Chapter 522: Leaving and Returning
The man who had just been complaining and complaining immediately fell silent, staring blankly at his gray-stained head, unable to utter a word.
They have seen what happens when the emperor goes crazy.
But now he is killing people so recklessly that he is likely to die with them.
Even if they risked their lives and rebelled now, the sword hanging above their heads would be mercilessly swung down before they could get up.
Is the sword faster or they run faster? There is no doubt about the answer.
The plan for now is to stabilize first...
The Queen Mother saw that everyone was silent, and then saw the emperor standing in front of them with his sword in hand. She made no next move and just thought He can scare hundreds of people with one force, and kill chickens to scare monkeys.
Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need to resort to both soft and hard tactics.
She was about to step forward and say a few words to appease everyone, when she saw someone approaching with a whip and a horse.
The sound of horse hooves hits my ears.
Martial law has been ordered throughout the city. Who dares to ride a horse in the street at this time?
Everyone held their breath and turned their eyes to look over quietly.
A few streets away, Liang Han saw billowing black smoke rising in the air.
Throughout the journey, all intersections were heavily guarded.
If it weren't for the secret guard holding the token, they wouldn't be able to go all the way.
It wasn’t until I got closer that I realized that it was the Tung Lok Hall that was burning with raging fire.
This was not what surprised her the most.
The most surprising thing was that there were a lot of people kneeling on the street, and the Queen Mother described herself as being put aside in a state of embarrassment.
The man standing in front of the crowd with his back to the fire was dressed in black clothes. His face was white and had no color at all. Only the sword in his hand was dyed a dazzling bright red.
That was the only life in the entire lifeless scene, and the only color from head to toe.
The bleeding head and corpse at his feet seemed to still have some warmth remaining and had not yet cooled down.
Is he going to... massacre the city?
Liang Huan stood up and dismounted amid the surprised and timid looks.
Step forward through the wall of kneeling people and go straight to the man standing with a sword.
Someone stepped forward to stop her, but when they saw the token in their hands, they quickly got out of the way.
Gao Qian raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and she was walking towards him step by step.
His pitch-black eyes looked calmly, without the slightest hint of surprise.
It was as if he had known for a long time that she was coming back and had been waiting here for a long time.
How can I not know?
A few drugs, a passing token...
It's all just a little bit of his selfishness.
Even so, the corners of his lips still tilted up involuntarily.
Gao Qian pursed his thin lips: "You're back."
Then, he smiled lowly: "Liang Huan, you are so stupid."
Liang Huan stopped one step away from him. She was full of anger and wanted to settle accounts with him, but now in public, she was afraid that she would not be able to do so.
She frowned slowly and said in a low voice: "Gao Qian, I didn't come back for you."
Gao Qian smiled nonchalantly: "I know, it's not important. . ”
It wasn’t until she discovered that his left arm was injured and bleeding that she understood why his face looked worse than usual.
Liang Huan wanted to step forward to help him, but he took his hand and stopped him.
She glanced at the wound: "Why did you send me away?"
Gao Qian looked at her quietly for a while and sighed: "I'll give you a chance to regret it." What he said was misleading.
Liang Huan was about to correct her, but she heard someone calling her coldly over there.
It’s the Queen Mother.
As we all know, although the queen survived the fire, she was seriously injured and should not be seen in public, so she has been recovering in the palace.
Of course, there are also many rumors that the Queen has appeared openly in front of the two armies...
The words are so cloudy that it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
Liang Huan felt that in front of everyone, no matter what, she still had to greet the Queen Mother and salute her.
Gao Qian, however, held her hand and refused to let go. She glanced at the Queen Mother hastily and her face was very ugly. Obviously, the emperor was not giving the Queen Mother face in public.
Liang Huan looked at Gao Qian in surprise, but saw him holding a sword, pointing at the row of people being escorted and kneeling in front of him, and smiled sarcastically.
"Didn't you just complain about yourselves? Didn't you claim that you were instigated and deceived by Gao Yu, and deceived and deceived by your subordinates?
And you, and you, aren't you Do you think Gu is greedy and afraid of death, leaving the soldiers at the front and fleeing back to Jinye alone?
By the way, aren't you the same as him, asking what you want to do? "
He? One by one pointed to the past, one by one asked.
The row of people kneeling on the ground no longer spoke righteously as before. They stared in horror at the bloody sword tip. They were extremely alert and did not dare to relax at all, for fear that if someone did not pay attention, the sword would be swung down. Heads are at risk.
Liang Huan frowned, a little confused, this was completely different from the plan she and Gao Qian had discussed before.
After Gao Qian finished speaking, someone was carrying a wooden box and walking this way, followed by Zhou Situ and others.
Wang Tingyue opened the small wooden box in front of everyone. There was a lot of evidence in it that showed that King Guangping and the court officials had formed a party for personal gain over the years. He said that it was searched from the secret room of Tongle Hall.
The imperial guards escorted a crying woman forward. She claimed that she had been secretly working for King Guangping and immediately identified her accomplices for the rebellion. Most of them could be matched with the records that were dug out.
Liang Huan raised her eyebrows and looked at Gao Qian. That woman was Master Li Yi.
But as far as she knew, it was Sang Chan who always worked for King Guangping.
When Gao Qian met her gaze, there was a trace of amusement in his eyes.
Liang Huan looked at the box again and couldn't help but squinted his eyes. If his guess was correct, he should have killed Gao Yu...
After Li Yizhu finished speaking, Zhou Situ continued He took out the letter written by Zhou Yun before his death and pointed out that the Qi army fell into the trap of the Zhou army that day. It was the king of Guangping, Gao Yu, who had cooperated with Zhou Guoyu and Wen Keli for his own selfish interests, and found the property gifted by the Zhou state in the cellar of the palace of the Guangping king. ……
In addition, they also set fire to Zixiao Temple and kidnapped the queen with the intention of threatening the emperor.
Liang Huan carefully observed the expressions of these so-called remnants. Some of them were true, and some were confused. In this way, she understood seven or eight points in her heart.
Looking up again, even the Queen Mother had a sullen face and asked the chamberlain to help her step forward to inspect the evidence.
Gao Qian didn't give them a chance to question at all. He threw away Liang Han's hand, raised his sword and asked coldly.
"You deceive and collude secretly, but you still have the guts to cry out for injustice and the shame to say you don't know? How can I not come back and kill you cowards and scum to comfort the innocent people on the front line who died in vain? Heroic spirit? ”
After saying that, the long sword struck down hard.
Before everyone could recover from the pile of evidences and testimonies, they saw the emperor raising his sword and killing him with red eyes.
After all, one person's strength is limited. He took a cold look at the imperial army next to him while holding his sword.
“Are you still waiting for Gu to take action one by one?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of drawing the sword was harsh.
The long swords fell down in unison, and in an instant, the people in the first two rows were separated from their heads and their blood flowed freely.
"Emperor!"
The Queen Mother can no longer remain calm and is so ruthless. There is no guarantee that others will not feel the coldness in their lips and teeth, and then force others to rebel.
At this moment, a familiar face came forward, supporting a limping man, bowed to Gao Qian, and presented something to him.
Liang Han was stunned. She knew both of these two people.
Gao Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, and Wei Yue mouthed: "This is a gift from Zhou Jun to Qi Jun."
