Chapter 839 A Journey Through Heaven and Earth, A Long Wind Sends Wild Geese (Part 1)

Rebellion, waging war within the palace, has become a hobby of the Third Young Master Su, though it's unclear when it started.

The thought of storming into the palace made Su Che feel exhilarated.

Even when his cultivation level was low, Su Che once dreamed that he was a puppet emperor controlled by the Empress Dowager. After some maneuvering, he successfully turned the tables and killed her. When he woke up, he felt extremely satisfied.

Anyway, ever since the Emperor of Liang left, Su Che has become somewhat obsessed with and addicted to this kind of thing.

This can be considered a fairly ordinary hobby.

With a single command, Dugu Ba began to take control of the situation.

Su Che's assessment of him was correct; this man indeed possessed the bearing of an emperor and was a highly mature political machine.

After obtaining the consent of the Third Young Master Su, he first mustered his troops and sent people to several other powerful clans to convey his message, demanding that they immediately enter the palace to welcome the arrival of the True Man of the Longevity Sect.

Then he decisively summoned his trusted generals and sent them to key locations in the city, such as the armory and granary, to take command. He then dispatched elite troops to control the city gates.

Lu Huiniang, who was standing nearby, was somewhat mesmerized, while Lu Zheng kept sneering.

"Elder, everything has been arranged."

Dugu Ba pointed outside and swallowed hard.

Outside the Dugu family's tower, hundreds of armored soldiers were already lined up; they were the Dugu family's last remaining asset.

Many of them were members of the Dugu family.

If Elder Yang were to suddenly resort to some underhanded tactic of "having nothing to offer in return to Heaven," the Dugu family would be completely doomed.

"Let's go."

Su Che gestured for Dugu Ba to lead the way.

Torches hang high, armor clangs.

The large contingent marched straight to the palace gates.

In the Kingdom of Guzhu, pagodas were highly valued, and the so-called imperial palace and forbidden garden were nothing more than a few towers enclosed by a city wall.

The vermilion palace gates suddenly opened, and a general in armor rushed down from them.

"Fourteenth Brother, what's going on? Are we rebelling today?"

The general looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old; he had no hair on his upper lip and hadn't grown much. Although his armor fit him well, the longsword at his waist looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.

"He rebelled without even telling his brothers."

Without waiting for Dugu Ba's reply, the general ordered the guards to open the palace gates.

"Open the door! Open the door! Are you all blind? Can't you see that the Dugu family has stormed in?"

Dugu Ba looked at his young cousin, and countless words welled up in his heart, but none of them came out.

Let them rebel then.

Looking at that kid jumping around and the smiles on the guards' faces, I really don't know how long they've been waiting for this day.

"Go straight to the king, without alerting the palace."

After making a mental assessment, Dugu Ba then spoke to his cousin.

"If Wanyan and Tuoba come, let them in."

Although the younger cousin was young, he was full of ideas.

"Brother, this is not advisable. I should guard the palace gates. What if they have ulterior motives and collude with the king to ambush us from the inside?"

Dugu Ba considered his current substantial resources and Elder Yang's usual conduct, and made a firm decision.

"That would be even better, then the Kingdom of Guzhu could be renamed the Kingdom of Dugu."

"okay."

Seeing Dugu Ba's confidence, his cousin immediately swung his little fist.

"The enemy is in the palace! Sons of the Dugu family, charge!"

Go to hell.

Armored soldiers, brandishing their weapons, roared and cheered, surging into the palace like a turbulent tide.

The buildings are tall and brightly lit.

The moonlight, shrouded in light clouds like a veil, shone like jade, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

Dugu Ba, clad in armor and wielding a sharp weapon, led a group of warriors to clear the way.

Su Che was somewhat disheartened. This event wasn't exciting enough.

They rushed all the way to the foot of the tallest tower before an elderly eunuch hurriedly led a group of people out.

"General Dugu, what is this...?"

