Cang Qiao looked at the disbelieving Emperor Ming and sighed: "Over the years, my nephew has thanked Your Majesty for many rewards, but I have not yet thanked Your Majesty for the title of King Mourning, and for giving this dead man like me a princess."
Emperor Ming was still in shock and his mind went blank.
Cang Qiao smiled: "This is the only good thing your Majesty has done for me to be grateful for. Although you and my good brother still took her away, she was my wife for that period of time."
Emperor Ming's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at him in disbelief: "You...if Minglan wasn't your niece, do you...do you have ulterior and dirty thoughts about her?!
"
Cang Qiao raised her eyes, looked at Emperor Ming, and suddenly couldn't help laughing——
"Dirty? Yes... I have dirty thoughts towards her, hahaha, the men in our Shangguan family are not good people, how can I be an exception? Your eldest son has known about this for a long time.
, did he say anything to you?"
Emperor Ming was almost furious when he heard this. If he had known that Cang Qiao was actually having an affair with Ming Lanruo, he would have been on guard. But that idiot Shangguan Hongye didn't tell him!
When he saw the craziness in the corners of Cang Qiao's eyes, he immediately panicked and gritted his teeth and said -
"Winning king or losing bandit, I killed your parents, but I just followed the trend. Xiao Guanyin hid you secretly, clearly with malicious intentions. She died unjustly, but I never treated you badly!"
"And that girl knows what you did to her mother and the Xiao family in order to surrender to me - ah!"
Before he finished speaking, a sharp sword edge was placed on Emperor Ming's throat, causing him to shut up instantly, not daring to provoke the man holding the sharp sword again.
Cang Qiaosen looked at Emperor Ming coldly: "So, if I want your life now, I am just following the trend. As for what I have done, whether she knows or not, I don't need to worry about it."
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, withdrew his sword, and said calmly——
"By the way, your majesty's eldest son seems to be quite filial. He is ready to invade the palace to rescue you. Let's prepare to welcome His Highness King Qin."
Then, Cang Qiao put on his gloves and casually grabbed Emperor Ming's hair.
Like dragging a piece of garbage, he dragged Emperor Ming down to the ground casually and walked towards the front hall of Qingyun Palace.
...
The cold sound of horse hooves galloped through the streets, and the sound of countless iron armors clashing and the neat footsteps of soldiers echoed in the dark night of the capital city.
Every door in the capital was closed, and the air was filled with tension.
Occasionally, there was the scorching smell of burning flames in the distance, and the shouts of fighting at hand-to-hand combat, which made the people hiding in the room tremble.
"Kill--"
"The city gate can no longer be guarded!"
Under the south city gate, the fierce offensive and defensive battle did not even last for more than half an hour. The city gate was already completely occupied by people from both inside and outside.
Ling Bo, who was dressed in iron armor, immediately flew up and slashed down the goalkeeper who was refusing to retreat. Blood spattered on his cold and handsome face.
The man who was the number one expert around King Qin turned around and jumped back on his horse. He raised his sword coldly and signaled: "The guard is dead. Open the city gate and welcome His Highness into the city!"
The troops of the Prince of Qin, who were fighting fiercely with the defenders, cheered loudly when they saw this. Many people simply gave up fighting with the defenders, not afraid of being attacked by a surprise attack due to the open door behind them.
They turned around and rushed to push away the corpses of the defenders on the noose at the city gate and pulled up the noose with all their strength.
The south city gate slowly opened, and the soldiers outside the city gate who were holding hammers to hit the city gate all rushed in with shouts.
"kill!!"
The defenders who had panicked when they saw the general's death were crushed by the soldiers from the north and south camps who rushed in like a tide. They were completely unable to stop them and fled in all directions.
Wearing golden battle armor and wolf fur, King Qin rode his horse and carried a silver spear. With a solemn look on his face, he led the troops from the north and south camps into the city.
The North and South camps were originally the sphere of influence that the Zhou family had been operating for many years.
Although there were some loyal and upright generals who only mobilized troops after recognizing the Tiger Talisman, at this moment they had either been assassinated by the Zhou family, or they had all been captured by the King of Qin's people.
Now, all the 80,000 troops from the north and south camps that originally defended the capital were under the command of one man, King Shangguan Hongye of Qin.
"I respectfully welcome His Highness into the city!"
Ling Bo and a group of generals who supported King Qin all knelt down.
Shangguan Hongye looked at the dark red palace wall in the distance and said coldly: "Enter the palace!"
