Chapter 168 Changes in Shangyang Gate

Shangyangmen.

The front and rear doors are closed.

Zhou Zhi and people from the three major families were blocked in the palace wall of Shangyang Gate.

Zhou Chen on the palace wall was silent for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Chen below and asked, "Ninth brother, where is the queen mother?"

Although Zhou Chen knew that Zhou Zhi would not do anything to the Queen Mother.

But seeing that the person inside Fengjia was not the Queen Mother, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried.

What Zhou Chen is worried about is not Zhou Zhi, but the people from the three wealthy families.

Zhou Zhi would not do anything to the Queen Mother, but this does not mean that people from the three major aristocratic families would not do anything to the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother is resting in the Prince of Shu's Mansion."

"Brother, you don't think I will do anything to my mother, do you?"

Zhou Zhi took a deep breath, glanced at Zhou Chen on the palace wall and said, "Although I, Zhou Zhi, aspire to the throne, I will not make a fuss about my mother."

"Brother Huang can rest assured about this."

At this time, Zhou Zhi no longer needed to hide his thoughts.

Because everything in front of him already explained what he wanted to do.

What's more, Zhou Chen on the palace wall has long understood the plans of him and the three major aristocratic families, so why does he need to cover it up anymore?

After hearing Zhou Zhi's words, Zhou Chen felt relieved.

It's fine if the Queen Mother is in the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

Zhou Chen had already asked the Eight Wise Kings to rush to the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

There was no way Zhou Chen would treat the Queen Mother's safety carelessly.

Zhou Chen believed that Zhou Zhi would not do anything to the Queen Mother, but Zhou Chen believed in himself even more.

It would be safest only to take the Queen Mother out of the Shu Palace.

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment and looked at Zhou Zhi below: "Ninth brother, I will give you another chance."

"Now you bow your head and confess your sins. Step aside. For the sake of my mother, I will spare your life."

"I don't want my mother to be sad. A white-haired person gives you a black-haired person."

"I have long known about the poisonous things you and Wuji were involved in in the palace."

"The only reason I didn't touch you is to give you another chance. I hope you can turn around and become the King of Shu with peace of mind."

"But you let me down. Not only did you not stop, you also colluded with these people to usurp the throne."

"I will give you a second chance now."

"This is also the last chance I give you."

"If you are still stubborn, don't blame me."

Zhou Chen said calmly on the palace wall.

Regarding Zhou Zhi, Zhou Chen knew that Zhou Zhi would not bow down and plead guilty as he said.

But this kind of righteousness must be said by the emperor Zhou Chen.

This is the complexity of politics.

When Zhou Zhi heard this, he laughed and said, "Brother Emperor, I would like to thank you for the opportunity you gave me before."

"However, if I want my brother to plead guilty, I'm afraid my brother will be disappointed. My brother will not bow his head and plead guilty."

"My brother also feels that he is not guilty at all. Everyone has a chance to take the throne, but my father did not give us princes a chance."

"In this case, I can only take it myself."

Zhou Zhi looked at Zhou Chen on the palace wall and said loudly.

Bow your head and apologize.

What a joke.

Their plans have already progressed to this point.

It seems that we are only one step away from success.

How could Zhou Zhi give up the throne he was about to gain and bow his head to plead guilty!

"It seems that Ninth Brother, you really want to find a way to the end."

"In this case, I have nothing to say."

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

"Wow..."

Countless Imperial Guards armed with bows, arrows and crossbows immediately appeared around the walls of Shangyangmen Palace.

These forbidden soldiers armed with bows, arrows and crossbows aimed at Zhou Zhi and others below.

As long as Zhou Chen gives the order, these forbidden troops will fire their crossbows without hesitation and kill Zhou Zhi and others below.

At the same time, the front and rear doors, which were originally closed, were instantly opened.

Groups of forbidden troops rushed out from the front and rear doors, forming a formation and surrounding Zhou Zhi and the others.

Seeing the imperial troops rushing out to surround them, Zhou Zhi didn't look surprised at all.

From the moment Zhou Chen appeared on the wall of Shangyang Gate Palace, Zhou Zhi already knew that there was an ambush at Shangyang Gate.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi was not surprised at all by the appearance of these forbidden troops.

Similarly, there was no expression of surprise on the faces of the heads of the three major families. Even Ji Wusheng could guess in advance that Zhou Chen had known about Zhou Zhi's plan to collude with the three major families.

Not to mention the three major aristocratic families that have been passed down for many years.

The patriarchs of the three major aristocratic families had also guessed before that Zhou Chen might know their plan.

So it is reasonable for Zhou Chen to take precautions in advance.

