Guarded by thousands of cavalry, Tang Zhen rode towards the Beichenzhou military camp.
Killing Hua Yue made Tang Zhen feel a little relieved. Otherwise, if he had such a poisonous snake-like enemy, who knew when he would bite him.
From the day he became a monk in Loucheng, Tang Zhen had no habit of holding back on his mortal enemy unless the other party's life and death was under his control and he could no longer pose a threat.
In the process of returning, he was still thinking about the news he learned from the villagers, and also knew why Hua Yue wanted to hide in the village.
It turned out that the emperor was about to celebrate his birthday, so he issued a decree to invite the elderly people within a hundred miles of the imperial city to enter the palace to celebrate his birthday with the emperor.
Thousands of long-lived elders gathered together to spread the word to the world, show the elegance of the prosperous age, and also demonstrate the emperor's moral rule.
The old man in the village, Gaoshou, was also among those invited.
Perhaps because the palace was heavily guarded and the assassination could not be successful, Hua Yue found another way and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the palace.
After he killed the old man, he used secret techniques to make a mask. The disguise was so perfect that even the old man's family didn't notice.
If nothing happened in Beichen Province, the old man might enter the palace in a few days.
When the banquet begins, if you act wisely, you may be able to assassinate the emperor!
If Hua Yue dared to do this, he must have a reason to hide it from the inspection of the palace guards.
Although this method is slightly passive, the probability of success is very high. How many people would be wary of an old man?
In order to prevent the plan from being leaked, he did not tell anyone where he was going, not even his subordinates.
It's a pity that he had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that Tang Zhen was digging three feet into the ground to find him, and he found him accurately!
If Tang Zhen arrived a step later, Hua Yue, who learned that Beichen Prefecture's army was besieging the city, would also abandon this plan and go to the imperial city to wait for the best opportunity.
The imperial city is in chaos at this time. If Hua Yue seizes the opportunity, he might really have a chance to escape.
It can only be said that time is also destiny, Hua Yue is destined to be unlucky!
…
After Hua Yue was destroyed and reduced to ashes, Tang Zhen's only enemy was the strange man.
The other party did not participate in the Trial of Destiny, but hid somewhere unknown. Coupled with the secret technique attached to Tang Zhen, he could easily sense the approaching danger.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Tang Zhen had come to the Island of Destiny that the strange man did not participate in the trial of destiny, thus avoiding Tang Zhen's pursuit.
Tang Zhen had to admit that compared to Hua Yue, the other party was undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.
But Tang Zhen is not in a hurry. After he completes the trial of fate, he will have plenty of opportunities to settle accounts with the other party.
With the tracking bird in hand, I can dig him out even to the ends of the earth.
Now that Hua Yue was dead, Tang Zhen had no need to waste time. After returning to the Beichenzhou military camp, he directly issued the order to attack the city.
The military orders are like mountains, and the soldiers in armor march forward bravely.
Countless soldiers rushed towards the imperial city like a tide, smoke and beacons rose into the sky, and a bloody war began.
Beichen Prefecture's artillery fired in unison, and countless poisonous kites flew into the sky and exploded above the heads of the defenders.
This poisonous mist flew for ten miles with the wind, and the entire imperial city was shrouded in it, and countless people were infected.
Tang Zhen used all the means he could think of, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Beichen Prefecture rebels. Although the number of soldiers defending the city was large, they were defeated steadily in front of these wolf-like rebels.
After several hours of fierce fighting, the two sides could not decide the outcome, but the Beichen Prefecture rebels clearly had the upper hand.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The guard at the east gate of the imperial city suddenly disappeared, and the city gate sealed by earth and rocks was unguarded. Without the defenders to stop it, the city gate was easily blown open by the Beichen Prefecture rebels with explosives.
Like a long embankment bursting, the torrent rushed thousands of miles away.
Countless rebel soldiers poured into the imperial city, wielding swords and slashing in all directions. Seeing this, the defenders fled.
With the fall of the East City Gate, the entire imperial city was plunged into flames, causing a complete collapse of military morale.
Not long after, other city gates were also lost one after another, and there were soldiers everywhere who had abandoned their armor and either knelt down to beg for mercy or looked for opportunities to flee outside the city.
