Two masters were sold out by him just like that, but in the current situation, he couldn't care less.

Ji Yaohua continued to fight fiercely with the two masters. Although the two masters could not defeat her in a short period of time, they succeeded in delaying her.

Ji Yaohua soon noticed An Zhenhou's actions. She knew that An Zhenhou had abandoned them, so she immediately said to them, "An Zhenhou has already abandoned you. If you surrender now, you may be able to survive."

The two masters looked back and saw that Marquis An Zhen was attacking the army with all his might, which made their faces change slightly. It was obvious that they had been sold out by Marquis An Zhen.

"Don't be distracted. Only by capturing her can we survive."

One of the grandmasters shouted at the other grandmaster in a deep voice.

The other master suddenly came to his senses. Now they were in the enemy camp. If they wanted to survive, they had to capture Ji Yaohua first. If they surrendered, their life and death would be controlled by Ji Yaohua.

The two masters attacked Ji Hua again, their swords were as powerful as rainbows and unstoppable.

Ji Yaohua was prepared, so she quickly swung her sword to block the weapon of one of them.

In an instant, a huge shock wave was formed at the moment of collision.

However, neither of them stopped, but continued to transfer their internal energy. It was obvious that they were competing in internal energy.

Another master took the opportunity to attack and tried to launch a sneak attack on Ji Yaohua.

At this moment, a figure flew over and swung a palm, hitting the master in the chest.

After being knocked away, the master fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Feeling unbearable pain, he lifted up his clothes and saw a cinnabar-like palm print on his chest. His face changed drastically and he looked at the person who attacked him.

"You are the Red Fairy Li Mochou—"

He recognized the identity of the attacker.

The person who came was Li Mochou.

Lu Chen was afraid that Ji Yaohua couldn't deal with Marquis An Zhen alone, so he asked Li Mochou to lend a helping hand.

"Pfft!"

Before Li Mochou could say anything, he vomited blood and died.

Li Mochou smiled slightly. If you were hit by her poisonous palm, no matter how powerful you were, you would not survive for a moment.

Seeing his companion die tragically, the remaining master suddenly became panic-stricken, which gave Ji Yaohua an opportunity.

"Break it for me!"

Ji Yaohua roared, and all her internal energy burst out, knocking the opponent away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Yaohua suddenly threw the sword in her hand out. The sword drew a streak of white light and pierced through the chest of the master. With a muffled groan, blood spurted out and he fell to the ground.

"Are you OK."

Li Mochou glanced at Ji Yaohua.

"I'm fine. We must not let An Zhenhou get away."

Ji Yaohua shouted in a deep voice.

Only by capturing Marquis An Zhen can King Zuo Wu be restrained.

Fortunately, the army reacted in time and Marquis An Zhen did not break out of the encirclement.

At this time, Marquis Anzhen had less than twenty people around him and was in a desperate situation, and he himself was exhausted.

Ji Yaohua and Li Moqiu flew over together and said to An Zhenhou, "An Zhenhou, why don't you surrender?"

"Surrender? I will never surrender to you."

Marquis An Zhen said with gritted teeth.

"Marquis An Zhen, this is your last chance to survive."

Ji Yaohua said seriously.

"Bah! How could I beg for mercy from you? I am a member of the Zhao royal family. Even if I die, I will never surrender."

An Zhenhou said coldly.

Seeing Marquis An Zhen's resolute expression, Ji Yaohua suddenly felt uneasy.

Sure enough, the next second, Marquis An Zhen drew his sword and committed suicide without any hesitation.

"Master Hou——"

"Master Hou——"

Upon seeing this, the twenty or so guards around Marquis An Zhen all committed suicide.

Ji Yaohua looked at the scene in front of her with an extremely ugly expression. She had been prepared to capture An Zhenhou, but she did not expect that An Zhenhou would choose to commit suicide in order not to be captured.

Fortunately, this operation was very successful.

"Sister Li, tell Lu Chen about Marquis An Zhen's suicide. I still need to clean up the mess here."

Ji Yaohua said to Li Mochou.

Li Mochou nodded and left the battlefield.

Ji Yaohua looked at the corpse of Marquis An Zhen with a frown on her face. She knew that the real trouble was coming. If King Zuo Wu got the news, he would definitely come back and start a massacre.

Ji Yaohua immediately ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and then gathered all the officials of the imperial guards together, and said to them with a serious face: "Once Marquis Anzhen dies, Prince Zuowu will definitely come back to kill him. He is a member of the royal family, and the current emperor's life or death is unknown. If Prince Zuowu comes to punish him, even Master Lu will not be able to take action."

Everyone thought so too. The situation was a bit complicated. There was no doubt that Marquis An Zhen had rebelled. However, they had no evidence of Prince Zuo Wu's rebellion. Moreover, the emperor had long been missing, and Prince Zuo Wu had returned as a prince. They were indeed in a very passive position.

King Zuo Wu could even slander them, and when he called on troops from all over the Song Dynasty to come to his aid, they would be labeled traitors instead.

"Master Ji, what should we do now?"

A commander of the imperial guards asked.

Ji Yaohua pondered for a moment, glanced at them, and said slowly: "There is only one way to deal with this situation now."

"any solution?"

They all looked at Ji Yaohua.

Ji Yaohua said solemnly: "Only if the emperor issues an order to abolish the title of Zuo Wuwang and label him a traitor, can we legitimately take action against him."

"But didn't the official disappear?"

They also knew that this was a good idea, but the problem now was that the official had disappeared a long time ago, and they didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Master Ji, you are not going to forge an imperial edict, are you?"

One of them was the first to react. Since the government hadn't found it, why did Ji Yaohua say that? It was obvious that she had thought of a solution.

"Master Ji, please think twice. Forging an imperial edict is a serious crime that will result in the execution of nine generations of your clan. Even if Master Ji has made great contributions to the court in suppressing the rebellion, it will be difficult for the emperor to forgive such a crime."

Ji Yaohua smiled slightly and said, "Who said the imperial edict is fake?"

"Master Ji, what do you mean?"

Everyone was a little confused and didn't understand what Ji Yaohua meant.

"We don't know whether the emperor is alive or dead, but the court cannot be without a ruler for a day. Why don't we all support a new ruler and respect the emperor as the emperor emeritus? Once we find the emperor, we can give up the throne."

Ji Yaohua expressed her thoughts.

"Establish a new king?"

Everyone was shocked. They really didn't expect that Ji Yaohua would have this idea.

Supporting a new emperor was a great achievement, and they were quite tempted. However, they were also a little afraid that if the emperor did not come back from death, they would probably be liquidated.

However, Ji Yaohua said something right. The court cannot be without a ruler for a day. The current situation does require a new ruler to take charge of the court. Otherwise, no one knows how rumors will be spread outside.
