"The moon is so big and round today!"
Zhuangzhuang looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
After hearing this, everyone looked up to the sky.
Indeed, it is really bright!
"The moon is full on the 16th."
Ruyi said with a smile, looking at the moon with a smile in her eyes. This was what her father told her. Last year, he was still with her during the Mid-Autumn Festival...
Everyone agreed, except Zhuangzhuang, who looked confused. Why did she know that tomorrow's moon would be rounder than today's?
Qin Anming also looked up at the moon, with the light in his eyes flickering.
How did I spend last year? Oh, I think I drank two sips of water at home and fell asleep.
Qin Anming lowered his head and looked at the fish and meat dishes on the table, feeling a little dazed.
Uncle Xu looked up at the moon, wondering what year it was in the palace in heaven.
Alas, I don’t know if I can find a secluded place when I retire.
Xiao Cui took a bite of the fish and looked at the moon, not knowing where she would go next.
Linglong and Fuer smiled at each other, held hands and looked at the moon. It was great that we were together every year and had each other's company no matter how difficult or tiring it was.
Xiaoguo looked up at the moon, and the reflection of the moon appeared in his eyes. It has been a long time since he saw such a big and beautiful moon...
Zhuangzhuang saw that they were not eating anymore and were just staring at the sky, so he also looked up at the sky out of curiosity. Well, the moon was indeed beautiful, but...
"Mom, I still want to eat fish."
The sound of a strong and innocent child came, awakening everyone. Everyone smiled at each other and put away their worries.
Qin Anming reacted, laughed, picked up a piece of fish meat for Zhuangzhuang with his chopsticks, picked out the bones, and put it to Zhuangzhuang's mouth to feed him.
Zhuangzhuang ate it in one gulp, and asked Xiaoguo to get him a sausage.
The group of people had been interrupted by a strong voice, and had long forgotten what they were thinking about, and continued to eat skewers while chatting and laughing...
Capital city.
The hall, which should have been magnificent, was now filled with piles of corpses.
The Moon Altar under the moonlight seems particularly quiet at this moment.
The blood-stained floor of the hall reflected a bright yellow figure sitting on the throne, shaking like a sieve.
The corpses of his cronies were all around him, and the blood was flowing down the corpses to his feet. Mu Taku looked at the man in the distance, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
"You, you you..."
His mouth seemed to be out of control. He couldn't utter a single word and just kept repeating "you you you".
Shao Zhan approached from a distance, stepping on countless corpses, and walked in front of the emperor. He looked up and down at the old man, opened his lips slightly, and uttered a light sentence.
“You’re still such a failure.”
Whether it was then or now.
Mu Taku looked at the figure that was stopped two meters away, staring at him with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to pounce over to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
But she was also jealous of the man who was guarding her all the time.
The armor on Jiang Shanhe's body was already covered in blood, which was dripping down along the pattern, leaving a bloody footprint with every step.
Despite this, his eyes were still firmly guarding Shao Zhan, and he pointed his blood-stained and silver-glowing sword at Mu Tuo.
Mu Taku tried to delay time, hoping that an army he had secretly trained would come to rescue him. He really didn't expect that no matter how many precautions he took, they couldn't stop him. If he had known this, he would not have kept him here either!
Shao Zhan saw through his thoughts and thought he was extremely ridiculous. He didn't know how such a naive person could destroy an entire palace.
"Okay, stop waiting and get going."
These words were spoken to Jiang Shanhe.
Shao Zhan's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he felt it was extremely meaningless. He no longer wanted to waste his time on this unworthy man, so he decided to send him off.
Jiang Shanhe took the order and stepped forward, ready to end it with one sword. Mu Tuo knew at this moment that the situation was hopeless, and without caring about his face, he knelt on the ground and begged for his life. The dragon robe on his body was crooked and stained with blood, and he exuded the aura of death from head to toe.
The trembling man had long lost his usual superior demeanor.
Shao Zhan couldn't help but frowning when he saw him like this. He was really disappointed. He thought he was a person worthy of his treatment, but he turned out to be so incompetent. He was so disappointed!
Too lazy to read any further, he gave Jiang Shanhe a look, and after receiving it, Jiang Shanhe immediately killed him with a sword.
After Mu Tuo fell, his eyes were still fixed on the dragon chair he longed for. He struggled twice before finally dying. His eyes were still full of regret. It would have been better if he had just been killed...
The corpses in the hall gave off a pungent smell of blood. Jiang Shanhe took a deep breath, retracted his sword, and followed Shao Zhan out of the hall.
All the ministers outside were lying prone, in a crowd of people, with a bloody sword pointing at each of them.
There were corpses lying all around, including palace maids, eunuchs, concubines, ministers, and the reinforcements that Mu Taku was waiting for.
Without exception, everyone had a look of terror on their face, and they all died with great fear.
The ministers trembled and lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads. Who knew that they would lose their lives on this trip? They all received the news of going to court at home, and came here in official uniforms. As soon as they entered the palace, they were restrained and brought here.
Countless people died in front of their eyes, and any of them who struggled to resist would be stabbed in the neck by a sword.
Gradually, the remaining people became quiet, not daring to struggle or speak. The timid civil servants were so frightened that they had urinary incontinence, but even so they did not dare to make any movement, and just let the urine drip onto the ground along their clothes.
At this moment, they were all lying on the ground as if they were silent. If it weren't for the occasional shaking of their bodies, it would be difficult to tell them apart from corpses.
Shao Zhan looked at the group of people below, wondering how to deal with them.
These people are all ministers who have not yet submitted to him. Should he kill them or keep them?
Jiang Shanhe stood aside, looking down with gloomy eyes. Even though he was used to killing, he still felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, this killing would be over soon.
As long as I get through tonight I can go home and stay away from here forever.
Shao Zhan remained silent, and the ministers below were unsure of his thoughts and felt tormented all the time. They did not want to die and would have submitted to him if they had known this earlier.
The silver sword next to it was wielding a powerful sword, as if it could chop them in half at any moment.
At this moment, Li Shouji, whose body was also covered in blood, came to Jiang Shanhe and spoke to him.
Jiang Shanhe nodded, walked to Shao Zhan's side, and whispered, "Prince, all the officers and soldiers outside the city have been strangled and replaced by our own people. Only these ministers are left."
Shao Zhan nodded to show that he understood, and looked at the ministers below with indifferent eyes. He already had a plan in his mind.
Jiang Shanhe understood their stay or departure by looking at his eyes, and felt gloomy in his heart, as it seemed that they could not stay.
Suddenly, screams echoed throughout the palace. Without exception, everyone died.
Overnight, the entire palace was replaced. The corpses were pulled into the pit one by one. On the top was a wooden rubbing. Oil was poured on it and set on fire. In an instant, billowing black smoke rose up.
The fire burned for three days.
The Three Heavenly Palace quickly returned to its original appearance, and sitting on the dragon throne was Shao Zhan, dressed in a dragon robe.
"Long live the emperor."
A smile appeared on Shao Zhan's lips, his eyes scanned everyone with a sense of oppression, and then he said lightly.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
