Chapter 353: Xue Ye Relinquishes Power, the Prince Takes Over

"How dare you!"

Before Xue Ye could react, his brother Xue Xing stepped forward and pointed at Gu You aggressively.

"Who do you think you are talking to, Gu You? Don't think that you are the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, which can support you to speak to the ruler of the empire in this tone."

Others may not know who this young man is who dares to point at Emperor Xue Ye and scold him, but how could Xue Xing not recognize him?

He is nearly six feet tall, with strong and powerful muscles, and he exudes an extremely dangerous and fierce aura while being weak. Isn't this Gu You who won the position of captain of the Royal Fighting Team between the two masters Yu Tianheng and Meng Yiran?

Well, the portrait specially made by someone also played a role. But it doesn't matter. The key is that Xue Xing recognized Gu You.

Captain of the Royal Fighting Team, who was seduced by Xue Qinghe as soon as he entered the academy, how could such a young man with a predestined relationship not appear when he was managing Tiandou Royal Academy?

Xue Xing was jealous of Xue Qinghe's good luck, especially after hearing that Gu You and Dugu Bo had a relationship and Dugu Bo admired him, Xue Xing was even more jealous.

"Come on, take this guy down."

Xue Xing's face was filled with anger, but the pleasure of revenge was clearly visible in his eyes. There was no doubt that his behavior was suspected of revenge.

Hearing his order, the guards on both sides woke up from their surprise. Someone dared to point at Xue Ye's nose and curse in front of them. This was unacceptable. They rushed forward to take down Gu You to make up for their mistakes.

These guards were all soul masters, and all of them were level 30 soul masters. Although the special environment did not allow them to release their martial souls, they only used soul power, plus the advantage of numbers, and soon surrounded Gu You, who did not dodge or resist.

Seeing that Gu You was surrounded by enemies with only half of his head exposed, Xue Xing asked Ge Long, who was watching coldly, with interest: "Marshal Ge Long, according to the imperial law, what is the crime for those who bump into the emperor?"

Ge Long had a gloomy face and didn't want to answer Xue Xing's question. He even had the urge to punch that smug face.

But as the most loyal supporter of the Xue family, even if he was one of his least favorite masters, Ge Long could only take a deep breath and answer: ".Those who bump into the emperor should be sentenced to death."

"What is the responsibility of the imperial marshal?"

"Protect the imperial territory and guard the emperor's glory."

"Then what are you waiting for."

"."

Ge Long's weathered old face darkened a little more. Isn't Xue Xing's words roasting him on the fire?

Everything that happened outside the palace has been known to everyone in the palace through the spies sent by Xue Ye.

Please, Xue Ye, who can be called the emperor by the outside world, is not a fool. Now the toxins in his body have not reached the standard of entering the brain, but his physical condition is not very good. When his thinking ability is clear, he deliberately arranged for spies to observe the situation of Haotian Douluo Tang Hao outside.

If Haotian Douluo is in a normal mood when he appears, he will open the city gates and hold a banquet to welcome him to show the emperor's demeanor. But if he comes with murderous intent, let the army outside use their lives to buy time for him so that he can leave safely through the secret passage.

As for what the army outside will think, it has nothing to do with Xue Ye. He is the emperor of Tiandou, how can his worth be the same as that of a soldier.

There are many soldiers, and if they are gone, they can be recruited again, but there is only one emperor, and if they are gone, they are really gone.

The world is so beautiful, there is no need to sacrifice one's life for the country.

Well, this is not the point. The spy did not see Tang Hao, but only saw the prince's car coming back from outside in a hurry. According to the conversation, the prince who left the palace privately wanted to stop Tang Hao from destroying the city, but Tang Hao did not see him, but saved a soul master who was suspected to be seriously injured at the scene. Bring him back to the military doctor for treatment, and finally ask him if he knows why Tang Hao took action.

As the prince of Tiandou, Xue Qinghe's selling point is his kindness and good temper, which can satisfy most people. When encountering a seriously injured person, Xue Qinghe will help him, which is in line with his character. It would be strange if he did not help.

But Xue Qinghe's performance outside the palace proves that his attitude towards Gu You is not as simple as helping. The unmannerly yelling shows that he values ​​this man named Gu You very much.

Purely out of friendship? Or investing in the future?

Ge Long doesn't know, and doesn't care. He is a loyal minister of the Xue family. With Xue Ye's health deteriorating today, Prince Xue Qinghe may ascend the throne at any time and become his direct leader. Prince Xue Xing's words are not well-intentioned.

Sighing in his heart, with one hand on the sword on his waist that symbolizes his status as a marshal, Ge Long is ready to take action.

