I saw a large number of royal guards surrounding the Holy Church and arresting the core members and backbones of the Holy Church.
The saint frowned. According to the time calculation, from the time of the assassination at Yumen Tower, the time it took to notify the Royal Forest Army to come to the academy was definitely not as fast as her secretly coming.
In other words, the Yulin Army has been waiting nearby for a long time, and will swarm in whenever the assassination at Yumen Tower occurs...
The assassination was exposed in advance!
After pondering for a moment, the figure disappeared into the darkness and went straight to the palace.
In the corner outside the Cining East Palace, the saint just poked her head out of the tunnel, her brows slightly furrowed.
Around here...
A black shadow flashed past.
"Not good!" The saint was shocked, there was a master waiting for her!
Wang Zhonghou's body flashed and he stabbed the saint with a long sword.
The saint stepped on the ground and flew into the air, looking down from the sky.
There are dozens of Xichang banners hidden outside the Cining East Palace. Wang Zhonghou is holding a long sword and looking up at her.
Exposed...
what to do……
Break in or escape...
He broke in and defeated these eunuchs very quickly. If he escaped... I'm afraid the Holy Religion would disappear. The Holy Lord had worked hard for several years...
Tangled.
Difficult.
Under the saint's veil, she bit her red lips tightly and took a deep breath to secretly increase her strength.
Within a few breaths, Wang Zhonghou felt an astonishing aura floating in the air, his eyes were gloomy and his face was as tense as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"Children, come together!"
He didn't dare to entrust him, so he called his sons to join him in the charge.
The saint's face remained calm and her heart did not beat. She faced dozens of Xichang bannermen with bare hands. Her aura rose higher and higher, and soon exceeded the height of Wang Zhonghou's burst.
"First-class martial artist!"
Wang Zhonghou murmured softly, exactly as he guessed.
Those above the first-class warriors are called martial arts masters, from the first to the ninth rank in ascending order. The ninth rank martial artist is the strongest in the world.
The sound of flesh colliding became louder and louder. Cining, who was taking a nap, felt his heart tremble when he heard the sound. This breath was so familiar.
When I opened the palace door, I was shocked.
"Wang Zhonghou! How dare you act wild outside this palace?!" Ci Ning pretended to be angry, but looked at the saint.
If you rush into the palace in such a hurry, could it be that there are changes outside the palace?
Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Zhonghou led his godson to surround the saint.
"Children, this person broke into the East Palace of the Queen Mother and attempted to attack the Queen Mother. Kill him!"
After a battle, the saint's two fists were unable to defeat her and her four hands kept retreating, and her breath became disordered.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The Holy Lady threw three flying swords at Cining. Wang Zhonghou, with quick eyesight and quick hands, pounced on the Queen Mother and knocked her away with his sword.
Taking advantage of this gap, the saint flew into the air and fled hastily...
"Wang Zhonghou! You are so brave!" Cining wanted to strike first.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhonghou ignored her at all and waved dozens of Xichang banners to surround the East Palace.
"The Queen Mother, the man who just planned to attack the East Palace was driven away by the old slave. To protect your safety, I left a special flag in the West Factory to guard the palace. The old slave went to plead guilty to Your Majesty..."
"Children, you must ensure the safety of the Queen Mother. No one is allowed to approach the East Palace! You must also check the pastries and tea..."
After saying this, Wang Zhonghou ignored Cining and left.
Looking at the flooded East Palace, Cining's eyes were gloomy, he was going to be placed under house arrest!
The little emperor dares to put me under house arrest?
Something must have happened outside the palace, otherwise the saint wouldn't be so panicked. Could it be that the assassination failed?
Cining was cut off from the information network and had no idea anything was going on with the Holy Cult. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Here, Zhu Youde returned to the palace and saw Wang Zhonghou waiting outside the palace with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, cough cough... cough cough..." Wang Zhonghou looked pale and covered his chest to report: "The Holy Lady really sneaked into the palace. If you hadn't arranged it in advance, I'm afraid I would have to report the news to the Queen Mother..."
