Chapter 140 – The Imperial City Inside and Outside All Killing Sounds
Inside the main hall of the Hall of Containing Light, there was a deathly silence, and all the people watched the scene with horrified eyes wide open, without a single sound except for the soft popping sound of blood dripping down on the bed.
The blood slid down from the sword on Fan Xian’s clothes, following the empress dowager’s earlobe, wetting half of the old woman’s cheeks, and gradually seeping into her clothes.
The sword that shone with a cold light rested on the empress dowager’s neck in an unusually stable and cold manner.
This was the first time since the founding of the Qing Kingdom that an assassin was able to kill into the depths of the palace, and the first time that someone was able to rest the blade of a sword on the Empress Dowager’s neck.
Everyone, including those few expert eunuchs, were shocked and watched as Fan Xian held the empress dowager hostage, not knowing what to do.
All of this happened too quickly, from the time the alarm was sent out from outside the hall, to the time Fan Xian descended from the sky like a god of murder, bursting straight into the phoenix bed and controlling the empress dowager, it was only a few breaths of time.
Earlier at the side hall, Fan Xian did not hit the wall, but first chose the wooden door, and that eunuch expert against a palm, a sword to decapitate his head, successfully let the experts of the inner court bet on the attention of the side hall leading to the main hall of the long corridor, however, he was …… directly from the wall behind the crash! So unexpected, willing to take strange risks, hard against the four old eunuchs to strike, only to have the success of this moment.
In that short period of time, actually can have such a fast reaction and decision, can’t help but say, Fan Xian’s action this night, is really very strong. And the crowd of people who were shocked to watch this scene, for some reason, a chill arose from the bottom of their hearts, as if Fan Xian dared to pull the long sword at any time and send the Empress Dowager to her death!
Fan Xian’s expression was too calm, too cold, as if he was just an ordinary person under his sword, not a Empress Dowager who could influence the world’s power!
“Pass on the decree for the guards outside to stop.”
The palace was deathly quiet, but it set off the sounds of killing and miserable cries outside the palace to become brighter and brighter. The Sudden Palace’s six swordsmen were still tangling with the inner guards.
Fan Xian will be the queen of the system under the sword, without the slightest delay, will slightly bend down the right knee, his body carefully hidden behind the queen of the long sword back elbow, set up in the shoulders of the queen of the queen of the blood stained cheeks next to the queen of the whispered.
The words were calm, but they were permeated with a power that did not allow anyone to speak out against them. Everyone sensed that if the Empress Dowager did not order the guards outside and the eunuchs and experts in the temple to stop, Fan Xian might really move his sword.
However …… the Empress Dowager was not an ordinary person after all.
This Qing Guo Empress Dowager, back when she was still the Princess of Cheng Wang, she experienced many years of precarious days, the heart of the sincere and stable, not the average ordinary old woman. And then did decades of empress dowager, deep in the palace, own a majesty and strong confidence in the heart.
The empress dowager turned her face and looked at Fan Xian indifferently, her white hair was a bit messy, but her eyebrows were twisted in one place, revealing an innate prestige, and said in a cold voice: “Treasonous thing! How dare you threaten me?”
The voice was like a gold cracking jade, shaking all the people in the palace!
Fan Xian’s heart was slightly flabbergasted, not thinking that the Empress Dowager would actually be so hardened at this time in such a wretched and dangerous situation, but he understood in his heart that the Empress Dowager had to keep her temper in order to seek more benefits in what was to come.
Something even more unexpected was yet to come. Only a snapping sound was heard! The Empress Dowager actually backhanded Fan Xian and slapped him!
A faint red palm print surfaced on Fan Xian’s face. The empress dowager didn’t seem to be afraid of the cold blade across her neck at all, looking at Fan Xian with contempt and disdain in her pupils as she said in a cold voice, “Could it be that you dare to kill the mourning family!”
Everyone in the Hall of Containing Light was stunned, not thinking that the empress dowager, under the control of Fan Xian’s sword blade, actually dared to be so forceful in her provocations. Was she not afraid that Fan Xian would really kill her? Watching this scene, some of the Sisters and Palace Maids actually fainted from fear.
And the Empress Dowager was still looking at Fan Xian coldly and forcefully.
Fan Xian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the Empress Dowager’s wrinkled face without saying a word. He knew why this old woman was acting so tough, because she knew that Fan Xian would definitely not dare to kill himself at this point if he wanted to control the palace.
