The Empress Dowager looked at him fearlessly. “Come on! Kill me!”

The King of the Southern Wilderness held his sword and pointed it at the Empress Dowager. His killing intent soared, and he endured his anger until his entire arm was trembling.

“Your Majesty, ” Xie Jinnian said. “They’ve attacked the outer hall and will attack soon. Please evacuate as soon as possible.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness looked at the Empress Dowager with a burning gaze and coldly retracted his sword. “Bring the Empress Dowager along!”

The Empress Dowager roared, “I said that I won’t leave!”

The King of the Southern Wilderness turned around and wiped his red face before turning to look at the Empress Dowager again. “What’s so good about that good-for-nothing being the king? Only I can inherit the late emperor’s will! Only I can restore the country!”

The Empress Dowager asked sadly, “What country? The previous dynasty died

long ago!”

The King of the Southern Wilderness stopped arguing with her and gave the leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards a look.

The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards understood and went forward to tap the Empress Dowager’s acupoint.

Under the Empress Dowager’s sharp gaze, he said, “I’ve offended you.” He covered the Empress Dowager with his cloak and carried her on his shoulder. The King of the Southern Wilderness said to Xie Jinnian, “Jinnian, let’s go too.”

Xie Jinnian said, “Your Majesty, leave first. I’ll go get something.”

The King of the Nanjiang frowned, clearly not satisfied that he still had the mood to care about other things at this juncture.

However, he was still his most trusted eunuch. The King of the Southern Wilderness sent two Ghost Shadow Guards to protect him.

Xie Jinnian was doted on and had a quiet small courtyard in Chengde Hall.

He returned to the small courtyard to get his birdcage. The black crow was inside, but the parrot was not.

The little parrot was used to being unrestrained in the palace and did not return until it was time to eat.

Xie Jinnian blew the whistle that was usually used to summon the parrot.

When Wuhu heard the whistle, he really flapped their small wings and flew back.

Xie Jinnian put it into a bird cage, covered it with a black cloth, and went to meet up with the King of the Southern Border.

The King of the Southern Wilderness escaped Chengde Hall under the escort of many Ghost Shadow Guards.

Wei Ting came to the palace to look for Su Xiaoxiao.

The gates of the palace had been occupied by the two tribes.

Wei Ting was among them. He took out the token that the Yin family head had given him and asked if the Saintess and the Cheng family’s young master had come out.

The guard said, “We just changed shifts. I’m not sure.”

It was Yin Chongshan’s trusted guard’s fault for being too meticulous. To order not to be followed, he prepared two sets of palace maid clothes for Su Xiaoxiao and the Holy Maiden before leaving the palace. He only took them off after getting into the carriage.

Wei Ting said, “I’ll go in and look.”

The guard looked at his bleeding arm and hesitated, making way for him.

Wei Ting searched around but could not find anyone. He almost bumped into the Great Zhou envoy who had come out to gather information.

Fortunately, he had changed his appearance.

He was worried that the little fat peacock had been captured by the King of the Southern Wilderness’ Ghost Shadow Guards and went to Chengde Hall. He happened to see the King of the Southern Wilderness fighting his way out of the forces of the two tribes under the escort of the Ghost Shadow Guards.

There were not many Ghost Shadow Guards. It was impossible for them to kill these thousands of people. They would be exhausted to death.

However, it was not difficult to break through.

“Archers!”

The leader of the Azure Dragon Tribe ordered.

Because they did not know that the person on the leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards was the Empress Dowager, they did not have any scruples when shooting arrows.

Rows of arrows shot towards the King of the Southern Wilderness and the others.

The Ghost Shadow Guard picked up the shield in his hand and blocked the arrows.

One fell at Wei Ting’s feet.

Wei Ting thought for a moment and quietly dragged him to the rockery. He took off the other party’s armor and changed into it. Then, he took off the other party’s wooden token and put it on.

