Chapter 141 Blood Palace

Nanyang County, Gu's house.

Wearing a dark purple wide-sleeved brocade robe and a jade crown on his head.

Gu Wenhui sat in the study and threw the letter paper he had read into the brazier.

He slowly stood up, calmly arranged his clothes, and walked out of the study.

"Everything is ready." Outside the study, Lu Zheng heard the sound of the door opening, turned around and looked at Gu Wenhui who walked out, and said in a deep voice.

Behind him, the yard was full of fully armed elite soldiers.

These soldiers looked indifferent and looked straight ahead, as if they didn't care about anything except receiving orders.

These were the dead soldiers that Gu Wenhui had collected and carefully cultivated over the years. They were only loyal to him and obeyed his orders absolutely.

Even if they were asked to die for him and draw their swords to commit suicide, they would not hesitate. Hesitation for a second would be disloyalty to him.

Moreover, each of these dead soldiers had a strong aura, and they undoubtedly had a good level of cultivation in martial arts.

God knows how much money and silver resources Gu Wenhui has poured into training this group of elite warriors.

Just look at the expenditure budget that Song Changming has spent on training. If this is the case for one warrior, the training cost for this group of warriors must be an astronomical figure.

However, Gu Wenhui did not feel heartbroken. He knew that as long as today's work was done, all the previous investments and years of hard work would be worth it.

As long as today's work was done!

When Gu Wenhui thought of this, he could not help but feel a little excited.

The Chu family's imperial power was born nearly a thousand years ago and has long been deeply rooted in the Dahan Dynasty.

Today, he will challenge this imperial power and tell the world.

This world belongs to everyone in the world!

"Let's start. Don't let me down." Gu Wenhui raised his hand and said slowly.

The eyes of the warriors in the courtyard changed instantly, revealing coldness and killing.

In the city, the Huangyu military camp.

"According to the order of the king, the Imperial Feather Army will leave the city immediately to assist Muye County and quell the unrest within three days!"

"Yes, I will obey your order!"

After receiving the order from the fifth prince and confirming that it was correct, General Su Muxin of the Imperial Feather Army had doubts in his heart and could not help asking the person who delivered the order: "Eunuch Li, is this a bit inappropriate? If the Imperial Feather Army leaves the city, who will protect the king's safety?"

"General Su, don't worry about it. This is the king's personal order. Just do it. Nanyang County is very safe. There is no need to worry about it in just three days." Eunuch Li said with a stern face.

"Yes." Su Muxin agreed and did not ask any more questions.

"General Su needs to act faster. The king does not want to see the county city in turmoil in three days." Eunuch Li did not forget to urge before leaving.

"Eunuch Li, please rest assured. It takes three days to quell the unrest in a county city!" Su Muxin said conceitedly.

As the army in the city left, the first general under the command of the fifth prince left.

As dusk approached, the four gates of the Nanyang County City were closed early for some reason.

A strange atmosphere permeated the high walls.

The palace where the fifth prince lived was magnificent, as if it was built with golden bricks and jade tiles.

The moving melody played by the musical instrument came from the palace.

The fifth prince sat high on the throne, with the beauty in his arms, drinking and enjoying himself.

Below were a group of civil and military officials, toasting.

Today was the birthday banquet of the fifth prince, and they all came to celebrate.

Among them was Gu Wenhui, who was sitting behind the table with a smile, neither eating nor drinking.

"Gu Qing, is the wine and food not to your taste today?" The fifth prince laughed.

"The wine and food are delicious, but I am not feeling well today, which has ruined the king's interest. I hope you will forgive me." Gu Wenhui bowed and said.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, Gu Qing, you have to take care of yourself. I will build my kingdom in the future, and I still need you to give me advice."

It can be seen that the fifth prince is very happy today.

No wonder.

Now in the battle with the imperial army, the fifth prince's army has more victories than defeats. At present, the seven counties have only lost a few small counties, which is not a big deal.

Being able to drag the imperial army to this extent is a success for him.

After all, the only one who is really anxious is the new emperor in the court, his third brother.

As long as the world is not pacified, he, the new emperor, will not be able to sit still.

And the longer it is delayed, the more chaotic the court will be, and the military strength and supplies of the court will become less and less until they are exhausted.

