The Fengming Emperor's capital still stands there, exuding a quaint atmosphere. For thousands of years, despite the baptism of several wars, it still stands.
However, today's imperial capital is different from the busy traffic in the past. It is full of chills. In the entire imperial capital, almost no shops are open.
In less than a month, the entire emperor seemed to have changed all at once. First, the news that Xia Changfeng was beheaded shocked the entire Fengming Empire.
What is even more shocking is that the person who killed Prince Daxia was none other than Long Chen, the first person of the younger generation who rose like a comet in the imperial capital.
When the projection of the photo-taking jade appeared on the Imperial Capital Square, everyone was stunned. The image of Long Chen beheading Xia Changfeng and his party was presented in front of everyone.
The originally high-spirited and promising Long Chen suddenly became the most wanted criminal of the two countries.
Everyone in the Long family was thrown into the prison overnight, and after a few days, a large number of soldiers will be recalled to the imperial capital.
When people didn't understand what was going on, Daxia's 400,000 elite soldiers attacked the city, and the elite soldiers of the two countries confronted each other.
For a time, everyone was extremely nervous, and the war was about to break out. It would be a terrifying war, which filled the hearts of people living in the peaceful years with fear.
But fortunately, this war did not trigger, and the fourth prince came forward to mediate, saying that the murderer had been caught, and the whole story was investigated, and he would give the Great Xia Empire a satisfactory explanation.
Only then did the elite soldiers of the Great Xia Empire leave the imperial capital, but they did not leave the capital. Instead, they chose to camp 80 miles outside the imperial capital. Obviously, Feng Ming would not hesitate to start a war if he did not provide satisfactory conditions.
A chilling aura enveloped the entire imperial capital, even though the emperor had Yinghou and Wuhou leading most of the Fengming Empire's elite soldiers.
However, things started in a hurry, and it was too late to mobilize more troops. If a war started, let alone victory or defeat, the imperial capital would inevitably face heavy casualties.
At the same time, many people sighed inwardly, didn't they say that Fengming and Daxia are good friends? Why did they meet each other all of a sudden
How ironic this is, often unexpected enemies are the most deadly, otherwise they would not be easily invaded by others.
With the arrest of the Long family, there was an uproar in the imperial capital. The people of the Fengming Empire immediately thought of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who guarded the border and fought against the barbarians.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan has been guarding the border for more than ten years, holding an elite army of more than 200,000 in his hands, who have fought against the barbarians for many years. It can be said that they are the real elites.
Compared with those "elite soldiers" who eat Taiping rice all year round and practice their formations when they are full, this group of "elite soldiers" is a big lump, and there is no comparison at all.
The same soldiers, the elite soldiers under the Hou Zhenyuan, can definitely defeat ten with one. After the Queen Mother ordered to take down the Long family, everyone was wondering what kind of actions Long Tianxiao would have.
Just ten days ago, news suddenly came out that Long Chen's killing of Xia Changfeng was under the orders of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was also arrested.
Many "parties" were implicated and all were suppressed. Today is the day when all "murderers" are executed.
Outside the Imperial City, the ring where people fought was demolished and a larger execution ground was built.
On both sides of the execution ground were the elites of the Daxia Empire and the Fengming Empire, looking at each other from a distance across the execution ground, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The people of the Fengming Empire also gathered in the distance, looking at the execution ground from a distance, this was the most sensational event in the Fengming Empire in recent decades.
Not only the family members of the princes were beheaded by the whole family, but also the prince who had been established as the prince was executed, and dozens of courtiers were implicated. The scene was too shocking.
The execution ground was divided into upper and lower rows, front and rear. There were dozens of people in the front row, all wearing official uniforms, tied with five flowers, and kneeling on the ground.
Although they had been prepared for a long time, people were still madly in their hearts. There were high-ranking officials of the empire, such as the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice. It was difficult to even meet once on weekdays, but today they have become prisoners.
The most shocking thing was that at the front of the crowd was the eldest prince, Chu Yang. The current Chu Yang has long lost the graceful appearance he used to have, with messy hair and blurred eyes. .
Behind this group of people, there are more than 20 people, among them there are maids, servants, old mothers, and they are members of the Long family.
Mrs. Long wore iron shackles on her hands, her face was haggard, and she looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
Except for Mrs. Long, other members of the Long family couldn't help crying. Obviously, they knew that today was the last day of their lives. Looking at the executioner beside them, they were full of despair.
"Oh, it's my Long family that can't help you. If there is an afterlife, our Long family will definitely make up for you."
Mrs. Long looked at the people around her crying, and couldn't help sighing, after all, they were all innocent and were implicated by their Long family.
"Madam, don't say that, we were born from the Long family, and died from the dragon's ghost, we don't regret it," Bao'er, who was beside Mrs. Long, said firmly.
