The carriage stopped and stepped aside to let eight hundred Qingqi enter the city first. Bai Ze and Mu Qingling rushed behind Chen Deng. He noticed the carriage and the two white deer lowered their heads uneasily when the nine-colored spirit deer approached, as if surrendering to the king.
"When the princess enters the city, it looks like there will be a good show to watch." The charming girl in the car smiled sweetly and glanced at Bai Ze, "Gee, that boy is really interesting."
Eight hundred Qingqi entered the city and went straight to the main palace in the north of the city.
On the ten-mile long street, when Bai Ze and the others rushed to the city lord's palace, Mu Chen was leading thirty elites to the Du Mansion in the west of the city, preparing to crush the Du family.
The two parties met unexpectedly.
"Brother!" Mu Qingling shouted happily when she saw Mu Chen.
"Sister!" Mu Chen also grinned when he saw Mu Qingling, "I knew that if God has eyes, how could I let my sister encounter something unexpected?! Hahaha."
When brothers and sisters reunite, they have a lot of things to say. But Mu Chen didn't want to say it. At this moment, he just wanted to put an end to the evil spirit of the Du family who was surrounded and killed because Mu Qingling came out of Dushan. The young general caught sight of Bai Ze and the spiritual sword Huangshan on his waist.
He knew that sword all too well. Now that the sword is in the young man's hand, Du Qian must have been killed.
"Haha!" Thinking of this, Mu Chen couldn't help laughing, and said to Bai Ze: "Brother, can you lend me your sword to help me trample my family!"
"Okay." Bai Ze smiled and threw the sword to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen took it, clicked his tongue, and said, "I wonder what that old man from the Du family thought when he saw this sword? Hahaha! Vice General Chen, along with eight hundred light cavalry, followed my son and rode on Du. Mansion!"
"The last general takes orders!" Chen Deng raised the halberd and said in a deep voice, and then cursed in a low voice, "Damn, I've long been unhappy with that bird family. Today, I will follow the crown prince and crush the Du Mansion!"
"Let's go!" Mu Chen took the lead and smiled at Mu Qingling: "Qingling, my brother, I'm going to step into the Du Mansion today and I'm going to get this bad breath out of you!"
"Yeah!" Mu Qingling smiled.
The two sides joined forces. Mu Chen saw Bai Ze's Ling Deer Divine Horse on his crotch. After exchanging names, the young general said: "Brother Bai, this time Qing Ling Dushan is in danger, it's all thanks to you. If nothing else, you will be my city lord from now on." If you, our guests, need help with anything, just ask!"
"Then I'd like to thank Brother Chen first." Bai Ze said seriously, just in time to thank Xuan for the elixir he had asked him to pick, but not a single one was left after he went into the mountain this time. The city lord's mansion is very wealthy, so he must be able to afford this elixir.
Mu Qingling held back her laughter, wondering how her brother would react if he knew that the guy in front of him who was her brother-in-law was actually just a little brat younger than her.
With just a glance, Mu Qingling saw bloodstains on Bai Ze's back. Thinking of the previous assassination in the town, the second wave of crossbow arrows struck from behind and shattered the spiritual shield. The crossbow arrow must have hit Bai Ze's shoulder at that time.
The girl who was no more than fourteen years old was a little worried, but with Mu Chen by her side, she couldn't say much. Looking at Bai Ze's natural expression, it didn't look like there was anything serious, so he had to suppress his thoughts at the moment.
More than 800 people rushed through the three-foot-wide city road and headed straight for the Du Mansion in the west of the city.
"I heard that the Du family sent people to kill the princess in Dushan. Now that the princess has returned to the city safely, it seems that His Royal Highness is going to vent his anger on the princess." Someone murmured in a low voice while avoiding pedestrians on the roadside.
