Volume 1 Chapter 46 Designing Bamboo

Shangguan Xiuzhu twisted her body and said coquettishly, "What does the emperor want in order to spare me?"

Xiang Yun pinched his chin, smiled and said, "A woman who enters the palace at night will either become a dead body or become my woman. What do you think you should choose?"

"Ah~ My harem just needs a beautiful woman like you who is skilled in martial arts. So, you can stay in the palace and be a queen!"

Shangguan Xiuzhu's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she took a step back involuntarily. But she changed her mind and smiled without changing her expression: "Being the emperor's woman is something that many women in the world dream of. This girl couldn't ask for it more."

As Shangguan Xiuzhu spoke, she began to take off the clothes on her shoulders, revealing her slightly fragrant shoulders. There was a faint seductive smile on her face, looking extremely seductive.

"Well, not bad, you're quite sensible." Xiang Yun was very satisfied and walked forward and pretended to pick up Shangguan Xiuzhu.

But at this moment, Shangguan Xiuzhu's expression turned cold, and he suddenly jumped up, took out a sharp dagger from his waist, and quickly put it on Xiang Yun's neck.

"You dog emperor, if you dare to move again, I will kill you!"

Xiang Yun immediately didn't dare to move, but the smile on his face never faded.

Seeing this scene, tens of thousands of imperial guards in the Golden Throne Hall raised their bows and arrows and aimed at Shangguan Xiuzhu on the roof. If she dared to cross the line, she would be shot into a sieve in an instant.

Shangguan Xiuzhu quickly hid behind Xiang Yun and used his body as a cover.

Xiang Yun said calmly: "Don't waste your energy. You only have one way to go. Otherwise, even if you kill me, you can't leave this palace!"

"You dog emperor, you are dreaming! I thought you were a wise and powerful emperor, but I didn't expect you to be as shameless and vulgar as ordinary men!"

Shangguan Xiuzhu was extremely angry and shouted, "Let them all retreat, or I will pierce your thigh first!"

Xiang Yun heard this and shouted, "Alright, all of you leave. You have nothing to do tonight. I want to have a long talk with Miss Shangguan all night long. You can go home and be with your wives!"

Under the throne, Xuanyuan Dabing immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Retreat, return to the barracks!"

These royal guards came quickly and left quickly. They disappeared without a trace in ten breaths, as if they had never appeared.

This scene made Shangguan Xiuzhu dumbfounded. She even doubted whether the hostage in her hands was the emperor. Aren’t these troops afraid that she would really kill the emperor?

Just when Shangguan Xiuzhu was stunned, Xiang Yun suddenly turned around, hugged Shangguan Xiuzhu, and kissed his pretty face!

“Ah~!”

This really pissed off Shangguan Xiuzhu. He screamed, then his eyes widened instantly, and he kicked Xiang Yun in the stomach, shouting, "How dare you be so frivolous to me? I'll kill you!"

Xiang Yun quickly dodged to the side. He had been bored these days and had practiced a lot of skills from the "Great Sun Emperor Sutra". Although he had little practical experience, he could still deal with such an attack.

After Xiang Yun dodged, he took several steps back and shouted, "I'm so handsome, you really don't have to be so desperate."

Shangguan Xiuzhu became even angrier. He raised his hand and picked up the two daggers that he had thrown away. His eyes were cold and he stared at Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun stopped smiling after seeing this and said in a cold voice: "If I were you, I would never pick up a weapon! The moonlight is beautiful tonight. If you stay here with me and enjoy the moonlight, maybe I will let you go tomorrow!

But if you pick up a weapon and want to kill me, that's another matter. I can't even guarantee what will happen next, so you have to think it over carefully!"

Shangguan Xiuzhu pointed her short sword at Xiang Yun and snorted, "So what if you are the emperor? No one has ever dared to treat me so frivolously in my life. I will kill you today!"

"Alas, it's hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words! If that's the case, then it's not my fault!"

After Xiang Yun finished speaking, he whistled, and the tiles and wood under Shangguan Xiuzhu's feet suddenly collapsed. She immediately lost her balance, screamed, and fell into the Golden Palace.

At the same time, a large number of masked men in black rushed out and sealed all the doors of the Golden Throne Hall in an instant, leaving no exits.

Then someone threw black balls into the Golden Palace one by one. They rolled to Shangguan Xiuzhu's side, and a large amount of pungent smoke soon emanated from the black balls.

By the time Shangguan Xiuzhu reacted, she had already inhaled a large amount of smoke, and the pungent smell made her cough continuously.

Seeing that everything was successfully implemented, Xiang Yun ordered: "You all leave."

In the darkness of the night, a large number of men in black instantly dispersed. These were the members of the Anbu arranged by Xiang Yun, and everything was for tonight's plan.

