C46 The New Emperor of Jinnan (1/2)

Very quickly, all of the Forbidden Army s in the palace had gathered. Although there were only two thousand of them, their martial arts were not bad.

”Speak, where is his Majesty being placed under house arrest?”

”I don't know!”

After all, he did not even know where Nan Jifu was being placed under house arrest. He was in such a hurry yet it was not due to his suspicious personality from before, so it seemed like Nan Jifu held an important position in his heart.

Just as Hu Xiong was searching all over the palace for Nan Jifu, not only was Nan Jifu hiding himself, there were also ten thousand elite soldiers blocking his path of retreat.

These ten thousand elite soldiers were naturally the forces that Hu Xiong had left in the Jinnan City when he attacked them. They were not under Hu Xiong's control, and had directly followed Nan Jifu's orders.

Forbidden Army was also loyal, no matter how hard Hu Xiong attacked, they did not take a step back.

Forbidden Army was the commander of Bai Sheng's martial arts. Between him and Hu Xiong, the two of them fought to the point where no one around them could get close to them.

”General Jue, this commander has always respected you and wanted to experience your skills since a long time ago. I didn't expect that you would rebel at such a time.”

”The one who rebelled should be you, right? He actually dares to put His Majesty under house arrest.”

The two fought intensely, each with fatal moves, and each spoke their own words.

Hu Xiong was anxious to save someone, he did not even think about why Bai Sheng would insist on rebelling against him, the question in between was actually ignored by him right now.

Bai Sheng on the other hand, had received Nan Jifu's orders, and wanted him to stop Hu Xiong no matter what. And that competition with Hu Xiong, had also affected his judgement of the content of Hu Xiong's words.

Hu Xiong then thrusted his spear forward, and Bai Sheng blocked with his blade, after which he kicked his leg, aiming straight at Hu Xiong's waist.

Hu Xiong blocked the flying leg with one hand while clenching his other hand into a fist, he activated internal strength and struck towards Bai Sheng's abdomen.

The internal strength was truly tyrannical, Bai Sheng did not dare to take it head on. He was still inferior to Hu Xiong in terms of internal strength, but he was extremely agile in terms of techniques, and he avoided Hu Xiong's attacks with ease.

With the attack of a fist, Bai Sheng used one hand to cut the sword vertically while the other hand pushed the fist force forward, easily dissipating the powerful internal strength.

It was difficult to differentiate between the two of them. Even though they did not injure the other party in the slightest, nearly half of the elite soldiers and half of the Forbidden Army s had already died.

”General, we did not imprison His Majesty. His Majesty only ordered us to protect him because he knew that you had led troops to rebel and slaughtered your way to the imperial palace.” Bai Sheng followed what Hu Xiong said.

The confrontation between the two could not be more obvious. Both of them felt that something was amiss, so they exchanged moves as they pondered whether it was all a misunderstanding or if they had fallen into the trap of someone with ill intentions.

”He's plotting something?”

The information he had received had a lot of doubtful points. Adding to Bai Sheng's explanation from the front, back, and even back, it made him feel that the situation was not looking good.

”Commander Bai, I received a report from His Majesty, the secret decree, saying that the Grand Princess was a conspiracy, and had received secret reports from the soldiers I sent out. They said that the Forbidden Army followed the orders of the Grand Princess and placed His Majesty under house arrest.

Hearing those words, Bai Sheng immediately knew that he and Hu Xiong had fallen into another's trap.

”General Wang, we may have fallen into someone's trap. It is impossible for us Forbidden Army to keep His Majesty under house arrest, and it is even more impossible for us to obey his orders. We will only listen to his orders. ”

How obvious were these words? Hu Xiong and Bai Sheng were not fools, they immediately gave the order to stop the battle.

But just at this time, the ten thousand elite soldiers rushed to Hu Xiong and Bai Sheng's front, this made the two of them extremely shocked, only then did they realise, these elite soldiers were the real rebels, the existence behind them allowed them to kill each other, weakened both sides, and was able to take them down in one go, to ensure the success of the rebellion.

”Why am I so stupid, so impulsive! I actually fell for someone else's trap. ” Hu Xiong was incredibly vexed. At such a critical juncture, he had actually failed to calmly analyze the truth of the matter. His suspicious personality in the past had actually been overshadowed by his impulsiveness.
