Chapter 221: The Imperial Capital (8) (Thank you CHIMERA for your big tip!)
Timely update, outside the Imperial Capital, the Eighth Praetorian Guard Legion blocked the main road back to the Imperial Capital in Tianbi Mountain, all the members of the Dragoon Army are cultivating in the Tianbi Mountain, and after receiving the signal from the Imperial Capital, Cao Chun, the Blood Mo Knife, led people to the Imperial Capital, but they were indeed greeted by the strong bows and crossbows of the Eighth Praetorian Guard Legion, stainless steel shields, and hundreds of thousands of troops, Cao Chun stood at the front of the front and looked at the soldiers in front coldly, the soldiers of the Dragoon Army had already set up their jiashi, and the three brothers Xiao Feng stood in the center of the team, looking anxious, but the three of them were not impulsive, and the three of them left the Dragoon Army and the three of them were looking for deathγ
"Cao Dutong, this is a letter from Gonggong Zhang to you, and there is a holy decree here, I don't know which one you want to see first?" Zhang Ren, the acting commander of the Eighth Praetorian Guard Legion, looked at Cao Chun with two things in his hand, but the dragoon army of less than 1,000 people was surrounded by a full army of 200,000 people, even if the personal combat strength of the dragoon army was strong, there was no way to face the heavily armed Praetorian Guard.
Cao Chun looked at the two things in Zhang Ren's hand, the expression on his face moved, and the hand holding the battle knife couldn't help but move: "I want to know what happened to the Imperial Capital?
Zhang Ren shook his head, his eyes locked on Cao Chun: "I can't tell you about this now, but you will know soon, you still decide which one to look at first, right?" β
Cao Chun slowly sneered and slowly walked in front of Zhang Ren, and glanced at Zhang Ren: "Don't you say, I want to go and see for myself, tell me, what happened to the emperor? Is it that King He Ling has been killed?"
Zhang Ren nodded, and Cao Chun's face changed. The hands holding the war knife couldn't help but start exerting force, making a sound of bone rubbing, Cao Chun turned to look at his soldiers, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the Praetorian Guards around him were all killing gods. There is not even a slashing immortal arrow with a lower power, if Cao Chun breaks through with them now, it's not that he can't leave, but he doesn't know how many people can get out alive.
"I have a choice, but I need my guarantee for the lives of my men, and if you want to kill any of them, I will not agree. "Although Cao Chun became the commander of this dragoon army with iron-blooded means, he really loves soldiers like a son. The soldiers of the Dragoon Army gradually joined Cao Chun's command.
Zhang Ren nodded and said: "My father-in-law has already said that he doesn't want to force people, if there are really people who don't know each other, then he won't be polite to people, but I personally can treat it as not seeing." If anyone does not want to follow his father-in-law, he can take off his armor and leave, but I will only give you an hour, after which I will issue an order to arrest these deserters. β
Cao Chun nodded, there are many people in the dragoon army who have received He Muping's great favor. If he rashly surrendered Zhang Rang with them, not to mention what these soldiers thought in their hearts, even Cao Chun himself would not be at ease. He Muping was killed, so the many civil and military officials under He Muping's command must have also been affected. It is unlikely that this part of the people will choose to surrender to Zhang Rang, at least Cao Chun can be sure that Xiao Feng, whom he likes the most, will not follow Zhang Rang. He died and Liu Fan's guards were born.
Cao Chun nodded and picked up Zhang Rang's letter in Zhang Ren's hand. Zhang Ren smiled and handed the holy decree in his hand to the deputy general on the side, and the deputy general took out another holy decree from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ren. Cao Chun's face was pale after reading the letter, and the officers who followed behind didn't know what happened in the imperial capital, but looking at Cao Chun's face, they knew that something was about to happen, Cao Chun set the letter in his hand on fire and turned it into ashes, staring at Zhang Ren with sharp eyes.
