At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 154: Imperial Palace Master Gao Qian
no doubt.

The assassination attempt on Xiao Han tonight was like adding fuel to the fire, making it impossible for the already tense situation in the court to calm down any further.

Regardless of whether it was an assassination or not, someone in the court must be held responsible for it.

It all depends on who is the unlucky one.

The scapegoat.

long street.

The two figures collided again, the palm power was raging, the wind was howling, tearing the flying snow in the night into pieces and rolling it into a ball.

With roars of tigers and howls of dragons, and the power of palms shaking the sky, Nihuang flew backwards and fell to the ground, crushing several blue bricks before she finally stopped.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with shock when they looked at the man who was stepping on the air and rushing towards them.

She thought her cultivation had improved rapidly, but she didn't expect that Xiao Han's progress was even more terrifying.

After exchanging seven or eight moves, not only did he not gain any advantage, but he was actually at a disadvantage.

The overbearing palm force caused her palm to ache, and her knuckles felt like they were about to be torn apart...

"I let you survive last time, but you won't be so lucky this time."

Xiao Han opened his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and took three steps in succession. The void shook, and his energy soared into the sky. The void shook, and his right hand suppressed it down.

In an instant, the sky turned upside down, the world turned upside down, the ground on the long street collapsed, and sank three feet.

What a terrifying power this is?

Faced with this earth-shaking palm, Nihuang's expression changed slightly. She activated her true energy and mobilized her cultivation.

"Boom."

"Boom."

The aura broke through the celestial realm and directly stepped into the immortal realm on land. A pair of white jade hands pushed forward towards the man in white robe.

"boom."

With one palm strike, the palm force was like a huge wave, endless, spreading in all directions one after another.

Several powerful men who rushed from the palace saw this horrific scene, and they all felt their scalps tingling and chills running down their spines.

Not to mention going up to stop it, they didn't even dare to get close.

"too horrible."

The white-haired old man looked at the two people in white robes, a man and a woman, fighting each other. Their every move exuded the power to cause mountains to collapse.

The old man looked at the several imperial priests nearby and asked, "Should we go up?"

"this."

Several people looked embarrassed.

"I'm afraid I'd rather not."

The middle-aged man said: "The general and that person are evenly matched at the moment. If we rashly join in, it will be easy for the general to be hindered."

The main reason was that when Nihuang and Xiao Han fought, it was too terrifying and it was impossible for an ordinary master martial artist to challenge them.

"What are you still doing?"

Dissatisfied voices rang out, Gao Qian rode over, and seeing these palace attendants watching from a distance, he angrily said, "You don't even want your heads anymore. If the general makes any mistake, watch out for your heads."

After saying that, he jumped up from the horse's back, crossed the void, and shouted: "Tian Gang Tong Zi Gong."

He stretched out his hands, mobilized his true energy, and the pressure of the Grand Master of the Celestial Realm burst out of his body. His extremely strong and masculine internal force was extremely powerful, and his palm print went towards Nihuang.

"boom."

The palm force blew up the air, tore through the wind and snow, and arrived in an instant.

"Go away."

Nihuang's pretty face was as pale as ice. She stretched out her jade hand and slapped Gao Qian.

"boom."

The surging palm power exploded, and Gao Qian's originally extremely confident expression instantly turned into horror, his eyes widened.

He was directly knocked back more than ten feet by Nihuang's palm.

"Xiao Han, you are lucky."

Nihuang said bitterly: "Let your head stay on my neck for a while longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person had already flown backwards with the help of Gao Qian's palm power, like Kunpeng spreading its wings and stepping on the void. After a few rises and falls, he ran hundreds of feet away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What are you still standing there for? Go after him."

Gao Qian landed on the ground, covered his chest, suppressed the surging blood, and glared at the priests.

"Chase."

Those people also felt ashamed and used their inner strength to fly into the air, but unfortunately they could not catch up.

"Eunuch Gao, are you okay?" Xiao Han landed gracefully, his expression normal, without any injuries. This was only possible in the capital. If it was somewhere else, he would have to chase her for another seven days and seven nights to kill the female devil Nihuang.

"fine."

Gao Qian shook his head and thought to himself, "This great general's cultivation is indeed powerful. When I faced that woman, my blood boiled, but he was completely unharmed."

"General, I will go back and report to His Majesty, and I will also dispatch some more imperial guards."

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao."

Xiao Han clasped his fists and watched Gao Qian leave.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Shen Pei came over and said in fear: "This woman is too strong."

"The great evil of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who could confront Helian Bobo head-on, how could he not be strong?"

He shook his head, "But she did me a favor."

"Come on, let's go back home."

Xiao Han put his hands behind his back and walked around the gate that had become a ruin and entered the general's mansion.

Soon, before even the next day, the news of Xiao Han's assassination spread throughout the capital.

For a time, there was an undercurrent.

Especially during the day, those officials who had just reported Xiao Han to the hall and had a quarrel with Xiao Han were even more worried and unable to sleep at night.

I tossed and turned all night.

Inside the palace.

Bright lights.

in the hall.

The emperor had a gloomy face. The guards in the hall, the commander of the imperial guards, the thousand-man guard of the factory, and the masters of the worship hall, none of them dared to even breathe.

"Reply to Your Majesty."

Gao Qian came in: "Two thousand imperial guards have been dispatched to surround the General's Mansion. Not to mention at this moment, not even a fly can fly in."

"Didn't you catch it?"

The emperor spoke, and the atmosphere was terribly heavy.

"No."

Gao Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This assassin is very powerful. I fought with her and was slightly injured."

"check."

"in addition."

He paused and said, "At this moment, we know Xiao Han's whereabouts very well. There must be someone inside the court who is responsible for this. We will track him down as well."

"promise."

Gao Qian's eyes sparkled.

"No matter who they are, once we find them, we will arrest them all."

The emperor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. "The General of Pingxi, whom I promoted, was assassinated on his first day in the capital. This matter cannot end so easily."

That night.

The nine gates of the capital were closed, and there was panic in the city.

For several days.

The eunuchs and guards were rampant in the capital, and countless high-ranking officials and nobles were thrown into prison and their property was confiscated.

The current emperor had been holding back his anger for several years, but in a few days he let it all out, and many people were implicated.

The Yeyouting, which was originally empty due to the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the general amnesty, was now filled with a large number of officials' women sent there every day.

In this regard.

Xiao Han didn't pay attention.

Every day he stayed in the general's mansion, practicing sword skills and reading books. He neither inquired about things nor went out to make friends with officials.

Like a transparent person.

This day.

The wind and snow in the capital have subsided a little.

In the courtyard.

Xiao Han was waving the Jingzhe in his hand, practicing his sword moves methodically, when Shen Pei came in to report.

"General, Princess Ningxi's carriage has arrived."
