Chapter 564: Empress: That’s all?

The fact that there was a person named 'Ouyang' in Jiangling City was known to all the citizens in the city, as well as the merchants and people from the underworld who came and went from Jiangling City.

In Jiangling City, it has always been the case that others should kneel to Ouyang, but there is no reason for Ouyang to kneel to others.

But now

Not only did the head of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Wenyou, kneel down, but even the old man Ouyang knelt down.

Not to mention the other family heads and the old men in their respective families.

And there seems to be something wrong with that old man from the Ning family?

curious

Moreover, how could this not surprise the people watching around, and even more so, how could they not be curious about who this distinguished guest was who came to attend Old Master Ouyang's birthday celebration.

The common people stretched their necks curiously to look at the gradually approaching carriage, and also at the guards around it who looked very majestic. This person must be a prince.

Could it be that the Eleventh Prince, Prince An, has arrived?

But the last time Prince An came, there wasn’t such a grand ceremony.

The carriage stopped two meters away from Master Ouyang Huai and his group.

The carriage stopped.

Wow!

The fire-seekers on both sides straightened their backs in unison.

Master Ouyang Huai and others were kneeling on the ground. Some of the family heads had beads of sweat on their foreheads. They wanted to speak, but Xiao Xu had warned them before that they should shut up until the emperor spoke.

So at that moment everyone just dared to kneel.

However, some ordinary people saw that these family heads who were usually high and mighty seemed to be very scared, and some of them were trembling?

These family heads could not care about anything else at the moment, let alone things like face.

There is absolutely no need to say more about how that incident turned out.

It is obvious that the emperor won after mobilizing troops from the southern border, and he won completely!

Can.

When was the transfer?

Many things in the south were under their control, so how could they be moved without any warning?

The most important thing is that they had considered all the arrangements and even sent people to investigate in person in many places just in case.

But why is it still like this?

have no idea.

I have no idea how I lost.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Nothing matters anymore.

The most important thing right now is to save your life!

But how can I keep it?

Some of the family heads were trembling and sweating profusely.

"Did someone attack the old man of the Ning family?" Inside the carriage, Xia Fengxiang gently lifted the curtain.

After hearing the empress's words, the family heads lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Instead, Xiao Xu immediately clasped his fists and bowed towards the carriage: "Master Ning smashed the cup in front of one of my subordinates, so I took action, and I am willing to be punished!"

Xia Fengxiang asked: "Are you injured?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood. He turned around and looked at his subordinate, motioning him to come over.

The fire soldier was stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment. Xiao Xu glared at him, then immediately pulled him back and kicked his leg. Then he turned around and clasped his hands together again: "It's not a serious injury, just a minor injury. After all, he was just hit by the cup."

After hearing Xiao Xu's words, the fire-seeking soldier finally reacted. He immediately pretended to be lame and saluted respectfully with his fists clasped.

"I see."

As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang opened the car curtain and was about to walk out from behind it.

The people, who were already curious about who the newcomer was, naturally all looked over.

But this is just looking at the past

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a dragon head, so majestic!

Especially the dragon head staring at the surroundings with angry eyes, looking ferocious and terrifying, and the people all felt a sudden shudder in their hearts.

Afterwards, everyone saw the being that was riding the dragon head, or rather, the golden dragon itself.

A beautiful woman wearing a golden robe embroidered with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon came out. The woman had a cold look on her face. She stood on the top of the carriage and looked down at Master Ouyang Huai and others who were high and mighty in Jiangling City.

"Kill him."

Then, the woman wearing the golden dragon Dagon spoke.

These light words stunned all the people around.

Killed?

Kill whom.

All the family heads below, especially the old man of the Ning family and the head of the Ning family, were also stunned and did not react for a while.

But we are all smart people, and the words are so straightforward, so we understood it immediately.

The old man of the Ning family was stunned and immediately looked up at Xia Fengxiang on the carriage.

But when he looked up, Xiao Xu on the side had already drawn his sword.

The knife falls with a sudden movement!

Before Old Master Ning could say anything, the head had already rolled to the side of Master Ouyang Huai and the old man Gan Wen of the Gan family.

And the body of Old Master Ning also fell to the ground.

At the same time, Xiao Xu smiled and moved the blade in his hand between his elbows to wipe the blood off the knife.

Quiet~~~

The whole surroundings became completely quiet!

Originally, the people were still whispering and discussing who this person was.

But this time.

Everyone fell silent, looking at the corpse and the head on the ground with surprised expressions and blinking.

"ah!!"

A woman screamed.

But his mouth was immediately covered by the person next to him.

Then they all looked at the corpse on the ground with horror, and even more at the person on the carriage.

Golden Dragon

The common people don't understand things like court robes.

But they knew that in this hot summer, only one person could wear clothes embroidered with golden dragon patterns.

The people didn't even dare to breathe.

He just looked at the woman and saw that she had no reaction at all. After all, it was too unbelievable and she was completely frightened.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life! I, I know my crime!"

