"Report!" Another report suddenly sounded, and everyone trembled. At this time, they almost reflexively feared the followers of these reports, for fear of hearing any more unfavorable news. Before the soldiers could speak, Zhao Qi asked first, "Has anyone been killed again?"
The soldier was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head blankly and said, "No."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, the soldier said, "Your Majesty, something serious happened!" Antique City, East Bank Day Camp, Nanxue Academy...all caught fire for no reason. In addition, thieves burned, killed and looted everywhere, rushed into various shops, murdered and set fire. Jiuwei Street is now in chaos, with countless casualties. More than 30,000 people participated in the unrest."
As soon as the words fell, several senior officials almost fainted from excitement.
Zhao Song said angrily, "What's going on? Is someone rebelling? Where's the Xiaoqi Battalion? Where's the Green Battalion? Where's the Southwest Township's envoy? Are they all dead?"
"Reporting to His Majesty Thirteenth, General Song took hundreds of soldiers from the imperial city to rush out to maintain order, and found that those who burned, killed and looted were ordinary people. Some of them were local hooligans, some were students of Taixue, and some were chariot dealers. The bodyguards from other places, as well as the civilians who were robbed, they said they want to get their things back. By the way, there are also soldiers from various security agencies.”
"Soldiers from the Security Department also went to rob? Did you die?"
The summoner was sweating all over his face, "Third Highness, the soldiers of the security department were the first to go out to maintain order, but they were robbed. Some of them were mad, some were blinded by money, and some were intimidated, so they took off. The military uniforms were also robbed. The turmoil was too great, and hundreds of soldiers from the security department could not make a living! Your Highness, there is no news of the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Green Battalion Army, and the troops of the Southwest Township can't be seen. General Song Can say that this turmoil is absolutely It's not accidental, someone must have intentionally caused a riot and fanned the flames inside. Your Majesty, General Song Shen said that the turmoil is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are participating in it. When all the people in the imperial capital join in, it will be out of control. Your Majesty Make a decision early!"
All eyes were concentrated on the emperor in an instant. Emperor Xia stood on a high platform with a gloomy expression, and did not speak for a long time.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" A series of exclamations suddenly sounded, and the soldiers covered in blood seemed to have crawled out of a pool of blood.
Everyone felt a chill, and a huge fear that couldn't be concealed suddenly hit their hearts. Seeing the messenger soldiers rushing in from outside, no one dared to ask a question.
Standing in the crowd, Zhao Che frowned, and still maintained his usual calmness, he said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"Yan Xun's rebellion! He brought the army of the Southwest Township to attack. The Green Battalion, the Xiaoqi Battalion, the Seventh Army, the Ninth Army, the Sixteenth Battalion, and the Yin Yamen of the Imperial Capital were all gone, and the roads were all destroyed. All the messenger stations in the city were blocked, and no one survived. The south gate, north gate, and east gate were all occupied by the enemy. The division guards of the 12th, 19th, and 36th divisions were leading Soldiers and horses came to the imperial city to support them, but they were intercepted by mobs, and they couldn't even rush through the outer ring of Jiuwei Street. Yan Xun has already attacked outside the Zijin Gate, and General Song Shen is standing there alone. The three thousand defenders of the imperial city are about to be overwhelmed!"
It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded on everyone's heads, everyone's eyes went dark, several old ministers couldn't stand upright, and fell down in their seats, everyone's faces were pale and bloodless.
Today, is it really going to turn over
Emperor Xia slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he had to admit that the assassination plan of Ba Lei and Wei Shuye had completely failed. He dispatched a thousand troops to assassinate a caged bird without armed equipment, but he counterattacked beautifully, and even used the turmoil to regain the southwestern town government envoy for his own use. It's been eight years, what the hell has he kept by his side
The aged Emperor Xia sighed in his heart, Shicheng, how could I forget, he is your son!
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and even in the entire land of Simon, no one thought that Emperor Xia Zhao Zhengde would release the son of Yanbei, who had been imprisoned for eight years, back to Yanbei intact, just as no one thought that the son of Yanbei would obediently be captured without a fight. Everyone thinks so, Yan Xun, who dared to challenge the imperial army in the execution ground, will definitely plan a series of escape plans. For example, throwing poison, changing appearance, dressing up as poor people and sneaking out of Zhenhuang City, etc., and then being chased by the soldiers of the Great Xia Emperor for thousands of miles like a bereaved dog. If you are lucky, you will escape with your life and find someone. The place survived incognito, had nothing to do with conspiracy and sabotage, and died at the hands of the imperial army if it was unlucky, with no bones left.
In their eyes, the son of Yanbei, who has been trapped in the imperial capital for many years, can at most pull out so many tricks. After all, how much ability can he have under the eyes of Emperor Daxia for seven or eight years
But no one thought that Yan Xun's last blow would be like this, seemingly humble, seemingly docile, busy all day long, with mediocre behavior, but once he struck it, it was like a thunderbolt. Zhang Zhi's blood, instigated rebellion, assassination, mutiny, burned the imperial capital, stirred up civil unrest, attacked the imperial city, without any scruples, put them to death and then reborn, went deep into the tiger's den and got a son.
