When Zhou Yi saw this scene, he knew that it was a critical moment and his mind suddenly became active.
Hai Dafu knew that he was a member of the Dugu clan and was a die-hard supporter of the Qing emperor. If he got rid of this fake empress dowager, it would be difficult for him to continue to gain a foothold in the palace!
As for this queen mother, although she was fake, she was just a poor person in the Shenlong Sect. She did not pose much of a hindrance to his plan to eliminate Oboi, so...
Zhou Yi made up his mind and without hesitation, he grasped the Third Young Master's sword and rushed straight towards the fake Queen Mother. When the fake Queen Mother saw Zhou Yi raising his sword to attack, she couldn't help but show a look of panic on her face. But just as Zhou Yi was about to attack the two of them, the sword suddenly turned and pierced Hai Dafu's chest.
Hai Dafu's chest was pierced by the sword, and his left palm suddenly became powerful, suddenly pushing the queen mother back several steps. The queen mother landed on her left foot and immediately jumped back more than a foot. She felt the blood surging in her chest and almost fainted. Fearing that Hai Dafu would take the opportunity to attack her, she slowly retreated several steps and stood against the wall.
Hai Dafu laughed loudly and shouted, "It's the time! It's the fate!" He pushed out three palms in succession, attacking while rushing forward.
The Queen Mother jumped to the right to dodge, her legs weak, and she fell to the ground. With a loud bang, a row of flower stands were pushed halfway by Hai Dafu's palm power. The Queen Mother was exhausted and could no longer move. In panic, she saw Hai Dafu lying on the collapsed flower stand, motionless.
The Queen Mother tried to stand up, but her limbs felt like cotton and her whole body went limp.
Seeing one of the two dead and one injured, Zhou Yi was overjoyed. This outcome couldn't be better. He didn't have to worry about Hai Dafu cutting off his retreat, nor did he have to worry about this fake queen mother holding a grudge against him.
Zhou Yi slowly walked to the side of the fake queen mother with a gloomy face. Seeing this, the fake queen mother quickly reached out to help Zhou Yi and said softly, "Come and help me. I will forgive you for what happened with the thief Hai Dafu. Otherwise, I... ah!"
Zhou Yi looked at the fake queen mother lying dead on the ground, slowly put away the Third Young Master's sword, and said helplessly: "Originally, I was considering whether to let you go, but what a pity... I, Zhou Yi, hate being threatened the most!"
... ... ... ... ...
Not only did the chief chef die, but also the empress dowager died!
These two events were undoubtedly like dropping two atomic bombs in the Qing Imperial Palace. The entire capital was in uproar. The Qing Emperor, who prided himself on being filial, not only announced to the world that anyone who caught the murderer would be rewarded with silver and given a title, he also specially transferred "Dragon Sword" Chu Zhaonan back to the palace to be in charge of the capital's public security!
However, the instigator of all this—Zhou Yi, was sitting peacefully in Dugujing's Zhilan Palace at this moment, sitting cross-legged, breathing in and out true energy, and practicing internal skills with all his heart!
"Ding! The player can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and has broken through to the third chapter of the Nine Heavens Scripture, a total of nine chapters!"
With the beautiful prompt sound of the system, Zhou Yi slowly stopped the circulation of his true energy, opened his eyes, looked at Dugu Jing who was waiting in front of him, and said with a smile: "The food in this palace is different. Eating these ginseng, bird's nest and other tonic foods is really beneficial to my internal strength. Now I really want to stay in the palace and don't want to leave."
Dugu Jing said: "Relying on external objects to improve internal strength is ultimately empty and unstable. It is not the right way. It is better for you to practice slowly in the future!"
Zhou Yi smiled and nodded, then asked, "By the way, how are things going in the palace recently?"
Dugu Jing's eyes gradually became solemn. "The security of the capital has always been the responsibility of Wu Liuqi, the governor of the Nine Gates, and the security of the Forbidden Palace is the responsibility of Duolong, the chief of the imperial guards. These two people are considered the emperor's confidants, but this time you have caused such a big mess that the court and the public are shocked. Aobai's people have risen up in the court to remove these two people from their posts and investigate them!"
"Now even the emperor has a hard time protecting these two people. Once these two people are removed, the emperor's life and property will be in the hands of Aobai. The conflict between the two has intensified to the point where it cannot be adjusted, so..."
"So the emperor is going to take action ahead of time?" Zhou Yi hit the nail on the head and said, "Then your majesty, what should we do?"
"Hey! There's no need to call me Madam between us!" Dugu Jing rolled her eyes at Zhou Yi: "It makes me uncomfortable when you call me that! Just call me Jing'er."
Zhou Yi smiled silently and replied, "Okay, Madam!"
"You..." Dugu Jing was speechless and had to continue: "Both sides have already started recruiting experts. The emperor has already recalled "Dragon Sword" Chu Zhaonan and "Fire Hand Judge" Zhang Zhaozhong and others. I estimate that in just two days, Oboi will break into the palace in advance!"
"So, it's still a fight? Don't worry! I'm here!" Zhou Yi patted his chest and said with some pride.
"Yes! I have recommended you to His Majesty to be Kubu. Your performance will represent our Dugu clan's support for His Majesty, and will also be my biggest bargaining chip in the harem in the future! Therefore, I will supervise you in the next few days and train you hard to become as strong as possible before the decisive battle!"
As he was talking, Dugu Jing actually took out a long scroll from his arms, slowly unfolded it in front of Zhou Yi, and then slowly forced out a "creepy" smile in front of Zhou Yi.
"This is the devilish training plan I arranged for you! From today on, you can't relax for even a moment! Hurry up and get up and practice!!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
In just a few days, the day when Oboi broke into the palace arrived as expected. Early in the morning before dawn, Dugu Jing brought Zhou Yi to the imperial study to meet the Qing emperor.
As soon as he entered the imperial study, Zhou Yi felt extremely pressured. There were dozens of people standing here in a dark mass. Different from the ordinary civil and military officials who entered and left the palace, these people were filled with a strong flavor of the underworld. It was obvious that all of them were the underworld experts recruited by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in recent days!
As soon as Dugu Jing entered the room, she motioned Zhou Yi to stand among those martial arts people, and she quickly walked behind the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It was obvious that this female player who was obsessed with palace fighting had already received a great appointment from the emperor!
Soon, the emperor on the dragon throne also stood up. Facing a group of martial artists, he gave an impassioned speech, listing dozens of crimes committed by Oboi. It must be said that these people who had been in power for a long time were indeed well versed in the art of public speaking. Even Zhou Yi couldn't help but be infected by the passion and became excited. He wished he could rush out and fight dozens of rounds with Oboi and other traitors!
Of course, taking advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's speech, Zhou Yi also began to look at these people from the martial arts world who were recruited by the court.
Chu Zhaonan is a sturdy middle-aged man with an upright figure and handsome features. He has the world-famous "Dragon Sword" hanging on his waist. From a distance, he exudes an aura that says "keep away from strangers".
As for Zhang Zhaozhong standing next to him, he was much inferior to Chu Zhaonan in appearance. Although he looked tough in armor and wielding a sharp weapon, he looked really shabby. If Zhou Yi was not also from Wudang and was not very sensitive to the superb Wudang internal strength, he would never be sure that this man was the famous "Fire Hand Judge"!
Of course, besides these two martial artists, there was another person who attracted Zhou Yi's attention! Looking at the handsome and suave middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile slightly.
