Chapter 699 ‘Father and Son Reunited’

Silent night.

The door seemed to be suddenly knocked open.

The door was empty, no one was around.

A gust of cold wind blew in.

The two people in the room trembled and felt suspicious for a moment.

But then, a sense of uneasiness emerged in my heart, and I suddenly became vigilant.

"What's going on?!"

He Jing was the first to react, looked at the dark door, and shouted angrily: "Here comes someone!"

There was silence outside the door, no response.

"Where are the people?!"

When He Jing heard this, he became even more angry: "You dog slave, come in quickly!"

"..."

Still no movement.

Outside the empty door, there was silence.

The cold air all over the package entered the room.

At the same time, He Jing and Zhao Jing looked at each other, and the ominous premonition in their hearts became more and more obvious.

What's going on here?

Where is the eunuch outside the door?

Why is there no one?

And this cold wind...why is it so strange? !

"Your Majesty, let me go and take a look!"

He Jing felt wary in his heart. The atmosphere at the moment was so weird that he didn't dare to be careless.

Obviously this is the Jokhang Palace and is heavily guarded, but right now it makes people feel chilled.

He Jing's whole body tensed up, and he slowly came to the door and looked through the door.

It was dark and deserted outside the door.

Nothing.

No one!

The eunuchs and imperial guards who were originally guarding the door also disappeared.

"What's going on? Where are they?"

He Jing became angry when he saw no one outside the door.

What happened to these minions?

How dare you leave your post without permission? !

He Jing immediately took steps and came to the door.

It was pitch black all around, and a strange cold air enveloped him up and down. He Jing shivered subconsciously. How could the wind be so cold at night?

And, so weird?

He was alert and looked around, but saw nothing.

It's so quiet in the middle of the night, why is no one missing?

What the hell? !

"His Majesty!"

Just as He Jing turned around and looked into the room. In an instant, a chill suddenly emerged from behind him.

Just like the biting cold in an ice cellar in winter, it made his whole body stiff and all the hairs on his body stood up.

He Jing suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

However, it was still empty.

Still no one.

But at this moment, He Jing's ominous premonition became more and more obvious.

Something's wrong!

"Your Majesty, go first!"

He Jing's voice was low and his expression was anxious.

At the same time, Zhao Jing in the room also had a premonition that something was wrong.

Why are all the slaves missing in the Dazhao Palace?

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Jing's eyes, and he was about to turn around and leave.

Just then.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

Suddenly a gust of cold wind hit, and the windows around the room were suddenly blown shut by the cold wind.

Even the door that had just been opened suddenly closed!

"Bang!"

There was a soft sound, and as the door closed, Zhao Jing and He Jing were separated.

"His Majesty?!"

He Jing's anxious and panicked voice came from outside the door.

But the next second, the sound stopped suddenly.

It was as if the spot had disappeared.

Zhao Jing's pupils shrank suddenly, sensing something was wrong. He quickly retreated, returned to the bed in the room, and touched a sword hanging on the wall. He stared around coldly: "Who?!"

"Who is this person? Dare to act like a ghost here? Come out to me?!"

The sultry voice echoed coldly in the room.

However, there was still no response.

Then, the lights in the room suddenly shook.

The dim light made the room extremely swaying. This scene made Zhao Jing's expression suddenly change.

There is no air movement in the closed room, so how can the light be shaking? !

Master!

He must be a top expert!

"Get out of here!"

Zhao Jing, who was slightly panicked, suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand and slashed towards a room in the air.

A sword energy came out of his hand and struck through the air.

"Bang!"

An exquisitely carved sandalwood chair not far away was in pieces.

"Pretending to be a ghost? Who are you trying to scare? If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude?!"

Zhao Jing's voice was particularly gloomy, with a hint of panic in the gloom.

The unknown enemy is the most terrifying!

The Jokhang Palace was heavily guarded, how did the other party break in?

And what about his people?

What about the Imperial Guard?

Why can't I see anyone?

Could it be that... everything has been solved?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Jing's expression changed and he clenched the sword in his hand.

The next second.

"Bang!"

The door to the room opened again, but there was still no figure outside.

Even He Jing's whereabouts are unknown.

The cold night wind blew in, making Zhao Jing's heart feel extremely cold.

Zhao Jing stared at the door. He knew there was someone outside, but the other person didn't show up, as if he was deliberately teasing him!

The dignified Emperor Zhao Jing was actually teased, which made Zhao Jing particularly humiliated.

