C186

Blood dyed the air red, and the thick smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time.

It was almost like he had received a plentiful reward without any bloodshed. Originally, he shouldn't have lost so much blood, but Shang Qiuyuan and his subordinates had already suppressed them for too long.

The Imperial Palace was the place they hated the most. When Shang Qiuyuan arrived at the Imperial Palace, it had already been dyed blood-red. The blood all over the ground had congealed into ice, shining red under the light.

None of the imperial family in the imperial harem or the imperial family that still had a chance to live; not a single person could escape. All of them were killed. Even the little girl and the imperial concubine were not spared. The once noble and beautiful head had now become an ornament on a tall pole.

Shang Qiuyuan did not stop them. He only gave the order that the palace maids and eunuchs were not to be killed, and that the palace property was not to be touched. In this short period of time that they had dispatched people to chase after Feng Jingping, blood flowed like rivers in the palace.

Within the Forbidden City, the most common type of corpses were those. Because there were too many of them, they were not cleaned up immediately. The eyes of Shang Qiuyuan's subordinates were bloodshot as they slaughtered their way into the home of the former royal family members. None of the royal family members were spared.

Although they didn't have Shang Qiuyuan's command, they had spontaneously slaughtered almost all of the people of the Feng Clan that had remained in the Imperial City.

Shang Qiuyuan had instructed a few princes that their manors were not to be disturbed, and that they were to send troops to guard the surroundings of the manors. As long as there was no one hidden inside that shouldn't be hidden, those that belonged to the princes would not be harmed.

Other than them, no one else in the royal family could escape. They were all killed.

In addition, many of the court officials' homes were also confiscated, their properties confiscated, and their families' size were all killed.

Fortunately, it was winter and the bodies were transported out. They were hastily buried without even a tombstone.

Shang Qiuyuan sneered. His Shang clan's over a thousand people had all been exterminated, since when did they have a tombstone? Those people were then thrown into the wilderness and turned into food for the wild dogs and wolves.

Now, he was only doing what Feng Jingping had done before.

Feng Jingping was a highly valued and treacherous official. Of those officials who attacked the Shang family and killed a hundred thousand soldiers and the families of countless soldiers, even one of their clansmen would not be able to escape.

Before entering the city, he had already instructed them to plan which ones would be killed and which ones would stay behind temporarily. His subordinates were all well aware that they would never mistakenly kill or let go.

"Reporting to the young prince, the palace has been cleared out. All of the treasures and people are currently being recorded and recorded."

He Mo and Zuo Siping looked at Shang Qiuyuan with reverence in their eyes. They lowered their heads and respectfully stood at the side, waiting for Shang Qiuyuan's instructions.

Shang Qiuyuan lightly closed his eyes, his indifferent and handsome face did not have the slightest expression.

He Mo and Zuo Siping exchanged glances with each other. The expressions on their faces were a little more respectful and respectful than usual. He Mo had already told Zuo Siping about how Shang Qiuyuan had killed Yun Teng personally, and Zuo Siping had also seen Shang Qiuyuan's bloody and iron-blooded methods, which had killed both the Forbidden City and the Feng Rao City.

They originally wanted to remonstrate, but when they saw Shang Qiuyuan now, they did not dare to speak carelessly. After all, the King Shoulder had only asked them to listen to Shang Qiuyuan's command, and had no other instructions.

The two of them had already sent people to speed up the horses and report everything that had happened in the city to the King. They had come here to persuade him.

Shang Qiuyuan understood what the two of them were thinking, and lightly said, "Father ordered the both of you to obey my commands. As for the matters of the past, this marshal doesn't want to say anymore. Now that Feng Rong is here, have you all accomplished what this marshal has instructed you all to do? "

"Reporting to young prince, there are many things that have yet to be completed. It's just that too many people have already died."

He Mo did not dare to directly admonish him, so he gently reminded Shang Qiuyuan, he believed that Shang Qiuyuan would not be unaware of his meaning.

Zuo Siping hung his head low and did not say a word. He had also once mocked and ridiculed Shang Qiuyuan. Although he did not openly offend him, he had also said a few words when he was beating him up.

Today, He Mo had told him about Shang Qiuyuan killing Yun Teng with his own hands, reminding him that when he spoke to Shang Qiuyuan in the future, he must be respectful and careful.

He had been on good terms with He Mo for many years, and it was rare for him to admire someone so much. Moreover, he had personally seen Shang Qiuyuan condone his subordinates and massacre the Forbidden City. His heart was immediately filled with reverence.

At this moment, he peeked at Shang Qiuyuan's expression, but was unable to discern anything from that indifferent handsome face. However, he did not dare to look Shang Qiuyuan in the eye.

At this moment, Shang Qiuyuan's body was a little more murderous, a little less refined.

"Since you haven't finished what you need to do, then go do your duty. As for the rest, this marshal will naturally take proper care of them."

He Mo did not dare to say anything else. Shang Qiu had originally brought in some fat water today, and he had broken through Flowerfruit in one fell swoop. After that, the rich soldiers all surrendered, and there was no resistance along the way.

On the long street, Shang Qiuyuan grasped his silver spear and killed Yun Teng with his own hands. After assaulting the Imperial Palace, he washed the Forbidden City in blood and then in blood. This caused him to feel endless reverence.

He Mo and Zuo Siping both understood that if it was a different person, it would be impossible for them to take control of the army so easily without having to resort to bloodshed. If not for Shang Qiuyuan, they would have paid a hundred times the price for their hard work, but they might not have been able to win.

Thus, at this moment, the two of them no longer had the same contemptuous heart as before. Their hearts were filled with reverence, and they didn't dare to casually say anything like before.