"Don't be surprised by Cao Dutong, for your father-in-law, I specially invited two holy decrees, I think the content of them can be guessed, and all the dragoons accept the decree. Zhang Ren smiled, took a step forward with the holy decree in his hand, Cao Chun's face changed, and he still took the lead and knelt down, and the soldiers behind him knelt down in the friction of a piece of armor. ...,
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Uncle He Muping intended to rebel, has been beheaded to show the public, stripped of the title, you must abandon the secret and surrender to the light, from the command of the imperial court, all officials are promoted to one level, according to the official rank, there is another reward, Qin this!"
"Thank you, Lord Longen!" Cao Chun knelt on the ground and accepted the holy decree, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he didn't expect this Zhang Rang to be so ruthless, and he actually killed He Muping, who was leaning towards the government and the opposition, in an instant, and the dragoon soldiers kneeling on the ground had already blown up the nest, and King He Ling was actually killed, just a day's work, and his subordinates were all divided?
Cao Chun looked at the team behind him expressionlessly, holding the holy decree in his hand, all the dragoon soldiers stood quietly in place, Cao Chun swept everyone and said: "Okay, I don't want to explain so much to you now that the time is urgent, now you can freely choose to stay, I, Cao Chun, will never stop you." β
Cao Chun's words were like an order to disband the army, which instantly detonated the entire team of the Dragoons, and all the people were you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do. But among them, there are people who also know what to do, Xu Lingfeng and Xiao Feng, the three brothers, stood up.
"Thank you for the care of the Metropolitan Commander during this time, and we will not be able to serve under the Metropolitan Commander in the future, so we will leave it at that. Xu Lingfeng didn't wait for Cao Chun to reply before he disappeared, and the three Xiao Feng brothers also said a word to Cao Chun and flew towards the imperial capital, they must rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible and go to the Liu family to protect them.
"Do you still have anyone to leave?" Cao Chun's face was a little ugly, dozens of people had left one after another, including Cao Chun's favorite generals, and most of the people who stayed were also on the sidelines, and the people who had contact with He Muping at home were gone, Cao Chun's voice was very cold, and it was so cold that people were a little scared.
The Dragoon, the strongest legion in the empire, took refuge in Zhang Rang in this way, this matter can be said to be neither big nor small, the army of more than one million people in the imperial capital has become Zhang Rang's people This matter is much smaller than that, but the dragon cavalry commander Cao Chun swore allegiance to Zhang Rang but also hung up a lot of turmoil, of course, all this did not affect the situation in the imperial capital, the imperial capital's purge continued, but most of the Praetorian Guards responsible for the purging did not work, which also made more civil and military officials flee the imperial capital.
Part of the remote city gate of the imperial capital is still under the control of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. For example, the Feifeng Gate and the Yuyue Gate in the imperial capital, the two relatively remote and short city gates are still under the control of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and Jing Ke, who got Guo Jia's tips, did not rush out of the city, but turned around and walked to the depths of the imperial capital with his fifteen subordinates again. And Dugu Nan quickly left the imperial capital with his team.
"Father-in-law, Dugu Nan left the imperial capital with his 50,000 horses, should we send someone to intercept it?" Yang Tong, the commander of the Third Praetorian Guard Legion, stood beside Zhang Rang, looking at the men and horses who left the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division from the two gates of Yuyue Gate and Feifeng Gate, frowning, exuding a strong murderous aura all over his body.
Zhang Rang shook his head, looking at the direction of the Pingxi Wangfu with deep eyes, this is the family that Zhang Rang must eradicate. Now the people and killers he sent should have surrounded them, as long as this family is eradicated, there will be no family in the entire empire that can threaten the status from now on, even if Liu Fan is a genius that is rare in ten thousand years. Does he alone want to fight against the entire empire?
