C19 Xuan-yuan Sword

At this moment, his eyes were red, and the flesh on his cheek was trembling. He was obviously extremely angry, but he had to suppress the anger in his heart. In the capital, it was not his place to act atrociously.

"Good, very good!" Zhu Zheng clapped his hands and said with a cold voice.

"I thank the Duke of Qin for his praises. I have accidentally beheaded your beloved general, so I ask for your punishment!" Xue Rengui spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. How was that attitude and tone a guilty plea?

"Xue Qianhu has retreated. Why would Imperial Uncle care so much about you? Do you think that the people of my imperial family are all so narrow-minded?" At this moment, Zhu Houzhao's voice was heard.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Xue Rengui cupped his fists in salute and retreated. Zhu Zheng, on the other hand, was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

"Humph!" Zhu Zheng snorted coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned his face away.

"Second brother, this kid is not simple. Neither of us made him lose face today." Zhu Zhang, who was standing at the side, spoke in a low voice. He did not care about the death of his scholar. His face was grave, but his tone contained a hint of schadenfreude.

Although Zhu Di, Zhu Xiu, and Zhu Yuan didn't say anything, they didn't look too good. It could be said that Zhu Houzhao had given them a good show of strength today.

As for the youngest Emperor, Zhu Chi, he was actually very shocked. Normally, he would be in the capital and would also be paying attention to Zhu Houzhao's every move. This little Emperor had given him a whole new level of respect for him.

Although Zhu Houzhao saw the expressions of his uncles, he did not care. Today, he had ruthlessly humiliated them, and was very happy in his heart.

"Ding! System Quest: Increase the Host's prestige among the officials. Completion reward: 10 thousand Points, box of Barrier Breaking Pills, one character summoning card. Will the Host accept the quest?" At this moment, the system's voice rang out.

"Accept!" Zhu Houzhao accepted the mission without hesitation. What he lacked now was points. With an opportunity, how could he let it go?

After accepting the mission, Zhu Houzhao had an idea.

"System, I will mainly exchange for the Xuan-Yuan Sword." Zhu Houzhao immediately issued an order to the system in his mind.

As Zhu Houzhao's voice faded, the Xuan-Yuan Sword Card floating in the system warehouse instantly glowed with a dazzling golden light. At the same time, golden lotuses accompanied by countless sounds rang out, and the card disappeared as a heavy sword was placed in the system warehouse.

"Ding! Congratulations to host, the Xuan-Yuan Sword has been successfully exchanged. Would you like to use it?" The System's voice resounded in his mind.

"Use it!" Zhu Hou ordered.

Following Zhu Hou's orders, Xuanyuan Sword's golden light flashed and disappeared from the system's warehouse. At the same time, the entire throne room started to shake violently.

"Rumble!"

The throne room shook non-stop, and countless tiles fell to the ground.

"Ah?" What happened? "

"Is this the turnaround of an earth dragon?"

"Oh my god!"

"..."

Everyone's body swayed in the direction of the throne room, and from time to time, someone would speak out their thoughts. At the same time, everyone, including the Nine Emperor Uncle, was staring at the throne room with a solemn expression.

Only Zhu Houzhao had an indifferent look on his face. He returned to the Dragon Throne, allowing the shaking of the main hall to take place.

"To see what's going on?" Cai Jing held onto a pillar and yelled at the guard at the door. At this moment, the guard was also panicking, but Cai Jing was the Prime Minister, so he had no choice but to listen to the order. Thus, he shakily went outside to check the situation.

At this time, everyone slowly recovered their calm. As they inadvertently saw the young man on the dragon throne, everyone was startled.

"His Majesty is different!"

"Just based on his bearing alone, he is definitely worthy of the title of 'ruler'."

As for the Nine Emperor Uncle, when he saw Zhu Houzhao's indifferent expression, his heart was thrown into turmoil.

"Taishan pressure without changing color, good bearing!" Although Zhu Zheng was very angry today, he couldn't help but inwardly cheer when he saw Zhu Hou's expression.

"I don't know if my years of preparation were right or wrong." Zhu Yuan thought.

"Hmph, so what if you are calm? This King will sooner or later sit on the throne of the Emperor!" Zhu Di clenched his fists tightly, trying to cheer himself up.

"..."

Slowly, the shaking movements in the hall became smaller and smaller, until it finally became calm again.

"Sande, send someone to clean this place up." After Zhu Hou had finished with his orders, he waited for the guards who had gone out earlier to return.

"Report!" The guard's voice echoed from outside.

"Come in!"

Hearing Zhu Hou's order, the guard quickly ran in and knelt on one knee.

"Have you investigated what happened?" Zhu Houzhao's deep voice sounded.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a sword descended from the sky outside the throne room and inserted itself onto the stairs outside. When the brothers outside saw the treasured sword descending, they were shocked!" The guard reported truthfully.

"This is truly strange. There is actually such a strange thing. Have all of you dear officials heard of it?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not as if the heavens have not bestowed the treasured sword yet." At this time, Li Lin Fu walked out, his voice neither hurried nor hurried.

"Oh? "My beloved one, come quickly." Zhu Houzhao leaned forward, revealing a strong interest in Ai Hui's performance.

"Your Majesty, every time a treasured sword descends from the sky, it is either to signify the acknowledgement of the heavens or …" Li Linfu stopped as he spoke.

"What's wrong? It can't be the opposite, right? " Zhu Houzhao asked.

Li Linfu nodded.

"Haha, I believe that I am able to become even more prosperous thanks to my hard work. Therefore, I believe that I have obtained the acknowledgement of the heavens." Zhu Houzhao laughed and said arrogantly.

"Quick, get me the treasured sword!" Zhu Houzhao ordered the guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard turned back, but did not return for a long time.

"Let's go take a look at the door. Why did you take so long to find a sword?" Zhu Houzhao said impatiently.

"Yes, Your Majesty." A few officials at the edge of the hall walked out quickly. This time, they returned even faster. However, they did not hold any treasured swords in their hands.

"What's going on?" Zhu Houzhao asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, that great sword is deeply embedded in the stairs. This subject and the others didn't even manage to pull it out. Your Majesty, please forgive them." A ninth rank official said truthfully as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Let's go and see what's going on!" Zhu Houzhao stood up and walked down the stairs, taking the lead to walk out. Nine Emperor uncles, Cai Jing, Li Linfu, Gao Ying, Yang Jian and the others also followed him out.

"Your Majesty, this is the legendary Xuan Yuan Treasure Sword from the ancient times." Cai Jing said excitedly after watching around Xuanyuan sword for a while.

"What!"

"Xuan-Yuan Sword!"

Everyone was shocked.
