Chapter 356 The Sky Collapses in the North and the Ground Cracks in the South
Chapter 356 The sky collapsed in the north and the earth split in the south
Author: Jinhuang
Yuan You killed Zhou Rong at the cost of annihilating his entire army.
In order to kill Zhou Rong, he had been so humble to Zhou Yue'e this year, causing Zhou Yue'e to misunderstand that he only hoped that Zhou Yue'e would intercede for him in front of Zhou Rong and spare his life after the child was born.
In fact, his goal from the beginning to the end was Huizhang Palace. He thought that if he changed any place, Zhou Rong would be on guard, and there were too few people available to him.
Killing Zhou Rong will alert Zhou Rong's minions.
Only Huizhang Palace, which was controlled but not completely controlled by Zhou Rong, could make Zhou Rong careless.
Even so, he didn't have much time. Fortunately, the desperate outcome was happy.
The last emperor of the Northern Dynasties died in Huizhang Palace, and died the same as the famous Dacheng of the Northern Dynasties.
The news was earth-shattering and shocked the entire capital.
For a time, the entire capital was in chaos, and all the civil and military officials were at a loss. His Majesty passed away, and the Prime Minister also died. Who should they run to?
Only a few ambitious and capable people began to think quickly, and their flexibility directly led to the disintegration of the capital's regime. No one wanted to fall behind others.
After Zhou Chengwen received the news, he immediately summoned his troops, the Imperial Guard, the Central Leading Army and the Central Guard Army, to suppress the capital with iron-blooded tactics.
In order to protect themselves, the Zhongzhen Army fought out of the capital, and the remaining armies were in their own hands, fighting against Zhou's army.
News of the deaths of Zhou Rong and Yuan You soon spread throughout the Northern Dynasty. Zhou Rong had three cousins. In addition to Zhou Guang, who was killed by Jun Ci, there was also Zhou Lu, who guarded the Zhou clan in Jinyang, and Zhou Guang, who succeeded Zhou Guang and took over Guan Longjun.
Zhou Long.
Zhou Long immediately sent his troops to the capital to help his cautious nephew.
However, Jinyang was immediately intercepted and killed by the Central Guard Army led by Liucheng.
Zhou Lu never expected that the Central Guard Army, which was supposed to deal with the Helian clan in Tongwan City, took advantage of Yongzhou to come to Jinyang and was killed by surprise.
The Northern Dynasty fell into the biggest chaos since the founding of the dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty also heard the sound of horse hooves breaking up the mountains and rivers.
With the encouragement of Ying Wuchen and Xiao Yi, Yuan Duo became more courageous and entered the palace with the troops Zhou Rong gave him again.
The door of Jianzhang Palace was pushed open, and the former heroic emperor Xiao Yan was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace in Taoist robes. He looked at Yuan Duo who walked in with a knife, and drops of blood fell on the clean and bright ground, making the emperor frown.
He shouted angrily: "Back off!"
Yuan Duo's steps faltered. This last emperor, who had clearly become a piece of meat on his chopping board, still carried the majestic dignity that could not be offended.
He thought that Xiao Yi's army was still in the future, and that this man would be more useful if he was kept alive than dead. Xiao Yi used him as a traitor and became an army of justice to counter the rebellion. Since he wanted to be an army of justice, he couldn't ignore the life and death of the monarch?
He retreated as Xiao Yan wanted. In order to prevent accidents, Yuan Duo ordered people to bring Xiao Yan to the iron prison, lock Xiao Yan in the iron prison, seal the palace gate, and start cleaning up the palace. He must defend the palace before Xiao Yi comes to kill him!
Xiao Yan was imprisoned, and Xiao Yi received news to postpone his trip. He didn't want to go too early. With Xiao Yan around, he had to be controlled by others.
Jianzhang Palace is an imperial palace, solemn and glorious. The palace attendants only lit one candlestick and three candles illuminated a corner of the huge palace.
