C54 Remand Cell

"This subject... Guilty! " What else could Prince Zhuge Ming say? He was already thinking of strangling Liu Yong to death. It would be fine for him to just give a name and at least delay the crisis before him.

Even if Dongfang Jianxiong investigated afterwards, he still had time to arrange everything. If you said everything right before the court, wouldn't that just be waiting for death?

King Zhuge Ming walked forward and kneeled on the ground. His intestines had turned green from the destruction, why did he have to agree to such a thing like Liu Yuehua? Why did he make such a disappointing thing into the top scorer of the National Education Examination?

Perhaps it was due to the fact that he had succeeded in doing this in the past that made him feel more confident. After all, he was the one who brought up all these people.

"You are guilty. What crime have you committed?" Dongfang Jianxiong's tone returned to normal, but it was precisely this sort of usual behavior that made the officials tremble with fear. The anger was not frightening, but rather the usual expression that spoke of matters of anger.

"This subject... You should not have given Liu Yong an answer! " King Zhuge Ming prostrated on the ground and said.

"Is there only Liu Yong?" Dongfang Jianxiong countered with a question.

"This subject... "Guilty …" What else could King Zhuge Ming say, but these three words already explained everything. Liu Yong was definitely not the only one.

"I ask you, when you were doing this, did you ever think of a question? What would the consequences be in the future when the Empire is controlled by a bunch of unskilled people?" Dongfang Jianxiong asked.

"A fallen nation!" King Zhuge Ming said two words clearly.

"As you know, everyone knows. Therefore, I believe that you must have other motives for bringing people like him into the court." Dongfang Jianxiong's gaze was as sharp as lightning. To be able to become the ruler of an entire country, that was no ordinary thinking. He had already thought through many related issues through this matter.

True, he had other plans, but when Dongfang Jianxiong said those four words, he was still shocked.

How could King Zhuge Ming, who controlled the three main legions, allow himself to be alone forever? Perhaps only he knew of his ambition.

The reason why he helped Liu Yuehua wasn't just because of someone's lover. He had his trusted aides within and outside the imperial court, so over time, everyone within the imperial court would be gradually taken over by him. In the future, when he wanted to scheme for something, he would try his best.

However, this plan of his finally came to an end with Liu Yong. When Liu Yong spoke of the Willow Flower, he knew that all his plans had failed.

From today onwards, Dongfang Jianxiong would definitely thoroughly investigate the inside and outside of the imperial court. The person he was carrying with him would be completely eliminated. What he needed to think about now was how to survive.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Please spare my wife and children. They are innocent." King Zhuge Ming crawled on the ground with a sincere attitude.

"Spare your wife and children? "You plotted against the imperial court and tried to use the power of your trusted aides to erode the rights of the imperial court. In the future, you would raise your troops and call out a hundred times in my stead, and you would be the emperor. This is the crime of a family of nine being slashed to pieces!" Dongfang Jianxiong's gaze was pressing. These words caused King Zhuge Ming's face to turn pale, but he still kept his head down so that no one could see what he was thinking.

The officials and officials trembled in fear when they heard this. Wasn't King Zhuge Ming doing a favor to the family and friends of his wife and children? Was there really such a huge crime?

However, anyone who dared to refute Dongfang Jianxiong at this time would definitely be courting death, so no one made a sound. Everyone spoke in unison and didn't dare to even breathe.

"Drag this emperor down and lock him up …" Dongfang Jianxiong no longer had any intentions to continue interrogating him. However, the moment he said those words, King Ming, who was lying prostrate on the ground, suddenly exploded.

No one would have thought that King Zhuge Ming would have the guts to attack Dongfang Jianxiong in front of all the other officials. He leaped like a mad frog.

Without a doubt, the mighty cultivation of the True Essence realm was revealed. His right hand was like an eagle's claw as he clawed towards Dongfang Jianxiong's neck. Before his right hand reached him, the golden claw had already arrived in front of him.

"How dare you! Are you rebelling?" Before Dongfang Jianxiong could make his move, the eunuch beside him turned into a blur and arrived in front of him.

Without any hesitation, the palm struck forward. The shadow claw-clawed against the palm, and a loud bang resounded through the True Dragon Palace. King Zhuge Ming was startled, his body flew backward uncontrollably, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. However, the eunuch who attacked was as steady as Mt. Tai, standing still on the spot.

King Zhuge Ming fell to the ground and endured the pain. He intended to turn around and flee, but there were already countless soldiers surrounding him.

"What a great King Zhuge Ming. Withdraw the three military orders, seal his cultivation and put him in prison for us." Dongfang Jianxiong's expression became even gloomier.