What’s more, she was, after all, the Empress Dowager, Fan Xian’s own grandmother by bloodline, and she expected that Fan Xian wouldn’t dare to do it in front of so many people. Even if she really thought wrong, she still had to maintain her momentum in order to have a chance to reverse the situation.
Just as the Empress Dowager slapped Fan Xian in the face in an unusually forceful manner, a sudden change occurred in the Hall of Containing Light, and Eunuch Hou, who had been quiet at the side of the hall, suddenly floated up!
He floated up incredibly fast, but instead of rushing towards Fan Xian and the Empress Dowager, he rushed towards the large hole that Fan Xian had broken through!
Fan Xian’s pupils flashed, but he didn’t dare to leave the Empress Dowager’s side, and could only watch as Eunuch Hou and a few other eunuch masters snapped at the hole, restraining several people.
Eunuch Hou’s palm had a death grip on the Third Prince’s throat.
Concubine Yi was restrained by a eunuch.
Talented Lady Ning brandished a black dagger, but she was also surrounded right in the middle by several eunuchs.
“Young eunuch, don’t be too impulsive.” Eunuch Hou said respectfully with his head lowered as he held the Third Prince’s throat.
Fan Xian’s hand held his sword unusually steadily as he looked at Eunuch Hou, a trace of color flashing through his pupils. It was only at this moment that he realized that this number two chief eunuch, who was ranked below Eunuch Yao, actually had such a high level of cultivation as well.
At this moment, the situation was that Fan Xian controlled the Empress Dowager, while Eunuch Hou and these eunuchs controlled the three people that Fan Xian cared about very much.
How would the situation develop?
Everyone was waiting for Fan Xian’s decision.
The Empress Dowager’s face was cold, but the blood that had seeped into her clothes was a bit cold, making her fingers tremble slightly.
Fan Xian lowered his head and looked at the empress dowager’s fingers, and wasn’t silent for long, only taking a deep breath. All of the eunuch masters were on alert, wondering what he would do next.
Fan Xian raised his face and frowned, then raised his right hand and struck down hard towards the empress dowager’s pale cheek!
There was a crunching sound! The sound was even louder than the slap that the Empress Dowager had slapped Fan Xian with earlier! The empress dowager incredulously covered her face, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her lips, and the old man’s teeth were only loosened by the blow.
Everyone in the hall watched this scene with jaws agape, as if this slap had not only hit the Empress Dowager’s face, but also her own face and her own heart!
Who was the one who was slapped by Fan Xian? It was the Holy Empress Dowager, His Majesty the Emperor’s own mother, Fan Xian’s own grandmother! And Fan Xian …… actually dared to slap her!
This was a humiliation that could never be removed. And the fact that Fan Xian slapped the Empress Dowager proved that he had already gone out of his way to kill you if he dared to slap you!
Fan Xian stared at the Empress Dowager’s half-swollen face and said softly, “Let go, stop. I don’t want to repeat myself a second time.”
The Empress Dowager was shaking with anger, but within her heart, she also felt a hint of coldness from the deepest depths of the earth. She knew that she had finally underestimated this grandson who was not surnamed Li, underestimating the other party’s coldness and strong mind.
She felt the sword around her neck tighten another point. Maybe it was just after a moment, maybe after a long time, the Empress Dowager’s eyes finally became a bit despondent and spoke, “Do as he wishes.”
“The empress dowager herself shouts, louder.” Fan Xian said.
The empress dowager stared angrily at Fan Xian, and had no choice but to use her old voice to shout to the outside of the hall, “Attendants, listen to the order, all stop!”
For some reason, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief once the Empress Dowager’s decree came out. Perhaps it was Fan Xian’s behavior that had frightened these people too much, fearing that they would witness a horrific scene in which the grandson would kill his milk and the minister would kill the empress dowager.
Only Eunuch Hou, who had the Third Prince by the throat, frowned slightly, not knowing what was going through his mind.
“It seems that Eunuch Hou wants you to die.” Fan Xian said indifferently to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Eunuch Hou, and the four old eunuchs frowned and moved a step toward Eunuch Hou.
Eunuch Hou sighed and loosened his grip.
The Third Prince was in a state of shock, and the wound stabbed out by the assassin in the afternoon began to bleed again. He hurriedly supported his mother, and the three of them, Talented Lady Ning, ran behind Fan Xian in panic.
As soon as the Empress Dowager’s decree came out, the sounds of fighting surrounding the Hall of Containing Light suddenly disappeared without a trace. Obviously, the swordsmen who had followed Fan Xian into the palace had been instructed, and as long as the guards did not strike again, they did not take the opportunity to counterattack.
