Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 410 Night of Xuanwu Gate

Many years ago, the Star Luo Empire, Gengjin City, and the night of Xuanwu Gate.

Thick and dark clouds enveloped the imperial city, and the pouring rain seemed to be poured wantonly, pouring down from the dark clouds in the sky with the momentum of covering and washing everything.

And on this rainy night when the sound of rumbling rain obscured other sounds, on the floor tiles of the Xingluo Palace, which has always been known for its majesty and order, there was blood flowing down the ground like water.

Under the washing of the heavy rain, the originally thick blood became diluted, and then flowed into the sewer of the palace along with the rain.

A blond man in platinum uniform came out from one end of the palace, followed by a black-haired man in black. Their faces were all the same cold, even though there were rivers of blood in front of them and corpses strewn across the field, but their faces The solid ice showed no signs of melting.

Tonight, in the torrentially rainy palace, massacre is the main theme of the night.

"Your Highness, we have to hurry up. We only have less than a quarter of an hour. When the time passes and the next shift arrives, they will definitely find something abnormal and ask the Imperial Army for help."

Zhu Zhongda's cold but sincere and accurate words entered Dai Mingyuan's ears.

Dai Mingyuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Zhu Zhongda is his best friend and his most reliable ally at the moment.

They are also the two survivors who have struggled between life and death. They have long understood the importance of a stable ally to themselves, that is, the rescue hand that can pull themselves out of the Jedi when they are about to die.

Therefore, after growing to the point where he had accumulated a certain amount of strength, Dai Mingyuan helped Zhu Zhongda win the position of the head of the Zhu family, becoming the youngest head of the Zhu family for many years, and quickly helped him stabilize the situation as a prince.

As an ally chosen by Dai Mingyuan out of thousands of choices, Zhu Zhongda's ability cannot be described lightly in two or three sentences.

Relying on years of forbearance and accumulation, after Zhu Zhongda won the position of Patriarch, with the faint support of the prince, he quickly stabilized the situation of the Zhu family in just one week, and took over the full control of the Zhu family in the dark side of the empire in just one month. All personnel information.

Although young, no one in the current Zhu family dares to underestimate the head of the family with a cold face and indifferent eyes.

And some foreign families also tried to intervene when the Zhu family's power overlapped, but they were quickly suppressed by Zhu Zhongda who reacted.

That year, many families in Xingluo declined because of the sharp sword of the Zhu family.

And now, it is time for Zhu Zhongda to repay Dai Mingyuan, as an ally, to help him take over the driving right of the imperial carriage from the old emperor.

Dai Mingyuan walked in front of Zhu Zhongda, stepping over corpses one after another on the ground, his expression didn't fluctuate at all, even though many of them were the royal guards who accompanied him this morning.

As the crown prince of the empire, Dai Mingyuan had been accumulating his own strength very early on, not only with his allies headed by Zhu Zhongda, but also hiding a strange army of his own in the palace.

Although the number is small, it can definitely play a decisive role at critical times.

You must know how difficult it is to hide and cultivate a team of unfaithful soldiers under the old emperor's eyes.

Even though the old emperor's main sight was not on the crown prince Dai Mingyuan.

The old emperor was also a hero of a generation. With his excellent skills and skills, he forcibly suppressed and broke the backbone of the powerful families in Xingluo, domesticated them into the family dogs of the Dai royal family, and raised soldiers and trained them. The national power is unprecedentedly strong.

In a conflict between the two countries many years ago, the old emperor almost led his cavalry into the imperial city of Tiandou. The old emperor of Tiandou also died of illness because of this, and finally he was stopped by the Wuhun Palace.

Many people once speculated that if it wasn't for the obstruction of the Wuhun Palace, perhaps the Tiandou back then would have been wiped out by Xingluo.

But now, the old emperor is getting older, and his control over the empire is not as strong as before. Although he still lives and dies in this imperial city, he still has no power to control the huge empire.

Dai Mingyuan knew that some places in the empire were far away from Gengjin City, and some people were already ready to move, but it was difficult to do anything to those people based on his status as the crown prince.

Is it the same as watching the empire break away from control and even evolve into the shameful empire next door with declining imperial power?

Dai Mingyuan would never allow this to happen.

Since it is impossible to control the empire and eliminate hidden dangers in the name of the prince, then...

Dai Mingyuan's expression was cold, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

Tonight, it was raining heavily. Taking advantage of the transition of the new general guards, the children of the Zhu family stationed in Gengjin City dispatched together with the surprise soldiers, slaughtering the guards who had just shifted all the way, and opened the way for Dai Mingyuan and Zhu Zhongda under the cover of the rumbling rain.

Dai Mingyuan moved very fast, and he knew that he had to complete all his tasks as soon as possible before the next shift of guards took over.

Otherwise, what awaits him will be the boundless anger of the old emperor.

Walking outside the Taining Hall where the old emperor was resting, there was no light in the Taining Hall at this moment, as if the old emperor was still asleep.

The Zhu family's children in black and the soldiers they trained were all gathered outside the hall at the moment.

A masked woman walked out from the guards outside the hall and stood beside Dai Mingyuan:

"It has been confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor is inside, but I don't know if he is really asleep. Please hurry up."

Dai Mingyuan looked back and patted the woman's palm:

"Thank you, Yanning."

The woman with the mask just shook her head, took a step back and walked to Zhu Zhongda's side: "This is what a concubine should do."

"Wait for you to listen to my orders outside."

Dai Mingyuan didn't say anything more, he knew that the time left for him was running out, so he pushed open the gate of Taining Hall and walked in.

The masked woman walked up to Zhu Zhongda and asked, "Brother, tell me, can your Highness succeed? I want to abdicate him without harming His Majesty's life."

Signaling the people around him to be vigilant, Zhu Zhongda didn't care about his heavy and wet clothes soaked in the rain, and closed his eyes.

"I don't know, but maybe Ming Yuan has already prepared for the worst in his heart. For the sake of the empire, he has nothing he can't give up."

Maybe you too...

Zhu Yanning glanced at his brother with a cold face, who seemed to be carved out of the same mold as her husband, and sighed inwardly, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

Inside Taining Hall.

After Dai Mingyuan entered the hall, he closed the door.

Walking between the aisles, Dai Mingyuan did not light any of the candle lights, but kept observing and groping in the dark.

"To be honest, although you are my crown prince, I really never thought you would act like this."

In the darkness, an old but still energetic voice came from Dai Mingyuan's side.

Dai Mingyuan turned around and looked over. An old man with blond hair with a touch of pale white was wearing a platinum uniform and a coat. He was sitting on a table and chair in the side room, holding a glass of scarlet wine in his hand. .

Looking at the formal clothes on the old emperor, Dai Mingyuan was silent, and then quickly reacted: "Do you know that I will come tonight?"

The old emperor shook his wine glass: "I don't know, but you are my son, I don't think you will watch the empire slowly decline, and feel that you should take some action, so these days have been preparing."

"Do you know Ming Yuan, what you did tonight was conspiracy."

Dai Mingyuan was silent for a while, then looked directly into the eyes of the old emperor:

"Your Majesty, as Prince Xingluo, our very existence is the greatest conspiracy of the empire."
