Chapter 68: Absolutely Cold Field
"What is he saying?"

"How can this be?"

"Prince Rui has also rebelled?"

The words of the white-armored general made the temperature of the entire Zhenghua Hall drop by dozens of degrees, and the last trace of blood on everyone's face disappeared completely.

"what?"

Lin Han stood up suddenly, his usually calm face full of disbelief, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Prince Rui... led 60,000 Youyan troops, broke through the East City Gate and entered the Imperial Capital!"

The white-armored general's voice became lower and lower, and he almost didn't dare to look at Lin Han's eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

silence!

The scene was deathly silent!

Everyone felt as if their throats were being strangled by an invisible hand, not even daring to breathe.

Qin Wujie's rebellion was shocking, but he was far away in the northern border and out of reach. He could not threaten the safety of the imperial capital for a while.

But King Rui was different. The imperial capital was less than a hundred miles away from the palace, and a surprise attack with 60,000 elite troops was simply impossible to defend against.

"How could this be?"

"Prince Rui, why does he also want to rebel?"

"It's over, it's over!"

"It's the Queen Mother's birthday, and Prince Rui chose today. This... this... they clearly planned it all along!"

Everyone finally came back to their senses from their shock and began to talk among themselves, and the whole hall was in chaos.

Lin Han took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and shouted loudly: "Why panic? Although King Rui has rebelled, we still have the Imperial Guards and the City Defense Force. As long as..."

"Minister Lin, something bad has happened!"

At this time, an official ran in from outside in a panic, gasping for breath and said, "Oh no, the commander of the imperial guards... the commander of the imperial guards, General Zhao, he... he actually surrendered to King Rui!"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Lin Han felt a black screen before his eyes and he almost fainted on the spot.

The Imperial Guards are the last line of defense for the Imperial Palace. Even the commander of the Imperial Guards has surrendered. Then, can this palace still be defended?
"It's over, it's completely over!"

“Why did it become like this today?”

"Traitor, traitor!"

The hall suddenly became a mess, with people cursing and some officials even collapsed to the ground in fear. Feces and urine were flowing everywhere, and a foul smell filled the air.

Ouyang Jingrui chose to take action today after careful consideration, because during the birthday banquet, the defense inside and outside the imperial capital was relatively lax, and most of the elite troops would be deployed to ensure the security of the banquet to celebrate Empress Dowager Ruihua.

Ouyang Jingrui took advantage of this opportunity and marched in with 60,000 Youyan troops directly to the imperial city, hoping to gain the upper hand when the empress was unprepared.

This is also a psychological tactic. For the ministers in the court, encountering rebellion at a time when they are gathering together will inevitably lead to the spread of panic and shake their minds.

Ouyang Jingrui also hoped to cause chaos through this move, weaken these people's will to resist, and thus win more supporters for himself.

The choice made on this day was both an outburst of his personal ambition and the result of Ouyang Jingrui's self-belief in his accurate judgment of the timing.

"Charge forward and kill them! Anyone who stands in my way today will be killed without mercy!"

Ouyang Jingrui suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist, exuding the aura of a mid-stage Martial Emperor. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the city guards blocking the way ahead, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Kill!"

Following an order from King Rui, Ouyang Jingrui, the soldiers behind him rushed towards the city guards in front like tigers descending from the mountains.

The 60,000 Youyan troops rushed forward like a black torrent. Thousands of city guards hastily formed a defensive formation. However, under the impact of the 60,000 Youyan troops, their resistance seemed fragile, like a candle in a strong wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

The city guards were defeated by the fierce attack of the Youyan army, suffering heavy casualties. The ground was stained with blood, broken limbs were everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Ouyang Jingrui held a long sword in his hand, like a god of death. Wherever he passed, corpses were everywhere, and no one could stop him.

There was a crazy light flashing in his eyes and a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was enjoying this feast of killing.

"Kill one person and you'll get a reward... Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the Youyan Army were like chickens with their blood pumped up, hacking and killing the enemies in front of them frantically. They had only one belief in their hearts: kill all those who stood in their way, break into the palace, and enthronize King Rui!

As the Youyan Army was about to break through the last line of defense of the imperial city, the air was filled with a suffocating smell of blood and despair spread in the eyes of the trembling palace maids and eunuchs.

At this moment, a tall and thin figure slowly walked into the center of the battlefield.

Although the figure walked slowly, he was like a towering mountain, emitting an invisible pressure that made Ouyang Jingrui feel a little uneasy.

"Yeah, Wei Yang!"

Ouyang Jingrui suddenly reined in his horse, staring with his eyes as sharp as torches at the figure that suddenly appeared not far away.

Wei Yang didn't say anything, but just gently clasped his hands together. The temperature around him dropped suddenly, and the mist condensed into snowflakes, falling down one after another.

"Absolutely cold field, open!"

With Wei Yang's low shout, the ground within a hundred feet with him as the center was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost. The Youyan soldiers who rushed up were directly frozen into ice sculptures, and they still maintained terrified expressions before they died.

Within the domain, Wei Yang can manipulate low temperatures at will and freeze everything around him.

Even flowing air can instantly solidify into ice crystals, forming a sharp iceberg, posing a deadly threat to the enemy.

He just waved his arms, and immediately a biting cold wind blew up, condensing into dozens of sharp ice blades out of thin air in front of him, emitting a chilling air.

Wei Yang pushed his right hand forward suddenly, and dozens of sharp ice blades shot out suddenly.

"Uh ah ah..."

Screams rang out one after another. The Youyan soldiers who were rushing in the front were pierced through the body by ice blades before they could react. They fell in a pool of blood, no longer able to breathe.

The blood dyed the frost on the ground red, creating a shocking picture.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to freeze rapidly, forming a horizontal path that blocked King Rui, Ouyang Jingrui and others.

"Your Highness, Prince Rui, please stop."

Wei Yang's already feminine voice now sounded even colder, echoing in the imperial city filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Ouyang Jingrui sneered disdainfully: "Wei Yang, you are just a eunuch, and you dare to point fingers in front of me."

There was a flash of contempt in his eyes, as if he was looking at an ant who didn't know his own limits. "I knew that a dog slave like you would definitely come out to get in the way. Do you think I would be unprepared?"

After saying this, Ouyang Jingrui turned around abruptly and shouted behind him: "What are you waiting for? It's time for you to take action..."

Before he finished his words, four dark shadows appeared from behind Ouyang Jingrui like ghosts and quickly surrounded Wei Yang.