Even if Xue Qinghe may play tricks on him in the future, he will have to wait until Xue Qinghe ascends the throne. Now the object of his loyalty is still Xue Ye, and he still has to put Xue Ye's needs first.

This matter can be big or small. The big one is the face of the country, and the small one is a family dispute. The person Xue Qinghe values ​​​​accuses Emperor Xue Ye. If no one mentions it, then it will be considered a joke. Since someone pointed it out, we must take action to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

Just as Ge Long took a step forward and prepared to draw his sword, a dry big hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Haha, the young generation is young and arrogant, and they don't know how high the sky is. We, as elders, should look at some of their behaviors with an inclusive attitude, don't you think so?"

The sword could not be pulled out, and the body was heavy as if a mountain was pressing down, and the soul power he used was like a drop in the ocean. Ge Long frowned, and all kinds of bad guesses came to his mind at the same time, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, is this what Master Ning meant?"

"No, that's what I mean." Beside Ge Long, Gu Rong smiled lightly, looking as relaxed as chatting with an old friend.

Although there were hints from Ning Fengzhi, as the protector Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Gu Rong was not stupid enough to leave any clues to outsiders.

As for Gu You who was surrounded by the crowd, Gu Rong had no intention of helping him and seemed not to worry about him getting hurt at all.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, it is enough to stop Ge Long from taking action. Any more will make the empire think that the Qibao Glazed Sect has another agenda.

On the other hand, he believed in Gu You's strength. His great nephew is not a being that these guards can suppress.

Now Gu You looks even more embarrassed than when he first came in. Someone kicked him in the back of the knee, causing him to almost kneel on one knee. Each of his arms was held tightly by three people and turned backwards. There were two people behind him. Pressing forward. Putting his hands on the back of his head, he tried to make Gu You surrender to Xue Ye on the throne.

Even though he was treated like this, Gu You never resisted. Before Xue Ye could answer, Gu You, who was already confident in his heart, slowly spoke: "Xue Ye, you are still trying to evade your responsibilities."

Perhaps Xue Ye was preparing to gain the absolute upper hand and then face his own attacks with a condescending attitude. However, Gu You was not prepared to let him get his wish.

Since you don't take action, I'm going to do a combo.

"Answer me, Xue Ye. Where were you when Tang Hao was wreaking havoc in the city and forcibly abducting the people under your rule?"

His body shook slightly, and with only physical strength, Gu You easily shook away the guard who even used his soul power.

Not caring about the guard who fell at his feet, Gu You was like a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time, slowly waking up from the infinite time. He stood up and looked up, his dazzling golden eyes carrying the aura of the apex of the ancient ecological niche crashed straight into Xue Ye's mind.

At this moment, Xue Ye felt that Gu You was so tall despite the fact that he was higher up than Gu You. Like a prehistoric beast galloping on the ancient plains, it is looking down at the brand new species that has just been born at its feet.

You can trample him to death, but it's not necessary.

"superior!"

After all, they were the soul masters who could be arranged to serve as guards here. Before Xue Ye Xuexing could give the order again, they rushed towards Gu You again.

But now that Guyou's goal has been achieved, there is no need to play the game of catching bad guys with them anymore, so he shouted in a deep voice: "Get out of here!"

Gu You grabbed it with his backhand, without using soul power or soul skills. He just relied on his long-trained body to swing the first guard who flew towards him like a meteor hammer.

"When Poison Douluo Mianxia was fighting bravely, unable to use the strongest poison because he had to protect the people in the city, and was finally defeated by Tang Hao, where were you?"

The meteor hammer was not used smoothly. After Guyou knocked several people away, he let go of the poor guard and threw it forward, flying right by Xue Ye's ear. He turned around and kicked away Lao Liu, who was preparing for a sneak attack. He slapped his palm to the left and flew away the stunned Qing who rushed up from the left, leaving a deep fingerprint on his armor.

"When the force clan following Tang Hao prepared to attack us, where were you?"

Each hand held a head and collided in front of them. The two guards fainted happily from the concussion. He raised his right elbow and accurately blocked a straight punch, then followed up with a roundhouse kick, kicking three people away in a row.

"When I fell powerless in the ruins and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appearing instead of you in a trance, where were you?"

Pressing down with his big hand, the two heads and helmets were embedded in the ground. A heavy right hook knocked the last conscious guard to the ground.

Gu You's face was flushed with the flush caused by strenuous exercise, and he roared: "Answer me, aren't you the emperor? Why didn't you show up when we needed you most? Is your butt stuck to the stool?!"

"."

Everyone was stunned. Xue Ye, who was sitting on the throne, had a gloomy face and could not utter a single word of defense.

