Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Your entire family will definitely be exterminated. As for the others, as long as they make amends now, I will not make things difficult for them.” The Emperor looked at the Empress coldly.
“You...” When the Empress heard this, she picked up a brick from the side and was about to throw it at the Emperor.
However, just as she raised the brick, a soldier grabbed her arm and knocked her unconscious.
Of course, some of them were loyal to the Empress, so the city wall descended into chaos.
Seeing this, King Rui walked to the palace gate and shouted, “Those inside, listen up. If you open the palace gates now, I’ll forgive you! If you wait for our 30,000 soldiers to charge in, you won’t be able to retreat.”
“Open the palace gates!” Yan Zhiwu raised his hand and shouted.
The soldiers behind him immediately echoed loudly, “Open the palace gates, open the palace gates, open the palace gates...” Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Then, the more they shouted, the louder they became. In the end, the shouts were uniform, and the entire capital heard them clearly.
When the gatekeeper heard this, he did not dare to delay and immediately opened the palace gates.
When King Rui saw this, he directly rushed in with his men and watched over all the people guarding the gates.
The soldiers holding shields behind them immediately set up a shield wall.
The arrows were deflected again, but the Emperor’s face was still scratched. The arrows might be poisoned, and it was lucky that the imperial physician had reacted quickly and dealt with it.
The Emperor was furious when he saw this and immediately shouted, “Rui, Xiao Heng, you two must capture these people for me!”
“Yes.” After the two of them responded, they left behind the people who were protecting the Emperor. They used their shields to lead the way, with the others following suit and quickly moving closer to the court.
At the same time, Yan Zhiwu commanded the soldiers to surround them from both sides, blocking everyone’s escape route.
The assassins who released the arrows were obviously determined to die. After releasing all the arrows, they rushed out with swords.
Of course, they were quickly eliminated.
When Xiao Heng led his men into the Imperial Court, he was shocked.
All the officials were inside, and everyone else was tied up and thrown to the ground with their mouths gagged, except for Prime Minister Su and his son.
The worst thing was that the ground was covered in oil, and Prime Minister Su was holding a torch in his hand.
Seeing them enter, Prime Minister Su smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to come so quickly, just in time for the Emperor to write an abdication edict to King Kang.
“Otherwise, I guess all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty will be going to the underworld with us today..”
