Master of the Sky

"A bunch of heartless trash. His Majesty has treated you well. Have you all become blind?"    

    

No one dared to reply. Yuwen Ji had already been knocked unconscious, so those people had to consider their own strength a little more.    

    

"Aren't you going to impeach me? Ten counts? Whoever stands out, don't even talk about ten lines. Just say one and This King will thank the world with his life! "    

    

No one dared to look straight into Guo Ziyi's eyes. If Guo Ziyi got angry, the entire Changyang City would tremble along with him! The matter of the impeachment instantly became a joke.    

    

Guo Ziyi slowly turned around, and his gaze suddenly shot towards Li Jian, as he said coldly, "His royal highness the prince, if there is nothing important, this duke will be returning to my residence first. Your majesty has passed away and the Prince Guo's Mansion has passed away for a month.    

    

Li Jian nodded his head, and then bowed towards Guo Ziyi: "Prince Guo has been working hard, and I have granted you permission to rest at home for a year. Since you're old, it's time to rest, isn't it? "    

    

Hearing Li Jian's words, everyone was shocked, was he trying to take Guo Ziyi's power?    

    

"The Sea race is about to attack. The southeastern border is the only way for Sea race to cross over. The Nanhu Prefecture is also the main battlefield to defend against the Sea race. I have remembered that you are already old and that there is no need for you to bother with the war in Nanhu Prefecture. The Duke of Qin will bring a million soldiers of Li Tang's army to the Nanhu Prefecture to prepare for battle. "    

    

Li Jian smiled and bowed, showing extreme respect to Guo Ziyi.    

    

But his words caused everyone to feel a chill in their hearts and souls, colder than the wind and snow.    

    

All of the officials were thinking, since Li Jian had just ascended the throne, and he did not sit on the Dragon Throne of Supreme Harmony Hall, was he not afraid of Guo Ziyi leading his troops to revolt when he was in a fit of rage and oppressing the Guo Family?    

    

Many of the generals in the plaza glared at Li Jian. Li Jian's words chilled them to the core.    

    

They were waiting for Guo Ziyi to say that they would not hesitate to kill Li Jian even if he had ordered his men to do so in the imperial palace. Anyone could tell that the old man was dead without a doubt, and that Li Yuan was the culprit who killed his father to usurp his position.    

    

However, the vast majority of the officials chose to support Li Jian.    

    

In the imperial court, there were very few people who spoke about relationships, and there were many people who spoke about benefits.    

    

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Guo Ziyi took out the Marshal's Medallion, his eyes revealing an infatuated look as he played around with it.    

    

"It's fine if you don't want it."    

    

Guo Ziyi exerted more strength in his palm and shattered the Marshal's Token.    

    

"Prince Guo, a wise man knows when to stop. We will keep your noble title, Fenyang City is your Guo Family's hereditary land, we will not take it back. Are you satisfied? " Li Jian laughed.    

    

"An ancient saying has it that when people do it, the heavens are watching. This King has nothing to say."    

    

Guo Ziyi looked at his subordinates and shook his head slightly. He shook the snow on his body and led the two hundred over generals away, leaving the Supreme Harmony Hall plaza and heading towards the Xuanwumen.    

    

At this time, sounds of fighting rose from all directions, and the garrison had already arrived outside the palace.    

    

The Yuelin Army that was guarding the palace gates did not resist. Li Shi called out a few times and opened the gates.    

    

Guo Nan and Li Shi rushed into the palace. Lin Chong welcomed them and knelt down, "Your Highness, you have finally come!"    

    

"Get up and speak. What is the situation in the Inner Academy?"    

    

"Li Jian is worried about me, so he asked me to guard the entrance of the Outer Palace. The Yuelin Army s in the Central District are his trusted aides. In the Inner Academy, a large amount of elites are gathered and set up a trap in the Xuanwumen. When the Prince Guo and the rest enter the Xuanwumen, they will be surrounded and killed. " Lin Chong asked anxiously.    

    

Li Shi nodded his head and led the army to attack the palace from the middle courtyard. There, the great army was met with powerful obstructions, and was unable to break through the gate of the Central District.    

    

Guo Nan was anxious and agitated. If this goes on, the old man and his fellow warriors in the Xuanwumen will all die!    

    

"Nan Shao, do you need help?"    

    

A hearty laugh passed into Guo Nan's ears.    

    

Guo Nan turned his head to look, only to see Dugu Hong leading a few dozen people on horseback and quickly rushing over. Behind them, there were four huge carriages. Their hooves were heavy and the axles were creaking. The things on the carriages should be very heavy.    