He had some doubts at first, but those doubts quickly turned into motivation.

"Open the door, open the door, His Majesty is returning to the palace."

"His Majesty?"

Dugu Ba looked at the old eunuch, wondering why he couldn't see the King of Guzhu.

"You are the Emperor of this old servant."

The tower's thick iron gates slowly opened, and Dugu Ba led the group upwards. At their highest point, Su Che heard beautiful singing.

Konghou, Pipa, Bianzhong...

Surprisingly, it was playing the 28 modes of Yanyue from the Great Liang Dynasty.
"A dance in Jiangnan, where orioles sing and grasses grow tall, orchids bloom in the spring sunshine..."

The palace gates opened.

Dugu Ba led his entourage through the door.

The ruler of Guzhu sat high on his throne, with many concubines below him, each holding a musical instrument, playing or singing, chanting a melody from the Great Liang Dynasty.

The King of Guzhu was embracing two beauties, both of whom Su Che had met once before. One was his queen, and the other was the crown princess.

The cold, hard armor clashed against the thin gauze dress. The dazzling longsword collided with the trembling silk strings.

"Love you."

The King of Guzhu released the Queen and the Crown Princess and stood up from his throne.

"What are your intentions in breaking into the palace at night?"

Dugu Ba drew his longsword, its cold blade pointing at him.

"Come down."

"My position as ruler was bestowed by the True Man of the Longevity Sect. You dare to rebel, aren't you afraid of being punished by the True Man of the Longevity Sect? Take my advice, go back now, and I can pretend that nothing happened."

"Your Highness, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back."

Dugu Ba also looked quite helpless.

"Where's my mother?"

Lu Zheng had no time for such roundabout ways. He strode out and roared at the King of Guzhu.

The ruler of Guzhu, dressed in a brocade robe, frowned as he looked at Lü Zheng below.

He paused for a moment before asking the question.

"Who are you?"

"I am Lü Zheng, hand over my mother now."

"Lü Zheng".

The ruler of Guzhu nodded, then pondered for a moment before asking Dugu Ba, still somewhat bewildered.

"Did you plot a rebellion because of this person, my dear minister?"

Dugu Ba thought to himself, "What does this all mean?" but he remained calm on the surface.

"It has nothing to do with him."

"Lü Zheng".

The King of Guzhu looked at Lü Zheng's innocent face and asked, "Who are you?"

This sentence almost shattered Lü Zheng's rationality.

He didn't even know who I was.

“I am Lü Tan’s son. You tyrant, today your retribution has come.”

The King of Guzhu sat back on his throne, and put his arms around the waists of the Queen and the Crown Princess.

"So Lu Tan had a son who didn't die. Dugu Ba, you guys are really incompetent."

Dugu Ba immediately wanted to stab this piece of trash to death.

We finally managed to keep Lü Zheng in check, but now this guy has brought up this old story again.

"It was all because of Dugu Chen and Dugu Rou's reckless behavior. I'm here to set things right."

"You came to see your mother, which shows you are filial."

The ruler of Guzhu nodded and praised Lü Zheng.

"Yun'er, look, isn't this your son?"

He said something to the concubine who was playing the flute.

Then a beautiful woman dressed in a pale yellow palace gown, carrying a jade flute, walked out gently.

"mother!"

When Lü Zheng saw her come out, tears welled up in his eyes.

What I'm happy about is that my mother is still alive; what I'm worried about is that her innocence is probably long gone.

She had a beautiful face, quite similar to Lü Huiniang. Her phoenix eyes looked down at Lü Zheng, sizing him up, and then she spoke directly.

"Zheng'er, you are truly audacious! How could you commit such a rebellious act? Kneel down immediately and beg the King to forgive your crime."

As she spoke, she immediately knelt down before the king of Guzhu.

"Your Highness, it is all because Yun'er failed to discipline him properly, allowing Lü Tan's bastard to run rampant. Please punish me severely, Your Majesty."

puff.

Su Che smiled.