"Hmph, I still want to have an afterlife, go dream, you Long Family are all a bunch of idiots" a man said coldly, holding a long knife in his hand.
Mrs. Long stared at the man stubbornly, the resentment in her eyes wanted to bite the man to death.
"Li Feng, you bastard, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost," Mrs. Long said through gritted teeth.
This knife and axeman is none other than her nephew, the son of her own sister. Seeing this person, Mrs. Long's heart hurts like a needle.
The unfeeling of her parents made her feel disheartened for a while. Recently, the enthusiasm of her parents made her mistakenly think that they had changed their minds. Although it meant that they were becoming more and more powerful, they were a family after all, and she still forgave them.
But what they didn't expect was that their approach was to push the Long family into the abyss of death and make her have endless resentment.
When Ah Man returned to the Long family, he saw Mrs. Long and only said one sentence: hurry up and ask Master Yunqi for help, and then fainted.
It turned out that Aman saw Yinghou chasing Long Chen that day, and he was exhausted again. After a rest, he suddenly remembered Long Chen's explanation and hurried back to the imperial capital.
I don't know if it was A'man's luck or whether Yinghou's subordinates were all dry rice, and A'man returned to the imperial capital without any hindrance.
However, Aman didn't dare to stop along the way, and he insisted on going to the Long family by his will. After the explanation, he was exhausted and passed out.
Ah Man didn't notice that when he came back, Mrs. Long was chatting with her sister, so he probably wouldn't think so much even if he noticed.
When Aman fell, Mrs. Long was taken aback and hurriedly called for help. Mrs. Long's sister immediately comforted Mrs. Long and called two people not far away.
Said that Aman should faint due to hunger, thirst and anxiety, so he woke him up first, but after a few bowls of water, Aman still showed no sign of waking up.
Just when Mrs. Long felt that something was wrong, she suddenly smelled a fragrance and passed out, but before she fell into a coma, she saw her sister's mocking smile.
When he woke up again, the entire Long family had been trapped in prison, which made Mrs. Long feel remorse, hatred, and deep remorse.
Li Feng looked at Mrs. Long who was gnashing his teeth, and a sneer appeared on his face: "A ghost? Humph! Even if you are a ghost, you are a bunch of confused ghosts, idiots who don't know the current affairs.
More than ten years ago, you were so confused, and we drew a clear line with you at that time to avoid being implicated.
Now you are even more confused, let's say a few good words casually, and you will take it seriously, an idiot like you, if you don't die, it really doesn't make sense."
Madam Long was trembling all over with anger, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she couldn't say a word. This is her family member.
"You don't need to cry. I'll be with my relatives. I'll take action sooner. You won't feel pain. It'll be fine right away." Li Feng shook the long knife in his hand and continued:
"But Auntie, I really want to thank you, as long as you cut off your head, I will be able to rise to the top in no time. Now that so many people have died in the empire, leaving a lot of fat, there must be one of me, Li Feng.
When the time comes, I will be rich, and I will not forget your kindness, Auntie, during the festivals, I will buy rich paper money and burn a little more for you, haha"
"Li Feng, you must not die"
Seeing Li Feng's smug smile, Bao'er next to her scolded angrily, she couldn't stand the beast in front of her, remembering how obedient and obedient he was in the Long Family, this face at this time made people sick.
"Don't die? Hehe, that's you, your heads will fall to the ground in a while, I want to see who won't die," Li Feng sneered while looking at Bao'er.
"boom"
Just as Bao'er was about to retort, there was a sudden muffled sound, and a figure was thrown beside them.
"Aman"
After seeing the figure clearly, Mrs. Long let out a sad cry and tears welled up in her eyes.
That man was A Man, but now he was like a hedgehog with long iron thorns on his body.
It was a torture tool called a bone-corrosion nail. It was highly poisonous, which could corrode human bones and cause pain to the bone marrow.
No one can resist that kind of pain. A normal person can't hold on to one, and even a cultivator can't hold on to five. That kind of pain will kill a person alive.
And Aman was almost full of such nails, showing how terrifying pain Aman had to endure. Originally, Aman had passed out, but after being thrown like that, the nails hit his bones again, and he woke up in pain.
"Mother, don't worry, Aman doesn't hurt." Seeing Madam Long crying, Aman said honestly, trying to squeeze out a smile.
But at this time, Ah Man, who was thin and skinny, wanted to squeeze out a smile, it was a very difficult thing.
When Long Chen brought Aman back at the beginning, Long Chen told what happened to Aman, hoping that his mother would recognize him as his godson.
Aman has always called Mrs. Long her mother, but Mrs. Long always thought it was a little weird and didn't agree.
At this time, seeing Ah Man calling him this, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart:
"Man, I'm sorry for your mother" (to be continued)
