The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 165 Cloud Feather 24

The palace gates boasted of their tight security, but in reality, their defenses were a tattered and leaky net, seemingly allowing almost anyone to enter.

What's particularly ironic is that Gong Hongyu, the wielder of the palace gates, has a hidden assassin who has been lurking for twenty years by his side—it's a complete joke.

If it weren't for Wu Ji's lack of ambition and loyalty to Wu Feng, ultimately choosing betrayal, given her position and status within the palace, and her collusion with Wu Feng, the palace would probably have been destroyed long ago.

Gong Ziyu thought of all the praises given to the Palace Gate in the martial arts world, such as being a top force in the martial arts world, having a heavily guarded palace gate all year round, having a network of secret passages and mechanisms, and being difficult for outsiders to enter... and so on.

Ha ha!

Honestly, he really wanted to scoff at it a few times.

But the thought that he was now the Palace Gate's Blade Master, and that the Palace Gate was now under his command, made him feel as if he had been hit with a critical strike of ten thousand points.

Gong Ziyu took a deep breath. Since he had already been injured, the others in the Gong family could not stand idly by.

Upholding the noble virtue that sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, Gong Ziyu decisively decided to gather everyone in the palace and make this matter public.

……

Shang Palace.

Gong Zishang was studying the blueprints that Gong Ziyu had given her. Looking at the powerful weapon that combined firearms and gunpowder, her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her excitement and joy were almost overflowing.

It turns out her idea was correct; weapons really can be combined with gunpowder to evolve into another, even more powerful weapon.

She could already imagine the immense impact this weapon of mass destruction would have on the world, and how it might even overturn the current world order.

Thinking and thinking!

Gong Zishang lay on the ground, somewhat defeated.

Why wasn't she the one who developed such an ingenious weapon?

Just then, a guard from the Shang Palace whispered at the door, "Young Miss, the Yu Palace has sent word that Lord Zhi Ren requests your immediate presence at the Zhi Ren Hall, as there is an important announcement to make."

Although the guard's voice was respectful, it sounded like a bolt from the blue to Gong Zishang.

She suddenly jumped up from the ground, opened the door, her face covered with large dark circles under her eyes, and asked the guard with a slightly anxious look, "Do you know what it is?"

The guard shook his head, clearly unaware of the various reasons.

"Besides me, who else did Zhi Ren invite?"

"I heard that Zhi Ren also invited Elders Hua, Xue, and Yue, as well as Young Master Jiao and Young Master Zheng."

Upon hearing this, Gong Zishang couldn't help but gasp, alarm bells ringing in her mind.

Thinking about the three bombshells Gong Ziyu dropped when these people gathered yesterday, and the subsequent developments, her legs suddenly felt weak.

Is today going to be another bombshell?

Thinking of this, Gong Zishang became a little uneasy. She quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and tried to make herself look more energetic.

In the past, she would not have needed to dress up or care about her image in front of Gong Ziyu.

But the situation is different now.

Gong Ziyu is now the wielder of the Gong family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the entire clan. He is no longer the younger brother she used to play around with.

Moreover, it seems that Gong Ziyu's personality underwent a dramatic change starting from the night Lao Zhiren died.

It seemed that overnight, he transformed from a carefree, impulsive, and easily angered playboy into a calm, decisive palace guard.

Even though he had never been involved in palace affairs before, he was able to arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Faced with sudden questioning and challenges, they can calmly and quickly retaliate.

They are both gentle and aloof, polite yet distant, appearing amiable but actually keeping people at arm's length.

Gong Zishang was somewhat disappointed by Gong Ziyu's changes, but thinking about the recent turmoil in Yu Palace, she felt that Gong Ziyu's current transformation was good, at least he could protect himself.

……

Zheng Palace.

Gong Shangjiao is helping Gong Yuanzheng interrogate Manager Jia of the pharmacy.

Gong Yuanzheng is currently investigating the switch of Baicao Cui, and Gong Shangjiao, as the older brother, feels it is necessary to be there and lend a hand to his younger brother.

Of course, this wasn't because he didn't trust Gong Yuanzheng's abilities, but because he thought his younger brother Yuanzheng was simple-minded and was afraid that he would be deceived by people with ulterior motives.

As for his own investigation into Wu Feng's movements, he made proper arrangements.

With constant turmoil within the palace, he was truly reluctant to leave.

At this moment, Gong Shangjiao stood next to Gong Yuanzheng, quietly watching his younger brother intently arranging the bottles and jars on the table, feeling a sense of relief.

Before he could even congratulate himself on how well he had taken care of his younger brother, a guard came in to report: "Young Master Jiao, Young Master Zheng, Lord Zhiren requests that you two come to the Zhiren Hall immediately, as he has an important announcement to make."

……

Inside the Elders' Courtyard, the three elders who received the notification looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what had happened at the palace gates this time.

Filled with doubt and confusion, the three arrived at the Hall of Blade Master.

At this moment, Gong Zishang, Gong Shangjiao, and Gong Yuanzheng had already arrived, while Gong Ziyu sat indifferently in the high seat at the head of the table, with his guard Jin Fan holding the hilt of his sword, vigilantly protecting him from the side.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gong Ziyu didn't waste any words and directly instructed Jin Fan to tell him about how Young Master Yue had rescued Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian.

As Jin Fan finished speaking, a heavy and eerie silence instantly enveloped the hall, the air thick with the oppressive feeling of an impending storm.

Another traitor has emerged from the palace gates!

And he's the Moon Prince from the back mountain?

The crowd, realizing what had happened, all paled.

Gong Shangjiao suddenly raised his head, like an enraged beast, his sinister gaze falling on Elder Yue. He then realized the other party's identity and barely managed to suppress the urge to kill.

But he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, as if trying to transform his anger into power.

There is an irreconcilable hatred between Minggongmen and Wufeng.

Ten years ago, Wu Feng launched a massive attack on the palace gates. How many people died at the palace gates? How much blood was shed? How many innocent clansmen were killed?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their hatred runs deep.

Why would anyone collude with Wufeng under such hostile circumstances?

Gong Huanyu was like that before!

The current Yue Gongzi remains the same!

why?

Gong Shangjiao's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with surging anger and confusion.
