So at this moment, the emperor was actually willing to tell Zhao Ji the secret passage of the palace that only the emperor knew, just so that Zhao Ji could escape with him.

Zhao Ji heard the emperor's thoughts at this time.

[Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Zhao Ji can hold out. If it really doesn’t work, I will abandon this royal city and let Zhao Ji take me out first, and then I can make a comeback in the future! ]

[Fortunately, there has always been a secret passage in the palace that only the emperor knows about. It is under a stone on the southeast side of the rockery in the Imperial Garden. Wait for me to take the imperial seal hidden under the third brick from the left on the south wall of the study! I am still the emperor of this world! ]

[As for the civil and military officials in the court, it seems that they are not as useful as Zhao Ji. Once the court is established, we can recruit some ambitious people, and there will naturally be plenty of people to work! ]

Zhao Ji heard the emperor's thoughts clearly. He always knew that the emperor was not a good person, but it still made Zhao Ji sigh that the emperor abandoned the imperial city so easily.

At this moment, the emperor did not care about the safety of the people in the imperial city at all. He was very clear about his own considerations. Even the princes and concubines were not in the emperor's heart.

This may be the ruthlessness of the emperor.

But no matter what, Zhao Ji will protect the emperor. Eli did this to prevent the people of the imperial city from being displaced, and secondly because Zhao Ji hates people who pretend to be cool.

Especially people like the Third Prince and Gutali who are pretentious.

Damn, what are you pretending for? Do you really think you have a sure win?

Zhao Ji held the emperor's hand tightly and gave him a soothing look.

The next moment, Zhao Ji said, "How can you be sure that the people outside the imperial city are all from your grasslands, and that it is not my northern army that is coming?"

Hearing this, Gutali laughed loudly: "If your northern army didn't have that female general Yun Nishang, do you really think you can defend against us? She is brave and good at fighting, brave and resourceful, but without her, your northern army will be like tofu, which will fall apart at the first collision!"

It was not until this moment, when they heard the enemy's affirmation of female general Yun Nishang, that the civil and military officials felt that this woman was truly powerful.

Even the emperor realized the importance of Yun Nishang at this moment.

He asked Zhao Ji: "Is General Yun still ill in the General's Mansion? Is there any hope?"

Before Zhao Ji could answer, the third prince smiled and took out the five-foot-long sword that General Yun always carried with him.

"You, the emperor, why don't you take a look at what this is? It was this sword that chopped off the head of a good man from my grassland. How many grassland men have lost their souls on the battlefield because of this sword!"

"Now that I have the strength to reach the palace, I won't kill that woman on her sickbed before entering the palace, right?"

"I'll tell you, Yun Nishang's deputy general should have been sent by your court, but he's just a fool. If the progress is fast, my grassland army will have already crushed your northern border! Whether it's the grassland, the imperial city or the palace, you don't have a chance of winning!"

The emperor's face became paler at this moment. The civil and military officials did not hope that Yun Nishang could descend from the sky and behead this arrogant grassland man in the hall as they did now.

It was at this moment that they began to realize their harsh treatment of the Northern Army in the past. Only at the critical moment of life and death did they suddenly realize that what Yun Nishang had been fighting against on a daily basis was actually such a group of demons.

Perhaps it was to vent his dissatisfaction, or perhaps it was to offset the negative impact of Zhao Ji's just now fighting in and out of the black people.

The third prince casually pulled an official from the prime minister's side and chopped off the man's head without saying a word!

Blood splattered on the prime minister's body, and he suddenly realized that now it was not a question of who to save, but that he could not even save his own life.

If you can't even save your life, what's the point of having ambitions? Do you have to go to the King of Hell to tell him about your ambitions?

The prime minister subconsciously ran towards Zhao Ji. His hat and shoes fell off while he was running, but he still managed to throw himself at Zhao Ji's feet.

Because only here is there the protection of the guards, the prime minister of a country no longer has the dignity he once had.

The prime minister was like this, not to mention the officials who were surrounding him just now.

Amid screams and roars, these officials scattered like birds and beasts and rushed to Zhao Ji's side.

The third prince still felt unsatisfied, so he took advantage of the chaos to kill several officials before stopping.

The emperor subconsciously grabbed Zhao Ji's arm.

[If Zhao Ji hadn't saved me just now, my head would be rolling on the ground now! ]

[These grassland people are really cruel... What should I do? What should I do! ]

[Let Zhao Ji make the decision... What should we do? ]

When Zhao Ji heard the emperor's chaotic thoughts, he began to murmur that the time had passed, but Zhao Ji's previous arrangements had not occurred.

However, Zhao Ji was very clear that there would be no mistakes in his arrangements, so Zhao Ji's only option now was to delay.

However, the third prince and Gutali were obviously impatient, and they now felt that they had the upper hand in winning.

Now the Third Prince enjoyed the panic on the officials' faces, which was only to satisfy his own desire for cruelty and killing.

"Today you killed an official of my Celestial Empire, tomorrow I will kill ten of your people on the grassland, burn your granaries, enslave your women and children, and slaughter your cattle, sheep and horses!"

Guo Yunchang had already been driven a little crazy by the situation before him, and he shouted viciously at the third prince.

However, it was precisely because of what he shouted that the bloodiness of this group of officials was aroused.

"Even if you kill all of us, there are still millions of people in my Celestial Empire. I want to see whether there are more people from your grassland or from our Celestial Empire!"

Another official stood up and spat on the ground.

More and more people stood up, and more and more civil servants and military generals, regardless of life and death, pulled those marginal officials to the center.

As for the guards holding weapons, some of them carried two weapons and they stuffed one of them into the hands of the officials nearby.

At this moment, the hearts of most civil and military officials were united, because each of them knew that perhaps there was no way to retreat today, and even if they died, they wanted to die with dignity.

However, there are always exceptions. Some people have backbone, while others do not.

He was originally an official in the prime minister's camp and the minister of the Ministry of War, but at this moment, he knelt down in front of the third prince and Gutali.

"I know where the Celestial Empire's granaries are hidden. Please spare my life, sir. I am willing to give you the location of the granaries and all the weapons in the warehouse to the grassland!"

Once a person with weak knees appears, it will definitely shake the morale and military spirit.

Some wavering officials also began to hesitate.