His face was gloomy and he stared at the door for a long time. Finally, he clenched the sword in his hand and walked towards the door step by step.

Zhao Jing walked to the door and looked around with vigilant eyes.

Empty!

No trace!

He Jing also disappeared.

At this moment, Zhao Jing suddenly felt cold.

What is the origin of the other party?

What do you want to do again? !

"bite!"

At this moment, a sound suddenly seemed to come from the room behind Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing, who was full of vigilance, suddenly turned around.

The next second, the expression on his face was stunned.

In the room, under the dim light, a woman dressed in white appeared.

She was sitting quietly at the table, looking at him expressionlessly.

Absolutely beautiful and unearthly temperament, aloof and aloof, yet unparalleled in elegance!

cold!

There was only coldness left all over my body!

indifferent!

It was so cold that Zhao Jing shuddered subconsciously.

"Zhao, Zhao Ying..."

When he saw the figure appearing in his sight, Zhao Jing's expression changed.

But then, it gradually recovered.

"It's you?!"

Zhao Jing stared at her and said in a deep voice: "Are you back again?!"

Zhao Ying had no expression on her face, staring at him coldly without saying a word.

"You broke your promise!"

Zhao Jing slowly put away the sword in his hand and stared at her: "You promised me that you would never set foot in the capital..."

That day, he made a deal with her.

She promised to hand over Qin Tiansi to him, and at the same time leave the capital forever and never come back.

Zhao Jing, on the other hand, promised to help her save someone.

But now, Zhao Ying reappears here.

She broke her promise!

What is her purpose? !

Listening to Zhao Jing's questioning, Zhao Ying's face remained expressionless, without any change in emotion.

The cold eyes stared at him and said coldly: "What about you?"

"You said you would protect everything in Dazhao and that you would do better than my father. What about now?"

The cold tone was like a steel knife, piercing Zhao Jing's heart fiercely, and his face looked particularly ugly.

The lofty words he had spoken at the time were now constantly slapping him in the face.

When he first usurped the throne, he vowed to make great achievements and firmly believed that he could do better than his father.

However, Dazhao is currently in an unprecedented crisis. Internal and external troubles, the world is in chaos!

He failed!

A complete failure!

Zhao Jing lowered his head slightly, with a gloomy face.

Then, he raised his head and stared at Zhao Ying in front of him: "So, is this the reason why you came back?"

Zhao Ying looked at him coldly: "I will not let Dazhao's country be ruined in your hands."

"I haven't lost yet!"

Zhao Jing said in a deep voice: "I still have the Jokhang Iron Cavalry, I still have..."

"Oh!"

A look of sarcastic expression appeared on her face: "Dazhao Iron Cavalry?!"

“Can the Jokhang treasury still be able to support the Jokhang cavalry?”

Zhao Jing's expression suddenly changed.

How could she know?

Now the Dazhao treasury has long been empty, and there has long been no silver income.

Nearly more than half of the Dazhao treasury revenue came from the Jiangnan and Beizhou regions. Now with the fall of Jiangnan and Beizhou, the treasury is instantly empty.

By now, it is already stretched thin. Even supplies for the war ahead are tight, let alone military pay. Today's Dazhao can only struggle to support itself.

This is also the real reason why Zhao Jing has never used the Dazhao Iron Cavalry until now.

The national treasury is empty, how can we support it?

How to fight a war? !

Zhao Ying looked at him expressionlessly: "What's more, don't forget who controlled the Jokhang Iron Cavalry back then."

Zhao Jing's expression changed again.

Jokhang Iron Cavalry...

After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Prince Zhaonan, who held the Jokhang cavalry, almost had the strength to compete with Emperor Zhao.

The Jokhang Iron Cavalry were all his subordinates back then.

Now more than ten years have passed, and although his influence has weakened, there are still many generals in the army who are afraid of surrendering to Prince Zhaonan.

How to fight this battle?

How to fight? !

"so……"

Zhao Jing slowly raised his head, looked at Zhao Ying, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do when you come back this time?"

"Teach me how to fight? Or..."

A glint flashed in Zhao Jing's eyes: "You want to replace me?"

Zhao Ying did not answer his question, but stood up slowly and walked towards him with lotus steps.

One step, two steps, light steps, but it seemed to cause great pressure on Zhao Jing. He subconsciously took a step back, then realized and said in a deep voice: "Can you change all this?"

Zhao Ying stopped a foot away from him, glanced at him behind her hands, and said expressionlessly: "You are as arrogant as the emperor, you firmly believe that you can change everything. The country of Dazhao will fall on you and In his hands, it will be destroyed sooner or later."

