Qin Zhong was beheaded and sacrificed.
Very happy!
Zhang Juming, Shi Rui and other veteran ministers finally felt that the heavy stone hanging in their hearts was broken.
The dark clouds and fog that shrouded the Beijing and Zhou dynasties quietly dissipated at this moment.
There is a scene of parting through the clouds and mist to see the sun.
When the news that Qin Zhong was cut off from the sacrificial flag spread out of the palace, there were cheers after cheers in the cities of Beijing and Zhou.
Shouting: Long live the Empress!
Although no woman has ever been an emperor in history, the empress did something very satisfying just six months after she ascended the throne.
Kill the traitor, Qin Zhong.
So at this moment, the dignitaries, aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, and common people in Beijing and Zhoucheng accepted the empress.
As long as it is good for the world and beneficial to them, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor.
This is how Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty paved the way for the empress.
By killing and raping the traitor Qin Zhong, the empress can gain some hearts.
As for the rest, it depends on the empress's own talents. If she has the ability, she can dominate the world and govern the world.
If you don’t have the ability, let someone else do it.
…
In front of the Hall of Justice.
Lu Ning and others had already heard the cheers rising from the Imperial City of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
"That treacherous Qin Zhong is finally dead!" Gu Wushuang and others were also very happy.
Lu Ning didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that many people should be excited at this moment.
The most excited person is probably Mu Yan.
Mu Yan was the most unjust person. He was imprisoned on the second floor of the Sky Prison for decades, all because of Qin Zhong's slander.
Soon, the news of Qin Zhong's murder also spread to Zhuxian City.
When Yue Xiao learned that Qin Zhong was beheaded by the empress, his expression was extremely complicated.
The clenched fists were slowly loosened.
He stared outside the hall without saying a word, but the coldness in his eyes gradually melted away.
Heavenly prison.
Area D on the first floor, in front of Cell No. 3.
Lu Ning came over alone and looked at Kang Langcai with a smile.
"Master Lu!"
Kang Langcai thought he was being deceived, so he rubbed his dry eyes, and when he saw it was still Lu Ning, he said with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen Mr. Lu for a long time, I miss you so much!"
"Hahaha……!"
Lu Ning grabbed the iron fence and laughed loudly, then opened the cell door for a moment: "Master Kang, let's go."
Kang Lang was stunned for a moment: "Master Lu, where are you taking the old man to?"
Lu Ning laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you outside for a walk."
When Kang Lang heard this, he held the iron fence motionless with his withered old hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Lu, the old man is used to living here, and he doesn't want to go out for a walk!"
"Let's go!"
Lu Ning walked into the cell and dragged Kang Langcai.
"Master Lu, please, please give me a meal before I can be decapitated..." Kang Langcai howled and held on to the iron fence.
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then he directly carried Kang Lang and walked out of the prison.
Kang Langcai sighed: "Alas! I, Kang Langcai, have finally come out of the prison. Let the old man take a last look at the sky..."
Outside the prison.
Kang Langcai's wife, son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter were all there, looking at the old man.
Old, helpless, and confused.
Mrs. Kang's eyes instantly turned red.
"master!"
The sound of "Master" evoked Kang Langcai's dream.
This was the sound he wanted to hear in his dreams.
"lady!"
I saw my wife, my son, my daughter-in-law, and my family.
Kang Lang didn't hold back for a moment, sat on the ground and started crying loudly.
Lu Ning stood aside and didn't feel comfortable watching.
Kang Langcai probably never thought that he could still walk out of the prison alive.
The family rushed up, hugged Kang Lang and cried bitterly.
After a long time.
Kang Lang stopped crying, stood up, looked at Lu Ning and said, "Master Lu, this, this...!"
"Grandpa, the treacherous Qin Zhong was beheaded, beheaded by the empress!" A pretty little girl, fifteen or sixteen years old, with big red eyes, pulled Kang Lang and said.
Kang Lang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter and burst into tears: "The sky is open, that traitor is finally dead!"
