It was noon on the second day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and it was still snowing.
After the charge of the soldiers and cavalry, the noise on the main streets of the imperial capital, where several cavalry could ride side by side, had almost subsided. Only through the dark red that seeped out from time to time in the pure white snow, could one know how brutal the fighting was in these places.
But even if the long street is peaceful and solemn, from the winding alleys, there will be sounds of weapons clashing and occasional screams, as soldiers are looting from house to house and searching for important people.
Imperial City.
It snowed heavily overnight, covering up the traces of blood and war.
This palace city, which was built before the Dahe Dynasty, stands quietly in the snow, wrapped in silver, majestic and solemn. If one ignores the noises and shouts coming from outside the palace and from areas in the harem that have not been cleaned before, it would actually seem particularly peaceful and peaceful.
This time, the commander-in-chief of the Rong people and the three princes under the Great Khan stood in the main hall of Xuanming Palace. With an expression of admiration, they touched the complicated and meaningful patterns on the throne, a symbol of the Wei imperial power, and praised: "It is said that the people of Wei The craftsmen are skilled in craftsmanship. In the royal tent, I have seen merchants selling what the Wei people called exquisite things in the past. But compared with what is in this palace, they are just dirt and gravel. It seems that they should not be too much next time. I believe those merchants’ boasts. I can’t get the real good stuff until I see it in person!”
The third prince is less than forty, but the place where the Rong people live is windy and sandy and the environment is difficult. Like other Rong people, he looks older than his actual age. According to Wei people, he is over forty. But this does not affect the heroic spirit of his actions, especially at this moment - the emperor and ministers of the enemy country are fleeing in panic, but he, a Rong prince, can lead his subordinates into this palace that symbolizes the highest authority of the Wei Dynasty at will. In the main hall of the Great Dynasty, people were enjoying everything about the Emperor of Wei.
Not only is the throne in front of you, it is said that the Wei emperor left too hastily, but there are also several young and beautiful concubines, including the young concubines left behind by the old emperor who died just last year... Although a few committed suicide, more Most of them live fearfully because of fear of death or unwillingness.
And these women will also be his. The imperial concubines that the high-ranking ministers of the Wei Dynasty must treat with respect are now his playthings. Oh, of course we can't forget that there are also the eldest daughters and those noble women... In short, he has the final say in this Wei imperial capital now.
At this time, it was inevitable that the third prince would not be heroic or high-spirited.
The master was in a good mood, and the subordinates who followed him into the palace would not be disappointed. They immediately praised him without any effort, and at least they had to go along with the words and ridicule the Wei people.
The third prince groped up and down the throne, then turned around and folded his sleeves, sitting down excitedly.
To be honest, the spacious and gorgeous throne is not as comfortable as the soft couch, but standing high on the nine-layer Danqi, overlooking His Highness and his ministers, the feeling of controlling all living beings and being higher than the world is something that no soft and comfortable couch can give.
Seeing him squinting his eyes, his subordinates were quite enjoying themselves. They understood it and imitated the rituals of the Wei Dynasty. They all knelt down and called Prince Shan Hu. Although it was quite embarrassing to call him a prince at this time, the Great Khan of the Rong people was still there. And in good health.
Even if the third prince now captured the imperial capital of Wei and forced the Wei emperor and his ministers to abandon the capital and flee, it would still be far from the prestige and deep-rootedness of the Great Khan. After he returns this time, there may be no problem with his position as Crown Prince, but if he wants to covet the position of Great Khan... that would be too much to think about.
The third prince is not a confused person, and of course he will not let his subordinates make such a fatal mistake.
Suppressing the regret in his heart, he inspected his subordinates one by one with the pride of looking down on the world. During this inspection, the third prince couldn't help but frown slightly and asked suspiciously: "Where is Qidan? Where has he gone?"
Shilu Zhenqidan was the third prince's confidant, and he was the first warrior to rush into the city when the city was breached yesterday. The third prince remembered that in the morning he heard that the palace where the Emperor of Wei lived had been cleared out and contained countless treasures. When he excitedly planned to bring a group of confidants over to take a sneak peek, he specially called him in.
When crossing the White Jade Bridge in front of Xuanming Palace, Zhen Qidan seemed to have helped the third prince because the road was slippery in the snow. Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye
The third prince was guessing whether he had gone out to relieve himself or something, but he heard someone report: "When I just entered the palace, someone came to report that they confirmed the location of the Wei family's mansion in Fengzhou, so I set up a road and rushed over immediately." At that time, the prince was admiring the pillars of the palace. The captain did not want to disturb me and asked me to tell the prince. "
"Fengzhou Wei clan?" The third prince was startled, then showed a clear look, and said regretfully, "Fu Gan is also a warrior. If he has been tempered in the battle until now, he may not be worse than his uncle Qidan. Remember that he went to battle The amulet he was carrying at that time was obtained by Prince Qidan from the high priest. Unfortunately, due to his youthful spirit and neglect during the great victory, he was killed by the Wei people's conspiracy and even the amulet fell into the hands of Fengzhou Guards. However, Fengzhou is in the hinterland of the Wei Dynasty, so it is difficult for Qi Dan to take revenge. Now that there are people from the Wei family in the capital of Wei, Qi Dan can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
"It's really a pity to Shilu Zhenfu Gan." These Rong people said this not entirely because they wanted to follow the third prince. Shilu Zhenqidan's nephew, Shilu Zhenfu Gan, had magical powers in his arms since he was a child. The most favored warrior in the clan is the embryo. Even the Great Khan of the Rong people had some words of praise for this tribe when he defeated several ten-year-old children one after another at the age of six. The Shiluzhen family had high hopes for this child and fully expected his achievements to surpass His uncle set up a road to become a true beggar, and became the right-hand man of the Great Khan, honoring the family.
