After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Imperial study, he ordered all the ladies to withdraw. When there was only Zhu Yuanzhang left in the Imperial study, he saw that Yuan Chenzong had come out from behind the screen. Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table angrily and asked, "Did you do this for mother's and son's blood?"

The sudden appearance of this matter frightened Yuan Chengzong to the point that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to this humble subject's explanation."

Zhu Yuanzhang angrily retorted, "What's the use of you explaining it now!? Now in the grand hall, all three princes are speaking of you, saying that you killed the innocent! Gathering crowds and conspiring against him! Tell me to send troops to kill you immediately! So what's the use of your explanation? "

Cold sweat dripped down Yuan Chengzong's forehead as he repeatedly kowtowed and said, "Your majesty, that Beiwu Lin is much stronger than this humble subject. This humble subject took the blood of mother and son just to create a Blood Drinking Sword so that we could control An Shiyi from becoming a party. Otherwise, not only will this humble subject's family be in danger of destruction, the entire family of Beiwu Lin will definitely threaten my Great Ming's Jiangshan Society in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang angrily said, "Yuan Chengzong, don't you understand? You are not strong enough, so you can come and report to me, and I will send someone to kill you, but you took the initiative to annex the entire Northern Martial Forest, and now, you have provoked the three princes and the officials of the civil and martial families, and now that all the civil and military officials have said the same, they view you as a thief who wants to rebel, I will eradicate you, and even I will not be able to protect you from the current situation! "

After hearing it, Yuan Chengzong asked with a trembling voice, "What does Your Majesty mean by this? Are you trying to kill this humble subject as well, Your Majesty? This humble subject is your brother, your majesty, and does not care about looking at the Buddhist side. Even if Your Majesty did not consider this humble subject's secret assistance to the emperor in the past few decades, even if this humble subject is your cousin on behalf of the emperor, please forgive this humble subject. "

If you win, you will die without a doubt, if you lose, the three kings will send out an order, and no matter what, you will not be able to get through this trial, not that I will not help you, this is the result of your own sin, and now that you are my elder brother, I advise you, quickly go back and pack your belongings and find a forest to hide in, this way you can preserve your life, otherwise, even I will not be able to help you. "

Yuan Chengzong did not say anything else after he heard it, he knew that it was useless to say anything now. He lowered his head and kowtowed three more times to Zhu Yuanzhang before saying in a low voice, "Take care, Your Majesty. This humble servant will not be able to service Your Majesty anymore in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything after he heard this, he only waved his hand to indicate for him to step back. Yuan Chenghong also did not say anything more and stood up, but his body did not move a single step.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and asked, "What else do you want? If you don't, then go back and quickly prepare. "

Yuan Chenzong lightly said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject has suddenly thought of an ingenious plan that might be able to protect this humble subject's life. However, I need Your Majesty's help."

Zhu Yuanzhang finished listening to "Oh?" He called out, "Tell me about it!"

Yuan Chengzong sneered and said, "Your Majesty, please follow me back to Jiangnan. As long as Your Majesty is in your hands, then forget about a mere Wanmei Manor, I'm afraid your humble servant will take over the entire world." Before he could finish his sentence, Yuan Chengzong's figure flashed and rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already felt that something was amiss when he had only heard half of it, but when he saw Yuan Chenzong suddenly rush over, Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed, "Ah!" With a loud shout, he dove under the table and quickly dodged. At the same time, he shouted continuously: "Protect!" Protect the king! "

When the imperial guards outside heard Zhu Yuanzhang's loud cry for help, they all drew their long blades from their waists and rushed in. Yuan Chenghong thought that he would definitely be able to catch Zhu Yuanzhang with that strike just now, but he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was not a martial arts expert, but at least he had been fighting for decades. Although he knew that he would not be able to beat Yuan Chenghong, dodging this strike was not a difficult task.

At this moment, the imperial guards rushed in, only to see Yuan Chenzong sneering as a pair of golden light suddenly shot out from his eyes, two beams of golden light continuously shot towards the incoming imperial guards. The imperial guards did not know the power behind Yuan Chenghong's eyes, although they were startled by the sudden change in expression in his face, they still charged forward.

The two beams of golden light from Yuan Chengzong's eyes swept across the bodies of these imperial guards who were rushing over, all of their bodies immediately burned with raging flames, causing them to scream in pain. Not long later, their entire bodies were burnt to ashes, upon seeing this scene, the imperial guards were so scared that they did not dare to step forward, while Zhu Yuanzhang was also scared to the point of not saying anything.

Seeing that the opportunity had arrived, Yuan Chenghong leaped over the table and was about to pull Zhu Yuanzhang out from under the table. But at this moment, he heard a "Boom!" A loud sound was heard as a figure flew in from outside the window. Yuan Chenzong turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a general clad in armor holding a steel whip and smashing it towards him.

The steel whip came extremely fast. Yuan Chenzong hurriedly dodged to the back. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hiding under the table, recognized this person and shouted loudly, "Li Aiqing, quickly save me!"

This person was no stranger, it was the former Vice General of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Li Jinglong, who had broken his spine with the Divine Whip. At this moment, with Zhu Yunwen's promotion, Li Jinglong had been promoted to the same position as the imperial guards by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, Li Jinglong said loudly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. With this humble subject here, Your Majesty will definitely be safe!"

Yuan Chengzong sneered and said, "You're the one known as Li Jinglong, the one with the broken spine, right?"

Li Jinglong said loudly, "Yes!"

Yuan Chengzong laughed after hearing it and said, "Li Jinglong, I think you better leave obediently. I have some friendship with your master, if you leave obediently, I can spare your life!"

After Li Jinglong heard this, he angrily said, "Thief, don't you dare spout such arrogant words. Look at my whip!" As he said that, Li Jinglong flew up and swung his whip at Yuan Chengzong's head.

When Li Jinglong saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. No matter what, his attainments on the whip had to be at least twenty years of cold and heat, but he didn't expect that Yuan Chengzhong would be able to catch it so easily. With this, even all of the imperial guards in the room were scared silly, because Li Jinglong's whip strike just now could be said to be unstoppable among the imperial palace's imperial guards.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene from under the table and immediately knew that Li Jinglong was no match for Yuan Chenyuan. He immediately shouted at the imperial guards, "What are you guys standing there looking at? Hurry up and help Li Aiqing!"