    

Guo Nan shouted as he led the army, Dugu Hong and the rest successfully entered the Central Palace. Three hundred meters away, the garrison was fearless of striking at doors and climbing up walls, and the Yuelin Army above used fuel to block arrows.    

    

"Nan Shao, I was late, it's all because of this thing, assembling it was too difficult, I had my men work all night, after we finished it, the fast horse would come over with a whip."    

    

The giant carriage was opened by Dugu Hong's men. The two meter wide metal pipe glinted with a cold light as it appeared in Guo Nan's sight. Behind the iron pipe was a cylindrical tail. A few guards of the Misty Rain Tower were currently stuffing the pipe with gunpowder.    

    

Li Shi asked in shock: Master of the Misty Rain Tower, what is this?    

    

"Red Cannon, in the bustling areas of Wucheng Mainland, Red Cannon are essential items to the army. Let alone Dan Yuan Stage Expert, when the opportunity is right, Natal Opening Realm strong person can be killed by a single cannon."    

    

Guo Nan explained.    

    

He had seen Red Cannon in his previous life, and it was much more powerful than what Dugu Hong had brought him. Amongst the strong and flourishing troops, Red Cannon were important weapons to stop enemy experts. If one had to calculate the grade of the weapon, it could be considered a middle grade Profound level.    

    

Guo Nan shouted as he retreated twenty meters away from the big door. Dugu Hong's men filled their gunpowder and adjusted their ears as they aimed their muzzles at the big door.    

    

The Yuelin Army on the battlements looked around in confusion, thinking, what is that thing, could it be a new type of siege apparatus?    

    

Li Shi stared at the cannon nervously. He had never seen something like this before, so he did not know how powerful it was.    

    

After one of the Misty Rain House's guards lit the fire, he saw a terrifying black sphere rush out of the cannon, straight towards the Central District's gate!    

    

In the blink of an eye, the sphere smashed onto the door, causing a huge boom!    

    

Within a radius of a few hundred meters, the earth trembled, and some of the soldiers were unable to stand steadily and fell to the ground.    

    

After standing up, they saw that the entire entrance to the palace, including the walls on both sides of the entrance, was missing!    

    

A ten-meter-wide gash appeared on the sturdy wall of the Central District.    

    

Li Shi watched in shock for a few seconds, then raised the long knife in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"    

    

garrison surged in like a tide.    

    

Dugu Hong's men dragged the carriage forward and poured buckets of ice water on the cannon. After it cooled down, they quickly filled it up with gunpowder.    

    

The more advanced Red Cannon s were able to fire ten heavy cannons, causing the cannon's barrel to become high temperature. What Dugu Hong had brought with him was only the lowest level Red Cannon. In the Heavenly Empire, it was also the highest level.    

    

"What is that sound?"    

    

When the officials outside the Supreme Harmony Hall heard the commotion and felt the earth trembling, a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts.    

    

Li Jian listened to his subordinates' reports. The outer and inner courtyard was broken, and would not be able to hold on for long.    

    

He was in a complete mess, did the Misty Rain House get involved?    

    

All in all, he never would have thought that Misty Rain House would bring such a ferocious siege apparatus into the battle.    

    

"Follow me to Xuanwumen!"    

    

Li Jian brought a large number of his elite subordinates and a large number of officials outside the Supreme Peace Hall to rush to Xuanwumen.    

    

A deafening boom shook the sky and shook the earth. The gate of the inner courtyard was also broken.    

    

Guo Nan, Dugu Hong and three other Dan Yuan Stage Expert s were the first to attack Xuanwumen.    

    

Guo Ziyi led his group of generals and stopped a hundred meters away from the Xuanwumen.    

    

"If you enter the Xuanwumen, you will die. "Generals, welcome to the battle. After a while, reinforcements will arrive!"    

    

Hearing Guo Ziyi's words, the two hundred generals immediately formed a formation and surrounded Guo Ziyi. No matter what the situation was, protecting the marshal was the most important thing.    

    

The Marshal's Medallion was crushed into dust by Guo Ziyi, but in Li Tangguo's eyes, he was the only marshal.    

    

Li Jian led a few thousand Yuelin Army elite soldiers and chased after Guo Ziyi, surrounding Guo Ziyi and the rest.    

    

"Prince Guo, I'm sorry." Li Jianleng said as he waved his hand: "Take them down, those that Guo Ziyi has left alive, kill the rest!"
