Chapter 257: Crisis Returns and the Search for the Truth (2)
Ling Xuan nodded in agreement, and they began to carefully plan the operation. On the one hand, they arranged trusted guards like loyal guards to secretly protect Lord Li, standing guard day and night, not leaving his side, to prevent the eunuch group from attacking him;
On the other hand, they collected and compiled a mountain of irrefutable evidence about the eunuch group. Each piece of evidence was like a cannonball, ready to be presented to His Majesty the Emperor at the right time, requesting His Majesty to send troops to encircle and suppress this evil force and eradicate it with thunderous force.
However, just as they were about to act, the eunuch group seemed to have sensed something, like an owl in the dark night, smelling the danger.
They launched the attack first, sending a group of assassins to sneak into the palace like ghosts, targeting Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting.
One night, Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting were on their way back to their residence, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them.
Suddenly, a group of black-clad killers surged out from all directions like a tide and surrounded them in an instant.
The killers were dressed in black, with black scarves covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, like Shuras from hell.
Ling Xuan reacted quickly, like an enraged cheetah. He drew out his sword in an instant, protected Yun Mengting behind him, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you commit murder in the palace!" The killers did not answer, but just waved the sharp blades in their hands, flashing cold light, like stars falling to the earth, rushing up with the breath of death.
Ling Xuan is an expert swordsman. His sword looks like a nimble dragon in the moonlight, rising from the sea and soaring into the air, thrusting left and right among the group of killers. Each of his swords is powerful, carrying endless strength and determination. Each of his swords can repel the enemy, splashing blood.
Yun Mengting was not to be outdone. The whip in her hand was like a nimble snake, whistling in the air. The tip of the whip was like a sharp blade, lashing at the approaching killers. Wherever it went, the enemies dodged, as if afraid of the sharpness of the whip.
But the killers were numerous and all of them had great martial arts skills. They gradually fell into a tough fight, like two tigers trapped in a pack of wolves. Although they fought hard, they found it difficult to break through.
At this moment, the palace guards heard the commotion and rushed to support like a tide. They were holding weapons and shouting and killing, breaking the silence of the night.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the killers wanted to retreat, but how could Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting let them go easily?
They worked together with the guards to encircle and suppress them, like a tightening net, and finally captured all the killers.
Through interrogation of the killer, they obtained the specific action plan of the eunuch group.
It turned out that the eunuch group was preparing to launch a coup at the palace banquet three days later. They were like a group of greedy hungry wolves, colluding with some treacherous ministers in the court and desperate criminals in the rivers and lakes, attempting to control the court in one fell swoop and support a puppet emperor to take the throne in order to realize their ambition to regain control of the world.
Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting knew time was running out, like an arrow on a string, ready to be released. They sped up their pace, like a pair of swift geese, shuttling between the palace and the martial arts world.
They informed the loyal and righteous people in the court of the eunuch group's conspiracy. Everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Everyone's face was firm and resolute, like towering mountains, unshakable.
At the palace banquet, the eunuch group launched a rebellion as planned. For a moment, shouts and screams resounded throughout the palace, and the banquet scene was like a Shura battlefield, in chaos.
But they didn't expect that Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting had already made preparations, like two chess players with great wisdom, who had laid a tight net in advance.
The loyal and righteous men engaged in a fierce battle with the rebels. Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting were at the forefront, like two peerless divine weapons, showing their sharpness.
Wherever Ling Xuan's sword went, the rebels fell one after another, as neatly as harvesting wheat. His figure was like a solid fortress, blocking the enemy's attack; Yun Mengting's soft whip also whistled in the air, beating the enemy to a pulp. Her posture was like a dancing fairy, but with deadly lethality.
After a thrilling battle, they finally succeeded in suppressing the rebellion and wiped out the eunuch group and its remnants. It was like a storm sweeping across the world, sweeping away all the evil in the world.
With the rebellion quelled, peace returned to the palace, as if after experiencing a nightmare, the dawn finally arrived.
During this crisis, Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting not only protected the peace of the palace, but also made their relationship more indestructible, like a pearl forged in fire, becoming more and more dazzling.
They know very well that in this complex world of the palace and the underworld, there are more challenges waiting for them, but as long as they work hand in hand, like a pair of lotus flowers, nothing can stop them from pursuing justice and peace. They will continue to write their own legendary stories in this magnificent world.
