C178 (1/2)

Early in the imperial court, when the officials entered the throne room, they found out that the emperor had passed away. The empress and crown prince had killed their kings and killed their fathers, planning to usurp the throne. This news shocked the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and they couldn't help but discuss amongst themselves. They looked at the empty throne room, looked at the tightly guarded imperial guards, and began to converse in low voices. No one dared to speak loudly.

The cleaning up of the palace had also come to an end. Everything was under control.

The officials were divided into several groups. Their positions were different, and the princes who supported them were also different.

However, they knew very well that what they said didn't count for anything. If there wasn't any military power, then everything would be for naught. Which prince would be able to ascend to the throne, and even look at the attitude of a commander of the imperial guards. Of course, right now, King Jingyuan's thoughts were the most important.

Tie Gang Ying was at a loss. He did not know what would happen next, much less what to do next.

Last night, he had stood on the side of the empress and the crown prince, expressing absolute loyalty and obedience. It was precisely because of this that the empress and the crown prince had decided to hold a regicide plot against the crown prince. The other leaders of the imperial guards were all standing next to different princes. This was nothing, because the four princes that led their troops into the Forbidden Palace didn't commit any great crimes. Two of them died, and one was seriously injured while the other one was also heavily injured.

He was different. From a certain point of view, he was someone who had followed the empress and His Highness the crown prince in the murder of their king. His crimes were unforgivable!

This was the order of the marshal. He had carried it out very thoroughly. He had carried out every order given by the marshal in the past few days without any hesitation.

Now …

He didn't dare to think any further. He was once the emperor's trusted aide. Although he was one of the commanders of the 12 Royal Guards, he had always disobeyed the orders of the handsome lord and set up obstacles in his path. In all these years, the handsome man had been offended quite a bit. It was only because he had the support of the emperor behind his back that the handsome man did not touch him and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.

Even though he had knelt down in front of the handsome lord and vowed to swear his loyalty and swear his loyalty to him, he would definitely carry out his master's orders. However, would the handsome lord let him go?

Sworn allegiance...

With bitterness in his heart, Tie Gang Ying raised his head and looked at the gradually brightening sky. He was afraid that only by dying could he fulfill this oath.

The great crime of murdering a king and conspiring to rebel was to eliminate nine races!

He looked at the road, hoping to see the handsome man. He bitterly begged the handsome man for mercy, begging for mercy, and sparing his wife and children.

As long as he could save his wife and children, his life …

He heaved a long sigh. There was still no news, so he was ordered to guard the former empress and crown prince who were captured. He had to ensure that not only these people were still alive, but that not a single one of them would escape. He wasn't an idiot. The handsome lord had ordered him to follow the empress and crown prince because he wanted to cut off his retreat!

If he did not carry out the order, the Royal Guards that he and his men led would at most cause some trouble for King Jingyuan and Yonglang, and in the end, he would die. Carrying out the orders, he could not see himself, but he had a chance of surviving. This was a heavy crime of murdering a king and conspiring to rebel!

Tie Gangying clenched his fists as he raised his head to look into the distance. His wife and young son were still dreaming.

”Commander, the handsome lord is coming this way.”

”Where?”

The subordinate raised his hand, ”The handsome master is walking over from that side. This subordinate saw you from afar and hurriedly came back to report.”

He hastily lifted his foot to welcome them, and indeed, he saw Yun Fei Feng quickly walking over with his personal guards.

”Handsome master.”

Tie Gang Ying quickly knelt on one knee and greeted respectfully with a bow. He was wearing a military uniform and did not need to kneel. He only needed to bow in salute. Normally, when faced with a handsome lord, he would never kneel down if he could, and for this reason, he always wore a military uniform. But now it was different. How could he dare to be impolite? He bowed deeply and lowered his head.

”No.”
