Chapter 604: A Cold Thought

The imperial capital is unusually cold.

After the previous catastrophe, the imperial capital withered, everyone on errand was in danger, and the prison had already existed in name only, without any official in charge. After Huang Yuanwu led his troops into the imperial capital, because he wanted to temporarily detain Yang Qin and others, he arranged a few sergeants in the prison. Things in the imperial capital are complicated, after the disappearance of Huang Yuanwu, no one pays attention to here, it coincides with a rare snow disaster, food is in short supply, there are not many prisoners in the prison, and the sergeants guarding will not deliberately take care of it, which directly leads to the desolate condition of many prisoners in the prison.

When Huang Yuanwu found Yang Qin, he already had one breath left.

The pale face should be in the dim candlelight of the prison, looking a little gloomy, a few days of rice has not entered, Yang Qin's breath is a little weak, already on the verge of death, but when he saw Huang Yuanwu appear outside the cell, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole body did not know where the strength came from, he actually stood up from the ground, staggered to the edge of the cell, and looked directly at Huang Yuanwu's eyes.

Huang Yuanwu stood outside the cell, looking at Yang Qin in front of him, his heart was calm. After learning the truth of Qitian, the person in front of him no longer has practical meaning for him, but Huang Yuanwu still has a trace of hatred in his heart, and it is precisely because of this hatred that he came today.

"You...... Hehehe......" Yang Qin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Huang Yuanwu's calm face, he finally turned into a chuckle, shook his head with a trembling body, and stopped talking.

Huang Yuanwu gave a look, and the sergeant who was in charge of guarding the heavenly prison on the side immediately stepped forward and opened the door of Yang Qin's prison, and Huang Yuanwu stepped in, grasping the hilt of his Dongwang sword with one hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, Yang Qin had already learned his fate, or rather, he had already known it when Huang Yuanwu entered the city. Looking at Huang Yuanwu now, Yang Qin didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, and even had a smile on his face, and said softly: "You think you killed me...... Will you be able to get revenge......"

His voice was low, and all the strength of his body was supporting him to stand and not fall, so much so that his voice trembled a little.

Huang Yuanwu didn't speak, waved lightly with one hand, and an obvious light quickly crossed Yang Qin's neck, and the sword was put into the sheath, this action happened in an instant, and the candle flame outside trembled slightly, so that nothing had happened.

The smile on Yang Qin's face was still the same, and a very slight wound suddenly opened on his neck, and a large amount of blood poured out from this wound, instantly dyeing the placket of his chest red.

The expression on Yang Qin's face froze, and a key person who set off the storm of praying for heaven died in the dungeon.

Huang Yuanwu took a step back, not letting the blood flowing out of Yang Qin's body stain his boots, he looked at Yang Qin's smoke, and the expression on his face did not change for half a minute.

Yang Qin's death marked the end of the war in the capital of the Emperor of Qitian; finally, Huang Yuanwu entered the capital of the Emperor of Qitian, the rebellion of the three kings subsided, the culprit Yang Qin was ambushed, and everything seemed to be over.

As the ultimate winner, Huang Yuanwu's heart should feel happy, but he looked at Yang Qin who was lying in a pool of blood, and he could only feel endless coldness in his heart.

Is the winner really the winner......

Looking back on the bits and pieces of the past few months, Huang Yuanwu can no longer distinguish between right and wrong. It seems that it can stir up the war in the world, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses appeared in front of the imperial capital, the war was about to break out, and thousands of lives hung by a thread, but in fact, it was just a struggle for hegemony by a few people from the outside world.

An idea suddenly appeared in Huang Yuanwu's mind, if the person who fell to the ground now was himself, then ......

This thought only appeared for a moment before disappearing, Huang Yuanwu took another look at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, stepped out of the cell, and walked out without looking back, at the same time, he commanded the sergeant guarding the cell: "The corpse will be hung at the head of the city and displayed to the people for seven days." The sergeant immediately received the order, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Maybe Huang Yuanwu didn't feel it himself, but when he came back from the secret realm, he had changed, becoming more vigorous and resolute, and more ruthless.

The previous Emperor Yuanwu could not directly go to the current emperor to ask him to abdicate, and it was impossible to end Yang Qin's life so simply. No one knew what Huang Yuanwu had seen in the secret realm, and no one knew what the agreement was between him and the teleporter.

The boundary gate that covered the sky and the sun was still in mid-air, and Huang Yuanwu came out of the dungeon, took his personal guard, and walked straight out of the palace and entered the street of the imperial capital.

The news of Huang Yuanwu's reappearance spread throughout the entire imperial capital at a very fast speed, and all the fleeing sergeants received orders conveyed by Ding Jiang, after experiencing these, it was difficult for them to react in a short time, without the support of a strong army, the chaos in the imperial capital would not end easily, and Huang Yuanwu personally appeared in the imperial capital to implement his previous orders.

At this moment, the imperial capital is in shambles.

The streets and alleys have been covered with heavy snow for several days, and the streets are covered with heavy snow on both sides. In the distance, a little smoke could be seen, and the residents who had lost their minds set fire to their houses, but under the heavy snow, the fire did not ignite, only billowing smoke.

In the central street, the road is smooth, but on the street, the corpses of the dead can be seen everywhere, and from time to time there are people scurrying around in the street, wanting to take advantage of the chaos in the imperial capital to get some benefits for themselves. Such people are not a few in the imperial capital.

"Civilians return home, take advantage of the fire to robber, and kill no mercy!" Seeing such a situation, Huang Yuanwu frowned, rushed to the personal guards behind him, and gave an order.

