Now, Su Qiao led a large group of soldiers and ran towards the direction of Prince Rui's Palace in a menacing manner, scaring people on the street so much that they fled back home. Even the shops on both sides quickly closed their doors for fear of getting into trouble.
*
At the gate of Prince Rui's Palace, a team of soldiers, armed with long swords, were confronting the guards in the courtyard.
Leading the way is Minister Li, whose popularity has risen recently and who has become somewhat arrogant.
At this time, she was riding on a tall horse, looking down at the people in the yard, her eyes fell on Ye Lihan who was surrounded by a group of guards.
"Prince Ye, you'd better surrender! Swords and knives have no eyes. If I hurt you, I will be sorry."
Li Jue stood at the front, sneering: "Minister Li, even if you want to bring people, why don't you give them to the people from the Ministry of Revenue who are not yours?"
"You said it was my prince's order, then where is my prince's handwritten order? Also, why haven't I, the palace's chief steward, received any orders from my prince?"
Minister Li also sneered: "What does the prince want to do? Does he need the approval of a small steward like you? Isn't this a joke?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't hand the person over, I will have to force my way in."
Of course, he would rather they disagree.
This way, he would have an excuse to take action.
Ye Lihan wanted to step forward, but was stopped behind by Li Jue and Mu Rong.
Mu Rong never expected that a mere Minister Li would dare to be so arrogant.
Pointing a knife at his neck, his face was gloomy and murderous: "This is the Prince Rui's Mansion, you have to think clearly, if you go against my prince, you are courting death!"
A trace of fear flashed across Minister Li's eyes, but when he thought of the benefits promised to her by his brother and niece, he plucked up his courage.
"I am a low-ranking official, and I am only following orders. I have no business going against His Majesty."
"I'm sorry."
"Catch the spy Ye Lihan for me. If he resists, execute him on the spot."
One side was planning to kill people directly, while the other side tried to protect them, and the two sides immediately started fighting.
Although there are many officers and soldiers on the side of Minister Li, the guards at the Prince Rui's Palace were all carefully selected by Su Qiao, and there are also many secret guards who are good at assassination among them.
For a while, neither side could do anything to the other.
Ye Lihan held a sword in his hand, ready to join the battle, but he was unexpectedly surrounded by three secret guards who followed him closely and protected him from three directions.
He was helpless and speechless.
His martial arts skills are really not weak. His internal strength is even stronger than their prince's, and his swordsmanship is also very good.
"Minister Li, do you really want to go against our Rui Palace? Aren't you afraid that our prince will come back and lead his troops to destroy your Li family?"
Li Jue really didn't expect that Minister Li would be so courageous as to actually take action.
"You can't blame me for this. It was you who harbored the spy and refused to hand him over. I had no choice but to do this."
"Don't be afraid, everyone. The order to kill the spy Ye Lihan on the spot was personally issued by His Majesty. I'm sure that even if the prince knew about it, he would definitely..."
"If this king knew, he would just cut your throat the first time!"
Su Qiao heard Minister Li's voice from afar, and was so angry that he swung his arm hard and threw the knife in his hand directly out.
Although Minister Li dodged the blow, the knife instantly took the lives of several people.
"The prince is back."
The guards at the palace breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Su Qiao only had time to glance at Ye Lihan, and after making sure he was fine, he looked at Minister Li with murderous intent: "I think you are tired of living. How dare you come to my house to cause trouble, and even dare to use my name."
