Zhu Wen didn't suspect anything; after all, he had just finished talking with Zhu Yougui, and it was normal for him to turn back if something came up...
"My son, if only you were here. Go and lead the troops to suppress all those private soldiers..."
Upon hearing Zhu Wen's order, Zhu Yougui feigned shock and asked...
"Father, do you mean to kill all those private soldiers?"
"These private soldiers dare to rebel. Since they are not to my use, let's kill them all..."
Zhu Wen's cruel words sent a chill down the spines of those around him...
"Father, this..."
"What? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Before Zhu Yougui could finish speaking, Zhu Wen coldly interrupted him and reprimanded him!
"Yes, Father..."
Zhu Yougui didn't continue speaking, but obediently agreed. Then he heard Zhu Wen say something extremely lewd.
"My beauty, I've arrived..."
This caused Zhu Yougui's expression to shift continuously, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he shouted loudly as soon as he stepped outside.
"Men, assemble the Imperial Guards and come with me to quell the rebellion..."
The order was quickly passed down. When Pang Shigu and Ding Hui heard that the imperial guards were to be transferred, they immediately realized something was wrong and rushed to Zhu Wen's bedroom without stopping...
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Zhu Yougui for the first time, Pang Shigu couldn't help but ask a question, feeling that the matter of the Imperial Guard was definitely related to Zhu Yougui...
"My father has ordered me to lead troops to quell the rebellion..."
Zhu Yougui said calmly!
"Leading troops? Suppressing a rebellion? Which troops to lead? Which rebellion to suppress?"
Pang Shigu frowned and asked!
"Don't you know? Those private soldiers have rebelled and are now charging towards the Prince of Jin's residence. I have been ordered by the King to lead troops to quell the rebellion..."
Zhu Yougui replied calmly!
"Nonsense! Even if it's to quell a rebellion, you can't mobilize the Imperial Guard. What if something happens to the Prince of Jin?"
Pang Shigu immediately rebuked him…
"Military Advisor Pang, if I don't bring my personal guards, who do you want me to lead to quell the rebellion? Am I supposed to go alone? Are you hoping I'll go and die alone...?"
After being rebuked by Zhu Yougui's words, Pang Shigu was taken aback for a moment, but he still spoke righteously.
"No matter what, the Imperial Guard is the most important force around Prince Jin. How can we guarantee Prince Jin's safety if they are taken away?"
Pang Shigu persisted relentlessly!
"Those people are almost at Prince Jin's residence. Where do you expect me to gather troops now? If there's no support, won't these imperial guards still have to face the rebels once they arrive? What's the difference between me leading the imperial guards to quell the rebellion now and them waiting here for the rebels to arrive before fighting them?"
Zhu Yougui looked at Pang Shigu with a questioning tone and asked!
"this…"
Pang Shigu was speechless for a moment, while Ding Hui, standing beside him, objected.
"As long as the Imperial Guard is still by Prince Jin's side, they can protect him no matter what danger he encounters. If you take the Imperial Guard away, what will you do if there is danger again?"
Zhu Yougui, however, remained indifferent. He turned to his father inside the house and said...
"Father, should we lead troops to quell the rebellion? Please give the order..."
"My son, you should lead the troops to quell the rebellion. If you let these private soldiers, who are like rats, storm into the palace, wouldn't I lose all face?"
Upon hearing Zhu Wen's words, a cold smile appeared on Zhu Yougui's lips. He glanced at Pang Shigu and Ding Hui, then turned and left with his personal guards, leaving only a few men to ensure Zhu Wen's safety.
"Prince Jin, this will put you in danger, it's too dangerous..."
Pang Shigu wanted to continue persuading Zhu Wen, but Zhu Wen had no time to pay attention to them at this moment, and confidently said...
"Do you think anyone in Taiyuan Prefecture would dare to assassinate me?"
Hearing Zhu Wen's words, Pang Shigu and Ding Hui were both helpless. They felt that Zhu Wen was being arrogant and conceited, but they dared not speak out. After all, everyone knew Zhu Wen's personality, and if they really spoke out, they probably wouldn't see the sun rise the next day...
Zhu Yougui took the lead, charging into the private army with his personal guards. These men were merely a hastily assembled motley crew, a rabble in themselves…
They were only instigated by someone with ulterior motives, which led them to recklessly storm the Prince's mansion. Now, being attacked by the elite guards, they were like wolves among sheep, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The fighting had barely begun when a group of men in black silently infiltrated the Prince's mansion...
By the time someone screamed, the palace was already a river of blood; many maids and servants were already dead beyond any doubt…
"There's an assassin..."
After Ding defeated a ninja, he shouted loudly. This roar immediately alerted the entire guard force of the palace, and the personal guards immediately gathered outside Zhu Wen's room...
But when all the guards arrived, they discovered that the number of soldiers had decreased significantly, clearly indicating that they had been killed by the ninjas…
Countless darts suddenly appeared, and a large number of the unsuspecting guards fell to the ground...
"Japanese ninjas, everyone be careful..."
Pang Shigu immediately recognized the throwing star as a type of slingshot commonly used by ninjas…
The next moment, they saw ninjas everywhere, whether on the rooftops or in unknown corners. This immediately made Pang Shigu and Ding Hui's hearts sink, feeling that this was too much of a coincidence...
Zhu Yougui had just led most of his personal guards away when so many ninjas stormed into the palace…
"Where are the guards...?"
Just then, Zhu Wen's voice rang out, and then dozens of people rushed out from various hidden locations in the Prince's mansion. These people were covered in black armor, even their faces were obscured...
The moment these people appeared, they rushed towards the ninjas and began fighting them, who had hidden themselves...
Although these suddenly appearing guards were powerful, there were simply too many ninjas, and countless projectiles were still fired at the Imperial Guards...
"Ding Hui, summon my son back to protect me..."
Upon hearing Zhu Wen's words, Ding Hui and Pang Shigu exchanged a glance. Both suspected that these ninjas were summoned by Zhu Yougui, and that calling for Zhu Yougui's protection now would be utterly useless...
"Prince Jin, the Crown Prince, he..."
Ding Hui wanted to analyze the situation for Zhu Wen, but Zhu Wen roared angrily.
"Go quickly..."
"Yes, Prince Jin, I will go immediately..."
Without further hesitation, Ding Hui rushed out of the Prince of Jin's residence and ran straight towards Zhu Yougui's location...
The guards' resistance was quickly suppressed; one man against many, the guards were simply too few in number…
The advantage is gradually tilting towards the ninjas' side...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
From a distance, Ding Hui shouted loudly at Zhu Yougui…
At this moment, Zhu Yougui was clearing out the remaining private soldiers. A small number of them had already fled when they saw the situation was not good, but most of them were executed on the spot.
Upon hearing Ding Hui's call, Zhu Yougui sneered, but his expression quickly turned cold and stern...
