Several masters in the palace were stunned.
Li Mu searched outside Kyoto and found no other assassins, so he turned around and returned to the palace.
"This matter cannot be made known to more people. It is best kept secret. No matter what the situation is with Xuanmen, we cannot afford to offend them for the time being."
In the emperor's study.
The commander of the guards and several eunuch chiefs stood in order.
"They are all from the Dugu family, including Dugu Xin's head."
The commander of the guards glanced at the other eunuchs in the room and bowed.
"Come up here and let me see."
The emperor's cheeks trembled.
The eyes of the other eunuchs were filled with excitement.
The threat from the Dugu family has really been eliminated.
The commander of the guards waved his hand, and several guards carried a box of heads into the study.
The small study was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood.
The emperor turned over each head and examined them carefully, fearing that he might have missed anything.
"Are they all dead?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The commander of the guards bowed.
"Haha~ That's great. So, the Dugu family's army is leaderless?"
"Yes, your majesty."
A glint of determination flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said, "Send troops immediately and capture these 500,000 troops."
"clear!"
"That's how the tide of battle turned!"
The old eunuch next to him said.
"We have to thank that person for taking action, otherwise we would not know how we died."
The emperor said angrily.
I didn’t expect that the Dugu family would have a saint-level master.
If it weren't for that person, the dynasty would probably have changed by now.
The noble families fighting outside will eventually perish.
But who is that person?
"Don't leak a single word about what happened tonight. Pretend nothing happened."
Suddenly a voice appeared in everyone's ears.
It was as if someone was talking in their ears.
"who……"
Everyone looked at each other, then looked at the eunuch.
The eunuch nodded.
Everyone was immediately delighted and showed respect.
"yes!"
Immediately, everyone bowed in response.
"Senior, could you please come and see us? We can thank you in person!"
The emperor suddenly stood up and bowed respectfully towards the void.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
"Your Majesty, the senior should leave."
After a while, an old eunuch reminded.
"Alas! Forget it. Since Senior doesn't want to see me, it must be that I didn't do a good enough job. Pass the order down. No one is allowed to reveal what happened tonight. Instruct the Imperial City Bureau to come up with a way to confuse the public."
"yes!"
"These human heads... let's find a place to bury them!"
The emperor originally wanted to hang these heads and corpses on the city wall for a while, but now it seems that he has no choice but to bury them deep.
I don’t know why the seniors want to keep it a secret, but I still have to listen to them.
Soon all departments in the palace started to operate.
