"Your majesty, enter the sleeping quarters!" Wei Shuge hurriedly retreated Zhao Jing into the sleeping quarters, leaving the guards outside to fight against the rebel army with their lives on the line.
Zhao Yuannan quickly pushed the soft couch, the tables and chairs, and blocked the door. He panted as he stood at the door. Then he started to pace back and forth in the hall, "What should I do? Since Qi Rufeng had rebelled, he must have received the intentions of the Imperial Tutor. It was likely that there was an ambush outside, and we couldn't get out! This time, I'm afraid we really have to die! "
"If you were ordered by Qi Yunshan, you wouldn't be in this situation right now. Do you think you still have a chance to breathe?" Zhao Jing's eyes darkened. "Qi Yunshan might not even dare to make a move!"
Wei Shuge frowned. "Could it be that it wasn't Qi Yunshan's intention?"
"Qi Yunshan is a schemer, now is not the right time, he won't be so stupid as to make a move now!" Zhao Jing gently pinched his aching right arm.
Just now, the outside world had been in chaos, and there would inevitably be some collisions. Although her arms had recovered well, they were not completely healed in the end. As she pushed and pulled, the dull pain was unbearable!
Zhao Yuannan frowned. "You have news about the Regent and the Emperor?"
Zhao Jing's heart was in turmoil when he heard those words. He maintained his indifferent expression as he asked, "What do you think?"
"Where are the Emperor and the Regent now?" Zhao Yuannan hurriedly asked, "With such a situation in the palace, we must not let His Majesty return. What should we do if something happens to the emperor?" It's fine if we all die, but no one will care about it, but the emperor can't! "That is the only hope of our Zhao Family, the master of the Grand Xia. If we can't even protect the Emperor, then the Grand Xia …"
Zhao Yuannan tensed up and tightened his grip on the whisk in his hand, "Da Xia is no longer the world of the Zhao Family."
Zhao Jing chuckled with disdain, "You're still thinking about this country at this time?" But don't worry, both the emperor and the regent are fine, and … Qi Rufeng cannot win! "
"How do you know?" They were already outside the door, but they still couldn't win? Zhao Yuannan did not believe him. "Even though you are a member of the Regent's Estate, it is precisely because of this that you will die faster than us if you were to fall into Qi Rufeng's hands!"
"The Prime Minister's manor is on fire. Do you know what this means?" Zhao Jing asked.
Zhao Yuannan frowned.
"Not long ago, Prime Minister Cobb was assassinated. The Xiang Residence was on fire. The flames soared into the sky! " Zhao Jing rubbed his aching arm. "The Regent didn't make a move, so how come something happened to the General's Estate?"
Wei Shuge pondered, "Could there be a third party?"
"Regardless of whether it is a third party power or someone with ulterior motives, it is sufficient to say that Qi Rufeng cannot succeed! Some people do not think highly of him, but he does not know it yet, and is still acting so arrogantly here. " Zhao Jing coldly snorted, his eyes filled with ruthlessness. "You're right. The sins of heaven can be forgiven, but the sins of one's own must not be lived!"
"Why do you sound so much like the Emperor to me?" Zhao Yuannan was suspicious.
Zhao Jing pursed his lips, his expression cold and evil. "Since he's a substitute that the Regent has hired, he'll naturally have to act the same as the Emperor!"
The sound of a heavy door slamming against something came from outside the hall. Bang, bang … When the third sound was heard, the door of the hall was broken. Qi Rufeng appeared at the door with an evil and fiendish expression, his entire body stained with blood.
"If there's a road to the Fallen Sun Mountain Pass and you refuse to take it, then you must take the Road to River Styx!" Zhao Jing looked at him coldly. "Then I won't be able to keep you!" Someone come! "
"Take down the traitor!"
In that instant, Qi Rufeng's eyes widened in shock. "How …"
It was like an inescapable net, with black figures constantly descending from the sky like fleas.
In an instant, a cold light flashed, the blade on the sword touched his neck, and blood stained the palace wall.
The people Qi Rufeng brought with him never expected to see a group of warriors fall into a pool of blood before they could even regain their senses. Not only that, a deafening sound of fighting also came from outside the palace walls, as if …
"Impossible!" Qi Rufeng charged upwards with his sword at the ready.
As matters stood, he already had no way out, so … Thus, he could only rush upwards. If he won, that would be his last chance at survival. Otherwise, there would only be death, and no one could save him!
Conspiracy, regicide, no matter which one of these were the death sentences of the nine families!
Wei Shuge pushed Zhao Jing towards Zhao Yuannan and shouted, "Protect the Emperor!"
The instant his voice fell, he flew up into the air, his swift and fierce palm brought with it a ruthless intent of killing. Wei Shuge moved quickly. Her feet moved like the wind and her body moved as fast as lightning. With the speed of teleportation, he was already right in front of Qi Rufeng.
Qi Rufeng widened his eyes in fear as his body was sent flying by the powerful force.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Shuge had safely landed back beside Zhao Jing. "Your Majesty, don't be afraid!" Now that she was alone and only Zhao Jing was left without repayment, she naturally went all out.
Zhao Yuannan's eyes widened. "Shuge, your martial arts …"
"Wuer, it's just a small trick!" Wei Shuge looked Zhao Jing up and down. "Are you alright?"
Zhao Jing shook his head. "I'm fine!"
"Don't worry about him. The Residence of Regent has already made arrangements for him to not say anything earlier, causing us to worry for nothing for so long!" Zhao Yuannan snorted twice, "If His Majesty comes back someday, we definitely can't spare him!"
Zhao Jing said nothing. Instead, he flicked his sleeves and walked to the door.
