Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Although the time was very short, he had already memorized everyone's movements and positions.

His figure moved among the crowd.

Almost like lightning, within a few breaths, all the heavily armored guards present were killed in the throat with one sword!

These people do have means.

But in terms of combat capability, if they could really trap Du Zi, they would almost kill him here.

But if it's one-on-one, or when they take it by surprise.

Du Zi could easily kill them all.

His soft sword penetrated the gaps in the opponent's armor, and each time he struck the enemy in the throat.

After killing these people, the soft sword in Du Zi's hand was finally scrapped.

There were gaps of varying sizes on it.

Du Zi threw the soft sword aside, then walked forward and picked up a guard's spear.

He hurried towards the hall where Hua Yunhong was.

At the same time, Hua Yunhong had just put down his pen and paper in the hall and turned to look around.

Today they clearly found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere here.

Normally, there would be the footsteps of palace maids and guards outside.

It's been more than an hour today, and it's surprisingly quiet outside.

Even the dullest person can sense that something is wrong.

He already sensed the crisis.

He raised his hand and pressed a mechanism in the cabinet next to him.

Hua Yunhong pulled out a stick from it.

This is the Thousand Machine Stick that only members of the royal family, and those of extremely high status, can possess.

It can change into various forms and be used in combat, and its own weapon strength is also extremely high.

Only after taking out this stick did Hua Yunhong feel a little relieved.

Then he turned around and walked to the side, took out a cloak and put it on.

This is also one of his ways to save his life.

This cloak was specially made by the craftsmen here.

It can resist damage from swords, spears, swords and halberds, and can even block damage from fire attacks.

After thinking about it, Hua Yunhong still felt unsafe.

Then he pulled out a Thousand Machine Stick from the cabinet next to him.

If other people saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.

It is a luxury on the battlefield for one person to have two Thousand Machine Sticks.

No one expected that Hua Yunhong was such a cautious person, even keeping weapons in his own residence.

In fact, it is not Hua Yunhong's fault for being too cautious. It is mainly because there are too many struggles within the Shenmu Kingdom.

If you don't have a handy weapon with you.

Even Hua Yunhong himself didn't feel very peaceful when he slept.

So after saying this, he quickly opened his mouth and shouted to the outside.

"Somebody come!"

After shouting three times without any response, Hua Yunhong finally became convinced that he was in crisis.

Where did they go?

There was no one there, which was obviously a dangerous sign.

Should I stay in the palace or evacuate early?

Just as he was hesitating, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.

These sounds immediately frightened Hua Yunhong.

He quickly picked up the Thousand Machine Stick and prepared to change its form to fight the enemy.

But the next moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, something happened in the palace."

The person who came was Du Zi, who was covered in blood.

Hua Yunhong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.

"Those people must be planning to take action. There is a secret passage in the palace. Please follow me out of the palace first."

Their current situation is indeed quite complicated, especially at this stage.

When Qin Ming sent the newcomer, he told Hua Yunhong that there were undercurrents in his dynasty.

It’s just that Hua Yunhong didn’t make complete preparations at that time.

Because any sane person would probably think that even if these officials were rebellious, they would not kill the emperor.

But the fact is this. Not only did they want to kill Hua Yunhong, they even colluded with everyone inside and outside the palace. Only Hua Yunhong and his confidants were excluded.

"After we leave the palace, we will split into two groups. You go and inform Mu Liuming to come back quickly. I will hide in the underground passage now."

Hua Yunhong spoke quickly and handed the task to Du Zi.

The two men prepared a defensive plan as they walked.

But just as they crossed a corridor.

Suddenly, hundreds of guards appeared in front.

They were all people who broke into the palace.

Hua Yunhong was very familiar with every general standing in the front.

These were all generals demoted by him.

Unexpectedly, they came back to kill me.

"Hua Yunhong, you still want to run away?"

They laughed and rushed over with weapons in hand.

Talking too much nonsense will only waste their time in killing Hua Yunhong.

Everyone who comes to assassinate now is racing against time.

Seeing this scene, Du Zi rushed forward immediately.

Hua Yunhong was not alone. While he and Du Zi were traveling, they also gathered some of the remaining guards in the palace.

Now dozens of guards were following the two men, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

Hua Yunhong also joined the battle with the Thousand Machine Stick.

He and Du Ziyi held the Thousand Machine Sticks and used mechanical weapons to constantly change their forms and fight against the enemy.

After seeing him take out the Thousand Machine Stick, several generals present immediately sneered.

"Didn't you say you wanted to abolish mechanical arts? What are you using to defend yourself now?"

Hearing what the other party said, Hua Yunhong said calmly:

"When did I ever say I would abolish mechanical engineering? It's just that your minds are too narrow and you can't tolerate new technology."

Hua Yunhong wanted to gradually de-emphasize the use of mechanical devices after coexistence.

It's not a direct dethronement.

He even gave everyone enough time to adjust.

But after he spoke, no one believed him.

Because they felt that Hua Yunhong would definitely destroy these things that used mechanical technology.

Seeing that he couldn't explain himself clearly, Hua Yunhong didn't bother to talk nonsense with them.

He immediately took out the weapons in his hands and fought fiercely with them.

The fighting between the two sides became more and more intense.

At the same time, on the other side, Qin Ming and Chang Baishan's carriages had arrived at the southern border.

Fang Yuanjian was also here to see him off.

After Fang Yuanjian quickly completed the tasks assigned by Qin Ming, he personally rode a fast horse to the checkpoint.

Qin Ming was a little surprised when he saw him.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to send it?"

"That won't do. With the relationship between His Majesty and me, how can I not personally send him off?"

Fang Yuanjian spoke immediately and prepared to ride out of the customs with Qin Ming on horseback.

Before leaving, he took a batch of rare items from his collection and gave them to Qin Ming.

Originally, the relationship between him and Qin Ming was tense.

But since Qin Ming gave him two chariots, the two sides have become inseparable again.
