Chapter 604: A thought of ice cold
The imperial capital is extremely cold.
After experiencing the previous catastrophe, the talents of the imperial capital withered, and everyone who worked in the office was in danger. The Tianzhuo had already died in name only and no official was in charge. After Huang Yuanwu led his troops into the imperial capital, he arranged several soldiers in the Tianzhuo because he wanted to temporarily detain Yang Qin and others. The imperial capital was complicated, and no one paid attention to it after Huang Yuanwu disappeared. It happened that there were rare snow disasters and food shortages. There were not many prisoners in the Tianzhuo, and the guards would not take care of them deliberately, which directly led to the desolate situation of many prisoners in the Tianzhuo.
When Huang Yuanwu found Yang Qin, he had already breathed a sigh of relief.
His pale face should have looked a little gloomy in the dark candlelight of the prison. After a few days of dropping rice, Yang Qin's breath was a little weak, and he was already on the verge of dying. However, when he saw Huang Yuanwu appearing outside the cell, his eyes suddenly lit up. His strength from nowhere in his body actually stood up from the ground, staggered to the edge of the cell, and looked directly at Huang Yuanwu's eyes.
Huang Yuanwu stood outside the cell, looking at Yang Qin in front of him, and his heart was calm. After learning the truth about Qi Tian, the person in front of him had no practical significance to him, but Huang Yuanwu still had a hint of hatred in his heart. It was precisely because of this hint of hatred that he came today.
"You...hehe..." Yang Qin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Huang Yuanwu's calm face, he eventually turned into a chuckling, and his body shook his head tremblingly, and stopped talking.
Huang Yuanwu winked, and the soldier who was responsible for guarding the Tianzhu was immediately forward and opened the door of Yang Qinzhu. Huang Yuanwu stepped in and grabbed the hilt of his Dongwang Sword with one hand, narrowing his eyes slightly.
At this moment, Yang Qin had already learned his fate, or he had already known it since Huang Yuanwu entered the city. Looking at Huang Yuanwu, Yang Qin was not afraid at all, and even had a smile on his face, and he said softly: "Do you think you can take revenge by killing me..."
His voice was very low, and all the strength in his body was supporting him to stand up and not fall down, so his voice was trembling a little.
Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, waved his hand lightly, and a clear light quickly passed through Yang Qin's neck and put his sword into the sheath. This action happened in an instant, and the candlelight outside trembled slightly, and I really thought nothing had happened.
The smile on Yang Qin's face was still the same. A very slight wound suddenly broke open on his neck, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, instantly dyeing his front bra red.
The expression on Yang Qin's face froze, and a key figure who caused the storm to make the world dies in the dungeon.
Huang Yuanwu took a step back, preventing the blood from flowing out of Yang Qin's body from staining his boots. He looked at Yang Qin's smoke, and his expression on his face did not change at all.
Yang Qin's death marked the end of the war in the Qitian Emperor Capital; in the end, Huang Yuanwu entered the Qitian Emperor Capital, the rebellion of the Three Kings was quelled, and the culprit Yang Qin was executed, and everything seemed to be over.
As the final winner, Huang Yuanwu should be happy in his heart, but when he looked at Yang Qin who was lying in a pool of blood, he could only feel endless coldness in his heart.
Is the winner really the winner?
Looking back on every bit over the past few months, Emperor Yuanwu can no longer tell who is right or wrong. It seems that he can stir up the war in the world, hundreds of thousands of soldiers appeared in front of the imperial capital, and the war was about to begin, and thousands of lives were hanging on the line, but in fact, it was just a battle between a few outsiders.
A thought suddenly appeared in Huang Yuanwu's mind. If the person who fell to the ground now was himself, then...
This idea only appeared for a moment and disappeared. Huang Yuanwu glanced at the corpse that was lying on the ground again, stepped out of the cell, and walked out without looking back. At the same time, he ordered the sergeant guarding the cell, "The corpse is hung on the top of the city and displayed for seven days." The sergeant immediately took the order, and did not dare to breathe.
Perhaps Huang Yuanwu himself did not feel that he had changed after returning from the secret realm, becoming more decisive and ruthless.
The previous Emperor Yuanwu could not have directly gone to the current emperor to ask him to abdicate, nor could it have simply ended Yang Qin's life. No one knew what Emperor Yuanwu saw in the secret realm, nor did anyone know what agreement was between him and the Shunxingzhe.
The boundary gate that covered the sky and the sun was still in mid-air. Huang Yuanwu came out of the dungeon and walked straight out of the palace with his personal guards, and entered the streets of the imperial capital.
The news that Huang Yuanwu appeared again spread throughout the imperial capital at an extremely fast speed. All the soldiers who fled abroad received the orders conveyed by Ding Jiang. After experiencing these, it was difficult for them to react in a short time. Without the support of a powerful army, the chaos in the imperial capital would not end easily. Huang Yuanwu appeared in the imperial capital in person to implement his previous orders.
The imperial capital is in a mess at this moment.
The streets and alleys were buried by heavy snow for several days, and there was heavy snow on both sides of the street. In the distance, you could see some thick smoke. The residents who had lost their minds lit their houses, but under the heavy snow, the fire did not ignite, only rolling smoke came out.
The roads in the central street are flat, but on the streets, there are dead bodies everywhere. From time to time, people are running around in the streets, hoping to take advantage of the chaos in the imperial capital to give themselves some benefits. Such people are not a small number in the imperial capital.
"Civilians will come home and take advantage of the situation to rob, and they will be killed without mercy!" Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu frowned and issued an order to the personal bodyguard behind him.
