Chapter 161: Breaking Through
The huge bell in the corner of the square in the palace made a low sound like a whimper, and two burly wrestlers worked together to hold a huge iron hammer and beat the giant bell fiercely, and the bell sounded as if with some invisible sense of oppression, making the hearts of the imperial capital ministers and nobles standing outside the main hall tremble. 【Reading.com】
Groups of Royal Guard soldiers walked towards the square in front of the Hall of Light, lined up in a fan-shaped array, and stood around the square, and twenty golden-armored warriors with battle axes in their hands stood on both sides of the outside of the main hall, standing solemnly.
The noble ministers of the imperial capital stood on both sides of the square according to their ranks, waiting......
No one knew what they were waiting for, but when they looked at the door of the hall above, they all knew very well that it was impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to appear in that place today - His Majesty the Emperor Abbasid XI was still lying in bed.
After a majestic shout, everyone withdrew their gazes and watched Her Majesty slowly walk out of a side door behind the main hall.
To everyone's surprise, Her Majesty the Empress was holding a scepter in her hand that symbolized the authority of the Emperor of the Bright Empire......
Her Majesty's face was a little pale, but her expression was quite calm, and she was followed by Miss Nicole in a military uniform, Miss Nicole was wearing the uniform of the Tulip family today, but the costume that was supposed to be a man was worn on her, but it showed a bit of heroic and sassy meaning. It's just that everyone's eyes are almost ignoring her now, and countless pairs of eyes are looking at the bulging lower abdomen under Her Majesty's dress......}(yi{
Her Majesty the Empress slowly raised her scepter and said in a loud voice: "In the name of the Great Emperor of the Bright Empire, may the gods bless the prosperity of my empire!"
When everyone saw her raise her scepter, they immediately lowered their heads and said in unison: "Salute to Your Majesty!"
Her Majesty's gaze swept over the audience, and then she glanced at Miss Nicole standing beside her, and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone knows that our Imperial Majesty is seriously ill......!
As soon as she said this, she heard a shout from outside the square: "Put down that scepter!
I only heard the sound of leather boots, and Prince Balang strode in, dressed in military uniform!
Behind him were the Marquis Caroline, the commander of the Central Cavalry Corps, General Bayi, and a dozen officers of the heavily armed Central Cavalry Corps.
The queen seemed to have an unnatural expression, and couldn't help but look at Miss Nicole, who frowned and nodded at her, signaling her to insist.
Prince Balang strode to the bottom of the steps of the square and said loudly to the queen: "This scepter was left by the great Abbasid Great!
Her Majesty's face was a little pale, but under the encouragement of Miss Nicole's gaze, she still said: "This scepter can naturally be held by His Majesty the Emperor, but at present, His Majesty is seriously ill, and I just use it to meet the subjects of the empire on behalf of His Majesty, what's wrong?"
Prince Balang said coldly: "Since Your Majesty is seriously ill, the most important thing at the moment is to treat Your Majesty's body...... Have you forgotten the iron decree of the patriarch Abbasid the Great that women should not interfere in politics?!"
His words were extremely tough, there was no half of respect on his face, his chest was high, his eyes were staring at the queen's face like electricity, and the imperial nobles and ministers on both sides of him were silent.
The queen gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is in danger at the moment, and I, as the empress, ordered the nobles of the empire to come to discuss, is this also considered interference?"
There is some truth in what he said, but the queen's voice is low, and her tone is far less tough than that of Prince Balang, so she can't help but weaken by three points in terms of momentum.
Miss Nicole sighed in her heart, and immediately said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, Her Majesty the Queen has summoned everyone to discuss the important affairs of Your Majesty's body!
Before Prince Barang could speak, the Marquis of Caroline behind him said coldly: "Miss Nicole, in what capacity are you speaking here? The head of the Tulip family should be the Duke, not you, right? Miss is a woman, and she does not have a knighthood or official position, so on this occasion, it seems that Miss has no place to speak!"
Miss Nicole said coldly: "Her Majesty the Queen has already recruited my younger brother back to the imperial capital, and at this moment on the way, I am attending today's ceremony as the eldest daughter of the Tulip Family on behalf of the Duke, what's wrong?"
Prince Balang shook his head, just looked at the Empress, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, it is not wrong for you to summon everyone, but His Majesty the Emperor is still alive at the moment, so you will take His Majesty's scepter out and want to replace His Majesty's order? Please put down the scepter, and then you might as well say it! That scepter, you must never take it! The iron decree of the ancestors, even His Majesty himself cannot disobey it!"
The queen hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Miss Nicole, who frowned and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard the warriors outside the square shouting: "His Majesty the Pope has arrived!"
The guards of honor on both sides immediately sounded the highest standard of ceremonial music, and then they saw Corsica VI in white clothes, followed by three bishops and elders, striding into the square.
