Chapter 62: Ghost King Zhu Youwen, Luoyang Palace Coup!

Although the empress was curious about why this little girl suddenly wanted to join the army, she did not ask much. In this chaotic world, women had few choices, so she was willing to take in any woman who wanted to join her Huanyinfang as long as she was not a heinous criminal. Not to mention that Lu Linxuan was Li Xingyun's junior sister, so she had to give Li Xingyun face.

After the empress finished speaking, Ji Ruxue immediately bowed and said, "I have something else to report."

The empress looked at Ji Ruxue and said, "Stand up and talk."

Ji Ruxue stood up and said, "Before I left for Xuanming Sect, Master Li came to me and asked me to bring you a message."

"Oh?" The empress looked at Ji Ruxue curiously and asked, "What did you say?"

Ji Ruxue said: "Qi country is marching into Bianjing. Master Li, please be careful of the Ghost King Zhu Youwen of Xuanming Sect. This person is very powerful. Master Li asked you to meet this person. It is best not to fight him with the army. "

"Ghost King? I heard that he was once the best master of Xuanming Sect." The empress stood up and looked at Ji Ruxue with a smile and said, "He is indeed well-intentioned, but whether the Ghost King is stronger or my Illusion Sound Technique is stronger, we have to fight to know. I am the great King Qi, and I don't have the reason to be afraid before the battle."

Ji Ruxue frowned slightly. She knew very well that Li Xingyun would not lie to her. Li Xingyun's words were a confirmation that the Empress was no match for the Ghost King. But now she really had no reason to persuade the Empress. The Empress was also the King of Qi and represented the morale of the Qi army. It was not good for her to be afraid before the battle...

Lu Linxuan didn't say anything, but just looked at the empress and Ji Ruxue curiously. When did Senior Brother tell Ji Ruxue about this? She didn't even know. Also, why did the empress seem to be in a good mood when she mentioned Senior Brother? Lu Linxuan's big black eyes rolled around, and he felt that things didn't seem simple...

……

Luoyang, hell!
"Master Zhong Kui... why are you in the Nether Prison?" The Xuanming Sect members guarding the entrance looked at Zhong Xiaokui who appeared in the Nether Prison in surprise.

"Why, I can't be here?" Zhong Xiaokui looked at the man coldly. The Xuanming Sect member said hurriedly, "Of course you can, but the two judges said that the Hell is temporarily sealed and will be opened after they recover their power."

"Get out of the way! Don't make me say it a second time!" Zhong Xiaokui shouted indifferently, and a chill emanated from his body as he spoke.

The Xuanming Sect members immediately opened the entrance to the Netherworld. After all, they couldn't afford to offend the Judge of Water and Fire, and they couldn't afford to offend Lord Zhong Kui either.

Zhong Xiaokui frowned and stepped into the Nether Prison. She had been to the Nether Prison many times. If there was any place with the greatest possibility of having a dark room, it must be the Tianzi Prison. Zhong Xiaokui didn't think that Li Xingyun would lie to her about such a thing, so she walked straight towards the depths of the Nether Prison.

……

The secret room of the prison.

Dried black blood was imprinted on the man's forehead, his long hair fluttered in the black airflow, and clear blood vessels were visible on the man's strong muscles. Click... click, the chains bound around the man all broke with a fist movement.

"Oh... My king, I am finally free."

Ghost King Zhu Youwen wiped the blood from his forehead, then looked up and said disdainfully: "Idiot, you finally killed yourself."

At this moment, the door of the secret room suddenly trembled. Boom, boom, the stone door weighing thousands of pounds slowly rose up with a huge sound. Zhong Xiaokui looked at the Ghost King who had escaped from the secret room with surprise, and immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, Lord Ghost King." The Ghost King snorted, and after seeing who was coming, he walked out and said coldly, "What's the situation outside?"

Zhong Xiaokui bowed and said, "Replying to the Ghost King, the Underworld Emperor and His Majesty are already dead. During the time you were missing, the Underworld Emperor found a substitute who looks like you to temporarily take your place. Now the substitute is being jointly recommended by the ministers to become the emperor."

The Ghost King paused after hearing this and sneered twice, "Haha, claiming the throne?"

“Hahaha, this is ridiculous. Are all the Zhu family members dead? How could they allow an imposter to be crowned emperor?” The Ghost King looked at Zhong Xiaokui coldly, but saw Zhong Xiaokui saying slowly: “Ghost King, I heard that the Third Prince left Luoyang early and went to Wei Bo to meet General Yang. I guess the Third Prince will not give up the fight for the throne.”

The Ghost King snorted and said calmly, "That's still a bit of a show. Come with me. I want to see how a fake dares to sit on the throne of my Zhu family!"

As a martial arts fanatic, the Ghost King has been devoted to martial arts all his life just to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. He himself does not have much pursuit for the throne, but even so, he will not watch the country of Daliang fall into the hands of others.

……

Chaoyuan Hall.

The fake Ghost King in mourning was stroking the golden dragon throne with a slight trembling. Once upon a time, he was just a street thug. Unexpectedly, he was found by the people of Xuanming Sect, and then he inexplicably became the second prince of Daliang. However, being the second prince was not so easy. He lived in fear every day for fear of being recognized. He had to endure beatings and scoldings from the Emperor of the Underworld, and his wounds healed and re-injured.

But even with such a hard life, he actually managed to survive, and now he is only one step away from the position of Emperor of Daliang!
Zhu Wen is dead, the Underworld Emperor is also dead, and the people of the Xuanming Sect are all undercover agents of the Bad People. This means that no one can know his true identity now. Even if someone notices the difference between him and the real Ghost King, so what? The rice is cooked, and he is the emperor of Daliang!
"Haha, hahaha!" The fake Ghost King couldn't help laughing, but at this time all the courtiers and generals who supported the Second Prince couldn't help frowning. How come this Second Prince was so different from the gentle and elegant Second Prince before?

Jing Xiang claimed to be ill and did not attend the court. Now the leaders of the ministers are Li Zhen and Zhang Quanyi. The two old foxes looked at each other and knew what the other wanted. Li Zhen's eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness. Right now the third prince is still mobilizing troops in Wei Bo. Now as long as they can decisively let this fake ascend the throne, they will have an absolute advantage in righteousness!
After all, when Zhu Wen was attacked, it was the second prince Zhu Youwen who stayed by his side, not the third prince Zhu Youzhen! Gathering the power of Daliang, even if Zhu Youzhen had the support of Yang Shihou, what could he do? That old guy probably wouldn't live for a few more years. Haha, the most powerful minister in the history is here!
Li Zhen took a deep breath, then stepped out and saluted the man on the dragon throne:

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day! Your Highness, please accept my condolences..."

Boom!

Before Li Zhen could finish his words, the gate of Chaoyuan Hall exploded.

A figure in a black robe slowly walked in.

"Lord Li is right, but the emperor of Daliang cannot be a fake."

Li Zhen's eyes widened and he looked at the person who came in surprise. He didn't expect Zhu Youwen to appear here. What was going on?

It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes. No matter how well Li Zhen planned, he never expected that the Ghost King Zhu Youwen was not dead at all, and appeared in Luoyang alive and well!