At this time, two family heads could no longer bear it and kept kowtowing to Xia Fengxiang, begging for mercy.

When I heard the word Your Majesty.

Some people among the people knelt down subconsciously.

Son of Heaven

It suddenly dawned on him, who could make Master Ouyang Huai kneel down to greet him? Only the Emperor!

One by one, the common people knelt down before Xia Fengxiang, not daring to raise their heads. Their faces were filled with fear that the emperor had come to Jiangling City and had directly killed the old man from the Ning family.

Although they didn't know what was going on, they didn't dare to say anything.

The other family heads were also looking at the body of the old man of the Ning family on the ground with surprise on their faces, and there was more fear in their eyes. Although they were powerful people in the past, who would not be afraid when facing death?

They swallowed their saliva and looked at the woman on the carriage with fear on their faces.

From the moment those heads appeared, they actually knew that their lives no longer belonged to them.

Because I lost.

If they fail in what they are doing, they will end up dead.

Can.

Who wants to die? So I kept thinking about how to survive and looked at the woman in fear.

Some of the old men and family heads looked at the indifferent girl on the carriage and felt unfamiliar, because she was completely different from the helpless and terrified girl sitting on the dragon throne three years ago.

Especially when they saw the girl's gaze, they didn't know why, but they always felt as if they saw the late emperor, the man who made them feel like they were being glared at by a dragon just by looking at them.

at the moment

The girl looked at them and made them feel again.

Especially Gan Wen, because he was the most unpopular person back then, but he was able to survive thanks to Master Ouyang Huai.

At that moment, Gan Wen looked down at the head on the ground, and thought of the cold eyes of the empress on the chariot. He recalled the scene when the previous emperor killed the noble families. In the Gan family, only his lineage was left.

On the carriage, Shentu Kuyue looked back at Xia Fengxiang who was standing there, was silent for a moment, and then felt that it was her chance to show herself!

While thinking this, Shentu Kuyue blinked, went up the stairs happily, and stood on a step below Xia Fengxiang. She reached for the small dagger on her waist, looking like a royal guard.

only

This is a bit funny.

After all, Shentu Kuyue looks like a little girl, and compared with Suanni and Jiaotu next to her, she looks nothing like her.

But Shentu Kuyue held her head high and chest out, looking small and arrogant.

But if they really fight, the four or so brave guards combined may not be able to capture Shentu Kuyue.

Su Changan smiled when he saw Shentu Kuyue in the carriage, but didn't say much. He looked back at the small fried cake shop on the street.

Um.

I'm hungry.

While drooling, Su Changan noticed that Shentu Kuyue was stealing glances over there from time to time, and he smiled in his heart.

Xia Fengxiang looked down at Shentu Kuyue, but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the people around him and said, "Everyone, get up."

Upon hearing this, Ba Xia immediately conveyed the emperor's will to the people in a loud voice.

But people, look at each other, and let's see who dares to stand up first. After Ba Xia signaled to the generals around him, the generals walked over and conveyed the emperor's will again.

Some people finally understood and stood up cautiously.

However, there were also scholars among the people, and they immediately thanked His Majesty loudly.

Upon hearing this, the people who had originally stood up immediately knelt down again and shouted the same thing.

Xia Fengxiang smiled at the people who stood up, but didn't say anything else.

Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Master Ouyang Huai: "Master Huai, the Queen and I are still alive. I am sorry to disappoint you."

Hearing this, Master Ouyang Huai raised his eyes and looked at Xia Fengxiang.

Just looking up, Master Ouyang Huai was stunned for a moment, because they were too similar. When he left the capital three years ago, he didn't feel

But looking back now, he looks so much like the late emperor.

But it was much weaker than the murderous aura of the previous emperor, or it could be said that it was hidden rather than faded.

It's been three years since we last met. Now, the way it was three years ago may not be the real thing. The real thing is now.

Thinking of this, Master Ouyang Huai knelt on the ground, put his forehead to the ground, saluted towards Xia Fengxiang and said: "I have not seen your majesty for more than three years."

Xia Fengxiang said, "That's all you're telling me?"

As soon as these words came out, Master Ouyang Huai said, "I am very pleased to see that you have grown up."

Xia Fengxiang continued to ask: "Is that all?"

When Master Ouyang Huai heard this, he fell silent again, but finally smiled: "Your Majesty, do you want me to plead guilty?"

Xia Fengxiang said: "It doesn't matter."

Master Ouyang Huai looked at Xia Fengxiang and understood what was going on. He picked up the crutch on the ground, pulled one end of it away, and then gently tilted it over, and a piece of paper appeared.

Xia Fengxiang looked at the paper and glanced at Lian Wei.

Lian Wei walked forward, took the note from Master Ouyang Huai, then turned around and was about to give it to Xia Fengxiang.

But at this time.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted.

The originally silent people looked towards the car curtain.

Afterwards

I saw a woman with silver hair.

The evening wind blew at this time.