Prince Baran's gaze immediately turned cold, and he turned to look at Corsica VI.
Corsica VI walked up to everyone, smiled faintly, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry I'm late. ”
Just as the Empress and Prince Barang were facing each other in the square in front of the Great Hall of Light, a person walked over with his head bowed at the back of the palace, outside the bedroom of His Majesty the Emperor Abbasid XI. He was dressed in the garb of a medical officer, and his head was bowed all the way under the watchful eyes of a group of heavily armed Guards.
Elder Charles, the court warlock who was guarding outside the dormitory, glanced at the person who came, frowned, and said, "Medical Officer Kru, you are late today! Your Majesty seems to be a little wrong just now, and it has just quieted down at the moment!"
The medical officer Crewe didn't speak, just nodded, and walked inside, Elder Charles watched the medical officer walk into the dormitory, and when he walked to his side, he suddenly felt a chill in his body, and there was something abnormal in his heart, but he frowned and looked at it, but there was nothing wrong with him.
There was silence in the dormitory, and through two doors, in a huge room, in the middle of which was a large bed, surrounded by a white gauze tent, the Emperor Abbasid XI could be seen lying in it.
There was no sound in the room, only the faint breathing of His Majesty the Emperor, long and short, if any.
The medical officer Crewe walked to the window, lifted the veil and stood beside the bed, looked at Abbasid XI on the bed, sighed, and whispered: "Alas, what a pitiful emperor, the dignified emperor, has fallen to such a state...... Man, what a fragile creature......"
"I really don't understand your ......," a voice behind him said coldly, "It took so much effort and so much trouble to enter the palace...... With your and my skills, who can stop you from coming in?"
A huge fat figure appeared behind him, it was the fat man Tianlie.
The medical officer glanced back at him and said coldly, "Do you think everyone is the same as you......?" Hum...... If it weren't for the 'Blood Escape' of the Blood Clan from that little bat, you would have been able to come in so unnoticed? Not to mention that I wouldn't have learned that kind of thing...... I'm not a powerhouse in my field. ”
glanced at Tianlie and said coldly: "I know what you want to say, you must be going to say, 'Your Uncle Tianlie's ability, who can stop you if you want to come in', right?, or 'Your Uncle Tianlie never likes this kind of sneaky thing', right?"
Tianlie's face was embarrassed, but he said stiffly: "How do you know!"
The medical officer snorted and said lightly: "What else is there in your big head besides this kind of thought? Let me tell you, it is luck that we were able to come in, and that Elder Charr didn't use the penetration technique to look at you today, otherwise, would it be so easy to hide from others based on what you have learned for a few days? Do you think that you can learn the 'Blood Escape**' of the Blood Clan in a few days? Besides, if we make any big noise, things will not be able to continue! You only know how to use your fists, when will you learn to use your brain?"
Tianlie said indignantly: "There is so much nonsense, now that we are in, what are you going to do! I heard that the square outside is very lively today, looking at this half-dead emperor here, Lao Tzu might as well watch the excitement outside!"
The medic grinned, "Look, that's the difference. I use my brain, you do it. So although you are stronger than me, you have to listen to me everywhere. I'm telling you, you can't do without this...... You're here now, and whoever comes in for a while, you're going to stop me...... And yet you can't expose yourself. ”
"Why?"
The medical officer rolled his eyes: "When my old man is doing it, naturally no one can disturb him, besides, if someone sees it, this game will not be played!"
"Okay!" Tianlie said angrily, "If someone comes in, I will screw off his head and throw it outside the palace!"
Seeing Tianlie walk outside, the medical officer sighed, stretched out a hand and gently stroked the head of Abbasid XI, and said in a low voice: "Poor man, what if you are the emperor......?"
A ray of light shot out of his hand and slowly injected it into the emperor's head, and then the emperor in a coma took a sharp breath, and then he was out of breath!
The medical officer shook his head: "I killed someone...... My old man finally killed with his own hands...... Alas, that's what it feels like to kill. ”
A strange smile appeared on his face, and then a cloud of light slowly enveloped his body......
At this moment, outside the south gate of the imperial capital, a piece of dust was raised in the distance of the main road, the ground shook, and the sound of horses' hooves like raindrops was endless, faintly from far and near......
The soldiers of the Central Cavalry Regiment at the south gate were shocked, and immediately gathered in a nervous formation, and a group of archers on the city wall were immediately ready!
I saw a group of cavalry rushing from far and near on the road, and the cavalry held a flag high in their hands, and the tulip pattern on it fluttered in the wind.
When Roddy saw that the city gate was in the distance, he immediately shouted a loud shout, and the cavalry quickened up and pressed towards the city gate!
After a trumpet, a group of cavalry wearing Thor's whip ran out of the city gate, and rushed towards the cavalry coming from the main road!