"The Du family of Heyang, I'm afraid that today, they will be expelled from the tenth family of the Southern Region." A scholar in Confucian shirt shook his fan and said, insight into the mystery, "The Marquis of Heyang and the Southern Region family have fought again after twenty years. I'm afraid this Starting from today, the world of Great Yan will be turned upside down."
…
The Du family in Heyang was one of the ten aristocratic families in the southern region of Yan State. The Southern Domain family is headed by the He family in Weicheng, and the Du family can barely rank eighth among the tenth generation family at best.
The fifth-generation minister of the He family in Weicheng, Master Situ, the current leader of all officials in the Yan Kingdom, is none other than the head of the He family clan, He Zongtang. It can be said that the disciples of the He family are all old officials, and they can be said to be spread throughout the Yan Kingdom. There are only two generals guarding the seven towns in the Southern Territory from the He family. As for officials, big and small, there are countless people who are related to the He family.
Taking Weicheng in the southern region as an example, although the prefect of Weicheng was appointed by King Yan, everyone knew that the He family was behind everything in Weicheng.
Folks in Weicheng all called Situ Zongtang the lord of the unbroken soil. The strength of his power is evident.
The Du family was originally the leader of the Southern Territory family during the Northern Territory War. However, King Qi Cheng led his army to break through Dangyang Pass. Tian Dan, one of the four war gods of the National War, set foot in the southern region. The leader of the aristocratic family, the Du family, was the first to bear the brunt. The Qi Guo Wushuang infantry led by Tian Dan almost wiped out the whole family, leading to the Seventh National War. Ten years later, the Du family has never recovered from the damage that year, resulting in the Du family's current situation, which is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.
In Handan, the Du family could not touch the core of the political power at all. The highest official position was that of a fourth-grade civil servant, Zhongshu Ling. He was still a sinecure, running errands under the first-grade official Situ Shangqing, writing documents and delivering government orders.
It can be said that today's Du family is no longer the leader of the family who could call the shots in the southern region of the Yan Kingdom seventy years ago, but a paper tiger that relies on the shelter of the He family to barely keep the name of the family. It looks bright, but it has long been rotten on the inside. Empty.
The troops from the City Lord's Mansion have been surrounding Du Mansion for two full hours, standing on horseback and pressing their swords with murderous intent. The current head of the Du family is an old man with half of his legs in the ground, Du Chu.
When the concierge came to report that the eldest son, Mu Chen, had sent people to surround the Du Mansion and seemed to be going on a killing spree, the old man was calm and said, "Who dares to touch my centuries-old family? It's not him, it's Mu Sui. So what if the wind comes? He is a military lord who came out of nowhere. He has no foundation, no strength, no strength, and if you give him a tiger's courage, he will not dare to do anything!"
Du Chu's words are well-founded. The families in the Southern Territory have always shared the same enemy in general, because they all know that the success of the dynasty depends not on the rise and fall of one family, but on the unity of everyone.
Now that the giant net in Handan has been opened, He Zongtang is staring at Mu Suifeng with eager eyes. As long as he dares to attack the Nanyu family, he will be convicted of treason. When Handan sends out troops and aristocratic families rise together, everyone in Mu Suifeng's family will die.
Although Mu Suifeng was a martial artist, he still thought clearly about this aspect, otherwise he would not have been able to climb to such a prominent position as the Marquis of Heyang.
Du Chu was not afraid at all, especially since the city lord's soldiers surrounded Du's house for two hours and did not take action, which made the old family leader believe that the Heyang Marquis was nothing more than that. At most, he was just trying to scare him. As for taking action? impossible.
But he didn't expect that the person who took action this time was not Mu Suifeng, but the Crown Prince Mu Chen. Mu Suifeng had been silent since the prince's army surrounded Du Mansion. He did not speak at all, let alone show his face.
Muchen was young and frivolous, how could he bear it when his sister was assassinated? Even after the whole family of the Du family was wiped out, he, Mu Suifeng, had something to say and said, "If the discipline is not strict, the love for my sister is too much." Even if Handan sends troops, he is justified, but it is just the crime of the crown prince being domineering. Let me ask you, among the princes of the seven countries, which one is not arrogant and domineering?
