However, their retreating bodies had not yet stabilized. Li Youran and the ninth-level Martial Saint warrior who had already rushed to the entrance of the hall gathered their extremely strong fighting spirit and punched the warriors who had not yet gained a firm foothold.
past.
"boom!"
The huge energy directly bombarded these dozen warriors back more than ten steps. At the same time, more than half of the warriors had vomited blood from their mouths, and the remaining three warriors of the Martial Saint level were also confused.
Their faces were pale with anger, and it was obvious that after this series of attacks, even though they were warriors who had reached the martial saint level, they still suffered serious internal injuries.
"Hmph." Li Ruohai and Du Shang glanced at each other, snorted coldly at the same time, and punched the warriors who were still standing still and still retreating towards them. At the same time, Huang Hai had already gathered his fighting spirit and punched.
He bombarded these warriors who were already a little overwhelmed.
"Bang."
Several warriors had just gathered some fighting spirit to form a defense, but they were forcibly blown away by Li Ruohai's punch. They saw three or four more warriors being knocked to the ground.
However, Li Youran and the Martial Saint's punch followed them once again with a powerful energy storm that struck them from behind.
"puff!"
They could no longer withstand such bombardments of energy. The three martial saints who had suffered internal injuries spurted out a large mouthful of blood at the same time. Their bodies were bombarded by this huge energy and they retreated backwards.
Bu Yuan happened to be delivered to Li Ruohai and the others.
And those warriors who were not as strong as them at the Martial Lord level had all fallen to the ground and could not get up because they could not bear the continuous bombardment of such huge energy.
Without even a single frown, Li Ruohai and the others had already placed their palms on the chests of these three martial saints.
Before the three martial saints had time to activate their fighting energy, they were beaten again and flew backwards. They stopped breathing when they landed on the ground.
At this time, Nangong Aotian and the others had also walked out.
"General Hong, I'll leave these people to you." Looking at the warriors on the ground, Nangong Aotian immediately said to Hong Chengchou.
"Take them all down, you can do whatever you want." Hong Chengchou immediately called over one of his subordinates and gave the order simply.
"Yes." The subordinates responded and together with several guards, they carried down the warriors who had fallen to the ground.
Without asking how Hong Chengchou would treat these people, Nangong Aotian turned around and walked into the hall again.
At this time, the ministers hiding in a corner of the hall had begun to discuss among themselves. Of course, what they were discussing at this time was what kind of situation they would encounter next.
"Everyone, everyone has seen what happened today, and I don't want to say anything more. I think you have clearly seen the matter of His Royal Highness the First Prince and His Highness the Second Prince's succession, and I won't say more. I
I think you should now have a clear idea of who is the real successor chosen by His Majesty the late Emperor?" Nangong Aotian looked at these ministers and said.
"We respectfully abide by the decree of His Majesty the Late Emperor and support His Highness the Third Prince as the Emperor of our Chinese Empire." At this time, two ministers of the court stood up and knelt down to Liu Dingguo. This was the etiquette for welcoming the new emperor.
"We respectfully abide by His Majesty the Late Emperor's decree and support His Highness the Third Prince as the Emperor of our Chinese Empire." Finally, the ministers in the hall began to express their positions one after another.
"Everyone, get up first. It's chaotic outside now. For everyone's safety, please don't leave here yet." Liu Dingguo stood up at this time and said, "You are all the mainstays of our Chinese Empire. In the past, some people may have been deceived by traitors, so
Doing some things that violate national laws. Let me tell you here that I don’t intend to pursue these things too much, but if similar things happen again in the future, then we can no longer condone them.”
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful." All the ministers felt relieved at this time.
"Okay, it's late at night now. It's really uneasy outside at this time. For everyone's safety, you'd better not go out in this hall for now. You can also take me to observe filial piety for my father, which is also a good thing.
The filial piety of your ministers." Liu Dingguo thought for a while and said.
"I respectfully obey your Majesty's orders." At this time, the ministers saluted Liu Dingguo again.
"Third brother, I...I also want to keep my filial piety for my father here." Liu Mengying walked out and said at this time.
"This." Liu Dingguo looked towards Nangong Aotian with some hesitation. Of course, he was a little worried about Liu Mengying's safety at this time.
"Okay, you can just stay." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said, "Master's wife, can you stay with Ying'er here? I'm a little worried about her being here alone.
"Okay." Luo Cailing nodded and said.
"I'll leave Panpan and Storm Chaser here too. If you have anything, you can ask Storm Chaser to inform me." Nangong Aotian said, patting the two little monsters on his shoulders.
"Yes." Liu Mengying nodded lightly and said, "You have to be careful yourself."
"Okay." Nangong Aotian nodded.
"Duke Nangong, shall we leave now?" Hong Chengchou came over and said.
"The rebels in the imperial capital have been basically wiped out, but there are only more than 10,000 people. Now we have to look at the mighty army outside the imperial capital." Hong Chengchou said immediately.
"Okay. Immediately order people to set up defenses all over the walls of the imperial capital. At the same time, immediately order people to guard the surrounding city gates. I think the two princes must be in a hurry to leave the city at this time." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"What should we do next?" Liu Dingguo looked at Nangong Aotian and said, "Should we go to the palaces of my two brothers first?"
"Okay. Now I really need to go to their palace to have a look." Nangong Aotian nodded in agreement and said.
"Then my subordinates are going to set up the city defense." Hong Chengchou said and was already walking outside.
"Duke Nangong, didn't you say that the Huwei Army has been controlled by the eldest prince and the second prince? Why don't you want to take countermeasures now?" Zhou Qingquan reminded at the side, "You must know that there are more than 400,000 people. They are still from the empire.
An elite army."
"Yes, they will definitely not let this matter go. Once they leave the city, they will definitely mobilize troops to attack the city." Liu Dingguo also frowned and said, "Isn't our imperial capital's military strength insufficient at this time?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I think they will attack the city soon. And they will probably gather at the Imperial Capital City in the early morning. After all, this is their last chance to seize the Imperial Capital," Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "But
There’s no need to worry about any of this because I’ve already arranged everything in advance.”
"Without soldiers, how do you arrange it? This is an army of more than 400,000 people. Aotian, this is no joke." Xiang Tianming looked at Nangong Aotian and asked in confusion.
"We'd better quickly go to the palace of the two royal highnesses. Then we'll go to the city wall of the imperial capital to have a look at the situation outside. It's useless to be anxious now. Besides, the two princes may not have rushed outside the city yet.
Even if he mobilizes an army to attack the city, it will be tomorrow morning." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
Looking at Nangong Aotian's relaxed expression, Liu Dingguo knew that Nangong Aotian must have made arrangements, so he was not too anxious.
