Chapter 1491: Luo Bing, who was left in the palace

The scene before them was too unexpected.

So much so that the entire scene fell silent.

The members of the Honghua Society also had to stop in their tracks.

Kangxi was the most incredulous.

He said hesitantly:

"Grand Guardian Ao, you..."

It was Oubai who suddenly protected Kangxi.

He still looked somewhat weak, but he did not have the appearance of being at the end of his rope as before.

The paleness on his face had also lessened.

Oubai "hmph"ed again and said:

"Little Kangxi, do not misunderstand. This old man just cannot bear to see rebels kill the Emperor and shake the majesty of the Qing Guo. After today, your time as Emperor will also be over."

Everyone had underestimated Oubai after all.

He was, after all, at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

The poison Wei Xiaobao obtained from Hai Dafu was not some top-tier poison.

Dealing with those below the Grandmaster Realm was naturally one dose for one person.

It was still effective for those above the Grandmaster Realm.

But it had limited effect on the peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

Oubai did not try to rush out of the Imperial Study even when the manpower of the Sticky Pole Office decreased.

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

If he did not have the Golden Silk Soft Armor to protect his body, he would naturally have no time to deal with the poison in his body while having to be careful at every step.

But with the Golden Silk Soft Armor, he could naturally put away his hard arts and use his internal power to detoxify.

Not to mention that the Honghua Society was hindering the Sticky Pole Office.

Therefore, Oubai's pressure was actually not great.

Of course, it was not without a price; the several wounds on his body would become flaws in his external arts.

What everyone underestimated was not only Oubai's Wu Gong, but also his spirit.

Oubai was naturally angry that Kangxi wanted to deal with him, and even said to his face that he would depose the Emperor.

But that did not mean he was not loyal to the Qing Guo.

Deposition could be done gradually; as long as he gained the support of the majority, the imperial court would not collapse.

But the impact of the Emperor being assassinated was too great, and it would even cause turmoil throughout the Qing Guo.

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

Once civil war broke out, would the Mongol Yuan still sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?

Oubai did not want to become a sinner who destroyed the country.

Compared to the internal grievances between him and Kangxi, he chose to deal with these outsiders from the Honghua Society first.

Therefore, when he saw the strange actions of the Honghua Society members, he kept a watchful eye.

Only then could he break through the encirclement and rush to Kangxi's side at the critical moment, while the Sticky Pole Office experts had not yet reacted.

Suddenly, a panicked female voice rang out.

"Fourth Brother...?"

He saw a thin figure among the Honghua Society members turn back towards Wen Tailai, who had fallen to the ground with serious injuries.

Because of her excessive panic, the guard's headgear fell off as she ran, and a head of black hair slid down.

That was actually a woman.

Even though she had disguised herself, making her complexion look dark and her skin rough.

But the charm and allure between her brows could not be hidden at all.

Immediately, a trace of tenderness was added to the murderous atmosphere in the arena.

The woman was none other than Luo Bing.

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

She asked with beautiful eyes full of worry:

"Fourth Brother, are you okay?"

Wen Tailai's complexion was pale.

The gap in strength between him and Oubai was already huge.

If Oubai's strength had not indeed been greatly reduced, it would not have been an exaggeration for Wen Tailai to have died on the spot.

But even so.

Oubai's punch had been charged for a long time; how could it be so easy to take?

Wen Tailai had lost half his life even if he did not die.

Another mouthful of blood sprayed out, nearly spraying the woman's face.

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

Wen Tailai barely squeezed out an ugly smile.

He pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Bing'er, don't worry, I won't die yet. Killing the dog Emperor is more important."

Luo Bing was not willing to listen at this time.

She could not let go of Wen Tailai, who was seriously injured and dying.

She shook her head and refused:

"I'll take you out first."

After saying that, she waved the twin blades in her hands, wanting to rush out from the remaining Sticky Pole Office members.

But how could it be so easy to rush out?

Because Luo Bing had to support Wen Tailai, the twin blades in her hands could only be used as a single blade.

Her already not-so-high Wu Gong was immediately discounted again.

If it weren't for the fact that the remaining people of the Sticky Pole Office had not received Kangxi's order and were only blocking, they would probably have been captured before long.

Seeing this, Chen Jialuo hesitated, not knowing whether to continue assassinating Kangxi or to retreat.

However, Kangxi made the choice for him.

"Sticky Pole Office, listen to my order, capture the Honghua Society rebels first."

Oubai smiled triumphantly upon hearing this.

Today, he was the ultimate winner.

Actually, even if Kangxi went back on his word, it would be useless.

After all, he was standing next to Kangxi now and could capture him at any time.

It was just that he did not want to use this way of trampling on imperial power unless it was a last resort.

Otherwise, his already criticized reputation would become even worse.

He did not cherish his feathers, but wanted to avoid not getting the support of the court ministers for the act of deposition afterward.

However, what surprised Oubai somewhat was.

Kangxi's performance was too calm, as if he still had some confidence.

This made Oubai raise his vigilance a bit more, and he also moved closer to Kangxi.

Seeing that the situation was not feasible, Chen Jialuo.

Had to regretfully order a retreat:

"The Honghua meets the clear wind, gathering and scattering are even more parting! Everyone, break out separately!"

After saying that, he led the breakout.

There were not many people left in the Sticky Pole Office.

But with Yuan Chengzhi blocking the way, it was not easy for the Honghua Society members to break out. ===== CHAPTER 1493 =====
