Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 142 Under the Blood Palace
"Your Majesty!"

"Your Highness!"

All the civil and military officials stared with wide eyes at the scene of the Fifth Prince being beheaded. For many of them, it was hard to accept, or even unbelievable.

"Traitor, traitor, you shall not die well!"

Some officials were completely defeated and started cursing at Gu Wenhui.

Gu Wenhui was not a good-tempered person either. With just one look, the soldier swung his butcher knife.

Any dissenting voices were silenced on the spot.

Even if this person was previously admired by him and had outstanding abilities and was a talent, this is no exception.

He is a person who values ​​talent and is willing to treat others with respect, but he is also a decisive person.

If I can't be of use to him, dying is not a pity!

After eliminating all opposition to him with iron-blooded means, the remaining officials fell silent.

Gu Wenhui then said with satisfaction: "I will only give you one day to think clearly whether you want to go with me or be my enemy."

The officials looked at each other, still not daring to say a word.

"Take him away and keep him under strict watch." Gu Wenhui ordered his men.

"Gu, sir, these are the fifth prince's old ministers. Why don't you kill them all to prevent future troubles?" Lu Zheng frowned and asked in a low voice.

He subconsciously wanted to call him Brother Gu, but soon realized that it was no longer appropriate, so he changed his words to call him Sir.

Gu Wenhui glanced at Lu Zheng, then smiled faintly and said, "Many of them are smart people. Smart people are best at judging the situation. Now that the Fifth Prince is doomed, they know what to choose.

Killing all these people will cause great unrest, which is not what I want to see. Also, don't forget that there are imperial troops outside, eyeing us covetously, and they will not let go of this opportunity.

Moreover, I also need these bureaucrats to work for me and assist me in managing these seven vast counties.

Of course, just in case, we still need to send people to keep an eye on their families, wives and children, to prevent some ignorant people from escaping."

Lu Zheng understood and nodded in agreement.

"Let's go. The hardest step has been taken. There are still many things to do next." After saying this, Gu Wenhui threw down his long sword, turned around and left the bloody palace.

At the same time, that night, in Donglai County City, in the palace where the fifth prince was originally staying temporarily.

The security here is as strict as ever, with one person guarding the palace wall almost every five steps.

There are also patrol teams from the General Administration and troops in the army deployed in layers to ensure absolute safety.

In the mansion, Chu Huai was still unaware of the shocking events in Nanyang. He was looking at a group of civilian women who had been captured in the courtyard.

"Young Prince, these are all the top beauties that we carefully selected from every household. Are you satisfied?" a general asked in a flattering voice.

The women huddled together, lowering their heads and sobbing in fear.

"Let them raise their heads so that I can have a good look at them." Chu Huai showed a charming smile, his narrow eyes narrowed like a poisonous snake, sweeping over the women.

This is his favorite part of the daily wine tasting session.

The general at the side waved his hand, and the soldiers under him immediately pulled the women's hair and forced them to raise their heads and show their faces.

Chu Huai glanced over and randomly pointed at a few women.

The general understood what he meant and planned to take the remaining women away.

Just then, Xiong Dangshan walked in and said, "My young prince, County Magistrate Li wants to see you."

Chu Huai frowned and said unhappily, "It's so late, go tell him that we can discuss it tomorrow."

"County Magistrate Li said that the news came from Nanyang and he wanted to discuss it with you in person." Xiong Dangshan continued.

When Chu Huai heard this, he did not refuse anymore. He just waved his hand slightly impatiently and asked him to bring the county magistrate in.

Soon, Li Yan, led by the guard, arrived outside the courtyard where Chu Huai was.

Xiong Dangshan stopped him and pointed at the guards following behind him, saying, "Only you can go in, they can't."

"You just wait here." Li Yan nodded, not caring. He said something casually to the guards behind him, and followed Xiong Dangshan into the inner courtyard alone.

Li Yan glanced at the captured women, then his gaze fell on the young prince beside him and said respectfully.

"Please forgive me for disturbing the young prince's leisure by visiting him without permission."

"I'm glad to know. Tell me what's the matter quickly." Chu Huai said impatiently.

"Young Prince, this matter is of great importance. Lord Gu has personally instructed me to have a private conversation with you. You must not tell anyone else." Li Yan said with some embarrassment.

"Gu Wenhui?" Chu Huai heard it, although he felt it was troublesome, he still did as he was told and asked the people in the courtyard to leave first.

Xiong Dangshan on the side frowned and did not intend to leave.

"I follow the king's orders to protect the little prince and will not leave him alone."

"This..." Li Yan hesitated.

Chu Huai nodded and said, "County Magistrate Li, there is no need to worry too much. General Xiong is our father's confidant and there is nothing to be secretive about." Seeing this, Li Yan had no idea what to say.