The riots in the imperial capital have basically been controlled, and Zhang Rang is not like a big cleanup of the empire's civil and military officials, not to mention that many of them were originally his Zhang Rang's people, and the empire's Praetorian Guards quickly took control of the situation, and the Praetorian Guards began to search for those who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. The streets were full of patrolling Praetorian Guards. Everywhere was the sound of arresting fugitives, Jing Ke stood on the roof of a high-rise building in the imperial capital and watched it all coldly, while his fifteen subordinates had been scattered to all corners of the imperial capital. ...,
Night has finally fallen, and the chaotic imperial capital has finally ushered in a trace of tranquility. But this is not the end, a new round of all-out reshuffling is underway in the palace. The one who sat at the top was Zhang Rang, and it turned out to be the emperor of the empire, Ximen Ye. At this time, Ximen Ye was snuggling up to his sisters in horror, and the four permanent servants were also sitting opposite Zhang Rang with an excited face.
"Father-in-law, you see that the current court is also up to us, don't you think?" Wei Xian's eyes were fixed on the princess Ximen Yan, who was known as the flower of the empire, Zhang Rang snorted coldly, and Wei Xian quickly withdrew his gaze and lay on the ground.
"There are some things that are yours and I will give you, if it's not yours, don't think about asking for it, tomorrow morning, the morning dynasty will be carried out normally, although we control the imperial capital, but there are a few people in various places who can obey our orders, you go and pass the order, I need Liu Fan's head." Tell those people that I did what I had to do and that I needed to see their sincerity. Zhang Rang's face was very light, his face was tired, there were many people who fled in the imperial capital, but this is fine, there are many fewer obstacles, Zhang Rang waved his hand, and the four of them did not dare to speak and retreated.
"Zhang Rang, what do you want to do?" Ximen Yan looked at Zhang Rang coldly, Ximen Yan has not only extraordinary beauty, but also a smart mind, but she doesn't like these power struggles, in her opinion, no matter how Zhang He and the two fight, the power of the empire will eventually return to the hands of their Ximen family, but this time what Zhang Rang did completely subverted her Shijie concept.
Zhang Rang didn't return to Ximen Yan's words, waved his hand, and dozens of Jin Wuwei on duty forcibly took the five people down, Zhang Rang forced his eyes to sit on the top, not knowing what he was thinking, but the expression on his face was constantly changing. Zhang Rang's fingers tapped, several black-clothed people appeared in front of Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang's fingers were raised, and several black-clothed people disappeared, and at this moment Jing Ke also appeared in the imperial palace of the empire, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he Zhang Ranghui, Guo Jia is even more proficient in this way, the empire is now in chaos, how can Guo Jia miss this trick of the Son of Heaven.
Jing Ke's figure continued to appear on the roofs of various palaces in Daming Palace like a ghost, and Jing Ke of Daming Palace didn't know how many times he came, he had long been familiar with the road here, and this time he came to the palace to find an opportunity to take Ximen Ye. The palace was very quiet, even a little weird, Qiu Huatong sat in the worship tower and slowly opened his eyes, and the throat of the hellhound beside him snorted twice and followed Qiu Huatong's figure to flash out to worship him.
This is the first time Jing Ke has been perceived, Jing Ke held Tai'a in his hand and looked at Qiu Huatong in front of him coldly, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hung a smile, Jing Ke was not surprised to be discovered, a mountain is higher than a mountain, not to mention that Jing Ke's strength is far from being able to completely hide his breath from being discovered.
"You are Jing Ke, I have heard about it a long time ago, I didn't stop you when you came here several times, but this time it doesn't work, you can leave." Qiu Huatong didn't have the domineering style that he usually killed He Mu during the day, and his tone was still full of the tone of the elders reprimanding the juniors.
Jing Ke shook his head and slowly pulled out the Tai'a in his hand, Tai'a buzzed, Jing Ke looked at Qiu Huatong coldly with one hand, and couldn't help but get excited in his heart, people who practice martial arts want to learn from masters, and now Jing Ke is also eager to find someone is his own strength.
