After staying for a few days, just after the White Dew Festival, Zhu Wen hosted a banquet in the imperial palace for An Dongjun, Zhu Yougui and a group of ministers on the grounds that An Dongjun had made great contributions. This also happened to facilitate the implementation of An Dongjun's plan.

The moonlight penetrated the magnificent palace of Bianliang and spread over the throne carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes.

Zhu Wen, wearing a dragon robe, slowly climbed up from the dragon throne with his tall and bloated body. He stared at the newly promoted corpse ancestor with a pair of cloudy eyes and slowly said:

"You, my dear ministers, have helped establish the prestige of Daliang. I am very pleased. Thank you for your hard work this time. This can be regarded as saving a little face for Daliang."

The voice was loud and clear, full of praise and commendation for Anton-kun, but Anton-jun was not happy at all.

"Don't just praise me with words. Can you give me something substantial as a reward? You are an emperor after all. 20 taels is too little."

But Anton only complained in his heart, and responded in a calm and dignified voice:

"Your Majesty, I am over-praising you. I am only fulfilling my duty and doing my best for Daliang."

Zhu Wen laughed out loud upon hearing this and was very satisfied with An Dongjun. He then announced a banquet and the carefully prepared delicacies were served one after another, filling the long banquet table.

There was singing and dancing, and the palace maids sang and danced gracefully, adding a touch of luxury to the atmosphere.

Zhu Wen personally raised his cup and toasted An Dongjun: "Your ancestor is brave, and I give you a cup of imperial wine today."

'It's just all these empty words.'

Anton Jun looked normal, but he rolled his eyes at him in his heart and cursed him secretly. He took the wine cup, bowed deeply, and then drank the cup of imperial wine.

While the banquet was going on, a sword light flashed through the eyes of the ministers below the stage and went straight towards Zhu Wen's head.

While everyone was stunned, Anton Jun's figure instantly disappeared from his seat.

The next moment he grasped the sword blade with his hand, and blood gradually flowed out of Anton Jun's palm, but he seemed not to feel the pain. He turned around and kicked the assassin.

Although the assassin blocked the attack with his hands, he was still pushed back dozens of steps.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Anton Jun ignored the injury on his hand and revealed an inexplicable smile under the mask, because the thief was Anle.

Zhu Wen also reacted at this time and shouted angrily: "Come here! Capture him for me!"

But after a long time, there was no movement outside. Anle slowly said, "Don't worry, they will never appear again."

Ever since he said that, all the ministers and Zhu Wen were filled with panic. Who was this person? How could he dare to assassinate Emperor Liang openly? This was too reckless.

But the key is that he is really powerful. He can kill the guards outside without anyone noticing.

A black shadow attacked Anle. He wore a hairband decorated with five skulls. He had pale skin, a short stature, a pair of horns on his forehead, and the symbol of the Xuanming Sect printed between his eyebrows.

Yes, he is the Hades Emperor Zhu Yougui, who once skipped the first volume of the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Divine Art and forced himself to practice the second volume, and thus went astray and turned into a dwarf, becoming neither human nor ghost.

I saw his body moving violently, black air surrounding him, his palm was vicious, and he rushed straight towards Anle from his seat.

Anle also faced him head-on, but Zhu Yougui only exchanged palm strikes with Anle once, and before the stalemate lasted for a few seconds, his body flew backwards, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he said unwillingly:

"How could my great Heavenly Rank power be so vulnerable?"

Poor baby Hades, he was completely stunned. The worldview he had built up after years of practice completely collapsed. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder where this person came from.

Lord An Dong shouted angrily, "How dare you, you bastard, attempt to assassinate your majesty and damage the pillars of our country."

"Emperor Liang is incompetent and the Xuanming Sect is aiding and abetting his evil deeds. It's a pity that you, with such powerful strength, are working for them." Anle's emotionless voice sounded.

Before Zhu Wen and the others could speak, An Dongjun started to curse:

"How dare you! Your Majesty has devoted all his energy to the reproduction of the people of Daliang. How can you slander us? Think about how prosperous Daliang is. Watch out, villain!"

As he said that, he rushed forward, waving the phantom sword in his hand and started fighting with Anle.

Every time the two sides swung their swords, it seemed to carry the power of wind and thunder. On the surface, they were evenly matched, but after all, Anton Jun was injured, so Anle was still better.

But Anton Jun was not bad either. Although he was injured, he used his injuries to stimulate stronger fighting power. Every attack was extremely accurate, and he became more and more courageous as the battle went on.