Gu Wenhui echoed a few words, looking at the high-ranking officials around the fifth prince, who took advantage of this situation to flatter the fifth prince, and the strange emotions that kept rising in his heart became more and more intense.

He was even a little impatient.

After three rounds of drinking, when everyone was getting drunker and drunker, and the maids around the fifth prince were wearing fewer and fewer clothes, without any warning, the palace gate was kicked open.

Many soldiers with swords rushed in quickly, and without saying a word, they put their swords on the necks of the civil officials, making them dare not move.

The drunkenness in his mind was instantly swept away.

"Bold!" The military officer slammed the table and stood up. Just as he was about to explode in anger, he felt that his body was weak and powerless, and was easily subdued by the soldiers.

Only then did he realize that the wine and food were most likely drugged in advance!

And it can work on warriors, so this must not be an ordinary drug.

"Whose subordinates are you, are you going to rebel!" The fifth prince was also furious, and he stood up and shouted.

On him, the powerful aura that seemed to come from the imperial family shone through his body, which was quite oppressive, but it could not deter these dead soldiers.

Seeing a group of assassins holding weapons and rushing towards him step by step, the Fifth Prince became a little panicked.

"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

No guard outside the door responded to his call, only several guards standing behind the throne drew their swords to block the fifth prince.

"Your Highness! It is not advisable to stay here for long, let's go first!"

A guard made a prompt decision, grabbed the fifth prince who was wearing loose clothes, and retreated.

But the next moment, Lu Zheng led a group of elite soldiers from the back of the palace and blocked the fifth prince's last retreat.

Even though these guards had amazing martial arts skills, they could not stop the fearless attack of the dead soldiers.

In addition, they needed to be distracted to protect the fifth prince, which made them unable to fight with all their strength.

Although they finally managed to get out of the palace, they were soon surrounded by more soldiers outside.

After a long commotion, the fifth prince with disheveled hair was escorted back.

"Who is it! Who hurt me!" The fifth prince screamed.

He could never have imagined the sudden change today.

Why did he end up like this when the situation was so good!

He swept through all the soldiers present, and suddenly his eyes fixed on one place.

Gu Wenhui, who was always sitting firmly in his seat and calm.

In the whole place, only his neck was not covered with a knife.

"You! It's you!"

The fifth prince was not stupid to the end. At this moment, he finally discovered that Gu Wenhui was different.

Gu Wenhui brushed off his clothes and stood up slowly.

The soldiers along the way did not stop him at all.

He walked to the fifth prince like this, looking down at him calmly.

"Thank you for your help, my king. If it weren't for your royal banner, it would not be easy for me to occupy these seven counties."

"What did you say?!" The fifth prince was shocked, and his heart was turbulent.

"Now that the seven counties are under your governance, people are complaining and wailing. It is only right for me to overthrow your rule, which is in line with public opinion." Gu Wenhui said this with a grateful smile on his face.

As if he was really thanking the Fifth Prince for his efforts.

"You have been using me from beginning to end!" The Fifth Prince was full of hatred.

"Of course, when I was in Yunling City, I saw your incompetence and stupidity, so I served you as my master. If you were really wise and powerful, how dare I plot these things?"

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Gu Wenhui relaxed and was not in a hurry.

In fact, for the sake of comprehensiveness, he arranged many back-up plans, but now it was unexpectedly smooth, which made many of his preparations useless.

A birthday banquet brought together most of the Fifth Prince's important officials, allowing him to catch them all at the most relaxed time.

Such an opportunity only happens once a year.

The fifth prince could not accept his cowardly ending and became hysterical.

But his power had been devoured by Gu Wenhui beside him without his knowledge, and he had no possibility of resistance.

In the history books, he will become the most valuable stepping stone in the history of the Dahan Dynasty, helping Gu Wenhui to ascend to the throne and officially step into the chess table of the world as a chess player.

Gu Wenhui took the long sword from the armored soldier beside him and stepped on the head of the fifth prince.

"Success is the king and failure is the bandit, Chu Hong, I will send you off first, and I will let your brothers accompany you in the future."

In the end, Gu Wenhui took off all his disguises, even stopped calling him the king, and cut him off with a sword.

The fifth prince, who had the blood of an emperor, was beheaded directly.
