Chapter 93: Action
"This matter of controlling the Emperor's bedroom must be completed within these few days. This must be done quickly."
Ning Fengzhi said. As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams there are. Gu Han's plan, the easier it is to solve the combat power, but controlling the Emperor's bedroom is the most critical thing.
"And there must be a master in charge, especially the defense of the bedroom, which must be replaced by our own people. Your Highness Xue Xing, you should know the pros and cons of this matter."
"Don't worry, I will cover part of the army to enter and control the bedroom, but I need at least one Soul Douluo to help me back up."
Xue Xing nodded. This matter must be cautious. Even if they have the advantage of high-level combat power, once the matter is exposed, their plan will be ruined.
If you want to control the Emperor's bedroom, you must first replace the defense outside the bedroom, or buy it off.
However, the guards of the bedroom are the emperor's confidants, and even the prince has no right to mobilize them. It may not be easy to buy them off.
So Xue Xing needs a master to back up to prevent the other party from rising up and taking him down.
"Leave this to me."
Ling Yuan planned to do it himself. After all, this was the most critical link and no accidents could happen.
After that, everyone discussed for another afternoon, thinking of all the possible things that might happen and making countermeasures.
"This matter is settled. The soul master army has also begun to enter the city one after another, waiting for the prince to fall into the trap."
Ling Yuan stood up and decided on this matter.
The sooner the better. After everyone had discussed it, the plan began to unfold.
The next night, the 100 soul master corps had quietly entered the palace under the guidance of Xue Xing.
Xue Xing and Ling Yuan ordered the army to hide, appeared alone, and went to the emperor's bedroom.
"Stop, who are you?"
The captain of the imperial guards led people to stop Xue Xing and Ling Yuan. He was the chief of the imperial guards responsible for protecting the emperor's bedroom. Although he had only a hundred people under his command, he was a very important position.
Among these hundred people, there were more than ten soul masters and more than thirty great soul masters. He himself was a five-ring soul king. It can be said that he was the elite among the elites of the imperial guards.
"It's me, the Fourth Prince Xue Xing. I'm here to visit my father."
Xue Xing was quite modest, and didn't act arrogant because a Titled Douluo was following him.
"So it's the Fourth Prince. Excuse me."
The captain raised his hand, and the guards on both sides put away their weapons and stood straight behind him.
"Who is the one behind your Highness?"
His eyes were full of doubt. The woman was wearing a mask, which was too suspicious.
"This is my new retainer, responsible for protecting my safety."
"Well, since your Highness is here to visit His Majesty, go in, but this one has to stay outside."
The captain didn't investigate further. Although His Highness Xue Xing was known as a virtuous king, his reputation as a romantic man was also well known. The woman behind the other party was a stunning beauty just by looking at her figure. It was likely that she was more than just a retainer, but this had nothing to do with him.
Even if the other party was Xue Xing's concubine, he couldn't go in. During this special period, he absolutely couldn't let down his guard.
Xue Xing turned around and looked at Ling Yuan, and saw that Ling Yuan immediately opened a soundproof barrier in the area where the few people were.
"Haha, Captain Ye, let's be frank. There are only a few of us at the palace gate, so I might as well make it clear."
"Do you want to die or live?"
Xue Xing stopped pretending and spoke directly.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Captain Ye's eyes darkened, and the six guards behind him immediately stood ready.
Boom!!
The terrifying pressure erupted, and all the guards behind Captain Ye were forced to kneel on the ground.
Ling Yuan's soul power was released just right and accurately, deliberately avoiding Captain Ye.
"Your Highness, are you trying to rebel?"
Seeing this, Captain Ye immediately realized that the person behind the other party was a strong man, and hurriedly asked loudly, trying to attract the attention of the other patrol guards.
"Haha, what are you talking about, Captain Ye?" Xue Xing sneered, "To be honest, Captain Ye, your wife and children have been captured by my people. If you can surrender to me, after the matter is accomplished, I can make you an earl and enjoy a high position and generous salary. Isn't it wonderful?"
"Humph! Your Highness really wants to rebel. It seems that your majesty is right. Your usual virtue is just pretending. Sooner or later, you will show your fangs."
Captain Ye was about to activate his martial soul, and the next moment a terrifying pressure fell on him, pressing him half-kneeling on the ground, and his whole face was full of shock.
His eyes were fixed on the nine soul rings that were slowly rising under Ling Yuan's feet, and his heart was like a raging wave hitting the shore, unable to calm down.
"Confer... Title Douluo!"
Xue Xing put his hands behind his back, walked up to the few people, and said, "Everyone, if you are willing to help me, I will promise you high positions and generous salaries after the success. With your current status and cultivation, I am afraid you may not even be able to get a viscount or even a baron in your entire life. Why bother?"
"If you help me, you will be meritorious ministers of the dragon, and the title will be at your fingertips. As long as the Tiandou Empire is still there, your descendants will be able to inherit the throne and live in wealth and honor for eternity."
"If you don't want to, you already know my purpose today. I can only kill you. As a punishment, your relatives and friends will die with you."
"You only have these two choices. Choose."
"Captain... surrender."
"Yes, anyway, the fourth prince is also a royal family and has the right of inheritance. It is not considered rebellion if we surrender to him." The six guards had long been controlled by Xue Xing's coercion and inducement. They could not resist the temptation of the title, and they did not want to die. They did not want to cause the whole family to die because of themselves.
Ye Dui's facial expression twitched slightly, and his eyes were complicated. He was loyal to the emperor, not to the royal family.
But...
his eyes hesitated, and listening to the persuasion from behind, his mind began to waver.
Yes, what was the reason for him to join Tiandou?
Isn't it just for high positions and generous salaries?
Now, a great opportunity has fallen. The fourth prince recruited a Titled Douluo from nowhere, and in the end he will inevitably go to the palace coup. The side with the Titled Douluo has a great chance of winning.
If he doesn't agree, he will probably die without a burial place.
Thinking of this, Ye Dui gritted his teeth and made up his mind immediately.
"I... I am willing to submit to the Fourth Prince."
When his words fell, the pressure on him disappeared immediately. Ye Dui was relieved, and did not stand up, but clasped his fists towards Xue Xing.
"Your Highness, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."
Xue Xing saw that the other party knew the situation, and a hypocritical smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he helped the other party up.
"Captain Ye, please stand up."
"What I want you to do is very simple. That is, without my order, no one is allowed to enter the emperor's bedroom, especially the prince's people."
"Can you do it?"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, no one can enter the emperor's bedroom without your order."
Captain Ye's attitude changed quickly. Since he had decided to take a gamble, he would unconditionally support Xue Xing. There was no turning back.
Following Xue Xing would either bring wealth and glory, or death.
If he did not follow Xue Xing, he would only have one way to go, so he might as well give it a try.