All the large wooden doors of the Hall of Containing Light were pushed open at the same time. With a creaking sound, the entire palace became permeable. Those inside the palace could clearly see the tense situation outside the palace, the guards holding straight swords that surrounded the Hall of Containing Light, and the countless dead bodies crouching on the empty ground outside the palace.
The early fall night wind outside the hall also blew in, the coolness was deep, but it did not allow people to be quiet. Because along with this wind, the smell of fresh blood also followed into the hall, rushing straight to the end of everyone’s nose.
Dozens of black-clothed swordmen of the six divisions retreated into the Hall of Containing Light at the fastest speed, surrounding the eunuchs in the hall. Several of the powerful old eunuchs of the inner court had to accept the suffocating fact that they were being held up by the special iron finger clasps of the Supervisory Court.
The empress dowager was in Fan Xian’s hands, and Fan Xian had already proven that he dared to kill the empress dowager. Under these circumstances, where would these inner court experts dare to resist?
Even those like Eunuch Hou who wanted to resist were forced by the general situation and were unable to make too many superfluous movements.
Fan Xian looked at his subordinates who were covered in wounds, his brows throbbed once again, and with a sweep of his eyes, he knew that although the blockade outside the Hall of Containing Light was extremely short, there were still more than a dozen loyal subordinates who had gone to their deaths.
It was impossible to break into the palace without dying. To be able to temporarily control the Hall of Contained Light at such a small cost was an impossible task.
Fan Xian lowered his eyes and said to the empress dowager under the sword, “You know, I won’t kill you …… If I just want to kill you, there are countless ways to make you die without even knowing how.”
The empress dowager coughed violently and held her chest, her neck rubbing out a trace of blood under Fan Xian’s sword.
Watching this scene, the eunuchs and palace maids who were loyal to the Empress Dowager showed looks of panic, wanting to come forward to serve, but not daring to move.
The Empress Dowager turned her head and stared at Fan Xian with a spiteful look, ”You are just like your mother, a wolf with a heart of gold! I would like to see what you can harbor in this palace.”
Yes, even if Fan Xian captured the Empress Dowager and took control of the palace at this time, but what should he do next? Everyone, including those black-clothed swordsmen, stared at him, waiting for his next order.
Fan Xian was waiting for the news from the other three groups in the palace, and also waiting for the movement outside the imperial city, he knew that success had not yet come completely, once something was not right, his own people would fail.
But while waiting, he was not idle, he coldly glanced at Eunuch Hou who was surrounded by the swordmen.
Eunuch Hou’s heart trembled, and he secretly utilized his true qi.
Fan Xian nodded.
Eunuch Hou was startled, and with a double flip of his sleeves, he was ready to grapple! Unexpectedly, he raised his eyes, but saw ten or so small crossbows glowing with dark light pointed at him!
The two hundred people Fan Xian had brought into the palace, because he was afraid of alerting the enemy outside the palace, he had put a great deal of effort into camouflage, so he couldn’t carry a crossbow for everyone, but only the dozens of people who followed him carried ten concealed crossbows.
And these crossbows are now pointed straight at Eunuch Hou.
Hou eunuch shouted violently, his body shape burst up, nai …… just drew up a foot, his whole person turned into a hedgehog, ten crossbow arrows deeply rooted into his body, from inside his body non-stop sucking blood.
With a snap, Eunuch Hou fell to the ground, convulsed twice, and died with his eyes closed unwillingly.
Fan Xian indifferently watched this scene. Although he did not know that Eunuch Hou was the Elder Princess’s confidant, his intuition as well as the previous scene made him wary, which was why he suddenly snapped at this moment, ordering his subordinates to shoot Eunuch Hou to death abruptly.
At such a critical moment, Fan Xian was not afraid to kill, and would rather kill the wrong person than the wrong person.
Hou Gonggong’s death shocked the hall, and the situation that had been calmed down a bit was in a bit of a mess again. The guards outside the hall were also nervous, and took a few steps closer to the direction of the Hall of Light.
Fan Xian did not mess up, he slowly removed the sword from the Empress Dowager’s neck and swept his eyes over the scene. Wherever he looked, no one dared to look directly at him, and they all bowed their heads.
He sat down beside the Empress Dowager, lowered his head and listened to the noisy sounds from all over the palace, clear that those three groups must have encountered a very strong resistance as well, good thing that he burst into the Hall of Containing Light, attracting the most eunuchs’ experts and most of the guards’ strength in the harem, Jing Ge and his three parties should be a little easier.
