Chapter 283 The main culprit was executed and rewards were given according to merit!
As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, Ye Gucheng was already furious to the extreme!
As the dignified Lord of Baiyun City, when has he ever encountered such humiliation?
Ye Gucheng took a few deep breaths and laughed in anger!
"Alright! Lin Fan, since you say so, then let's have a duel!"
Ye Gucheng said in a deep voice.
At this moment, he was determined and had put life and death aside.
The assassination attempt on the emperor failed, and he was surrounded by so many masters.
He knew that he would definitely die today!
Rather than being sentenced by the court, becoming a prisoner and being executed in the autumn.
It would be better to fight Lin Fan as a swordsman.
Even if I die, I will die with honor!
Everyone present was from the martial arts world, and they understood what Ye Gucheng meant as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but change color.
Once upon a time, Ye Gucheng was considered one of his friends.
He is also a well-known figure in the world.
Unexpectedly, the ending would be like this!
Others also looked at Lin Fan, wondering what Lin Fan would choose.
Lin Fan smiled calmly, "Alright. If you can die by my hand, you won't be considered a disappointment to the Lord of Baiyun City."
"Come on!" As soon as the words fell, Ye Gucheng thrust out a sword!
This sword is about to reach its peak!
It was even faster and sharper than his previous sword!
Ye Gucheng was dressed in white, and his sword flashed like lightning.
With one move, he was like an immortal from heaven.
This is the real fairy from the sky!
Looking at such a stunning sword, everyone couldn't help but admire it.
Lin Fanxue took out his sword and used his supreme sword.
The sixth move of the Six Art of Ao Han, Cold Blade and Ice Heart!
Lin Fan used all his strength this time and had nothing to worry about.
The temperature of the entire room suddenly dropped several degrees.
A layer of frost appeared on the ground, and even the candle flame was frozen in an instant.
Ye Gucheng's sword was only an inch away from his throat.
However, he was completely unable to move.
The extremely cold knife froze his sword.
At some point, a line of blood appeared in Ye Gucheng's throat!
thump!
Ye Gucheng fell to the ground, blood gushing from his neck, making his already pale face even paler.
"Good... good sword skills..."
Ye Gucheng exhaled his last breath, his eyes losing focus.
Ye Gucheng, the top swordsman of his generation and Lord of Baiyun City, died at the hands of Lin Fan!
After a long while, Lu Xiaofeng finally spoke.
"Ye Gucheng, the decision you made is really stupid."
"Whether it's assassinating the emperor or challenging Lin Fan, it's both stupid!"
"However, it was precisely because of his stupid decision that we were able to see Lin Fan take action. It was worth it!"
The knife was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly.
But Lu Xiaofeng knew that he would never forget this move in his life.
Nangong Pushe couldn't help but say, "Lin Fan, your swordsmanship wasn't this sharp before!"
She was glad that she had made the decision.
Following Lin Fan was indeed the right decision!
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to see such amazing swordsmanship.
Lin Fan laughed and said, "Can't I just improve my strength?"
When he said this, everyone else couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He's already this strong, and he still needs to improve his strength?
Are you really not going to let others live?
Lin Fan smiled and said nothing.
The system voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding, the sign-in mission has been triggered. Please go to the duel location to sign in. The sign-in reward is unknown!]
A place for duel?
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.
There is only one place I can think of for a duel now.
The top of the Forbidden City!
But at this time Ye Gucheng was already dead.
Then why is it called the Duel Ground?
Lin Fan was puzzled, but he still decided to go back and take a look.
See what goodies the system will give him!
As soon as Ye Gucheng died, the little emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
The masters from the palace outside rushed in one after another.
The little emperor followed behind, clapping with a smile, "Great! The traitor is dead, but where are his two accomplices?"
Wang An and the fake emperor were tied up and brought in.
The two of them looked pale and dejected, as if they had lost their parents.
Their rebellion failed, and they knew they would not survive.
Now the eyes have lost their luster.
The little emperor looked at the two of them, his teeth itching with hatred, "Wang An!"
"I have always treated you well, why did you do such a disrespectful thing to your father and your king?"
What he couldn't understand the most was this eunuch.
If it were someone else, it would make sense for them to seize power and usurp the throne to become emperor.
Wang An was just a eunuch, so what if he became the emperor?
He has no offspring, so there is no way to talk about building a lasting legacy.
Not to mention the beauties in the harem, who can only be looked at but not eaten.
Wang An had nothing to hide at this point.
"I...I'm a gambler! I owe a lot of money at the gambling house in the east of the city, millions of taels of silver!"
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
This eunuch is too rich.
How could he owe so much gambling debt!
The little emperor's face was as gloomy as water: "That's it?"
"For this matter, you committed the great crime of treason?"
It's normal that he is still young and doesn't understand things like Wang An!
Some people even gambled away everything they had and mortgaged their wives and children.
Lin Fan said calmly, "Did you sell those extra ribbons too?"
There are no more than ten ribbons in total.
By tonight, more than twenty people were wearing them!
The traitor has now been identified.
It’s Wang An!
Wang An nodded: "It's me, but unfortunately, the money for the ribbon is still not enough."
He wanted to beg for mercy, but the little emperor waved his hand calmly, "Forget it, I don't want to hear it!"
He then looked at the fake emperor beside him and asked, "Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?"
The fake emperor spoke listlessly, "I am the Prince of the Southern Kingdom."
The King of the South is the old emperor's younger brother.
When the little emperor heard this, his eyes instantly turned cold, "So it's my uncle!"
"I hereby declare that the Southern King is plotting rebellion and his crime is unforgivable! Immediately send the Southern King to death row. No mistakes!"
"Choose a day... and execute the entire family!"
The Prince of Nan collapsed to the ground.
When he failed, he already knew the consequences.
However, hearing the verdict at this time was still hard for him to bear!
Those who rebelled got what they deserved.
If Ye Gucheng dies, Wang An and the Prince of Nan will also die without a doubt.
It could even be death by slicing.
The little emperor composed himself and looked at Lin Fan with a smile. "This time, it's all thanks to Zhongfu. You have made the greatest contribution this time, protecting the dragon! I wonder what reward you would like?"
He was happy for a moment and called him Zhongfu, and he no longer felt uncomfortable.
Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want anything. I already have everything I need."
His status is already high enough. In the court, he is almost second only to the emperor.
How else can I reward you?
The young emperor thought for a moment and said, "No! Meritorious officials must be rewarded according to their merits."
"What's more, you have done a great deed and saved my life! Go down first and let me think about it."
"Tomorrow morning, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"
After that, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all can go away."
Everyone had different expressions and bowed to the little emperor and left.
