Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 113: Rebel

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The sacrificial ceremony went on as usual. As Ke Ruan guessed, he couldn’t participate at all. He could only stay in the East Palace and couldn’t go anywhere.

What’s more, because of the sacrificial ceremony, the guards of the East Palace have increased several times.

The Imperial Mausoleum’s sacrificial ceremony was a major event in the entire Red Flame Country, so Ke Zhan would not let anyone know about it that he didn’t bring his useless son.

The Imperial Mausoleum lay on the highest position of Red Flame Country, a place with great spirits and perfect position, with green mountains encircling, making beautiful country scenery.

The Emperor’s travel to the ceremony was an annual national event. The guard army stretched for dozens of miles and the scene was spectacular.

Ruan Qingtian followed Ke Zhan, laden with anxiety, and her beautiful eyes full of worry, which made Ke Zhan’s heart melt.

He held his wife’s hand. “We’ll be back soon, don’t worry.”

Ruan Qingtian nodded in a daze.

A group of people walked into the Imperial Mausoleum, and Lei Zhen winked at the person beside him. It was a imperial place who not everyone could get into.

The guards had to stay outside and only the emperor and the ministers could enter.

More than a hundred monks stood beside Ke Zhan.

Suddenly, the sound of drums was heard, followed by the sound of killing from outside the hall.

Ke Zhan’s expression changed instantly. “What happened?”

“There are assassins. Protect His Majesty.”

In an instant, the sound of killing was getting closer and closer. A monk immediately ran to the door and slammed against the wall. A few stone slabs fell from above, blocking the door tightly.

The ministers all became nervous.

Lei Zhen stood up and stared coldly at Ke Zhan.

The ministers who had followed him also stood up.

General Long stood up and stood in front of Ke Zhan and Ruan Qingtian. “Lei Zhen, what do you want to do?”

It was an action with evil intent.

“What am I doing? You still don’t know, you old bastard? “Lei Zhen sneered.

“Emperor, you’ve been sitting in that position for enough time. It’s time to give it to someone else.”

Ke Zhan’s eyes were cold, as if he already knew about it. “Prime Minister, you’re already at the top in the court. What else are you not satisfied with?”

“Top in the court?” Lei Zhen suddenly laughed. His murky voice was particularly scary in this environment.

General Long gripped the sword in his hand. “Silly minister, with me here, you can’t succeed.”

“Old bastard, it’s not up to you,” Lei Zhen laughed coldly.

The monks who had been waiting quietly suddenly tore off their clothes, revealing the black outfits.

Lei Zhen’s smile became bigger and bigger. “Do you know how long I have waited and prepared for today? You really thought I had no backup.”

Only a few monks surrounded and protected Ke Zhan and Ruan Qingtian.

“Surrender, I can let you live.” Lei Zhen’s murky eyes flashed.

General Long snorted in disgust, “Silly minister, you won’t die easily.”

Lei Zhen didn’t care at all about Long’s words. He said every single word clearly, “Because of the sacrificial ceremony, the Emperor encountered an assassin and died in the Imperial Mausoleum. The whole country mourns.”

General Long gripped onto the sword in his hand and glanced at Lei Zhen’s group with murderous eyes. “You people actually dare to rebel. You all are going to die.”

The officials behind Lei Zhen trembled and lowered their heads.

“We all swear to protect His Majesty.”

“I will protect His Majesty with my life.”

……

Many loyal ministers surrounded Ke Zhan with their old bodies. Even if they might die, they wouldn’t let this villain succeed.

“You’re still stubborn. Now that you have no way out, what are you still struggling for?”

Lei Zhen ordered, “Kill them all.”

“Yes!”

“I will protect His Majesty with my life.”