The Hall of Containing Light was quiet. Fan Xian and the Empress Dowager were sitting side by side on the bed, this pair of grandparents and grandchildren were stained with other people’s blood and iced with their own moods. Such a scene of grandparents and grandchildren sitting calmly next to each other sent chills down the spine of anyone who witnessed it.
The guards outside the hall had not surrendered their weapons, and Fan Xian did not have any extra people to carry out this important matter. All of the black-clothed swordsmen had returned to the temple, and he did not want any further changes to the situation at this point. The issue of the great inner guards should be left to him to deal with later after the Grand Prince had resolved the issue of the imperial city’s forbidden army.
He just waited, he believed in the strength of his subordinates as well as the Black Riders.
Without waiting long, the great inner guards outside the hall suddenly gave birth to some noises, as if at the back of the camp, something shocking had occurred.
Fan Xian did not get up and said to the empress dowager beside him, “Tell them to make a path.”
The empress dowager’s flowery white hair hung down by her blood-stained cheeks, while the half of her cheek that was not blood-stained had been swollen by Fan Xian’s heavy slap, and looked unusually forlorn. Listening to Fan Xian’s words, she glanced outside with somewhat listless eyes and nodded.
The head of the guard shift looked at the situation inside the hall, and with a clench of his teeth, withdrew an opening in the encirclement.
More than ten black-clothed assassins, holding a disheveled concubine hostage, walked into the Hall of Containing Light!
Fan Xian looked at the number of people, and his heart thumped, knowing that more people had died in this group. After seeing the trace of misery in the consort’s clear beauty, he couldn’t help but feel a slight stirring in his heart.
Since the Empress Dowager’s decree that the Crown Prince would succeed to the throne and the Second Prince would submit, the Empress Dowager had sent the Crown Prince and the Empress, the Princess, and Noble Consort back to their respective palaces to reside in, and had only left behind the mother and son of Concubine Yigui and Caitlin Ning in the Hall of Containing Lights.
Fan Xian looked at Consort Shu Gui with a gentle smile, patted the soft bed beside himself, and said, “Your Highness, please sit over here.”
Shukui Concubine since childhood good poetry and books, light hearted, usually in the palace and Fan Xian’s relationship is still good, did not because of the second prince’s things to give birth to too much suspicion, itself is also a clear-minded silent people, Fan Xian to her also do not have too much ill feeling, just this night, the sudden palace, she is the person who must control himself.
Shukui Fei was taken captive by the assassins tonight, thought she would die, but also guessed who did such a treacherous thing, and now looked at Fan Xian’s face, couldn’t help but have a burst of fear welling up in her heart, and even thought of a good scolding words could not be spoken.
She looked at the Empress Dowager in such a sorry state, and was even more chilled, and could only cower and sit beside Fan Xian as she was told.
It was Fan Xian’s expectation that the first to be caught was Princess Shu Guifei. The defense of the East Palace and Guangxin Palace, second only to the Hall of Containing Light, was also a key place, and his subordinates were not able to get their hands on it so quickly.
So ……
When he saw Jing Ge, who was wearing a silver mask, leading his subordinates to step into the Hall of Containing Light with a silent face, his heart sank, knowing that things were in trouble.
Things were indeed troublesome. Jing Ge lowered his head and whispered something in Fan Xian’s ear, and Fan Xian’s face grew heavier and heavier, as if thousands of pounds of boulders were pressed between his brows, making it difficult to stretch.
Another level of subordinates reported back, still bad news.
Fan Xian frowned and rubbed his brow vigorously, as if he was trying to drive the bitterness out of his heart. A moment later, he sighed and spoke softly to the person on the bed.
“I wanted to have a family reunion, but it seems I can’t.”
At this time on the bed at his side sat the Empress Dowager and Shuji Consort, behind him leaning and sitting on Yigui Concubine, Ning Cailian and the Third Prince, the entire royal family, most of the men and women were on this bed. Fan Xian in the absolute close control of the life and death of the two people beside him, to protect the three people behind him.
The so-called whole family was naturally the family of the Son of Heaven. Now that Emperor Qing had gone, the family of the Son of Heaven, in addition to these six people on the bed, also included the Crown Prince and the Empress’ mother and son, as well as Her Highness the Princess in the Guangxin Palace. Fan Xian subconsciously excluded that flower farmer because he felt that Prince Jing was much cleaner than everyone in this family.
