"Hmph, I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty and will not allow you rebels to run rampant."

The arrogant and domineering voice arrived late.

Chapter 616: Luo Bing Left in the Palace

The scene before me was far too unexpected.

The entire scene fell silent.

The members of the Red Flower Society had no choice but to stop.

Emperor Kangxi found it most unbelievable.

He hesitated and said:

"Young Master Ao, you..."

It was Ao Bai who suddenly protected Kangxi.

He still looked somewhat weak, but he didn't look at all like he was at his last gasp.

The paleness on their faces had lessened somewhat.

Ao Bai snorted again and said:

"Young Kangxi, please don't misunderstand. I simply cannot bear to see the rebels murder the emperor and shake the dignity of the Qing Dynasty. From today onwards, your reign as emperor will come to an end."

Everyone underestimated Ao Bai.

He was at least a Grandmaster at the peak.

What Wei Xiaobao got from Hai Dafu wasn't some top-grade poison.

Against those below the Grandmaster level, one poison is all it takes.

It still works even for masters and above.

However, its effect is limited for those at the peak of the Grandmaster level.

Even when the number of people at the sticky rod office decreased, Ao Bai did not attempt to break out of the imperial study.

It was precisely because he was also stalling for time to neutralize the poison in his body.

Without the protection of the golden silk armor, and needing to be careful at every step, there would naturally be no time to deal with the poison in one's body.

However, with the golden silk armor, he could naturally put away his hard skills and use his power to detoxify.

Moreover, the Red Flower Society is actually causing trouble for the sticky pole.

Therefore, Ao Bai was not actually under much pressure.

Of course, it wasn't without its price; the numerous wounds on his body would become weaknesses in his external martial arts.

People underestimated not only Ao Bai's martial arts skills, but also his ambition.

Ao Bai was naturally furious that Kangxi wanted to deal with him, and even said to his face that he wanted to depose the emperor and install a new one.

But that doesn't mean he was disloyal to the Qing Dynasty.

The process of deposing and installing emperors can be gradual, and as long as it gains the support of the majority of people, the political situation will not collapse.

However, the assassination of the emperor had such a huge impact that it could even cause turmoil throughout the Qing Dynasty.

Wu Sangui and Prince Bao would definitely not stand idly by.

When civil war breaks out, will the Mongol Yuan dynasty still sit idly by and watch the two sides fight?

Ao Bai had no desire to become the culprit who destroyed the country.

Rather than dealing with his internal grudges with Emperor Kangxi, he chose to resolve the issues with outsiders like the Red Flower Society first.

Therefore, when he saw the strange behavior of the Red Flower Society members, he became wary.

Only then could he break through the encirclement and reach Kangxi's side at the critical moment, before the experts of the Sticky Pole Bureau could react.

Suddenly, a panicked female voice rang out.

Fourth Brother?

A thin figure among the Red Flower Society members turned back towards Wen Tailai, who was lying on the ground with serious injuries.

In his panic, the guard's hat fell off his head as he ran, and his long black hair slid down.

It turned out to be a woman.

Even with disguise, her complexion appeared dull and her skin rough.

However, the alluring charm between her brows could not be concealed at all.

Suddenly, a touch of tenderness was added to the tense atmosphere in the room.

The woman was Luo Bing.

Luo Bing rushed to Wen Tailai's side and helped him up.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry as she asked:

"Fourth brother, are you okay?"

Wen Tailai's face was deathly pale.

The difference in strength between him and Ao Bai was already enormous.

If Ao Bai's strength hadn't been significantly diminished, it wouldn't be surprising if Wen Tailai had died on the spot.

But even so.

Ao Bai's punch had been building up for a long time; it wasn't so easy to catch.

Even if Wen Tailai doesn't die, he's half-dead.

He spat out another mouthful of blood, nearly spraying it all over the woman's face.

However, it also stained most of the guard's clothes on her body red.

Wen Tailai forced out an awkward smile.

He said, feigning nonchalance:

"Don't worry, Bing'er, I'm not going to die yet. Killing that dog emperor is the priority."

Luo Bing was not going to listen at this point.

They were completely worried about Wen Tailai, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

He shook his head and refused:

"I'll get you out of here first."

After saying that, he brandished his twin swords, trying to break through the crowd of people remaining at the sticky pole.

But breaking through is not so easy.

Because Luo Bing had to support Wen Tailai, she could only use the two swords as a single sword.

His already mediocre martial arts skills were further diminished.

If the remaining people at the Sticky Rod Office hadn't been acting without Kangxi's orders and had simply blocked the way, they probably would have been captured very soon.

Seeing this, Chen Jialuo hesitated, unsure whether to continue assassinating Kangxi or retreat.

However, Emperor Kangxi made the choice for him.

"At the Sticky Rod Station, listen to my command: first capture the Red Flower Society rebels."

Upon hearing this, Ao Bai smiled smugly.

Today he is the ultimate victor.

Even if Kangxi changed his mind, it would be useless.

After all, he was standing right next to Kangxi and could be captured at any time.

I just don't want to use this method of trampling on imperial power unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, their already tarnished reputation will only get worse.

It wasn't that he cared about his reputation, but rather that he wanted to avoid having to depose the emperor if he didn't get the support of the court officials later.

However, to Ao Bai's surprise,

Kangxi's demeanor was too calm, as if he had some kind of confidence.

This made Ao Bai more vigilant, but also brought him closer to Kangxi.

Chen Jialuo realized that the situation was hopeless.

Reluctantly, he ordered a retreat:

"Red flowers meet the gentle breeze, gathering and scattering, parting ways! Everyone, break out of the encirclement!"

Having said that, they decided to break through the encirclement first.

There are not many people left at the sticky pole.

However, with Yuan Chengzhi blocking their way, it was not easy for the Red Flower Society members to break through.