When the Azure Dragon Division launched the second round of arrows at the King of the Southern Wilderness, there was suddenly an abnormal movement behind him.

It was actually a Ghost Shadow Guard who had been knocked down by the injured imperial guards, and a crack appeared on his shield.

The arrow was about to hit him.

Suddenly, another imperial guard cut off the arrow!

The King of the Southern Border heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked deeply at this imperial guard.

After retreating to the cold palace, he called the other party over. ‘What’s your name?”

Wei Ting said the name on the wooden tablet. “Jiang Feng.”

“How long have you been in the royal army?”

“Three years.”

The King of the Southern Wilderness said, “Follow me in the future.”

Wei Ting cupped his fists. “Yes!”

Actually, that arrow just now could not hit the King of the Southern Border at all. He had only feinted and made the King of the Southern Border think that he had been saved.

The group left the cold palace. The Ghost Shadow Guards had long been there to receive them.

Wei Ting was the only royal guard who came out alive. The rest were either killed or captured.

There were three carriages in total.

An unconscious woman lay on the first carriage.

Wei Ting glanced through the curtain. It was Cheng Lian.

The King of the Southern Wilderness brought Xie Jinnian and his birdcage into the second carriage.

The leader of the Ghost Shadow Guards placed the Empress Dowager, who was covered by a cloak, in the last carriage.

Seeing how cautious the other party was, Wei Ting could almost guess that the person was the Empress Dowager.

He planned to walk towards the Empress Dowager’s carriage.

“You drive the carriage,” the King of the Southern Border said to Wei Ting.

‘Yes!”

Wei Ting could only turn back and take the whip from a Ghost Shadow Guard.

They did not catch the little fat peacock. The little fat peacock should have escaped.

However, they had taken the Empress Dowager away. This meant that the King of the Southern Wilderness had not given up and still had the intention of returning to the throne.

After counting just now, there were a total of 30 Ghost Shadow Guards.

It was unrealistic to assassinate the King of the Southern Wilderness under the noses of so many experts.

The best way was to leave a secret signal for Big Brother and Second Brother and let them bring the Black-armored Guards over to exterminate them. However, there were Ghost Shadow Guards everywhere, so he could not find a chance to leave a secret signal for the time being.

At the Cheng family.

Just as they reached the door, they bumped into Yin Chongshan. Over the past few days, the brothers had met Yin Chongshan in private.

“Lord Yin,” Ghostfear greeted.

Yin Chongshan cupped his hands. “Lord Ghostfear, Sixth Young Master, I’m here to see His Majesty.”

Zongzheng Ming had already escaped. What to do next had to be shown by Zongzheng Ming.

Ghostfear said to Wei Liulang, “Bring Lord Yin in later.”

Wei Liulang said, “Oh.”

Ghostfear looked at Yin Chongshan and said, “By the way, Lord Yin, have you seen my seventh brother?”

Yin Chongshan said, “Ah, I heard from the Azure Dragon Tribe that a young man used my token to ask if the Saintess and Miss Cheng had left the palace. The guard didn’t know, so he went in to look for them himself. So it’s the Seventh Young Master? It’s strange. I didn’t see him in the palace.”

“Where’s Zongzheng Ming?” Ghost Scar asked.

Yin Chongshan grabbed his wrist. “He escaped with the Empress Dowager! My men went to follow him, but unfortunately, we lost him!” The two brothers exchanged glances.

Wei Liulang said awkwardly, “It can’t be what I’m thinking of…” Ghostfear clenched his fists. “I’m afraid it’s exactly that.”

That kid had run away with the King of the Southern Wilderness!

The most daring person in the family was not Little Six, but Wei Xichao!

The few little smelly farts were so bold. They were all imitating him!

Did he think that the Ghost Shadow Guards of the King of the Southern Wilderness were made of paper?

Did he want to die?

When Ghostfear caught him back, he would definitely beat him up!
