"It's our turn to perform."

At the city gate, Shu Changwu, who was confronting Luo Ge, grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

He slammed the spear in his hand into the ground, with the tip of the spear digging three inches into the ground, stirring up some dust.

"Pass on my order," Shu Changwu shouted gruffly, "Northern Frontier Cavalry, follow me into the city!"

"Yes!" The soldiers behind him responded in unison, and the sound almost overturned the city gate tower.

When Brother Luo saw this, his face suddenly changed. He never expected that the Northern Frontier Cavalry would appear at this moment!

He wanted to step forward to stop them, but was blocked by Shu Changwu with his spear.

"Commander Luo, we are not enemies, there is no need to fight to the death. Don't worry, we are just here to settle old scores. We are not competing with King Hui for that chair." Shu Changwu advised kindly.

Brother Luo looked at the black mass of Northern Frontier cavalry, each of whom was full of vigor and vitality. He knew that there was no chance of winning if he tried to stop them head-on, so he had to grit his teeth and retreat: "General Shu, please keep your word."

Shu Changwu laughed and rode his horse into the pass. The Northern Frontier Cavalry followed closely behind him, their armor clanging as they headed towards the direction of the imperial palace.

At the main gate of the palace, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided.

An San hid in the shadows of the street corner. He raised his hand and fired a whistle arrow. The sharp whistle sounded, piercing the sky.

After sending the signal, he made a gesture, and several secret guards around him immediately surrounded Li Chenghui and others.

Outside Qianyuan Palace.

Hearing the sound of the arrow, Shu Changyu's eyes flickered slightly: "Do it."

At this time, Li Jingyan and his personal guards were moving quickly in the secret passage.

I don’t know how long it took, but a glimmer of light finally appeared before my eyes.

"We're here!" Gu Qianfan shouted excitedly, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.

Li Jingyan signaled his personal guards to go forward and investigate. The personal guards carefully pushed open the mechanism on the rockery, and the stone slab slid open silently, revealing an exit that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

Everyone came out of the secret passage one after another, and suddenly the view in front of them opened up, and they were in the depths of the Imperial Garden.

The sound of fighting could be heard faintly in the distance, and a hint of joy flashed across Li Jingyan's face: "Let's go, follow me and take Qianyuan Palace!"

As soon as the group rushed out of the Imperial Garden, they ran into the imperial guards running in from the main gate of the palace.

Li Jingyan took the lead, swinging his sword and killing several imperial guards. His battle robe was stained with blood, and his eyes flashed with madness.

The imperial palace is just around the corner and the throne is within reach!

Qianyuan Palace.

After dealing with the imperial guards at the door, An Yi raised his hand and pushed open the heavy palace door.

The door hinges made a sharp creaking sound, like a death knell.

Everyone in the hall turned around in panic upon hearing the sound. The ten-year-old emperor was held tightly in the arms of the empress dowager, and both mother and son were trembling.

Several old ministers looked deathly pale and collapsed to the ground.

In the corner, a young eunuch was standing with his head down, his expression unclear.

Just as the palace door was pushed open, he slowly raised his head and looked at the person who came.

Seeing that there were only two people coming, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shu Changyu walked slowly into the hall. He had a slender figure and steady steps, and every step seemed to step on everyone's tense nerves.

"You... who are you? How dare you trespass into the palace!" An elderly minister shouted bravely, but his voice couldn't stop trembling.

Shu Changyu ignored them. His eyes swept across the trembling young emperor and the empress dowager, and finally fell on the pale-faced old ministers. A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, which seemed to be mocking, but also indifferent.

"Yuan Ku, Gongsun He, Ci Shengtai..." He slowly read out a few names, and every time he read out a name, someone in the hall would suddenly change his expression.

"These adults should all still be alive."

"Who, who are you?" Yuan Ku asked with all his might, his cloudy old eyes revealing fear.

Shu Changyu walked forward slowly, and the soles of his boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the shiny gold bricks.

"Zhou Tingyuan, son of Zhou Lingyue." He opened his thin lips and uttered this long-forgotten name.

The name "Zhou Tingyuan" was given to him by General Zhou before he was born.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Several old ministers were struck by lightning and their faces turned as pale as paper in an instant.

Zhou Lingyue!

But wasn’t his case settled long ago? The late emperor also rehabilitated the Zhou family. How could there still be descendants of the Zhou family seeking revenge?

Besides, wasn’t the entire Zhou family executed?

How could there be any offspring alive?

