Inside the palace!

In the court hall, hundreds of civil and military officials stood quietly.

A depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire hall.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, King Qin's army of 300,000 has arrived outside the city!"

As a rapid report came, the originally tense atmosphere in the entire court dissipated a lot at this moment.

All the ministers' faces were visibly excited, and a glimmer of hope began to shine in their gloomy and desperate eyes.

"Send the order!"

"Let all King Qin's army attack the city wall regardless of all costs!"

"Capture the rebel Zhou Zheng and King Runan!"

"The counterinsurgency is over, I will be rewarded heavily!"

Emperor Tianjing was also unusually excited at this time.

In the past few days, the situation in Kyoto was no longer under the control of the imperial court. Crisis was everywhere, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat well.

But now, his eyes were wide open, and the murderous intention in his words was not concealed.

Zhou Zheng lost this battle after all!

"Zhou Zheng rebels, and King Runan wants to join in the fun!"

"Then fight!"

"I want everyone in the world to know that this world belongs to me!"

"No one is qualified to get involved except me!"

The roaring voice was filled with endless anger and murderous intent. He had been holding this tone for a long time!

He has decided that as long as he catches Zhou Zheng and King Runan, his life will be worse than death.

We must let them know that touching the imperial power and challenging the imperial power is the most regretful thing they have done in their lives!

"His Majesty!"

But just when Emperor Tianjing was thinking about what to do after the great victory, the voice of the Minister of War sounded at an inappropriate time.

"The entire imperial city is blocked and the news cannot get out."

Buzz! ! !

These words were undoubtedly a bombshell, and all the ministers in the court were stunned.

"The Kyoto Yamen has been completely controlled by Zhou Zheng."

"The Imperial City Secretary who was placed in Kyoto has been uprooted by Zhou Zheng in the past two days."

"All channels of communication between the imperial court and the outside world are almost gone."

Gritting his teeth, the words of the Minister of War made Emperor Tianjing, who was originally excited, suddenly darken his face, and the hearts of all the ministers also started beating again!

At this moment, they suddenly woke up!

Why didn’t Zhou Zheng attack the palace in these two days?

It's not that he is afraid, but that he wants to completely pull out all the eyes of the imperial court.

He wants to make the palace completely blind and deaf!

What a ruthless strategy!

"Your Majesty, there are still guards in the palace, as well as our civil and military ministers!"

"As long as we hold on for a few days and wait until the reinforcements break through the city, everything will be settled!"

The Minister of Rites stood up and comforted everyone.

Although the situation is tense at the moment, the court is not in a certain death situation!

The 300,000 troops outside the city are their hope and their confidence!

"That's right!"

"King Runan and Zhou Zheng only have 30,000 to 50,000 people now. They don't have any chance!"

"Your Majesty, victory must belong to us!"

In the court hall, the officials were in high spirits.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, it's quiet outside the city."

"The first wave of reinforcements' attack has been repelled."

But there was another voice of report, which made everyone's expressions change again.

All the ministers had disbelief in their eyes. They shook their heads and looked panicked!

How is this possible with an army of three hundred thousand? !

Only Emperor Tianjing frowned. He knew better than anyone else that the walls of Kyoto were high and deep, and coupled with Zhou Zheng's repeated crossbows, breaking through the city walls would not happen overnight.

However, he is not in a hurry at this time!

"Send the order!"

"Let the imperial guards guard the palace gate!"

"All the servants in the palace are armed to prepare for emergencies!"

"Even if it's me, I still have to keep my armor close to my body!"

Emperor Tianjing slowly stood up from the dragon chair. His eyes were bright and he decisively gave orders one after another.

As a generation of emperors, he has experienced countless things.

He knows better than anyone else that in this situation, it depends on who can endure it!

The one who survives to the end is the biggest winner!

"We and I swear to live and die with the imperial court!"

Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials knelt down and worshiped Emperor Tianjing.

No matter which camp they usually stand in, but at this time they have only one goal, and that is to win this battle!

After all, they were once Zhou Zheng's mortal enemies!

The officials who looked at it were united, and Emperor Tianjing just breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, Emperor Tianjing's eyelids kept twitching.

The inner uneasiness did not calm down because of the arrival of an army of 300,000 people.

On the contrary, he became increasingly irritable.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Just when Emperor Tianjing looked exhausted and tried to suppress the panic in his heart, a rapid voice came again.

I saw the imperial guard who was delivering the message, with a panicked look on his face, his steps already disordered, and he even accidentally fell onto the court on the spot.

But he didn't care about his behavior at this time. Instead, he knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing and said something that shocked all the officials in the court!

"Zhou Zheng leads an army of ten thousand and is galloping towards the palace!"

"At most a quarter of an hour, we have a chance to reach the palace!"

Hiss, hiss! ! !

At this moment, the civil and military officials could no longer maintain their previous calmness.

They kept gasping for air, their hearts beating faster, and they were visibly panicking.

What's more, his legs became weak and he collapsed directly in the court hall.

Everyone present knew Zhou Zheng’s temperament very well!

To the enemy, he really kills without blinking an eye and shows no mercy.

Once they fall into Zhou Zheng's hands, their life or death will be a trivial matter!

I'm afraid that none of the clansmen behind them will survive!

"Bastard!"

"What are you panicking about!?"

"Just ten thousand people, do you think they can break through my palace?!"

Seeing this, Emperor Tianjing flicked his sleeves and angrily scolded the officials!

"Right now, there are only 30,000 King Runan's troops on the walls of Kyoto. Do you think King Runan can stop him!?"

"Zhou Zheng is a traitor. He is just desperate now and wants to fight to the death!"

"The more he behaves like this, the more it means that his road has come to an end!"

Emperor Tianjing laughed in anger, his face was a little ferocious, but his heart was burning!

"That's right!"

"Ministers, there are still more than 3,000 Imperial Guards in our court!"

"There's still the last bit of black powder left!"

"A mere ten thousand people are not enough evidence!"

"As long as we wait until the army breaks through the city, we can turn things around and win!"

Zhou Fan was equally excited at this time.

He appropriately comforted the ministers and patted his chest to reassure them.

......

Outside the palace!

Zhou Zheng, Zhou Ping, Gong Tan, Gan Mo and others have surrounded the palace!

Looking at the towering palace building, everyone's heartbeats accelerated a lot!

Separated by a wall, it's heaven and hell!

"Boss!"

Zhou Ping swallowed his saliva, but his eyes began to twinkle!

Are the gears of fate finally starting to turn? !
