Chapter 647: High Up

The fifteenth day of the lunar month.

It was supposed to be one of the few days of the year when all those who had worked hard all year could rest and enjoy the fruits of the year and prepare various items for the coming year.

However, at this time, Jinling City was a completely different and miserable scene, too many buildings were destroyed, too many people were displaced, and families were destroyed, so they could only temporarily live in resettlement sites.

Fortunately, the government still takes good care of these people in distress, not only can they provide three meals a day on time, but even the firewood and other materials needed for daily heating are also distributed according to the amount, and there is no deduction.

However, the vast majority of people still do not feel at ease, they do not know how long such a life will pass, let alone what their fate will be.

Then, early this morning, the government announced the imperial court order to the people in the various resettlement sites, so that they all came out of their shelters and came together in front of the huge and extraordinary building that all Jinling people were familiar with.

A few months ago, this huge complex of buildings that occupied almost the entire Wuyi Alley was called Gu Mansion by the people of the city, but now it has a new name - Imperial Palace.

Because His Majesty the Emperor is stationed here, this makes the already lofty mansion even more overshadowed by a layer of imperial power.

More than 200,000 civilians were taken beyond the walls of the palace, and around them, and above the walls, there were thousands of elite officers and soldiers, brightly armoured and unsheathed. 33

That kind of powerful deterrent force made these Jinling people, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, feel strong pressure, so that they did not dare to have any other thoughts, so they could only stand in that small area according to the assignment of officials or scholars, and few people even spoke.

The sudden sound of drums and trumpets sounded down from the wall, and everyone's spirits were lifted, and when they looked closely, they saw a group of men and horses striding to the top of the high wall.

This group of more than 100 men and horses looked more sharp than the other soldiers, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, and like a beast that was pulled by chains, it seemed that as soon as the chain was loosened, these more than 100 people would pounce fiercely downward.

That is only a real iron-blooded strong army that has experienced the tempering of blood and fire and killed countless enemies, and will naturally exude a strong and murderous aura.

Although they are only a hundred people, they are enough to stand out from the crowd and cover up the overall temperament of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around them.

However, the attention of the people lingered on them for only a moment, because just as they had walked up to the wall and quickly parted, a man with a good bearing in a dark robe had already ascended to the top step by step and stood in front of everyone.

If those elite killing gods before were as dazzling and conspicuous as the stars in the night, then his appearance was like the rising sun, completely covering the light of the stars at once, so that everyone could only pay attention to him.

Although he hadn't spoken yet, everyone knew his identity at this moment.

Let's ask, in this Jinling, in the entire Jiangnan, and even in the whole world, who else has such extravagance and domineering, which can impress all the soldiers, and make everyone just want to prostrate at his feet, only to look up?

"The grass people meet His Majesty the Emperor......"

In the crowd, a large group of scholars in wide robes and big sleeves and with a polite quality had quickly bowed down and bowed to the figure standing tall.

Their actions obviously played a leading role, and after hesitation, the others also bowed down suddenly, and said the same: "The grass people meet His Majesty the Emperor......"

At first, there was an irregular movement of a handful of people from the west to the west, and later, it was a patch of people who knelt down like wheat that had been cut down, bowing to Sun Ning above.

In the end, hundreds of thousands of people bowed at the same time, and although the call to pay homage to the emperor was not very neat, it had already exploded like a thunderbolt, spreading to the heavens and the earth, and spreading in all directions, and the few birds that passed by in the air were frightened and fled, screaming endlessly.

Sun Ning stood on a high place, looking at the spectacular scene of hundreds of thousands of people crawling under his feet, and his heart was inevitably agitated.

At this moment, he truly understood why so many people had tried their best to climb to the top of this supreme power throughout the ages.

Because this feeling of supremacy in heaven and earth, this feeling of all the people in the world fucking me, is far from being comparable to any other temptation.

And now he is only in control of the southwest and the south of the Yangtze River, this kind of pleasure that can manipulate the death of all living beings has already made his heart ripple, so what if it is really time to completely recapture the Great Yue World?

It wasn't until he took a long breath that Sun Ning suppressed these strange thoughts. Now is not the time to think about this, far from the time to enjoy the fruits, both inside and outside, there are still too many enemies eyeing them, waiting for themselves to defeat them one by one, one by one!

As his mind turned, he had already divided his hands equally on his sides and lifted them up vigorously: "Fellow fathers and villagers of Jinling City, you don't have to be so polite, please get up and speak!" ”

In order to allow everyone at the scene to hear his voice, and also to give everyone a stronger impression and effect, Sun Ning has used the luck method of "Absolute Howling Fist" to amplify and spread his voice, enveloping the vast area in front of the palace.

With the re-improvement of his own strength, coupled with the continuous study of the Absolute Xiaogang Fist, he has been able to put the whistle freely. At least when it comes to defeating the enemy, you can already breathe out luck for a long time, which is no different from ordinary speech.

And this kind of performance really caused a greater impact on the people below, and many people's bodies trembled and shook because of it.

In the past, they may have only been hindered by each other's identities that they would have the feeling of worship. But now, in their eyes, His Majesty the Emperor above has really become a god-like figure, and the voice that resounded in every corner alone was already so extraordinary.

Therefore, after His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand again and said, "You all stand up, ......", someone finally obeyed the will and stood up boldly, and then looked up at the tall black figure with admiring eyes, quietly waiting for His Majesty's decree.

After the meal, everyone got up, and Sun Ning also spoke again at this time: "Fellow villagers and elders of Jinling, I have summoned you here today because of a few things that need to be announced.

"This first thing is that I want to apologize to everyone for admitting my mistakes, it was my momentary negligence that led to the Jinling Rebellion a few days ago, which led to the destruction of your homeland, and even the death of your relatives!"

As he spoke, Sun Ning also bent over with his fists clenched and bowed deeply......

Some people died, but not completely......
