Chapter 174: The Dust Has Settled

"Empress, I'll wait for you to retreat into the apse first, the sword has no eyes, don't hurt you again."

The captain of the guard beside him said in a deep voice, she was the cold-faced woman, and she was also the one who sent Huo Mingliang back to Panlong Kingdom.

"No need, Empress Ben is waiting for them to come."

Ripple's eyes narrowed.

The ambition of the second princess was used by the Zhao family, she was not surprised at all, the death of the imperial husband Zhao Qian was the biggest stimulation to her, and the Zhao family didn't know who was instigating it, she had been stationed at the border before, but there was no moth.

Ripple stretched out his hand and tore the heavy court clothes on his body, revealing the strength of the red background and gold pattern flying phoenix picture inside, obviously prepared for a long time, and Hui Zhi and Lan Xin beside him also took off their outer robes, held the short sword in their hands, and stood tightly on both sides of the empress.

"Huang Ying, you draw a team of people and send these civil officials to the apse, don't let them be affected."

Huang Ying, the captain of the cold-faced guard, was a little reluctant, now protecting the empress was the first priority, but she didn't dare to disobey the empress's order, so she could only stinky and summon a team of six people, and then surrounded the civil officials who participated in the banquet and moved to the apse.

Some civil officials were reluctant and shouted at the top of their voices:

"Empress! We are willing to live and die with you! ”

The corners of the mouths of several young female officials on the side twitched, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the empress had already taken precautions, and this old man had to show loyalty at this time.

"Alright, stop shouting slogans! The emperor is alive and well, and he won't be able to die for a while! ”

Ripple directly waved his hand, interrupting the old minister's performance, and directly asked Huang Ying to hurry up and take people away.

Huang Ying stepped forward directly, dragged the old minister who shouted the slogan, and strode towards the apse, and the rest of the ministers saw that the empress was confident, so they didn't get in the way here, and immediately followed the escort away.

As soon as Wenchen left, the position next to the empress was half empty, and the guards immediately filled in the gaps, and at this time, another group of Zhao family soldiers rushed into the hall, looking at Zhao Li who fell in a pool of blood, as well as the second queen daughter who hung colors, his heart sank, and he looked up and saw the empress who was protected by everyone.

"Sisters, we have no way back, kill!"

This group of people, who were accustomed to rushing and killing on the battlefield, immediately armed with guns and swords, and entered the battle.

Ripple didn't even frown, and said to Huang Ying, who had already rushed back to the front hall:

"You bring people to support the generals, don't let the heroes get hurt."

"Empress, you can't have no one around you."

Huang Ying refused with a cold face.

"Phoenix head!"

Ripple only raised her voice, and in the next moment, ten dark guards dressed in black and shaped like ghosts fell lightly from the top of the main hall and surrounded her.

The rumored secret guard has appeared, Huang Ying's pressure has plummeted, the royal secret guard is not a vegetarian, and they never see blood when they kill.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Since the empress was already protected, Huang Ying did not hesitate, and rushed up directly with the guards, killing the Zhao family army who rushed in just now.

At this moment, a black ball shot towards the ripples, and the unique sound of breaking the air was immediately captured by her.

Ripple barely hesitated, swung his sword to split the black orb in two, and then said to the dark guard beside him:

"Watch out for the thunderbolts, these people are mixed with people from the Panlong Kingdom."

"Yes!"

The Dark Guard immediately changed formation, and then formed a protective net as fast as possible, and the cold darts "swished" out, deflecting or hitting back all the black thunderbolts.

Then there was a crackling explosion, followed by screams and groans, and although the thunderbolt was blocked, it still exploded, and it also affected the people on both sides

"Kill the man who threw the thunderbolt.

Ripple commanded in a cold voice.

He immediately grabbed the delicate copper-colored incense burner at hand, threw it directly, and knocked a man who was pulling out a thunderbolt to the ground, his head was bleeding, and he fainted directly to the ground, and after a while, he was lifeless.

"Scatter yell, and destroy all the black sheep."

When the words fell, Ripple had already killed with his sword, and the surrounding Praetorian Guards pretending to be palace maids immediately followed, smashing into the increasingly chaotic hall.

Ripple is not a blind assassination, she has long locked down those Panlong people who have been mixed into it, except for a part of the secret guard extermination, there are a few who continue to spare no effort to wreak havoc.

Holding the Thunder Yao Sword in his hand, the ripples have entered the battle state, like a swimming dragon, swimming in the main hall, and each swing of the sword will take the lives of two or three people.

In the end, the people of the Zhao family army avoided the ripples, they didn't expect that the empress's sword was not old, and the sword of killing was stable, accurate, and ruthless, and there were many people who fell under the empress's sword.

Ripple slashed the second princess to the ground with a sword, the tip of the sword against the opponent's throat, and said in a cold voice:

"You've lost!"

The second princess covered the armor that had been torn open by a sword, and her eyes were full of horror, as if she knew her mother for the first time.

General Feng Ming led the army into the main hall, controlled all the remaining Zhao family troops, and then knelt down on one knee and said:

"Empress, the Zhao family's army has been controlled, and the Zhao family's mansion in the capital has also been besieged, just waiting for your order."

Only then did Ripple put his sword back into its sheath and said in a low voice:

"The Fengqi Zhao clan instigated the second emperor's daughter to kill the king, and took advantage of the opportunity of garrisoning the border to collude with the remnants of the Panlong Kingdom in an attempt to subvert my Fengqi imperial power.

From today on, there will be no more Zhao Jiajun in Fengqi! ”

As the last sentence of the ripples fell, the soldiers of the Zhao family who were under control were directly killed on the spot before they could put away the surprised expressions on their faces.

For a while, the smell of blood in the hall was a little stronger.

The second queen's face could no longer be described as pale, and she looked at her mother emperor with some despair.

"Take her down."

Ripple commanded with the same face, after all, it is the daughter of the original body, and it is not good to kill it directly.

"Yes!"

This time it was Huang Ying who took the order.

"Feng Ming, you have worked hard to clean up the entire palace, don't let anyone slip through the net."

"Subordinates obey!"

Feng Ming left a team of people to deal with the corpses in the main hall and guard the empress by the way.

By the time the first rays of the morning sun lit up the sky, the entire palace had returned to calm.

The streets were full of Fengqi's army, and the people were unusually obedient, and no one dared to go out rashly.

They all saw and heard the firelight and explosion above the palace last night, and the people were silently waiting for the final result when something happened in the palace.

The morning pilgrimage of the second day began in this atmosphere.

The people who can stand in the court have all experienced the forced palace of the second queen last night, and they have a new understanding of the queen's combat effectiveness, and each station is straight.

"Tell me, what should the emperor do with the second princess?"