As a result, a few years ago, Shilu Zhenfu Gan went into battle for the first time. At that time, Shilu Zhenqidan was worried, and he specifically asked the third prince to ask for an amulet from the Rong people's high priest, and personally put it on his nephew during the battle. The high priest of the Rong people has a high status in the clan, sometimes even above the great khan. Therefore, every Rong people believe that having an amulet personally blessed by the high priest will ensure safe entry and exit.
But that time Zhen Fugan met Mo Binwei in the north of Fengzhou.
Not only did he not go back, his head was cut off, made of salt and made into a military merit, and sent to the capital of the Wei Dynasty as a memorial ceremony. The amulet that Shilu Zhenqidan begged for him was said to have been sent to the hands of the master of Fengzhou, the Fengzhou Wei family, by the descendants of the Jiangnan Song family who had killed Shilu Zhenfugan, and its whereabouts could not be traced... Maybe it became someone A bragging rights for a nobleman's son in his spare time
All in all, the most outstanding son of the Shiluzhen family was killed by his opponent just for the first time in battle, and all his hopes were gone.
For this reason, Zhenlu Zhenfugan's father was so grief-stricken that he whipped more than a dozen slaves to death. He could not hold back his emotions, and his mother even went blind with tears... After discovering Zhenlu Zhenvgan's talent, he regarded Zhenlu Zhenfugan as a slave. This nephew was like his own real beggar. He drank the strongest wine and rode wildly on the grassland for a full day and night before he was chased back by his tribe.
The entire Zheluzhen family has lived through these years with strong hatred.
This time, they raided Donghu, used the excuse of Mo Jiangcao to retreat suddenly but secretly left a back-up force, and raided the imperial capital... In this whole plan, Zhen Qidan was the most persistent.
When attacking the imperial capital, Zhen Qidan was also the craziest and worked hardest in setting up a road.
Now that the imperial capital has been captured, it's time for him to vent.
Although the third prince knew that the anger and hatred of his confidant was far from enough for the Wei clan in the imperial capital. All the bloodlines in the ancient Ruiyu Hall in Fengzhou must be slaughtered...
"It's a pity that Fengzhou has penetrated too far into the Wei Dynasty." The third prince thought a little regretfully. "Although the attack on the imperial capital went very smoothly this time, the Wei emperor was so stupid that no one came to save him. But the attack all the way to Fengzhou was not successful. It's very possible... Qidan's hatred may only be repaid today."
But what the third prince didn't expect was that Shezhen Luqidan, who they thought was seeking revenge, was standing in the Wei Mansion at this moment, trembling with anger!
"This is the Fengzhou Wei family's residence in the imperial capital?!" Shilu Zhenqidan was over forty years old. He had a typical Rong appearance, with deep eyes and a high nose, dark blond hair and beard, and a burly figure like a bear. When he roared, he was like an angry male bear standing upright. He was ferocious and violent, and it was terrifying to look at. "All the men have run away, and all the women have been killed by their men! The few dozen people left alive are all slaves." ! Are these people worthy of my nephew Fu Gan’s life? This is what you do!”
The subordinates reported tremblingly: "The whereabouts of the Wei Emperor's escape yesterday were exposed. Our people ambush at the east gate in advance. Not only did they intercept and kill the Wei Emperor and his concubines and heirs, they even killed the Wei nobles who fled with him. Many people died. Maybe there were people from the Wei family among them..."
"Bah!" Zhenlu Zhenqidan didn't wait for him to finish, and spit on his face, shouting angrily, "Did I, Zhenlu Zhenqidan, kill those with my own hands! Were they the revenge of my Zhenlu Zhen family? !”
He was panting and his eyes were looking sinisterly at the servants who had been gathered from the entire guard house and were kneeling in front of them. After a while, Shilu Zhenqidan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Take these out, Tied to the back of a horse and dragged to death on the street!" Since the head of the Wei family can't kill him, he doesn't want these slaves to have an easy time!
As if he had received an amnesty, his subordinates hurriedly said: "Yes!"
Although the servants could not understand the Rong language they were talking in, they could guess what was waiting for them just by looking at Shilu Zhenqidan's face and the murderous look on his face after listening to his orders. Good luck!
Those who are still alive in the city and kneeling obediently at this moment are those who want to live rather than die.
At that moment, some people took the lead in begging, hoping that they could escape if an accident occurred.
It's a pity that as soon as this man opened his mouth, the accident did happen. Not only did he not escape, but Zhen Qidan, who was full of anger, casually took off his subordinate's gun, threw it hard, and penetrated his chest, killing him. He was nailed alive into the ground!
Depressed by this man's fate, even though the other servants were willing to grovel in exchange for a way out, they were also stunned and did not dare to make any more noise.
Shilu Zhenqidan glanced at them bitterly and was about to leave. Suddenly, a woman among the servants took a few steps on her knees and said a few words to the Rong people closest to her in a voice with a distinct cry. Shilu Zhenqidan was furious and reached for the gun of another subordinate - but the Rong man closest to the woman was stunned, and stopped Shilu Zhenqidan with an expression of surprise, and then spoke in Rong language Explanation: "Captain Ten Thousands, please don't kill this Wei man yet. She said that she knows there are other people from the Fengzhou Wei family in the city!"
"Oh?" Shilu Zhenqidan was startled, then laughed wildly, "Where?! How many people from the Wei family are there?" (To be continued)