The chamberlain brought the food, placed it outside the prison, and left quietly.
The gray-haired emperor has a tall and straight posture, still sitting cross-legged on the futon, as if he is not a prisoner, but an outsider who is sharpening his mind.
"Your Majesty, after decades of Zen practice, you will definitely achieve something, why don't you talk about this state of affairs?" The words, as clear as a spring flowing over a stone, sounded in the darkness.
A silver-blue figure came slowly and stood in the dim light.
He was tall and tall, with a light fur coat on his body. His fluffy feathers seemed to be stained with a few grains of wind and snow, and his quiet eyes were cold and biting.
Xiao Yan lazily opened his eyelids and looked at this strange yet familiar handsome face.
He was sure that he had never seen it before. After all, such an outstanding skin was unforgettable.
He was also sure that he must realize that this strong sense of familiarity was not an illusion.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yan asked.
At this moment, it is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to enter this place, and his demeanor seems to come from a noble family.
Xiao Yan thought of many aristocratic families that had fallen because of him, but none of them could match the magnanimous man in front of him.
"Your Majesty once gave me a name. Your Majesty once said that I, Aye, was Your Majesty's favorite disciple. Your Majesty once personally issued an order to kill my entire family." Ying Wuchen's words were neither sad nor happy, as if they were just an ordinary reminder.
The calm and calm Emperor's pupils shrank, and the hand holding the Jue couldn't stop trembling slightly.
Like a lost person in the desert who has not had water for a long time, his throat is dry and hoarse: "Axun..."
"Your Majesty." Ying Wuchen responded with an expressionless expression on Xiao Yan's face.
Xiao Yan rushed over uncontrollably, grabbing the iron cage with both hands, his eyes filled with water in his silence: "You...how can you look like this..."
This is a completely different face, this body has no trace of its former demeanor.
That heroic young man who immediately had a heroic appearance, handsome features, unrestrained and heroic, and an unyielding spirit has become the noble young master who is now dignified, elegant, upright in manners, and as handsome as jade as a crane.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing, if I hadn't been like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived to stand in front of Your Majesty today." Ying Wuchen said calmly.
Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something, closed his eyes in pain, and his body went limp.
A cage separated him, Ying Wuchen stood quietly outside, and the emperor sat inside. The two were silent for a long time, and then Xiao Yancai spoke in a trembling voice: "It's me... I can't help you... I can't help you, Aye, I can't help you.
The Yan family..."
Ying Wuchen's calm eyes looked at the emperor who lowered his head and admitted his mistake. The pleasure of revenge he imagined did not arise.
He even felt a little bored.
The man in front of him is still the mastermind of his whole family. Today, he also made the other party taste the loss of his family and become a prisoner, but none of his close relatives can come back from the dead.
Ying Wuchen didn't take another look at Xiao Yan, he turned and left.
"Axun! Axun—" Xiao Yan called him urgently, and could only watch as Ying Wuchen's figure disappeared into the darkness.
The main hall returned to silence, and everything just now seemed like an illusion.
Ying Wuchen left the palace, and soon the palace was attacked. Xiao Yi couldn't sit still after receiving the news. Since he couldn't find out which troops were going to attack the palace to rescue him, he had to follow the attack.
The job of rescuing the driver cannot fall into the hands of others.
Yuan Duo didn't have much foundation to begin with, so easily breaking open the palace gate was just a deliberate act of letting others do it. Faced with the menacing Xiao Yi army, he had no choice but to resist desperately.
This defense and attack lasted for three days. No one gave the imprisoned Xiao Yan a bowl of rice or water for three days.
Once upon a time, a generation of heroes eventually starved to death in the imperial palace.
Xiao Yan, like Yuan You, had no successors. News of his death spread, and powerful men from all over the Southern Dynasties proclaimed themselves kings.
The prelude to the troubled times has completely begun!
