The emperor looked surprised. This young man looked very unfamiliar, but since he appeared here at this moment, he must be extremely skilled in martial arts, and he must also be loyal to the royal family.
"Young man, I wonder which family you are from?"
Ling Jing had no respect for the emperor. Hearing this, he just cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, I am just a Jianghu man. Today is just the right time to meet."
At this moment, an old voice suddenly shouted in the palace: "How shameless, you are still not polite when I see the Holy One. Do you want to have your home confiscated and your family exterminated?"
Ling Jing smiled coldly, turned around and saw an old scholar-looking old man pointing at him in the main hall on the left with an angry look on his face.
"Searching your family and annihilating your clan? It's so majestic. Believe it or not, I'm going to let you take five steps in the palace with blood splattered on you right now!"
The robe on Ling Jing's body moved without any wind, and a fierce momentum surged towards the old man like a sword blade, knocking him to the ground immediately.
"You, you, you, you are so bold, you dare to commit murder in the Jinluan Palace. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me." After the old man fell to the ground, he burst into tears.
The emperor was a little dissatisfied with Ling Jing and frowned: "Young man, this is the Jinluan Palace. You must not be too presumptuous."
If it were normal, he would definitely have punished this person long ago, but now that he was employing someone, he couldn't say much.
"snort!"
Ling Jing snorted coldly, if it weren't for the princess's sake, who would come to save this dim emperor today? But now you dare to put on airs with him, you really don't know whether to live or die.
"Since your Majesty doesn't like me being so presumptuous here, please forgive me and take my leave."
Ling Jing never paid attention to the old emperor at all. Such a mediocre and incompetent emperor would be a waste if he had not been of noble birth.
He took Lianyi's hand, turned around and left, immediately making Tang Hao, Bai Lao and others look at each other in shock.
Princess Jingchu saw that her father didn't express anything at all, but looked a little gloomy. She became anxious and quickly came up to hold Ling Jing and begged: "Ling Jing, please don't be like this, okay?"
Ling Jing raised his brows and said: "What's wrong with me? Just now I was working hard outside alone, but what are the masters of Fengtian Temple doing? Don't say that I am just an irrelevant person. If it weren't for your sake,
For the sake of face, will I put myself in danger?"
Naturally, he could see that the other old man beside the emperor was also a master, not to mention that there were Oxfam and Huang Jin outside. The previous battle outside had already made him feel a little chilled, but now he really had the intention to leave.
At this moment, a figure walked in from outside the palace, but it was Zhu Junmi who left and returned. From a distance, he said hurriedly: "Second brother, please calm down."
After he went down to heal his wounds, he was always worried that Ling Jing didn't understand the rules and bumped into the emperor, so he hurried over again, not wanting to see such a scene when he came.
"Second brother?"
Everyone else was a little stunned. They didn't know why the Prince of Huai'an would call this young man his second brother. Even Tang Hao, who was relatively close to Ling Jing, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, my second brother has been living among the people since he was a child. He doesn't know much about the rules of the palace. If he has offended the Emperor because of this, please forgive me." After Zhu Junmi came up, he quickly explained to the Emperor.
"Are you the son of King Huai'an?" The emperor was also surprised. He looked at Ling Jing and said, "Since you are my nephew, I will forgive your rudeness."
On the other side, the old minister suddenly shrank his neck. He couldn't afford to offend the son of King Huai'an, so he immediately shut up and became silent.
Ling Jing didn't say a word, but suddenly he felt an endless hatred for Fengtian Palace. He thought that he had been very happy when he was free in the world, but now he was involved in such a hierarchical place. He was really looking for sin for himself.
Accepted.
Ling Jing didn't express anything, and didn't take another look at the emperor. He just said to the princess: "Princess, I promised to help you deal with Han Yu back then. Today, I have risked my life to fulfill my promise. From now on, we are two people."
Clear it."
Princess Jingchu's face turned pale and she was so stunned that she could not speak.
In the end, Lian Yi softened her heart. Seeing the princess's expression, she couldn't bear it and said: "Master, don't blame the princess. She got you involved in this matter, and she feels bad for herself."
The atmosphere above the main hall was a bit strange for a moment. The unruly Jianghu aura in Ling Jing's body was simply incompatible with this place of court. If he stayed there for a moment longer, he would really feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, a general covered in blood suddenly stumbled in from outside the door and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Han Yu's army has begun a large-scale attack. Our troops have been completely defeated!"
The emperor looked pale, swayed, and said, "Why, how could this happen? Where is King Qin's army? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
The shouts of killing outside the hall gradually approached, and then there were earth-shattering footsteps and the sound of horse hooves. In the end, even Huang Jin and Oxfam could not withstand the fighting outside and retreated to the hall.
"Everyone in Fengtian Hall listens. I will give you a stick of incense to come out and surrender, otherwise you will be shot without mercy!"
Suddenly someone shouted loudly outside the hall.
The ministers in the palace were frightened, and the masters such as Bai Lao and Lu Lao also had sad faces. Although their martial arts were high, it was still impossible to protect the emperor among thousands of troops.
"Your Majesty, I don't know when King Qin's army will be able to come in. Why don't we try our best to protect you and break out? There may be a glimmer of hope." Bai Lao said solemnly.
Mr. Lu, Tang Hao and others were a little undecided. Although it was dangerous to stay here, as long as King Qin's army arrived in time, they would still be able to fight. But if they broke through, it would be uncertain.
"Breakout, breakout?" The emperor was startled and looked at everyone in the palace. At this moment, there were less than a hundred guards retreating to Fengtian Palace. It seemed that all the troops outside had been defeated.
Zhu Junmi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we will escort you to the death to break out. As long as you escape, it will be absolutely easy to suppress Han Yu's rebellion."
Ling Jing stood aside and watched. In the face of death, he wanted to see how powerful this emperor could be.
The emperor was hesitant in his heart. After all, he was still a little greedy for life and feared death. He had enjoyed power all his life. Now let him risk a breakout. Is this feasible?
Zhu Junmi suddenly sent a message to Ling Jing: "Second brother, we are descendants of the Zhu family. Naturally, we must put the country, the country, and the country first. Don't act out of emotion."
Ling Jing raised his eyebrows and said via voice: "I'm just a charlatan, don't use these things to pressure me."
"But you have the blood of the Zhu family flowing in your body."
Ling Jing sneered and sent a message: "Is the blood of the Zhu family very noble? Do you know how much I hate this place? Is such a fatuous and incompetent emperor worthy of so many of you working for him?" (Unfinished)