One is scheming and the other is cunning, so this battle is inevitable.
So the second time, when the concierge came to report, he was so scared that he ran away and said to the old man who was drinking tea with a frightened face: "Master, the prince has rushed in with his troops!"
Du Chu spit out a sip of tea, his face turned pale with anger, and he yelled: "How dare you, martial artist!? Aren't you afraid of becoming an enemy of my Southern Domain family and causing the disaster of annihilation?"
I don't know if the Marquis of Heyang will be destroyed, but Mu Chen knows that the Du family must be destroyed today.
The prince held a sword in his hand, and all the soldiers surrounding Du Mansion drew their swords. The eight hundred light cavalry behind him were murderous.
"Any man in the Du Mansion who is longer than a riding whip will be killed without mercy!" The prince took the lead and rode straight towards the middle gate of the Du Mansion. On the way up, the middle door was trampled over.
"Kill for me!" Mu Chen saw someone behind the door and saw that the middle door was smashed open. He hurriedly ran for his life and sneered. Huangshan unsheathed his sword and killed two people in an instant.
"Kill, crush the Du Mansion!" Chen Deng, the deputy general, held the halberd in his hand and laughed heartily. He rode his horse past the prince and passed through the middle gate. He waved the three hundred kilogram halberd like the wind, smashing and slashing him, killing him in a moment. Five people.
"Break through the red wall of the Du Mansion!" Eight hundred Qingqi galloped straight towards the two-foot-high red wall of the Du Mansion, reined up their horses, raised their hooves, and stepped hard over it.
At the end of the first round of charges, the knights showed no mercy, reined in their horses and turned back, followed closely by the second column of knights, then the third column, and the fourth column.
The eight-wheeled horse stepped on the red wall, and the red wall of Du Mansion screamed and collapsed. At this time, Chen Deng was already furious in the mansion. Eight hundred Qingqi and soldiers surrounding the mansion shouted to kill at the moment when the red wall collapsed. They flooded into the Du mansion and started killing.
The prince has an order that any man who is taller than a horse whip will be killed without mercy. As for the woman, the prince didn't say anything, but because of the princess's face, they knew it well.
They have also been to the Heyang brothel, but compared to the ladies from aristocratic families, they are still far behind. After all, there are so many ladies out there, who would want to pick that prostitute?
Du Chu panicked. The sound of the collapse of the red wall was not small, and the sound of eight hundred Qingqi riding horses was as loud as war drums and could not be ignored. The shouts of killing filled his ears. The head of the house turned pale and red, then red and black. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he yelled: "Martial man, martial artist! You are really brave and reckless!"
But no matter how much he scolded, Mu Suifeng couldn't hear him. Even if he hears it, he pretends not to. Anyway, Mu Chen has been accused of being a playboy, and it has little to do with Mu Suifeng.
If I have to say anything, I can only say that he is not strict in discipline. But so what? It's just harmless.
The Du Mansion screamed to the sky. Three hundred of the eight hundred family members in the mansion were killed before they could even make a cup of tea.
Du Chu ran out of the hall, his hair disheveled, and looked at the thick smoke filling the house. It was obvious that Mu Chen had not only killed someone, but also set a fire. The head of the family's eyes immediately turned red, another mouthful of blood spurted out, and he roared: "Are my Du family's centuries-old foundation going to be destroyed today?!"
"Master!" The old man's favorite concubine, who was stepping into the loess, supported Du Chu, but she was already thinking about ways to survive.
The whole city was shocked.
The prince rode his horse to trample the family, not only trampling them, but also killing them. Before Mu Chen sent out troops, many people were guessing that this time there might be heavy thunder and light rain, and it would be enough to scare the Du family. After all, the princess returned safely.
But no one expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so fierce and kill at will!
