Chapter 410 Dragon Slaying in Dream
In the middle of the night, Emperor Shun was still immersed in his book case, and he did so almost every day for the past half month.The pregnant queen came to deliver a supper halfway, and knowing that the other party had to work for a few hours, she went back to the palace alone to rest.

Now it is the end of the month, the moonlight is not bright, and the entire imperial city is pitch black. Fortunately, the eunuchs and maids in the palace lit the palace lanterns early, and the guards also carried lanterns in their hands when they patrolled.

Since the founding of the Taizu Dynasty, several generations of emperors of the royal family have done their duty enough, and they often review the memorials until late at night, and this world was taken back from Bei Yuan, and there are very few so-called "remnants of the former dynasty" who assassinate the king.

Even Emperor Xiao Cun, who was usurped from the throne, was finally let go by Emperor Shun and became a monk in the temple. Naturally, those who supported him didn't have to risk their lives to fight the current emperor to the end.

……

"Hey, cheer up, I will be scolded again when the commander sees it later."

At the west gate of the palace, a guard reminded the other guard, who yawned and muttered:

"The Commander is too serious. I have been working here for so many years. Where did I meet someone who dared to break into the palace gate? Oh, yes, the Eighth Prince did break in, but didn't he stop him?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, this matter is the second of the three things Commander Zou can't mention in his life."

"What's the first thing?"

"Yes……"

"If you don't stay on duty, what are you talking about?" Behind them, a majestic voice suddenly sounded.

The two guards turned their heads when they heard the sound, and said with smiles on their faces:
"Commander Zou, are you here?"

Zou Shun, who was the commander of Ouchi's guards, let out a light "hmm", and suddenly smiled on his serious face and said:

"I heard that you really want to know which thing I can't mention the most?"

"I don't think so."

The previous guard was complaining in his heart at this time, and he also blamed himself for being cheap, saying that he had nothing to do with it.

"It's okay, it's okay to tell you."

As Zou Shun said, his right foot suddenly lifted up without warning, and he kicked the opponent's calf with his toe. The latter immediately groaned, squatted down and covered his left leg.

"It hurts, I have suffered this pain for eight years, until that young lady went to the border." Zou Shun smiled with a smile on his face.

"Understand the humble job, the adults bear the humiliation and bear the burden, it is a role model for our generation."

The guard blushed from the pain, but still resisted flattery, Zou Shun continued:

"The most taboo in the palace is to keep your mouth open. How many people died in a few days because they said something they shouldn't. It's okay for you to talk about me behind my back, but don't be bold enough to talk about the royal family."

Zou Shun seemed to be physically punishing his subordinates, but in fact he was beating them. A blow to the calf was better than losing his life. The surrounding guards also knew that the general treated them well, so they all lowered their heads and reflected seriously.

Zou Shun has been able to reach his current position. Apart from his dedication to his duties, the most important thing is that he has sharp eyesight. The most important thing for a person is self-knowledge. No matter how high Zou Shun's status is, he still knows that he is still a watchdog of the royal family. You have to do it well, and you must not overdo it.

Seeing that his subordinates were doing well, Zou Shun nodded, intending to continue to lead troops to patrol other places. At this moment, a breeze blew by. Zou Shun looked up suspiciously, but saw that the sky had been covered by dark clouds at some point.

"It's really weird."

Muttering something in a low voice, Zou Shun stepped forward.

……

In the imperial study room, Emperor Shun was still reviewing the memorial, and a slight breeze blew in from the slightly open window. Emperor Shun felt sleepy, and his eyelids were fighting. There was nothing he could do, so he put the imperial pen aside, He gathered his robe, lay down on the dragon case, and planned to rest for a while.

In the dream, Emperor Shun was still in the palace, he was sitting on the high dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but there was no one in the audience.

Just when he was about to get up, he heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, step by step, the sound was not loud, but every step was stepping on his heart.

Emperor Shun felt his heart beating wildly, as if something big was about to happen.

Not long after, a figure appeared at the door. The visitor was dressed in dark red clothes. Seeing that the emperor on the dragon chair neither knelt down nor opened his mouth, he continued to walk forward step by step until he reached the steps. Lightly said:

"Are you the current emperor?"

Only then did Emperor Shun see the other person's appearance clearly. Not only was this person wearing a red dress, but even his hair and eyebrows were red, and even the depths of his pupils showed red light from time to time, and his whole body was filled with a strange feeling. .

Emperor Shun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was not flustered, and calmly said:

"Who are you, and why did you appear in my morning court?"

"Me?" The man's stern face teased a little, "The name of this deity is not worthy of being known by mere mortals. You just need to know that today this deity is here to slay dragons."

After the red-haired man finished speaking, he jumped up. Emperor Shun was shocked when he saw this, and shouted:
"Where are the guards?"

"Stop screaming, this is a dream, no one can save you."

While speaking, the red-haired man had already approached. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed the other man's neck. Emperor Shun, who was still shouting, immediately fell silent, and was lifted up in the air.

Emperor Shun wanted to resist, but he couldn't use any strength in his body. He only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. Just when he thought he was going to die at this moment, the red-haired man suddenly gave a soft "Hey" and said in doubt:
"Dragon Qi isn't on you?"

After the red-haired man finished speaking, he let go of his hand, threw Emperor Shun back on the chair, turned around and muttered:
"The imperial aura of the capital is so high, there is absolutely no mistake. Since it is not on you, it must be on that prince. I originally wanted to save his life, so..."

Emperor Shun was startled when he heard the words, at first he thought it was an ordinary nightmare, but what the other party said didn't seem like a dream at all.

He wanted to ask, but the man's figure flickered after he finished speaking, and when he looked up again, he was gone.

Emperor Shun wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was still in shock, although he didn't know what happened, but now it seems that he escaped the catastrophe without the dragon energy on him.

……

At this time, the dragon chair suddenly shook, and then the whole hall shook. Emperor Shun grabbed the armrest tightly, but he still couldn't stop the shaking, until he woke up suddenly, only then did he realize that someone was shaking him beside him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's dawn. The empress heard that you didn't go to court early, so she asked the humble official to come and see you."

"what?"

Emperor Shun shook his aching head, turned his head and looked out of the window, it was already bright outside the house.

Looks like it was a false alarm after all...

Emperor Shun sighed, and planned to ask the people of Qin Tianjian later, but suddenly Zou Shun's exclamation came from beside him:

"Your Majesty, your neck."

Emperor Shun was in a daze, and Zou Shun had already knelt down on the ground, "The lowly post does not do enough to put His Majesty in a dangerous situation, and he deserves death."

"What's going on, stand up and say." Emperor Shun frowned.

Zou Shun got up tremblingly when he heard the words, went to the side and brought a bronze mirror, and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, you should see for yourself."

Emperor Shun heard the words and looked at the bronze mirror, only to see a clear purple handprint on the neck in the mirror.

"Your Majesty, do you need to ask the imperial doctor..."

"No need." Emperor Shun raised his hand to interrupt Zou Shun, "This matter must not be spread to the outside world. Also, go and invite the Eighth Prince."

"Here."
