Immediately afterwards, the Jiaozhi soldiers who had come with Zhang Boyu began a massacre in the palace.
As darkness fell, Zhang Boyu slaughtered the entire royal family of the Joseon Dynasty, sparing neither the women nor the children.
After the killing, he left the palace with a group of ministers.
However, they happened to encounter Qin Hui, Zhang Jun, Yue Fei, and others leading the elite troops of the Song Dynasty.
