After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"Put down the knife!"

"Your Majesty!"

The Iron Cavalry Guards swarmed around them, confiscated the weapons of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and pinned them to the ground.

Kneeling on both knees, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were all completely bewildered.

what happened?

Why would anyone attack them?

They were the Embroidered Uniform Guards, directly under the command of the Empress.

This must be a dream.

One of the Embroidered Uniform Guards slapped his companion hard across the face, and seeing the other man wince in pain, he looked even more puzzled.

It's true, it's actually true.

Not only did the Imperial Grandson of the Emperor obstruct the Embroidered Uniform Guard from handling the case, but he also arrested them all.

This guy must be tired of living.

The Emperor's wrath will soon ignite.

Stripping him of his princely status is the least he can do.

They might strip him of his imperial status, or even cost him his life.

twenty years ago.

The second prince, ignorant of his own limitations, obstructed the Embroidered Uniform Guard from handling the case.

Empress Wu was furious. She not only revoked his fiefdom, but also ordered that his title of king be stripped, his imperial status be revoked, and that he be demoted to a commoner.

Unable to bear the shock, the second prince went insane on the spot.

His mother, Consort Shu, knelt outside the Imperial Study for three days and three nights before Emperor Wu reluctantly agreed to retain his status as a prince.

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards were forced to kneel, none of them showed any fear.

In his heart, he even sneered repeatedly.

……

"Your Highness is incredibly brave, daring to confront the Embroidered Uniform Guard head-on!"

"To repay Feng Ji's kindness, Your Highness is truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness!"

"What a pity! To oppose the Embroidered Uniform Guard is a capital offense!"

"Oh, how confused!"

The crowd watching from afar first erupted in astonishment.

Then came widespread suffering and devastation.

Your Highness Prince Yi, is this an attempt to rebel?

Killing one or two Embroidered Uniform Guards might allow him to escape punishment due to his status as a prince.

Arresting the entire team of Embroidered-Clad Guards handling the case was tantamount to rebellion.

After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was personally commanded by the Emperor.

To dare to arrest them would be to directly slap the Martial Emperor in the face.

It’s over.

The Prince Yi of Liangzhou, who loved his people dearly, had already embarked on a path to certain death.

"Hey!" The masked man in brocade robes, hiding behind the big locust tree, stamped his foot in regret.

"We should have stopped him sooner."

The leather boots that had taken a few steps hesitated for a moment before retreating back behind the tree.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were vengeful, but it was all too late.

……

Inside the Feng residence.

Everyone in the Feng family knelt in rows, crowding the front yard.

The Feng family members knelt on one side, while the servants knelt on the other side.

A grand chair was placed in the center, with an embroidered guard on each side, who pressed Feng Ji into the chair.

Crimson blood flowed to his feet, soaking his white-soled, black-clad gangster boots.

The direction from which the blood flowed led to the bodies of more than a dozen servants lying in pools of blood.

Some had their ears cut off, some had their hearts gouged out... their deaths were extremely gruesome.

On the ground, three half-dead servants struggled and begged for a quick death.

The bloody scene was shocking.

Feng Ji looked grief-stricken and tried to close his eyes to refuse to look, but his eyes were forced open by two Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Raise your gaze.

Su Wen, dressed in a moon-white official robe embroidered with greedy wolves and carrying five cloud patterns on his shoulder, held a long sword dripping with blood.

With a swift stroke of the blade, the few remaining servants all fell into pools of blood.

"Lord Feng, have you made up your mind?"

"Your family members could be next."

The blood-stained tip of the knife was pointed at the pale-faced eldest son of the Feng family.

Feng Ji angrily cursed:

“You scoundrel Su, I have acted uprightly and stood the straight path.”

"Even if I killed everyone in the Feng family, I still couldn't figure out what crime I had committed!"

"Lord Feng is joking. You have lived a life of integrity, how could you possibly be guilty?" Su Wen said with a smile.

"I am innocent, so you're trying to frame me?!"

The gleaming silver blade smeared across the face of the eldest son of the Feng family.

Blood stained his pale face, and the eldest son of the Feng family gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound, but his body swayed uncontrollably and he almost fell over.

With a satisfied smile, Su Wen continued:

"Oh, how could that be? Frame-up a government official is a capital offense. How could I, Su, break the law while enforcing it?"

"..." Feng Ji was a little confused.

Should we not frame him?

The curved blade was pressed against the neck of the eldest son of the Feng family. With a gentle press, a bloody gash appeared instantly.

Su Wen smiled sinisterly and said:

"That depends on what crime Lord Feng will pin on himself?"

With that, the blade tightened, and blood flowed down the tip.

Looking at his son, who was on the verge of death, Feng Ji's gaze turned tragic as he swept over the corpses scattered on the ground.

Finally, his momentum gave way, and he yielded:

"I...insulted His Majesty, a grave offense of disrespect!"