The heavy stones weighing on Fan Xian’s brow were the three members who had not come for the heavenly family reunion at this time.
Jing Ge and the other group returned with the news that the Eastern Palace and Guangxin Palace were empty!
Somehow, the Princess and the Crown Prince even seemed to have gotten the news in advance, and just moments before Fan Xian’s group of subordinates killed the palace, they took advantage of the darkness of the night to follow the direction of the north at the Cold Palace and disappeared. Jing Ge led more than a hundred assassins actually did not catch up!
Such a violent and reckless raid had failed to capture the most important few characters!
Fan Xian’s mood was unusually heavy, but his face gradually eased up. This time, although he hadn’t accomplished everything, he had captured the Empress Dowager and Princess Shukwu after all. There was never anything perfect in this world. He knew that his luck was not so good that with two hundred people, he could change the course of history.
The Empress Dowager, who was sitting beside him, suddenly said in a pale voice, “I know what you want to do, but it’s just that my decree was issued a long time ago.”
Obviously, what Jing Ge had said beside Fan Xian’s ear had all fallen on the ears of this downtrodden empress dowager. A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes as she looked at Fan Xian and said, “Cheng Qian has left the palace with the Mourner’s decree, and tomorrow the army will enter the capital. Are you scared?”
“I’m a person who’s getting bolder by the day, or else I wouldn’t dare to swollen your face.” Fan Xian looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile, but the chill in his words was chilling. The pupils of the Empress Dowager’s eyes shrunk.
“The empress dowager can have many decrees.” Fan Xian said very gently to the Empress Dowager, “For example, the Thirteen City Gates Division is always still under your control. As long as you give another decree to close the city gates, how will the old Qin family get in?”
“I think you also know that the close friend of the Eldest Princess’s who was planted in the City Gate Division was sent by me to be killed last night.”
“I am helping you to firmly control those nine city gates.”
“Of course, my aim is to control you.”
These words spat out from Fan Xian’s thin lips, extraordinarily soft and terrifying. The empress dowager trembled with anger, glaring at him but unable to utter a single word.
“Even though you’re already seventy years old, you’re still afraid of death.” Fan Xian frowned as he looked at the Empress Dowager, as if he was looking at something that was very upsetting to him, “That is why this imperial decree, you always have to issue.”
The Empress Dowager coughed twice, glanced at Cai Ren Ning behind her, and then turned her head to stare into Fan Xian’s eyes, “Even if that barbaric species assists you, at best you can only control the palace, what can you do outside the palace?”
Fan Xian stared back into her eyes and said, “I only brought two hundred people into the palace, not that I’m confident, but I left seventeen hundred people outside the palace! What do you think I can do outside the palace?”
Right at this moment, at the intersection of the rear palace and the front palace, which was some distance away from the Hall of Containing Light, a large burst of sounds of drinking and killing, as well as the sound of the palace door bursting open, suddenly erupted.
Fan Xian quietly listened, knowing that the Great Prince’s forbidden army had finally killed over, and with a relieved heart, he stood up and ordered Jing Ge, “I’ll leave the Hall of Containing Light to you, and no matter who it is, if there is any movement, kill them for me.”
Jing Ge led the order without any objections, the silver mask on his face flared with a chilling light. The people in the hall looked at this person, wondering what exactly this person’s status was, actually taking such a seemingly treacherous order from Fan Xian with such ease and calmness.
If it was an ordinary official of the Supervisory Court, I’m afraid they would all have some fear in their hearts.
They didn’t know that this Black Rider Vice Commander had picked the Qin family’s son out of the military camp, and that he had spent a long time on death row in Qing, and had suffered a great deal of torture. He was a treacherous person, and only then did Fan Xian dare to deliver this treacherous thing to him.
Right at this moment, Ning Cairen suddenly lowered her head slightly and said, “Lend me this dagger of yours first.”
Fan Xian glanced at her and smiled, knowing that Cai Ren Ning was afraid that once there was a real mess, Jing Ge would not dare to lay his hands on the Empress Dowager, whereas she …… the woman who had been a female captive of the Eastern Barbarians back then, and the fetus in her belly, who had nearly been cunted to death by the Empress Dowager, had always been full of fiery blood and had waited for this opportunity.
Fan Xian nodded at her and then headed out into the night outside the Hall of Containing Light. He was going to check out Guangxin Palace and the Eastern Palace, and he always felt that there was a very odd message revealed in this matter.
