The people in the palace were subdued while the other ministers were caught too.
“Lord Shi, the entire palace is under our control. The civilians outside… do we kill all of them?”
Lord Shi didn’t hesitate: “Kill them!”
“Yes.”
Lord Shi turned around and ordered, “Prepare to welcome His Highness into the city.”
“Yes.”
A small group of people rushed in and bowed. “Lord Shi, the prime minister mansion… the people we sent didn’t come back.”
Lord Shi frowned. “Prime minister mansion? The person called Jing Se?”
“Yes. It’s strange. By right, the prime minister mansion had no chance of retaliating. We sent many people there.”
Everyone was subdued but the prime minister.
Lord Shi said in a low voice, “Send more people over. There must be no mistakes.”
“Yes.”
Just as these people were preparing to bring more men over to the prime minister mansion, news came that a few ministers were saved by someone.
Then, another piece of surprising news came. “Lord Shi, we lost control of the east side…”
“What happened? How many people are there?” Lord Shi’s voice was cold.
The man who came back was drenched with cold sweat. He seemed to have seen something frightening.
“There is only one person… from the prime minister mansion. Our people… couldn’t stop them.”
The prime minister mansion?
“Stop this person. If you all can’t stop one person, what is the use of having you here?”
The people below exchanged glances with each other.
The person who just came back felt helpless…
“Go!” Lord Shi shouted angrily.
“Yes.”
Everyone hurriedly rushed out.
They brought the main army along with them. By the time they met Ming Shu, she was already near the royal palace gates.
The people around her kept falling down. The path behind her was filled with people groaning in pain and lying on the floor.
“Hurry up! Charge!”
Shouts rang through the air.
When Lord Shi arrived at the palace gates with his men, he saw a person standing nearby.
There were people lying all around her.
Lord Shi narrowed his eyes.
The women of Fengqi State were strong and powerful. They were as strong as their men. However, so many people…
Lord Shi was astounded.
He walked a few steps forward. “Prime Minister Jing, you surprise me.”
Ming Shu smiled. “You should take more notice of me then. It’s hard to find a pillar of the country like me.”
Lord Shi: “…”
“I heard that…” Ming Shu pointed the bloody sword at Lord Shi. Blood dripped down the tip of the blade. “You are here to snatch the title of the traitor careerist from me?”
I’ve only sat on this throne for a little while and you want to kick me away?
Do you think that I’m easy to bully?
Lord Shi: “???”
Lord Shi looked at the people beside him. His subordinates were all stunned too.
This person came out of the prime minister mansion and saved a few ministers. Then, she came to the palace.
They didn’t know what was happening.
Lord Shi would have scolded this bunch of useless people if Ming Shu wasn’t present.
“Prime Minister Jing, if you support us, we will treat you well.”
“Treat me well? Will you all give me the throne? If that’s the case, I can consider supporting you.”
Lord Shi understood that Ming Shu didn’t want to discuss with him. His expression turned dark. “The entire city is under our control. Do you think that you can turn the tables around with your own effort?”
“Maybe I can?” Ming Shu smiled gently. “Why don’t you try and see how powerful I am? I’m already here anyway.”
Lord Shi looked behind her. The soldiers on the ground proved that she might really have the capability.
She fought her way through alone.
Ming Shu was tired of raising the sword so she put it down. She took a bag of snacks out of her clothes and said, “You all can discuss and see if you want to attack together or come one by one. I suggest that you all attack together. That way, we can save some time. It’s getting late. Let’s go back and sleep after our fight.”
Lord Shi: “…”
She is too arrogant.
Lord Shi waved his hand. “Charge!”
“Hey, wait!” Ming Shu shouted, “Wait for me to finish eating. Why don’t you all think about how to lie on the floor more comfortably first?”
When she said this, the soldiers felt humiliated.
“Kill her!”
“Charge!”
Ming Shu protected her snacks and ran around her enemies. She didn’t attack them.
Everyone was puzzled.
After she finished her snack, she threw the oil paper bag at the person closest to her and kicked his abdomen.
The person flew out and smashed into a group of people behind him.
Just a second ago, they were confused. Now, they were beaten up.
After a bunch of soldiers fell to the ground, another group replaced them.
Lord Shi’s face turned green and then black. Why is this Jing Se so good at fighting?
“Lord Shi…” A soldier ran toward him and whispered in his ear.
Lord Shi narrowed his eyes.
“Stop!”
He shouted.
The soldiers retreated. Ming Shu twirled the sword in her hand and looked at Lord Shi.
“Prime Minister Jing.” Lord Shi pushed aside the people who were blocking his path. “I heard that you have a good relationship with His Highness.”
Ming Shu didn’t say anything. She waited for him to finish what he wanted to say.
Lord Shi clapped his hands three times. “Impressive. I wonder… how much you care about His Highness.”
Lights appeared at the end of the road. A man walked toward them. Ming Shu was surrounded.
The person standing beside the man was none other than Shen Pin.
“Your Highness,” Lord Shi called respectfully.
This was the crown prince of Daliang State.
The crown prince raised his hand. He looked at Ming Shu. “Prime Minister Jing, you caught me off guard.”
Shen Pin didn’t have any expression on his face. There was an emptiness in his eyes. He seemed to have lost his soul.
Little Beastie rolled out from the shadows and pulled Ming Shu’s clothes. It started complaining to Ming Shu.
Duanmu Shu did this.
One hour ago…
After Ming Shu went left the prime minister mansion, Shen Pin was locked up in his room by Jing Se.
There was too much commotion outside. The prime minister mansion was a mess so Jing Yu was called to handle the situation. After she left, Shen Pin came out.
He didn’t want to leave the mansion. He just wanted to know what was happening.
However, he met Duanmu Shu along the way.
He was suspicious when he saw Duanmu Shu.
By rights, Duanmu Shu couldn’t get out of his bed.
Hence, he walked toward Duanmu Shu. When he got near, he suddenly fell down.
Duanmu Shu was a harmless person so Little Beastie didn’t guard against him. But, he grabbed Shen Pin after Shen Pin got near him.
After that, Shen Pin became like this.
Little Beastie wanted to stop Shen Pin from leaving the prime minister mansion but he started hurting himself.
There was no way to knock him unconscious. It was as though he had no conscience at all. Only his body was moving.
The crown prince was waiting outside the prime minister mansion.
