With Gong Dian personally leading the guards, he naturally wasn't too afraid.
Before Gong Dian could speak, someone shouted, "Who goes there? Get out of the way! If you disturb His Highness Prince Yong's marriage, you'll pay with your life!"
"Pooh!"
The newcomer said with a disdainful look, "What kind of bullshit Prince Yong is he? I, Ye Ling'er, am not afraid of him at all. Wan'er will not marry him today!"
"I said, no one can change my mind!"
Gong Dian rode forward, his face cold. "Miss Ye, this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. Even if your father were here, he couldn't stop it. If you ask me, Miss Ye, you'd better not bring trouble upon the Ye family, lest you regret it later!"
Chapter 127 The Battle of Kyoto! What makes you think you can deal with the Crown Prince?
Ye Ling'er hesitated for a moment.
She herself was naturally not afraid.
But how could she feel at ease if the Ye family were punished by His Majesty because of her?
However, to make her watch helplessly as her best friend is forced to marry someone else...
How could she possibly turn a blind eye?
Not to mention, they both like the same person.
At that moment, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
A perfectly legitimate crown prince, the heir apparent of a nation, not only impersonating Si Gu Jian's disciple, but also insisting on going on a diplomatic mission to another country.
Is it all for that vixen-like courtesan, Si Lili?
Ye Ling'er felt anger, resentment, and jealousy.
But in the end, it transformed into the steadfastness I feel now.
Since he's not here, she'll protect everything that belongs to him.
Just then,
With a soft sigh, Ye Zhong stepped out from the crowd.
Since Ye Liuyun became a guest minister of the Crown Prince, the Ye family has...
Thus, he was firmly bound to the Crown Prince.
Now that Ye Liuyun is gone...
As the current head of the Ye family in Kyoto,
Ye Zhong naturally couldn't just stand by and watch the Crown Prince's woman marry someone else.
The situation in the imperial court was beyond saving.
Even Lin Ruofu was dismissed from his post as prime minister because of this matter, let alone him.
To prevent Lin Wan'er from getting married,
Naturally, the only option left is to directly kidnap the person.
However, he had not planned to come forward so openly beforehand, but rather to act secretly.
As a result, when he saw his daughter rush out unexpectedly...
Then I knew that the plan had changed.
He looked at Gong Dian and said, "Do you know what consequences your actions today will bring?"
Leaving aside Ye Liuyun,
The crown prince himself was a grandmaster.
(a) 737 Liu Liu 6
Bai Qi, who rose to prominence in the army on the border.
He was also a grandmaster who could break through a city with a single sword.
Three Grandmasters—such power!
To be honest, Ye Zhong didn't understand what Emperor Qing was thinking.
She was eager to marry her son's woman to her other son.
Is it so that they will fight each other to the death?
But how can Fan Xian, the Prince of Yong, possibly contend with the Eastern Palace, which boasts three Grandmaster-level warriors?
Is Emperor Qing truly confident in withstanding the wrath from the Eastern Palace?
Gong Dian's expression darkened slightly.
He was well aware of the power of the Eastern Palace, especially that young Crown Prince.
If he could, he would not want to offend the Crown Prince.
He looked at Ye Zhong and said slowly, "The emperor's command is difficult to disobey."
Ye Zhong smiled and said, "Then I'll have to experience Commander Gong's skills!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
Hundreds of cold-faced assassins immediately emerged from the crowd.
They looked even more terrifying than the palace guards brought by Gong Dian.
The crowd of Qing Kingdom citizens who had gathered to watch the spectacle witnessed this scene.
They were immediately frightened and retreated to a distance.
Before long, the street went from being incredibly bustling to becoming somewhat deserted.
Not far away, Fan Xian watched this scene, hesitant to speak.
However, his gaze was incredibly complex, and he ultimately chose to remain silent.
He knew that this was perhaps exactly what Emperor Qing wanted to see.
And in the current situation
It's very likely just a simple opening.
Gong Dian looked at the hundreds of Ye family assassins swarming towards him.
Despite appearing to be in a vulnerable position, they showed no fear.
He looked around and shouted, "Is anyone else here?"
Ye Zhong looked at Gong Dian, who seemed to have something to say, and his expression hardened.
At this moment, from behind the wedding procession, Wang Qinian slowly approached with over a hundred people from the Censorate.
They formed an encirclement around Ye Zhong.
Gong Dian glanced calmly at Wang Qinian, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
In his view, Wang Qinian, along with the hundred or so men behind him, were nothing more than a rabble.
"Oh, what's wrong? Dean Chen isn't here?"
His contempt was palpable.
The only people who truly fear the Control Yuan are Chen Pingping and his infamous Black Riders.
The rest are just worthless dregs.
Wang Qinian said coldly, "You don't need the dean to get involved in dealing with you."
"Just you?"
Gong Dian laughed heartily, but the next second, his smile vanished.
He glanced down at Wang Qinian, Ye Zhong, and the others with a somewhat condescending air.
"This is Kyoto, where His Majesty is the only supreme ruler. You are all traitors and rebels!"
He clapped his hands, and in an instant, the entire street, and every building and alleyway, resonated with his hand.
Countless archers peered out.
He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, locking onto Wang Qinian, Ye Zhong, and the others.
An invisible, sharp edge, a murderous intent.
In an instant, it enveloped everyone's hearts.
The elite archers of the Imperial Guard had been lying in ambush on either side of them for some time now.
Not only that,
It's not just this one street,
As the wedding procession passed through each street, imperial guards poured out, heading towards this place.
Gong Dian smiled faintly and said, "His Majesty had long anticipated that there would be treacherous officials disrupting the wedding ceremony. I had already arranged for people to lie in ambush in various places. I wonder if the two of you are satisfied with this surprise?"
In an instant, the tide of battle turned.
It was Ye Zhong and Wang Qinian who ended up being surrounded.
Under the aim of countless arrows,
The feeling of being constantly on someone's back made Ye Ling'er's face turn slightly pale.
She gritted her teeth, a hint of guilt rising in her heart.
She felt that it was because of her foolishness,
That's why her father would take such a desperate gamble and bring people here to snatch her away.
She dismounted and stood in front of Ye Zhong.
He gripped the riding whip tightly, his face full of stubbornness.
Ye Zhong gently patted Ye Ling'er's shoulder without saying anything more.
He reached out and pulled her behind him.
Looking at the imposing Imperial Guards around him, his expression grew increasingly solemn.