With a shiny sound, he backhanded the blood-stained sword into the sword barrel behind his back and walked down the stone steps of the Hall of Containing Light. The several close associates of Qiyan’s group who had followed him into the palace followed three steps behind him and also walked down the stone steps.
Everyone inside and outside the palace looked at him, wondering where he was going at such a critical moment.
With a few subordinates in tow, he just calmly walked out of the hall, walking past the great inner guards who were like enemies, holding their blades against him without even blinking an eye.
Where did the guards dare to make a move, they could only watch him disappear into the dark night outside the Hall of Containing Light. Although it was the empress dowager in the hall, the fact that Fan Xian actually walked so calmly and with such boldness really shook a lot of people’s minds.
Fan Xian had not deliberately suppressed the empress dowager’s temper, and the words he had said earlier were not false. When he and Yan Bingyun drew up the plan in Miss Sun Knitting’s boudoir in the Kyoto Palace, he had already calculated how much power he could contact.
The spies that the Procuratorate was able to mobilize in the capital, the spikes hidden in the various mansions, the one under Fan Xian’s control, even apart from the square building that was being watched by the inner court and the military, he could still mobilize 1,400 people.
And through the Kyoto government, hidden in the Kyoto outside of the five hundred black cavalry disguise into the capital, so far, Fan Xian can utilize the power of one thousand nine hundred people, and this one thousand nine hundred people are skilled in the darkness of the operation, although from the force is far from the army’s rivals, but engaged in a conspiracy to rebellion, is really a handy tool.
Fan Xian this night to raid the palace, only brought two hundred people, not he arrogant, but because like this is concerned about the speed and suddenness of the raid, the number of people is never the key, and he must leave most of the power outside the palace. The remaining seventeen hundred men were at that moment being mobilized by Yan Bingyun to do all sorts of work.
Kyoto was too big, and Fan Xian had too many aspects to take care of; while the outside of the palace was handled by himself, the inside of the palace had to rely on the thousands of forbidden soldiers to control the situation. And when that shouting and killing sound came from the harem, it was clear to him that the Grand Prince had taken control of the forbidden army.
The action of the forbidden army, as the Grand Prince had told that close colonel, was launched at a time that depended on the course of Fan Xian’s sudden advance in the palace.
The forbidden army moved when that brave subordinate of Fan Xian’s, who had stood his ground surrounded by guards, sent that order arrow to the night dome and bright moon in the sky.
The firework arrow was so bright that it illuminated half of the Imperial City in a flash. This kind of order arrow used to send a message was not the kind commonly used by the Kyoto Guard Military and the Supervisory Court, but it had given a very clear signal.
The Grand Prince stood beside the guard crossbow, looking at the fireworks arrow that cut through the night sky, his facial lines suddenly hardened as he raised his right hand and slashed down like a knife.
Cutting into the empty night wind at the corner tower of the Imperial City.
A knife chopped down, directly the two soldiers on the big bunk neck at the same time chopped off, blood poof sprayed to the wall, unusually bloody hit two big blood flowers to!
The general of the forbidden army who was holding the sword for the night attack retrieved his long sword and bellowed, “Kill!”
In the darkness of the night, an unknown number of people surged into the several streets and alleys by the square in front of the Imperial City, silently disappeared into those large compartments, and then began a bloody massacre.
The entire six hundred soldiers of the forbidden army who had been switched to resting duty were still asleep at this time, and a number of them had their lives cut short in this way, while some of them, after being awakened, did not react at all, and were ushered in by the merciless swords and guns.
Yes, those who kill and those who are killed are all fellow soldiers, if they were in another time and place, in another venue, they might have done battle side by side with the hu people, drinking burnt knives, wiping the snowy blades, bravely killing into the enemy camp, blocking arrows for each other, blocking knives for each other.
Not this night, however, just a massacre of one side against the other, an unusually merciless massacre.
It didn’t take long for the two thousand forbidden troops loyal to the Grand Prince to clear a large area in front of the Imperial City, countless dead bodies mixed with blood, the fishy odor rushing to the sky.
The faces of the forbidden army are not good, they are always the western expeditionary army, this is the first time to kill …… their own people. But they are also clear that these people are not their own people, and what they did tonight does not allow them to have the slightest weakness.
They have seen the line seal transmitted by the marshal, and they have seen the posthumous edict of His Majesty, so they have hot blood and conviction in their hearts.
We are on the side of justice.
They are still alive now, who says otherwise?
