Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Could the third person who invaded King Rui’s purple aura be really the Seventh Prince? But she didn’t find anything unusual.
Or was it that his ambition had yet to be exposed?
The problem was that his body had no purple aura, and he did not have the fate to ascend the throne.
After that, Zhou Ying saw the Seventh Prince leading his men and rushing toward the Imperial Palace.
Zhou Ying followed after him.
Wow, the Marquis of Ding’an’s 3,000 men were stopped by just 100 of the Emperor’s guards.
It could be seen that the Emperor was prepared before he left. Otherwise, his guards wouldn’t have been equipped with so many arrows.
After the rain of arrows stopped, many of the Marquis of Ding’an’s men were injured.
Of course, there were also casualties among the imperial guards, but they were much smaller.
“Marquis of Ding’an, if you stop now, I will let bygones be bygones.”
“So what if you let bygones be bygones? You’ve already taken back the military power of the Southwest! Even if I survive this, it’ll be a fate worse than death!” Ding’an spat hatefully.
He waved his hand and shouted, “Go! Whoever kills the dog emperor will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver.”
As soon as he declared that, someone immediately rushed forward.
Suddenly, five jars flew out of the house and exploded when they landed on the ground. Immediately, a series of miserable cries sounded, and the broken porcelain pieces injured many people.
The survivors also soon fainted in a daze.
When the Marquis of Ding’an saw this, his face darkened. He was furious, but he did not dare to go forward.
Instead, he muttered a few words to the person beside him.
The man turned around and walked away. He commanded a few people to carry oil and cloth and quickly made simple torches.
Just as the Marquis of Ding’an ordered his men to start burning the house, the Seventh Prince rushed over with his men and shouted, “Stop, or you will be killed!”
“Haha, what’s a half-grown child doing here? It’s better for you to go back and drink your mother’s milk!” The Marquis of Ding’an laughed and threw the torch in his hand at the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was furious when he heard that.
Suddenly, the thundering sound of hooves came from behind. More than a thousand people were rushing to them.
King Kang immediately rode his horse and quickly rushed in front of the Marquis of Ding’an. He raised his sword and slashed forward. “Traitor, go to h.e.l.l!”
Marquis Ding’an had come from the battlefield after all, so he quickly turned around and dodged the slash.
He then chopped off the horse’s front hoof with a backhand slash.
The horse let out a miserable cry. King Kang was forced to dismount and roll to the side, shouting, “Seventh, let’s attack together!”
As soon as he shouted this, the men he brought along with the Seventh Prince’s men immediately rushed over.
The two sides were on the verge of clashing with each other.
When the Marquis of Ding’an saw this, he immediately sent out a signal flare.
Soon, Sun Qingfeng led a team of 1,000 imperial guards and rushed over from the encampment. They joined the battle, and the Marquis of Ding’an’s side suddenly had the upper hand.
At the same time, King Hui brought 1,000 men and rushed out of the palace.
They were heading for the Emperor and rushed over quickly.
But after breaking into the safehouse, the one who was apprehended was not the Emperor but King Hui.
King Hui looked at the person behind him with a dumbfounded expression.
The man smiled and said, “I have to thank King Hui for your disguise’s methods.”
“Take him away.” The Emperor stepped forward and stuffed a rag into King Hui’s mouth.
“Yes.” The person responded and immediately took King Hui away, locking him in a bas.e.m.e.nt.
Even now, King Prince, who was arrested, still could not believe he had been stopped before he made a move.
Would there be a lamer usurper in history?
Outside, just as the three sides were fighting, Seventh Su rushed over with his men and shouted, “King Kang, I’ve brought my troops!”
