Chapter 565: 565

From King Duan's impression, Fang Zhengzhi indeed had the habit of watching a troublesome issue unfold . However, he did not like endangering himself in these situations . In other words, while Fang Zhengzhi liked some conflict, he did not wish to be inside them .

However, what was happening in the palace now was…

”There is something wrong!” King Duan quickly came to a conclusion that Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang's appearance was definitely not one of coincidence .

Although…

What was their purpose of coming?

Accompanying him into the palace? If it was only Fang Zhengzhi alone, this would be possible . However, Ping Yang could easily bring him into the palace . Entering the palace would not be a problem in the first place .

Why then would he want to deliberately follow him?

King Duan could not understand his actions . Subconsciously, he heard a voice telling him that he should not allow Fang Zhengzhi to follow behind him .

However, another voice was telling him that if Fang Zhengzhi truly wished to be involved in this situation, it would be better to keep an eye on him .

This was a troublesome decision .

One on hand, King Duan wanted to see what Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do . On the other hand, he was afraid of Fang Zhengzhi's special purpose of following him .

Just when he was struggling with the two decisions, the battle at the palace entrance had come to an end .

A huge group of royal guards lay in a pool of blood while the surviving guards had already retreated into the palace . The city guards had successfully occupied the entrance to the palace .

”Charge!” King Duan did not hesitate upon seeing this scene . He immediately issued an order . As for Fang Zhengzhi…

He had too much to attend to right now .

He would let Fang Zhengzhi follow him . Why would he be afraid?

This was King Duan's exact thought .

Following King Duan's command, the city guards charged into the palace, their war cries echoing through the palace .

King Duan also entered the palace immediately .

”We enter as well right?” Ping Yang blinked her eyes as she stared at Fang Zhengzhi .

”Alright, but you must first promise me a few things,” Fang Zhengzhi stared at the city guards and Lin Xinjue as they stormed into the palace as he wore an unusually serious expression on his face .

”Speak!” Ping Yang was stunned as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi's expression . She then bit her pink lips in apprehension .

”Firstly, after entering the palace, you must stay by Yan Xiu and my side . You must be less than five steps away from us!” Fang Zhengzhi said .

”Okay!” Ping Yang answered and nodded her head .

”Secondly, you can only watch . Do not try to fight while you are inside!” Fang Zhengzhi then said .

”But what if something is happening to father…”

”If it is something the Emperor cannot solve, do you think you will be able to?” Fang Zhengzhi interrupted before Ping Yang could complete her sentence .

”I… I think I can do it!” Ping Yang bit her lip and said after a moment of hesitation . Her final answer was filled with conviction .

”You can?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang quizzically .

”Yes, I am strong!” Ping Yang nodded as she affirmed .

”Who are you trying to fool… have you reached Heavenly Reflection State?” Fang Zhengzhi stared at Ping Yang's confident face and could not help but comment .

”No, but I am strong!” Ping Yang seemed extremely determined .

”Alright then, but, without my permission, you cannot do anything . ” Fang Zhengzhi fell speechless . Following which, he then looked at the huge wave of city guards entering the palace and shook his head before saying, ”Alright, I mean to tell me before you act rashly . ”

”Alright!” Ping Yang nodded upon hearing those words .

”Yan Xiu, let's go!” Fang Zhengzhi cast his glance at Yan Xiu, who kept silent all this time .

”Alright,” Yan Xiu nodded .

The three of them quickly entered the palace .

However…

After just a few steps, they stopped . This was because King Duan Lin Xinjue and the guards had stopped as well .

In front of the city guards were thousand over black figures .

Under the concealment of the night sky, thousand over black figures blocked the way . Each of them held a s.h.i.+ny weapon in their hands, reflecting the moonlight and giving off a chilling presence .

Beside those black figures were royal guards clad in golden armor laying weak on the floor and drenched in perspiration .

”It seems like… we will need to engage in one more battle . Let's find a safe place to watch this show . ” Fang Zhengzhi pouted as he said to Ping Yang .

”Alright then,” Ping Yang agreed as well .

This conversation was naturally heard by King Duan Lin Xinjue . In an instant, he subconsciously tightened his grip on his weapon .

Outside the palace, on top of a building

Su Qing stood on the rooftop clad in a neat court attire . The black figures behind him stood motionless as well .

At that moment, a black figure once again landed behind Su Qing .

”Reporting my lord . King Duan has entered the palace . However, apart from King Duan…” The black figure hesitated and stopped speaking .

”What else is there?” Su Qing frowned as he said .

The plan was crucial . He did not wish for any accidents to happen . Naturally, he did not like to hear something that he did not expect .

”Apart from King Duan, Fang Zhengzhi had also entered the palace together . ” The black figure quickly answered upon hearing Su Qing's words .

”Fang Zhengzhi?” Su Qing was startled as he subconsciously clenched his fist . ”You are saying Fang Zhengzhi and King Duan appeared at the entrance of the palace, and entered the palace together?”

”No, Fang Zhengzhi appeared after King Duan . Fang Zhengzhi was accompanied by Ping Yang and Yan Xiu as well .

”Can you be sure that Fang Zhengzhi did not plan this together with King Duan?” Su Qing asked while he pondered the consequences .

He did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi and King Duan planned something beforehand .

However…

He was not going to take chances .

After all, if Fang Zhengzhi was indeed an accomplice of King Duan . His current plan might be heavily disrupted .

”I don't think so . From what I observed, Fang Zhengzhi even accused King Duan of treason and revolt upon his arrival, shouting at the top of his lungs . In order to not attract attention, King Duan then allowed Fang Zhengzhi to accompany him into the palace!” The black figure recalled as he shook his head .

”Alright, I understand . Continue to keep an eye on them . If anything happens, report immediately!” Su Qing nodded as he waved to the black figure .
