GBP Chapter 147 Dragon Guard Leader, Chen Chen
Chapter 147 Dragon Guard Leader, Chen Chen
Wuwang's surprise attack that night was too sudden, and there was no way to prepare properly. In addition, more than half of the secret guards died at Wuwang's hands that night.
A small number of them were also injured and had no resistance at all against the dragon guards who came out in full force.
Lu Jingmo turned his gaze and saw the dozen or so martial artists who were fighting against the Dragon Guards. He felt lucky that he had the help of the martial artists.
He knocked on the carriage wall and said to Zhong Bo: "Ask the leader of the Dragon Guards if they know that their loyal Majesty has been killed."
The dragon guard who was fighting with Uncle Zhong also heard Lu Jingmo's words. His movements froze and he was slapped away by Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong used his inner strength to shout, "Chief Chen, my Duke is asking you if you know that His Majesty has been killed since you all came here."
This sound was penetrating, and everyone heard it clearly. The fight stopped.
All the Dragon Guards looked at one person, the Dragon Guard leader Chen Chen.
Chen Chen's eyes were filled with madness. He flew to Lu Jingmo's carriage and asked, "Duke, are you planning to use this information to deceive us so that you can escape the pursuit?"
Lu Jingmo chuckled and raised his eyelids indifferently, "Don't you even check how many people you have left?"
Chen Xun took a casual glance and found that more than half of the Dragon Guards had been killed. He was shocked in his heart but did not show it on his face.
"What evidence does the Duke have?"
Lu Jingmo glanced at Uncle Zhong, only to see Uncle Zhong leaning into the carriage and taking out a black box.
The black box was filled with pieces of cloth. People who often passed messages knew at a glance that these were pieces of cloth with messages written on them.
Uncle Zhong flipped through the box casually, took out a piece of white cloth with blood-red words written on it and handed it to Chen Xun.
Although Chen Qian had not read the content of the banner yet, he already believed what Lu Jingmo said.
He took the cloth with trembling hands and was a little afraid to open it and take a look.
They, the Dragon Guards, have been trained by the royal family since they were young and don’t even know who their parents are.
The most common thing we have been trained to do since childhood is to be loyal to His Majesty.
And these words are engraved in their bones. The emperor is the person they must protect throughout their lives and the most important person to him.
Other than that, they have nothing.
No parents, no relatives.
It can be said that protecting His Majesty is not only their mission, but also the reason why they live in this world.
If His Majesty was killed, they would be responsible for not protecting him well.
And now that His Majesty is gone, what should they do?
All the dragon guards felt the same at this moment.
Chen Xun finally opened the piece of cloth covered with blood-red words.
It reads: The monk Zhang Gusi has succeeded in slaying the dragon, and the capital is in chaos.
Chen Xun clenched the cloth strip tightly in his hand, his whole body emitting hatred and anger.
This hatred is directed towards Wuwang, Zhang Yingying, Gu Yan, Si Yungui, and Lu Jingmo.
If Lu Jingmo had not left the capital, and made His Majesty feel uneasy, he would not have sent all of them out to intercept and kill him.
If they don't come out, they can protect Your Majesty from harm.
"Why did the Duke secretly leave the capital?" Chen Xun looked directly at Lu Jingmo, with a look of despair in his eyes.
Beneath the indifference is a strong murderous intent.
Uncle Zhong moved closer to this side, and Lu Jingmo raised his hand to signal that he was fine.
"What does Chief Chen think?" Lu Jingmo said calmly, as if chatting, "Your Majesty has murderous intentions towards our Duke's Mansion. Does this Duke want to obey the order?"
"If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die. Hasn't the Duke heard this?"
Chen Chen took a step closer, stared at him intently, and said, "Didn't the Duke have rebellious intentions a long time ago? It is reasonable for His Majesty to want to get rid of you."
Lu Jingmo suddenly burst into laughter, "That's right! This duke has been preparing for rebellion for twelve years."
