Chapter 50: The Emperor collapsed and no bones were left
"A Ran! The safety of me and the world rests entirely in your hands! You must come back victorious!"
At the swearing-in ceremony, Kangxi spoke to Qin Ran solemnly,
"Waiting for the day when you return from the victory! I will personally reward the three armies! And betroth Jianning to you!"
"Your Majesty..." Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be moved.
Seeing Qin Ran's expression, Kangxi smiled and said some morale-boosting words in front of all the soldiers.
Until the little eunuch next to him whispered to him: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived."
Kangxi then handed Qin Ran the tiger talisman, which symbolized military power, and gave him a meaningful look, "Aran, don't let me down!"
Then he walked down the stage.
Looking at Kang Xi's back, an imperceptible sarcastic look flashed deep in Qin Ran's eyes.
All his planning was in vain, and the military power finally fell into his own hands.
However, among these 100,000 troops, there may be many Kangxi's eyes and ears, and we need to find a way to clean them.
The army moved forward in a mighty manner and slowly left the capital!
At the same time, members of the Tiandihui and the Dragon Cult controlled by Qin Ran also began to take action.
Looking at the army gradually disappearing from sight.
An inexplicable flash of uneasiness flashed through Kangxi's heart, but he couldn't find a reason for the uneasiness, so he could only sigh for no reason.
"Come here! Go back to the palace!"
Afterwards, he got on the sedan chair and returned to the palace, escorted by a group of guards.
Turning around and looking in the direction of Kangxi, Qin Ran had an evil smile on his lips.
When the army was twenty miles away from the capital, Qin Ran deliberately caused some minor accidents to occur in the grain and grass trains, thereby slowing down the marching speed.
Therefore, it was not until it was getting dark that the army left the capital forty miles away.
"Set up camp, Zhazhai!"
Following Qin Ran's order, the army was stationed in a wilderness.
That night, Qin Ran specially arranged for all of his own people to patrol the camp. As the soldiers had dinner and returned to their tents, the military camp gradually became quiet.
Qin Ran stood on a hillside, looking at the bright starry sky above his head, counting the time in his mind, "The 'Chronic Bone Transforming Palm' I left on the little Emperor Kangxi should be about to explode!"
At the same time, in the imperial palace in the capital, Kangxi, who was sleeping soundly in bed, suddenly sat up and stumbled out of bed.
"Someone, come quickly!"
His face was distorted, and an unnatural green-black color appeared on his arms. Soon, this green-black color began to spread to other parts of his body.
"Ah!" Kangxi couldn't bear it anymore and screamed. He fell to the ground holding his arms that were emitting light smoke, rolling around on the ground in pain.
"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?"
"Something happened to the Emperor!"
"Quick, call the doctor!"
Kangxi's strange behavior quickly alerted the eunuchs and maids who were attending the bedchamber. Some of them gathered around anxiously, some ran towards the Imperial Hospital, and some ran towards the Queen Mother's palace.
Soon, the imperial guards and eunuchs and maids who were guarding nearby gathered around, but they were unable to do anything about the abnormality in Kangxi's body.
Before the imperial doctor arrived, Kangxi's whole body was covered in green and black color in full view of the public. Then all his flesh and blood were corroded by the poison and turned into dirty blood. The emperor who had just grown up was no longer alive.
A young eunuch rushed into the Queen Mother's palace with a mournful face and cried out: "The Queen Mother, it's not good, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has collapsed!"
"What?"
The Queen Mother, who had just come out after hearing the sound, swayed and seemed to be a little unsteady, "My prince, hurry up, take me to see my poor prince!"
Long Er pretended to be the Queen Mother and then went to Kangxi's palace. Before leaving, she glanced at the maid beside her.
The maid understood, and quietly retreated to the shadows, followed the path to the outside of the palace, and when she saw no one was around, she released the carrier pigeon in her hand. This is a method of communication and message delivery that the Dragon Sect is extremely good at (mentioned earlier)
.
Half an hour later, Qin Ran looked at the message delivered by the carrier pigeon, his face showing uncontrollable joy.
Just as he expected, the power of the bone-transforming palm that he penetrated into Kangxi's body exploded tonight, and Kangxi, who had little martial arts, had little room for resistance, and his body turned into blood, even the whole corpse.
Nothing left.
No matter how pretentious you are, no matter how high you are, no matter how high you are, even the emperor will be so fragile in the face of life and death.
Although this incident was planned and operated by Qin Ran, it also sounded a warning to him. All power, status and money are empty, and only the extraordinary power that can be mastered by oneself is the safest.
With enough power, everything will be at your fingertips.
Gathering his divergent thoughts, Qin Ran ordered to the left and right: "Assemble our people to come over and implement the big purge plan!"
"yes!"
The man dressed in black, his figure perfectly hidden in the night, stepped back respectfully.
Soon, in the jungle not far away, thousands of black shadows came out silently and quickly approached the army station.
However, the patrols in the military camp turned a blind eye to these dark figures and allowed them to rush into the camp.
Qin Ran had already sent people to investigate clearly who should be killed in the military camp, who should not be killed, and who were suspected to be spies left by Kangxi and various forces.
Now, these five thousand Shenlong Cult members gathered and trained by Long Er are a sharp knife in his hand, responsible for cleaning out spies from all sides in the army, as well as officers who do not accept Qin Ran's win over.
"Pfft!"
"Who? Ah!"
"Who are you? Don't kill me!"
…
Overnight, a large number of officers above the captain level were assassinated, and those who accepted Qin Ran's solicitude were all brought to the center of the camp.
The killing lasted all night.
The next day, when morning dawned, the soldiers climbed out of bed with dazed expressions and gathered in the center of the military camp.
Looking at the mountains of corpses in front of them, almost everyone had a look of fear on their faces.
The soldiers all cast their frightened and doubtful glances at Qin Ran, who was sitting on the high platform.
Qin Ran had a solemn expression. Behind him, a group of mysterious men dressed in black, holding sharp weapons and muskets, surrounded all the soldiers.
What on earth is going on? Confusion came to everyone's mind.
Lieutenant General Suo'etu couldn't control his temper and shouted loudly to Qin Ran: "Master Qin, you slaughtered soldiers without authorization and launched a mutiny. Do you want to rebel?"
As Suo'etu spoke, the soldiers immediately started to commotion. Some soldiers looked angry and were even ready to stand up and resist.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
A strong man behind Qin Ran shouted dissatisfied.
However, the soldiers were still rioting and the commotion was likely to get worse.
