, prepare to die—"

The heir of Marquis Wu of Wei shouted loudly, drew the soft sword hidden at his waist, and leaped forward to stab.

Chen Yi led four squads of Imperial Guards to the Fourth Prince's residence.

Today, amidst this feast of wine and meat, even all the guards surrounding this tyrant combined are no match for Marquis Wu of Wei and his son.

He, Marquis Wu of Wei, was not only a great general who guarded the border for thirty years.

He was also the most skilled martial artist in the entire Great Chu, unmatched by anyone else.

How could his eldest son be such an ordinary person?

Seeing that his son had made a move, Marquis Wu of Wei had no choice but to get up.

With a single turn, he swung his short sword, and the four guards behind him fell to the ground in an instant.

The entire scene of wine, meat, and carnage instantly descended into chaos.

The servants of each household protected their masters, and some, in their panic, tumbled into the pool.

The heir of Marquis Wu of Wei has also arrived on the stage.

The Chu Emperor barely managed to dodge, and the prince's sword nearly pierced his throat.

He rolled to the ground, and as Eunuch Ji cried out in alarm, "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" the Chu Emperor swiftly picked up the sword from the ground and personally raised his hand to strike.

All the guards rushed out.

However, few could get close to the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei.

One by one, they were killed by the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei and fell to the ground. As the number of people surrounding the Chu Emperor dwindled, the Chu Emperor's expression remained completely calm.

The heir of Marquis Wu of Wei had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

Why is this tyrant still so calm and composed?

It was as if they had anticipated what would happen, and they were not worried about the situation that followed.

Was he truly confident, or... was it all part of his plan?

Although the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei felt that the Chu emperor was more of a fool, the thought of his methods made his heart skip a beat.

His eyes darkened, and he swiftly dealt with all the guards on the stage.

"You are a tyrannical ruler, cruel and heartless, indiscriminately killing the innocent and persecuting the loyal—"

"For many years, you have not only accomplished nothing, but you have also brought disaster to the entire Great Chu, making the people suffer. The border soldiers are also suffering because of your extravagant spending and embezzlement of military pay."

"Today I will act on behalf of Heaven and kill you, you tyrant!"

As he raised his sword again and approached the Chu Emperor, a figure in silver armor, wielding a long sword, emerged from the darkness beside him.

With a 'clang', the sword blocked the killing move of the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei.

This man was unusually tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long, straight mantis legs. His murderous aura was palpable and seemed to rival that of a sword.

Upon seeing him, the hairs on the body of the Marquis of Wei Wu's heir stood on end involuntarily.

This person's martial arts skills are definitely no less than mine.

"You are Li Wu?"

So that tyrannical ruler was fearless because this person still existed?

Duan Rong asked, "Who am I? What does it have to do with you, Marquis Wu of Wei, and your son's regicide and rebellion?"

"Anyway, today, you will all die by my sword."

The heir apparent of Marquis Wu of Wei: "You! Ignorant fool, spouting arrogant words. Do you really think you can take down my son and me?"

"court death!"

Meanwhile, the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei and Duan Rongshi began a one-on-one fight.

Meanwhile, Marquis Wu of Wei nearly wiped out all the guards who rushed at him.

He was covered in blood, as if he had returned to the battlefield, facing a massive enemy army, not the people he had once defended with his life.

He killed batch after batch.

Driven by a bloodthirsty rage, they ended up killing anyone who came near them without mercy.

The other officials and their families were so frightened by the scene that they were about to wet themselves.

The families huddled together, and those who could run quickly headed towards the bamboo forest.

Those who can't escape should hide in a corner.

But the royal relatives sitting in high positions could not escape at all.

For example, the Seventh Princess.

For example, the sixth prince, Zongzheng Wuheng.

The other princes and princesses were trapped in the middle, unable to escape, and dared not rush forward to rescue the emperor.

In front is a pool of wine already stained with human blood, and behind it is an artificial hill.

Above is a high platform where the heir of Marquis Wu of Wei resides.

Below, Marquis Wu of Wei was already bloodthirsty.

Blocked on all sides, these princes and princesses had no way to escape.

But Zongzheng Wuheng knew that there must be a way to deal with the master and disciple in Miao territory!

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Zongzheng Wuheng scolded Jinhua and Aduo.

This Ado was connected to his life, and he was terrified that anything might happen to her.

Otherwise, the master and apprentice wouldn't care even if they were chopped into mincemeat.

But they remained calm and composed, sitting in place, only looking at Li Qingluo, who was equally unperturbed.

Let's not even mention that Li Qingluo is a madwoman; what kind of ruthless things wouldn't this woman do?

Zongzheng Wuheng even strongly suspected that everything that happened tonight against the Fourth Prince was probably orchestrated by her.

But I don't want to keep struggling to the point of exhaustion.

At least, now is not the time.

"If you don't leave, I'll reveal your identities—"

Zongzheng Wuheng had no choice but to threaten Jinhua and her disciples.

A'duo got up, picked up a glass of wine, and poured some of it into Zongzheng Wuheng's glass in front of him.

Then he walked over and, ignoring Zongzheng Wuheng's resistance, pinched his mouth and forced him to swallow the food.

"Go to sleep."

She murmured softly, and Zongzheng Wuheng's head quickly drooped limply.

"What did they do to my sixth brother—?"

The Seventh Princess was already terrified, but she unintentionally witnessed A'duo drugging Zongzheng Wuheng.

She hurriedly got up to go over, but Li Qingluo grabbed her tightly.

"Princess, Marquis Wu of Wei has already attacked."

Looking up, they saw that Marquis Wu of Wei was indeed charging towards them.

Does he want to kill a few more princes or princesses to vent his anger?

The seventh princess turned pale with fright: "What should we do?"

"Father, I'm worried about you—"

Li Qingluo: "You should worry about yourself first!"

With Duan Rongshi around, the Chu Emperor would definitely not die tonight.

But if the seventh princess doesn't leave soon, she can't guarantee her own life.

Thinking of this, Li Qingluo grabbed the Seventh Princess and quickly ran towards the artificial hill.

There are no holes at the bottom of this artificial hill, so if you want to hide on it, you have to climb up.

While the Seventh Princess was still trembling with fear, Li Qingluo had already nimbly stepped onto the platform in a few steps.

The sparrow followed closely behind.

The two lowered their heads again, and a group of people below were looking up at them.

Jinhua and Aduo also pushed Zongzheng Wuheng over.

The two abandoned Zongzheng Wuheng and quickly went up the artificial hill.

The seventh princess frantically tried to climb up, but no matter what she did, she couldn't.

Before Li Qingluo could speak, the maids and nannies beside the Seventh Princess hurriedly said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and carry the princess up!"

"Lady Nangong, don't forget your status. You are nothing but a merchant's wife. The princess's favor today, allowing you to serve by her side, is a blessing for you. Don't you know how to be grateful and repay the princess?"

"Get down here right now, or you'll be held responsible later!"