"Oh, Lord Feng, why are you insulting His Majesty?"

"me……"

Feng Ji's eyes widened, almost bleeding, "I insulted His Majesty because I felt indignant on behalf of the Crown Prince!"

"Is it just insults?"

Su Wen, still not finished, asked, "Isn't it because you received orders from the Crown Prince to prepare for a rebellion?"

Imperial grandson?

Feng Ji looked relieved.

The person the Embroidered Uniform Guards were after was Zhou Yi.

"no!"

Feng Ji resolutely refused, "His Highness Prince Yi is known for his benevolence. Even if the Feng family is wiped out, I will never allow my grandson to be subjected to injustice!"

He was willing to abandon his reputation to save his family's lives.

However, I will absolutely not smear the imperial grandson.

"So loyal, how touching!"

Su Wen sneered, "As long as you expose the Grandson of the Imperial Family, the Commander will protect the lives of your entire family. Lord Feng, you should think it over."

"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Feng Ji laughed heartily, "Back then, you orchestrated the Crown Prince's wrongful conviction, and that old scoundrel Jiang Chong is scared now!"

"And you, Su Wen, the henchman who aided and abetted Jiang Chong's evil deeds!"

“Nonsense,” Su Fang retorted angrily, “What is so terrible about a disgraced imperial grandson?”

"You're afraid, of course you're afraid! What you're afraid of is His Majesty."

"Humph"

"You, who were involved in the Crown Prince's wrongful conviction, were all executed by the Empress. Aren't you afraid?"

"Hahaha……"

Su Wen smiled too.

"Lord Feng, can you guess why the Emperor didn't kill Commander Jiang Chong and me?"

"The time has not yet come."

"Wrong! That's because Commander Jiang and I are the sharpest blades in His Majesty's hands."

Whoever he doesn't like, we'll kill.

Feng Ji: "You attacked the imperial grandson, could it be that His Majesty...?"

"Not bad!"

Su Wen said smugly:

"Emperor Wu sent the grandson of the emperor to the desolate land of Liangzhou because he didn't want to see him and wanted him to fend for himself."

"But he returned to the capital without imperial decree, coveting the position of crown prince."

"What Your Majesty finds difficult to do, we, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, will do for Your Majesty."

"This is what is meant by 'eating the king's food and relieving his worries.'"

"Judging by the time, the Imperial Grandson will be entering the city soon. Lord Feng, you don't have much time left..."

Su Wen continued to boast, while Feng Ji's eyes widened, staring intently at the gate.

Slowly turning his head, Su Wen was suddenly startled, and resolutely slashed down with his long sword.

The dark python robe exuded royal majesty, and Zhou Yi appeared behind him without anyone noticing.

As a Golden Core cultivator, he was completely unaware that his opponent was closing in from behind.

Could it be that, as legend has it, the grandson of the Emperor has already advanced to the level of a Grandmaster?

What terrified Su Wen even more was...

Without the opponent making any move, the curved blade in his hand couldn't cut even a fraction of an inch.

It was as if an invisible hand was firmly gripping the blade.

"Grandson Si, how dare you... the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate a case..."

Even though the opponent's cultivation level was higher, Su Wen remained fearless.

The Empress standing behind the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the source of his fearlessness.

A glance at the mangled corpses scattered on the ground, and Zhou Yiping's calm gaze suddenly turned cold.

Su Wen felt as if a snake had been pinched at its seven-inch mark, and he was completely unable to move.

Upon seeing the deputy commander being taken hostage, more than a dozen Embroidered Uniform Guards in the courtyard simultaneously drew their curved swords.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Feng Ji was very anxious and blurted out a reminder.

Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, he recognized Zhou Yi the moment he stepped into the courtyard.

"roll!"

Zhou Yi opened his lips and gave a soft shout. More than ten Embroidered Uniform Guards were struck as if by a heavy hammer, and their bodies were suddenly sent flying backward.

He fell over the courtyard wall, vomiting blood uncontrollably, and was immediately subdued by the Iron Cavalry Guards.

"You are Su Wen?"

Zhou Yi glanced coldly at Su Wen.

The person who turned the Crown Prince's wrongful conviction into an ironclad case was Jiang Chong.

Su Wen was his biggest accomplice.

"It is indeed your humble servant!"

Su Wen didn't believe Zhou Yi would dare to kill him. "I advise Your Highness..."

"Oh!"

Su Wen was crushed on the spot, leaving no trace of his body.

Only a wisp of blood mist gradually drifted down and dissipated...

"do not want!"

Feng Ji shouted to stop him, but he was a beat too late.

He shook his head gently, his heart sighing.

The emperor's grandson's wrath caused blood to splatter a hundred paces away.

What about the wrath of the Empress Wu?

"Master Feng, there's no need to worry."

Zhou Yi personally helped Feng Ji to his feet and solemnly said:

"With me here, you are safe and sound!"