The decorations and furnishings in the hall were constantly destroyed by the aftermath of the confrontation between the two men, but neither of them suffered any more injuries, which reminded people of that scene.

Two men were dancing in the heavy rain...

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

After a long time, Anle realized that the guards were coming and chose to retreat.

At that moment, his internal energy gushed out, and an astonishing aura burst out from his body. He launched a crescent-shaped attack into the sky, heading straight for Zhu Wen's head, and then immediately fled outside. In a short while, his figure disappeared into the night.

Anton Jun hurriedly used his body as a shield, came in front of Zhu Wen and used his internal force to block the attack, and then everyone heard only an explosion.

When the smoke cleared, the originally magnificent hall was beaten to pieces by the two men. Fu Hai was also beaten to the point of being on the verge of collapse, and the surrounding area was in ruins.

Anton Jun was half-kneeling on the ground, his upper body clothes had been blown to only a few rags, and there was a one-foot wide "blood mark" from left to right on his chest. Only Zhu Wen was not hurt at all.

Zhu Wen managed to escape death. He looked at An Dongjun who had blocked the knife for him, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

Anton Jun looked at the stunned crowd, and said in his heart, "Mmp!" He couldn't help but speak slowly:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Ahem... It's all my fault for being incompetent and not being able to keep the thief alive. Ahem..."

Although Zhu Wen was filled with anger towards the assassin, he still showed a good face to the man who risked his life to protect him, and said:

"I don't blame you, I just blame the thief for being too cunning. I didn't expect someone would dare to assassinate me in public."

Then he pointed his finger at the Hades and yelled:

"Rebellious son, how did you manage the guards of the imperial city? You actually let such a wicked person sneak in. If it weren't for the corpse ancestor, I would have been injured today. What crime would you be punished for?"

Zhu Yougui was about to explain something, but An Dongjun was one step faster than him and quickly pleaded with Zhu Wen:

"Your Majesty, this is not the fault of the Dark Emperor. It's just that the thief is too cunning. Please calm down, Your Majesty. After all, the Dark Emperor has made great contributions to Daliang over the years.

It's just that the skills I practice are special. I was injured last time in Taiyuan. This time I forced my luck again. I'm afraid I have to go to my elder sister to heal my wounds, otherwise my life may be in danger. So I can't serve your majesty in the near future."

As he spoke, he showed a painful expression, as if he hated his own incompetence.

When Zhu Wen saw his appearance, his originally angry expression eased a lot and he no longer wanted to keep him.

He was already injured for Daliang, and this time he risked his life to protect me. It would be unreasonable to delay his recovery:

"Well, the most important thing is to get well as soon as possible. I still have some magical medicine in my treasury, please take it and see if there is anything that can help your injury.

As for you, Zhu Yougui, from today on, you must strengthen the security of the palace. If there are assassins sneaking in again, I will hold you accountable!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" ("Thank you, Father, for your grace")

-

The next day

"I'm going to my elder sister's place to recuperate. I don't know when I'll come back next time. I'll take these things with me."

The silver reward from last time had been taken back to Fengxiang by the soldiers of Tongwenguan under the command of Anton Jun.

Of course, the name used was that of the corpse ancestor, so no one would suspect it. After all, no one knew where Xuanduwu was.

In this fight, Anton Jun really shed blood, so Zhu Yougui and Zhu Wen rewarded him with a total of 40 taels of silver and five carts of medicinal materials.

Although the resources of the national treasury were used this time, after all, they had done a great job in protecting His Majesty and had even been injured as a result, so the ministers had no complaints.

"In that case, do you want me to send someone to go back with you?"

Zhu Yougui also expressed concern.

To be honest, although he didn't have much conversation with this new corpse ancestor, he still had a little bit of good impression of him.

Simply put, this incident was his fault, but not only did he not say anything, he also pleaded for himself in front of his father and praised himself as a pillar of the country.

I originally wanted to keep him, but when I thought about his urgent injury, I gave up.

"No need. The big sister doesn't like to be disturbed. Last time someone offended her, she buried them all on the spot. So you understand, right?" (Jiang Chen: "If you hadn't been so mean in Raojiang, would I have buried you?")

After hearing this, Zhu Yougui no longer insisted and sighed, "Well, Chu Yan, take care of yourself. After all, you are also the pillar of our Daliang!"

"Yes! I will!"

The Oscar-winning actor appeared again and acted with Zhu Yougui for about a quarter of an hour before leaving.

Those words were full of self-blame for not being able to do enough for Daliang and inexplicable admiration for Liang State. Everyone around felt guilty after hearing them. Is Liang State as good as you say?
