"How dare you launch a sneak attack?"

The Third Prince's voice was filled with exasperation, and it was obvious that the current situation was something he had never expected.

Zhao Ji smiled instead: "If you are not as skilled as others, you should not get angry out of shame. Besides, didn't you make a sneak attack? If not, would you have been able to enter the palace?"

The Third Prince was furious and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch the Third Prince's neck: "Since you are so reckless, aren't you afraid that I will kill the prince of your dynasty?"

Before others could say anything, the third prince felt the suffocation on his neck. He danced with his hands and looked at the emperor with despair. The emperor remembered what Zhao Ji had said just now and turned his head away with a little reluctance.

"My son, if anything happens to you, all the people of the dynasty will remember you forever!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the third prince knew that the dog emperor and Zhao Ji in front of him must be giving up on the third prince.

"Everyone says that the people on my grassland are vicious, but we also know that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. I didn't expect that the emperor of this dynasty would be so heartless!"

The third prince was still struggling hard when the third prince suddenly reached out and knocked him unconscious.

The Prime Minister subconsciously took a step forward and shouted, "Absolutely not!"

Gutali was the best at sowing discord. Seeing that the emperor had given up and the prime minister was still struggling, he directly pointed out: "Their biological father has given up, why are you, the prime minister, so anxious? Are you the power behind the third prince? Are you counting on the third prince to sit on the throne, and you continue to be your thousand-year prime minister?"

After saying this, the Prime Minister's face turned pale: "Every minister should do his best to protect the royal family. This kind of loyalty is something that barbarians like you from the grasslands will never understand!"

After saying this, the Prime Minister tilted his head slightly and glanced at the Emperor's expression.

The emperor returned to his previous expressionless look, but the more he did this, the more anxious the prime minister became.

It was not easy for the Ling family to raise a prince over the years, and they spent so much effort and money.

To the extent that the entire family was put under pressure, not to mention that the prime minister had ambitious plans behind this prince.

If the barbarians on the grassland strangled the third prince to death, it would have a huge impact on the overall situation!

Zhao Ji continued to stimulate slowly: "Now that we have rescued the emperor, what use is the third prince in your hands?"

"Although the emperor no longer has the third prince, he will have other sons sooner or later. My dynasty will surely continue forever!"

The Third Prince threw the Third Prince to his men as if he were throwing away garbage, and then said to Zhao Ji with a gloomy face: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who you snatch back and who you rescue. If the people in this hall don't surrender tonight, they will all end up having their heads chopped off!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the men in black came forward with swords and knives.

Although the palace guards also rushed forward to protect the emperor and his companions, to be honest, the number of men in black now far exceeded the number of guards.

This battle situation is obviously one-sided.

The third prince was determined to kill. If he had the ambition to use the emperor to control the princes at the beginning, now he was completely enraged and wanted to massacre everyone in the hall.

This man was indeed as murderous and brutal as Zhao Ji had learned before.

"I must let you know the power of the Celestial Empire!" Under the circumstances, Zhao Ji asked Guo Yunchang to take good care of the emperor, and the next moment he was ejected like a spring.

It landed directly at the place where the men in black were most concentrated.

Zhao Ji reached out and broke the larynx of a man in black, then snatched a long sword from his hand.

The next moment, the long sword swung out a dazzling sword flower, and took away three people with one sword.

The other men in black quickly surrounded Zhao Ji, as if they wanted to kill him.

However, Zhao Ji was no longer the same person who was besieged in Chunri Pavilion that day. He just clapped his hands, and this palm, which was filled with innate power, directly smashed one person's skull.

In a short moment, Zhao Ji killed twelve people by himself.

And after he cut his way through a gap, he returned to the emperor's presence.

At this time, there was not even a drop of blood on Zhao Ji's body.

"Third Prince, I was thinking that it would be better to attack rather than defend. If I rushed in front of you like I did just now, I wonder if Third Prince could resist me?"

It was not until this moment that Zhao Ji revealed the identity of the third prince, and all the civil and military officials in the court realized that a prince from the grassland had sneaked into the envoy group.

No wonder they were so ambitious. At this time, all the ministers and the emperor realized that this peace talk might be a conspiracy in itself. From the very beginning, these people on the grassland had no intention of seeking peace.

They came to the capital, and every move they made was just to investigate the situation inside Kyoto.

The emperor was filled with regret at this moment. He regretted not listening to Zhao Ji and thoroughly investigating the background of these grassland people.

Gutali and the third prince looked unhappy. The hand that Zhao Ji showed just now made them suddenly realize that if Zhao Ji ignored the emperor and just wanted to take their lives, they might really die at the hands of Zhao Ji.

The bodies of the twelve men in black who instantly fell down in the hall also frightened these grassland men in black to a certain extent. They began to no longer move forward bravely as before, and hesitated a little.

Zhao Ji smiled faintly: "Third Prince, I advise you to surrender immediately. When my army outside the imperial city comes in, you will be caught in a jar!"

Gutali sneered: "Do you really think there are still troops outside the imperial city that can come? Your General Tian has long been controlled by us. In addition, these guards in your imperial city are just some second-generation officials who have passed themselves off as the real ones. They were captured as soon as we entered the palace!"

"You are right. There is indeed a large army outside the imperial city. However, they are the good men of our grasslands, not the men of your Celestial Empire!"

"Just wait here and wait for death! At dawn, it will be the time for us grassland men to attack the palace. Since you are unwilling to surrender, wait there and fight to the death!"

The ministers in the court looked pale, and even the emperor's brain was working rapidly, only to find that this was actually a dead end.

The other party really came prepared.

At this time, the emperor grabbed Zhao Ji's hand and whispered quietly: "If it really doesn't work, you can abandon the capital and escape. You and I will take the secret passage!"

Zhao Ji's superb martial arts performance just now shocked not only the people of the grassland, but also made the emperor trust and rely on Zhao Ji instantly.

It was Zhao Ji who saved the emperor just now, and it was also Zhao Ji who intimidated the grassland people now, so the emperor clearly realized that only by following Zhao Ji could he have hope of survival.