He told Zhu Youde what had just happened.
Hearing this, Zhu Youde frowned, looked at Wang Zhonghou with worried eyes and said, "Go to the Imperial Hospital first and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat you. Don't damage your foundation."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Wang Zhonghou did not make excuses.
Just as the front foot left, the back foot came in.
"Your Majesty, I have taken control of the Holy Church and the Holy Temple, and arrested the main leaders and core members..."
"Very good! Put all the captured prisoners on death row and keep them under strict supervision. After one day, all believers of the Holy Religion will be put on death row! Kill them without mercy!"
Zhu Youde wrote an imperial order and ordered the four departments of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Jinyi Guards, and the Yulin Army to jointly eliminate the remnants of the Holy Religion.
In this way, not only will the connection between the inside and outside of the palace be cut off, leaving the Holy Religion without a leader, it will also cut off the foundation of the Holy Religion.
Later, Zhu Youde received another good news.
Cao Wang of Dongchang is back! He also brought back news about King Yan and King Han.
"Your Majesty, King Yan has left the fiefdom of King Han and returned to the North. According to the letter from King Han, there are a total of 200,000 troops and 100,000 Northern Liang cavalry in the two places. They have discussed raising troops when the war in the west becomes tense..."
Hearing this, Zhu Youde was happy.
If he had not made arrangements, the war in the Western Region might have been tense, but if enough gunpowder had been transported, the 100,000-strong army in the Western Region would have been in danger.
"You leave the palace and go to the firearms bureau secretly, and ask Tang Huo to prepare 30,000 rounds of firecrackers and enough gunpowder. Tomorrow you will personally lead a team and secretly send them to the Northwest Road."
"Give the military fire to the northwest governor Wu Jie..."
"Your Majesty, Wu Jie on the Northwest Road...?" Cao Wang hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Don't worry, you are my person."
Zhu Youde chuckled. As early as Wang Potian took office as the commander of the new army, he had asked him to secretly instigate a rebellion against Wu Jie, the northwest governor.
The Northwest Road is a crucial point in dealing with King Yan's uprising.
Cao Wang was ordered to retreat, and Zhu Youde went to Luo Xian's palace.
I've been staying at Tinghua Palace every day these past few days, and I've been somewhat neglecting the other wives.
In Kunning Palace, there was the sound of the piano and the sound of beauties playing constantly. Zhu Youde pushed the door open and entered. The twins of the Liu family were talking to Luo Xian with blushing faces.
After Zhu Youde's adjustment, several beauties chose to forgive the Liu family twins, and the harem remained harmonious.
"Are you two talking bad about me again?"
Zhu Youde pretended to glare at Liu Xiyue and the two sisters fiercely, and shouted: "Tell me, let me listen too!"
The Liu family twins looked at each other, lowered their heads, their faces were red, and they were holding on to their skirts with their jade hands, feeling very nervous.
"Your Majesty, I know what you said." Qian'er, who was sitting next to Qingyu studying the piano, said with a wink.
"Sister Liu was talking about the rope... Sister Queen said she had used it too... Oh, by the way, she also said that His Majesty is very strong and brave..."
Zhou Ruqian blinked her eyes, tilted her head and was still remembering. Qingyu on the side stopped playing the piano and quickly covered Qian'er's mouth.
"Your Majesty, Qian'er said nonsense..." Qingyu said shyly with a red face.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
Qingyu just let go of Qian'er and spoke again. She was so frightened that she quickly covered her head tightly.
Zhu Youde looked at the beauties, shook his head and chuckled helplessly. Other people's harems are full of intrigues, but my harem is not only filled with stunning beauties, they can also discuss the skills of the Dragon Collapse.
When you give birth to a son, you should be like Zhu Youde, holding the country on your left and the beauty on your right!
At the same time, on the Western Front, Wang Po and Wang Potian were discussing something...