Huang Yuanwu's personal guards have a total of seven people, each of them is an outstanding master, the level of a martial artist, obeying Huang Yuanwu's orders, after hearing Huang Yuanwu's order, immediately scattered, with the central street as the center, quickly dispersed around, all the people who saw the fire and robbed, entered the store, burned and looted, and killed without mercy.

Huang Yuanwu's mood was gloomy to the extreme, he held the Dongwang Sword in his hand and went straight to the gate of the imperial capital.

Most of the residents and soldiers of the imperial capital ran out of the imperial capital within an hour of the appearance of the boundary gate, and very few chose to stay at home and wait for death, and those who chose to seize other people's property at this time, burning, killing and looting, but there were more people who stayed at home. Thinking of going through so many things, but finally having to protect such a Li Min, Huang Yuanwu felt an endless disgust from his heart.

With a calm face, he walked in the direction of the gate of the imperial capital.

On the streets, there were many corpses lying all over the place, some of them were trampled to death while fleeing for their lives, and some were killed by others in the process of fighting for property, these people have become dry bones on the side of the road, and all the things that happened before their lives are unknown.

As he was walking forward, there was a sudden noise in the shop next to him, accompanied by the sound of a woman screaming, Huang Yuanwu frowned, turned around, and approached the store in a few steps.

Standing outside the shop, he could hear the sound inside more clearly, mixed with the sound of a woman shouting, but the woman was obviously covered by someone's mouth and nose, and the shouting was not loud, if she wasn't standing at the door, it was really inappropriate.

Huang Yuanwu didn't think about it, he raised his leg and kicked open the door of the shop, this should be a shop dealing in medicinal materials, the front hall was already a mess at the moment, a large number of medicinal materials were thrown to the ground, and the medicine cabinets attached to the wall were pushed to the ground. Huang Yuanwu didn't make a sound, took the Dongwang sword, and went straight to the back room.

Because Huang Yuanwu suddenly raised his leg and kicked the door, the sound was huge, and there was no sound inside, in the darkness, he could only vaguely distinguish the way forward, Huang Yuanwu smelled an extremely thick bloody gas, and his brows couldn't help frowning even tighter.

"Huh......" Suddenly, a gust of yin wind came to him, Huang Yuanwu raised his hand to block, his body was transformed by the secret realm, and the fighting qi in his body had turned into pure white energy, and the white mangs were sheng, accompanied by a sound of "oops", a figure flew out and hit the wall on the side. Although he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly, Huang Yuanwu still instinctively counterattacked, and with a punch, a substantial fist mark went straight forward, directly hitting Fang Cai's body, and the man didn't even snort, and died on the spot.

After doing this, Huang Yuanwu stretched out one hand and activated the qi in his body, and a crystal white ball of light appeared in his palm, and through the white light emitted by this ball of light, he could see everything around him clearly.

This is the back hall of the store, and it is also a mess, in front of him, a man in civilian clothes died in the corner, still holding a long knife in his hand, and it was this person who attacked him. On the side, a sturdy man was holding a woman with a long knife in his hand at the moment, this woman looked like she was dying, looking at Huang Yuanwu's gaze, with endless pleading, her clothes were torn apart, and her face was dirty, and the big man behind him stared at Huang Yuanwu viciously, and after seeing the ball of light in his hand, there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

"You...... Who are you!Don't move, I'll kill her if you move!" Seeing Huang Yuanwu's gaze turned, Dahan immediately shouted hoarsely, and at the same time, the long knife in his hand was even closer to the woman, and a cut had been made in her neck, and red blood trickled out.

Huang Yuanwu's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at this big man's eyes, like looking at a dead man again, he didn't step forward, but looked left and right, and saw a chair that hadn't been turned over, and he didn't think about it, and sat straight up.

The big man stared at Huang Yuanwu, his heart became more and more frightened, the hand holding the knife trembled a little, compared to what he said, he himself did not dare to act rashly, the person in front of him was obviously a cultivator, and there was no difference between wanting to kill him and pinching an ant to death.

Huang Yuanwu sat on a chair, looked left and right in the room, and in the corner on the side, he saw three corpses piled up together, and blood kept flowing out of the corpses, which must have been done by the two people who broke in. The three corpses were one old and one young, and a small teenager. Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze shifted, and he looked at the woman in front of him.

"This is all your family?" Huang Yuanwu asked softly.

The woman was held by the big man's neck, there was no way to resist, and she couldn't open her mouth to speak, she looked at Huang Yuanwu, with pleading in her eyes, and nodded fiercely, even if because of the nod, the wound on her neck was a little deeper.

"You killed?" Huang Yuanwu looked at Dahan again and asked.

As soon as Dahan was asked by Huang Yuanwu, he immediately felt like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body trembled badly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes...... I killed it, whatever! Even if Lao Tzu dies today, it's enough!"

"Good. Huang Yuanwu nodded, his palms were closed, and the ball of light in his palms suddenly went out.

In the next moment, Dahan suddenly felt that the surroundings were cold, and the long knife in his hand was involuntarily thrown on the ground, and the hand that was originally holding the woman involuntarily let go, and the woman suddenly disappeared.

He suddenly felt a little hot in his neck, and reached out to touch it, but he felt a sticky liquid.

Before he could shout, the body of the big man fell straight to the ground and died on the spot.

When the woman came back to her senses in a panic, the figure that had saved her just now had disappeared, and outside the store, a cold wind blew, and the house was cold.

The woman trembled and picked up the long knife on the ground, and rushed at the big man who fell to the ground, slashing frantically and shouting hysterically.

This is just the tip of the iceberg that has taken place within the imperial capital. Huang Yuanwu's heart was cold.

The common people...... Is that what I want......
