"Chen Kang, you idiot, are you dead?"
These traitors dared to trespass into the imperial city! I'll capture them all!
Just as Chen Kang was stunned, a voice resounded through the sky.
Accompanying this was a soaring, blood-red killing intent.
Above the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Wang Defa, the commander of the Heavenly Dragon Guard, gripped his spear and charged towards the golden carriage that had just passed through the palace gate.
As the commander of the Heavenly Dragon Guard, he has only one duty: to guard the palace.
Even if the one who stormed the palace was the sharp-tongued King of Tianbei.
This shot was like a thunderbolt streaking across the sky.
But before this lightning-fast strike could even land, it was intercepted by a leaping figure.
The person who made the move was still wearing full armor.
Only a pair of eyes were exposed.
He held the long sword and casually swung it.
The lightning-fast gunshot was instantly shattered.
Without uttering a word, he gently raised his long sword and pointed it at Wang Defa.
Such a flippant gesture clearly showed that he didn't take Wang Defa seriously.
Above the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Wang Defa, holding a spear, had a solemn expression.
When did we reach the point where there are so many perfect ten-grade Dharma images?
The aura we sensed earlier was one thing, but now another person has appeared.
For a moment, Wang Defa even doubted whether what he was seeing was a dream.
But whether it was a dream or not, he never forgot his duty.
"Heavenly Dragon Guards, follow me to slay the enemy!"
After Wang Defa finished speaking, the Tianlong Guards stationed in various places all felt their blood and qi surge.
But before these Heavenly Dragon Guards could connect their blood and qi, their connection was disrupted.
At the same time, the man who had blocked Wang Defa's shot also charged at him with a knife.
The moment the two perfected tenth-grade Dharma Images clashed, ripples spread outwards.
......
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was deathly silent.
As seasoned officials, everyone present naturally knew what the commotion outside meant.
Those who dare to storm the palace gates dare to seize power.
This happened four years ago, and it was similar in nature to this one.
They didn't make a statement four years ago, so naturally they won't make a statement today either.
After all, whoever sits on the throne, they are the ones who need to handle things.
Jiang Lan did not steal the spotlight; she simply stood quietly at the bottom, watching Shangguan Rou.
She knew very well what Shangguan Rou would face next.
To become the ultimate victor, she must adapt to the current situation.
"Gentlemen, what is the punishment for those who trespass into the palace without permission?"
Shangguan Rou looked around, her gentle gaze turning icy.
Before the assembled civil and military officials of the Great Zhou could react, one of them stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Empress, according to the law, he should be executed!"
The speaker was none other than Nangong Zhenxiang, the Minister of Justice.
"Proceed according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Yes, sir!"
As Nangong Zhenxiang left the Taihe Hall, Shangguan Rou looked elsewhere and said, "Prefect, you should also go out with Nangong Zhenxiang."
Any member of the royal family involved in this matter would have their name crossed out of the royal family genealogy.
"Your Majesty...I'm afraid this is not..."
Before Zhou Kaijiang could finish speaking, Shangguan Rou interrupted him, saying, "The Great Zhou royal family can only have one voice."
Or perhaps the Prefect feels that I cannot represent the Great Zhou royal family?
"I wouldn't dare!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kaijiang quickly expressed his opinion.
At this point, Shangguan Rou had become someone Zhou Kaijiang could no longer understand.
He didn't know where Shangguan Rou got her confidence from, but the choice wasn't difficult at the moment.
Standing next to Shangguan Rou was Jiang Lan, the leader of the Jixia Academy.
The Jixia Academy also has an alliance centered around Li Fan.
He had witnessed firsthand the strength of the entire alliance countless times.
Even though the three prefectures in the north have a lot of royal family background, Zhou Kaijiang still doesn't think highly of them.
After Zhou Kaijiang left, all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but straighten their bodies.
"My lords, please come with me to take a look!"
As she spoke, Shangguan Rou rose from the dragon throne.
Zhou Tianxiong followed closely behind her.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll help if necessary!"
Zhou Tianxiong said in a low voice.
He missed both of last night's big matches.
The reason I missed it was, of course, because I was entertaining those two scoundrels.
When Zhou Tianxiong rushed back today, he had already prepared for the worst.
Those two scoundrels will have to put in a lot of effort when the time comes.
Ye Baiyun and himself together blocked a tenth-grade Dharma Image Perfection cultivator.
Kuang Yutian, that freak, can easily handle one person on his own.
In total, we have two people on our side who have reached the tenth rank of Dharma Image Perfection.
No matter what, they can be considered a backbone force.
Protecting the mother shouldn't be a big problem.
......
"Xiaohua, go back and wait for me!"
Above Chengtian Gate, two figures disappeared into the void.
Yang Dong's killing intent was almost overflowing.
If he was unsure who the target was before, now he is absolutely certain.
The princes of the three northern prefectures are definitely involved in Xiaoqian's death.
The fact that so many experts appeared out of nowhere is enough to say a lot.
Letting Xiao Qing go meant preparing to unleash a massacre.
Yang Dong was certain that there was someone on the other side who was invincible, otherwise Zhou Dingtian would not have been able to face death so calmly.
"This time, not only do I not have to leave, but I can even take action openly and legitimately!"
They want to seize power, and Jiang Lan will certainly not allow it.
A major battle is inevitable, and when that happens, we should unequivocally support Jiang Lan.
With the Zhenwu Division having such a prestigious reputation, no one would realize anything is wrong even if we chose sides.
As long as you don't give yourself away, even if we kill someone, they won't suspect that we've already figured out their identities.
Then we can openly and legitimately kill their people until they are all wiped out!
Xiao Qing's tone was chilling, and his murderous aura was no less than that of Yang Dong.
......
The golden carriage stopped in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
One by one, figures stepped out of the carriage.
These people were all standing on the edge of the car.
Although no one got off the carriage, their presence on it exuded a palpable, imposing aura.
They were all wearing robes adorned with pythons and dragons.
Among these people were princes like Zhou Xuan Ye, who were in charge of guarding a prefecture, as well as many idle princes.
Their presence there represented the will of the Great Zhou royal family.
This will has been refined over three thousand years.
Even Shangguan Rou's face turned slightly pale for a moment.
"Xuan Ye, what are you doing?"
Although His Majesty is missing, the Empress is still alive.
It is only natural that she controls the court.
Your unauthorized trespassing into the palace is a grave offense.
"Go forward and apologize immediately, and the Queen will surely forgive you."
Zhou Kaijiang is still making a final effort.
He did not want to see the royal family strife unless absolutely necessary.
"Zhou Kaijiang, are you getting senile?"
"When did it become a woman's place to rule the Great Zhou royal family?"
Zhou Xuanye snorted coldly, showing no respect for Zhou Kaijiang whatsoever.
Not only that, he also showed no respect to Shangguan Rou.
In his eyes, women were nothing more than appendages of power.
What does a mere empress amount to?
