capital.

at this moment on the officials road, the commoners lined the streets to welcome them, and the civil and military officials followed behind emperor kaiping’s imperial carriage, walking forward.

fortunately, in this world, nobles practice martial arts, but their achievements in martial arts vary, otherwise, after this long journey of worshiping heaven, these noble officials might not be able to endure it.

liang sheng and old zhang’s family were kneeling on the ground at this moment, but liang sheng was only pretending to kneel, chanting “long live!” with a flush face, as if extremely excited. they were all good actors.

when the imperial carriage passed in front of them, liang sheng and the others quickly stood up. at this moment, emperor kaiping looked at the people cheering “long live!” and felt a surge of ambition.

this was his kingdom.

the imperial army was always alert to the surrounding people. although it was unlikely that anything would happen, they were still conscientious in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

nowadays, his majesty is not a kind and gentle ruler, and he is very harsh. if he is humiliated today, he may be sent to the sky prison or even executed directly.

however, until emperor kaiping ascended the mountain to worship the sky, nothing happened. after descending the mountain, with the city gate in sight, mo longqiang, the commander of the imperial army, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

but at this moment, suddenly someone flew out from the crowd, rushing straight towards the imperial carriage. dozens of people were all high ranking martial artists, and their goal was extremely clear.

in an instant, the onlooking crowd was thrown into chaos, and some people who were running in panic accidentally bumped into the imperial army and were immediately executed on the spot.

old zhang’s family hadn’t had time to understand what was happening when they were surrounded by the crowd and forced to squeeze out.

old zhang sighed in his heart, fearing that they would lose their lives today. just then, he suddenly felt a tremendous force, and he was separated from the crowd.

before he could understand what was happening, he heard liang sheng’s voice, “hurry, follow me.”

in an instant, old zhang had found his backbone and saw that his family was by his side. he quickly followed liang sheng, fleeing away from the panicked crowd and towards the edge of the officials road.

disaster!

on the other hand, the commander of the imperial army paled in horror and his heart sank. how could there be a slip-up at this moment? who would have thought that someone would dare to assassinate emperor kaiping at this time?

at this moment, he could only shout loudly to try to make up for his mistake.

“there are assassins! protect his majesty!”

although the imperial army around the imperial carriage was slow to react, they were still the elite of the elite, instinctively stepping in front of the carriage to protect it.

for a short while, the scene was filled with sword light and fierce fighting. despite being elite soldiers, most of the imperial army was only at the intermediate-level martial arts, but the assassins were at least at the postnatal seven-realm. caught off guard, the imperial army was forced to retreat step by step.

as the imperial army continued to be slaughtered, opening a gap, several postnatal ninth layer experts rushed towards the imperial carriage. emperor kaiping’s face behind the curtain had already turned black.

“your majesty, why not let this old slave end this farce?”

“no need for da ban to take action, i want to see if mo longqiang can still be the commander of the imperial army. there’s no need to keep useless people around.”

hearing these words, qin gang stood quietly beside emperor kaiping, not moving at all. with him there, no one could touch his majesty.

finally, mo longqiang regained his senses and began to command the imperial army. with a ringleader, the headless dragon-like state of the army was instantly resolved, and they began to advance and retreat in an orderly manner. for a short while, the assassins were unable to make any progress.

seeing this scene, emperor kaiping in the imperial carriage finally looked more pleased; after all, his imperial army was not so useless.

at this moment, the civil and military officials and nobles were also guarding around the imperial carriage, but their faces looked very strange. they protected zhang zhengju and glared fiercely at the ministry of rituals.

the cheering commoners were carefully selected, but now that a slip-up had occurred, how would his majesty see them?

in recent years, emperor kaiping had become increasingly violent. a moment of carelessness could result in a trip to the sky prison. the saying “to live with a monarch is like living with a tiger” could not be more apt.

however, as the situation gradually came under control, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. his mind was still racing, thinking about how to placate emperor kaiping’s anger.