Yan Xun is worthy of being the son of Yan Shicheng, the Lion King of Yanbei! With deep scheming, strong patience, and great courage, he can be called the number one madman in the world!
"Report!" There was a bang, and with the sound of the report, Master Cui's old heart couldn't take it anymore, he rolled his eyes immediately, and passed out.
"Panic! Shouting! What happened again? Did Yan Xun call in?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and replied: "If you go back to His Royal Highness, no."
"Then what are you doing in such a panic?"
"Your Majesty, the servants are here to report the news, you should evacuate quickly, the fire is coming!"
…
That night, the entire Zhenhuang City was scorched, and there were heart-piercing screams everywhere.
Zhenhuang City has really turned into a hell on earth.
"Master! This servant has found you!"
Frantically untying the rope for Zhuge Yue, Zhu Cheng said in a deep voice, "Master asked the slave to come to you, but the slave was so anxious to death. Let's go, now the palace is full of fire."
Zhuge Yue frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Cheng, what happened outside?"
"Yan Shizi is rebellious! The soldiers and horses of the Southwest Township are attacking the gate of the imperial city. The people are crazy and mutiny. The Xiaoqi Battalion, the Green Battalion and other divisions are all paralyzed, and there is no news at all. Twelve Teacher and the others can’t rush forward again, it’s a big mess!”
Zhuge Yue's complexion darkened, and he made a quick decision, "No, I want to go home and bring the Zhuge family's army to suppress the rebellion."
"Master, the master said that you will not be allowed to act rashly, and the other families have not responded. We..."
"It's too late if you don't do anything!" Zhuge Yue was furious, his eyes were red, and he said angrily, "What is father thinking? Are you going to fight with each other at this time? I have already said that idiot Barley can't kill Yan Xun!"
Zhu Cheng looked panicked, "Master said that the elders will handle this matter. This is not within the scope of the young master's authority, so you don't have to intervene."
"The Council of Elders?" Zhuge Yue laughed back angrily, "What do they know? They know how to intrigue and destroy each other, how to collect money and fight among themselves for profit, the rise and fall of the country, the life and death of the Great Xia, how can they have time to care about it?" Those idle things! Zhu Cheng, get out of the way!"
"Young Master," Zhu Cheng said tremblingly with a pale face, "Why are you doing this? No family will send troops. If it's our Zhuge family, what will others think?"
"I don't care what they think!" Zhuge Yue frowned and sneered, "If the country is not here, the family will survive? If the Great Xia perishes, where will the Zhuge family go? I am not for the Zhao royal family, I am for Zhenhuang who is full of the city." Common people, for the millions of people in Great Xia!"
"Is... is it so serious? The master said that the walls of the imperial city are strong and can withstand the attack of a hundred thousand troops for three consecutive days, while the rioters outside can withstand an hour at most. As soon as the division guards of the 12th Division arrive, Yan Xun's men are killing themselves, it's just a small rebellion."
"Small rebellion?" Zhuge Yue laughed out of anger, "You think Yan Xun is a fool, he will fight to the death until reinforcements come to rescue him? Look, he is about to flee, the imperial capital is in chaos, who can pursue him? Let such a thoughtful and hateful person escape from Zhenhuang and return to Yanbei, what kind of consequences will it bring? He is ten thousand times more terrifying than Yan Shicheng."
"Master!"
"let me go!"
A sap suddenly hit Zhuge Yue on the head. Zhuge Yue frowned, and fainted to the ground.
"Master, I'm sorry, this is what the master ordered." Zhu Cheng shook his head slowly, "You are all right, but we are a family, and a family should have its own rules. Besides, you are really just for Get rid of Prince Yan?"
After living in the imperial capital for eight years, Chu Qiao has never seen such a true glory.
Burning, killing, looting, weeping, crazy laughter and swearing, fires, robberies, collisions between blood and blood, the good people of the past have shed their moral and benevolent skins and become Like a ferocious beast.
The thugs pried open the shop on the side of the road and rushed in, killing the begging boss. The boss' son picked up a knife and killed the thugs, then laughed wildly at the blood in the room, and then rushed out of the house , also looting, hacking and killing along with the frenzied flow of people. Some people rushed into the store and took away everything that could be eaten and used, and smashed and burned everything that could not be taken away. They were not robbing for profit, but purely thinking about destroying and venting .
Everywhere people were killed, everywhere people were killed, everywhere there were filthy corpses and burning flames.
The air of despair and madness floated in the sky above Zhenhuang City, and the thick air of death permeated the entire imperial city.
This is what Yan Xun said, will someone come to stop the heavenly soldiers from the 12th and 19th divisions for them
Chu Qiao suddenly felt chills all over her body, and her hands and feet were cold. Setting fire to the imperial capital and creating chaos was their steadfast strategy, but she never thought that it would cause such a serious result. Too many people went crazy, too many people died, and too many innocent people were implicated. When the mood of desperation and unwarranted disasters came suddenly, when people with good intentions provoked and the thugs cheered and celebrated, the whole Zhenhuang fell into the hell of Avici, burned and roasted by the fire, unable to survive.
The people of Zhenhuang, who have been under high-handed rule for many years, finally collapsed completely on the night of May 20th.
