In the middle of the night, in the west garden of the imperial palace, in a side hall.

The emperor, the crown prince, the imperial concubine, and even the little transparent second prince are all locked up here at this time.

At this time, they no longer had the usual glamorous appearance, but instead had disheveled faces, disheveled temple hair, and only casually wore thin pajamas for going out in a hurry at night, looking extremely embarrassed.

Heavy footsteps sounded, Xue Hai walked in from outside the hall, blood dripped from his blade, and a lot of blood splashed on his dark armor and cold face.The lingering murderous aura in his eyes rose like mist, and he looked like a ghost chasing his soul in hell.

His arrival brought a gust of cool wind, and the few people who were only wearing thin pajamas were shivering in the cold wind.

The emperor's mind, which was originally dizzy because of fear, finally woke up in the cold wind, and began to run wildly like never before.

Not so long ago, they witnessed a massacre never seen before.The man in front of him ostentatiously used the name of the emperor to coax all the royal family members into the palace, and then killed them all without saying a word.It's unscrupulous to the extreme!Poor those clan children who were coaxed to come here, they didn't understand what happened until they died!

Then several people were locked up here.

Thinking of the sudden arrival of the Beiyan Army, the Fifth Prince who clearly held the power of the Beiyan Army, and this inexplicable lunatic in front of him... The emperor's messy thoughts were finally drawn into a line.An answer clearly emerged in his mind.

——The Fifth Prince Jiang Hong wants to seize the opportunity to usurp the throne!

Xue Hai didn't know how much the emperor had made up in his mind in a short period of time. He walked over slowly and drew out the long knife in his hand inch by inch.This made several people in the hall more and more uneasy.

He was condescending, and his eyes swept over the few people unscrupulously, like a beast ready to hunt at any time, and would show its minions in the next moment.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

As soon as he opened his mind, the emperor was not as scared as before.He furrowed his brows tightly, stood up boldly from the ground, and stared out fiercely, with a rare bit of imperial majesty.

"Slaughtering the clan so recklessly, even Jiang Hong can't keep you!"

The Jiang Hong he was talking about was the fifth prince's real name.

Although Xue Hai's crazy behavior had frightened him quite a bit before, the Emperor calmed down and was determined.He never believed that the young man in front of him, who was suspected to be under the fifth prince, really dared to kill the emperor's father!Most of his previous actions were to intimidate himself, force himself to submit, and even give way to the fifth prince.

He was about to tentatively raise conditions when his expression suddenly faltered.

The young man in front of him has completely drawn out his long knife.

Clang—the long knife is out of its sheath.In an instant, the cold air overflowed, and on the shiny black blade, the coagulated blood formed brown lines.The indistinct smell of blood wafted from the noses of several people, frightening the emperor's courage that had just mustered up once again.He took a few steps back and fell back to the ground.

Only then did Xue Hai sneer, his dark eyes scanned everyone in the hall, and finally he said, "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Xue. That Xue from Xuejiazhuang."

Several people in the hall looked confused.

Perhaps in a small and remote place like Xuejiazhuang, the lives of some ignorant and foolish people are not worth the attention of a few big shots.

"Could it be that the imperial concubine doesn't remember—the small mountain village that was destroyed by the butcher knife of the Northern Flame Army just because you casually said 'cut the weeds and eradicate the roots'?"

Such an obvious reminder made the imperial concubine finally change her face. Her face "swished" white, and there were waves of waves in those sparkling eyes, and there was only panic: "How do you know? He Yinghe——"" He is already dead. I killed him." The young man's calm and almost cruel voice responded to her, "The other accomplices are all dead too."

"And you all deserve to die."

Whether it is the imperial concubine who secretly passed on the imperial decree and ordered He Ying to kill and silence her; or the third prince who complained in front of the imperial concubine repeatedly and aroused her murderous intentions, but he felt at ease; But the emperor, who knew what the imperial concubine had done, was determined to cover it up...even, just casually sowing discord, it aroused the evil thoughts deeply buried in the third prince's heart, and indirectly caused everything that happened to the second prince... From Xue Hai's point of view, they all deserve what they deserve!

Hearing his sentence-by-word declaration like a trial, several people in the hall couldn't help sweating coldly, and their bodies shrank back subconsciously.And the cold knife light has already bloomed in sight.

The first to bear the brunt is the emperor who stood up before.

The light of the knife flickered.

"No!" The next moment, the woman's screams sounded in the hall, and the imperial concubine who appeared in front of the knife point at some time fell limply on the ground.There was still a deep sense of disbelief in her eyes, she stared fixedly behind her, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor didn't respond, and turned his head away indifferently, allowing the woman on the ground to lose her breath.At this moment, he showed unprecedented coldness.

The two princes looked at him in disbelief.

Over the years, the emperor's love for the imperial concubine is well known in the world. He even laughed it off when she secretly mobilized the Northern Flame Army, not wanting to see the truth between life and death.

This coldness made their teeth shudder.

Xue Hai, who was watching everything happening, laughed happily as if enjoying a good show.He was even a little dissatisfied, the death of the imperial concubine seemed too easy and happy.

"Enough is enough, the real culprit is dead, it must be enough to calm the anger in your heart." After Xue Hai withdrew his smile, the emperor stood up again with a serious face, "If you want to use this method to force I submit—" Until now, he still thought that this was the prelude to the Fifth Prince forcing the palace to seize the throne, and tried to bargain.

