Chapter 162 Entering the Capital and Slaying the Emperor
Chapter 162 Entering the Capital and Slaying the Emperor
Beijing.
The scene was desolate, with few pedestrians on the street.
Because of the dynasty's chaos, even the capital city was filled with groups of refugees and beggars.
"Even the capital is like this; the whole world is in chaos."
When Zuo Qianhu entered the capital and saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, shall we proceed directly to the palace to meet the Emperor?"
Zhuge Wolong, who was standing to the side, asked curiously.
Others also looked over.
Commander Zuo nodded: "Of course we should go directly to the palace to meet the Emperor. We should see if the current Emperor can succeed. If not, then so be it."
"..."
Everyone was silent for a while.
Fu Tianchou, in particular, tried to speak several times.
In the end, they were all stopped by Zhuge Liang.
"What are you pulling me for?"
Fu Tianchou said angrily, "He's blatantly disregarding imperial authority, and none of you are going to try to stop him?"
Zhuge Wolong rolled his eyes.
Are you out of your mind?
I dare not look at who Lord Qianhu is; even the Imperial Advisor has been killed.
What are you trying to persuade me of? What are you trying to persuade me of? Are you going to use your head to persuade someone?
"Watch carefully, or you should think about whether your head is as hard as the Imperial Advisor's."
Zhuge Wolong said with schadenfreude.
Upon hearing this, Fu Tianchou fell silent.
"Halt! Entry into the imperial palace is prohibited."
The group had just arrived in front of the palace when they were stopped by a group of imperial guards.
"Paws!"
Zuo Qianhu said it in a calm tone.
Bang bang~~
The next second, two Imperial Guards went up and slapped him several times.
One by one, they beat the two guards until their cheeks were swollen.
The two men were stunned, staring blankly as Commander Zuo and his men rode into the palace in a grand procession.
"Quickly, sound the drums!"
One of the guards hurriedly shouted.
Someone has trespassed into the palace.
Ding, ding ding~~
As soon as the drums sounded, tension immediately rose throughout the palace.
This is the signal that the enemy has broken into the palace.
"Someone has broken into the palace! Help!"
Inside the palace, the guards assembled nervously.
As a result, they saw a thousand Imperial Guards storming in.
"Who are you? Trespassing in the palace is a capital offense!"
The head of the guards shouted angrily.
Commander Zuo glanced at the other party and said, "Get out of the way, or I'll have no choice but to charge in."
"You dare~~"
The commander of the imperial guards was furious.
Zuo Qianhu waved his hand.
"kill!"
"Kill anyone who resists."
One word: Charge in.
No matter who you are, if you're blocking my way, I'll kill you.
After all, he didn't have time to waste with them.
"Pfft~~"
A head flew off, blood splattering everywhere.
The commander of the Imperial Guards was beheaded, and his body fell straight down.
"what...."
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
For a moment, the palace was in chaos.
The Imperial Guards moved like sheep among sheep, taking care of the imperial guards in a single encounter.
Kill anyone who dares to make a move.
Fu Tianchou and the others following behind were terrified, and they couldn't help but tremble at the sight of Zuo Qianhu's cold and stern face.
This guy is truly a killer.
They'll kill you at the slightest provocation, and they won't listen to your nonsense.
Bang bang~~
Soon, the group fought their way to the depths of the palace.
A group of Imperial Guards surrounded the main hall of the palace, each one glaring menacingly at the Imperial Guards who had stormed in.
"Do you want to rebel?"
A loud shout rang out, and a middle-aged man stepped out from behind the Imperial Guards.
The man, dressed in the uniform of a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, glared angrily at the thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards who had stormed into the palace.
This is his subordinate, a member of the Imperial Guard from a thousand-household unit.
Why did they trespass into the palace and kill the imperial guards?
"Commander?"
Looking at the man before him, Zuo Qianhu spurred his horse forward and said, "I advise you to make way. I need to see the Emperor."
"Be bold!"
The commander was furious and drew his sword, shouting, "Men, seize these traitors!"
Ta-da!
Thousands of Imperial Guards drew their swords and prepared to charge forward.
