Chapter 914: Crazy Piano Sound
Chapter 914 Crazy piano sound
The year 526 of the Huoyao Calendar is destined to be a turbulent year for the Kingdom of Doguland.
First, the statue of the Sun King was torn down, and the belief in the sun was cut off. The old gods withdrew from the stage of history forever.
Then there was the earth-shattering Battle of Apocalypse. The scorched earth was littered with corpses, and the kingdom's population dropped by tens of millions.
Now at the 59th plenary session, the arrogant regent was suddenly dismissed from office, the gods were bleeding, and drastic changes only happened in a matter of days.
After the plenary meeting, under the leadership of Queen Laurel, a general purge of the palace began.
After six years, the former auxiliary minister and now the "King's Right Hand" Moban once again drafted an official letter to Her Majesty the Queen to impeach the dismissed Regent Kino van Helsing.
This document of impeachment was accepted by Her Majesty the Queen, who ordered a thorough investigation into all irregularities during the Regent's reign.
The first to suffer were the governor of Minyue Province, the leader of the Heqi family, Jashan, and the governors of Gray Mist and Fenghuo provinces.
In order to cover up their son's murder, these three people made secret deals with the regent, acted arbitrarily on local policies, and flouted the law. They were ordered to be dismissed from their posts by Her Majesty the Queen and thrown into prison.
In less than five days, all the violations committed by the three fallen governors during their reign were discovered, punished for multiple crimes, and executed in public at the execution ground.
The fall of the three governors was just the beginning.
Within a month, the ministers in the palace who had been close to Kino were dismissed one after another, imprisoned, exiled, and executed.
All positions vacated as a result will be promoted directly by the Queen from local places. Most of the people in the upper positions will be people with outstanding abilities and upright ideas.
These people have accumulated enough experience in the local area, and they are of the same mind as the queen, opposing the regent's distorted "support" policy, and are willing to carry out a profound change.
Civil servants are like this, and they will not give in to the purge of legion generals.
Queen Laurel issued the "King Qin Order" to all the imperial guard regiments in the cardinal province in the name of "there are rebellious ministers in the house and they must guard the king's side".
The "Cardinal Province", as the province where the royal city is located, has a total of 75 legions and a total of 600,000 guardsmen. The officers and soldiers in the army are all elite and control the safety of the entire kingdom's center.
King Qin's order stipulated that the main headquarters of each legion should not move where they were stationed, and the deputy generals and chief generals entered the palace and were ordered by King Qin.
Anyone who refuses to serve the king for any reason will be punished for disobedience to the king's order. The "King's Left Hand" Lorna Finn Regnom will personally take the person. If the legion officers obstruct it, it will be regarded as collective rebellion and will be killed.
Don't avoid.
Any officer who can reach the rank of general is not a fool. He could see the ulterior motives of Qin Wang Ling early on.
If nothing else, how could King Qin only provide generals but not troops?
King Qin, to put it nicely, isn’t it just to take people as hostages?
However, even if the Forbidden Army generals saw through it, there was nothing they could do about it.
What can they do?
Direct rebellion?
Not to mention whether the subordinates are willing to follow in the rebellion, the situation in the palace is unclear now, and the regent has not sent any signal. Who dares to raise the flag of rebellion on his own initiative?
There was no news from Kino, and the "Banshee Legion" headed by Lorna acted as a force deterrent. The Forbidden Army generals were unable and unwilling to resist, so they could only rush to the royal city one after another.
What awaits them is house arrest that will last for unknown length of time.
After removing the actual military power of the Forbidden Army generals, the Laurel Queen selected a group of people with shallow qualifications, low personal prestige, and easy control to serve as the Forbidden Army generals, completing the control of 600,000 Forbidden Army.
During this drastic change, every step was a thunderous blow aimed at the direct lineage of the regent. However, the strange thing was that Kino himself did not react at all when faced with the knife that kept cutting flesh and removing bones.
From the middle of the red lotus season to the middle of the frost season, for two whole months, Kino stayed behind closed doors and played the piano at home all day long.
The sound of the piano lingered over the mansion from morning to night, dense, manic, as grand as rain, and sweeping in all directions like a storm.
Countless ministers and generals with uncertain futures came to ask for help, but no one was able to enter the mansion. They could only kneel outside the door and be at a loss.
Today, more than ten people came to the door, but without Chino's permission, Nicole could only keep them outside.
Everyone knelt down on the ground, their faces were pale, their lips were blistered with blood from the anger, and they begged to Nicole:
"Please, go and inform Lord Kino!"
"Our people are being killed one by one. If Lord Kino doesn't come forward, everyone will die!"
"Everyone doesn't know what to do now. Can I ask Master Kino to give me some instructions or send a message? What does it mean to play the piano every day?!"
"Many people have changed their families. But we are extremely loyal to Lord Kino, please don't let us down!"
The noisy sound rushed towards her face, and when she saw everyone kneeling on the ground crying, Nicole felt very uncomfortable.
She couldn't stand up to their pleading, so she could only say: "I will go in again and inform you, but whether the adults can come out or not, this is not something I can decide."
After Nicole finished speaking, she entered the mansion under the eager gaze of everyone.
She came to the door of Kino's room, listened to the music coming from inside, hesitated for a moment, and knocked the door with her knuckles: "Sir, those people outside are about to collapse, do you really not want to come forward and say a few words?
"
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the room fell into dead silence.
I don’t know how long it took, but a deep laughter came from inside the door: “Hehehehe. Didn’t they like to guess my thoughts through the sound of the piano?”
"Then let them guess what the sound of the piano means?"
The raging high-pitched sound suddenly rose up, penetrated the doors and walls and resounded in all directions, converging into an impactful torrent, torturing everyone's eardrums.
In Kino's frenzied playing, various notes were intertwined and anxious, and everything around him seemed to be in a frenzy of restlessness.
Nicole couldn't understand either the sound of the piano or Kino's words. She asked again, but the only response she got was those manic notes.
She really had no choice but to go downstairs and go out, relaying Kino's original words to the people kneeling outside the door.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock and at a loss.
In the past, during every meeting, this "Shadow King" would sit behind the scenes and play the piano and listen to the government, and the notes he played would be very regular.
The recognition of lightness, the negation of dullness, the advancement of the starting key, and the retreat of the falling key can easily determine the meaning expressed in the melody.
But now, the sound of the piano coming from the mansion is only manic and chaotic. It is even difficult to tell whether it is "playing". The crazy rhythm is more like someone smashing the keys.
I don't know how long it took, but a look of fear appeared in the eyes of a minister. He looked at his companions around him and found that everyone had the same look in their eyes.
Extremely terrifying thoughts arise in everyone's mind.
"Lord Kino, aren't you crazy?"