Chen Xun was about to stab Lu Jingmo with the sword in his hand, but Uncle Zhong had no time to react. With horror he saw his master pinching the tip of the sword with two fingers.
"Chief Chen, why don't you think about why this duke wants to rebel?"
Chen Xun thought of what he said about preparing for a rebellion twelve years ago. Twelve years ago, Wuwang was appointed as the Imperial Master, and Duke Lu even bluntly stated that he wanted Wuwang dead.
Whether it is the court or the people, everyone knows that these two people do not get along.
Could it be that he wanted to rebel because of Imperial Master Wuwang?
With a movement of his hand, Lu Jingmo loosened his fingers. Chen Chen retracted his sword and asked, "Duke's motive for wanting to rebel is because of Wuwang... that evil monk?"
Lu Jingmo nodded, "As the leader of the Dragon Guards, Chief Chen should know what Wuwang has done!"
Chen Xun was silent. He indeed knew it. Not only he knew it, but His Majesty also knew it.
However, Your Majesty believed the groundless excuses and the pillow talk of Concubine Chen, and distorted the facts.
Believe that everything he does is for the good of others or he does it out of necessity.
He looked up at Lu Jingmo, "But this is not a reason for the Duke to rebel."
"Really? Chen..."
"The leader of the Dragon Guards is here!"
Before Lu Jingmo finished speaking, he heard an urgent and panting voice. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a man dressed like a secret guard using light skills to come among the group.
Chen Xun walked towards him, "Who are you?"
The secret guard of Prince Xin's Palace asked him, "Are you the leader of the Dragon Guards?"
"I am! Who are you and why do you come to see me?"
The secret guards of Prince Xin's mansion were still a little unconvinced, and they were reluctant to speak or take any action.
"Although I don't know where you are from, the person in front of you is indeed the leader of the Dragon Guard." Lu Jingmo said this.
The secret guards of Prince Xin's Mansion looked at Lu Jingmo and were immediately surprised. At the same time, they also believed that the person in front of them was the leader of the Dragon Guards.
"I am a secret guard of Prince Xin's Palace. Your Majesty was stabbed in the palace. Consort Liang took the seriously injured Your Majesty out of the palace and brought him to Prince Xin's Palace."
"But your majesty was seriously injured, and in the end..."
Chen Xun clenched his fists. When he heard that His Majesty was taken to Prince Xin's Mansion, he still had a glimmer of hope that His Majesty was not dead.
But after hearing the rest, he knew that His Majesty was gone.
"This is the will written by His Majesty before his death. It is for you, the leader."
Chen Xun took the folded cloth strip and slowly opened it.
The secret guards of Prince Xin's mansion came to Lu Jingmo again and saluted him respectfully.
"His Majesty also left some words for the Duke before he died."
Lu Jingmo nodded, "You go ahead."
"Yes, His Majesty asked us to tell you, the Duke, that Wuwang and his men's ultimate goal is not to usurp the throne, but to have another unknown purpose after usurping the throne."
Lu Jingmo's eyes darkened. An unknown purpose?
Judging from Wuwang’s previous actions against the Lu family, they wanted to take away the Lu family’s fortune.
Now that they have taken the throne of the Hua family, considering all the factors together, it is estimated that the purpose is also related to luck.
Anything related to luck involves metaphysics.
It seems that I need to have a good discussion with Taoist Master Xizu.
After reading it, Chen Xun clenched the cloth strip tightly in his hand and looked at Lu Jingmo.
His Majesty's last will actually asked them to follow Lu Jingmo. He really wanted to doubt the authenticity of this will.
But it just so happens that the unique title between him and Your Majesty is written on it.
He had to believe it again.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, there were people from Duke Lu's side and also from their Dragon Guards.
If the edict had arrived half an hour earlier, he wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation.
Now that the fight has come to this, whether it is the Dragon Guards or the other side, there are probably many people who hate each other.
But I have to obey the will, how difficult it is!
