Yishaen publicly killed Lu Ze on the Palace City wall, something Lu Qing and Lu Chao did not expect.
They thought he would at least attempt to use Lu Ze as a hostage.
Seeing him die like this, Lu Qing and the others knew he brought it upon himself, but still couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Yishaen also knew at this moment that he no longer had the leverage to negotiate with Lu Qing and the others, and had missed the best opportunity to escape.
If he continued to be surrounded here by Lu Qing and Lu Chao, he would only become a trapped beast.
All he could do was make a desperate gamble.
So, taking advantage of the moment when those below hadn't reacted, he quickly signaled to his men on the wall.
A large amount of smoke suddenly poured down from the wall, and the people below instinctively lowered their heads to cover their mouths and noses.
Yishaen's figure quickly disappeared in the smoke, rushing towards the Imperial Palace.
