Chapter 162: Alliance with Ming Dynasty, Marry Yunluo (Complete Book)
Within the palace.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the two people confronting each other on top of the Forbidden City, and a sense of desolation arose in his heart.

This was their fateful duel, and Lu Xiaofeng knew very well that he was powerless to stop it.

But he also knew in his heart that this was a complete conspiracy.

The justice in his heart would not allow his friend to commit acts that would usurp the throne.

But if he tries to stop it, he will definitely have regrets in his life.

He could only try his best to think of a way, hoping to crack the conspiracy before anything happened.

“Your sword is not sharp enough!”

Ximen Chuxue stared coldly at Ye Gucheng opposite him.

As the best swordsman in the world, he could feel the despair in the eyes of the man in front of him.

It seemed that the opponent did not come for a duel, but came here with a determination to die and to destroy himself.

“Today’s competition is cancelled!”

Ximen Chuxue said this and tried to leave, but at this moment Ye Gucheng spoke.

“Why?”

“If you don’t want to fight, why bother showing off?”

Ximen Chuxue did not look back. Although he did not understand why his most promising opponent had become like this, he knew that Ye Gucheng now had no fighting spirit at all.

As a swordsman, he didn’t want to take advantage of others.

“Ximen Chuxue, stay and fight me!”

Ye Gucheng suddenly roared, drew his sword, and attacked Ximen Chuxue.

Seeing this from a distance, Lu Xiaofeng frowned immediately.

For some reason, he felt that something was wrong with Ye Gucheng today.

The anger in him didn’t seem like what he should have.

Ye Gucheng has always been calm and composed, and he would not be so anxious even in a life-and-death battle.

Just when Lu Xiaofeng was confused, Ximen Chuxue had already drawn his sword.

The sword light was magnificent, instantly cutting through the long night.

The biting cold forced countless imperial guards present to retreat.

The sword light was as fast as lightning, and people had not yet reacted.

Then a corpse was seen falling from the top of the Forbidden City.

“Ye Gucheng?”

Lu Xiaofeng was startled and flew forward.

But Ximen Chuxue was one step faster than him and caught Ye Gucheng.

Both of them noticed something was wrong. Even if Ye Gucheng had no fighting spirit, he couldn’t be so weak.

Lu Xiaofeng seemed to remember something and quickly reached out to lift Ye Gucheng’s mask.

Sure enough, this guy was not Ye Gucheng at all, but a guy wearing a human skin mask.

“Too bad I got fooled!”

Lu Xiaofeng reacted instantly.

He thought that with Ye Gucheng’s arrogance, he would never miss the opportunity to fight with Ximen Chuxue, but he was wrong after all.

That guy actually gave up this opportunity and chose to find someone else to take his place.

Then Ye Gucheng could only be in one place at this moment!
“The emperor is in danger, go to the emperor’s bedroom!”

Lu Xiaofeng shouted loudly and led his men towards the harem.

……

“Hui Di, why do you do this?”

Inside the emperor’s bedroom, Zhu Houcong had been blocked by Prince of the Southern Kingdom Zhu Houhui and Ye Gucheng.

But until this moment, he still couldn’t believe that his own brother would actually attack him.

“Brother, you have been the emperor for so many years, it is time to take a rest. Let me take your place for the rest of your life!”

Zhu Houhui stepped over Zhu Houcong and sat directly on the dragon couch with a smug smile on his face, as if he was already the emperor.

“You and I are from the same mother. I have never understood why it was me who was sent away and not you.”

“You and I are the same. I can do the same things you can do, and I can even do them better than you!”

“Go with peace of mind. The Ming Dynasty will be great again in my hands!”

Zhu Houhui said this and nodded slightly.

Ye Gucheng paused, but his sword was still unsheathed. Sword shadows flew by, and countless phantoms appeared. At this moment, the entire palace fell into a dead silence.

Everything around seemed to be still.

Only that flash of sword light pierced through the space and went straight to Zhu Houcong’s throat.

At this critical moment, Ximen Chuxue appeared and swung his sword from the west, cutting through the space.

Although the sword was very fast, Ye Gucheng was still better in the end.

His celestial being has long transcended time and space.

No one in the world can stop him from taking action.

The only time he failed so far was at the hands of Qin Fan.

Today, even Ximen Chuxue couldn’t stop him.

But unfortunately, a familiar figure shattered his fantasy.

Qin Fan finally rushed back and stood in front of Zhu Houcong.

He raised his hand slightly and caught the sword.

It was just as relaxing as that night in Prince Nan’s Palace.

Ye Gucheng was exhausted in an instant!
It wasn’t that he was unable to fight again, but that he realized the huge gap between the two of them.

If he was just testing Qin Fan the last time he fought, then today he definitely used all his strength in this sword strike.

But even after using all his strength to attack, the opponent still caught it with his bare hands.

He knew that even if he tried harder, he would probably not be a match for Qin Fan.

He gave up completely.

At the same time, a group of palace guards pushed open the palace gate and rushed in.

“Your Majesty, I am late in escorting you!”

The guards surrounded Ye Gucheng, but when everyone saw two emperors who looked exactly the same in the distance, they were still frightened for a moment.

“Go back!”

Zhu Houcong waved his hand and dismissed the others.

He understood that Qin Fan’s move just now had determined Ye Gucheng’s fate.

Given this guy’s arrogant character, he will no longer resist.

“You are a beautiful woman, why do you follow a thief?”

Zhu Houcong still had some hope for Ye Gucheng. He granted Ye Gucheng the position of the Lord of Baiyun City and lured him to Zhu Houhui to protect his younger brother.

But he never thought that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

Zhu Houcong felt a little regretful, but he didn’t want to lose such a master.

“The winner is the king, the loser is the villain. I lost!”

Ye Gucheng looked at Qin Fan and suddenly smiled. He put down the sword in his hand and felt relaxed!
Seeing Ye Gucheng like this, Zhu Houcong knew in his heart that this man probably came with the intention of dying.

He sighed slightly and his eyes fell on Qin Fan, Ximen Chuxue and others.

“I hope you can keep today’s events secret,” Zhu Houcong said, turning his head to look at Zhu Houhui and whispering, “I don’t want anyone else to know his identity!”

As Zhu Houcong spoke, he took out a long sword from the side and handed it to Zhu Houhui.

The meaning is obvious. Since Zhu Houhui has exposed his appearance, he cannot be kept.

It is impossible for someone who looks exactly like the emperor to appear in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houhui silently picked up the sword with a ferocious smile on his face.

The next second, he suddenly raised his sword and stabbed Zhu Houcong. Ximen Chuxue was quick-witted and quick-handed, blocking the sword with one hand, and then slashed back with one sword, killing Zhu Houhui.

Zhu Houcong seemed to have expected this and closed his eyes dejectedly.

Afterwards, Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuxue took Ye Gucheng away, while Qin Fan was kept by the emperor.

“Thanks to your help this time, I can promise that as long as the Ming Dynasty exists, Huashan will be protected by the Ming Dynasty for generations!”

“I know that Yunluo is in love with you. If you are willing, you can take her away. I will issue an order to grant the marriage!”

When Qin Fan heard this, he was stunned.

If Huashan has the support of the dynasty, it may not be impossible for it to become a top-notch sect in the martial arts world in the future.

All his previous efforts have finally helped Huashan gain a firm foothold.

Qin Fan thanked Zhu Houcong and turned to leave the palace.

At this moment, he seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

The burden on my shoulders can finally be put down!
