Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 455 Going to the Imperial City
When the sky was slightly bright, the soldiers of the Supervision Office finally evacuated on the street, and Wang Jing, who had been noisy all night, finally returned to calm.

This noisy night was definitely an unforgettable nightmare for the residents of Wangjing City. In the first half of the night, they were still drinking and eating meat to celebrate the new emperor's enthronement, and they were beaming.

But in the middle of the night, the atmosphere changed suddenly. First, a large number of noble private soldiers held torches and yelled loudly and marched towards the east block of the city.

But less than half an hour later, the private soldiers of the aristocrats retreated along the street in embarrassment, followed by countless soldiers in black uniforms holding sharp knives.

These cold-faced black-clothed soldiers were as cold as thousands of years of ice. They chopped down those noble private soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables. Blood flew, and the whole city screamed pitifully.

Those residents who were watching the excitement had never seen such a bloody massacre, and their faces turned pale, and they fled back to their homes in fright.

Countless soldiers on the street hacked back and forth, corpses piled on top of each other, blood gushing, the residents of Wangjing hid in their houses shivering, fearing that these fighting soldiers would break into their homes.

But fortunately, although there were endless fighting and shouting and killing in the streets outside, except for a few affected residents, most of the rest of the residents were safe and sound.

The residents of Wangjing, who had been in fear all night, waited until there was no movement outside, then carefully opened the door, stretched out their heads and looked around the street to inquire about the situation.

"Oh my god!" Resident Wang Laosi just pushed the door open, and a bloody corpse fell to his feet with a plop. Seeing the corpse beyond recognition, the cowardly Wang Laosi's legs softened and he sat down On the ground and in the streets there were terrified shouts.

Following Wang Laosi's exclamation, more residents opened their doors and walked onto the street. Seeing the corpses piled up on the street and smelling the strong smell of blood, some people finally couldn't help but vomited while holding the wall , He vomited out all the yellow soup in his stomach, and then he gave up.

The originally clean and tidy streets are now like Shura’s hell, blood red, layers of corpses are all over the streets, broken knives can be seen everywhere, the bright red blood has converged into streams, and the entire sewer has become a blood canal .

In the distance, several pale-faced street patrol soldiers came stepping on blood, and the armor chief of the block stood in line, also pale-faced.

Chief Jia is the manager of the residents of the block, and each chief is in charge of two hundred households. Although he is not even a ninth-rank sesame official, he is a real figure in power in this block.

"Don't be dazed, help collect the corpse." The leader of the block frowned and greeted the surrounding residents.

Chief Jia ordered, and the surrounding residents endured a strong sense of discomfort, found a cart, and moved the corpses up, preparing to pull them outside the city for burial.

"Chief Jia, who are these people?" A curious resident approached Chief Jia and asked in a low voice.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, lest you get caught in the fire." Chief Jia didn't answer directly, paused and kindly reminded: "Stay at home if you have nothing to do these few days, don't hang around, if you are arrested as a rebellious party , don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Save it, save it." Seeing that his chief armor was silent, these residents stopped asking and began to clean up the corpses on the street.

The one-night fight in the capital city not only frightened the residents, but also the mansions of the nobles. Even the servants and maidservants were handed out weapons.

"How's the situation outside?" Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stayed up all night, rubbing his red eyes and asking the housekeeper.

"Returning to the master, the fighting on the street has stopped, and the black-clothed soldiers surrounding our mansion have also withdrawn."

The earth-shattering shouts of killing from last night sounded, and the stewards of the Zhou Mansion were still terrified. If those black-clothed soldiers hadn't arrived in time, the Zhou Mansion would have been breached by the rebels.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the imperial city." Zhou Rulin's tense face finally eased when he heard that the calm outside had returned, and he gave instructions to the housekeeper.

Last night, the entire Wangjing was in chaos, with fighting everywhere. None of the people Zhou Rulin sent out to inquire about the news came back.

Now that the situation has stabilized, as the chief minister of the cabinet, the first thing he thinks of is to go to the imperial city and want to know the situation in the imperial city.

There are not a few people who think the same as Zhou Rulin. Those officials who survived the bloody night rushed to the imperial city as soon as the situation recovered to inquire about what happened last night when they fell to the ground.

Not long after Zhou Rulin's car drove, he met Yang Yanxu, chief of military affairs, and his group, who also headed towards the imperial city.

Compared with the sparse guards around Zhou Rulin's car, Yang Yanxu, the chief of military affairs, was much more exaggerated. A total of [-] sturdy soldiers kept Yang Yanxu's protection area airtight and heavily guarded.

"Master Yang, do you know what happened last night?" Seeing Yang Yanxu's many guards, Zhou Rulin simply got into Yang Yanxu's carriage, and asked impatiently before he sat down.

Yang Yanxu, chief of military affairs, also had two panda eyes. He obviously didn't sleep well last night. Hearing Zhou Rulin's question, he put on a wry smile and spread his hands: "You asked me, I want to ask you what happened ?”

The horses and chariots rolled forward under strict protection, and the carriage fell into silence. The two important ministers of the most powerful ministers were silent, lost in deep thought, and did not know what they were thinking.

When they arrived outside the imperial city, dozens of officials had already arrived here, but the gate of the imperial city was closed and heavily guarded, and they were all kept out.

Seeing Zhou Rulin and Chief of Military Affairs Yang Yanxu coming together, the officials who gathered in twos and threes to discuss stopped talking and focused their attention on these two big men.

In normal times, Zhou Rulin, chief assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Yanxu, chief of military affairs, would have stopped to chat with these officials to show their closeness to the people. The gate of the imperial city.

"The imperial city is an important place, come and stop!" Before they approached the gate of the imperial city, an officer had already issued a loud warning.

When Zhou Rulin and Yang Yanxu heard the officer's warning, they stopped abruptly, with a trace of anger flashing across their faces.

In the past, as the two of them, if they wanted to enter the imperial city, it would be like entering and leaving their own mansion, and they could come and go freely, but since the inner guards were in charge of guarding the imperial city, their original privileges seemed to be useless.

"This is Mr. Zhou, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, and Mr. Yang, Chief of Military Affairs." Seeing the two big men's faces darken, the officials next to them hurriedly explained to the internal guard officer who blocked the way.

"I've met Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yang." After being reminded by the officer next to him, the officer of the internal guards had a look of surprise on his face, and then he regained his composure, saluting the two big men in a neither humble nor haughty manner.

The inner guards are different from the gold-armored guards who were originally stationed here. Most of the golden-armored guards are the children of nobles. Naturally, they are flattering to the two big bosses, but the soldiers of the inner guards are from poor families and are directly under the command of the emperor Long Han. So these big guys are not cold.
