"Escape quickly." Xia Ziluo on the city wall was shocked when he saw it. He shouted anxiously regardless of his own safety.
However, she still shouted too late.
No one in this era has ever seen what a grenade is. They only think of it as an iron ball, or at best a hidden weapon. In addition, Xia Ziluo's voice is too small, and the sound of horse hooves suppresses her voice. What?
Can't even hear it.
There was a loud "boom" sound.
Then there was a burst of thick smoke, not to mention the choking smell, but also the nauseating smell of blood.
When the smoke cleared, the real princess and Zheng Yu had already escaped, but most of the soldiers chasing her were injured. Three horses died, five soldiers died, and more than a hundred were injured.
Looking at the ground after the grenade exploded, a huge crater collapsed. A large number of people fell inside and outside the pit. Mangled arms and legs could be seen everywhere. The blood had stained the ground red, and also stained the bodies of these people.
This horrific scene frightened everyone present.
"You are just standing there like a wooden stake, why are you so stupid? Save people quickly!" Xia Ziluo's eyes were red, and crystal tears were welling up in his eyes.
The lives of so many people are like this...
She was so hateful that she wanted to catch and skin Zheng Yu who caused this tragedy. And the real princess, even if she was caught and killed tens of millions of times, she couldn't get back so many lives.
Murong Xitian held the crying Xia Ziluo tightly in his arms, and while calming her emotions, he calmly ordered: "You Langyue led people to surround and annihilate the remaining party of the true princess, Xi Muyun was responsible for treating the injured, and Ju Qing and Ziying went after her.
The true princess, if necessary, give up capturing her alive and kill her on the spot."
His loud shout woke up all the sluggish people.
The people took action, and soon You Langyue surrounded and annihilated the defeated army without a leader. Xi Muyun's side went smoothly, but there were too many wounded and too few doctors, so he was a little busy for a while.
Zi Ying and Ju Qing took no one with them and just went on the road, desperately chasing the fleeing Princess Zhen and Zheng Yu.
However, once you leave the palace and arrive in Kyoto, it is not easy to chase people. They only need to disguise themselves and blend into the crowd, and finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Time passed by, and soon it was night.
The palace has been completely renovated. Countless maids and eunuchs have all been sent out of the palace. The luxurious golden buildings will be demolished as soon as the situation stabilizes to fill the treasury. The corpses of the new emperor's remaining party were burned to ashes, and dyed
The bloodstains all over the palace floor were also washed clean.
In the Qinghua Hall, Murong Xitian and others were sitting around the table, discussing important matters regarding his enthronement.
"I will ascend the throne tomorrow and cannot delay it any longer." Murong Xitian calmly analyzed the current situation, "I will issue an edict tonight to announce it to the world, but tomorrow morning will definitely be too late. As for the courtiers, those who can come will come, and those who cannot come will be removed from office. We just took the opportunity to hold the imperial examination.
, select talents and use them for the country.”
Xi Muqing nodded in agreement: "What King Xiao said is true, and I have this plan. At the same time, I want to grant amnesty to the world, reduce taxes, and return land to the people, so as to appease the people as soon as possible and restore stability to the situation."
"Fourth brother, don't worry, I will take care of these brothers properly." Xi Muyun knew that Xi Muqing was injured and didn't want him to worry too much.
Moreover, these things are all small matters. As a king, you should make plans and keep the overall situation in mind.
Xi Muqing nodded, and after discussing national affairs with Murong Xitian, his eyes fell on Xia Ziluo, who looked uninterested next to Murong Xitian.
