Shang Hongyu: "..."
She never expected that Ao Yong would make such connections.
"But we have to thank that guy for luring Kalchi away; now no one's bothering us." Zaun looked down at her fiery red face. "Shall we continue?"
Shang Hongyu bit her lip lightly, feeling a mix of anticipation and fear. She subconsciously reached out to stop him again: "Then you can't do what you did just now."
“But your body clearly doesn’t want to think that way.” Zuan was somewhat shocked. As expected of a sea creature, she had completely become flesh and blood made of water.
"That...that's all because of that bottle of Xiao Yao Dew, it has nothing to do with me." Shang Hongyu pleaded, her face flushed. "I really have never done anything like this before, please don't..."
Zuan laughed heartily: "That's not up to you!"
...
boom!
In the human capital, the gates of the Liu family, which had been held for a long time, were completely smashed open by the enemy's massive battering ram. The battering ram's momentum did not diminish, and it crashed directly into the Liu mansion.
Many of the Liu family's guards tried to stop them along the way, but how could they stop the terrifying battering ram?
They were either pushed to the sides or crushed into mincemeat from the front.
Countless drops of blood were spilled all over the ground.
The entire Liu family was plunged into utter despair, while the soldiers on King Wu's side were in high spirits and charged in with shouts.
Inside the Liu residence, the Liu brothers were frantic, like ants on a hot pan. At this moment, someone advised, "Master, we can't hold out any longer. We'll risk our lives to escort you two masters out of here."
Liu Guang and Liu Yao's eyes lit up: "That's right, as long as we can escape, we'll have a chance to make a comeback!"
At that moment, a mocking laugh rang out: "Escape? Where can you escape to?"
The King of Wu, clad in full armor, led a group of skilled warriors in, his face contorted with a sinister grin.
Liu Guang suddenly shouted, "Everyone, follow me to capture this traitorous King Wu!"
He knew in his heart that now, the only way to survive was to capture the leader first.
The King of Wu seemed confident of victory and dared to personally charge in, giving them a chance to fight back.
The Liu family members also realized what was happening and rushed over after him.
The Liu family has held power for so many years and has recruited many experts. Now, their desperate attack is extremely frightening.
The King of Wu was merely a regional vassal king, and it was unlikely that the talents and experts under his command could compare to those of the Liu family.
However, the King of Wu remained calm and coldly said, "Liu Guang and Liu Yao disobeyed the imperial decree and even attempted to assassinate the imperial envoy. Their crimes are compounded, and they shall be executed on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of warriors suddenly appeared behind him. These people did not need to shout loudly to make their moves. On the contrary, they remained silent throughout the entire process, exuding a special kind of murderous aura.
Their moves were very direct, and their teamwork was excellent. With each swift strike, a life was taken. Soon, many of the Liu family's experts lay dead in pools of blood.
Not long after, Liu Guang and Liu Yao were also ambushed from the side and their heads were cut off.
As their heads flew into the air and spun, their last thought was, "How could the King of Wu have so many terrifyingly skilled warriors under his command?"
With the deaths of the two brothers, the morale of the Liu family collapsed instantly. Everyone scrambled to escape, and it turned into a one-sided massacre.
With one foot planted on the head seat of the hall, a symbol of power in the Liu family, the King of Wu was extremely excited: "Show the heads of Liu Guang and Liu Yao throughout the capital. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
After all, the Liu family had been operating in the capital for so many years, and their influence was quite deep-rooted.
Today's attack was merely a surprise, preventing them from fully utilizing their powerful forces. If they were to react in time, it could lead to further unforeseen circumstances.
However, once Liu Guang and Liu Yao's heads have been sent around to various places, those people will probably have no choice but to give up. Who would still be willing to risk their lives for two dead men?
Fires broke out throughout the capital, and there was fighting and chaos everywhere. Many nobles and ministers were unaware of what was happening and could only order their servants and guards to keep the gates tightly shut and guard their homes.
Before dawn, the capital gradually quieted down, clearly indicating that the outcome of the battle had been decided.
The spies sent out by the various families finally figured out what had happened. When they learned that the Liu family had been destroyed, they couldn't help but sigh.
In recent years, the Liu family has relied on their status as maternal relatives to promote their relatives to various key positions, which has aroused public anger.
Especially after the late emperor's death, with the Empress Dowager's support, the Liu brothers had no more scruples and became even more arrogant and domineering. People were already very dissatisfied with this in private, and many even secretly cursed them to come to an end.
Despite their dissatisfaction, no one expected their story to end in this way.
The court officials, already at the top of the empire's power structure, instinctively disliked any kind of uncertainty, and tonight's event brought far too many variables.
It seems that regional princes from other regions are also involved in this matter. If this trend continues, ambitious people all over the world will probably be eager to make their move.
Moreover, throughout the entire process, Hachiko did not step in to take charge. Did something happen to Hachiko, or did they tacitly approve of all of this happening?
The next day, after dawn, a bell suddenly rang out in the palace, summoning all the officials.
This bell is never turned on except in emergencies, and it seems to be the first time in recent decades that it has been used like this.
Many families even suspected that someone had set an ambush in the palace to take this opportunity to wipe them all out.
While everyone was watching, news soon arrived that Prince Yi and General Zhao Huang, the first to enter the palace to attend the court assembly.
He was Zhao Hao's uncle and held considerable prestige within the royal family. Since he had gone, it seemed that last night's events had little impact on the emperor.