Everyone was surprised by Zhuge MingKing's actions, but this was indeed his last bet. After this incident, he basically had no chance of making a comeback. Anyways, it was a capital offense, so he might as well make another bet.

However, he did not expect that his father-in-law would have such a strong cultivation base, so he was defeated and had no chance of rising up again.

Dongfang Jianxiong's gaze was like lightning. His gaze swept across the officials standing below him, "All those who were involved with King Ming stood out and I will let you die. If I find out, you will be killed along with the rest of the nine families."

Dongfang Jianxiong's actions also quickly reached Yun Feixue's ears. A third of the officials in the middle section of the court were dismissed, and quite a few of them sentenced to death.

This move of his was destined to be recorded in the history books of the Hidden Dragon Empire, but very few people would know that Dongfang Jianxiong's actions were caused by a mysterious person who gave him a piece of information. This information was also verified by Yun Feixue's hand, and the root cause was because the son of King Ming, Zhuge Lei, had attacked Yun Feixue's shop.

"King Zhuge Ming, you sure are bold. You dare to go straight for Dongfang Jianxiong." Yun Feixue smiled faintly. He naturally understood that this was the last battle of King Zhuge Ming, but without great courage, it was impossible for him to do so.

"Now that King Zhuge Ming has been sent to prison, it will be my turn next." Yun Feixue's smiling face suddenly turned ice-cold again.

"Inform all Umbra's people to gather outside the prison tonight, except for Ling'er, who still has a mission to complete." Yun Feixue rushed to Xiao Cui who was not far from him and said.

"Yes, young master!" Xiao Cui nodded excitedly, she understood that this time, Yun Feixue might have to make a huge one.

Midnight. Outside of the prison, Yun Feixue and twelve shadows were crawling behind a wall. Yun Feixue was probably the first person that dared to come to the prison to rescue him.

This was not only because the guards inside and outside the prison were several times more powerful than other prisons. The prisons here were crisscrossed with each other like a maze. Not only would unfamiliar people be unable to find their target, they would even be surrounded alive.

The patrolling guards will switch to another class every hour, so we chose to make our move at that time. We were completely unaware of the situation inside, so the first thing we did after we entered was to find out the place where King Zhuge Ming was being held. Your job was to delay the other experts in the prison. Yun Feixue ordered softly.

"Yes, young master!" The twelve shadows replied softly.

Just as Yun Feixue was about to get up, his movements suddenly froze. The others also quickly returned to their original positions.

Just as Yun Feixue was about to make his move, several whooshing sounds came from the left and Yun Feixue saw the patrolling guards fall to the ground one after another. After taking care of these guards, several figures that had merged with the darkness suddenly shot out towards the entrance of the prison.

He took out the key from one of the guards and the dozen or so guards quickly opened the door and disappeared into the darkness.

"Who are these people?" A shadow whispered.

"They should also be here to save King Ming. If that's the case, we might not need to take the risk of entering the prison anymore. These people have done everything for us." A hint of a smile appeared on Yun Feixue's face.

He did not know whether these people were the Golden Dragon Guards or not, but they were definitely here to save King Zhuge Ming. Putting everything aside, if King Zhuge Ming dared to assassinate Dongfang Jianxiong, then that would be the crime of exterminating nine clans.

Only the heavens knew when Dongfang Jianxiong would execute him, so he had to rescue him the first night he was locked up. This was also Yun Feixue's idea, otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to make a move.

"We'll just wait and see. From the looks of it, they are all well-trained experts. They should be able to succeed. We can just snatch them from their hands." Yun Feixue said in a low voice.

The thirteen of them hid in secret and observed the prison's every move. However, as time passed, Yun Feixue's expression became more and more unsightly.

Because there was no sound of fighting coming from the prison, they could only hear the chirping of insects in the night.

An hour later, no one came out. The prison doors were still wide open. No one came out.

Trap...

Yun Feixue seemed to understand everything. Perhaps Dongfang Jianxiong had already predicted that someone would rescue Dongfang Jianxiong by robbing the prison at night, so he had set everything up in advance in the prison, waiting for these people to fall into his trap.

Yun Feixue was startled to the point that cold sweat broke out from his back. If he were to rush in with his shadow just now, would the consequences be the same as them?

Why did he have to save King Zhuge Ming?

Only those who were with him would be able to save him, so Yun Feixue was glad that he did not act early. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a figure staggered out from the door. With the help of the surrounding firelight, Yun Feixue's eyes suddenly lit up. This person … Wasn't that King Zhuge Ming?
