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

Zhu Wen sneered and said to the guards: "Quick, behead this traitor to comfort the spirit of His Majesty in heaven!"

The guards pressed Zhu Yougong to the ground, and one of them raised the big knife in his hand.

"Zhu Wen, you will not die well!" Zhu Yougong made his last cry before he died.

The big knife fell, and Zhu Yougong's voice stopped abruptly.

Zhu Wen looked at Zhu Yougong's body, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. He knew that as long as he pushed the crime to Zhu Yougong, he could temporarily get rid of suspicion.

"Everyone, the most important thing now is to stabilize the court. We can't let His Majesty's death be sacrificed in vain." Zhu Wen said to everyone.

The ministers nodded one after another. They were all confused by Zhu Wen's performance and thought he was a leader capable of stabilizing the situation.

Zhu Wen was secretly proud in his heart. He knew that as long as he controlled the court, he could realize his ambition step by step.

However, he did not notice that in the crowd, there was a pair of eyes staring at him coldly.

The owner of these eyes was an inconspicuous little eunuch, who knew Zhu Wen's true face and knew that Zhu Yougong was innocent.

"Zhu Wen, do you think you can hide it from everyone?" The little eunuch thought to himself.

He decided to expose Zhu Wen's conspiracy and avenge Zhu Yougong.

With the death of Zhu Yougong, Zhu Wen's conspiracy seemed to succeed temporarily.

The little eunuch walked carefully in the corner of the palace. His destination was a secret place outside the palace, where several old officials of the Tang Dynasty gathered. They each had extraordinary abilities and had a strong interest in the death of Tang Zhaozong.

"Fairy King of Grass, Heavenly Doctor Qiu Wancai, Poison King Yao Dahai, and Ren Chunying, they are all people who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Now, they may be able to help me uncover Zhu Wen's true face." The little eunuch thought to himself.

He came to a seemingly ordinary house and knocked on the door gently.

"Who?" A vigilant voice came from inside the door.

"It's me, little eunuch." The little eunuch replied in a low voice.

The door slowly opened, revealing a familiar face - Fairy King of Grass.

"Little eunuch, why are you here?" Fairy King of Grass asked.

"I have something important to tell you." The little eunuch said as he walked into the house.

Inside the house sat Heavenly Doctor Qiu Wancai, Poison King Yao Dahai and Ren Chunying, all of whom were waiting for the arrival of the little eunuch.

"Little eunuch, what news do you have?" Qiu Wancai asked.

The young eunuch took a deep breath and began to tell about Zhu Wen's conspiracy and Zhu Yougong's death.

"Zhu Wen, the traitor, dared to murder His Majesty and put the blame on Zhu Yougong!" Yao Dahai said angrily.

"We must expose his true face and avenge Zhu Yougong!" Ren Chunying also said excitedly.

Fairy Cao Wang pondered for a while, then said: "Each of us has special abilities. If we unite, we may be able to fight against Zhu Wen."

"Yes,We must unite and not let Zhu Wen's conspiracy succeed!" Qiu Wancai said firmly.

They began to discuss the specific plan, and everyone put forward their own ideas.

"I can use my medical skills to create a drug that can make people tell the truth." Qiu Wancai said.

"I can mix a colorless and odorless poison to deal with Zhu Wen's confidants." Yao Dahai said.

"I can use my light skills to sneak into Zhu Wen's mansion and collect intelligence." Ren Chunying said.

"I can use my grass and wood skills to create illusions that confuse the enemy." Grass King Fairy said.

The little eunuch watched their plan with hope in his heart.

"We must succeed and not let Zhu Wen's conspiracy succeed! "The young eunuch said firmly.

They began to act, and everyone exerted their special abilities, step by step approaching Zhu Wen's secret.

After some efforts, they finally found evidence that Zhu Wen was the real murderer.

"Now, we just need to find a suitable opportunity to make this evidence public." said the young eunuch.

In a quiet garden in the palace, the queen mother met with a mysterious person in secret. The moonlight shone through the treetops and sprinkled on the two people, adding a bit of mystery.

"Queen Mother, we must act." The mysterious person's voice was low and powerful.

The queen mother nodded, and her eyes flashed with a firm light: "Zhu Wen's ambition is already obvious, and we can't sit idly by."

"I have contacted several capable people who are willing to join our revenge plan." said the mysterious person.

"Very good, we need to use their abilities to find Zhu Wen's weaknesses. "The Queen Mother said.

The mysterious figure took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which were densely written some names and ability descriptions.

"This is our secret alliance list, everyone has unique abilities." said the mysterious figure.

The Queen Mother took the list and read it carefully.

"Fairy King of Grass, Heavenly Doctor Qiu Wancai, Poison King Yao Dahai, Ren Chunying... They are all rare talents." The Queen Mother exclaimed.

"Yes, we need their help to fight against Zhu Wen." said the mysterious figure.

The Queen Mother pondered for a while, then said: "We must act carefully, Zhu Wen has many eyes and ears, and if we are not careful, our plan will be exposed."

"I will make sure everything is done in secret." The mysterious figure promised.

The two continued to discuss the details of the revenge plan, and their conversation was full of tension and suspense.

"What is Zhu Wen's weakness? "The Queen Mother asked.

"As far as I know, Zhu Wen cares a lot about his reputation and status. If we can make some efforts in this regard, we may find a breakthrough." The mysterious figure analyzed.

"Then we should start from here and create some rumors that are unfavorable to him to make him lose his composure." The Queen Mother said.

"At the same time, we have to collect more evidence about his crimes. Once the time is right, we will take him down in one fell swoop." said the mysterious figure.

The two people's plans became more and more detailed. They decided to act separately, each using their own resources and abilities to avenge Zhaozong.

In the depths of the palace, the members of the secret alliance were nervously preparing for the upcoming celebration. However, they did not know that a traitor hidden among them had sold their plan to Zhu Wen.

After Zhu Wen learned the news, a sneer appeared on his lips. He immediately ordered a team of elite black-clad men to act secretly and prepare to catch all the members of the secret alliance in one fell swoop.

Under the cover of night, the black-clad men quietly approached the hiding place of the secret alliance. Their movements were agile and precise, and they were obviously strictly trained killers.

Just as the members of the alliance were still discussing the final details of the action, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night.

"No, someone is coming!" said the fairy King of Grass alertly.

Qiu Wancai immediately took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, ready to deal with possible dangers.

Yao Dahai quickly hid several bottles of poison in his sleeves, ready to use at any time.

Ren Chunying lightly jumped onto the beam, ready to observe the enemy's movements from a high place.
