[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Jing Wuming was sent by Shangguan Jinhong to surrender to the empress.

Shangguan Jinhong had already taken the responsibility of giving birth to a child. If she suddenly changed her mind, she had to tell the emperor about it. That was secondary. The point was that Shangguan Jinhong wanted Jing Wuming to be someone close to the emperor. After all, this was the harem. If one wanted to get along well in the harem, one had to flatter the biggest leader here. No one else would be of any use unless it was the emperor.

As for whether the emperor would be willing to accept him, would he suspect Jing Wuming of having ulterior motives? Shangguan Jinhong had already thought about this carefully. He was definitely suspicious, but as a person in a higher position, Shangguan Jinhong knew this kind of person too well. He was the leader of the world's largest gang, and he had so many people under him. Who wouldn't have some ulterior motives? Aren't they all obedient under his control?

In the final analysis, when hiring people, we are not afraid of them having ulterior motives, but we are afraid of them having no ulterior motives and being useless. As long as we grasp a person's soft spot and understand his weaknesses, then we can make the best use of him and use him to the end!

What is Jing Wuming's weakness? Of course it is Shangguan Jinhong. As long as Shangguan Jinhong is in the harem, Jing Wuming will not be able to make any trouble! The emperor was already aware of this as early as the night when Jing Wuming broke into the palace.

Now, as long as Jing Wuming shows how useful she is and shows her weaknesses appropriately, there is no need to worry that the little emperor will not take the bait! Especially, judging from the fact that she used Shangguan Jinhong to cool down everywhere, this is really a master who makes the best use of everything!
It's a pity that she is not from the real world... Shangguan Jinhong sighed with some regret. This little emperor is both intelligent and brave, calm in the face of change, and has the talent to govern the world. If she were from the same world as him, he would definitely marry her. If the Money Gang was in her hands, it would never have declined so quickly as it did later!
So, Gang Leader Shangguan, who had planned everything, was in a really good mood. He even drank some wine and clinked glasses with Li Xunhuan. However, all his good mood was completely ruined by the person who poisoned him!

So, which bastard did it?

A table full of delicious dishes was thrown to the ground. Shangguan Jinhong was so angry that his face turned blue. He sat there, not knowing what he was thinking about. A deep crack appeared on the stone bench under his butt.

Wuhua glanced at the crack with a complicated look in his eyes. He pointed at the food and wine on the ground and said, "What are you going to do about this? The palace servants who deliver the food are all new faces. Any one of them could be bribed. Even if we pry out the mastermind from them, it may not be someone else's borrowing a knife to kill. The forces in the harem are intertwined and there are too many people who want us dead. The queen, the imperial concubine, the queen mother, and even the emperor could all be..."

Shangguan Jinhong was silent for a moment, then smiled sinisterly. When Li Xunhuan saw this smile, his heart skipped a beat and he put his hand on his shoulder: "Once you do this, there's no turning back."

Wuhua: ...? He didn't seem to say anything!
Is there some telepathy between you two?

Shangguan Jinhong glanced at Li Xunhuan awkwardly, but without much emotion, and said calmly: "I wanted to play some tricks with them, but who knew they would be so shameless. In this case, don't blame me for not following the rules of the game."

Li Xun Huan sighed, Wu Hua seemed a little excited: "Are you ready to start?"

Shangguan Jinhong only said one word: "Go." After that, he strode out, and the stone bench he was sitting on completely cracked into a pile of rubble.

Wuhua and Li Xunhuan followed him.

……

Shangguan Jinhong went there to kill someone.

The previous failed experience told him that the emperor was protected by the rules and would not be harmed, but it was different for the concubines. He could kill them whenever he wanted, and it didn't matter who he killed.

Then just kill them all.

Isn't it just the Empress's seal, the phoenix robe, and the Emperor's personal seal? If we can't get them this time, then we'll all die! Let's die together!

The first victim was Concubine Wen, the previous Concubine Wen.

His original surname was Wen, so he used his surname as his title. When Shangguan Jinhong got the title "Wen", the original Concubine Wen was very embarrassed, so His Majesty the Emperor gave him a new title, using the second character of his name.

It can be said to be a complete bluff.

Therefore, it is understandable that the former Concubine Wen hates the current Concubine Wen to the core. However, Shangguan Jinhong does not have the time to think about so much. He finds him first purely because he is close to him.

