Shen Chou sneered and didn't even think of asking why. He looked at the expressions of everyone present with cold eyes, as if he wanted to engrave their expressions of taking advantage of his misfortune in his heart forever!

Just as those people were speaking in a sarcastic tone, all kinds of forged evidence and slanderous words fell into Shen Chou's ears.

He just sneered and drank the tea in the cup!

The young emperor Qin Shi looked at Shen Chou with a dark gaze, "My dear! Do you have anything to explain?"

Ever since Shen Chou fell out with the emperor for Yu Ruyue, the young emperor had made it clear that as long as Shen Chou was the marquis, he would have no way of making him bow his head and submit to him.

So, he and King Jing Qin Yu hit it off and planned to pull him down from his high position at the palace banquet. Only when he fell into the dust would he have the opportunity to lock him up in his harem forever.

Shen Chou just thought this question was very funny. He believed that he had done his job conscientiously. Over the years, although he used cruel methods, he had never accepted bribes, bullied the weak, or colluded with his cronies. He just wholeheartedly served as a knife in the emperor's hand, helping him to eliminate those dirty things in the dark. But in the end, all of this could not withstand the little emperor's dirty thoughts about him.

If it weren't for Ruyue, he might have hated his face even more, which was more beautiful than a woman's. When he knew the little emperor's dirty thoughts, he would have scratched his face, killed everyone by taking poison at the palace banquet, or thrown a large amount of poison into the moat, letting the entire Kyoto and even the entire country be buried with him.

But now that he has the goblin, he not only doesn't hate his face, but is grateful for having this face that can attract the goblin's attention.

But these people with dirty thoughts who want to control their own destiny deserve to die. However, this time he will not choose to poison them, but will do it in a fair and upright manner, making these people admit defeat with conviction.

"Report!"

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Chou, waiting for his answer, a young eunuch suddenly staggered in from outside.

"Your Majesty, there are a large number of soldiers outside the city. They are armed with extremely lethal weapons and have blown open the city gate. They are coming all the way and are about to reach the gates of the Imperial City!"

At the palace banquet, all those who came to the palace to accompany the emperor to celebrate New Year's Eve and make fun of Shen Chou were confused by this sentence.

Why do I feel like I know every word, but can't understand them together? What does the Kyoto city gate look like? What kind of weapon could be so powerful that it could blow open that tall city gate?

Moreover, how come this group of people of unknown origin were so powerful that they could kill their way to the palace gate?

Are all the Five City Military Officers dead? Are all the soldiers in the western suburbs of Kyoto blind? And are the people in the City Patrol just decorations?

Boom!

Boom!

The deafening explosion frightened all the officials present to the point of their legs going weak. What on earth could have made that sound? Was it a punishment from heaven?

For a moment, people were in panic, and even the emperor sitting at the top felt a little uneasy.

Only Shen Chou admired the frightened expressions of these people with a smile on his face.

"Duke Protector of the Country! Prince Jing! Marquis Wu'an! I order you to lead the troops and subdue the rebels!"

Shen Chou sneered. After so many years, there were only a few of them who could be considered as capable generals in the court!

As a result, the Duke of Huguo is old and his health is not as good as before. Prince Jing is powerful, but he does not have many soldiers and horses. The other generals are also not as good as before. Only Shen Chou has been the emperor's sword for so many years, hovering between life and death every day, and is the leader of all military generals!

Those people who had just been taking advantage of Shen Chou's misfortune, acting sarcastic, and wishing Shen Chou dead, now all looked at Shen Chou with hope, as if the verbal battles just now had never happened.

Shen Chou stood up, played with the teacup in his hand, and silently calculated the time.

Boom!

The explosions were getting closer.

Anxiety was evident on the faces of everyone present. Even the young emperor could not help but stand up from his throne. "My dear minister! What do you mean by this? Are you trying to disobey my order?"

"I know you feel wronged. As long as you can return victorious, everything that happened before will be written off. It can be considered as your redemption."

Shen Chou looked at the teacup in his hand, drank the tea in it, and then threw it hard on the ground. The teacup shattered into pieces and the tea leaves inside splashed everywhere.

"presumptuous!"

Those officials stood up again and accused Shen Chou, trying to use this to control him!

"Don't think you can be so bold just because you're asked to atone for your sins."

"you……"

Shen Chou closed his eyes and turned his neck. There was no anger on his face as he listened to these accusations, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

The smile of the killer god in front of them frightened the officials who were just filled with righteous indignation so much that their legs went weak, and they always felt that something was wrong today.

Even the emperor, the Duke of Protectorate, and Prince Jing noticed that Shen Chou was a little abnormal.

Shen Chou slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of madness and excitement, "Is everything finished? Is there anything else to add?"

The Duke of Protectorate, among all the people present, no one knows Shen Chou better than him!

He still remembered the last time he saw Shen Chou with this expression, it was when he ordered the massacre!

Sure enough, the next second, Shen Chou excitedly shouted, "Kill! Don't spare any of the officials who just spoke!"

After he gave the order, the people who had rushed in to attack Shen Chou instantly turned their knives towards those sarcastic officials.

Those officials had terrified eyes and before they could even utter a word of begging for mercy, their necks were slashed by a knife. In an instant, the only sound in the entire hall was the muffled sound of the knife piercing flesh.

And the resistance of those generals and King Jing!

"Shen Chou! Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Shen Chou moved his shoulders, and someone immediately handed him a sword!

Shen Chou took the sword and made a very beautiful sword flower.

He listened to the painful howls and looked at the blood all over the ground in front of him. He felt the blood in his body begin to boil. Then, he took the knife and joined the battle!

The rumbling sound outside continued.

At this time, the little emperor finally guessed who made the noise outside!

Under the protection of his guards, he quickly retreated towards the palace behind him, but his eyes were always locked on Shen Chou. He didn't understand why things had developed to this point. Wasn't the love he gave him enough?

Why would he betray himself!?

It was only one step away, and he would be with me forever, never to be separated.

He is the emperor! The Son of Heaven!

And he was just a mouse with unknown parents, despised by everyone. Was it unfair for him to be with me?!
