Mu Lianhua changed his pace, and attacked the commander of the guards before Ji Lan.

The sword body and the halberd met, and there was a piercing metal sound. The guards led the body to the other side, letting Mu Lianhua attack, and the halberd drew a sharp arc in the air, sweeping across.

Ji Lan didn't make a block, and took two steps back to stand behind Concubine Degui.

"Hiding behind a woman is nothing!" the guard commander taunted.

Ji Lan was behind Concubine Degui, holding her sword in front of Concubine Degui's neck, the blade of the sword lifted Concubine Degui's chin, and said: "I can't beat him, you tell him to stop."

On the one hand, she was afraid that Ji Lan's sword would hurt her, but on the other hand, she was glad that Ji Lan would also avoid the edge for the time being, so she and they would still have a chance to make a comeback.

Concubine Degui said: "When you are still afraid, then you should just obediently grab your hands and don't make useless struggles."

The commander of the guards raised the halberd and approached, Ji Lan stepped forward, put his hand on Concubine Degui's shoulder, and sent Concubine Degui towards the edge of the halberd.

Concubine Degui's cultivation base was sealed by a spell, and when the bright white cold blade of the commander of the guards approached, cold sweat broke out, her already fair face turned pale with fright, and she tried to stay calm.

The guard commanded the halberd to draw back his strength for the last time, and did not land the attack on Concubine Degui.

With the noble concubine Youde in front of her as a shield, the attack of the commander of the guards was blocked everywhere, and a lot of patience was worn out.

And Concubine Degui was also greatly troubled, whether her companion would abandon her in the next moment, let the cold halberd penetrate her body and take Ji Lan's life.

Han Gongyu was safe under the layers of protection of the soldiers brought by Mu Lianhua, and his gaze followed Ji Lan all the time.

Ji Lan and the commander of the guards had been alternating offense and defense. Concubine Youde was helping Ji Lan to block the commander of the guards from attacking. Because the guard commander took the halberd forcefully and gushed out blood.

The commander of the guards took two steps back, distanced himself from Ji Lan, took the medicinal powder from the Sanghai ring and sprinkled it on the wound, and the wound soon formed a layer of blood scab.

The commander of the guards swallowed two more pills, and his cultivation was raised by half a level. The tyrannical spiritual power was swung out with every move of the halberd, leaving a series of ravines on the ground of Tai'an Hall.

Even though Concubine Degui was in front, most of the attacks from the commander of the guards fell on Ji Lan. Ji Lan used her sword to block, and it was very difficult to block every blow, but the commander of the guards did not hurt Ji Lan at all. After a few rounds , the bodyguard commanded a new wound.

The commander of the guards swallowed the pill again, sprinkled the powder on the wound, and then looked at Concubine De Gui, making Concubine De Gui shiver uncontrollably, he was afraid that he was going to give up on her.

Sure enough, when he attacked again, even if Concubine Degui was in front, the trajectory of the long halberd did not deviate at all.

Ji Lan still used her as a shield, Concubine Degui's eyes widened slowly, and finally couldn't help screaming: "You can't kill me, I'm his junior sister!"

The face of the commander of the guards changed, he was afraid that Concubine De Gui would say more, and his subordinates would attack more fiercely.

Ji Lan dodged in front of Concubine De Gui, blocking the attack of the commander of the guards.

Fighting strength alone, Ji Lan was no match for the commander of the guards. After the confrontation, she retreated a few steps in a row to stabilize her figure.

The soldiers and horses of the northern wasteland capital were mobilized, and the soldiers and amulets were in the hands of both the emperor of the northern wasteland and the aristocratic family in the imperial court. At this time, more soldiers and horses surrounded the Tai'an Palace.

The eyes of the commander of the guards met with the generals of the four sects. Today's situation is very unfavorable to them, the situation is beyond their control, and even they themselves have to be prepared to die in Tai'an Hall.

The leader of the guards turned his gaze to Han Yi, the Emperor of the Northern Wilderness, and only then did he realize that since he entered the Tai'an Palace, he was led by Ji Lan's words. People are safe and sound.

Turning the blade of the halberd, the commander of the guards led four generals to attack in the direction where Han Yi was.

Fuze chased after the halberd's edge, and when he changed his steps, Ji Lan's figure suddenly appeared in front of Han Yi and his son.

Although he blocked the attack, Ji Lan's arm was numb from the shock, and the right hand holding Fuze was trembling.

With two fingers on the left hand, a black golden mantra appeared between Ji Lan's two fingers, using the spell technique to block the next round of attacks from the two generals.

"Fourth prince, take the emperor away." Ji Lan said.

Han Gongyu picked up the imperial decree that had just been printed on the jade seal, lifted Gong Yi from the seat, and left Tai'an Hall under the cover of soldiers and Ji Lan.

Seeing that Han Yi left Tai'an Hall under heavy obstruction, the soldiers and horses in charge of the capital's defense quickly protected Han Yi's regiment.

The emperor of the Northern Wilderness is safe, and these soldiers and horses who have listened to the order of the soldier talisman have less scruples, and also joined the battle, and the situation gradually stabilized.