In broad daylight, the gate of Zhiyang Palace was wide open. The former Concubine Wen was reading a book under the wisteria trellis in the courtyard. Seeing Shangguan Jinhong and the others barging in with such force, she felt very unhappy. She sat there without moving, put down the book, and said calmly, "I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be a distinguished guest. It's rare to see you all."

Shangguan Jinhong didn't need him to talk nonsense. He walked forward step by step, carrying the bloody storm of the martial arts world, and each step brought natural pressure. The former Concubine Wen felt her heart tighten and she couldn't breathe. She wanted to run instinctively, but her body was so weak that she trembled in the chair, "You...what do you want to do? Come...someone!"

He shouted in panic. Although he was surrounded by palace servants, no one dared to step forward. So Shangguan Jinhong grabbed him by the collar and threw him against the palace wall several feet away.

Bang—blood and flesh splattered on the wall. The person who was talking just now had no human form now. Only a piece of clothes wrapped in a piece of rotten meat slowly slid down the wall.

The smell of blood wafts through this midsummer.

The palace maids who were standing still were already stunned with fear, staring at the blood splattered on the wall without blinking. Some were shaking like sieves, some collapsed to the ground, and some were screaming hysterically, shouting "Murder! Concubine Wen has gone crazy!" But no one dared to run away, because Wuhua and Li Xunhuan were blocking the palace gate.

Li Xunhuan could no longer bear to watch. Wuhua chanted a Buddhist mantra and also looked very reluctant. He walked forward with compassion in his eyes and said to Shangguan Jinhong, "He lives with Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhao. Monks do not like to kill, so you have to do it."

Shangguan Jinhong gave him a cold look, without saying a word, and walked into the side hall. After a while, a thin boy was carried out like a chicken. He looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. His whole body was shaking, and he was crying and struggling desperately - he naturally saw what happened just now, and he was very scared. He hid under the bed and trembled, hoping that this disaster would never befall him.

When he was dragged out, he still had hope. He kept crying and begging for mercy, saying that he knew nothing. He cried and complained that he had always been honest and decent, had never been favored, and had never hurt anyone.

It would be strange if Shangguan Jinhong was soft-hearted. Just as he was about to chop down with his hand that could split the stone and break the stone, Li Xunhuan grabbed his wrist tightly!

"He is still young and doesn't know anything. Why do we have to kill him?"

Shangguan Jinhong stared at him and said, "After passing the level, these people will still disappear like the wind. This is just one of the roles played by people like them. You are also someone who has experienced the small world. Do you still need me to tell you these truths?"

Li Xunhuan did not let go. Before he could say anything else, Wuhua moved as fast as lightning and sealed seven or eight acupuncture points on his body in the blink of an eye.

The compassionate Master Wuhua lowered his eyes and said, "Do it."

There was a sound of breaking bones and muscles, and the teenage boy fell to the ground without even a scream and died.

Somehow, after killing two people in a row, Shangguan Jinhong's murderous aura drastically decreased, and there was even some compassion in his eyes. He complained to Li Xunhuan: "I always enjoy killing people. If you hadn't stopped me just now, why would he have to suffer so much fright? Li Tanhua, don't be so cruel."

Li Xun Huan stared at him, his words full of offensive power stuck in his throat.

Wuhua asked, "What about the other one?"

Shangguan Jinhong said: "He is not in the palace. He must have gone to visit other palaces."

Wuhua carried the motionless Li Xunhuan and said, "Let's go to Hengyang Palace."

Two kind-hearted people walked out into the bright sunshine.

It just so happened that there was a small party in Hengyang Palace. The palace was boring all day, so the concubines often got together to play chess and football. Hengyang Palace was very lively. Four or five young men, each with a dozen servants, were competing in archery. Fortunately, there was a large open space in their palace, so they could set up a small banquet. The originally lively banquet suddenly became solemn. The chill from nowhere made people feel cold and gradually quieted down.

After all, the news from Zhiyang Palace had not yet reached them. Three people suddenly came to disrupt the happy banquet. Concubine Su was the head of Hengyang Palace and an old lady in the palace. Her face immediately turned bad and she scolded, "What are you doing here?"

Yu Meiren was smart. When she saw that something was not right, she quietly told her servant to go out and find out what was going on. If anything was wrong, she should report to the Queen or His Majesty immediately and have the imperial guards dispatched.

The servant was also cunning and did not dare to go through the main gate. Instead, he mixed in the crowd, lowered his body, half crawled, half knelt, and got into the dog hole in the back hall.

