Chapter 1701 - 1701 The end of the trial (1)
1701 The end of the trial (1)
Tang Zhen, who was escorted by thousands of cavalry, rode his horse toward the Beichen state’s military camp.
After killing Hua Yue, Tang Zhen’s heart relaxed a little. Otherwise, who knew when such a venomous snake-like enemy would bite him.
From the day he became a cultivator of Lou city, Tang Zhen didn’t have the habit of holding back against his mortal enemy unless the life and death of the other party was under his control and they could no longer pose a threat.
On the way back, he still thought about the information he had obtained from the villagers and also found out why Hua Yue was hiding in the village.
It turned out that the Emperor was about to celebrate his birthday, so he issued a decree to invite all the old men within a hundred miles of the Imperial City to the palace to celebrate the birthday with the Emperor.
Thousands of long-lived elders gathered together to show off the glory of the golden age and to show the virtue of the Emperor.
The old man from the village was also invited.
Perhaps it was because the palace was heavily guarded and the assassination was not successful, Hua Yue had used another method and wanted to use this opportunity to sneak into the palace.
After he killed the old man, he used a secret technique to make a mask. His disguise was flawless, and even the old man’s family didn’t notice.
If it wasn’t for the Beichen state, the old man might have entered the palace in a few days.
When the banquet started, he might be able to assassinate the Emperor if he acted accordingly!
Since Hua Yue dared to do this, he must have his own reasons to hide from the inspection of the palace guards.
Although this method was slightly passive, the possibility of success was very high. How many people would be wary of an old man?
In order to prevent his plan from being leaked, he didn’t tell anyone where he was going. Even his subordinates didn’t reveal anything.
Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, he did not expect that Tang Zhen had dug three feet deep to find him. Moreover, he had found him one by one!
If Tang Zhen had come a step later, Hua Yue, who knew that the Beichen state Army had surrounded the city, would have given up on this plan and headed to the Imperial City to wait for the best opportunity.
At this moment, the Imperial City was in chaos. If Hua Yue seized the opportunity, they might really have a chance to escape.
It could only be said that this was fate, Hua Yue was destined to be unable to escape this calamity!
……
After exterminating Hua Yue and crushing his bones and scattering his ashes, Tang Zhen’s only enemy was the strange man.
The other party did not participate in the trial of fate. Instead, it was unknown where he was hiding. In addition, there was a secret technique attached to Tang Zhen’s body, allowing him to easily sense the arrival of danger.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Tang Zhen had come to the fate Island that the strange man did not participate in the fate trial to avoid Tang Zhen’s pursuit.
Tang Zhen had to admit that compared to Hua Yue, the other party was undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.
However, Tang Zhen wasn’t in a hurry. After he completed the trial of fate, he would have plenty of opportunities to settle scores with the other party.
With the tracking Bird in Hand, he could find him no matter where he went.
Now that Hua Yue was dead, there was no need for Tang Zhen to waste any more time. After returning to the Beichen military camp, he immediately gave the order to attack the city.
The military Order was like a mountain, and the armored soldiers bravely advanced.
Countless soldiers rushed toward the Imperial City like a tide. Smoke and fire rose to the sky, and the bloody war began.
The cannons on the Beichen state’s side fired in unison, and countless highly toxic wooden clogs flew into the sky, exploding above the heads of the city guards.
This poisonous fog danced in the wind for five kilometers, enveloping the entire Imperial City. Countless people were affected by it.
Tang Zhen used all the methods he could think of, causing the strength of the Beichen rebel army to increase greatly. Although the soldiers guarding the city were numerous, they were still forced to retreat in defeat in front of these Wolf-like rebel soldiers.
After several hours of fierce fighting, the two sides were evenly matched, but the Beichen rebel army clearly had the upper hand.
However, at this moment, a change occurred.
The guards at the East Gate of the Royal Palace suddenly disappeared, and the city gate, which was sealed with soil and stone, was unguarded. Without the obstruction of the guards, the city gate was easily blown up by the Beichen rebel army with explosives.
Like a broken dam, the torrent flooded a thousand miles.
Countless rebel soldiers poured into the Imperial City, waving their swords and killing everywhere. When the soldiers guarding the city saw this, they all ran away.
With the fall of the East Gate, the entire Imperial City fell into a sea of fire, causing the morale of the Army to completely collapse.
Not long after, the other city gates were also lost one after another. Soldiers who had abandoned their helmets and armor were everywhere. They either knelt and begged for mercy or were looking for an opportunity to escape out of the city.
