"Sixth brother? Palace Guards?! " Crown Prince Lin Tianrong could tell who the voice belonged to. However, when he heard the rumbling footsteps behind the voice, he subconsciously turned to look behind him.
He was still rather surprised by the large number of Palace Guards following behind King Duan. He could accept the appearance of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards.
However …
Palace Guards?
Why did Sixth brother dare to bring the Palace Guards into the palace? The palace was a restricted area for the Palace Guards, unless …
Sixth brother also knew of my plan in advance?
When Crown Prince Lin Tianrong thought of Qian Wu, his body trembled in anger.
So, he had always been a fool who was used by others.
He was indignant.
He really was indignant. However, what could he do now? Resist immediately? It was impossible, because he had no other way out.
"What exactly is this …" King Duan wasn't looking at the Crown Prince. Instead, he was staring intently at the Throne Room, which had been reduced to a pile of rubble. There was a huge bronze door in the middle of the room.
He was equally shocked.
In fact, he knew that there would be a huge battle in the palace before he came. However, he never expected to see ruins.
Where was the Throne Room? Was it destroyed?
And …
What was that demonic man standing in front of the bronze door?
"Could it be … a demon?!" When this thought appeared in Lin Xinjue's mind, he finally stopped in his tracks.
The Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards were equally shocked to see Lin Xinjue and the tens of thousands of city guards appear in their line of sight.
Because, under normal circumstances, the Palace Guards were strictly prohibited from entering the palace.
However …
But now, King Duan had brought the Palace Guards with him. Furthermore, he had entered so openly? Was it a rebellion? Or a rescue mission?
If it was in the past, no one would have such thoughts.
However, things were different now. If King Duan tried to rebel, then the Great Xia Dynasty would really be in a crisis that it had never faced before.
"Father, I was late to the rescue, and …" King Duan was stunned for a moment, but he still spoke quickly. However, when he saw Emperor Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua standing beside him, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Injured?!
Father was actually injured!
And Hua Fei was also injured?!
How was this possible? Hua Fei was ranked seventeenth on the Holy Roll.
What happened?
"What are you doing here?" Emperor Lin Mubai looked at Lin Xinjue, who was rooted to the ground, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
"I … I heard the commotion in the palace and was afraid … afraid that something might happen to you, so I specially brought the city guards to rescue you …" King Duan swallowed his saliva.
"Rescue? Locking the four gates of the Imperial Palace, abandoning the protection of the Flame Capital City, and purposely coming to the Imperial Palace to rescue me? "Emperor Lin Mubai clenched his fist.
"This … I was just afraid that the traitor would escape …"
"Traitor? Are you talking about your third brother? "
"Father, this …" King Duan wanted to explain, but seeing the cold expression on Emperor Lin Mubai's face, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Your Highness, why are you so afraid?" At this moment, Qian Wu's voice rang out. His eagle-like eyes stared at Lin Xinjue, who had already turned around. Qian Wu smirked.
"Who are you?" King Duan frowned and asked Qian Wu, who was standing not far away from Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.
"Oh, I forgot that Your Highness doesn't know me. You only know Su Qing. That's rude. However, didn't Su Qing tell Your Highness why he came to the Palace?" Qian Wu asked apologetically.
"You … what do you mean?" King Duan's expression changed.
"Haha, Your Highness, don't worry. You just need to wait for a while. When the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty dies, the throne will belong to the Crown Prince, or … King Duan!" Qian Wu chuckled.
"Qian Wu, you … what are you trying to do?" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's face paled again. His eyes were filled with blood.
"Your Highness, don't you know what I'm trying to do?" Qian Wu turned around and looked at Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.
"Could it be that you want to …"
"Of course!" Qian Wu did not wait for Crown Prince Lin Tianrong to finish and interrupted him. "Since ancient times, it has always been survival of the fittest. Since Your Highness and King Duan both want to sit on the throne, then there is a need to fight for it. Isn't this fair?"
"Fair? Are you trying to choose an obedient person to sit on the throne? "Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's tone turned cold and his aura became unstable.
