In an instant, the building collapsed, and almost everyone on the tower heard the sound of expected collapse.
The emperor is dead!
The emperor's neck was slit in front of their eyes! Now he was like a plucked chicken, with blood gushing out of his neck, twitching, and using his hands to uselessly plug the huge bloody hole in his neck - the scene was absurd and weird.
Everyone was stunned for a blink of an eye, and then a clever servant moved from the featherless and blood-spurting chicken to Xianjin - the boss was dead, how could these minions still survive?
The answer must be no.
When everyone reacted, someone took the lead and rushed towards Xianjin with a knife.
Before the man raised his knife, he was hit by an arrow in the left chest!
Xianjin turned his head and immediately squatted down. This seemed like a signal!
Then, arrows rained down like rain on the tower. Those who were standing in the open were killed instantly by the sudden rain of arrows, while those who were hiding in the dark turned around and ran away without any desire to fight. Xianjin slowly stood up with the help of the bluestone bricks, lowered his head and looked down.
Drops of blood that had already cooled down hung on her long eyelashes, dyeing all the scenes before her eyes with a layer of enchanting red.
Under the high tower, a man with broad shoulders and narrow waist on horseback held a bow in one hand and bowed his head towards Xianjin from a distance, his posture relaxed and humble.
.....
Deliberate killings often come and go like a storm.
The two thousand people in the village were like turtles in a jar. Those who resisted stubbornly were beheaded, and those who surrendered were tied in front of horses. The empress of Emperor Zhaode, two low-ranking concubines with children, and their children were all controlled in a small house at the entrance of the village. A group of captives knelt in the parade ground, and dead bodies and body parts were piled up in the valley.
There was a bloody smell that was almost solid flowing between his nostrils.
The soldiers shouted as they counted the spoils.
Tibetan fox teacher Liangliang passed by and waved his fist high at Xianjin: "...quick moves! What a nimble fox!"
Xianjin waved his hand: Thank you so much, we have suddenly become a species!
Xianjin turned around and looked towards the valley with dim eyes. Her night blindness prevented her from seeing clearly, but the flowing cold air allowed her to clearly feel that life was as small as a mayfly under the influence of power disputes.
"very good."
A cold and hoarse female voice came from behind.
Xianjin turned his head.
At some point, Princess Bai'an stood behind Xianjin and said, "Smart, decisive, strong, intelligent, brave - even when I was twenty, I couldn't be as good as you."
Princess Bai'an stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if she could not smell the overwhelming bloody smell at all: "This country needs people like you - Xianjin, return to your roots, I can make you the Crown Princess, and Empress Wu Zetian will be crowned Empress through marriage. You don't have to suffer the pain of marriage, and you don't have to climb up step by step - your aunt will pave the way for you and hold you very high. When the time comes, all nations will pay homage to you, no matter if they are enemies or friends, they must smile and wish you long live."
Xianjin glanced sideways at Princess Bai'an.
Princess Bai'an spoke with arrogance and pride, as if with just one order, the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces would be under her control.
Princess Bai'an was holding the mountains, rivers and land in front of her.
She had always felt Princess Bai'an's expectations.
I feel moved.
She never concealed her ambition.
She wants to be the rule, not an ant under the rule. She wants to use her power and boldly challenge the old customs of the entire country alone. She wants her thoughts to shine more brightly on a larger platform.
The opportunity is right in front of you.
Opportunity, the opportunity that everyone dreams of, is right at her fingertips.
Princess Bai'an's cape fluttered, the tip of the knife hung low, and a few drops of blood sank into the mud along the blade. Her profile was straight and powerful, and her eyebrows were not trimmed long and neatly, but instead had the savagery and wildness of all things.
"Aunt, do you know how I feel now?" Xianjin turned his head and whispered.
Princess Bai'an wanted to hear more details: "Hmm?"
"I feel like vomiting."
Xianjin said calmly, "My stomach is empty, but my throat is full of acid and my abdomen is bloated and painful, as if thousands of waves are beating against my stomach and intestines. I just walked down from the tower, and my knees went weak and I fell to the ground."
Princess Bai'an lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not used to killing and setting fires, but it's normal."
Xianjin shook his head. "As the boss of a paper shop, if I fail miserably, I will just lose money and land, close the shop, and raise enough capital to be a hero again in a year. But as a person in a high position of power, if I make a wrong decision, thousands of lives will be paid for it. Just now, if I hesitated for a moment, not only would I be beheaded, but the three thousand cavalrymen who came here today would also face the situation of overturning."
"The most important thing for a person in power is to be incompetent and mediocre." Xianjin said in a cold voice: "The Emperor Xun was mediocre. A natural disaster caused three man-made disasters. The Wei Dynasty regressed thirty years. The southeast coast was invaded by the Japanese, and the Tatars in the northern border almost invaded. The Emperor Zhaode was fooled by the minions and used as a banner by the minions. Confucianism almost collapsed and academic theories were closed. What's worse, he colluded with the Japanese and almost handed over the land and sea to others..."
"If they were gentry and landlords, would they have the opportunity to cause such a disaster?" Xianjin looked up at the stars falling low to the west not far away.
Princess Bai'an stood with the tip of her knife on the ground, "Of course I can't do that. The best I can do is drink and have fun, and do nothing for the rest of my life."
Xianjin fixed his eyes on the stars not far away and raised one hand: "I am still just a small star now. I promised my colleagues and bosses in Xuancheng Prefecture to expand the rice paper business to the land of Kyushu, but I have not yet fulfilled my promise;"
