"Don't just stand there, get ready to go into the city." Jiang Tian waved his hand gently.
No one expected that attacking the Xianbei capital would be so easy.
Before they could even exert their strength, the Xianbei capital's garrison collapsed without a fight.
Jiang Tian's car moved forward slowly.
The crowd followed closely behind.
"Stay vigilant and protect our lord."
"Any suspicious person found shall be shot dead without exception."
"My lord, where should we go first after entering the city?"
"Grab a few locals and ask them where the palace is and where Murong Chui's residence is."
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, Li Yuanba rushed out.
In no time, Li Yuanba, carrying one Xianbei man in each hand, threw them in front of Jiang Tian.
These Xianbei people were terrified.
"Where is the palace? Where does Murong Chui live?"
“The palace is right in front of us,” a Xianbei man said, pointing shakily into the distance. “General Murong’s residence is not far from the palace.”
"Lead the way..." Jiang Tian snapped his fingers and slowly pressed the accelerator.
...
The Imperial Palace.
Inside the main hall.
Sheffield sat on the dragon throne, legs crossed.
Several eunuchs knelt there, wiping his leather boots with cloths.
Hundreds of palace maids danced alluringly in the palace to the rhythm of the music.
Sheffield held a cigar in one hand and a wine glass in the other.
"Make these women take off all their clothes."
"Tell them again that if they hesitate or act coy, they should all be dragged out and shot."
"I want to be treated like royalty. I don't want to see these women pretending to be reserved in front of me."
Soon, two eunuchs relayed Sheffield's message.
The palace maids who were dancing were almost all stunned when they heard Sheffield's words.
When Sheffield saw that these palace maids dared not do as he wished, he took his pistol, pointed it at the eunuch next to him, and pulled the trigger.
A gunshot rang out.
The eunuch who was polishing Sheffield's shoes couldn't dodge in time and his head was smashed open.
Bright red blood mixed with white brain matter sprayed everywhere.
With a thud, the eunuch died with his eyes wide open, falling to the ground.
Soon two more eunuchs came up and dragged the eunuch's body out.
Two palace maids came over, took a cloth, and knelt on the ground to wipe away the eunuch's blood and brain matter.
“If you don’t do as I say, that eunuch will be your example.”
The palace maids were trembling with fear, yet they had no choice but to do as they were told.
Sheffield smiled slightly and waved to the princesses beside him.
The imperial concubines quickly crawled over.
"Do you think I'm being a little cruel?"
The imperial concubines were immediately taken aback.
Sheffield slapped him several times.
"Am I being cruel by asking you to answer my questions?"
One of the imperial concubines nodded, and then—bang!—another shot!
The imperial concubine, who had just been nodding, suddenly turned into a corpse.
Sheffield smiled at the other princesses and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, am I being a little cruel?"
The imperial concubines were so frightened that they trembled all over.
But they quickly shook their heads.
"It's not cruel, not cruel at all."
"General, you are truly awe-inspiring."
"There is no one in the world more benevolent than His Excellency the General."
"If anyone says that the General's Pavilion is cruel, I will be the first to disagree."
Sheffield burst out laughing when he heard this.
Inside the main hall, the palace maids had no choice but to comply with Sheffield's request.
Soon, the melodious music started playing again.
With tears in their eyes, the palace maids danced gracefully to the rhythm of the music.
Sheffield said smugly, "That's right. From now on, do it like this. Anyone who dares not to do it like this will be dragged out and shot."
…………
Just then, outside the city, more than a dozen cannon shots rang out.
Sheffield, who was enjoying himself in the palace, was shocked.
The guy took a deep drag on his cigar: "What's going on?"
"PPSh, go and see what's going on."
"General, don't worry, it must have been one of our men setting off cannons for fun on the city wall."
Sheffield nodded.
In his view, no one else in the world had cannons except them.
“Go tell those guys in the city that they can fire their guns however they want, but they shouldn’t bombard them with cannons.”
Our gunpowder is limited.
Once the light is on, it's gone.
We'll have to wait for the main force to arrive.
Just then, deafening cannon fire and gunfire erupted outside.
It was clear that some of the cannon shots came from the Tsar Cannon.
Then, gunshots rang out everywhere.
Even a fool could tell that there were many people firing shots, at least several thousand.
"What exactly happened?" Sheffield realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly stood up from his throne.
"You idiots, stop jumping and get out of here!" Sheffield roared at the naked palace maids.
The palace maids quickly picked up the clothes from the ground and ran away with them in their arms.
Sheffield, holding a pistol, walked down the steps.
"Prepare the horses, I'm going outside to take a look."
"promise……"
Just then, the deafening sounds of gunfire grew louder and more frequent.
