Volume 1 Mandate of Heaven Chapter 18 Return to Dongyang City (Heartbreaking)

Dongfang Xue rushed all the way to her home, occasionally finding an inn to stay for a while and have a meal.

Luoluo was already young, and after a few days of hard work, he had already lost weight, Dongfang Xue watched Luoluo eat a big meal, and occasionally heard the conversation of the diners next door.

One diner said to another, "Have you heard?"

Another diner shook his head in confusion: "What?"

The diner slapped his thigh and then sighed and said, "Dongyang City's Dongfang Palace, was engulfed and destroyed by a fire overnight."

"What? what about the Lord of the East?" asked another diner in surprise.

"There are some of the remaining servants who are still alive, I heard that they were beheaded by the emperor's order not long ago, didn't you read the notice on the city wall? It says that the Eastern Mansion intends to rebel......" The diner said softly to the people around him.

"Impossible, the prince of the East has always taken good care of the people of the East, not like a rebel?" the diner next to him shook his head and said softly.

"Who knows...... Hey, it's going to change......"

"Eat, eat. ”

After Dongfang Xue heard this conversation, she put the unfinished rice back on the table, and she had already lost her appetite. On the way home, Dongfang Xue heard the rumors about the family over and over again, but every time she heard these rumors, her heart would tremble and beat for a long time.

Luoluo was still stuffing chicken legs in his mouth, Dongfang Xue looked out the window, if nothing happened tonight, he would be able to arrive in Dongyang City early tomorrow morning......

By the time I returned to Dongyang City, it had already been seven days later, and it was still the familiar city gate and the familiar street. Dongfang Xue walked into the city gate, only to see that the doors of the large and small shops on the streets along the way were hung with white sails, and the whole city was very quiet, and the people on both sides of the street saw that Dongfang Xue more or less knew the little master of the Dongfang family, and everyone consciously gave way to it.

Dongfang Xue rode towards Dongfang Wangfu with Luoluo, in fact, Dongfang Xue should have already guessed the result, but there has always been an obsession in her heart - they will be fine, no!

Dongfang Xue came to the Dongfang Palace, the solemn palace in the past has long been unrecognizable, the place where Dongfang Xue grew up, it has only been a month, and it has become like this, and there are still burnt ruins in it with slight smoke.

Dongfang Xue dismounted, followed by Dongyang City people of all ages, Dongfang Xue handed Luoluo to a native of Dongyang City, and then turned around:

Mother- Father-

Dongfang Xue rushed into the Dongfang Palace, remembering that when she went home yesterday, her grandfather and father greeted her happily, why did she ...... today Why is it like this today......

Dongfang Xue rushed into the palace, and the former houses were engulfed in flames, leaving only some charred earthen wall tiles.

Walking further inside, I saw a group of dead people lying on the ground, all of them were scorched by the fire, and the dark faces, bursts of foul smell rushed towards Dongfang Xue, Dongfang Xue hurriedly walked forward to identify, when Dongfang Xue knelt on the ground and wanted to identify who this was, but found that everyone had already lost their skin, how to identify it......

Dongfang Xue raised her head, and the Dongfang Palace, which was once full of lights, was now full of people from the dead Dongfang family.

"Ahh

Dongfang Xue shouted twice, fell to the ground and cried, and Luo Luo walked in and hugged Dongfang Xue's trembling body and cried.

Just as Dongfang Xue was crying on the ground, a quarrel suddenly came to mind outside the door of the mansion.

Dongfang Xue hung her arms, swaying like a soulless person, and followed the sound of the quarrel to the door of the mansion.

"Where is the evil seed of the Dongfang family! It's been almost half a month to find him......" I saw a group of armor soldiers surrounding the Dongfang Palace, and the word 'Praetorian Guard' was engraved on the armor of the leader.

"I am the remnant of the Dongfang family!Who are you?" Dongfang Xue asked, staring at the commander of the Praetorian Guard in front of him.

"I am the captain of the first brigade of the Imperial Court with a knife and the first brigade of the Praetorian Guard, the emperor has an order, see the Dongfang family - there is no forgiveness for killing" The commander of the Praetorian Guard immediately ordered.

A group of armor soldiers surrounded Dongfang Snow in the middle.

Dongfang Xue still had tears flowing on her face, and she still asked without sadness or arrogance: "Where are the survivors of my Dongfang family?"

"The emperor has decreed that they were all cut down seven days ago, and now you are alone in the Dongfang family! The Janissary Commander looked at the eleven-year-old child in front of him with a smile and said word by word.

"I'm alone...... I'm alone?" Dongfang Xue muttered silently, with endless misery in her eyes.

Luoluo was frightened by the formation in front of him, hugging Dongfang Xue's waist, just as the two children were in front of Dongfang Mansion, about to be taken away and killed to apologize, a large crowd suddenly poured out not far away.

"Let go of the little boy of the East!"

"Let go of the little boy ...... the East"

......

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw groups of ordinary people in Dongyang City, some holding pickaxes and sticks, and some holding big swords and sharp swords rushing towards the Eastern Palace.

Dongfang Xue fell to her knees on the ground, tears burst into tears, and her heart was torn apart: My Dongfang family has worked hard for the Huangfu Dynasty for hundreds of years, but in the end, it ended up like this......

The Janissary Commander looked at the crowd, all shirtless, and soon surrounded him. The armorers also looked left and right, not knowing what to do.

"Let the little boy of the East leave!" the people shouted to the Praetorian Guards.

