The city was instantly terrified by the flames of war.
He recognized Li Yuanba at a glance.
This guy, with just himself, a horse, and two golden hammers, defeated Yuwen Chengdu and sent him packing.
In Feng Huo Lian Cheng's view, Li Yuanba was a freak, a freak he couldn't afford to mess with.
“Baldy…” Li Yuanba pointed a golden hammer at Feng Huo Lian Cheng, “How did all these people die? Who among them is the imperial physician?”
"I...I don't know either." Feng Huo Lian Cheng's voice trembled, and his teeth chattered as he spoke.
"You're not from this palace?" Li Yuanba threw a golden hammer on the ground.
With a loud thud, the golden hammer was thrown to the ground, creating a huge crater.
Li Yuanba looked at Empress Qian Renxue, somewhat bewildered: "You're the emperor?"
Qian Renxue nodded.
"You look like a girl. How could you be the emperor?"
Lu Fang glanced at Li Yuanba. From the fact that the boy was holding a golden hammer in one hand and carrying Pang Hao in the other, he knew that this seemingly sickly child was actually quite capable.
“Brave warrior, this is indeed our Emperor, without a doubt.” Lü Fang stepped forward.
"Isn't this the emperor in my hand?" Li Yuanba shook Pang Hao in his hand, Pang Hao's whole body ached as if it were about to fall apart.
"It's really strange, how can you have two emperors?"
“My brave man, everything I’m saying is true.”
Li Yuanba ignored the crowd and walked towards Feng Huo Liancheng: "Baldy, who are you calling the emperor?"
Amidst the flames of war, no one knew what Li Yuanba was really up to.
"I don't know either." Feng Huo Lian Cheng's arm is basically useless.
"Old man, you say this girl is the emperor, but I don't think so."
Pang Hao pointed to himself: "I am the emperor. Didn't your lord order you to protect me? You killed that fake emperor."
“Fine…” Li Yuanba threw Pang Hao to the ground. “I’ll kill this fake emperor. When my lord comes, tell him to give me more watermelon to eat.”
"OK……"
Upon hearing this, Lü Fang quickly asked, "This brave man, is your lord Jiang Tian?"
"How did you know?" Li Yuanba scratched his head.
“This is the current emperor. If you kill the current emperor, when Jiang Tian returns, you can expect your lord to deal with you.” Lu Fang pointed at Empress Qian Renxue.
"Nonsense..." Pang Hao immediately understood that Jiang Tian must have sent Li Yuanba to protect the current empress.
If we don't kill the current emperor quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Pang Hao realized that Li Yuanba was somewhat mentally challenged and seemed easy to fool.
“I am the current emperor. Your lord sent you to protect me, so you must obey me. Otherwise, I will deal with you when I see your lord.”
"this……"
Lu Fang quickly said, "Hero, the eunuchs and palace maids here can all testify that this is the current emperor. Think about it, where did you see that beast Pang Hao?"
“Outside the imperial city, he sat in a carriage.”
"Why is Your Majesty outside?" Lü Fang asked again.
“What’s wrong with me taking a stroll outside?” Pang Hao retorted.
"If you listen to me and do as I ask, I can have your lord give you more of the things you like to eat."
“Pang Hao, you old scoundrel, you’re a habitual liar,” Lu Fang continued. “Now that Jiang Tian is here, do you think you can still live?”
Pang Hao had no say in these matters.
Li Yuanba roared, "Shut up! Anyone who speaks will be smashed to death with this hammer!"
Li Yuanba shouted at Feng Huoliancheng, "Summon all the eunuchs and palace maids here."
"What you're saying has confused me."
Despite the excruciating pain, Feng Huo Lian Cheng nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll go get someone right away."
The eunuchs and palace maids outside have been almost all killed.
Feng Huolian ran out, and Pang Hao quickly gave him a wink.
Feng Huo Lian Cheng nodded.
Soon, dozens of eunuchs and palace maids were brought over.
"Listen up, all of you. His Majesty is the only one in our powerful family. Anyone who says anything wrong will be executed immediately."
Feng Huoliancheng's scimitar dripped with blood.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Come on... hurry up, stop dawdling."
"Yes..." The eunuchs and palace maids walked toward the study with their heads down, trembling with fear.
Li Yuanba walked into the study carrying a hammer: "Have the eunuchs and palace maids arrived yet?"
Feng Huo Lian Cheng led his men in.
"Tell me, who is His Majesty now?"
“Brave warrior, the Great Lord Pang is His Majesty the present.” Several eunuchs said in unison.
“Hahaha…” Lu Fang laughed, “The Great Man is the current emperor. You dogs, trying to scare the eunuchs and palace maids, you planned it all, but you didn’t expect that these eunuchs and palace maids would let it slip.”
Li Yuanba had no idea about all this nonsense: "Forget it, my lord will be here soon. None of you should run away. You'll know when he arrives."
"I'm hungry, prepare some food for me." Li Yuanba stretched as he lay on the bed in the Imperial Study.
Upon seeing this, Pang Hao immediately sensed an opportunity. He gave Feng Huo Liancheng a wink, signaling him to kill Empress Qian Renxue.
Feng Huo Liancheng nodded, and walked towards Empress Qian Renxue with his scimitar in hand.
“If you want to kill people, kill my family first.” Lü Fang stood in front of Qian Renxue.
Several of Liu Jin's eunuchs in red robes also stepped forward.
"Ancestor, if anyone is to die, it should be us who die before you."
"Kill me if you must. Don't kill His Majesty, don't kill the Ancestor."
"Yes, kill me if you want. Don't kill our ancestor."
Feng Huo Liancheng roared, "Get out of my way! Don't block my way!"
"Baldy, if you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll smash you to death with this hammer." Li Yuanba's voice came from inside the study once again.
"Both of you emperors, come in. Neither of you should make any rash moves. If either of you does, my two golden hammers will kill him."
Feng Huoliancheng slowly sheathed the sword he had drawn.
Pang Hao whispered to Feng Huo Liancheng, "Use poison... Didn't that idiot want to eat? Poison him."
"Strengthen the city's defenses and don't let Jiang Tian in. In addition to the defense of the capital, there is also the defense of the imperial palace."
"Don't let anyone in."
“Yes…” Feng Huo Lian Cheng quickly replied.
“Our city is high and well-fortified, Jiang Tian may not be able to break in. As long as we hold it, Zhang Xianzhong’s troops will come to the capital.”
“Besides Zhang Xianzhong’s troops, more than a dozen rebel armies will come. The day the army arrives will be the day Jiang Tian dies. He only has more than two thousand men, while I have hundreds of thousands of troops. The advantage is in my hands.”
Pang Hao then added that the advantage lay with him.
"clear……"