However, Xiong Dangshan caught the subtle change in Li Yan's expression and said suspiciously, "It seems that Governor Li is very reluctant for me to stay."

He looks strong and rough, but his observation skills are surprisingly meticulous.

Li Yan was shocked, but he said calmly: "General Xiong, that's not right. You are just following orders, and I am just following orders. What's the problem?"

Xiong Dangshan stopped talking, but his eyes had changed.

He believed in his instinct as a warrior. There was something wrong with Li Yan's reaction just now, which made him inexplicably alert.

Li Yan secretly sighed, it really wasn't that simple.

I failed to get some alone time with the little prince, and after all this time, it seems like time is almost up.

So he gave up his original plan.

"County Magistrate Li, what news has come from our father?" Chu Huai became even more impatient when he saw that Li Yanzhan was taking a long time to get to the point.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting outside the mansion. The noise was so loud that it scared Chu Huai.

Xiong Dangshan on the side almost subconsciously stood in front of Chu Huai to prevent any accidents.

"What happened outside?!" Chu Huai asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid someone is going to attack at night, little prince, you should go to the inner room and rest first." Xiong Dangshan said in a deep voice.

"Oh, okay!" Chu Huai didn't care about anything else at the moment and hurriedly retreated into the room.

At the same time, the guards around the courtyard also gathered in various places in the inner courtyard, guarding against all odds to protect the safety of the young prince.

"Go outside the mansion to find out the situation! If the situation is critical, release a smoke bomb to summon the city defense camp!" After settling Chu Huai, Xiong Dangshan himself did not dare to leave the inner courtyard. He only asked his soldiers to find out the situation.

If it was really a night attacker, the other party who broke into the palace this time was most likely targeting the young prince Chu Huai. He could not move without permission and leave Chu Huai's side.

"Does County Magistrate Li know the situation outside the mansion?" Xiong Dangshan suddenly looked at Li Yan, who was still relatively calm in the courtyard, and asked in a cold voice.

He already suspected that Li Yan, who had suddenly visited him tonight, was the culprit behind all this.

"Yeah. I know."

"Um?!"

Xiong Dangshan didn't expect Li Yan to admit it directly on the spot, and he didn't react for a while.

At this moment, the soldier he left outside the yard suddenly fell in and fell to the ground.

When most of the guards in the mansion went outside the courtyard to block the night attackers, the personal guards brought by Li Yan forced their way in, which was unexpected.

At this time, Li Yan also quickly retreated. Xiong Dangshan reacted quickly and grabbed Li Yan, not wanting him to retreat.

Xiong Dangshan was definitely a martial artist at the pinnacle of martial arts. When he made his move, overwhelming power instantly overwhelmed Li Yan, making him realize that he had been too arrogant just now!
If the other party really wanted to kill him, he might not be able to withstand Xiong Dangshan's attack at close range.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the people he brought were not ordinary characters.

One of the bodyguards suddenly jumped past him and stopped the suddenly rushing Xiong Dangshan with his arms bent.

"Hmm!" Xiong Dangshan was very surprised that he could block his punch.

There was no way the other party could be the personal guard of Li Yan, a mere county magistrate.

Noticing that the man's head seemed to be hairless under his helmet, he could not help but ask in a deep voice, "Which monk in the martial arts world dares to interfere in government affairs?"

"What the young prince has done recently has angered heaven and man. I am only here to enforce justice on behalf of heaven." Monk Houguang said "Amitabha" slowly.

He also does not intend to continue hiding his identity as a gangster.

"Very good! You all must die tonight!" Xiong Dangshan was extremely angry. He exerted more force on his fist and violently knocked Monk Houguang back.

"You are aiding and abetting the tyrant, and you shall be executed tonight!" Another man drew his sword and stabbed forward. The sword light was majestic and extremely exquisite, forcing Xiong Dangshan to draw his sword to meet the enemy.

"Qilin Sword, Shen Linsheng!" Perhaps because the sword skills were too recognizable, Xiong Dangshan knew the other party's name in the martial arts world at a glance.

"Hmph!" Shen Linsheng fought with him for a few rounds and then retreated to the side.

Xiong Dangshan glanced at the rest of the people and found that they all had strong and sustained auras. They were all warriors with strength of at least the eighth level.

Xiong Dangshan knew that they had planned this tonight and came well prepared!

"Who is the mastermind behind you?!"

Xiong Dangshan felt that with Li Yan's status and position, it was highly likely that he would not be able to hire these martial arts masters.

There must be someone behind them manipulating and directing all this.

As for doing justice for the people and eliminating harm for the people, it's all nonsense and just slogans.

The reason why so many martial arts masters can join forces to take action must be due to the motivation of huge interests!
Someone doesn't want the young prince Chu Huai to survive tonight!