"Even if my old guy dies here, the little boy of the East will have to get out of Dongyang City today," said a half-hundred-year-old man with a white beard and a slightly thin body bare-chested, standing in front of the crowd with a pickaxe.

"Let the little boy leave! Let the little boy leave ......"

The Janissary Commander looked at the people in front of him on his horse and did not speak, and after a while, a Praetorian Guard arrived on horseback and said something in the ear of the Praetorian Guard, and then he saw a group of Praetorian Guards coming not far away, with three or four thousand people.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard suddenly had the confidence to say to the people of Dongyang City: "Boldly disrupt the people! The Dongfang Palace's rebellion, I have ordered to come here to kill the thief, who dares to stop me - there is no forgiveness for killing!"

After the commander of the Praetorian Guard finished speaking, plus the three or four thousand people who had just arrived, a total of six or seven thousand Praetorian Guards all drew their swords and stared at the people in front of them.

But the people were not frightened by this, and all of them raised their pickaxes and broadswords high, and the battle was ready to start.

Just when the two sides were scorching, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

- Whoever dares to touch the Dongfang family will be killed!

Someone came to pick up a few Praetorian Guards, and when they came to the gate of Dongfang Mansion, several generals dismounted and ran to Dongfang Xue, knelt on the ground and clenched their fists and said:

"The commander of the thirteenth army of the Eastern Army-Yan Nan meets the prince of the east!"

Everyone behind him dismounted and knelt towards Dongfang Xue.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard recognized Yan Nan and said: "Bold Yan Nan, if you don't guard the eastern border and leave your head privately, what crime should you be guilty of!"

Yan Nan didn't pay attention to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face: "Little boy! I waited until I knew that this matter was three days ago, and I rushed back non-stop, but it was still too late, please punish the little prince!

The generals behind Yan Nan all cried on the ground.

Dongfang Xue stood up, straightened her chest, and said to the generals kneeling on the ground, "Uncles, please get up!"

The generals hid their faces and stood up.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard was very angry when he saw that Yan Nan didn't take care of him, so he continued to scold: "Yan Nan, I order you to return to the eastern border immediately, otherwise I will report to the Holy Lord and punish you with death!"

Yan Nan looked at Dongfang Xue and then knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said, "Please order the king of the east, the alien of the east - there is no forgiveness for killing!"

The generals behind Yan Nan knelt down together: "Please give an order from the King of the East!

And all the people of the city fell to their knees on the ground.

Dongfang Xue looked around at the soldiers outside, as well as the people of Dongyang City, and said in her heart: "Father, grandfather, you are not wrong in teaching the children, everyone has a heart...... Have your spirits seen it in heaven, and the soldiers have not forgotten, and the people have not forgotten......"

"Bold Yan Nan! I have 10,000 guards here! Do you want to rely on these bold people to disobey the holy decree!" shouted the Janissary Commander to Yan Nan.

Yan Nan still knelt on the ground and said to Dongfang Xue: "Lord Dongfang, this time I came with twenty generals, 80,000 soldiers, and 80,000 soldiers and horses are just outside Dongyang City, please give an order from the King of Dongfang - Dongfang dissidents will be killed!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please give the order of the king of the east! Please give the order of the king of the east!"

The Commander of the Praetorian Guard was really scared at this moment, and when he heard that Yan Nan had brought 80,000 horses, the Commander of the Praetorian Guard was already intimidated.

Dongfang Xue wiped her tears and said loudly to the people and soldiers kneeling on the ground:

"Uncles, aunts, and aunts, and others are all from my grandfather's generation. ”

"I don't know anything! The border guards don't know anything! Why don't they tell us?"

"Because they don't want to see this happen today! Dongyang City, the entire East, should not have another war!"

"The revenge of my Oriental family should be avenged by me! It's not the people's business!"

"The whole East is safe and sound! I think it's my grandfather's father's last wish!"

"Please all my uncles, aunts, and aunts in Dongyang City go home now!

But all the people did not move, all the people were unwilling, the Oriental palace was conscientious, the people and soldiers were obvious to all, and now they were wronged and beheaded all over the house, and everyone was unwilling in their eyes!

"Yan Nan listens to the order!" Dongfang Xue saw that no one moved, so she shouted to Yan Nan.

"In!" Yan Nan knelt on the ground.

"Commander of the Praetorian Guard, he is guilty of killing my people!

"Yan Nan commands!" Yan Nan got up and walked towards the Praetorian Guard.

"Yan Nan, do you want to rebel!" the Praetorian Guard commander stepped back on his horse.

General Yan Nan stepped forward, and in less than two moves, the head of the Janissary Commander was cut off.

The Praetorian Guards were staring at each other left and right at the moment, not knowing what to do.

Dongfang Xue said to Yan Nan again: "I also ask my uncle to drive these guards away from Dongyang City, and then order the 80,000 soldiers outside the city to return to their posts." ”

"This ...... Childe, our Eastern Army is 480,000 people, as long as Childe gives an order, it should not be difficult for the Huangfu Dynasty to change the Oriental......"

If this is done, the people of the dynasty will be separated by the war. Isn't my Dongfang family really bullying the king, and from now on, my Dongfang family will be called unkind and unjust, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

"Yes, the subordinates will let them go back!"

When the guards heard that Dongfang Xue was going to let them go, they hurriedly ran away, and it would be a fool not to run at this time.

Dongfang Xue turned around, looked at the appearance of Dongfang Wangfu, and walked in again, there were memories of his childhood, and there were his relatives who fell asleep......