Shouting, he knelt down in the direction of the palace: "Long live the empress, long live the empress!"
The family shouted along.
Lu Ning smiled and walked towards the outside of the prison: "Master Kang, you are free. From tomorrow, your official position will be restored."
Kang Langcai was stunned for a long time and shouted: "Old man Kang Langcai thanks your majesty for your kindness and Lord Lu!"
Suddenly thinking about his granddaughter, he grabbed the fair-skinned little granddaughter and shouted: "Mr. Lu, this is the old man's granddaughter... Mr. Lu, don't run away...!"
"I can just stay with you and be a maid!...Why did you run away?"
Kang Lang turned around and looked at his confused little granddaughter. She was so beautiful!
…
Gu Fengtang led one hundred thousand flying dragons. The flying dragons were horses, also called dragon colts, which were tall and mighty.
Dragon colts are hybrids that are not only powerful, but also fast and long-lived.
For the imperial court, it was extremely difficult and expensive to cultivate a dragon colt.
Therefore, there are always 100,000 Flying Dragon Riders.
The dragon colts trained later are all to supplement the flying dragon riders.
Pei rides with one hundred thousand black tigers, and when he sits up, he becomes a black tiger.
The black tiger is three and a half meters long and extremely majestic. Its running speed is no slower than that of a dragon colt. It also has attack power and a very high combat level.
Two hundred thousand troops, including the one hundred thousand troops led by Zhang Sheng, plus the Luotian City defenders.
A total of 350,000 soldiers came down.
In the court.
The Qin Mansion was raided, and officials of Qin Zhong's line were investigated, including the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites, such as Li Hongmao, the Minister of Rites, Sun Yin, the Minister of the Ministry of Husband, and others.
May 15th.
Kang Langcai was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu, and together with Zhang Juming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments and Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, he investigated the Ministry of Hubu and the Ministry of Rites from top to bottom.
In addition, the Zhenmo Division fully cooperates.
Within two days, hundreds of officials from Beijing and Zhou were imprisoned.
Many people were imprisoned in dungeons and prisons.
This day.
The Ordnance Bureau sent people to the Demon-Suppressing Division with 68,000 sets of armor weapons.
Lu Ning called Chen Hu, Zuo Hongchen and others to transport all the armors and weapons back to each department for distribution.
"Master Lu, this armor is yours!" Pei Tianbei appeared in front of Lu Ning holding a beautiful dark black armor in his hands.
Lu Ning took a look and saw that the Xuanjia Iron Clothes had been forged into a brand new armor. It looked not as hard as before, but more flexible with super strength.
"How about it? The heart-protecting mirror and the armor formation method were all made by Master Jianzheng himself."
"After the armor was made, Master Jianzheng commented that it was the best finished product he had ever made in his life."
Lu Ning was slightly stunned: "Mr. Jian Zheng made it himself?"
Pei Tianbei nodded excitedly: "Master Lu, if you wear him and go to the battlefield, it will definitely be a super defense. Coupled with your strength, one person can withstand an army of 300,000 people."
Lu Ning curled his lips in silence, what a pity, he couldn't go to the battlefield!
I immediately put the armor on and tried it on. It felt much lighter than before.
Wearing dark armor and matching the young man's heroic face, he looked like a young god of war.
"Attack me!"
"Brother Lu, I'm afraid of hurting you."
"...Stop talking nonsense and attack me!"
"Oh well."
Pei Tianbei drew out his Winter Thunder Sword and slashed at Lu Ning's armor.
Buzz!
The long knife struck the armor, and the armor immediately shone with dark light, knocking the Winter Thunder Knife away.
"You are not powerful enough!"
Lu Ning glanced at Pei Tianbei, then swept his eyes and shouted: "Chen Hu, come and attack me!"
Chen Hu knew that Lu Ning's second-grade cultivation level would definitely not be able to hurt Lu Ning.
He immediately drew out the Winter Thunder Sword and slashed towards the armor with a flash of cold light.
