Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Silver Armored Soldiers
"Presumptuous, these unruly civilians, what are you doing? Kill, kill! Anyone daring to rush again, kill them all, execute one as a warning to a hundred!"
A commander of the Imperial Army came over and immediately shouted angrily upon seeing this scene, accusing the gate guard of negligence.
"But, they are all civilians without the strength to truss a chicken..."
"Humph, kill them too, what about the civilians? Just a bunch of unruly people! They dare to ruin the Great Princess’s important affair, then kill them all!"
The commander’s words were filled with murderous intent, causing fear in people’s hearts.
"Anyone daring to cause trouble again will be killed without pardon!"
After speaking, the commander raised his long knife and shouted loudly.
The civilians who rushed in hesitated, some cowardly retreated, but soon some started shouting, their words impassioned, feeling as if people were about to soar.
So, the civilians continued to charge at the South Palace Gate.
The place was in chaos.
Elsewhere, Li Qingmu and Broken Jade, Zhe Feng took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Imperial Palace.
Because the commotion at the South Palace Gate was so fierce, almost everyone headed there, resulting in weak guards at the other palace gates. Their martial arts were strong, allowing them to easily sneak in.
Meanwhile, outside the Golden Hall Square, the coronation ceremony was proceeding as planned.
You Su, clad in a splendid imperial robe, ascended the ninety-nine steps one by one. Behind him, the ministers knelt down, shouting praises for long life.
Ritual music played, songs and dances elegantly intertwined, and Ministry of Rites officials recited the coronation edict, solemn and dignified.
You Su looked at the ministers and servants kneeling below, a sense of unprecedented satisfaction filled his chest.
Previously, he was the State Preceptor, also of high status, but his interactions were mostly with Rong Si and some important ministers, never enjoying the taste of the masses celebrating.
Now, he tasted it.
This taste was so good, no wonder Rong Si coveted power so much.
Isn’t he the same?
Power is truly a poison, yet it tastes so good, the more you drink, the more you want, even if afterwards it leads to eternal damnation, he is willing to enjoy this feeling of being above the nine heavens.
"Long live the Emperor, long live, may the Emperor live thousands of years!"
The ministers below shouted loudly, their voices shaking the heavens.
Elsewhere, Li Qingmu and Zhe Feng arrived at a garden, observing the dense crowd in the Golden Hall Square from afar, as well as You Su standing on the steps, draped in an imperial robe, wearing a golden crown, with a stern face. Li Qingmu felt nothing, but Broken Jade clenched his fists tightly.
This bastard, beast, worse than pigs and dogs, made Master critically ill, almost dead.
Die, he must die!
Broken Jade stared at You Su with bloodshot eyes, then turned to Li Qingmu, nearly gnashing his teeth, "We should act now!"
"Don’t be hasty, haven’t you noticed, this place is a Heaven and Earth Net, as soon as we appear, we’ll be besieged!" Zhe Feng stopped him and said, "Wait, our people are arriving soon, when the time comes, inside and out will work together, we will certainly take down You Su!"
After speaking, he looked at Li Qingmu, "We can handle the others, you just need to break through You Su’s peerless martial arts."
"Okay!"
"Your Majesty, something’s wrong, Your Majesty!"
Just then, hurried footsteps came from beyond the palace walls, followed by several guards, each looking rushed, with their long knives broken in two, some were so frightened their hands holding the knives were shaking.
Rong Si, who was quietly watching the coronation, and showing satisfaction, immediately turned around and scolded, "Silence! How dare you make noise at the coronation ceremony? Guards, take them away!"
"Great Princess, I wasn’t making noise, they broke in, there’s a fearsome Silver Armored Soldiers unit, they broke in!"
"What did you say?"
Rong Si’s gaze became cold, staring at the guard who came to report.
The guard, disregarding Rong Si’s cold face, shouted loudly, "Silver Armored Soldiers! Those Silver Armored Soldiers are formidable, their knives are especially sharp. Our long knives are nothing against them, they cut ours like it’s nothing, we can’t resist. Great Princess forgive us, we... we can’t hold on much longer!"
"Useless, all of you are useless, can’t even fight some Silver Armored Soldiers..."
Rong Si suddenly paused there, Silver Armored Soldiers...
She recalled, the Dazhou Qi Imperial Family raised a group of Silver Armored Soldiers, trained in unknown ways, incredibly powerful. Their silver armor is the hardest in the world, impervious to blades and spears, and their martial arts are premier, even she might not defeat them!
But, they were not many, only a mere thousand.
Each one, having the courage of a thousand soldiers!
Such a group, ended up at Da Liang Palace?
Why hadn’t she heard anything before?
Of course, they must have used special means to get here, how could they let her know? But Rong Si never imagined, that man... would actually join forces with Tianxing Pavilion!
Remember, Tianxing Pavilion previously wanted to kill his most beloved son, doesn’t he have any resentment at all?
"Damn it! That beast!"
Rong Si, agitated, couldn’t hold back, cursing in anger.
The guards looked stupefied at the noble-looking, graceful woman before them, and now, she was swearing!
What kind of situation angered her so?
"Great Princess, what shall we do, what do we do?"
The guards called out for help, Rong Si coldly replied, "Defend, send out everyone, defend, we mustn’t let those Silver Armored Soldiers attack inside!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, another batch of soldiers withdrew from here to support outside.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Li Qingmu was also very surprised.
He saw in the distance, a group of people in silver armor furiously attacking the North Palace Gate, despite thousands of guard troops, proving helpless!
These Silver Armored Soldiers, he had seen once at the Great Zhou Palace, truly formidable, as if each person was a world. Whenever they raised and swung their long knives, it was forward without retreat, pushing through the path!
Now, this group was seen again at Da Liang Palace!
"Did he... make his move?"
An indescribable doubt lingered, but Li Qingmu knew time was precious, once missed, it would be hard to attack again, so he said, "Go!"
Broken Jade, having long waited impatiently, immediately sprang forward upon Li Qingmu’s command.
Then it was Zhe Feng and Li Qingmu, three people from three directions, rushed towards the Golden Hall Square.
Each of their qinggong was outstanding, like celestial beings descending, swiftly landing above three palaces, locking onto You Su’s three positions.
As for You Su’s back, that is, the North Palace Gate, it had been seized by the Silver Armored Soldiers.
In other words, You Su was surrounded!
However, You Su, surrounded, showed not a hint of fear, instead laughed heartily.
"My dear disciple, what, are you here to congratulate your Master? Good, good, good, your grand gift today, your master is very satisfied!"
After speaking, he waved his hand, suddenly, a huge net appeared from the sky, rapidly covering Li Qingmu’s position.
