Chapter 726: Forever guarding the south, crowned a king of different surname! "Insolence!!!"
"You have gone too far!!!"
"Traitors and rebels!!!"
"Every last one of you is a traitor and a rebel!!!"
The emperor's furious roar rang through the entire Golden Throne Hall.
He sprang to his feet and kicked over the imperial desk before him.
"What does Li Xinge think he's doing?"
"He wants a royal title? Will his next demand be the Dragon Throne beneath my backside?!"
"Rebellion! Those rebels in the south have all risen against me!"
A terrifying pressure erupted from the emperor.
The entire Golden Throne Hall shook violently.
Everyone prostrated themselves beneath that pressure, trembling.
"Guards! Drag this madman out! Slice him into a thousand pieces!"
The emperor pointed at Cui Yuanhe and roared hysterically.
Two members of the Dragon Tiger Imperial Guard stationed outside immediately rushed into the hall. They clamped down on Cui Yuanhe's shoulders, one on either side, and began dragging him away.
And yet.
Facing the enraged emperor.
Cui Yuanhe's face showed not the slightest fear.
He held his head high.
He straightened his back.
Beneath the emperor's suffocating pressure,
he looked the emperor straight in the eye.
Suddenly.
He burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha... hahahaha..."
His laughter grated harshly against the deathly silence of the Golden Throne Hall.
"What are you laughing at?"
The emperor grew even angrier.
Cui Yuanhe stopped his wild laughter.
With a mocking expression, he said, "This humble commoner laughs at Your Majesty for still failing to see the great tide sweeping the realm, even now!"
"What am I worth? Nothing but an insignificant member of a collateral branch of the Cui Family. Dying in this Golden Throne Hall, whether sliced into a thousand pieces or torn apart by five horses, is a trifling matter. Mine