After rushing into the imperial city, the Beichenzhou rebels rushed straight to the palace and started fighting with the imperial guards.
According to the rules of the Beichen Prefecture rebels, all spoils of war belong to the individual. In order to obtain the mountains of treasures in the palace, the rebel soldiers were extremely brave.
Although the palace guards are well-equipped, their numbers are not superior, and it will only be a matter of time before they capture the palace.
In the chaotic camp, there are still many trialists hidden. They all look at the palace with greedy eyes, hoping to fish in troubled waters and successfully assassinate the emperor.
While the entire imperial city was being turned upside down, Tang Zhen was sitting in a forest outside the city, quietly drinking tea.
Tietou stood in the distance, wearing heavy armor, holding a long-handled sword in his hand, leading a thousand cavalry to stand quietly with their hands down.
In the distant imperial city, thick smoke billowed and the sound of killings shook the sky, but it seemed to have nothing to do with Tang Zhen.
"Wow!"
There was a sound similar to the friction of stones, and a dark hole suddenly appeared on the stone wall not far from Tang Zhen.
The sound of footsteps sounded slowly, and then a group of men and women were seen hurriedly walking out of the cave entrance, their faces full of embarrassment and despair.
Although his clothes are simple, he can't hide the habits he has developed in daily life, and his temperament and expression are extraordinary.
When they saw Tang Zhen sitting not far away, everyone was slightly stunned and seemed a little at a loss.
A few of them had joy in their eyes, but no one noticed it.
"After waiting for a long time, you are finally here. May I ask who is the emperor?"
Tang Zhen stood up from the table, looked at the men and women and smiled.
The other party looked at the thousands of soldiers around him, not knowing that he had fallen into a trap. For a moment, his heart was filled with despair, and many women began to cry softly.
"Excuse me for waiting for so long, but you don't know your name?"
A middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd. He had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary demeanor.
"I don't dare to assume that the commander of Beichen Prefecture's rebel army is Tang."
"I have a pot of tea here, and I would like to invite you to taste it."
Tang Zhen looked at the middle-aged man and stretched out his hand to make an invitation.
The man didn't refuse, stepped forward, smiled and sat down.
"Emperor, please have some tea!"
Tang Zhen brought a cup of tea to the other party and poured a cup himself to drink.
The man, that is, the emperor drank the tea in his mouth in one gulp, raised his hands to Tang Zhen and said: "Everyone says that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. Since it falls into your hands, I have nothing to say.
explain.
I just have a few questions, I hope you can listen to them and answer them."
Tang Zhen nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
"The first question is, did the people around me betray me?"
Tang Zhen smiled slightly and nodded lightly.
The emperor sighed and turned to look at the crowd behind him. He saw several men avoiding their eyes and not daring to look at them.
"Hahaha, I thought I was diligent, and even though I didn't have the credit for opening up new territories, I was still able to maintain success, but I didn't expect that people's hearts are unpredictable and desires are difficult to appease.
First, there was a rebellion in the state capital, and then he was betrayed by someone close to him. It is really ridiculous!"
The emperor looked up to the sky and sighed, with a look of desolation on his face, and then asked Tang Zhen: "Second question, when you raise an army, you must want to rule the world, right?"
Tang Zhen slowly shook his head.
The emperor looked puzzled and asked: "If you don't want to take charge of the country, why did you raise an army to rebel?"
"The power and wealth in your eyes are just rubbish to me, but I can't tell you the specific reason."
The emperor was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions, knowing that Tang Zhen couldn't tell him.
"Last question, do you want my life or everyone's life?"
Tang Zhen stretched out his hand, pointed at the emperor and said, "It only takes one of your lives to save me from death!"
The emperor laughed loudly upon hearing this, bowed to Tang Zhen, and then drew out the sword from his waist.
"I wish I could use the three-foot-long green blade in my hand to kill all the treacherous and evil people in the world. Although my body is gone, my hatred will last forever!"
After taking a deep look at his family, the emperor shook the sword in his hand, blood splattered from his neck, and he fell to the ground.
At the moment when the emperor fell to the ground and died, a reminder came to the ears of all the testers at the same time that the fate test was over and they should evacuate this world immediately.
Tang Zhen waved his hand to Tietou in the distance, and then disappeared without a trace under the shocked gaze of everyone.
