The once prosperous royal capital suddenly fell into chaos.
Markets were closed and residents closed their homes.
At the same time, there were waves of war horses neighing, and a large number of imperial troops, equipped with strong armor and strong weapons, rushed towards Wu'an Jun's Mansion.
Soon after, this handsome mansion, which shocked all countries, was wiped out, and everyone was confiscated and imprisoned.
Many generals under Wu'an Jun's command were also confiscated and imprisoned for questioning.
Soon, the entire royal capital fell into deathly silence.
Only around the palace, there were crowds of people, but they only dared to stay and watch in the dark.
The clouds hung low in the sky, and the silent air was filled with a chilling atmosphere. The depressing atmosphere made people breathless.
Everyone can feel that something big is about to happen!
In front of the palace, old ministers led by Lao Xiangguo gathered in front of the palace and wrote letters to persuade the king.
Many military lieutenants, generals, and even ordinary people wrote thousands of words to express their grievances.
"His Majesty!"
"Mr. Wu'an has fought all his life, guarding the frontier and protecting the country. He has absolutely no intention of committing rebellion or rebellion. Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"
The old prime minister, who was in his dying years, fell tremblingly in front of the palace gate, crying sadly.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
More than a thousand people knelt down in front of the palace gate, holding blood letters and crying out for injustice. Their voices shook the world, and the mournful voice spread throughout the capital.
It can be seen from this that the reputation of Wu'an Lord Mu Jingchen is very high.
However, in front of the palace, the armed and tenacious Royal Forest Army was waiting in formation, like a river of death, blocking their way to appeal for grievances.
"Old Xiangguo, are you doing this to force me into the palace?"
At that time, Wang Shen, the prime minister of the court, came with hundreds of officials and scolded him coldly.
"I don't have this intention, but Lord Wu An is the pillar of our country's protection in Chu, and we must not lose it!"
Old Xiangguo stood up tremblingly and said excitedly.
"Hmph! The pillar of our great Chu has always been Your Majesty! Lord Wu An has repeatedly insulted His Majesty, disrespected the king's orders, acted treasonously, and is guilty of conspiracy. If he is not severely punished, how can he frighten the world and appease the court?"
Wang Shen sneered and said, "What is the intention of the old Prime Minister to protect the rebellious ministers?"
"Wang Shen, stop talking nonsense!"
"Mr. Wu'an has been in the military for ten years, suppressing rebellion at home and fending off powerful enemies externally. How loyal and patriotic he is, how can you allow you to trap him?"
"Without Mr. Wu An's military campaigns in the south and north over the years, how could our country be as peaceful as it is now? You are enjoying peace, but you are plotting against Zhongliang behind your back. This is simply shameless!"
"Insulting His Majesty and disrespecting the king's orders are all just remarks without evidence and unfounded charges!"
Those old ministers who became officials were very passionate and complained about loyalty and good deeds.
"Although there is no obvious sign, the opposite intention is there!"
Wang Shen sneered again, and then shouted: "Your Majesty has issued an order, do you want to resist the order and be disrespectful?"
Although there is no actual action, I have this idea in my heart.
Such shameless remarks and accusations completely angered these upright old ministers.
Throughout the ages, countless heroes and generals have died here.
But what is the situation of Da Chu today?
There are separatist forces inside, and there are powerful enemies looking at it from outside. At this time, we want to destroy the Great Wall. Could we be any more stupid?
Seeing the angry crowd, pointing at and yelling at him, Wang Shen's face turned green and white.
He also didn't expect that Lord Wu An's reputation was so high that even many people from the royal family came forward.
Just when he was about to drown in spittle, the palace door opened.
"Mr. Wu An has already confessed his crime, and his crime is unpardonable! Anyone who dares to speak out again will be punished as a comrade!"
The old eunuch came out in a majestic manner, looking down at this kind of person to read out the decree, his expression extremely arrogant.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Lao Xiangguo and others were all shocked.
They never believed that Wu Anjun would plead guilty. This was obviously an attempt to kill her unjustly.
"Haha, old prime minister, the king is the pillar of the country, and loyalty to the king is the bounden duty of our ministers! Are you still not going to step down?"
Wang Shen came out and sarcastically said.
"Loyal to the Lord?"
The old Prime Minister suddenly laughed, but his expression was sad: "The country is about to disappear, where can I still have the king?"
"You are presumptuous!"
The old eunuch yelled angrily.
"Deliberately plotting to kill Zhongliang, arbitrarily causing harm to the common people...people's hearts are deviated from their moral principles, and the world is in ruins. Will he still be the king at that time?"
Old Xiangguo roared.
"Are you also seeking death?"
Wang Shen said in disbelief.
"Death? I should have died twenty years ago!"
"If I had known this, I would have sacrificed my life for the late king and Princess Tianyu, and I didn't want to see this foolish king bring disaster to the country and the people!"
Old Xiangguo's eyes were red and his emotions were completely out of control.
"Old man, you are brave!"
The old eunuch was also shocked.
The palace coup twenty years ago was taboo.
At that time, countless heads fell to the ground, countless upright loyal ministers and good generals were killed, and the royal capital was shed with blood, so that period of history was barely erased.
However, today the old prime minister actually brought up the old matter again, which is a slap in His Majesty's face.
"kill!"
Suddenly, a roar sounded from the depths of the palace, filled with murderous intent, chilling everything in the world.
