As Fang Zigui spoke, he gestured to the palace attendant at the door. The next moment, the door of the hall slowly opened, revealing several rows of strong guards.They were all wearing heavy armor, and the spears in their hands shone with an intimidating cold light. They stood outside with a heavy imposing manner, like an insurmountable wall.

"If you want to walk out of this hall, you must first ask my soldiers if they agree."

When the officials saw this, their expressions changed at first, and then they became furious. Fang Zigui shouted: "Fang Zigui, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel by imprisoning us and other imperial officials here?"

Fang Zigui gently blew the tea foam in the cup and wrote lightly: "What I want to do is none of your business. As long as you are obedient and stay here until dawn tomorrow, and don't try to cause trouble, I will take care of it." Let you out."

"Fang Zigui, you are brave!"

Qian Xun didn't accept his tactics at all, and his face turned red with anger: "When His Majesty is critically ill, you locked us all up here. I think you are clearly hiding evil intentions and intending to rebel!"

"I am an official of the imperial court. I am just a few warriors wielding swords and guns. You want to trap me? I have to go out from here today. I want to see what you do!"

Qian Xun flicked his sleeves and strode towards the door. The guards frowned slightly when they saw this, and crossed their spears in front of him: "Please, Master Qian, please don't embarrass us."

"I'm making things difficult for you? Damn you!" Qian Xun's bullish temper was so lawless that he spat hard, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly whose order you are listening to now! As palace guards, what you eat is... The royal stipend is just a disloyal servant, but you are willing to listen to the thieves!"

"If you don't let me out, I have to go out. I want to see how many of you have the guts to stop me Qian Xun. If you can, kill me!"

After saying that, Qian Xun closed his eyes and hit the guard's spear straight.

The guards were shocked when they saw this. Of course they couldn't really kill him like this. They quickly put their spears back, but they couldn't let Qian Xun out, so they had to look at Fang Zigui in embarrassment: "Sir..."

"Humph, you're stubborn!" Fang Zigui's face darkened, and he placed the cup heavily on the table, "Someone, bring them up!"

The side door of the main hall slowly opened, and dozens of women, children, old and weak, who were being escorted by soldiers, suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Their hands and feet were all tied up, and their mouths were stuffed with veils. They tried their best but could not break free, so they had to Weeping weakly.

After receiving Fang Zigui's signal, the soldiers took out the handkerchiefs from their mouths, and cries instantly filled the entire hall:

"Husband—"

"Dad! Save me! The child is scared..."

"My son..."

The officials were horrified when they saw this, and their calmness disappeared. They were busy comforting and confirming the situation. They were in a state of panic for a while:

"...Madam?! Why are you here? Did Fang Zigui capture you?"

"Son, don't be afraid. Son, don't be afraid...Daddy is here..."

"Mother, my child is unfilial! It will make you suffer!"

Qian Xun's eyes caught a kind-faced middle-aged woman in the crowd. His face turned pale in an instant and he rushed over: "Mother!"

"Xun'er!" The woman subconsciously wanted to run towards Qian Xun, but was stopped by the soldier behind her. As she was struggling, a cold dagger suddenly touched the side of his neck.

The soldier put his knife against her neck and said to Qian Xun in a pitiful voice: "Master Qian, if you take one more step forward, your mother's life will be decided here." Qian Xun suddenly stopped and said: He dared to lean forward a little further and looked at his mother who was crying. He was close to collapse. He turned to Fang Zigui and roared: "Fang Zigui, what on earth do you want to do!"

"If you want to kill or chop me, come at me. Why are you arresting my mother? Why don't you just let her go!"

Seeing that their relatives who should have stayed at home appeared here and could be in danger at any time, all the officials were in chaos and excitedly asked Fang Zi to release his family members.

Fang Zigui looked confident: "As Mr. Qian said, all the princes are important ministers of Daxia and the mainstay of the court. If you want to fight against me, there is nothing I can do. I can't really kill you all." ? Even the imperial court will be paralyzed."

"As a last resort, I have no choice but to 'invite' your family members. For their sake, I ask you to stay calm and avoid causing trouble."

"After all, my request is not too much. I just hope that you will stay here honestly. After dawn tomorrow, you will naturally be able to reunite with your family safely. Otherwise..."

Fang Zigui smiled, but his words were cold and biting: "I have no choice but to let them go ahead and wait for you on the road to hell."

"Fang Zigui, you are despicable! You traitor, I will fight with you!"

Hearing this, Qian Xun lost his mind instantly. Before he could rush out, his father Qian Song pushed him back and shouted: "Qian Xun, calm down! Don't you care about your mother's life?"

Seeing his wife with a knife held to her neck, Qian Song's heart hurt, but he had no choice but to hold his impulsive son with red eyes: "If you are impulsive, there will be bitter consequences for you in the future. You should think about your mother at least. …”

"Father, mother, she...I..." Qian Xun burst into tears, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, and he collapsed on the ground.

With their weakness being exploited, the officials no longer dared to act rashly and could only endure and stay in the hall.

-

In the palace, Emperor Jingfeng was weak and held on for his last breath, but he could not wait for the arrival of Baiguan and Li Jinze.

"Ahem, cough, cough... It's been almost two hours, why haven't the officials come into the palace... and the prince hasn't come either..."

Cheng Yan's heart sank, and he subconsciously comforted him: "The imperial prison is far away. Even if we rush to the palace, it will take two or three hours... As for the officials, there may be something delayed. Your Majesty will wait. wait……"

"I can't wait anymore...cough cough cough!" Emperor Jingfeng suddenly became excited and coughed violently several times, "If you don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore..."

Cheng Yan hurriedly smoothed his chest and felt something was wrong.

He glanced at the palace door, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart - it seemed too quiet outside.

"I will send two people to urge him again." After saying that, Cheng Yan helped Emperor Jingfeng lie down and walked out of the palace.

However, Cheng Yan had only taken a few steps when his feet suddenly stopped and a long sword appeared in front of him, pointing directly at his face.

Cheng Yan's body froze slightly, staring closely into the eyes of the sword holder. He had no choice but to raise his hands and slowly retreat step by step.

Li Jinche held the sword and pushed Cheng Yan back inch by inch, with a playful expression on his face: "Mr. Cheng, please be careful. My sword doesn't have eyes. It would be bad if someone accidentally cuts your neck." ”
