Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

One of the loyal ministers was Zhu Wen's subordinate Zhu Dali, who pretended to be him. His purpose was to gain the trust of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang. He killed the eunuchs An Daoquan and Zhang Jun.

The mysterious black shadow appeared in front of Zhu Dali again, making bursts of hissing.

You, a sinister and cunning villain, dare to hurt me! Emperor Zhaozong of Tang was furious, his eyes blazing with fire, and he slashed at the black shadow with a sword.

The black shadow dodged flexibly and sneered: Humph, do you think you can deal with me with your ability?

Before he finished speaking, it suddenly soared into the air, turned into a ball of dark mist, and hit Zhu Dali heavily. Zhu Dali hurriedly waved his sword to meet it, only to hear a loud bang, and he was shocked and retreated repeatedly.

Stop! Zhu Dali roared, you treacherous villain, you will pay the price at my hands today!

The black shadow sneered, and a cloud of black mist swirled out with a wave of his hand. Zhu Dali quickly dodged and made sword moves.

At this moment, a shrill cry echoed in the forest: It turned out to be you, the traitor! How dare you deceive the world like this!

Zhu Dali was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a loyal minister rushing towards him angrily.

You...how do you know? Zhu Dali's face changed drastically, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good.

Humph, do you think you can hide your actions from my eyes? The loyal minister sneered, I have seen through your disguise a long time ago, you wolf-like and ambitious guy!

Zhu Dali saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly waved his sword to resist. The sword lights of the two intertwined like a dragon swallowing autumn water, making a clanging sound.

You, a treacherous and cunning traitor, will pay the price at my hands today! The loyal minister roared, showing his superb swordsmanship in every move.

Zhu Dali gritted his teeth in his heart. This loyal minister was indeed selected by him. He was so good. But he was an experienced veteran after all. How could he be easily suppressed by the other party?

The two of them fought back and forth, with sword moves flying and bursts of golden swords clashing. The forest was suddenly filled with flashing swords, whistling sounds came one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Do you think you can hide the truth? The loyal minister shouted, I have already found out all your conspiracies! You killed An Daoquan and Zhang Jun, and framed their crimes on the court, wanting to sit on the throne and usurp the throne!

Humph, you are really a smart man. Zhu Dali sneered, "Unfortunately, you have already stepped into my trap!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly soared into the air, and the sword in his hand burst into light, piercing Zhongchen's vitals. Zhongchen reacted quickly and took the blow, but was still shocked and retreated. He was secretly surprised that this guy had such amazing martial arts! At this moment, a shrill scream echoed in the forest: Help, there is a ghost! Zhongchen and Zhu Dali were stunned at the same time, and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a pale ghost rushing towards them from the darkness. What? There is such a terrifying guy! Zhongchen took a breath and quickly waved his sword to fight. The ghost screamed and rushed towards Zhongchen. Zhongchen stabbed with all his strength, but found that the sword lightIt was actually engulfed by the ghost's black mist, without causing any damage.

What kind of monster is this? Zhongchen gnashed his teeth, his heart was already filled with fear.

Zhu Dali sneered at this: "Don't you understand? This is just a small trap I lured you to. Now, just surrender!"

Zhongchen listened to Zhu Dali's words, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes. He sneered: "Zhu Dali, do you think your sweet words can deceive me? I would rather die with you than surrender!"

As he said, he waved his sword directly at Zhu Dali, with a fierce momentum. Zhu Dali's heart tightened when he saw this. He did not expect Zhongchen to be so bold. The fight between the two became more intense, with sword lights interlaced, sword energy crisscrossed, and bursts of metal clashing came from the forest.

Zhongchen was agile and sharp in swordsmanship, and he fought a desperate battle with Zhu Dali without fear. Although he was worried, his faith was not shaken. Zhu Dali seemed a little embarrassed. He was defeated by the powerful offensive of the loyal ministers and could not resist.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the atmosphere of flying swords, and a figure flew down from the tree. It was Tang Zhaozong. He glared at Zhu Dali and the loyal ministers, and shouted: "Zhu Dali, you are so bold and reckless, plotting to rebel and usurp the throne! I will decide it myself today!"

Zhu Dali was shocked when he saw this. He did not expect Tang Zhaozong to appear so suddenly. But he still tried to save the situation: "Your Majesty, this is a conspiracy by the loyal ministers to frame me. You can't believe his words!"

Tang Zhaozong was silent for a moment, his expression solemn. Finally, he waved his hand to signal the loyal ministers and Zhu Dali to stop. He looked at Zhu Dali deeply and said slowly: "Zhu Dali, your crimes have been exposed. You deceived the emperor and your crime is unforgivable!"

Zhu Dali was pale and speechless.

Tang Zhaozong was in trouble, Zhu Dali's conspiracy was obvious. In order to maintain national peace, the loyal minister Ren Chunying decided to seek support from Zhu Wen. Ren Chunying had great plans, crossed mountains and ridges, and finally came to Zhu Wen's mansion. The night was falling, the wind was blowing, and the moonlight was silver, reflecting Ren Chunying's resolute expression.

"General Zhu, the situation is urgent, Tang Zhaozong is in danger, please come to help quickly!" Ren Chunying knelt down and asked for help, and her voice resounded throughout the mansion.

Zhu Wen took a deep breath, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Ren Chunying with a hint of hesitation, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will go to rescue immediately!"

Under the leadership of Zhu Wen, a team of cavalry galloped towards the palace, with great momentum. However, undercurrents were surging, and Zhu Wen was not selfless. He was ambitious and took the opportunity to interfere in the government, disrupting the situation, making the civil strife worse. In the deep palace, there were intrigues and political struggles.

One day, a heart-wrenching scream was heard in the palace, accompanied by a bloody smell. The palace guards were in a panic, and everyone's face was pale. Deep in the palace, a black shadow slowly rose from the ground and rushed towards a palace like a storm.

"It's a ghost crying! Look!"

A guard pointed at the black shadow in the distance in horror and shoutedshouted. Tang Zhaozong's voice came from the palace: "Zhu Wen, what are you going to do?!"

Under the bloody moonlight, Zhu Wen stood at the door of the palace, holding an ancient sword, his eyes ferocious. A shadow quietly emerged, entwined around him like a ghost, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

"Zhu Wen, you actually colluded with demons and dared to do this to the royal family!" Tang Zhaozong was filled with anger, his fingers trembling.

Zhu Wen sneered: "Tang Zhaozong, you can't stop me. There is no place for you in this land."

As he spoke, the whole palace began to tremble, and a strange black hole appeared in the center of the palace, like an entrance to another world. The terrifying atmosphere enveloped the entire palace, making people terrified.

In the early morning when the sun rose, the golden roof of the palace flickered with a faint morning light, as if telling the glory of last night. However, the palace was shrouded in a haze, as if foreshadowing the coming of an ominous omen.
