From the selection to the training of the killer, everything is kept secret. Apart from the emperor, the only people who know about it are a few of his confidants.
Therefore, even Cao Gong didn't know that the emperor had this skill.
It was as if the emperor didn't know that he had a musketry team under his command.
Both sides have their own trump cards.
However, it was different on the emperor's side. In order to maintain enough secrecy, he hid the killer team too deeply. Their selection and training were all done in secret.
The origins of these killers are also innocent enough. They are all homeless orphans with good backgrounds.
Then they were secretly brought here and treated with special medicinal materials by the imperial physician, so that they could be immersed in the medicinal materials for training since childhood, and then taught by truly top teachers.
In this way, each of the trained killers is an absolute killing machine.
However, in order to control the killing machine in front of him and prevent them from being taken advantage of by others, the emperor also issued such an order, that is, unless he himself appears, otherwise no matter what else, this team of killers will not
Able to show up easily.
This is to keep these killers secretive enough, not to appear in front of everyone easily, and to maintain a sense of mystery.
After all, ordinary things can be solved with the defenders, and there is no need for these killers to come forward. If they come out, they will kill the chicken with a sledgehammer.
If the emperor personally comes forward to ask for their help at any time, it means that the matter has reached an extremely urgent stage, and even the defenders cannot compete at all. At this time, it is already a matter of life and death, and these killers can also come forward.
.
This is why, even though the outside world was already in a mess, these killers remained calm and completely unmoved.
Because the emperor did not come to see them.
It was only at this moment that these killers finally became serious.
They also knew that the matter had reached a very serious stage.
So, after receiving the emperor's order, dark figures instantly moved toward Lingfeng Hall for reinforcements.
At this time, the emperor glanced at their departing figures and hesitated for a moment. At this time, he could follow these killers back.
However, considering that Cao Gong may have some weird tricks up his sleeve, these killers alone may not be safe enough.
So, he naturally thought of the other guarding forces in the palace. The most important and powerful one was the one guarding the scrolls.
The giant man and the short sword formation.
At this time, the emperor had no idea that the giant man and the short sword formation he had placed high hopes on had already been dealt with by Wei Zong.
At this time, after thinking for a while, the emperor walked towards the room where the scrolls were stored just to be safe.
Although the scroll is very important, once the guards withdraw, someone may take advantage of it, but in any case, no matter how important the scroll is, it is not as important as your own life.
If the palace is attacked by Cao Gong, he will lose his life.
Therefore, at that time, no matter how important the scroll is, it will be of no use and will fall into Cao Gong's hands.
When he thought of this, the emperor no longer hesitated and quickly led a few people to protect him to the room where the scrolls were stored.
However, soon after arriving here, he discovered something was wrong.
That is, the door of the front room was opened, and it looked like someone had broken in.
Seeing this scene, the emperor's expression changed instantly.
He suddenly thought that there was a team of gunmen chasing Wei Zong before. Could it be that they broke into this place?
In fact, he had not doubted Wei Zong until this moment. After all, Wei Zong had been injured and he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
The only possibility is that the gunmen team, it is very likely that after they killed Wei Zong, they came here again and wanted to take away the scroll as well.
In other words, they were following Cao Gong's orders.
This Cao Gong is really very scheming and very ambitious.
When he thought of this, the emperor's face instantly turned cold.
The next moment, he glanced at the surrounding Forbidden Army, and then said coldly: "Let's go in!"
At this time, the imperial troops blocked the emperor for an instant, and then slowly advanced forward. The purpose was naturally to prevent gunmen from suddenly appearing and attacking the emperor.
Under the protection of their armor and shields, even muskets could hardly harm the emperor.
As they slowly advanced, the emperor quickly saw the situation in the room. He saw that the dagger array that he had placed high hopes on had now turned into cold corpses.
When he saw this scene, the emperor's whole body and heart twitched.
After all, he spent a lot of effort to train such a short sword formation, but he died here like this.
At this time, although the emperor was very unhappy, he was still moving forward slowly. He knew that ahead was the area guarded by giant men.
That giant man can be said to be one of his biggest trump cards. The giant man is born with supernatural power and has indestructible armor. If he is on the battlefield, he will be an enemy of ten thousand people.
With him around, even the musketeers would probably have a hard time hurting him, after all, the armor was too strong.
However, when the emperor continued to move forward and entered the next room, the first thing he saw was the corpse of the giant man.
At this time, the face of the giant man's corpse had become completely charred, and it was impossible to tell who it was.
The temperature on his body has turned cold. He doesn't know how long he has been dead.
When he saw this scene, the emperor's body swayed slightly and his face turned extremely pale. He did not expect that even the giant man was dead.
Is this because God wants to destroy him?
The emperor's body trembled slightly, then he slowly raised his head and looked towards the end of the room, where the door had been opened and was half-closed, so he could not see the situation on the other side of the room.
But obviously, someone must have gone in.
At this time, the emperor slowly slowed down his pace, and then slowly walked over there under the protection of many forbidden troops.
He needs to know what happened.
Because until now, he finally realized that something was wrong. Although so many people died on his side, there were no corpses of those musketeers at all. This was impossible. His men were all elites. Even those musketeers were dead.
