Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"immortal?"

Emperor Taikang seemed to remember something and immediately looked at the person who came. There were some things that the secret guards should not be able to access.

"Your Majesty, haven't you heard that there is a god above your head?"

Emperor Taikang laughed, his voice full of sarcasm. Is there a god above us? If this is true, then the world is like this. Do you really think that the barren land with no grass and no grains is caused by the court? Or is it that the court wants to see nothing left after the flood?

"The Emperor doesn't believe it?"

When the visitor saw Emperor Taikang like this, he asked another question.

But this time, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, and said: "Grand Emperor, do you think those people in the camp outside the capital can break in without the help of the gods?"

Emperor Taikang frowned.

Xia Cheng had just gone out to investigate this very matter. He did not come back, and a secret guard came instead. However, he also knew the truth of the matter.

"The camp outside the capital? Those people dare to rebel?"

A group of soldiers, the leaders of which had their spines broken by Jia Hong. At this time, they were leaderless. He could not have imagined that these people would dare to rebel.

"Of course not."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the secret guard. After becoming a secret guard, he had seen a lot of things happening in wealthy families. There were many cases of siblings killing each other and murdering their parents.

"Your Majesty, you may never guess who is the leader this time!!"

Emperor Taikang's eyes darkened. How could he not guess what was going on in the royal family? Even back then, blood was shed.

It's just that he's old and can't stand these things.

"you are happy?"

The visitor burst into laughter, his laughter full of joy.

"Of course, the drama of father and son killing each other is very interesting."

Emperor Taikang clenched his fists, his chest heaving, if there was no one here, he would have certainly made sure that this secret guard was killed without a burial place. But judging from the current situation, those people outside had been dealt with, and the other party might just want to see him make a fool of himself.

"Is it the second one?"

Suppressing the rage in his heart, Emperor Taikang's voice became steady again.

The visitor curled his lips. All the unfair treatment he had received in the royal family before, at this moment, turned into joy surging in his chest.

Looking at the person in front of him who had the most honorable status in Dakang, he played with the dagger in his hand and chuckled.

"Your Majesty is indeed smart, but unfortunately, he only guessed half right."

Emperor Taikang suddenly opened his eyes, and a chill flashed in his eyes, chilling and chilling.

"Old Five!!!"

He was not surprised that Emperor Taikang could guess who it was. As an old man who had been in charge of Dakang for decades, he had personally experienced the ups and downs of the court and the fighting on the battlefield. Even the emperor knew the personalities of the princes clearly, let alone the one in front of him!

"That's right, but I don't know whether it was the Second Prince's sword that pierced the Fifth Prince's chest, or the Fifth Prince's sword that pierced the Second Prince's chest, or the Fifth Prince's sword that pierced the Emperor's chest!!!"

Emperor Taikang remained silent. Royal affairs have always existed since ancient times, but some dynasties covered them up better, while others were exposed.

Seeing that Emperor Taikang was like a clay sculpture, motionless, the visitor let out a light exclamation, and then felt a little bored. What he wanted to see was not silence.

"Alright, I've said so much just to make you understand. When you go to the underworld, don't forget to tell the King of Hell that the dragon slayer is Xu Kaida from the capital!!"

After saying this, Xu Kaida tightened the dagger in his hand and walked towards Emperor Taikang. Emperor Taikang's eyes widened slightly, but at this moment he felt a little powerless.

Apart from his status as the emperor emeritus, he was just an elderly man. Faced with the current situation, he was completely powerless.

"I have been active throughout my life, shaking the northern border, pacifying the southwest, and creating a prosperous era. I never thought that I would end up dying at the hands of an unknown villain like you. But there is one thing I might as well tell you. No matter who your master is or who you work for, if you kill me, you will be buried with me, and your nine clans will be buried with me. They need to give an explanation to the world."

Xu Kaida paused and his eyes began to flicker. He couldn't help but be cautious about what Emperor Taikang said, and he felt that the other party's words did not seem to be alarmist. Although the old immortal said that the Fifth Prince would be rewarded according to his merits afterwards, he knew the Fifth Prince's character very well, because he was originally sent by Emperor Mingkang to monitor him. Now that he was persuaded by the old immortal to send Emperor Taikang to death, it did not mean that he was a fool.

"come!!"

"What, you don't dare anymore?"

Emperor Taikang opened his arms, offered his neck to be killed, and laughed crazily.

"Trash will always be trash. I'll give you my life in exchange for your entire clan. Are you still not satisfied?"

Xu Kaida's heart was ruthless. At this point, he had no room for regret. If he killed Emperor Taikang, the Fifth Prince might not let him go in the future. If he did not kill the retired emperor, the Fifth Prince and the old immortal would not let him go. So at this point, he had no choice.

He could only hope that the gods would save him. As soon as he thought of this, his figure turned into a dark shadow, and the dagger emitted a cold blade light, pointing directly at Emperor Taikang's neck.

"Bah!!"

The sound of the dagger entering the flesh was heard, and Emperor Taikang frowned slightly. He did not feel any pain on his body. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

A tall figure appeared in the lobby, with his hands behind his back and a complicated look in his eyes. Xu Kaida's eyes were wide open, and the dagger in his hand pierced his own heart.

"Jia Xuan!!!"

As if he was celebrating his rescue, or celebrating his recovery, Emperor Taikang's voice contained a hint of excitement that he himself did not even notice.

"You're not dead!!"

Jia Hong looked at the old man in front of him and shook his head gently.

He had been paying attention to the situation in the palace before. What happened in Taihe Palace was beyond his expectations. He did not expect that in the end, Chu Xuan actually instigated the secret guards to come and kill the emperor.

As for why he did this, he even thought it through clearly. The emperor killed the retired emperor, so he came to serve the king with justification. Dakang ruled the country with filial piety, so there was nothing wrong with this move. If he really succeeded, then Emperor Taikang and Emperor Mingkang would both become his pawns.

"I was injured, very seriously, and I just recovered a while ago."

He just said two simple sentences, which was his answer.

However, Emperor Taikang did not care about these. Looking at the young man in front of him, Emperor Taikang opened his mouth, and all the words in his heart finally turned into one sentence.

"It's okay!"

"The second and fifth sons rebelled."

"I see."

"Can you spare their lives?"

"Aren't you worried that I can't beat them?"

"In this case, you won't come out."

"By the way, Xia Cheng is still alive and will be back soon."
