Chapter 322 Killing Wei Jiutong

The lights in Shuning Palace were bright, and thousands of fully armed imperial guards were guarding outside the palace gate. Wei Jiutong led more than 60 eunuchs to "protect" the emperor and the empress dowager.

In the bedroom, Cheng Haodong and several ministers were talking with the emperor and the empress dowager at night, taking turns to persuade them with threats and inducements. They knew that the longer the night, the more dreams there were. They had to persuade the little emperor as soon as possible to save their lives and save their glorious and rich future.

Cheng Haodong's face was sweating, veins on his neck were bulging, his mouth was dry, and his eyes were full of impatience.

"Sister, can your father and brother harm you and your son? If it weren't for the stability of the emperor's throne, and if it wasn't

for you, the empress dowager, to truly control the harem and rule the world, why would we risk our lives to do such a thing? Your Majesty, I believe that grandpa and uncle, we are conspiring to get rid of the ambitious Regent Zhao Defang for the sake of your everlasting rule.

Uncle, please issue the decree quickly! If it's too late and we lose the opportunity, we will all be punished by Zhao Defang later and we will be dead!"

Empress Dowager Zhaoning was so disgusted that she didn't want to even look at her elder brother. She closed her eyes and rested, motionless like a clay statue, without saying a word.

The young emperor Zhao Wuji was so angry that he started to curse: "You are the ones with the wolfish ambitions, right? My uncle and aunt will never harm me, and my grandfather and uncle will not risk their lives for my sake. Otherwise, when my father was forced to death, why didn't you take the lead in launching a coup to avenge my mother and me and put my nephew on the throne?" Yuli,

who was tied up and gagged, excitedly cheered for Wuji in her heart. [Good scolding! ]

Cheng Zhuang, who was already living in honor at home, glared at his little grandson angrily!

"What do you know, little kid? If the Cheng family hadn't preserved their strength, how could they be in charge of you and your son today?"

The little emperor Zhao Wuji stretched and yawned, and tried to delay the attack again. He said sleepily, "I appreciate your kindness. Let me think about it for a few more days. I'm sleepy. You can leave now!"

Cheng Haodong was so anxious that he was about to speak again, but he heard a commotion outside, followed by shouts of killing. Was

the matter exposed? Someone broke into the palace to protect the carriage? He was so frightened that his heart was pounding and he was terrified.

The young emperor Zhao Wuji immediately perked up, stood up excitedly and shouted to the outside, "I'm here!... The Empress Dowager is here too! Warriors outside, come and rescue the king!"

Cheng Haodong grabbed the little emperor who was shouting for help and covered his mouth, with a ferocious look on his face, "If you dare to shout again, I'll strangle you to death!"

"Let him go!" The Empress Dowager Zhaoning, who had been closing her eyes and resting, shouted coldly. "Cheng Haodong, if you dare to hurt the emperor, I will punish all nine clans of your Cheng family!"

Cheng Haodong shuddered and quickly pulled the little emperor up from the ground. He still covered his mouth with his hand and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Sister, what are you talking about? Aren't the nine clans of our Cheng family also your nine clans?"

Hearing the shouting and killing outside, Cheng Zhuang was also frightened at this time, and hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Daughter, don't be angry when your family's bones are broken. Your elder brother was also anxious because of you two stupid mother and son, so he lost his temper.

Haodong, let go of the emperor quickly.

Emperor, come to grandpa, don't be afraid of assassins, grandpa will protect you at the cost of his life."

"Ah!... You little brat, why did you bite me?" Cheng Haodong screamed in pain, shook his bloody hand and cursed again.

"Bah!... The blood of a person with a black conscience is extremely smelly, and it has stained my teeth." Xiao Wuji ran to his mother's side, spitting out blood-stained saliva and cursed back.

Yuli, who was lying in the corner of the wall, praised in her heart, "Wuji, good job!"

Wei Jiutong, the chief eunuch, had his pupils shrank. The arrows shot by the imperial guards were blown back by the old Taoist's robe embroidery and hit the imperial guards archers. Who is this evil Taoist? How can his internal strength be so strong?

More than sixty eunuch guards surrounded the three figures and fought. The middle-aged scholar-like man wielded a sword like a dragon emerging from the sea or a phoenix dancing in the sky. His powerful internal force was so strong that he would kill a person with a sword, and then blood mist would spray out.

The old man, who was frail and frail, had swift and strange movements. The pair of judge's pens in his hands were like two little ghosts seeking their lives, and the eunuch guards around him retreated in fear.

Even the child, who was only a dozen years old, had superb swordsmanship and was quite a master. The three eunuch guards had already fallen under his sword.

Wei Jiutong, the chief eunuch, is the best martial artist in the palace. Except for the fact that Regent Zhao Defang makes him a little jealous, he thinks his martial arts can rank first in the capital.