Seeing this, Wei Shuge hurriedly followed, but was pulled back by Zhao Yuannan, "Why are you so nervous? After all, he's not one of us. If you expose yourself in front of him, Dongfang probably won't let you off in the future!"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Wei Shuge took a deep breath. "Your majesty, what should we do now?"
Zhao Jing looked outside at the gradually subsiding battle situation. "Qi Rufeng, are you still not going to admit defeat?"
After being hit by Wei Shuge's palm, Qi Rufeng immediately vomited blood. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall and standing up. The swaying palace lamp gave off a faint yellow glow. When it hit Qi Rufeng's face, it made his face appear even more pale than paper. Qi Rufeng's body swayed slightly as he looked around, the blood-stained sword still in his hand. "You guys have already made arrangements?" Regent's Manor! "
"That's right!" Zhao Jing looked at him coldly. "Do you think you're the only one who is extremely smart? The others are all idiots?" Qi Rufeng, don't you think it's strange? Since the Supreme Fu Mansion has decided to make a move, why are you the only one to appear here? Where's your Supreme Fu Mansion? Where's your backup? "
"What do you mean?" Qi Rufeng clutched his aching chest.
Wei Shuge naturally knew the extent of the strength behind her palm. Qi Rufeng would not be able to muster any inner strength at the moment; otherwise, how could she dare to allow Zhao Jing to appear in front of Qi Rufeng?
"You are already an abandoned child, yet you are still fighting a beast here. Speak … Are you stupid? " Zhao Jing sneered. "Qi Rufeng, your father gave up on you a long time ago. Even Prime Minister Ke Boyu knew that you were useless. This matter cannot be accomplished, so …" This is where the fire of the Prime Minister's Estate comes in. "
Qi Rufeng panicked. "You lied to me!" However, he was already at the end of his tether. So what if he rushed forward?
A large number of imperial guards came one after another, rushing into the palace.
The head of the imperial guards, Li Yiheng, immediately knelt down and paid his respects. "Your Majesty, all the rebels have been captured. Those who give up their weapons and surrender, all control over them, please release them, your majesty! "
"Your majesty?" Qi Rufeng sneered and looked at the imperial guards who had surrounded him to the point where even water could not trickle down, "Lord Li wouldn't really believe that the person before you is the real emperor, right? This is just a puppet with a mask! However, I have already brought the real Emperor back. If you all still believe in this person, then it's no different from me. You all deserve the same punishment! "
"Qi Rufeng!" Zhao Jing coldly replied, "You brought a fake back. Who do you think will believe you?"
As he spoke, Zhao Yuannan grabbed the trembling young man and kicked him to the ground. "Is this the true emperor that Lord Qi spoke of?" In front of everyone, Zhao Yuannan personally tore off the skin of the young man.
A young and unfamiliar face appeared clearly in front of everyone.
Li Jun held the cold sword in her hand. "If you pretend to be an emperor, you should be executed at the end of the day!"
Zhao Jing flicked his sleeves. "Keep him alive!" She looked coldly at Qi Rufeng, "This is all evidence! If the witness and evidence are here, let's see how he will deny it! "
"You are a fake too!" Qi Rufeng gritted his teeth.
Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back. "Qi Rufeng, why are you so stupid?" She looked around, "Open your eyes and look, if I were a fake emperor, how could I command the imperial guards? How could he control such a big situation? Is the news that the Prime Minister's residence has received that the Regent and I are hiding outside the city? You think you're smart enough to set up an ambush on the streets of the capital, that you can block us and the Regent with a volley of arrows.
"But why don't you think that if you want to usurp the throne, you should stay in the palace? In a war of war, the most taboo was being split up into plum blossoms. Now that you have dispersed your main force, it is as if you have given us and the Regent an opportunity to destroy your plans one by one! "
Qi Rufeng froze on the spot. "You …" "Are you really Zhao Jing?"
"How dare you!" Wei Shuge shouted, "You dare to directly say the emperor's name!"
The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. Qi Rufeng finally realized that he had fallen into a trap! From the start, he didn't have any way to survive. From the very beginning, he was only a chess piece for his father, and then … He had fallen into Zhao Jing's and Dongfang Wenming's trap.
A twelve to thirteen year old young Emperor was actually able to remain so calm and collected when faced with an official's rebellion. Such spirit was truly the aura of an emperor!
However, Qi Rufeng sneered, "Don't be complacent, this is not the end. This is just the beginning!" My father still has important evidence in his possession, and Dongfang does not know that he dares not! "
"Your majesty, the traitor has been captured!"
"Chase after him when he wins!" Zhao Jing narrowed his dangerous eyes. "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single person off the hook!"
"Yes sir!" With that, Lee quickly led his men away.
Only then did Zhao Yuannan come back to his senses. "Are you for real?" "Your majesty?"
"Otherwise?" Zhao Jing frowned slightly. "You've followed me for so long, but I can't even recognize you. Big brother Nan, you've truly disappointed me!" As the sound of his voice faded, Zhao Jing returned to his bedroom.
"Just now, there was a sound from inside the hall, and I knew that something had happened inside." Wei Shuge helped Zhao Jing to slowly sit down. "From then on, I felt that the emperor's gaze was different. He even came back with the style of handling matters. I knew that this plan to steal a dragon and turn a phoenix must have come to an end!"
Zhao Jing nodded. "I was sent back that time."
"And the Regent?" Zhao Yuannan quickly asked, "You said just now that there was an ambush on the street..."
Zhao Jing coldly said, "Qi Rufeng's men are all brainless trash!" Just him wanting to covet my mountains and rivers is simply courting death! "
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. Zhao Yuannan's face suddenly changed, "What?"