Buzz!
The same scene appeared again, the dark black light flashed, shaking the winter thunder knife in Chen Hu's hand away, and Chen Hu himself also took two steps back in shock.
"Sir, what a set of armor!" Chen Hu praised.
Lu Ning nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed a good set of armor and said, "I will call you the Demon-Suppressing Iron Armor from now on."
After taking off the demon-suppressing iron clothes, Lu Ning looked at Chen Hu and others and said: "Armor and heavy sword, one set for each person. In the afternoon, we will start training the art of combined attacks on horseback."
There are 70,000 powerful horses raised by the Demon Suppressing Division. Although each horse is not as good as a dragon colt, it is also extremely strong in physical strength and has a stable base.
If turned into an army, there would be 68,000 cavalry and a reserve team of 2,000 people, a total of 70,000 people.
However, the demon-suppressing people are prepared to stay and guard the demon-suppressing division.
…
Luotian City.
One of the five major cities in the Zhou Dynasty, it is located in the southwest of Yunzhou.
now.
Gu Fengtang has arrived at Luotian City with one hundred thousand flying dragon cavalry, and Pei Tong's one hundred thousand black tiger cavalry are still behind.
From the time King Yongshan sent troops to the present, in just two days, most of Sangzhou and part of Yezhou were captured by the Yinjia Army, and the city was occupied.
Yunzhou is the central hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, very close to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty, so the overall strength of the city defenders is twice as strong as that of other places.
even so.
King Yongshan personally put on armor and went into battle, Tu Chenglong commanded the army, passed through Juhu City and attacked the city eight thousand miles southwest of Yunzhou. The neat army gathered at the foot of Luotian City.
Occupying Luotian City is equivalent to capturing half of Yunzhou's territory.
"Qing Jun is on his side and the country is in trouble. Kill Qin Zhong and pacify the world!"
King Yongshan stood on the luxurious chariot, and the chariot slowly came to the front.
As he shouted, all the soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound was loud.
Tu Chenglong was riding a five-meter-long black panther, which was extremely ferocious. He looked at his subordinates and said, "Bantuo, step forward and call for battle."
"It's the marshal!"
The general named Banduo is sitting on a crossbred horse with horns on its head. When it runs, there is lightning between the horns.
This horse is called Lightning Beast and is known for its speed.
Banduo quickly arrived at the west gate of Luotian City and shouted: "Listen up, people on the city. There are traitors in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which are causing harm to the country and the people. Today, King Yongshan has brought his troops to 'Qingjun's side, and the country is in trouble.' If you open the city gate and surrender to King Yongshan, , will definitely become famous in the future...!"
Just as he was talking, on the west gate of the city wall, Gu Fengtang was dressed in dark purple armor and looked very powerful. He was followed by generals such as Zhang Sheng and others.
"Bring me the bow!"
Gu Fengtang shouted in a deep voice.
Zhang Sheng immediately handed over a dragon bow. Gu Fengtang didn't even look at it. He picked up the bow and nocked an arrow. The bow was drawn into a full moon. The arrow was like fire and shot out with a bang.
"Be bold!"
Bantuo roared angrily and wanted to rush up from the Lightning Beast and kill him on the city wall.
As a result, he was shot to the ground by an arrow and glided along the ground for dozens of meters. His armor almost caught fire.
The lightning beast quickly appeared in front of Ban Tuo. Ban Tuo got on his horse, ran a distance, pointed at Gu Fengtang and sneered: "Gu Fengtang, are you my marshal's opponent?"
Gu Fengtang didn't answer, turned around and walked down the city wall.
Soon, thousands of flying dragon riders walked out of the west city gate and lined up.
"Tu Chenglong stepped forward to answer."
Gu Fengtang sat on the dragon colt and shouted in a deep voice, and the sound spread loudly.
After Tu Chenglong heard this, he glanced at King Yongshan.
King Yongshan nodded: "Let's see what he wants to say."
