My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 654: Breaking Free

Wen Kang smiled slightly, then threateningly asked, "Beloved subjects, what about you all? Will you choose to submit to Zhen, or die today in this Hall of Righteousness? Zhen’s patience is limited. You’d better think carefully before speaking."

When his words fell, the generals glared at him.

One of them, who was used to fighting under Feng Xiyan’s father’s command, sneered, "Wen Kang, do you think you can become an emperor by forcing us to submit? This general would rather die than bow to scum like you!"

Recognizing his identity, Wen Kang gritted his teeth as he seethed in anger.

"Good... Very good. Even after his death, you all still choose to be loyal to him, don’t you?"

Hearing this, the other generals and ministers were confused about whom he was talking about. But after recalling the general’s past, they understood who Wen Kang meant.

Seeing that the general still refused to surrender to him, Wen Kang sneered and coldly added, "Since your backbones are so straight, then Zhen will send you down to meet him."

Knowing what he wanted to do, the other loyalist generals struggled to free themselves while throwing insults at Wen Kang.

"Traitor! You will die a tragic death!"

"Wen Kang! What do you want to do?!"

"Let him go! You beast!"

Looking at how his comrades-in-arms were trying to save him, the general felt his fighting spirit soar and suddenly shouted, "Brothers!"

When he called them brothers, the other generals stopped shouting.

Giving them a meaningful gaze, he looked down at his hands.

Following his gaze, the generals saw the hand signals he made. Understanding what he was saying, the generals’ eyes widened in surprise.

Before they could react, the general suddenly turned around to kick the rebel soldiers, who were holding his arms, and sent them flying away.

"Ah!"

"Ugh!"

Crash! Thud!

"Cough!"

Crashing into the wall and pillars, the rebel soldiers coughed up blood and fainted.

After dealing with the two rebel soldiers, the general used all his strength to break the rope.

"Argh!"

Snap!

The second the rope snapped, Wen Kang’s eyes widened in shock.

However, before he could react, the other loyalist generals suddenly rushed toward the rebel soldiers.

"Ugh!"

"Ah!"

Sent flying by the generals’ sudden charge, most of the rebel soldiers fainted instantly, while the others suffered severe internal injuries.

Seeing the opportunity, the young Hanlin Academy historian suddenly shouted, "Help them!"

At his reminder, the royalist ministers also charged toward the rebel soldiers.

Although they were weak, they were smart enough to combine their strengths. With two or three people dealing with one rebel soldier, the ministers managed to defeat those rebel soldiers.

With the generals taking the lead and the ministers following suit, the situation suddenly became chaotic.

Coming back to his senses, Wen Kang hurriedly ordered, "Kill them! Kill them all!"

When the rebel general heard this, he quickly drew his sword and charged toward the loyalist generals. Unfortunately, he was alone, while the other side had more than a dozen seasoned generals.

Snatching the rebel soldiers’ swords, the loyalist generals began to gain the advantage against the rebel army.

Slash!

Holding his sword, the first loyalist general easily slashed down another group of rebel soldiers.

"Ah!"

Splash!

With blood splashing on his face and body, the general looked up at Wen Kang. His eyes flickered with cold, murderous intent as he shouted, "Wen Kang, bring your life here!"

Sensing the murderous intent, Wen Kang felt a chill creep up his spine.

Standing up from the dragon throne, he pointed at the general and frantically ordered, "Quick! Kill him! Don’t let him get close to Zhen!"

Listening to his orders, the rebel soldiers hurriedly formed a human barrier in front of Wen Kang. However, facing the general, they were like children fighting against an adult.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

In just a few moves, the general killed more than half of them.

Realizing that the situation was beginning to get out of control, Wen Kang’s mind spun rapidly. ’What should I do? I can’t let these people destroy my victory!’

Clenching his hands, he scanned the Hall of Righteousness and noticed that only those generals and ministers who belonged to the loyalist faction were fighting.

Wen Kang’s eyes lit up at this realization.

Looking at the other generals and ministers, he suddenly said, "Whoever can help Zhen kill them will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold for one head!"

As soon as his words fell, surprise gasps echoed in the chaotic surroundings.

The generals from the neutral faction and the Wen Clan faction exchanged glances, then quickly grabbed the fallen swords nearby and joined the fight.

While the generals from the Wen Clan faction joined the rebel soldiers to fight the loyalist generals, the neutral faction’s generals actually joined the loyalist generals.

Seeing this, Wen Kang almost fainted from anger.

Slamming the long table in front of him, he crazily ordered, "Kill them all! Today, none of them shall leave this Hall of Righteousness alive!"

At his words, the rebel general and his soldiers responded in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Noticing that more and more rebel soldiers were coming from outside, the first loyalist general signaled his comrades with his eyes. While fighting the rebel army, the generals slowly moved closer to each other.

Standing back to back, one of the generals asked, "What is your plan?"

The first general killed another rebel soldier, then responded in a hurry, "We can’t stay here for too long. We must leave before their reinforcements arrive."

Hearing the approaching footsteps from outside, the generals knew that the longer they stayed here, the slimmer their chance of getting out alive.

"What about those ministers?" asked one of them.

Being asked this, the first general’s eyes flickered with determination. "We can’t lose the talent of this empire. The future still needs them. Bring them all with us!"

Listening to his words, the other generals nodded in agreement.

Finishing their brief discussion, the loyalist generals suddenly charged out, moving toward the loyalist ministers’ position.

As they cleared the enemies, they grabbed the ministers’ hands and shouted, "Let’s go!"