Xiang Yun then jumped down from the hole on the top of the Golden Palace. Relying on his strong body, he rolled on the ground a few times and then stabilized his body. Although it was a little painful, it was not serious.

Xiang Yun left Shangguan Xiuzhu coughing on the side while he went to light the red candles in the four corners of the hall himself.

The firelight illuminated the scene inside the Golden Palace. Shangguan Xiuzhu was half-kneeling on the ground with two swords in his hands, his brows tightly frowned, and he looked very uncomfortable.

Shangguan Xiuzhu said with some difficulty: "What did you do to me, how could it be..."

"Do you feel sore and weak all over, and extremely weak?"

Xiang Yun smiled proudly and said, "I have long reminded you not to take the sword. The secret guards are not vegetarians. But since you don't want to drink the wine, you can't blame me."

"Did you see the smoke just now? That is the Qiying Cartilage Powder specially made by the secret guards. Not only will you have the symptoms just now, but you may also die of rotting all over your body!"

Shangguan Xiuzhu turned pale upon hearing this, and cursed fiercely: "What kind of emperor are you? You actually use such a despicable thing. It's really despicable!"

Xiang Yun shook his head and said in a cold voice: "You can't say that. First of all, the palace is my home. You came here uninvited, and you can still blame me?

Do you really think I'm so easy to bully? You can come and go as you please. How can I do this without paying a price?

Second, if you are truly a loyal and virtuous woman, the worst that can happen is that you can just endure it for four hours. You will just die, so what are you afraid of?

Trespassing into the palace and attacking the emperor at night is a capital crime. I have shown you special mercy!

Did you see what happened to Dongfang Ye just now? If he was lucky enough to end his life on his own, he would be blessed. Otherwise, he would have to stay in the Sky Prison until his death, never seeing the light of day, and eating leftovers and rotten vegetables all day long!

You really have the guts! You are just a bunch of street thugs who have learned some tricks, yet you dare to defy the emperor's authority and run to the top of the Golden Palace to compete in martial arts. You are truly so daring!

If I let you leave safely, where is the dignity of the court, where is the dignity of the royal family, where is my dignity!"

Shangguan Xiuzhu was actually a little intimidated by Xiang Yun's domineering attitude.

Shangguan Xiuzhu cursed angrily, then forced herself to stand up, holding two swords in hand and rushing towards Xiang Yun: "You shameless fellow, even if I die today, I will take you away first, so that you won't harm others again!"

Shangguan Xiuzhu is indeed a well-known master in the martial arts world. Even if he was drugged, he could still kill people, that's all.

Seeing Shangguan Xiuzhu approaching, Xiang Yun was not panicked at all. He raised his right thumb to his mouth and bit it hard, causing a small bleeding wound. Then he laughed, "I don't believe that you can beat me even though you are sore and weak all over!"

Then Xiang Yun made a very showy pose and shouted, "Use blood as a guide, and combine the armor!"

A flash of light appeared, and the Ming Guang Armor appeared on Xiang Yun's body little by little in an instant. In this dimly lit Golden Palace, the light of the Ming Guang Armor made Xiang Yun look even more majestic.

"Great Sun Emperor Sword, come out!" Xiang Yun pulled out the Great Sun Emperor Sword from the air and slashed it forward fiercely.

The timing was just right, the Emperor Sword and the two daggers clashed against each other, sparks flew in the dim Golden Throne Hall, but the next moment Shangguan Xiuzhu was exhausted and was chopped away by Xiang Yun's sword.

"Miss Shangguan, stop it. You are no match for me in this state." Xiang Yun reminded kindly.

Shangguan Xiuzhu had a gloomy face and said nothing. He prepared his attack again and attacked again.

Since she didn't listen to the kind reminder, Xiang Yun would not give in to her this time.

Xiang Yun was hitting her while rubbing her body. Because Shangguan Xiuzhu was weak all over, her movements were very slow, so as the fight went on, not only did she fail to hit Xiang Yun with her sword, but she felt even weaker all over.

Coupled with the effect of the drug, gradually, looking at Xiang Yun's majestic appearance in the Ming Guang armor, he actually felt that he was charming and handsome.

The two men fought with swords for a few more moves. Shangguan Xiuzhu finally couldn't hold on any longer. He breathed rapidly and threw his two swords to the ground.

Staring at Xiang Yun in the distance.

Xiang Yun was delighted to see this scene. With a wave of his hand, the Ming Guang Armor and the Great Sun Emperor Sword disappeared. He then sat down not far from Shangguan Xiuzhu.

The two of them were facing each other, and Xiang Yun kept staring at her with a smile on his face. He wanted to see how capable Shangguan Xiuzhu was!

Five minutes later, Shangguan Xiuzhu's breathing became very rapid and he felt weak all over.

Xiang Yun was not in a hurry at all. He just looked at her with smugness in his eyes, feeling very comfortable.