Where did these hermits come from today? He is confident that he can suppress the old man and the kid, but if he faces the evil Taoist and the scholar, he still knows his own limitations. He is not a match for them. The difference is not just a little bit.

Regent Zhao Defang's master is Feng Xuanzi from Penglai Fairy Island, a legendary figure who can only be seen from the beginning but not the end. Yes! It must be someone from his master's school. This evil Taoist whose kung fu has gone beyond the scope of human must be his master Feng Xuanzi, and the scholar with unparalleled martial arts is probably his uncle Wu Chizi?

Wei Jiutong felt a chill of fear on his back, and his pupils under the light were tense and contracted. Suddenly, he turned around and flew into the bedroom.

Luo Li was protected by Hong Gu and Mo Ming, lying on the roof of the South Palace, watching the battle below.

Seeing Feng Xuanzi dancing with his sleeves waving in his robe, his posture was so beautiful and powerful, and he secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he had to coax this hermit into submission. This is an invincible killer that can save the life of this princess at a critical moment!

Wei Jiutong rushed into the bedroom and grabbed the little emperor who was leaning against the Empress Dowager. His white and beardless face showed a ferocious expression. "Today, I will use you as a shield and amulet to save my life!"

Wu Ji kicked his legs desperately and was carried out by Wei Jiutong.

"Give me back my son!..." The Empress Dowager shouted in fear and rushed to stop him, but was thrown to the ground by her elder brother.

"Empress Dowager, please don't make trouble." Cheng Haodong's voice was cold and ruthless.

The other ministers in the room were trembling with fear at this moment, and they were looking forward to the imperial guards outside to kill the assassins quickly.

"Stop! Look who this is?" A sharp voice was sent out with internal force, extremely sharp and piercing.

"If you dare to break into the palace again, I will kill the little emperor!" Wei Jiutong held the little emperor with one hand and strangled the little emperor's collar with the other hand. As long as he twisted it, the little emperor would die.

In the wide open space in front of the palace, there were corpses lying all over the ground. After the opponent stopped, the remaining five or six hundred imperial guards quietly retreated to the wall. The remaining dozen or so eunuch guards also stepped back, pointing their weapons at the opponent in alert.

Luo Li, who was lying on the roof of the South Palace, secretly cursed Wei Jiutong, the dead eunuch, for being too insidious and shameless. With a thought, she took out the sniper rifle that had not been used for a long time from the space.

Seeing the young lady's magic weapon again, Hong Gu's expression did not change, but Mo Ming, who was lying on the left side of the princess, widened his eyes in surprise: "The princess can also perform magic tricks?

" Luo Li aimed at Wei Jiutong, waiting for the opportunity to kill him with one shot.

Seeing that the people on the opposite side dared not move, Wei Jiutong laughed triumphantly.

"Aren't you here to save the little emperor? Now, the emperor's life is in my hands. If you dare to move, I will twist his head off and make the little emperor die immediately before he even sits on the throne!"

Wei Jiutong's words did not scare the four assassins on the opposite side, but it did scare the five or six hundred imperial guards who were still alive.

They were all stunned. It turned out that the assassins came to rescue the emperor, and they, the imperial guards, were not ordered to surround the Shuning Palace to protect the emperor and the empress dowager. They were deceived into becoming accomplices of the traitors.

The imperial guards who had come to their senses glared at their leader, "General Pang, what's going on?" "General Pang,

the assassins are here to rescue the emperor. What are we, the imperial guards?"

"General Pang, are you in cahoots with this traitor who holds the emperor hostage?!"

Facing the questioning of his subordinates, General Pang's face turned pale. He raised the knife in his hand and roared fiercely, "Shut up! Now that your palace has been surrounded and people have been killed, it has become an established fact that you are traitors. We are all grasshoppers tied to a rope. If the coup fails, no one will survive."

The imperial guards were in an uproar. If they, who were responsible for guarding the palace, became traitors, their entire clan would be exterminated!

"Brothers, let's not be traitors, let's kill this bastard who deceived us!" Someone shouted, and the angry imperial guards rushed towards General Pang and his dozen close confidants with their weapons.

Wei Jiutong heard the noise, turned his head to the right, and secretly said, "Not good!" Raising the right hand that was holding the little emperor's neck, he commanded the eunuch guards under his command, "You, hurry! Go and help General Pang to suppress the rebellious soldiers!"

Luo Li pulled the trigger steadily...

"Bang!..." The sound of the gunshot was lost in the noisy and chaotic calls. Wei Jiutong's eyebrows were shot, and his body was pushed back by a huge force...

Feng Xuanzi and Wu Chizi, who had deep internal strength, looked back at the roof. Then, Wu Chizi flew over the stunned eunuch guards, grabbed the little emperor, and held him in his arms.

"Eunuch Wei is dead! Run for your life!" A eunuch guard shouted in horror, turned around and ran towards the high wall.

How could Old Cai and Xiao Jintai let them escape? They chased them and killed them.
