Chapter 448 Emperor Xia: I Will Personally Use This Magic Weapon
After returning to the Qiwang Mansion, everyone in the Qiwang Mansion was in a panic. Now that the Qiwang Mansion was dead, their backers were gone, and they became prisoners. According to convention, the people in their Qiwang Mansion would most likely be executed.
When the people in the Qiwang Mansion were panicking, there were some people who were even more panicking, that is, the noble families in the city.
Although Xuanyuan Chen seemed to have let them go, this was only temporary.
After Xuanyuan Chen found out the relationship between the noble families in their city and the Qiwang Mansion, he would probably settle accounts with these noble families.
So they absolutely could not sit and wait for death.
Of course, they did not intend to fight the Northern soldiers head-on. After all, the Northern Army had such terrible weapons, and even the hundreds of thousands of Qi Kingdom’s troops were defeated by the Northern Army. The private soldiers of their noble families could not be the opponents of the Northern Army at all.
The best way now is to find a way to escape from the royal capital.
Now that the noble families have expressed their submission to the Northern King, the Northern Army is likely to relax its vigilance.
The heads of several major families thought of the same thing. They quickly got in touch in secret and began to make an escape plan.
Several major families are located in various directions of the capital. Once they take action, the noise will be very loud and they cannot gather together in a short time. However, it is precisely because they are located in various directions of the capital that they have the opportunity to escape.
If they escape from one direction, they may be surrounded by the Northern Army and caught in one fell swoop.
If they escape from various city gates, they can distract the attention of the Northern Army and their escape is more likely.
After Han Fu decided to escape, he immediately asked his family members to pack up and find a way to contact the captured soldiers. ‘6’‘9’‘s’‘h’‘u’‘x’‘.’‘c’‘o’‘m’
One night a few days later, the most prosperous Flower Street in the capital of Qi State burned to death with a raging fire, and almost everyone's attention fell on Flower Street.
Several teams followed the routes they had planned before and headed straight to the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northeast.
Although these families did not have great masters, they still had master-level masters. Just when they thought they could rely on masters to rush out of the city gate, the weapons used by the Northern Army soon broke their fantasy.
The masters of the major families had not even approached the soldiers guarding the city gate when they were shot into sieves by the muskets of the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom.
However, there is always a chance of something happening.
Because there was a huge gap in the North Gate, many people from the Han family escaped through the gap under the cover of the Han family's private soldiers.
When Xuanyuan Chen learned that someone had escaped, he was not angry, but smiled.
If the family did not escape, it would be difficult for him to take action. Since they took the initiative to make trouble, don't blame yourself.
Then Xuanyuan Chen asked the messenger to fire a signal flare, and a huge group of fireworks bloomed in the dark night, and then the cavalry that had been prepared for a long time went out.
One night passed quickly.
Several major families in the capital of Qi Kingdom became history.
The news that the capital of Qi Kingdom was breached quickly spread to all major forces and also to the court.
Great Xia Dynasty, Beijing.
In the imperial study, Emperor Xia frowned and looked at the information in his hand.
Although he had expected that the destruction of Qi Kingdom was a matter of time, he did not expect that this day would come so soon.
Is the weapon of that traitor really that terrible!
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Qi State plus the 200,000 soldiers of the imperial court did not stop the traitor's southward march. According to their speed, it would not take long for the traitor to reach the capital.
At this time, the candles in the room suddenly fluttered, as if two gusts of wind blew into the imperial study.
The next moment, Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou appeared in the imperial study.
Emperor Xia said unhappily: "Although we have cooperated, it does not mean that you can do whatever you want in my palace and go wherever you want."
Yu Changqing ignored Emperor Xia's words. He stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty must have known the news of the destruction of Qi State, right?"
Emperor Xia said: "So what if you know."
Yu Changqing continued: "We have confirmed through spies that the former Palace Master and Palace Master of Xuanyue Palace went south with the King of the North. According to their speed, they will be able to reach the capital within three months. We must also be prepared."
Emperor Xia said lightly: "I have already made preparations."
Fu Hongchou asked on the side: "Since Your Majesty said that you have made preparations, I wonder who Your Majesty plans to give the magic weapon to?"
Hearing this, Emperor Xia frowned immediately.
After a moment of silence, he swept his sharp eyes over Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou, "Why, are you interested in that magic weapon?"
Emperor Xia suddenly felt that the two were planning to take the magic weapon, otherwise why would they come to ask about it.
Yu Changqing saw that Emperor Xia had misunderstood, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty may not know that a magic weapon of this power is not something that ordinary people can use."
"You also said before that your soldiers accidentally activated a magic weapon, and as a result, the soldier was directly backfired and died on the spot."
"If such a dangerous magic weapon is not given to a reliable person to use, let alone whether it will backfire on itself, I am afraid that whether it can hit the old palace master of Xuanyue Palace is a problem."
After hearing what Yu Changqing said, Emperor Xia fell into deep thought. This is indeed a problem.
He had long been thinking about who should be given this weapon. If he gave it to someone else, what if that person suddenly betrayed him during the battle, wouldn't he be killed by the magic weapon instead?
But the magic weapon was too weird. Every time he saw the magic weapon sucking the blood of the warriors, he felt extremely creepy.
If he used such a weird weapon himself, what if it backfired...
After thinking about it, Emperor Xia still said: "I will use this magic weapon myself, so you two don't have to worry about it."
After hearing what Emperor Xia said, Yu Changqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty is so brave!"
"Since Your Majesty has decided to use this magic weapon himself, we won't say anything more."
...
Cloud City.
Lu Yi's temporary residence.
In the courtyard of the residence, the generals said nothing.
No one knew what to do now.
Many people at the scene joined Lu Yi's team mainly because the Northern King supported Lu Yi. As a result, the Northern King led his troops to the south under the slogan of serving the king.
Moreover, they destroyed Qi State in such a short time. They are not fools. They can see what the Northern King is going south for.
This is obviously to seize the throne!
Although there seem to be many powerful forces gathered around Lu Yi now, these people are all scheming and are not sincere to Lu Yi.
Many of them have already thought about leaving Lu Yi's team and running to the Northern King.
And Lu Yi has no confidence in himself. When he thinks of the mysterious weapons of the Northern Kingdom, his back feels cold. The scene when Xuanyuan Chen led his troops to attack Heyang County has been deeply engraved in Lu Yi's heart.
Now he still dreams of himself being blown to pieces by the cannons of the Northern Kingdom when he sleeps at night.
At this moment, an exciting message suddenly came from outside the yard, "Your Highness, Your Highness, good news!!!"
Everyone in the yard immediately looked towards the gate of the yard, and a soldier rushed in from outside.
Lu Yi said with a stern face: "What good news?"
Lu Yi didn't think there would be any good news for him now.
After the soldier ran into the yard, he said breathlessly: "We found something that can explode like the iron ball in the north!" (End of this chapter)