......

At the end of the battle, the entire Tai'an Temple was in ruins, and the blood of the soldiers flowed down the steps.

The ministers who were called also rushed from the palace gate to the front of the Tai'an Hall. They all bowed down to Han Yi and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Ji Lan carried Fuze in her hand and walked out of the Tai'an Hall. The blood-stained black clothes were even darker, and her black hair, which was originally bundled up, fell down to her waist.

Concubine Degui and others were tied up and escorted from Tai'an Hall to Gong Yi.

When passing by Ji Lan, Concubine Degui slowed down and moved her lips, "You will pay for your loyalty."

"The one who died was worse than me, see you on Huangquan Road!"

The black hair hanging down to the sky covered the young man's beautiful face, so that Concubine Degui was escorted away before she could see the expression on Ji Lan's face.

Mu Lianhua supported Ji Lan's arm, and his eyes fell on the Emperor of the Northern Wilderness and the courtiers behind him for a moment. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't grasp the key point.

Supported by Mu Lianhua, Ji Lan walked up to the Emperor of the Northern Wilderness, supported the ground with his sword, knelt on one knee, and fainted before he could speak.

The fourth prince, Han Gongyu, read out the imperial decree, and Ji Lan was the chancellor of Beihuang.

After the imperial decree was read out, Emperor Gong Yi of the Northern Wilderness left on the pretext of being mentally exhausted, and all the courtiers looked at Ji Lan with different eyes.

When Ji Lan woke up, the Fourth Prince Han Gongyu was by his side.

It was getting dark outside the window, Han Gongyu fell asleep lying on his bedside, Ji Lan's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled lightly.

On the second day, Emperor Xuan Jilan of the Northern Wilderness entered the palace and summoned Ji Lan in Changning Hall.

The Emperor of the Northern Wilderness was wearing a dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and sat on the throne. After Ji Lan greeted him, he raised his hand to signal Ji Lan to stand up.

"You have worked hard these days." Gong Yi said.

"You should have doubts in your heart, just tell me, I will answer you one by one."

"Your Majesty, half of the military talismans to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the capital are in your hands."

"You are isolated and helpless in the palace because of Concubine Degui, you can use the military talisman in your hand, there is absolutely no need to wait for the minister to come back before doing it."

Gong Yi's gaze sank two points, and said: "You also know that only half of the soldier talisman is in Gu's hand, but there is still half of the soldier talisman."

"The children of the aristocratic family serve in the court, and the other part of the soldier talisman is in their hands."

"Do you want to tell Gu that if you gather the strength of the family, a mere noble concubine can't be the enemy of Gu?"

Ji Lan didn't speak.

Gong Yi continued: "But do you really think that the aristocratic family is really loyal to Gu, that they are all as loyal to Beihuang as your father?"

Saying that, Gong Yi stood up, touched Ji Lan's head lovingly, and said, "Good boy, they can use it, but you can't trust Gu, and you can't entrust Gu's life to them."

"I have been intoxicated in the gentleness of Concubine Degui for several years, and when I wake up, it will be too late."

"Gu can't even give an order. This huge imperial city is a cage made of gold."

"A solitary cultivator is all lost, he is like a useless person, and can't do anything."

Gong Yi's eyes were sad, his back seemed to be bent, which made the dragon robe even more heavy.

"But Gu is very pleased, even if the situation is unknown, you still choose to be loyal to Gu."

"Gu's body is useless, so I will give you my only bloodline, the fourth child." Gong Yi reconciled, and patted Ji Lan's hand to show his reliance.

"The fourth son is not useful now, and the other aristocratic families want you to deal with them. If you are alone with the status and status of the prime minister, you have to be the fourth son's shield to protect him from disasters."

......

Unlike the commander of the bodyguards and others, Concubine Degui has a noble status and is the royal wife of Gong Yi, so she was imprisoned in the Chaoyun Palace where she lived before.

Unlike before when Gong Yi came, Concubine De Gui straightened her dress and greeted him with a quiet smile.

This time, Concubine Degui lay lazily on the table, fiddled with the withered petals.

For Concubine De Gui's actions, Gong Yi didn't see any anger, he just waved back the servants, then walked to the table and sat down.

Concubine Degui glanced at Gong Yi, and said: "There are no lies, if it is him, even if there are any loopholes in your words, they will be noticed."

Gong Yi said: "He is very good, you seem to admire him very much, tell Gu why."

"Why? You Gong Yi was also there at that time, why ask me?" Concubine Degui said.

"It's because he knows how to use you to force you to mess up your internal positions, but he played it beautifully. Just your word 'Junior Sister' is an important clue." Gong Yi said.

"You can't say that. Although I am the junior sister of Emperor Xishan, there are too many senior brothers and sisters in the world. Why should he suspect me and my senior brother?" Concubine De Gui said: "Besides, I am the only one in Beihuang, you. Even if the daughter of a declining clan enters the palace, even if he investigates, can he find out about my senior brother?"

"But what he did at the time meant he had doubts, Gong Yi, be careful." Concubine Degui pursed her lips and smiled.