Zhou Zhi raised his head and glanced at the densely packed crossbows around the palace wall, and then looked at Zhou Chen: "Brother, you don't think you can deal with my brother and the three great families with just these forbidden troops, do you?"

It’s not that Zhou Zhi underestimated the Imperial Army.

The Forbidden Army in the palace is indeed the most powerful elite in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are many masters in the Forbidden Army, even the Shenwu Guards cannot compare with them.

But these people from the three major families who followed Zhou Zhi into the palace this time are all real masters of the three major families.

The weakest ones are all third-grade masters.

It is simply not something that the Forbidden Army can deal with easily.

Zhou Chen, who was standing on the palace wall, didn't want to talk any more nonsense, and said coldly, "Kill me, no one will be spared, and destroy these rebellious officials and traitors who dare to sneak into the palace."

Since Zhou Zhi has made his choice and is determined to carry it to death, Zhou Chen doesn't need to be polite anymore.

Following Zhou Chen’s order.

The imperial guards on the palace wall directly fired their crossbows and shot at the surrounded Zhou Zhi and others.

"Do it."

People from the three major aristocratic families also took action to block the crossbow arrows and charged towards the imperial army surrounding them.

At the same time, the three major clan heads and the great masters of the three major families all jumped up and rushed towards Zhou Chen on the palace wall.

To capture the thief, capture the king first.

Everyone knows this.

The people from the three great families entered the palace not to fight with the imperial army, but to help the King of Shu usurp the throne.

As long as the emperor Zhou Chen is captured, the goal can be achieved.

"Humph, you traitorous officials and traitors must die for me, Commander-in-Chief."

Seeing the great masters from the three great families leaping up and trying to rush up to the palace wall, Jin He also flew up directly and swung the sword in his hand towards these great masters from the three great aristocratic families.

And as Jin He took action, dozens of figures on the palace wall rushed down to meet the masters of these three major families.

The dozens of figures rushing down the palace wall are all members of the royal family.

Although the royal family is lonely, it still has some background besides Zhou Rushan.

With these royal family backgrounds, Zhou Chen ordered them to be mobilized this time to annihilate the masters of the three great families.

"kill."

The imperial troops surrounding Zhou Zhi and the others all began to strangle the masters of the three major families in military formations.

At this moment, the war broke out completely.

The patriarchs of the three major aristocratic families and the great masters who jumped up to rush to the palace wall were all blocked, and they were also fighting with each other below.

King Zhou Zhi of Shu also held a long sword and fought with the imperial army.

The entire Shangyang Gate was filled with fighting that shook the sky.

Next to them, Zhou Rushan and Yuan Tianshu, two half-step heavenly beings, were already fighting together.

"Yuan Tianshu, if you dare to sneak into the palace and rebel, then don't leave today." Zhou Rushan said coldly.

"Huh, Zhou Rushan, we still don't know who will win."

"I, Yuan Tianshu, have long wanted to meet you, the first half-step celestial being."

"Today, let's see the truth under our hands."

Yuan Tianshu snorted coldly and fought with Zhou Rushan back and forth.

Judging from the fight between the two, Yuan Tianshu's combat power is also very strong and should not be underestimated.

On the palace wall, Zhou Chen looked at the fighting below and sat on the dragon throne.

On the left and right sides of Zhou Chen, two figures stood beside him.

A figure is wearing a governor's uniform. Who could it be if it weren't Cao Shaoqin?

The other figure was wearing a armor, and it was none other than Dian Wei, another commander of the Forbidden Army.

And there were factory guards and imperial guards all around.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, looking at the fighting below indifferently, with a sneer on his lips.

This Shangyang Gate is the burial place prepared by Zhou Chen for masters from the three major families.

As long as all the masters from the three major families are wiped out, then the three major families, three of the seven wealthy families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, will basically be wiped out by 70%.

All that's left are some small fish and shrimps.

Even though the elites from the following three major families were not weak in strength, they still suffered a lot of casualties under the stranglehold of the Forbidden Army.

Perhaps the Forbidden Army is indeed no match for the masters of these wealthy families if they fight alone.

But the Imperial Army was able to form military formations to fight against the enemy.

Under the power of the military formation, even the great masters of the three major families were entangled.

Zhou Zhi swung his sword and killed the two imperial guards. Looking at the situation in front of him, his face became a little solemn.

Zhou Zhi never expected that there were so many great masters in the royal family.

This was something Zhou Zhi didn't know before.

Initially, Zhou Zhi thought that Zhou Chen would not be able to stop their men, but he did not expect that the royal family's background was unexpected.

Even Zhou Zhi, the king of Shu, didn't really understand it before.

"Tongueless."

"Follow me and charge forward."

Since the great masters from the three major aristocratic families have attracted all the masters around Zhou Chen, Zhou Zhi just took the opportunity to take action.