So Shangguan Jinhong killed one person with one slap, and when he was about to start killing, the heavily armored imperial guards had surrounded Hengyang Palace tightly, with rows of machine guns set up on the courtyard wall, and long spears and short swords protruding from behind the shields.

The emperor himself did not come, but an imperial edict was delivered.

"Kill without mercy."

It’s been... so long.

Palace fighting should be done this way!

A loud thunderclap split the sky, and Shangguan Jinhong chuckled. The thousands of points gained from the massacre of the harem were all accumulated in his internal strength. The majestic internal strength like a mountain pressed out, and the few people who were closer to him immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were unconscious or dead.

Wuhua danced a dance he hadn't performed for a long time. His figure was agile and he flew around the yard. However, this time he had a knife in his hand. All those who were controlled by his wonderful dance had their throats cut without exception.

It only took an hour and a half to slaughter the imperial guards who had trapped them for months like pigs and sheep.

Li Xunhuan's acupoints were not unblocked, and he stood there frozen without moving. The extremely strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils. His stomach felt cold and he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't.

In the distance, the empress stood on the roof of the Fengtian Palace and looked at the scene from afar. Her expression was surprisingly calm.

"Recently, I have been having some strange dreams. I dreamed that I was born in a dynasty where the imperial power was declining. I was an inconspicuous princess. My mother was a palace maid of low status. Therefore, I was never valued by my father. I had an empty title of princess, but was often bullied by my brothers and sisters. I lived a life worse than that of a slave.

I finally got married and was promised by my father to a prince consort of noble status. The young man from a prominent family looked down on me and allowed his concubine to bully me. I tried my best to please him, but he beat me to death for his concubine.

At that time, my soul was filled with hatred and unwillingness. I was reborn, but my body was controlled by a man. He used my body to teach me how to play chess, taste tea, read books and write poems, and even taught me martial arts. He taught me many ways of dealing with things. Those boring things were actually interesting when they came out of his mouth. Later, he helped me get revenge and fulfilled my wish. In fact, that was no longer my wish. At that time, my only wish was to see him again... I remember, his name was Li Xunhuan. "

The emperor smiled slightly, "It's a ridiculous dream, isn't it? I am a daughter of heaven. None of my sixteen brothers and sisters can compare to me. The fact that the world is prosperous and the people are strong is also the result of my hard work. How can such a weak and gullible person be compared with me?"

"But, that dream was so real that after waking up, the humiliation and despair, the expectations and unwillingness, made me unable to tell what was real and what was fake."

Jing Wuming stood silently beside her, never saying a word in response to all these emotions.

The emperor turned around and looked at him, his eyes full of inquiry: "You know what they want, right?"

Jing Wuming finally spoke, but he asked in return: "If they want it, will you give it to them?"

The emperor's eyes were filled with a deep and unreadable expression: "I will give it to you, but before I do, I have to test their strength."

……

A river of blood flowed in front of Zhaoyang Palace.

The heavy palace door had long been tightly closed, with a dozen wooden planks propped up inside. The imperial guards were protecting the queen tightly inside. The queen was sitting on the main seat with a pale face, her hands trembling as she clutched the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white.

Many concubines hid here, crying out of fear.

At this point, the Queen had already ordered people to find out why Shangguan Jinhong and the other three suddenly massacred the harem. She said coldly, "Who is it? Who poisoned them? How dare you do such a thing in the harem..." His voice trembled, his eyes were bloodshot, "Stand up yourself, don't implicate others!"

Of course no one stood up. The queen closed her eyes and could only sigh.

That's too late.

With a loud bang, the door, which was three meters wide, six meters long and four or five inches thick, shattered into pieces, and gusts of cold wind blew away the summer heat.

Shangguan Jinhong was still walking in front with big strides, while Wuhua followed behind carrying Li Xunhuan.

"Who poisoned me?" Li Xunhuan suddenly asked.

Wuhua said: "What's the point of pursuing this matter now?"

"Yes." Li Xun Huan said, "I was just wondering, how could there be such a strong poison in the harem? It is colorless and tasteless when put into the wine, and it takes effect quickly. Even with our high internal strength, we cannot resist it. The person who poisoned it must be a powerful person."

Wuhua laughed dryly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Li Tanhua is very resourceful and I admire you very much."

He is not pretending anymore. There is really no need to pretend in front of smart people.

The furious Shangguan Jinhong paused, turned back and glared at Wuhua, but he only saw the innocent smile of a handsome monk.

Shangguan Jinhong was so angry that her eyes went dark.

Brothers are close to you, why are you playing tricks on them?
