Gutali stared at Zhao Ji for a while, and said lazily: "What is there to talk about? Now the emperor of your dynasty is in my hands. I have an absolute advantage."
Zhao Ji chuckled and shook his head: "No, Gutali, you still have to talk to us. It is true that the emperor is in your hands, but do you think you and your envoys can get away with it?"
Hearing this, Gutali raised his head and laughed: "Whether we can escape safely or not, you, a eunuch, don't have to worry about it."
"People like you who are unwilling to be men will be sacrificed to Lord Wolf God on our grassland."
Gutali obviously looked down on Zhao Ji.
However, Zhao Ji did not get angry or humiliated. After all, he was just a fake eunuch. No matter how much you scolded him, it could not change the fact that he was a man.
Before Zhao Ji could say anything, Guo Yunchang jumped out and said, "Gutali, you are so arrogant. Do you really think that the millions of soldiers in my dynasty are here to eat and do nothing?"
"I advise you to release the emperor, otherwise the soldiers inside and outside the imperial city will cut you into pieces!"
Gutali thought Guo Yunchang was talking nonsense. At this time, he had already held the emperor hostage, and his clansmen had already entered the palace. So Gutali had nothing to fear.
"Let me see you ministers. Instead of worrying about the dog emperor, you should think about yourselves. When my people break through the imperial city, how many of you are willing to be ministers who lose the country?"
Gutali said this with a smile, and the next moment countless men in black rushed into the hall.
The third prince, who was in the lead, actually held a hostage in his hand. This person was none other than the queen's son, the third prince.
The prime minister, who had been watching the show leisurely, suddenly became no longer as calm as before when he saw the third prince being kidnapped.
It can be said that the prime minister's expression turned pale in an instant.
Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.
"This should be the prince who is more likely to inherit the throne of your dynasty."
"I heard that it is a legitimate son, born to the queen. If we send him and his father to see the King of Hell today."
"Do you think it will become fun?"
The Third Prince loved to see people frightened, and in the past he liked to see these emotions on their battle uniforms.
Now I find it more satisfying to see these powerful people showing this kind of expression.
The emperor's desire to survive prevailed at this time, and he took the initiative to speak: "We can calm down and talk about what you want, there is no need to resort to this method!"
The third prince sneered: "It seems that Gutali should really cut your throat, so that you won't talk so much nonsense. Don't you know what I want? I want your fertile land of the Celestial Empire!"
The emperor's face was pale and his lips moved slightly but he could not say anything.
It turns out that when people face extreme crisis, their brains don't work at high speeds.
The emperor could only place his hopes on his civil and military officials.
Perhaps it was because the men in black were so aggressive, or perhaps it was because the guards were afraid to take action because the emperor and the prince were kidnapped.
The ministers began to avoid looking at him.
Some people glared at the men in black, but more people lowered their heads, not daring to look at the current situation.
Officials are all shrewd people. Before the situation is completely settled, no one will bet on it all at once. Especially now that their lives and property are at stake, these ministers are even more cautious.
Under this situation, Zhao Ji gave Guo Yunchang a wink. The two of them had become familiar with each other during this period and had a certain tacit understanding with each other.
Although Guo Yunchang didn't know what Zhao Ji was trying to do, he still instinctively felt that Zhao Ji was going to cause trouble. Since Zhao Ji was going to cause trouble, he would definitely help him.
So Guo Yunchang started yelling and spitting loudly.
He became so emotional that he looked like he was going to hit his head against a pillar and die on the spot to show his loyalty.
Sure enough, the third prince and Gutali were attracted by Guo Yunchang.
Perhaps Guo Yunchang's performance touched their hearts, and they wanted to see such an effect, so the two of them slowly stimulated him with words.
On the contrary, the two ministers beside Guo Yunchang stretched out their hands to slightly stop Guo Yunchang out of friendship, which made Guo Yunchang perform his tricks better.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Ji suddenly stepped forward. He had been practicing the innate skills for a long time, so his posture was much lighter than before, and his movements were also faster.
In addition, Guo Yunchang was rolling on the ground at this time, and he did not look like an official of the Celestial Empire at all.
The third prince and Gutali laughed at them, and the moment they smiled.
This is the best time for Zhao Ji to take action.
The emperor only felt his throat tighten, and then his shoulder seemed to be hit. He rolled to the ground in embarrassment, but Zhao Ji held him down and forced him to retreat directly to the hall.
The situation was reversed in an instant.
Gutali lost the emperor and his face was so gloomy that water could drip from it, while the civil and military officials saw Zhao Ji supporting the emperor.
Some are happy, some are sad.
This time Guo Yunchang stopped rolling on the ground and took this opportunity to rush to Zhao Ji's side.
The ministers with quick minds also began to move closer to the emperor.
This is to protect the emperor, and secondly, of course, because they know that if anything happens on the spot, although the emperor's side is dangerous, it must be a position that all guards will protect at all costs.
In just a few breaths, the hall was divided into two distinct sides.
The third prince was holding the third prince in his hand, and some ministers standing further back were also near them.
On the other side were the emperor, Zhao Ji, and clever officials like Guo Yunchang.
Standing in the middle of the hall were Gutali, who had just been beaten out by Zhao Ji, and the prime minister, who had a gloomy expression. Naturally, there were many officials around the prime minister.
Just now, Zhao Ji took the risk to rescue the emperor, and he had to slap the emperor, using his clever strength to push the emperor out from the man's eagle claws.
Even so, when the crisis came, Gutali's first subconscious reaction was to grab the emperor's throat and try to strangle him to death.
Thanks to Zhao Ji's skillful use of force, even so, the emperor's throat was severely hurt.
Guo Yunchang immediately stepped forward to take over Zhao Ji's support for the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, are you feeling okay?"
Now that he had escaped from the jaws of death, the emperor was no longer as nervous as before. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine!"
Zhao Ji was facing the third prince at this time. The group of people were not afraid at all, but quietly leaned close to the emperor's ear and said, "Your Majesty, if there is any accident, I will definitely protect you first."
The emperor was slightly stunned and had not yet figured out what Zhao Ji meant when he heard the third prince opposite him speak arrogantly.
