Chapter 989 Huairou
This was a one-sided massacre. No one dared to speak to stop it. They could only watch the massacre. The bright yellow dragon robe was stained with blood. The brocade sword struck a figure trembling in the night wind again, and blood suddenly spattered.
, mournful wails and shouts echoed in the palace.
The begging for mercy from the old and young below made Xiang Tun frown. Is the person the little sister wanted him to save? He should have been a high-spirited veteran in the court, and the much-loved harem Takamaki, but now they are all like a drill board.
Like a piece of fish ready to be slaughtered.
"Your Majesty, be angry!"
All the ministers had no idea what to do. They looked at the "daughters" scattered on the floor with tears streaming down their faces. They didn't dare to take a breath, and only had one mouthful in their mouths to calm down the Lord's anger.
Suddenly, Xiang Tun casually broke off a small piece of glazed tile, and hit Li Xuan on the back of the neck, who was swinging his sword crazily. Li Xuan, who was confused for a while, stumbled around, and before losing consciousness, he saw the handsome man on the eaves with a long sword.
With one finger, he fell down in a mess with a loud bang.
After hesitating on the cornice for a long time, Xiangtun finally picked a railing without blood stains, and floated down like a savior. He glanced at the trembling man there and couldn't help but shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and leave now!
"
The few remaining men were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Even if they ran away at this time, could they still escape the army outside the city? Although... although... the commander-in-chief of the Southern Kingdom could avoid death by surrendering, but could they escape from the city now?
…
"People grow feet to survive. Are you going to kneel here with your feet?" Xiangtun was almost pissed off by these old men who were full of fuss in their heads. Are you planning to hang here?
"I will take care of you, Your Majesty. Just do what you need to do." Looking at the man lying in a pool of blood, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't even dare to run for his life? How could he scare someone?
The words made several men stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other for a long time. Can they really escape? Looking back at the countless severed limbs around them, they tried to lift up their trembling steps and left the bloody palace.
After stepping out of the palace wall that they thought they would never see again, a few old people took their surviving daughters and left the palace with steps that were still swinging.
They want to go home, pack their bags, and quickly leave this place of right and wrong. Where are they going? Yes! Just go north! Who said Beiyong is weak?
Nowadays, the country's national strength is not strong enough to fight with East Vietnam, and even without a single battle, East Vietnam has been destroyed. What else can it compete with other countries?
…
It was already late at night when Li Xuan woke up in the small carriage. The bloody clothes on his body had been changed by the accompanying eunuch, and he was wiping tears silently.
He voluntarily accompanied him on the train. King Liang had taken care of him all his life, but now he could not stay with his master in the imperial city until the end of his life...
Li Xuan had no heirs, so Dongyue was completely dead. Now that the army is pressing down on the border, the emperor went crazy and fled. From this moment on, there is no Dongyue...
From another carriage, the night wind kept coming, filled with frightened cries. It was the cry and injustice of Empress Zhuo who was unwilling to be reduced to this. She couldn't believe that her supposedly glorious life ended up like this...
…
Li Xuan summoned all the concubines, but he did not attack her. The only thing she wished for was that no one could compete with her for favor. From now on, Li Xuan belonged to her alone.
The price is that she is no longer the queen praised by everyone...
When they left the city, the army from the south was slowly entering the city. When they saw their carriage arriving, they immediately made way for the carriage to leave Yuecheng surrounded by the army.
Xiangtun originally didn't want to leave in such a big way, but the little girl and her senior brothers chased him into the imperial city and couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the bloody and terrifying scene.
A few men decided to make the situation even more final. As the army marched into the city, they took the road to see off the Emperor and Empress of Dongyue, asking them to remain in the memory of the people forever.
There was no royal escort, only a shabby carriage that could not even sit straight, and the emperor and empress were sent away under silent gazes.
Xiang Tun had no intention of adopting a gentle policy with Li Xuan, or simply knocking people unconscious and taking them away. How could an irrational person talk to him about the principles of life?
Take his life? Hey - do you think he is stupid?
Besides, the little girl didn’t say she would be taken away, so how do you plan to take her away? As long as she can achieve her goal!
Not long after leaving Yuecheng, Li Xuan woke up. He lost his bloodthirsty madness, but opened the car curtains dully and looked at the slowly moving scenery.
】
"Your Majesty?" Seeing the man who had been motionless for a long time, the old eunuch took out a sheepskin water bag and handed him some water.
Li Xuan withdrew his eyes and looked at the internal prison officer who had followed his father for many years. He suddenly felt that his life was at a loss. He didn't even ask where the carriage planned to take him.
After being knocked unconscious for a whole day, I am now completely awake. Thinking back to the horrific and absurd blood he caused, I can't help but feel horrified...
His mother sacrificed her life for him. What did he do?
He took the water bag from the old eunuch, took a sip casually, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
The old eunuch wiped away his tears and said happily: "Reporting to the Lord, although the old slave is a rootless person, he is still a man who knows how to repay his kindness. In this life, he is fortunate to be appreciated by the prince and can follow him.
I have been with you for so long, and if I am told that you are my grandson, who will care about the mistakes my grandson has made?"
Li Xuan never thought that he would have a loyal servant by his side in the end. He thought that after the killings in the imperial city, there would be no future. When he woke up, he would still be accompanied by the gentle breeze in the mountains and the moonlight of Puhua.
Already full of contentment.
Perhaps, he shouldn't have been in that position from beginning to end. He lost himself and lost his mother again...
Thinking of this, his eyes, which were staring into the dark mountain color, suddenly felt a burst of heat, and he stared blankly at those big palms stained with killing.
"Holy Lord, please stop thinking about those bad things. You will definitely be able to make a comeback one day." The old eunuch straightened Li Xuan's wrinkled robe as if comforting a child.
Li Xuan smiled silently, not paying attention to the old man's comfort. Is there still a chance to make a comeback?
No, because he lost the only cavalry of the Xiao family that he could rely on. The cavalry of the Xiao family, which was able to protect the peaceful and prosperous times of East Vietnam, became exhausted during the long journey, and even died in the invasion of the southern country.
How to make a comeback with nothing?
He opened the curtain again and glanced at the man who had been following the carriage. His eyes couldn't help but darken, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where on earth are you taking me on your late night journey?"
There was a joking smile in Xiangtun's eyes, feeling the cool autumn night full of water vapor, and suddenly understood the reason why his little sister wanted him to send him to the island as soon as possible.
How could he, who has been living at sea for many years, not know what the burning mountain breeze and the water vapor in the air represent?