Because reality is like this. No matter what language you use to whitewash it, you can't change the established facts.

Of course, if it is a god and he has a long-term plan, then it is a different matter.

Under the throne, Xuexing could not say a word now, and stood there with his mouth wide open like a trash can. Ge Long, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed together with the three educational committee members of the college, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.

The cultivation level of the guards cannot exceed that of the emperor. This is mainly due to the emperor's face. It is an unwritten rule of the Tiandou Empire.

Therefore, the guards who can stay here are all the elite among the elite. Even if you don't use martial arts and use specially crafted sophisticated equipment, you can still defeat a thousand-year-old soul beast that is less than three thousand years old by using combined attacks.

Now both sides have no need to use martial arts, and one of them is even suffering from internal injuries. In theory, the side with more people and perfect condition has an absolute advantage. It was such an unfair battle, and the side with the absolute advantage was completely wiped out by the weaker side without the ability to fight back.

Is this really reasonable?

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong couldn't help but look surprised.

Gu You is still a soul master, and the aura on his body cannot be faked, and it is impossible to deceive them right under their noses. It is true that he was seriously injured, probably because he was too close and was affected by Tang Hao's attack.

If he can still win with this kind of physical condition, he will definitely become a great player.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's eyes became hot, and they openly revealed their intention to accept Gu You under the Qibao Glazed Sect.

As for the ministers who were farther away, they all lowered their heads. They were oblivious to what was happening outside and only wanted to count their toes.

They were ministers, soul masters, and nobles. Apart from these identities, they were still Tiandou people, and most of their families lived in Tiandou City.

Just like the conversation between Xue Xing and Ge Long, it would have been fine if Gu You hadn't mentioned Xue Ye's problem, but once he did, everyone realized something was wrong.

You, Xue Ye, live in the palace, are the emperor, and are heavily guarded. Of course, you don't worry about Tang Hao going crazy. Their families are all in Tiandou City. Once Tang Hao goes crazy, the Clear Sky Hammer may hit their family members' heads at any time.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt that Xue Ye, you kid, did something really unkind. Compared with the prince who went alone to stop it, it was simply unbearable to watch.

"Gu You."

Just as Gu You was about to continue speaking, Xue Qinghe stepped forward quickly. He bypassed the guards lying on the ground, stood in front of Gu You, and said, "I know you are angry now. But please believe in the Empire, believe me, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Believe in the Empire?" Gu You laughed angrily, "Your Highness, what do you think I should do to believe in the Empire ruled by a guy sitting on the throne at a critical moment?"

This made the ministers bow their heads even deeper, wishing they could puncture their eardrums.

Calling the emperor is Xue Ye, and calling Xue Qinghe the Crown Prince. This Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by.

Xue Ye saw all the various forms of life. In an instant, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

His health was getting worse and worse. The government affairs that could be handled in half a day before now had to be handled until the evening. Tang Hao's incident made him lose the trust of his subordinates again, and the current captain of the Royal Fighting Team did not hide his rejection of him.

If things continue to develop, I am afraid that the throne of the Xue family will not be preserved.

'However, there is still Qinghe. ’

Xue Ye stared at Xue Qinghe’s back. The eldest son Xue Qinghe had grown up. He had the support of most ministers and had also won over Gu You, the captain. Compared with the young and dandy Xue Beng, the calm and capable Xue Qinghe would surely be able to balance the interests of all parties.

The voice of his younger brother Xue Xing faintly rang in his ears, and his words were full of vigilance against Xue Qinghe. Xue Ye sighed helplessly.

“Qinghe.”

“Yes, father.”

On the throne, Xue Ye waved to Xue Qinghe. When Xue Qinghe came to his side, he put the scepter in his hand, which symbolized the imperial power, into Xue Qinghe’s hand.

“I’m tired. This matter is left to you to handle.”

After saying that, he didn’t care who Tang Hao had kidnapped, and didn’t pay attention to the shocked people below, and turned around and left.

“Father?”

“Big brother?”

“Your Majesty?”

Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe, was stunned on the spot. In the Tiandou Empire, the scepter in hand represents the imperial power being exercised, and the crown on the head represents the current emperor of the empire. She didn't expect that the scepter that she had failed to seize by all means would be handed to her by Xue Ye himself.

And it was handed over so readily.

'Gu You.'

Whispering Gu You's name in her heart, Qian Renxue understood that all this was his credit.

Gu You's mission was successfully completed, and she, Qian Renxue, should also start to carry out her mission.

Xue Qinghe said to Gu You with a sincere face: "Please tell me, what happened there just now?"
