After passing through countless silent streets, King Zhao's army finally arrived in front of the majestic palace.

Along the way, his people were not hindered - only a gray-haired old Confucian jumped out to question him and denounce him as a thief, only to be quickly killed by the sword.

I'm finally here.

If it were normal, the guards guarding the gate would have drawn their swords and shouted or closed the palace gate when they saw someone gathering, but today...... A few of the guards, who were shivering like quails in the wind, ran away the moment they saw their group, and they only hated their father and mother for giving birth to two legs.

There is no shortage of interesting people around him who say that "it was His Majesty's heavenly power that scared them away", but King Zhao himself didn't think so at all.

If he really has any royal spirit, then these people should bow their heads and greet their new emperor, this is what the elves guarding the imperial city should do!

Instead of turning around and running like he saw the plague god - it was obviously frightened by the army behind him!

"Order, follow this king into the palace." King Zhao reined in his horse's head and said to his entourage: "If you meet a palace person on the road, as long as you don't resist, you can ignore it...... Don't hurt too many people. ”

The subordinates knew well about their own prince's "virtuous king" style, and they were busy and ran to give orders.

In King Zhao's opinion, the palace today is different from the past - it seems to be his own thing here, and it is better to cherish the pots and pots and reputation.

So, the centaurs entered the palace without encountering resistance.

King Zhao knew that there had just been a big battle here a few days ago, and the blood stains on the ground and on the wall that had not had time to wipe clean also showed this - the guards were injured forty percent under the impact of the rebel army, and the rest ran away a part, and the guards who were still guarding the palace were less than forty percent of the usual.

Even the few people who ran away just now were commendable men of the war—at least they dared to stand there!

Now, the few remaining Praetorian guards should be in the core area of the palace, which is why the outer defenses are so empty!

"Father, you are a wise man, but you didn't expect your evening to be so bleak, right?"

After passing through one palace gate after another, King Zhao, who was determined to win, had already begun to think about how to treat his father.

If he's gone, it's all right, if he's still alive......

Is it for him to draft the throne and promote him to the throne? Or do you want to emulate the old story of Emperor Wu of Liang? Or do you just do that unspeakable thing?

Countless thoughts flashed through his heart, even if he had always been determined to kill, this would actually have a moment of softness.

He remembered when he was young, when his father put him on his shoulder and gave him a horse to ride;

He remembered the past when he was eight years old when he had a high fever that did not go away, and his father's clothes were untied and guarded by the bedside for two days and two nights;

He remembered how when he was crowned king, his father did not retreat in the face of the opposition of his ministers, and finally gave himself the title of King Zhao, a prince who should have been retained forever due to the severance of blood, in violation of the rules and regulations.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the past is, it can't beat the cruel reality.

The last bit of warmth in his eyes dissipated, and King Zhao's face returned to coldness.

An army appeared in front of me - although they didn't look much like an army.

Their number was about two hundred. Although the number is small, it is enough to block the corridor under the heavy palace walls.

"Grandpa Hou, what do you mean by this?"

King Zhao raised his horsewhip and said coldly: "This king heard that there was a turmoil in the palace, so he specially led guards and house slaves to quell the rebellion...... What is the reason why you led the crowd to block here, could it be that you have colluded with the rebel army to stop this king from setting things right? ”

He urged him to take a few steps forward, and said with a slight smile: "Father-in-law Hou, you have to think clearly." This king treats you well, and you yourself should know best...... The year before last, your mother in your hometown had no money to bury after her death, or this king sent someone to help you buy a coffin for the funeral, as for the benefits of weekdays, big and small...... Oh, I really didn't expect you to be in front at this time. ”

Father-in-law Hou's quality is not low, and he has seen many dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, but at this moment, the beads of sweat on his forehead keep pouring out, and even his lips seem to be trembling when he looks closely.

However, it seemed that he still straightened his chest and said in the loudest voice possible: "Our family remembers the kindness of the prince, and we dare not forget it one day...... It's just that now that our family has the emperor's order, we can't discuss the old relationship with the prince, and ask the prince to lead the troops back immediately, and our family shouldn't have seen what happened here.

If the prince insists on leading troops into the palace, our family can only block it here, even if it is only for a moment and a half. The emperor's grace is vast, our family has promised His Majesty in this life, as for the kindness owed to the prince, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay it back in this life. In the next life, our family will have to repay this love after being a cow and a horse, but if you want our family to get out of the way with this, then don't think about it. ”

King Zhao smiled disdainfully and said, "Since this is the case, this king will not persuade you." Do you think this alone will be able to stop the king's army? ”

He looked at the enemy on the other side again - this "army" consisted of eunuchs from Qingyishui, many of whom could not even hold their weapons steadily, and some even peed their pants in the battle of the two strands.

However, even so, no one chose to retreat.

King Zhao, who had lost his patience, raised his whip and pointed at it, and the team rushed forward.

The battle was almost one-sided - and while most of the eunuchs were desperately resisting, the few punches they had learned in the palace were simply not enough to compete with the elite of the hundred battles under the command of King Zhao.

After the time of half the incense, there were only countless remains left on the battlefield, as well as a few seriously wounded who could still make sounds.

Those who fled were not absent, but very few.

The soldiers irritated and kicked away the corpses, clearing the way for the group.

King Zhao, who rode his horse forward, found the Hou Gonggong who was almost chopped into meat through the color of his clothes.

He glanced at the body with contempt, and easily erased the life that had been alive not so long ago from his memory.

This king is destined to return, and at this time, there are still people who want to use their mantis arms as a car?

Don't these people really understand what it means to "prosper those who follow me, and perish those who oppose me?" ”

Thinking that the guards of the palace were already weak enough to need to organize palace people to fight, he was already very happy and a little more relaxed.

In the blink of an eye, the team came to the square in front of the main hall.

The door of the main hall was closed, and King Zhao couldn't see the dragon chair - however, he had long regarded this supreme chair as something in his bag, and it didn't make a difference whether he could see it or not.

At this moment, a group of people flashed around the corner behind the palace.

There are not many of them, only a few dozen; However, there is one person among them that King Zhao cannot ignore no matter what:

Chen Borui, who was carried on the chariot!
