The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom didn't respond. He just turned to look at the group of people who had followed him in.
Everyone's eyes followed him.
They wanted to know what he was up to.
A man walked out from the crowd. He was clad in armor and exuded a heroic aura. His invisibility was so sharp that no one dared to look him in the eye. He was like a wild and untamed cheetah that could devour anyone at any time.
The moment he saw him, King Huyi's weak and drooping eyes suddenly widened.
Those eyes were so similar!
He was …
Uh!
Bai Yin walked to the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom's side. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at King Huyi's completely stunned face.
"You didn't expect me to still be alive, did you?"
"Ah …" King Huyi stammered for a long time before he could say the word 'Jin'.
Ah Jin.
The late king's son!
Everyone was surprised.
There was silence. Bai Yin frowned, "Back then, my Imperial Mother and I fled to the Great Lin. Fortunately, that forest was big enough for me to survive. Unfortunately, I lost my memory and stayed outside for more than twenty years. Fortunately, the truth has come to light. Now, you...
Now, it's time for you to pay me back! "
"Ah Jin …"
"You don't have the right to call me that!"
King Huyi's blood-stained lips trembled.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
At this moment, he really regretted it!
"Back then, you personally cut off my father's head. This debt should be paid with blood!"
As soon as he finished speaking —
Someone came in from outside the door.
Lian Que's body was stained with blood, and he was holding two square boxes in his hands!
He walked to the Marquis of the Southern Kingdom. “
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom nodded.
Lian Que placed the boxes in front of King Huyi and opened them one by one.
Two heads covered in blood came into view.
One was Na Yan's!
The other was Na Tuo's!
Both died with grievances.
Two pairs of eyes stared straight ahead!
At that moment, half of King Huyi's body stiffened.
His face was pale, and his whole body was trembling.
Blood flowed out of his mouth.
He collapsed on the soft couch.
Marquis Pingyang, who was forced to kneel on the ground, was also shocked.
Although he had ordered to bring the bodies of the two Kings into the palace, he didn't expect those people to be one step ahead of him and even cut off their heads.
This book was so savage that he could not compare to it.
The Marquis of the Southern Kingdom said, "After the Great King dies, there are still people accompanying him. His life has not been in vain."
The muscles on King Huyi's face wrinkled, his neck turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Ugh." She then stretched her hand towards Bai Yin and said with difficulty, "It's... I... I'm sorry... Your Imperial Father!"
After saying the last word, he breathed his last!
The pair of eyes did not close!
An emperor of a generation, in the end, would only end up like this.
In the hall, everything returned to normal.
It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping to the ground could be heard clearly.
Bai Yin stood in front of the still-dead Huyi King. He did not know how to describe his current feelings.
Happy?
Emotional?
Or …
In fact, he knew very well what this moment meant.
Huyi had been re-established, and he was the new king!
However, was he really ready?
Spend the rest of his life in this palace?
He was originally a wild and untamed cheetah, born to belong to the prairie and the great forest, but now he had to shed that layer of skin and sit on that ice-cold dragon throne.
Are you really ready?
...
Outside, because of the fire at the sacrificial altar and the soldiers surrounding the palace, the palace was in chaos.
The crowd surged and ran out of the palace.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger.
It spread everywhere.
Several palaces had been affected. Li Qiao led his men to suppress the captured officials, demanding that they obey the Li family. Those who disobeyed were to be killed without mercy. The difference between Marquis Pingyang and King Huyi was that Marquis Pingyang did not have the heart to be merciful in order to consolidate his future throne.
He had to be merciful and ruthless in order to eliminate all future troubles!
It was a mess outside, and the officials were locked up in Yangxin Palace Hall.
They were being watched by the palace guards and could not get out at all.
The people did not seem to understand what had happened.
They had planned to go home immediately after the annual sacrifice to celebrate New Year's Eve.
They did not expect that the sacrificial altar would catch fire, and they would be captured by some unknown soldiers and brought here.
Now, they were anxious, worried, and nervous.
Naturally, Duke Wang was among them.
He carefully thought about the ins and outs of this matter and seemed to have figured out something.
But he was interrupted by someone beside him. "Duke, the annual sacrifice was fine. Why did this happen?"
"Yes, haven't you been helping the Second Duke to prepare for the annual sacrifice?"
"What the hell is going on?"
...
Duke Wang originally had some thoughts, but now, they were all gone.
He could not figure it out!
Until —
The door was pushed open.
Li Qiao came in with his men.
Huai Tongren, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, thought that he had found a life-saving straw. He stepped forward and said, "Lord Li, what is going on? Why are there so many soldiers in the palace? And why did they bring us here? "
Li Qiao's expression was cold. "Lord Huai, sorry for offending you. The people who captured you here … are my men."
Huai Tongren's eyes widened. "You … what do you mean?"
Li Qiao looked at him coldly, then glanced at the crowd. "Do you still not understand?"
Everyone looked at each other.
No one would have thought that Li Qiao would rebel!
After all, he was the most trusted person by King Huyi's side.
And Duke Wang understood. "Lord Li, could it be …"
Li Qiao's eyes revealed a cold light. "Now, the King is in Tongzhi Hall and can't even take care of himself. The thousands of soldiers outside are all under the command of the Li family."
Duke Wang said, "Are you rebelling?"
"Duke, it's not too late to understand!"
"How dare you …"
"Why not?"
Duke Wang was stunned.
Li Qiao said, "Now, there are only two choices in front of you. One is to submit to the Li family, and the other is … to be buried with the King."
The officials sighed.
Originally, they were divided into two factions. One was the Second Prince, and the other was the Third Prince. They thought that one of them would ascend to the throne, but they didn't expect the situation to change so drastically. For a while, the Li family rebelled.
Someone said, "Li Qiao, the Second Duke and the Third Duke will definitely come."
"Come?" Li Qiao smiled. He said, "The two Dukes can't even take care of themselves. I'm afraid they have already died. Their bodies are being carried into the palace."
"Uh …"
There was a commotion.
"The inside and outside of the palace are already in the hands of the Li family. A wise man submits to circumstances. As long as you are willing to submit to the Li family, you can leave the palace alive. Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the old relationship between us."
Everyone looked at each other.
No one dared to make the first decision.
It seemed like they were still waiting for a turn of events!
Li Qiao didn't want to wait any longer. He had to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
He drew his long sword and swung it.
Huai Tongren, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was killed.