"If you don't want to be treated with respect, then lie down."
Commander Zuo shook his head slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a dark figure rushed out from behind him.
Xiahou slashed with his sword, and the commander's expression changed drastically as he parried with his own blade.
With a clang, sparks flew.
The commander felt a powerful force surge towards him, and he and his sword were sent flying backward, crashing down the steps.
He coughed up blood and stared at the man, his face deathly pale.
"Are you really going to rebel?"
The commander was filled with grief and indignation; if he didn't stop this, he would be doomed.
Unfortunately, Commander Zuo ignored him completely and simply waved his hand.
A thousand Imperial Guards behind him attacked simultaneously; the strength of a Grandmaster was far beyond what the Imperial Guards in the palace could withstand.
bang bang bang~~
"what...."
They were taken down in a single encounter.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was littered with people, all wailing in agony.
"Let's go, let's go to the palace and meet the Emperor!"
With a wave of his hand, Commander Zuo led his men into the main hall of the imperial palace.
At that moment, the emperor received the news and hurriedly ran out of the inner palace.
"How dare you! Are you planning a rebellion?"
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, angrily rebuking the group of people who had barged in.
"Someone, someone, come!"
The emperor shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, apart from a few eunuchs blocking their way, there was no one else there.
The palace guards and the Imperial Guards were all lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"You are the emperor?"
Zuo Qianhu looked at the emperor in front of him and felt that he was already old and looked gloomy.
He looked like he was about to die, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly depleted of vital energy, like an empty shell who wouldn't live much longer.
Can such a useless person shoulder the heavy responsibilities ahead?
"Fu Tianchou, how dare you incite a rebellion?"
The emperor's gaze swept across the scene and landed on Fu Tianchou, and he immediately flew into a rage.
Fu Tianchou was startled and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is utterly loyal—"
He's just professing his loyalty.
The emperor immediately said, "Since you are so loyal, why don't you take down these treacherous officials?"
"Ha~~"
Left Commander shook his head in disappointment; such a person was incapable of governing the country.
He gradually rose to become emperor.
"Someone come, someone come quickly!"
"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
A group of eunuchs panicked and hurriedly stepped in front of them.
Zuo Qianhu didn't even look at it, and flicked his long-handled sword.
Bang~!
The four eunuchs were cut in half at the waist, their bodies crashing to the side, spurting blood.
This scene terrified the old emperor.
He tried to stand up in terror, but his legs were too weak to get up.
"With your abilities, I don't even need to think to know that you are incapable of shouldering the heavy responsibilities ahead."
Left Commander looked at the emperor, who had wet himself in fear, with a disappointed expression.
"You, what do you want to do?"
The emperor, terrified and furious, roared: "I am the supreme ruler, the Son of Heaven! How dare you defy me! I will exterminate your entire clan!!"
"Noisy!"
Left Commander, annoyed, raised his sword and swung it.
Poof~!
The emperor's head rolled off and landed right in front of Fu Tianchou.
Those eyes were wide open in anger, staring at Fu Tianchou with unwavering glare.
This scene startled Fu Tianchou.
His eyes widened, and he suddenly fainted.
The emperor is dead!
"Uh, sorry, I accidentally killed someone in a fit of rage."
After killing the emperor, Zuo Qianhu finally realized what had happened and awkwardly chuckled at Zhuge Wolong and the others.
"..."
Zhuge Wolong stared at the emperor's head, which remained open in death, and fell silent for a moment.
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, and the scene fell into a deathly silence.
The emperor has been beheaded, what's next?
"By the way, how many princes does the emperor have?"
Zuo Qianhu immediately asked the question.
"It seems there are three princes, and the crown prince is in the Eastern Palace."
Zhuge Wolong spoke up and mentioned it.
"Someone, go and invite the Crown Prince here."
"Oh, and bring the other two princes with you."
After thinking for a moment, Commander Zuo waved his hand and gave the order.
"Also, immediately send someone to take over the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"
He issued another order.
Let's support a new emperor first.
"Yes!"
Everyone hurriedly accepted the order and went off to do their work.