There were seven personal guards of Huang Yuanwu, each of whom was outstanding at the level of warriors. He followed the orders of Huang Yuanwu. After hearing Huang Yuanwu's orders, he immediately scattered everywhere, centered on the central street and quickly dispersed around. All those who saw robbery, those who entered the shop, those who burned, killed, and robbed, were killed without mercy.
Huang Yuanwu's mood was extremely gloomy. He held the Dongwang Sword in his hand and headed straight for the gate of the imperial capital.
Most residents and soldiers of the imperial capital ran out of the imperial capital within an hour when the realm gate appeared. A very few people chose to stay at home and wait for death. At this time, more people chose to occupy other people's property, burn, kill, loot, than those who stayed at home. Thinking of experiencing so many things, they finally wanted to protect such people, Huang Yuanwu felt an endless disgust from his heart.
He looked calm and headed towards the gate of the imperial capital.
On the street, there were many corpses lying everywhere, some were trampled and died while escaping their lives, and some were killed by others while fighting for property. These people became dry bones on the roadside, and there was no way to know everything about them during their lifetime.
As he was walking forward, a sound suddenly came from the shop next to him, accompanied by the sound of a woman screaming. Huang Yuanwu frowned, turned his direction, and approached the shop in a few steps.
Standing outside the shop, he could clearly hear the sound inside, and the sound of a woman shouting was mixed with the sound of a woman, but the woman was obviously covered by someone's mouth and nose, and the sound of a scream was not loud. If it weren't for standing at the door, it would be quite inappropriate.
Without thinking, Huang Yuanwu raised his leg and kicked open the door of the store. This should be a shop that operates medicinal materials. The front hall was in a mess at this moment. A large number of medicinal materials were thrown all over the floor, and the medicine cabinet that was attached to the wall was pushed. Huang Yuanwu did not make a sound, and carried the East King's sword and headed straight to the back room.
Because Huang Yuanwu suddenly raised his leg and kicked the door, the sound was huge, and there was no sound inside immediately. In the darkness, he could only vaguely distinguish the way forward. Huang Yuanwu smelled a very strong smell of blood and his brows frowned even tighter.
"Huh..." Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came towards him, and Huang Yuanwu raised his hand to block it. After the secret realm was transformed, the fighting spirit in his body had turned into pure white energy. The white light was strong, accompanied by a "Oh", and a figure fell out and hit the wall beside him. Although he couldn't see the situation in front of him, Huang Yuanwu still instinctively counterattacked, swung out with one punch, and a substantial fist print hit straight forward, directly hitting the body just now. The man didn't even hum and died on the spot.
After doing this, Huang Yuanwu stretched out one hand and circulated the power in his body. A crystal white light ball appeared in his palm. Through the white light emitted by the light ball, he could see everything around him clearly.
This is the back hall of the store, and it is also a mess. In front of him, a man in a civilian dress died in the corner, holding a long knife in his hand. The person who attacked him was the one who had just attacked him. On the side, a strong man was holding a woman with a long knife in his hand. The woman looked dying. She looked at Huang Yuanwu with endless begging. Her clothes were torn to pieces, and her face was covered with dirt. The man behind him stared at Huang Yuanwu fiercely. After seeing the light ball in his hand, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
"You... who are you! Don't move, I'll kill her if you move!" The big man saw Huang Yuanwu's eyes turn, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs. At the same time, the long sword in his hand approached the woman, and a hole had already been cut in her neck, and the red blood flowed out.
Huang Yuanwu narrowed his eyes slightly. When he looked at the big man, he looked at another dead man. Instead of going forward, he looked around and saw a chair that he had not been seen. Without thinking, he sat up straight.
The man stared at Huang Yuanwu, and his heart became more and more frightened, and his hands holding the knife were trembling. Compared to what he said, he himself was even less daring to act rashly. The man in front of him was obviously a cultivator. If he wanted to kill him, there was no difference between pinching an ant to death.
Huang Yuanwu sat on the chair and looked around the house. In the corner of the side, he saw three corpses piled up together. Blood kept flowing out of the corpses. This must have been done by the two people who broke in. These three corpses were one old and one young, and there was also a small young man. Huang Yuanwu narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes shifted, and looked at the woman in front of him.
"All these are your family?" Huang Yuanwu asked softly.
The woman was tied with a big man and had no way to resist and could not speak. She looked at Huang Yuanwu, with a plea in her eyes and nodded fiercely. Even though she nodded, the wound on her neck became a little deeper.
"You killed?" Huang Yuanwu looked at the big man again and asked.
When the Great Han was asked by Emperor Yuanwu, he immediately felt like he was falling into an ice cave. His whole body was trembling violently, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes... I killed it, how about it! Even if I die today, I will be able to do it!"
"Okay." Huang Yuanwu nodded, his palm closed, and the light ball in his palm suddenly went out.
The next moment, the man suddenly felt a coldness around him. The long sword in his hand was thrown to the ground involuntarily. The hand that was originally holding the woman couldn't help but let go, and the woman suddenly disappeared.
He suddenly felt his neck hot, and he reached out to touch it, but felt a piece of sticky liquid.
Before he could shout, the man's body fell straight to the ground and died on the spot.
When the woman came to her senses in panic, the figure who had just saved her had disappeared. Outside the shop, a gust of cold wind blew, and the room was covered in coldness.
The woman trembled and picked up the long knife on the ground, slashed wildly, and shouted hysterically.
This is just the tip of the iceberg that happened in the imperial capital. Huang Yuanwu's heart was cold.
Li Min...Is this what I want...
