C178

Early in the imperial court, when the officials entered the throne room, they found out that the emperor had passed away. The empress and crown prince had killed their kings and killed their fathers, planning to usurp the throne. This news shocked the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and they couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves. They looked at the empty throne room, looked at the tightly guarded imperial guards, and began to converse in low voices. No one dared to speak loudly.

The cleaning up of the palace had also come to an end. Everything was under control.

The officials were divided into several groups. Their positions were different, and the princes who supported them were also different.

However, they knew very well that what they said didn't count for anything. If there wasn't any military power, then everything would be for naught. Which prince would be able to ascend to the throne, and even look at the attitude of a commander of the imperial guards. Of course, right now, King Jingyuan's thoughts were the most important.

Tie Gang Ying was at a loss. He did not know what would happen next, much less what to do next.

Last night, he had stood on the side of the empress and the crown prince, expressing absolute loyalty and obedience. It was precisely because of this that the empress and the crown prince had decided to hold a regicide plot against the crown prince. The other leaders of the imperial guards were all standing next to different princes. This was nothing, because the four princes that led their troops into the Forbidden Palace didn't commit any great crimes. Two of them died, and one was seriously injured while the other one was also heavily injured.

He was different. From a certain point of view, he was someone who had followed the empress and His Highness the crown prince in the murder of their king. His crimes were unforgivable!

This was the order of the marshal. He had carried it out very thoroughly. He had carried out every order given by the marshal in the past few days without any hesitation.

Now …

He didn't dare to think any further. He was once the emperor's trusted aide. Although he was one of the commanders of the 12 Royal Guards, he had always disobeyed the orders of the handsome lord and set up obstacles in his path. In all these years, the handsome man had been offended quite a bit. It was only because he had the support of the emperor behind his back that the handsome man did not touch him and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Even though he had knelt down in front of the handsome lord and vowed to swear his loyalty and swear his loyalty to him, he would definitely carry out his master's orders. However, would the handsome lord let him go?

Sworn allegiance...

With bitterness in his heart, Tie Gang Ying raised his head and looked at the gradually brightening sky. He was afraid that only by dying could he fulfill this oath.

The great crime of murdering a king and conspiring to rebel was to eliminate nine races!

He looked at the road, hoping to see the handsome man. He bitterly begged the handsome man for mercy, begging for mercy, and sparing his wife and children.

As long as he could save his wife and children, his life …

He heaved a long sigh. There was still no news, so he was ordered to guard the former empress and crown prince who were captured. He had to ensure that not only these people were still alive, but that not a single one of them would escape. He wasn't an idiot. The handsome lord had ordered him to follow the empress and crown prince because he wanted to cut off his retreat!

If he did not carry out the order, the Royal Guards that he and his men led would at most cause some trouble for King Jingyuan and Yonglang, and in the end, he would die. Carrying out the orders, he could not see himself, but he had a chance of surviving. This was a heavy crime of murdering a king and conspiring to rebel!

Tie Gangying clenched his fists as he raised his head to look into the distance. His wife and young son were still dreaming.

"Commander, the handsome lord is coming this way."

"Where?"

The subordinate raised his hand, "The handsome master is walking over from that side. This subordinate saw you from afar and hurriedly came back to report."

He hastily lifted his foot to welcome them, and indeed, he saw Yun Fei Feng quickly walking over with his personal guards.

"Handsome master."

Tie Gang Ying quickly knelt on one knee and greeted respectfully with a bow. He was wearing a military uniform and did not need to kneel. He only needed to bow in salute. Normally, when faced with a handsome lord, he would never kneel down if he could, and for this reason, he always wore a military uniform. But now it was different. How could he dare to be impolite? He bowed deeply and lowered his head.

"No."

"Thank you, handsome master."

He followed behind Yun Fei who was two steps behind, and accompanied him to the place where the traitors were being held. Those people were all tied up very firmly, and their mouths were covered with cloth, their bodies long since been found. Some soldiers were thrown into the yard, while the empress and the others were locked in their rooms, guarded by people who didn't move an inch.

"Hand your men over to Yun Ming."

"As you command."

Tie Gang Ying immediately answered and did not dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect. He then reacted, "What do you mean by 'his'?"

Although he was the commander of the imperial guards, the commander was the commander, and they were all under his command. What did the handsome lord mean by that?

He stole a glance at the Cloud Peak, the handsome man was cold and stern, his whole body was dignified and full of killing intent. He hastily lowered his head and took a few steps back, wanting to explain himself, but at this moment, he did not dare to say anything. He brought Yun Ming down, handing over all his subordinates to Yun Ming, and ordered these people to obey Yun Ming's orders and kill those who disobeyed.

The imperial guards were known for their strict discipline. These people saw with their own eyes that their commander, Yun Fei, would not disobey orders and leave with Yun Ming.

Tie Gangying asked Yun Ming in a low voice, "Do you have any other orders for me, Lord Commander?"

Yun Ming smiled slightly, "I have been ordered to take these people away. As for other matters, Commander Tie, I would like to ask the handsome lord."

He didn't even have a subordinate, how could he be considered a commander?

The only thing he could do was to turn around and see Yun Fei. His heart was very heavy, and he didn't know how the handsome lord was going to deal with him.

Yun Fei leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, but he was still thinking about many things. This time, he used King Jingyuan as his master, and he absolutely followed King Jingyuan's orders to show his submission and to let King Jingyuan know that he was not the slightest bit ambitious. However, he had always been one of the emperor's trusted aides. He was a sharp knife that the emperor had used to deal with King Jingyuan. For many years, there had been enmity between the Marquis and King Jingyuan. Although this enmity did not truly use force and force, and because King Jingyuan was stationed at the north, he had always maintained an attitude. However, they did not know what King Jingyuan was thinking.

If Yun Zihuang had betrothed him to King Jingyuan, that would still be fine. But now …

He pinched the center of his brows. After all, he had suffered a severe head injury. Although he had fully recovered, he would still feel dizzy if he put too much thought into it.

"Handsome Master, Tie Gangying requests an audience."

Those guarding the area had all been replaced by personal guards. Yun Zhao stood in the hallway outside the door and flicked a glance at him, not stopping him from walking over.

Tie Gang Ying stood at the door, bowed his head and said in a low voice.

"Enter."

Yun Fei did not open his eyes, he only said one word.

"Greetings, handsome master."

Tie Gangying walked in quickly and took two steps forward. He knelt on one knee and lowered his head as he spoke respectfully.

"Speak."

It was just one word, exactly. The pressure it brought to Tie Gang Ying was immense. His heart trembled as he thought about what he had to say for a long time. He did not know how to say it.

Finally, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply. He said in a low voice, "This general is awaiting your punishment, Commander."