Tu Chenglong nodded and rode the black panther forward.
For a moment, he and Gu Fengtang stood ten feet apart.
"Tu Chenglong congratulates Marshal Gu."
Tu Chenglong slightly raised his fists and said expressionlessly.
Gu Fengtang chuckled: "Do you know why I don't call you Marshal?"
Tu Chenglong said nothing.
Gu Fengtang said solemnly: "Because you are a rebel and unworthy!"
Tu Chenglong took a deep breath and said: "Gu Shuai, you and I are also old comrades in arms. You should understand that there is no such thing as a rebel. As long as you are serving the world, it doesn't matter if you are called a rebel."
Gu Fengtang said nothing and let a flying dragon rider from behind step forward. The flying dragon rider was holding Qin Zhong's head.
Tu Chenglong looked over and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Qin Zhong was actually killed by the empress?
"Qin Zhong is dead, can King Yongshan stop his troops and guard the demon clan in southern Xinjiang?" Gu Fengtang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Tu Chenglong turned around and left without answering.
"My lord, Qin Zhong, he was killed by the empress!" Tu Chenglong appeared in front of King Yongshan and said with a solemn expression.
However, King Yongshan was not panicked at all. With or without Qin Zhong, he would attack Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Qin Zhong's life or death is not important at all. What is important is that this king must sit on that throne.
"Qin Zhong is dead, doesn't he still have his favorite minister Lu Ning? They are the same as each other." King Yongshan said coldly.
Only then did Tu Chenglong react and nodded repeatedly.
Lu Ning was the empress's favorite, and the empress would definitely be reluctant to kill him.
"Kill Lu Ning and bring peace to the world!"
Tu Chenglong shouted, and hundreds of thousands of troops immediately shook the sky in unison.
Under the west gate of the city, Gu Fengtang was slightly stunned when he heard this.
For a moment, he sneered.
That's right. With the temperament of King Yongshan, how could he possibly turn around and return to Yongzhou if he sent his troops to attack here?
I would rather die than go back.
War is inevitable.
Return to the city immediately.
Not long after, Bantuo came with his men to provoke, curse, and ask Gu Fengtang to go out of the city to fight.
Gu Fengtang asked someone to put up the no-war card.
The ten generals of Feilongqi, as well as Zhang Sheng and others, didn't quite understand why they didn't take advantage of Tu Chenglong and others' lack of men and horses to launch a direct attack. They might be able to kill the opponent but be defeated.
"We are tired of men and horses?" Gu Fengtang glanced at everyone, "Don't you see that Bantu and others are high in fighting spirit? If we go to war now, we will definitely lose."
"Wait until they are mentally exhausted before leaving the city to fight."
Fast forward to the next day.
May 16th, scorching heat.
It was extremely hot at noon, and even the wind blowing was hot.
At the east city gate, a fast horse entered the city and arrived in front of Gu Fengtang in a moment.
Gu Fengtang opened the note, took a look at it, and immediately put on his armor and went into battle.
Pei Tong's Black Tiger Cavalry did not enter Luotian City and divided into two teams, one in the south and one in the north, to ambush.
The message given at this moment was to tell Gu Fengtang that he could go out of the city to meet the enemy.
Standing on the city wall, Gu Fengtang cast a cold glance.
King Yongshan's army has been calling for formation since yesterday afternoon until now. It looks neat and orderly in the front, but there are signs of chaos behind it. It is obvious that the army cannot hold it anymore.
"Your Majesty, Pei Tong's Black Tiger Cavalry is already in place. Gu Fengtang will leave the city to attack us soon. It's better to let the Black Dragon Cavalry disperse a little more so that Gu Fengtang can be more confident."
Tu Chenglong, who was sitting on the black panther, sent a message to King Yongshan.
King Yongshan nodded secretly, and Tu Chenglong immediately ordered to go down. In a moment, the Black Dragon Cavalry's army of 500,000 people began to dismount, sit down on the ground and start eating.
