The people around them chimed in with agreement!
I don't know who it was, but someone pushed the official in front a few steps forward in the crowd!
Then the situation got a little out of control, and everyone, whether willingly or unwillingly, tried to rush into the courtyard!
No matter how Wu Ling and Hai Jingming tried to stop them, no one listened!
Wu Ling could no longer restrain himself and drew his knife, wanting to kill all these disrespectful people in front of him. After all, his prince had not instructed him not to kill anyone before leaving!
In that split second, the courtyard gate suddenly slammed open from the inside!
While the officials were still in a daze, they felt a sharp pain all over their bodies and fell backward!
When they came to their senses, rubbing their backsides, they saw a wolf with snow-white fur standing at the gate of the courtyard!
This wolf is enormous!
They are 2 to 3 times larger than normal wolves!
They had seen a white wolf accompanying Her Majesty the Queen before, but that white wolf was not as big as the one in front of them!
But for some reason, they always felt that the two wolves were the same one!
Faced with this enormous white wolf, these pampered officials couldn't help but feel their legs go weak!
Ah~
"You beast, stay away from me."
"Your Majesty, what exactly do you mean?"
"Could it be that they can't listen to the advice of loyal ministers? Do they want this beast to take our lives?"
Hearing these people calling each other beasts, Xiaoyue retorted angrily, "You old bastard, you're the beast! Your whole family are beasts!"
"I am the wolf king!"
"You people smell bad, I don't want to eat here! I'm afraid you smell bad people will give me a stomachache!"
Those present naturally couldn't understand its words; they only heard the angry howls of the white wolf in front of them!
The timid official, seeing the fangs so close at hand, was so frightened that he fainted on the spot!
Just as Xiaoyue was furious and raised its paws, preparing to teach these rude people a lesson, hurried footsteps suddenly came from that day!
The man walked straight up to Hai Jingming and whispered a few words in his ear.
Hai Jingming's face immediately darkened!
"What did you say?"
"Is this real!?"
"Come on, take me there to see!"
Ning Gui quickly stopped Hai Jingming and asked, "General Hai, what exactly happened?"
Hai Jingming glanced at the people present, then at the dark courtyard, and finally said, "The Marquis of Zhennan's army is at the city gates! I don't know who spread the rumor that Her Majesty the Empress has abandoned us and secretly fled! Those wealthy merchants have received the news and are preparing to escape!"
"Colleagues! Now is the time for us to unite as one and stand together against a common enemy!"
"I believe in Your Majesty!"
"However, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, please stay outside this courtyard for the time being!"
After he finished speaking, he gave a wink to the guard beside him!
The guard immediately understood what his general meant!
With a wave of his hand, all the guards who had been standing watch outside rushed in and surrounded the wounded officials on the ground!
"Lord Ning! I'll trouble you to stay here and keep watch! Chat with the officials while we wait for Her Majesty the Empress!"
Ning Gui nodded. "General Hai, go quickly! Don't worry, I'll guard this place. The officials will be fine!"
Hai Jingming glanced at the dark room, then turned and left!
He believed that Her Majesty the Queen had her reasons for doing so!
The remaining officials, their eyes darting around, struggled to their feet despite the pain in their bodies, eager to return and make preparations. They had also heard some rumors outside and wanted to come and verify them!
I never expected to be left here!
Now you can't run away even if you want to!
I couldn't help but feel regret. Why didn't I write to my family members first when I received this news? Instead, I listened to what that Master Gao said and came over to confirm it!
Wu Ling was annoyed by these people, so he ordered his men, "You all better treat these lords well!"
Those people instantly understood the meaning behind the words. Ignoring the people's struggles, they tied them up, claiming that they were protecting the safety of these adults. In this process, it was understandable that some accidents would occur!
Hearing the screams behind him, Wu Ling followed Hai Jingming out with an indifferent expression.
As soon as they stepped out of their house, they saw a large crowd gathered at the city gate on the way to Mianzhou. The crowd consisted of families, and their faces were full of anxiety!
"Please, sirs, have mercy and let us out. Your so-called emperor has already fled."
"Please spare our lives."
"Look at us, we have families to support, mostly the elderly, women and children. Even if we were in the city, we wouldn't be of much help to you. Please let us go out!"
"The Marquis of Zhennan's men are all at the East Gate! Open the West Gate and let us out!"
"Yes, yes, please let us out!"
Looking at them, Hai Jingming sighed deeply.
Then walk to the other side!
Along the way, we encountered many people with their families, running towards the west gate!
Meanwhile, shouts of battle were already echoing from the east gate!
"I advise you to surrender now!"
"Your Empress has long since fled, leaving you here to die!"
"Who says otherwise? Your little brat ran away a long time ago."
"I don't know what you were thinking? You actually supported a woman as the new emperor!"
"They must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."
"Serves you right!"
The guards on the city wall drew their bows and shot arrows while frowning and refuting them!
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
"Why all this nonsense?"
"Our prince was sent by Heaven to save all suffering beings."
"You have no right to criticize what we have done!"
"I advise you to just surrender obediently!"
"Otherwise, once our Emperor arrives and uses the divine weapon, you will likely be reduced to ashes!"
This person's attention was completely focused on the speaker, and he didn't notice that someone was quietly climbing up from his position in the darkness!
By the time he realized what was happening, the long knife was already almost touching his throat!
Hai Jingming and Wu Ling saw this scene as soon as they came up!
Fortunately, Wu Ling reacted quickly and charged forward using his internal energy!
He grabbed the guard who was drawing his bow and pulled him back, then turned around and drew a dagger from his waist, instantly slitting the throat of the enemy soldier who had sneaked up!
The guard patted his chest, still shaken.