With a wave of his hand, the queue under his command quickly stopped, and in a moment, the cavalry team of tens of thousands of people stopped on the main road, looking murderously at the team of the Central Cavalry Legion running in front of him.
"Who is coming!" shouted the captain of the Central Cavalry Corps.
"Nonsense!" Commander Ziggy rushed to the front and shouted, "Don't you see the flag! Duke Tulip has returned to the imperial capital!
The captain of the Central Cavalry Regiment immediately broke down in a cold sweat, but he still said in a loud voice: "I know you, you are the commander of Qige! But General Bayi has an order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gate today! Now the emperor has been taken over by our 'Thor's Whip'! To enter the city, you must have a warrant from Prince Balang!"
"Thor's Whip?" Ziggy glanced at the other party coldly: "You also dare to call yourself 'Thor's Whip'? Get out of the way!
The officer was sweating profusely, and still said: "His Royal Highness the Prince has an order, we are ordered to hold the city gate, if I let you in, it will also be a capital crime!"
Luo Di rode slowly to the front, glanced at him coldly, and said: "I am Duke Tulip, and I have returned to the imperial capital on the orders of Her Majesty the Empress!
While he was talking, there was a lot of noise in the city gate, and then the cavalry of the brigade ran out, set up a formation, and blocked the city gate, it turned out that the situation was not good, and the cavalry inside the city gate immediately drove out!
Thousands of cavalry took up a position under the city gate, and then the huge city gate behind them slowly closed.
Luo Di raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What?
The cavalry of the brigade that ran out suddenly shouted: "Lord Duke, I am the commander of the Sander of the Central Cavalry Corps, and you have seen my ......"
Luo Di glanced at him, he had seen it when he had selected people to fight in the northwest in the Central Cavalry Regiment.
Commander Sander walked up a few steps and shouted, "Lord Duke, it's not that we won't let you enter the city, it's just that the prince has an order, and we, General Bayi, have also issued an order, so we can't let you in...... In my opinion, it is better to ask the Duke's team to be stationed outside the city, and you can enter the city yourself!"
Zige's eyes showed evil anger, and he said coldly: "Sander, with so many people you have brought, do you think you can stop the Duke?"
Luo Di was anxious in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Get out of the way for me immediately, Commander Sander, these people of yours, my wolf tooth army can be killed in a moment!
Ziggy took a deep breath, raised his scimitar, and shouted, "Wolf Fangs-!!"
I only heard a neat "brush ......" tens of thousands of scimitars were pulled out and raised at the same time, and then tens of thousands of voices shouted in unison: "Kill !!"
The entire team of the Wolf Tooth Army took a step forward at the same time!
Sander and his cavalry immediately felt a cold murderous aura! Some of their hands began to tremble, and there was a look of fear in their eyes -- these Central Cavalry Corps were no longer the elite "Thunder God Whips" of the past, let alone compared to these real elite wolf tooth troops who had been on the Northwest Battlefield?
Just the kind of murderous aura that came out of the Wolf Tooth Army that was really tempered in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield already made them chill!
Sander Khan rained down and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Duke, it's really ......"
"Shut up!" Roddy shouted coldly: "I'll count to three, if you don't give way, we'll break on our own!"
"One!"
"......Boom" tens of thousands of horses took a step forward in order.
"Two!"
Countless scimitars were slowly raised, and under the sunlight, a cold light was reflected!
"Three!" Luo Di's eyebrows raised, he pulled out the scimitar in his hand, and just raised it, and was about to give the order to charge and kill, when he heard a sudden shout from the opponent's ranks!
Numerous horses scattered in all directions, the cavalry scattered as much as they could, and some of the officers threw down the ranks and turned around and ran in both directions.
These people know very well in their hearts that if they really fight, they will be killed by the other party in a few moments! What kind of team is the Wolf Tooth Army? Who is Duke Tulip?
Sander's face was like ashes, although he didn't run, his legs were shaking, and he said in a trembling voice: "Let's ...... Get out of the way!"
The cavalry scattered to both sides, and Roddy rode to the city without looking at them, looked at the nervous archers at the head of the city, and shouted, "Open the door!"
Sander said in a trembling voice: "Lord Duke, they won't open it...... Whoever opens the gates of the city is guilty of death......"
Luo Di sneered, and suddenly snatched the spear from the hand of a cavalryman beside him, only to see a golden fighting spirit emerge from his body, and the spear in his hand turned into a fire dragon and shot out!
With a bang, the iron-like gate of the imperial capital was immediately shattered! In the midst of the neighing of the horse, Luo Di pulled out the dragon's tooth sword and coldly shouted at the archers at the head of the city: "If you have the guts, you can shoot arrows!!"
After saying that, he rushed in first.
Behind him, tens of thousands of wolf tooth troops followed behind him, kicked up a cloud of dust, and rushed into the imperial capital......