After charging into the Imperial City, the rebel soldiers of the Beichen state charged straight for the Imperial Palace and began fighting with the Imperial Army and guards.
According to the rules of the Beichen rebel army, all spoils of war belonged to the individual. In order to obtain the treasures that had piled up like a mountain in the palace, the rebel soldiers were all unusually brave.
Although the Imperial Guards were well-equipped, they did not have the advantage in numbers. It was only a matter of time before they took down the Imperial Palace.
In the chaotic camp, there were many hidden cultivators. They all looked at the palace with greedy eyes, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and successfully assassinate the Emperor.
Just as the entire Imperial City was in an uproar from the killing, Tang Zhen was in a forest outside the city. He was quietly sipping tea and meditating.
Iron head was standing in the distance, fully clad in heavy armor. He held a long saber in his hand and was leading a thousand cavalrymen.
Thick smoke was billowing from the distant Imperial City. The sound of killing shook the heavens, but it seemed as though it had nothing to do with Tang Zhen.
“Huala!
A sound similar to the friction between rocks sounded. A dark cave entrance suddenly appeared on the stone wall not far from Tang Zhen.
The sound of footsteps could be heard. Soon after, a group of men and women hurried out of the cave, their faces full of embarrassment.
Although he was dressed simply, it could not hide the habits he had formed on a daily basis. His temperament and expression were extraordinary.
Everyone was slightly startled when they saw Tang Zhen who was seated a short distance away. They appeared to be at a loss.
A few of them had joy in their eyes, but no one noticed it.
I’ve waited for a long time. Fortunately, you’re finally here. May I ask which one of you is the Emperor? ”
Tang Zhen stood up from the side of the table and smiled as he looked at the men and women.
The other party looked at the thousands of soldiers around them. How could they not know that they had fallen into a trap? for a moment, their hearts were like dead ashes, and many women began to cry softly.
“I’ve troubled you to wait for a long time, may I know your name?”
A middle-aged man walked out from the crowd. He had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary bearing.
“I’m flattered. The commander of the Beichen volunteer army is me.”
“I have a pot of tea here, please have a taste, Emperor.”
Tang Zhen looked at the middle-aged man. He extended his hand and made an inviting gesture.
The man didn’t refuse. He stepped forward and sat down with a smile.
“Please have some tea, Emperor!”
Tang Zhen placed a cup of tea in front of the other party and also poured himself a cup to drink.
The man, who was also the Emperor, drank the tea in his mouth in one gulp and cupped his hands at Tang Zhen.”Everyone says that the winner is king and the loser is a Bandit. Now it seems that it is true. Since I have fallen into your hands, I have nothing to say.
However, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer.”
Tang Zhen nodded and indicated for the other party to continue.
“First question, did someone close to me betray me?”
Tang Zhen smiled and gently nodded.
The Emperor let out a long sigh and turned to look at the crowd behind him, only to see several men avoiding his eyes, not daring to look him in the eye.
“Hahaha, I’ve always thought that I’m diligent. Even if I don’t have any credit for expanding the territory, I’m still more than capable of keeping the peace.
First, it was the rebellion of the state capital, and then he was betrayed by someone close to him. What a joke!”
The Emperor looked up at the sky and sighed. His face was filled with desolation. He then asked Tang Zhen,”The second question. You must be planning to rule the world by mobilizing your troops, right?”
Tang Zhen slowly shook his head.
The Emperor was confused and asked, ” “Since you don’t want to rule the country, why did you raise an army to rebel?”
power and wealth in your eyes are nothing but dung and floating clouds to me. But I can’t tell you the specific reasons.
The Emperor was puzzled in his heart, but he did not ask any further. He knew that Tang Zhen would not tell him.
one last question. Do you want my life, everyone’s life? ”
Tang Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed at the Emperor,”I only need your life, and my family can be spared!”
The Emperor laughed and bowed to Tang Zhen. Then, he drew the long sword from his waist.
I wish I could use the three-foot-long blade in my hand to kill all the evil people in the world. Although my broken body is gone, I will still bear a grudge for eternity!
After taking a deep look at his family, the emperor’s sword trembled, and blood spurted out from his neck. He fell to the ground.
The moment the Emperor fell to the ground and died, a notification rang in the ears of all the cultivators at the same time. The trial of fate had ended, and they were to leave this world immediately.
Tang Zhen waved his hand at iron head in the distance. After which, his body disappeared without a trace in front of everyone’s shocked eyes.