The huge shock made them speechless for a moment, and they just stared blankly at the young man in front of them, as if they had seen a ghost.

Shu Changyu looked at their horrified expressions, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "Why, are you surprised?"

"Back then, my father was framed to pass on a false imperial decree and was wrongly imprisoned. He eventually committed suicide. Our entire family of loyal heroes suffered such a misfortune."

"My Lords, do you still remember what you did back then?"

Shu Changyu's voice was neither light nor heavy, but it was as cold as ice, and the temperature in the hall seemed to drop suddenly.

Yuan Ku's lips trembled violently. What did they do?

They were just following the emperor's wishes and adding fuel to the fire in Zhou Lingyue's case.

At that time, Zhou Lingyue was extremely powerful and his achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor, which had already aroused the suspicion of the previous emperor.

These people were just going with the flow and trying to protect themselves in the huge waves.

Is this also damnable?

Shu Changyu walked forward slowly, and the soles of his boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the shiny gold bricks.

The long sword in his hand was already unsheathed, the cold light reflected in his slightly cold eyes, and he approached the old minister who was lying limp on the ground step by step.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the hall, accompanied by the crisp sound of weapons clashing.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

It was the voice of the commander of the imperial guards, with a hint of hoarseness and urgency.

Shu Changyu paused slightly and looked sideways towards the palace gate.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "It looks like the 'guest' has arrived."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jingyan rushed into the hall with his personal guards, his body covered in blood, his face full of madness and pride.

“Hahahaha, the king finally—”

His laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes fell on the slender figure in the center of the hall, and his expression changed slightly.

Where did this person come from?

However, he did not notice that the moment Gu Qianfan, who was standing next to him, saw Shu Changyu, his pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body began to tremble violently, as if he had seen a ghost. He made strange hoarse noises from his mouth and could not utter a word.

It's him? !

Shu Changyu!

How could he be here?!

Shu Changyu glanced at him, his eyes cold as ice, as if he was looking at an insignificant ant.

Li Jingyan was filled with doubts when he saw this, but the throne was right in front of him, so he could not care about anything else. He shouted sternly, "Catch these two lunatics who broke into the palace!"

The guards took the order, drew their swords and rushed towards Shu Changyu.

An Yi flashed and stood in front of Shu Changyu. The short blade in his hand was as fast as lightning, instantly cutting the throats of the two guards.

Blood splattered, staining the gold bricks in the hall red.

Li Jingyan's face darkened and he subconsciously took a half step back. Only then did he see clearly that An Yi's skills were actually a top master.

A hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes.

Who are these two people?

"My army is outside the palace. If you know what's best for you, surrender and I may spare your lives!" Li Jingyan shouted in a timid tone, trying to overwhelm the other party with his momentum.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of orderly clanging of iron armor coming from outside the hall, carrying with it a terrifying pressure.

Li Jingyan immediately showed a look of joy. As long as his army arrived, no matter who the expert was, he would die!

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Seventh Uncle." The clear, bright young voice pierced through the noise and reached the hall.

Li Yanche walked into the palace gate holding a blood-stained sword, followed by a team of personal guards, looking very imposing.

"Your people have been captured by this king."

Li Jingyan turned around suddenly and saw Li Yanche's face which was somewhat similar to Shu Changyu. Then he heard him call him "Seventh Uncle". He immediately understood and his face turned pale.

"You little bastard! How dare you trick me?!"

Li Yanche's lips curled slightly, and a trace of sneer flashed in his phoenix eyes: "Why is the emperor's uncle angry? I am only here to mourn my brother and... to clear the court."

His eyes swept across everyone in the hall, lingered briefly on Shu Changyu, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.

Li Jingyan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had been planning for many years and was about to ascend the throne, but this little beast interfered!

"You are worthy enough?" Li Jingyan laughed grimly and suddenly drew his sword to point it at Li Yanche. "Today I will let you know what the difference between the noble and the humble is!"

Before he finished speaking, he swung his sword fiercely and stabbed at Li Yanche.

Li Yanche was prepared, he dodged sideways and blocked with his sword.

The two swords collided, sparks flying.

Everyone in the hall screamed and stepped back, fearing that they would be affected.

Shu Changyu watched coldly and did not intervene.

This is an internal fight within the Li royal family and has nothing to do with him.

His target from the beginning to the end was the court officials who participated in framing the Zhou family.

An Yi quietly retreated to his side and whispered, "Master, Li Chenghui and the others are here."

Shu Changyu nodded slightly and turned his gaze towards the palace gate.