Shang Qiuyuan no longer paid attention to the two and closed his eyes to rest. He had bathed in the blood of the imperial palace, bathed in the blood of the rich, but he did not kill an ordinary citizen. Those killed were all royalty or nobles, as well as Feng Jingping's most important and treacherous officials.

Even though he also knew that the slaughter had been a bit heavy, the entire clan had been massacred, just like the day when he was back at the Shang clan. However, he didn't want to stop them. The pent-up emotions of his men needed to be released.

At that time, at the border between the Southern Champion country and the Fengyuan city, a hundred thousand soldiers died miserably, along with the families of those soldiers, as well as the people who were later affected by this matter and disgraced and executed. Their hatred could only be repaid with blood.

Compared to the hundred thousand dead warriors, the Shang clan, and the families of the soldiers, what was this blood and human life worth?

A cold smile formed at the corner of his mouth, causing his elegant face to become somewhat callous.

He Mo quietly gestured to Zuo Siping, and the two bowed and left.

"Old He, a person who normally looks at the young prince with a refined and gentle air would never have imagined that he would actually be so ruthless when killing someone." I've seen many ruthless people. It's really rare to see such a cold and ruthless person. I really can't see that, young prince, if you really want to be fierce, you're not inferior to me at all. "

"Shh, Qingqing, don't breathe in to the young prince's ears." How about it? Didn't I tell you not to offend the young prince? Now, you should know that our young prince is not someone who's easy to offend, right? "

"I've never offended him in any way. In terms of offending, am I as ruthless as Old Lin in offending me?"

"Have you forgotten how the prince punished Old Lin? He is also his prince's favorite general. Where is he now?"

Zuo Siping fell silent, secretly regretting that he should not have been disrespectful to Shang Qiuyuan in the past. He had mocked and ridiculed him time and time again, but it was too late for him to regret now. Since it wasn't good for him to lower his head, he had no choice but to hold on.

"Old Zuo, I think the young prince has enough."

He Mo gave him a thumbs up. "Now I admire young master, so listen to big brother's advice and find a chance to beg for forgiveness. It was one thing to offend him, but he mustn't offend the young prince in the future. There was not the slightest bit of disrespect in his actions. "Look at this imperial palace, it is also fertile. I can assure you that before the prince arrives, the young prince will not allow the bleeding to stop."

"Hmph, he's just …"

He Mo covered Zuo Siping's mouth and glared at him, "What time is it? You still dare to spout nonsense? Believe it or not, even if the young prince did not blame you, even if the prince knew, he would not forgive you. If you offend the young prince again, even if the young prince were to punish you, the prince would not say a single word. "

Zuo Siping trembled and looked around, saying in a low voice, "Old He, do you think His Highness will blame him? Isn't he afraid that His Majesty and His Highness will blame him for what he's done? "Those people were the important officials of Fengyuan, yet they were wiped out from their families?"

"So be it, so be it. The Shang family is also a big family of Fengyuan, but they were still annihilated. Right now, the young prince is taking his revenge. Don't forget, the young prince is the first general to enter the army and be rich, and now that he has achieved such a great merit in one day, not to mention killing a few of his enemies, even the emperor and the prince won't accept it. "

"That's not just a few people."

He suddenly stopped and looked at He Mo as he asked in a low voice, "Tell me, is he really that good at bearing humiliation? His revenge is already halfway through. If someone offended the young prince, what would become of that person in the future? "

Today, Zuo Siping also understood that Shang Qiuyuan could not be offended.

For revenge, he was willing to surrender to the Southern Champion Office as Marquis of Fengyuan, Grand General and Prince Consort. In order to march into Fengyuan without hindrance, he was willing to lower his voice and not care about being mocked by the people of this world.

Zuo Siping's spirit quivered as he felt chills all over his body. He suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

He Mo shook his head and whispered, "Don't ask me. I have already warned you, I can't see through that young prince of ours. He is just like the prince, a person that no one can see through. Old Zuo, find a chance and ask for forgiveness from the young prince. I feel that even though the young prince is very scheming and is fierce enough to not accept what others have done, I still feel that he is not a stingy person. "

Zuo Siping's mind was filled with thoughts as he lowered his head and left with He Mo.

Late into the night, Shang Qiuyuan was still busy dealing with various matters of the rich. He was the commander-in-chief, and there were too many things for him to do. He knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

"Tian Ning, how are you right now?"

He had already dispatched a few troops from the front and back, each heading in different directions to chase after Fengjing and other escaping officials. At the same time, he was also searching for people from Ling Feng along the way to rescue Ji Tian Ning.

However, he still felt uneasy that he was unable to personally lead the troops there.

"At this moment, I am still unable to leave Fenggong!"

He shook his head helplessly and looked at the now deserted Hou Mansion. This used to be his old home, but after conquering the fertile lands, he still set up his old home as his office. Just like before, every blade of grass and every tree was still familiar, but there was no one else he was familiar with here.

Looking at the once bustling and luxurious mansion now filled with weeds and dust, he couldn't help but sigh to himself.

"Marshal, your orders have been completed."

Shang Qiuyuan nodded. "Any news?"

"Reporting to the marshal, the Shoulder King has almost reached the city entrance. Soon, we will enter the city."

Shang Qiuyuan hurriedly stood up, "Men, prepare the horses, I will go greet them."

Everyone hurriedly stood up and followed Shang Qiuyuan on his horse to welcome the King beside them. The group hurriedly left the residence. However, they saw a group of people coming towards them. Just as they wanted to ask, someone had already urged their horses over.