The commotion outside the palace gate instantly shocked everyone.
Because that voice came from the mouth of King Chu.
Obviously, the old affairs of the old prime minister's country were brought up again, which made the King of Chu angry.
"Your Majesty has a decree, kill without mercy, leave no one alive!"
The old eunuch's face was filled with a sneer, and he immediately gave orders to the surrounding imperial guards.
However, the imperial guards all looked at each other, and no one moved for a while, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock.
As long as he is a lieutenant in the army, there is no one who does not admire Mu Jingchen.
And anyone with a discerning eye could see that King Chu wanted to kill Mu Jingchen entirely for his own selfish desires, and it was inevitable that he was unwilling to do so.
"Do you also want to resist the decree? Do you want to be executed by the nine tribes?"
The old eunuch scolded sternly.
At this time, the imperial guards did not dare to hesitate. They could only draw their swords and kill the crowd in front.
Puff puff puff...
Suddenly there was a rain of blood in front of the palace, and screams and roars merged into one.
Those old ministers who have served in official positions are all old and frail, let alone ordinary people. They are no match for these well-trained and carefully selected imperial guards.
Many people had their heads chopped off before they could react.
The others were so frightened that they fled in a hurry, but the Royal Forest Army was surrounded by a large number of people.
Moreover, their cultivation was so strong that one of them was as good as ten. They rushed into the crowd and slaughtered them wantonly, and no one could stop them.
In front of the palace gate, bones were soon strewn on the ground and blood flowed into rivers.
Only Lao Xiangguo remained motionless.
He stared into the depths of the palace, looked up to the sky and cried out sadly: "You are a fool, you are a fool!"
His reputation was so great that even the murderous Imperial Guards deliberately avoided him.
"court death!"
The old eunuch was furious, rushed up suddenly, and broke the old Xiangguo's heart with one palm.
The old prime minister fell.
He served as an official for two hundred years and assisted three dynasties. No one could have imagined that he would end up like this.
"Kill! Kill all these traitors, confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans!"
The old eunuch stepped on the corpse of the old prime minister and yelled at the imperial guards.
The killings continued to escalate, and countless people fell in a pool of blood, dying with their eyes open.
The imperial guards who were supposed to protect their home and country were slaughtering their own people endlessly at this moment.
Because they can only obey orders.
This is also their sorrow!
The people observing secretly from a distance sighed when they saw this scene.
But none of them dared to step forward, because almost all the people with backbone and ambition were killed twenty years ago.
The only remaining people are now being slaughtered.
"I, Da Chu, have run out of energy!"
Many people cried out sadly.
As the old Prime Minister said, when the people's hearts are scattered, the country will perish.
However, at this moment, a terrifying cold air came overwhelmingly, making everyone present feel like they were falling into an ice cave.
On the empty street ahead, a young man with disheveled hair was walking towards him with a sword in hand.
Every step he took left an afterimage on the spot, advancing hundreds of feet as if teleporting, and at the same time, the murderous aura in his body became stronger.
His face was as cold as ice and his eyes were as red as blood.
"Who is coming? Leave quickly or die!"
Some of the Imperial Guards felt the chill behind their backs, and immediately turned around and yelled at the young man.
The young man was speechless and kept walking.
"court death!"
The forest guards were immediately furious and drew their swords forward.
However, as soon as they took a step, the young man was already in front of them, and at the same time, a dark sword light passed through the void.
Puff puff puff...
Dozens of highly skilled Imperial Guards instantly fell to the ground and died, being cut in half.
"What?!"
"Who is so bold as to attack the Royal Forest Army and want to rebel?"
Everyone was shocked.
The young man remained speechless, staring at the palace door with his blood-red eyes, moving forward step by step, leaving only endless murderous intent.
All the surrounding Imperial Guards were stunned. Under the terrifying murderous aura, each of them felt as if death was strangling their necks.
"Su...Su Chen!"
"What? He is Su Chen. Wasn't he in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm? Why did he come back so soon?"
"He already knows that Ye Qingcheng has been arrested, and he will definitely not let it go."
"He dares to break into the palace for a woman. Is it possible for him to rebel?"
Everyone was staring at Su Chen's figure, holding their breath and concentrating, their hearts seemed to be beating with Su Chen's footsteps.
They were full of expectations and curiosity about Su Chen, but also a little regretful.
Over the years, families without wives, daughters and children were summoned to the palace and disappeared, but no one dared to say anything.
How could they resist the royal power when they were so weak?
Su Chen didn't say a word, but directly raised his sword to kill the palace.
He was the first to rise up and may well be the last.
After all, if a person wants to fight against the royal power, it is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone.
However, Su Chen soon told them through actions that some things must be done even though they knew they were forbidden.
Even though we know that we are going against nature, we still have to move forward!
This is the responsibility of a man and the spirit of a warrior!
"Su Chen?"
"You...you dare to kill His Majesty's personal guards. Do you also want to rebel?"
When the old eunuch saw Su Chen, he was also very surprised, but he quickly scolded him fiercely.
"You rebelled against your mother! Are you worthy of it?"
Su Chen finally spoke, with rage surging into the sky and murderous intent as strong as iron. He pointed his sword at the depths of the palace: "I'm here to take the head of that stupid pig and dog. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole world was shocked.