Zhou Zhi said to the old eunuch, jumped up and rushed towards Zhou Chen on the palace wall.

The old eunuch was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou Zhi suddenly burst out with the strength of a great master.

When did Zhou Zhi break through the Grandmaster?

Or the late Grandmaster?

How can this be?

The old eunuch looked incredulous. He was a little surprised. How could Zhou Zhi's strength be that of a late-stage Grand Master?

However, the old eunuch didn't think carefully and jumped up quickly, followed Zhou Zhi and rushed up the palace wall.

After fending off a hail of crossbows from the Imperial Army, Zhou Zhi and the old eunuch jumped onto the palace wall.

Seeing Zhou Zhi and the old eunuch leaping onto the palace wall, the imperial troops on the palace wall were about to rush forward to kill them, but Zhou Chen reached out to stop them.

After Zhou Zhi jumped onto the palace wall, he glanced at Cao Shaoqin and Dian Wei who were beside Zhou Chen, looked at Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon chair and said, "Brother, you only have Cao Shaoqin next to you. You shouldn't be able to stop the two of us."

.”

Zhou Zhi knew about Cao Shaoqin's reputation.

But Zhou Zhi didn't recognize Dian Wei next to him.

Zhou Zhi thought Dian Wei was just an ordinary commander of the imperial army.

Therefore, he automatically ignored Dian Wei and did not take Dian Wei seriously at all.

Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Zhi calmly and said, "Ninth brother, I didn't expect that you are already a grand master, which makes me a little surprised."

"Cao Shaoqin can't stop you two, but he can kill you two."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin immediately understood the idea and took a step forward. The soft sword on his waist was already unsheathed.

A sword energy hit Zhou Zhi and Wu Ji directly in front of their faces.

Zhou Zhi and Wu Ji's expressions changed, and they quickly turned around to avoid Cao Shaoqin's sword energy.

But immediately after, Cao Shaoqin had already rushed in front of the two of them, and the soft sword in his hand stabbed Zhou Zhi and Wu Gu in a strange way.

After just three moves.

Zhou Zhi and Wu Ji were knocked off the palace wall by Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin also jumped up and rushed down.

"Your Majesty, you have a noble status, but when His Majesty spoke, the governor was offended."

The soft sword in Cao Shaoqin's hand was rubbed into the spirit snake's mist, and stabbed Zhou Zhi strangely.

"Humph, Cao Shaoqin, I do underestimate you."

"I didn't expect your fighting power to be so strong."

Zhou Zhi and Wu Ji join forces, and under Cao Shaoqin's strange and soft sword, they are also in danger.

After just a few exchanges of blows, Zhou Zhi and Wu Shi already had several wounds on their bodies.

"Puch"

The soft sword penetrated Zhou Zhi's shoulder.

"Your Majesty."

Wu Tu was startled, and the attack on his hand became more fierce, directly attacking Cao Shaoqin's face.

"puff."

Drops of blood dance.

Zhou Zhi was knocked to the ground by Cao Shaoqin's sword. He turned several somersaults and rolled to the side.

Cao Shaoqin returned his sword and stabbed Wu Tongue again.

On the other side, the patriarchs of the three major aristocratic families all severely wounded their opponents and rushed towards Zhou Chen on the palace wall again.

At the same time, six or seven great masters eliminated their opponents, followed by the patriarchs of the three great families and rushed towards Zhou Chen on the palace wall.

Because Zhou Chen on the palace wall is their ultimate goal.

Seeing the patriarchs of the three great families and six or seven great masters rushing up to the palace wall, a trace of joy flashed across Zhou Zhi's face.

Now, all the experts from the royal family have come out, and Cao Shaoqin has also come down.

There are no masters guarding the emperor Zhou Chen on the palace wall, only some imperial troops and factory guards are left. It is impossible to stop the masters of these great masters.

As long as they capture the emperor Zhou Chen, their plan this time will be successful.

Even Yuan Tianshu, who was fighting against Zhou Rushan, had a smile on his face when he saw more than ten grand masters from the three major families rushing onto the city wall.

"Zhou Rushan, the emperor on the palace wall is about to be caught by our people. Do we still need to continue?"

"The King of Shu is also the son of the previous emperor. What is the difference between inheriting the throne and Zhou Chen becoming emperor?"

"Why do you stop me?"

Yuan Tianshu said while fighting with Zhou Rushan.

In Yuan Tianshu's view, Zhou Chen was already a turtle in the urn and could not escape their grasp.

But everyone knows that imagination is often beautiful, but reality is cruel.

As soon as Yuan Tianshu finished speaking, he saw the patriarchs of the three great families and the six or seven great masters who had jumped up on the palace wall flew down and hit the ground hard.