Zhao Jing's face changed slightly and he stared at her: "Have you met the emperor's uncle?!"

Zhao Ying did not answer his question, but just looked out the window.

Not far away, the fire was shining, as if it was reflecting something.

"You may not do better than me!"

Zhao Jing gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face became more ferocious and unwilling: "As soon as I stabilized the court, the emperor's uncle rebelled. He planned for more than ten years and caught me off guard... and Beizhou, my father stayed. Before I had time to clean up the mess, it all exploded..."

"Tell me, what should I do? What can I do?!"

Zhao Jing's eyes were slightly red and he stared at her.

He is not convinced!

When he first came to the throne, Dazhao faced such a crisis!

If you give him some more time, give him a few years, he will definitely be able to solve these things perfectly!

"So, you are not a qualified emperor!"

Zhao Ying glanced at him coldly.

"Why bother covering it up anymore? You just want to replace me?!"

Zhao Jing stared at Zhao Ying, a sneer appeared on his face, and he exposed her thoughts: "You have probably coveted this throne for a long time, right?"

"That's right, this throne should have been yours. But, it fell into my hands..."

Zhao Jing stared at Zhao Ying coldly: "You want to take it back, but it's not that easy."

He took the throne of Dazhao at the risk of being stabbed in the back by the world, killing his father and the king.

He naturally couldn't give it to someone else!

Even if the other party was his sister!

Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Jing calmly and said lightly: "If you think so, then so be it."

Tonight, she appeared here, and the answer was self-evident.

Listening to her calm words, Zhao Jing's heart sank.

Her goal is really the throne? !

She wants to be the empress of Dazhao? !

At this moment, Zhao Jing felt a little flustered. He suddenly thought of something, glanced back at the door, and suddenly sneered: "I really underestimated you..."

"You have dealt with the imperial guards and servants outside the door, right? I didn't expect that there are still your people around me!"

The only person who could sneak in so quietly without being discovered by him was Zhao Ying.

Faced with Zhao Jing's questioning, Zhao Ying just glanced at him: "Didn't your people deal with him?"

Zhao Jing's face suddenly changed: "You, how could you know, know?!"

How could she know this?

Since she knew, doesn't it mean that Li Beifeng had already...

"You secretly transferred several masters from the Qintian Division, did you really think no one knew?!"

Zhao Ying looked at him coldly: "Don't forget, the Qintian Division was established by me. Do you really think that if you replace my people in the Qintian Division, you can use them completely for you?!"

Zhao Jing's heart sank suddenly, and his face changed drastically.

Of course, he knew Zhao Ying's position in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, but he didn't expect Zhao Ying to suddenly return to the capital!

More importantly...

"He is the prince of Northern Qi, the remnant of Northern Qi!"

Zhao Jing's face became particularly ugly: "You want to save him?!"

If Li Beifeng knew about his actions tonight in advance, wouldn't it be a failure? !

Zhao Ying glanced at the distance expressionlessly and said coldly: "He is more useful than you when he is alive!"

"Crazy, you are crazy!"

Zhao Jing stared at her and said in a deep voice: "I have been preparing for so long just to eradicate the remnants of Northern Qi, you, you actually ruined my good thing?!!"

"You deserve to die!"

At this moment, Zhao Jing realized that the plan might fail, and he was furious.

This was his last chance to turn the tables, but he didn't expect that he had already been discovered!

Zhao Ying ignored the angry Zhao Jing and said calmly: "Da Zhao has come to this point and needs to change. If it does not change, even if Da Zhao escapes this disaster, it will probably run out of luck..."

"And you will not be a qualified emperor. Da Zhao will only accelerate its demise in your hands!"

"Issue the abdication edict!"

Zhao Ying looked at him calmly.

The light words made Zhao Jing's face particularly gloomy.

Abdicate?

You want to force him to abdicate with such a light sentence?

You want to take away everything you have worked hard for for many years? !

Does she really think she is still the high and mighty princess?

Does she really think that she can control everything?

"What if I don't abdicate?!"

Zhao Jing spoke hoarsely.

Zhao Ying looked at him coldly and said calmly: "You have no choice."

"I want to see if I have a choice!"

Zhao Jing said coldly with a gloomy face.

The next second!

"Bang!"

The windows around the room broke instantly.

Three silent figures fell around Zhao Ying, surrounding her.

Instantly, invisible murderous aura burst out in the room.

It was about to happen!
