The number of guards in the entire palace was reduced from 1,000 to 100, and only then did Liu Yu feel that the fire was finally about to burn.

Liu Yu stood at the height of the palace and looked in the direction outside the palace, but there was no movement at all, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could it be that he was worried about the sky, Niu Lu and Ling Hui were ready to sit still and not be ready to resist?

"What a good opportunity, if you don't grasp it, I'm not worth it for you." Liu Yu muttered to himself.

After waiting for about half an hour, Liu Yue estimated that Lu Chuer and Qu Zhu had already succeeded, and only then did he get a report that a large number of unknown people had killed him in the direction of the palace.

Liu Yu yawned and said, "It's finally here." Get ready for battle! ”

At this time, in the middle of the night, Liu Yu probably knew in his heart that Niu Lu did not dare to start in advance, so as not to startle Liu Yu, the big snake, probably Niu Lu did not expect that Liu Yu would advance the time of action to before the child.

A large number of soldiers of the garrison battalion with torches rushed in all directions of the palace, and before they reached the door, they carried their log equipment and slammed on the door, and the sound was extremely powerful. However, at this time, there is not a single guard outside the palace, but the people in the garrison camp can't care about anything else, time is life for them, if they can't calm down this situation before the palace guards get the news and rush back, then they will be unlucky.

"There are assassins in the palace who threaten Your Majesty, hurry up and attack to protect Your Majesty!"

Niu Lu rode his horse, his posture was heroic, and what he shouted in his mouth was also what the soldiers wanted to hear. Although the soldiers were suspecting that they were not here to suppress bandits, but to be bandits, since it was Niu Lu's order. It had little to do with them afterwards.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Only two bangs on the door. The gate of the palace had already been slammed open. But then a louder noise erupted.

"Boom!"

It seemed that the whole ground was trembling, and Liu Yu felt crumbling when he stood on the small building. The loud sound was accompanied by the monstrous fire, and the dozens of garrison soldiers who rushed to the front were covered in flames, and many of the bones that were directly blown up by this huge explosion were gone.

This sound also pierced the calm night of Dongning Mansion. Immediately, fireworks were launched in various parts of the city, and a large number of soldiers of the New Army who were still outside the city at this time had already used their efficient mobility to climb the city walls. After eliminating the small number of soldiers of the city defense battalion, they quickly occupied several gates of Dongning Province, and then the city gates were opened, and the cavalry of the new army poured into the city first.

The city was full of fires, and the frightened Niu Luden felt as if he had fallen into a trap.

"Captain Niu, what are we going to do?" While fighting the fire for the soldiers on fire, the soldiers came over to ask Niu Lu's opinion.

Niu Lu Xin said horizontally: "Horizontal and vertical is death, kill it!" ”

Niu Lu's order was not very responsive, and his soldiers were already frightened by the sudden explosion. The palace is as unapproachable as a ghost gate. Niu Lu jumped off his horse, drew his knife and rushed to the front. Driven by him, the soldiers entered the palace from the direction of the main gate, and when they arrived at the main courtyard of the palace, there was still no imperial guard in front of them.

At this time, a very high voice came: "You have been surrounded, lay down your arms and surrender quickly." You're already surrounded......"

The figure didn't see it, but the voice sounded over and over again like a talisman, Niu Lu turned his knife horizontally, pointed in the direction of the palace and shouted: "Rush and kill!" ”

The soldiers were driven by a clamor and rushed to the unknown. Liu Yu stood on the small building at this time and sighed slightly, and at the same time, gunshots rang out from all around.

In order to succeed this time, Niu Lu brought all the soldiers of the 1,000 garrison battalion to which he belonged, but because of the previous explosion, some of them escaped and some escaped, and there were also seven or eight hundred people in the Scarf Palace, but in front of Liu Yue's strongest 1,000 new army guards, these seven or eight hundred people still had no advantage to take advantage of.

Liu Yu set up an encirclement, and when the enemy threw himself into the net, he naturally would not give Niu Lu and his soldiers a chance to breathe, this killing was also an opportunity for Liu Yu to try some extreme tactics, the ground was sprinkled with tung oil, plus some phosphorus powder, a little fire, the whole yard was like entering a sea of fire, although the temperature caused by phosphorus powder was not high, but the visual and psychological impact caused by these garrison soldiers who had not been on the battlefield was very huge. The screams and cries resounded inside and outside the palace, so that they had the effect of self-collapse without a fight, and when Niu Lu came to his senses, there were few soldiers standing beside him, and even he himself was on fire.

At this time, the gunfire was still uninterrupted, the soldiers were still falling, and Niu Lu could no longer care about any integrity and honor at this time, threw the knife, and fled in the direction of the door while untying the burning clothes on his body. It's a pity that after leaving the gate of the palace and not yet leaving the corner of the street, the cavalry of the New Army who came from outside the city to support has been killed, and Niu Lu and some soldiers who have not had time to escape have not been captured.

Niu Lu lay on the ground, there was no hope of life in his heart, he was a little annoyed in his heart, he only hated that he didn't kill himself immediately, so that he became a prisoner, with Liu Yu's ferocity, he also knew that he would be better off than dead.