Until another smear of blood lighted up in the hall.

……

After a while, the emperor's hysterical shouts sounded in the palace, mixed with great panic.

"Where's Jiang Hong? Where is that Nizi? I want to see Jiang Hong—ahhh!!!"

"You...you don't dare! Don't come here! Killing brothers and fathers is not a law! Do you want him to be scolded by the world? Disobedient ministers and thieves—" The voice became lower and lower, until it finally disappeared completely.

The hall was quiet, with corpses and blood mixed together.The young man in black armor stood quietly in the pool of blood, his expression neither sad nor happy.

The night that was ignited by the fire was easy to flash past in his memory. He took a deep breath, and his body relaxed, as if some invisible burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

However, the resentful faces of those who were tricked into the palace by him not long ago and died full of resentment seemed to flash before their eyes one by one, and Xue Hai's back that had just relaxed felt a little heavier again.

He clenched the long knife in his hand, glanced at the corpses in the palace, and his eyes became firm again.

"...Your existence is the biggest obstacle to His Highness."

In this world, there are always some mediocre fools who judge high and low by blood, and careerists who hold high such banners to achieve their ulterior motives.

After all, the real fifth prince has been in Beiyuan for many years, and he knows many people well.Once Chu Si's true identity is exposed one day, Xue Hai has no doubt that these two types of people will emerge in endlessly.

"As long as there is still a trace of blood in the Great Wei royal family, those people will not give up, and will bring endless troubles to His Highness..."

"So, you can go on your way with peace of mind."

Xue Hai turned around without hesitation, and walked out of the hall, his footsteps were a little heavier than when he came.

Maybe he was just a narrow-minded avenger in the past, and his whole mind was filled with hatred.

But the various experiences along the way and Chu Si's subtle influence have greatly broadened his horizons and mind.Especially after joining the Beiyan Army, when he accompanied those people to suppress the refugees, he even witnessed the tragedy of countless families being destroyed under this decaying empire.

Xue Hai gradually understood that the tragedy that happened to him was just a common drama that was happening every moment in this world.His hatred is just the epitome of the hatred of countless people in the world.

He wants to change all that.

And that Highness is the best candidate.

Although the other party must have more unpredictable secrets, and may even not be the mountain village boy Ajiu he knew at all, what does it matter?

All that he has learned and learned from the other party for a long time has made Xue Hai clearly realize that if there is really a person who can completely end this dark and chaotic world, clarify the universe, and create peace...it must be him!

And this is enough for Xue Hai to spare no expense.

——Clear away all obstacles to the throne for the opponent.

He wiped off the blood on the blade, walked out of this side hall, and his steps stopped suddenly.

Outside the side hall, the West Garden is full of flowers.The falling snow-white petals fluttered in the wind.Within three feet outside the hall, unknown flowers and trees are lush.Someone stood under the shade of a tree, his black hair was like ink, and his black clothes were stained with frost.

The young man wearing a wooden mask quietly looked at this side, the dark and deep eyes under the mask seemed to be covered with a layer of morning frost.

The sky is getting brighter in the distance.

In the sudden morning light, Xue Hai, who had just walked out of the palace, couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.

……

"Where are the ministers? They should still be alive, right?"

There was a slight smile in Chu Si's tone as always, as if he didn't know anything.

Xue Hai raised his stagnant footsteps again, and he said softly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, those people are unscathed, at most they were a little frightened."

"Oh? Then let's go and have a look, it's still useful." Chu Si walked away first with a slight arc on his lips.

The civil and military officials had already been driven by Xue Hai to another side hall. This palace was built against the sun. Under the shadows, the vermilion pillars seemed to be stained with blood, and the steps were accidentally stained with blood, making it look gloomy And cold.

Chu Si stepped up the steps.

"By the way," when he was about to step into the palace, he suddenly turned around and said in a serious tone, "I have plans for some things."

He had never thought before that that Xue Hai's almost crazy behavior came from a different expectation for him.

However, the future he planned was not like this.

Wearing another false identity and face for a long time, let the name "Jiang Hong" shine because of him, this is definitely not Chu Si's wish.What's more-"The dangerous building is about to collapse, and snakes and rats are overgrown. It is better not to break nor to stand than to hang papers everywhere."

·In the east side hall, a group of civil and military officials were locked up here, and one night has passed.The scene of Xue Hai's massacre before was still replaying in their minds, and their frightened heartbeats have not returned to normal until now.

The old Prime Minister almost fell ill from fright, and he still feels dizzy before his eyes until now.

Mingzhe has saved his life for most of his life, but this time he even betrayed the king for the sake of his life, but what he got in return was such an unembarrassing and unembarrassing result, which really made him come to his senses.

At this time, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and a young man strode in.And the killing god who impressed them so much followed closely behind the other party.

"Fifth prince..." Everyone had complex expressions, looking at this little transparent prince who had never paid much attention to him.

Someone couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask where is Your Majesty?"

"Of course it's gone."

The officials were terrified and could not utter a word at all.After all, they are just a bunch of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Chu Si slowly stepped into the hall, looking at everyone with his hands behind his back.

His deep and calm gaze was as deep as the sea, and every step he took, everyone's hearts couldn't help but beat heavily.Even if he didn't say a word, the unprecedented strong sense of existence was like a bright sun in the sky, and Mount Tai covered the top, shocking everyone's minds.

All the officials in the hall fell into a trance for a while, and knelt down in unison.