"Your Highness, why do you have to be so direct?" Qian Wu laughed.
"You …" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's body emitted a violent aura. He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes shone with a terrifying radiance.
At this moment.
He could guess Qian Wu's intentions.
The Great Xia Dynasty had a thousand years of history. It had vast lands and countless citizens. With the current strength of the Holy Barbarian Empire, there was no way to control and stabilize it.
Hence, Qian Wu was choosing!
He was choosing between himself and King Duan. He was choosing an obedient puppet to inherit the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Once things reached this stage, regardless of whether he or King Duan was on the throne, they would both be controlled by the Holy Barbarian Empire.
"Don't even think about it. I will not let you have your way even if I die!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong finally moved. His eyes were filled with blood as he charged towards Qian Wu.
"Oh? Are you not going to call yourself the Emperor anymore? " Qian Wu sneered as he looked at Crown Prince Lin Tianrong. Then, he casually threw a punch at him.
"Your Highness, be careful!" A man dressed in black quickly blocked Qian Wu's path. His body shone with a dazzling radiance.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the man in black flew backwards and collided with Crown Prince Lin Tianrong. Then, both of them landed heavily on the ground.
"Pfft!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Useless!" Qian Wu spat lightly. Then, he looked at King Duan. "King Duan is a smart person. I don't think you will learn from this useless person, right? Of course, if King Duan is not smart enough, I don't mind finding a smart person in this vast palace! "
Qian Wu's expression was extremely arrogant.
The Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards clenched their fists tightly as they witnessed this scene.
Useless?
This was a form of humiliation!
Although Crown Prince Lin Tianrong had rebelled, he was still the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty before Emperor Lin Mubai stripped him of his position.
"Your Highness, saving the Emperor is more important!" A commander of the Palace Guards looked at Crown Prince Lin Tianrong lying on the ground and Qian Wu standing nearby. His face was also filled with rage.
King Duan's body trembled. Of course he knew that he had to save the Emperor. However, the situation before him had clearly exceeded his expectations.
Looking at Crown Prince Lin Tianrong lying on the ground, he subconsciously clenched his fists.
He had clearly seen Qian Wu's attack just now.
The man in black was at least in the Rebirth State.
However, he was sent flying by Qian Wu's punch.
Furthermore …
Most importantly, Emperor Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua were both injured. The ground was littered with the corpses of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards.
Everything told him that Qian Wu clearly had the upper hand in this battle.
Behind him, there were close to ten thousand Palace Guards. The rest of the Palace Guards were outside the palace. Then, what could he do?
Palace!
He did not come to the palace to simply snatch the credit. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to ascend to the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty.
For the sake of this throne, he had waited for too long.
He did not want to wait any longer.
Rescue the Emperor, kill the Crown Prince, and then accept the title. Then, he would still be the Crown Prince. But what would happen in the following days?
Who would know?
This was an opportunity, an opportunity to ascend to the throne.
However, obtaining the throne himself and obtaining it out of charity were two completely different things. Although he was confident that he could escape the control of the Holy Barbarian Empire after ascending to the throne.
That was still charity.
What should he do?
Fight?
What would happen if he could not win?
Just like what Qian Wu said, the Great Xia Dynasty did not only have him and the Crown Prince. There were too many other choices in the palace.
If he could not win, he would lose his last chance to ascend to the throne.
Hesitation. He was extremely hesitant.
"Father!" Just as King Duan was hesitating, an unusually anxious voice rang out from the crowd.
Then, a fiery-red figure rushed out from behind King Duan. Almost without any hesitation, she ran towards Emperor Lin Mubai.
"Oh no, it's the Princess?!"
"Danger!"
Eunuch Wei and the First Dragon Envoy Yan Qing's voices rang out almost at the same time the figure appeared. Both of them looked nervous as they watched the figure dashing over.
"Ping Yang, don't!"
"Quick, retreat!"
Emperor Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua's voices rang out at the same time. Seeing Ping Yang charging towards them, the two of them instinctively prepared to face her.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Ping Yang. A brand new black court robe fluttered in the night wind, and a hand blocked Ping Yang's way.