At this time, Liu Yu's voice also came from behind him: "I said Lao Niu, you are too slow, this king has been waiting for you all night, and I have only seen you until now, you can make this king wait so hard!" ”

Niu Lu was grabbed by his hair and confronted Liu Yu head-on, Liu Yu at this time with a relaxed and happy smile, as if the killing just now had nothing to do with him.

"Phew!"

Although he was extremely afraid of Liu Yu, the murderous devil, Niu Lu still showed his unyielding integrity at this time.

Liu Yu thanked him and said: "Thank you Brother Niu for giving this king such a good opportunity, it seems that none of the people behind Brother Niu can escape tonight." This king thanked you for their family. ”

Niu Lu shouted: "Traitor, you have the ability to kill me, one person does things and one person is responsible, this matter is done by me Niu Zhongxiao alone, and it has nothing to do with others!" ”

Liu Yu pouted and said, "Niu Zhongxiao? Hmph, loyalty and filial piety can't be both since ancient times, you accept your fate! Pull out the lug, first separate his tongue, listen to him speak, this king is upset! ”

Niu Lu and the soldiers of the garrison camp were dragged down, and Liu Yu continued to stay in the palace to sit in the town, at this time a search and arrest operation was being launched in the city, not only the Taishou Mansion and the Women's Academy were going to suffer, some Confucians and officials who were connected with Yu Hui were not spared, at the same time, other counties in Huaibei Province outside Dongning Mansion were also carrying out a search and arrest operation at the same time, Liu Yu temporarily only compressed the shock surface in the central and western regions of Huaibei Province, and the time was pressing, as long as the surrounding forces were removed, This will prevent it from recurring in a short period of time.

Liu Yu now wants to go south to pacify southern Xinjiang, he must first stabilize the interior, and at this time, the only thing that Liu Yu is worried about in the Shun Dynasty is Su Zhe, the king of Chu. And because many of Su Zhe's people are in secret, Liu Yu also knows that it is impossible to succeed in one fell swoop, and today is a knock on the mountain and the tiger.

Overnight, there were hundreds of mansions raided in Dongning Mansion, and these families were the backbone of the Confucian power in Huaibei, among which Sun Weiqian and his disciples were the most, and more than 2,000 people were detained overnight. This is only the number of Dongning Province alone, plus the people detained in other cities, Liu Yue roughly calculated, the number will be close to 4,000.

Liu Yuden felt like an executioner, causing a great persecution in the cultural circles of the Great Shun Dynasty. Thinking of this, Liu Yu suddenly smiled as if he was self-deprecating, in the face of power, there is only power and no justice at all.

Taking advantage of the fact that the night was not over, the riots in the city had not ended, and Liu Yu did not leave the palace, but accompanied his own woman, since Qi'er became the emperor, there have been two large-scale killings around her in succession. Although Qi'er was also scared at this time, she calmed down when she saw Liu Yu.

It wasn't until near dawn that the entire Dongning Mansion had quieted down, and Liu Yu walked out of the palace, ready to see the changes in Dongning Mansion this night.

"There were a few Confucian people in the city who could not be humiliated, and they committed suicide." Qu Zhu summarized the information and reported to Liu Yu.

"Oh, what about Sun Weiqian and Ling Daoqi?"

"The two of them didn't have anything to do, they just said it had nothing to do with them. Say it's the general, you wronged the good guys. ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "What a good sentence to wronged a good person, General Ben has always been such a person, and they are not the first day to know the Tao, so there is no need to reason with them." By the way, what's going on at the girls' academy? ”

Qu Zhu said: "Most of the students in the major academies in the city are Confucian children, and last night's incident is mostly involved. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said that he understood, this is very easy to understand, Huaibei Province has a developed cultural industry, which is promoted by the local Confucians, and their children will naturally inherit their father's career and continue to develop. Liu Yu belongs to the same pot this time, if Liu Yu really wants to exterminate the clan, then the cultural industry of Huaibei Province and even the Dashun Dynasty will not be able to revitalize again in a short period of time.

"Lao Qu, let me ask you the students of the Women's Academy, the answer is accurate."

"The students of the Women's Academy are all temporarily detained in the academy and are subject to their fate."

Liu Yu smiled: "Okay, then go over and see them first." ”

Qu Zhu asked, "Doesn't the general go to deal with Ling Daoqi and the other bandit leaders first?" ”

Hearing the word "bandit leader", Liu Yue naturally smiled, and then the smile on his face was a little cold, speaking of which Niu Lu's rebellion was also forced out by him. But this also shows that the power of Su Zhe, the king of Chu, gave up the expansion method from the top down of Chang'an City, and prepared to surround Chang'an with local power.

"Everyone has been caught, will they still put on wings and fly? In fact, what this king wants to see most is whether the fierce girls who met yesterday again today, whether they are still so tricky and mean. ”

Qu Zhu said: "Then the subordinates will arrange it first." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yu glanced at Qu Zhu, smiled secretly, and then patted Qu Zhu's shoulder and said, "Then Lao Qu, you go over to arrange it first, ah, it's really a good weather today." (To be continued......)
