Chapter 686 Journey
The blood pooled into a stream, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Zhao Jun's corpses were scattered all over the place, filling the open space in front of the Chengqing Hall.
Luo Hong was soaked in blood, like a killing god breaking into Chengqing Hall, looking at King Zhao on the throne, he went straight up, lifted King Zhao from the dragon chair and threw it down.
King Zhao was old and staggered and rolled down the steps. His forehead was hit by the steps, and blood flowed out.
"Hahaha..." Zhao Wang was humiliated by Luo Hong. Instead of being angry, he laughed wildly. He just laughed, and suddenly there was a hint of desolation in his voice.
Luo Hong drew his sword and pointed at King Zhao, scolding: "Rumbling ministers and thieves, I want to see how long you can laugh?"
He said to the soldiers under him: "Tie them all up."
When the two soldiers heard the words, they immediately tied up King Zhao and Zhao Yuanliang. At this time, Luo Xin also walked in. He reminded: "Brother, there are also Queen Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince."
Luo Hong nodded with a gloomy face. He immediately led the other soldiers to the harem and handed over the previous matter to Luo Xin.
The road leading to the harem was full of corpses of palace maids. Seeing this scene, the haze in Luo Hong's heart became more and more intense.
It's just that he doesn't dare to delay.
The Thirteenth Prince was promoted to the throne by King Zhao, but the people in Chang'an City who didn't know the truth thought that the Thirteenth Prince was the emperor of today's Great Yu Kingdom, so the current status of the Thirteenth Prince was very special.
"General, look!"
While Luo Hong was thinking about it, a soldier suddenly pointed to a well in the palace. The one beside the well was none other than Empress Zhao.
Seeing this, Luo Hong immediately ran over with the soldiers.
"Miss."
Luo Hong stopped three meters away from Queen Zhao, and when she saw them approaching, Queen Zhao made a move that shocked them, and she stood by the well.
Empress Zhao was in a trance, and there was a crow's feet on her peerless face. She looked at Luo Hong with a dull expression and said, "It seems that King Qi's troops are really fighting. This palace asks you, is King Zhao dead? ?"
Empress Zhao is the queen of the late emperor. Now that Xiao Ming is on the throne, according to reason, Empress Zhao should also be one of the empress dowagers.
Out of his loyalty to the previous emperor, Luo Hong was still dissatisfied with the neglect of Queen Zhao. He said, "King Zhao has already been captured. The teachers and students are dead, but they have to wait for the emperor's release."
"Emperor? Has Xiao Ming ascended the throne?" Empress Zhao's eyes fluctuated slightly.
"Yes, the first emperor left an edict to let His Royal Highness King Qi ascend the throne."
When it came to Xiao Wenxuan, the emotional fluctuations of Queen Zhao became more and more obvious. She could not help sobbing softly and muttering to herself, "Your Majesty, it is the concubine who is sorry for you. Look, the concubine should be damned."
Empress Zhao was crying sadly, and Luo Hong couldn't bear it. He said, "My Lady's condolences, as the saying goes, if the north is unified, there is no need to worry about the threat of the vassal king."
Queen Zhao stopped crying when she heard the words. She gently touched the thirteenth prince who was only two years old in her arms. After a long silence, he said to Luo Hong: "This palace knows why you found this place, it must be for the thirteenth prince. "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the world cannot tolerate two masters, does Xiao Ming want you to kill the Thirteenth Prince?"
With despair in her eyes, Queen Zhao took another step towards the wellhead, and she said, "Go back and tell Xiao Ming that it is Ben Gong who is sorry for him, and Ben Gong will not cause him any trouble."
Luo Hong was shocked, and he hurriedly discouraged: "Miss 34, the thirteenth prince is only a two-year-old baby, what's wrong, the emperor will not kill the thirteenth prince, as long as the maiden will tell the truth of the Chang'an rebellion By making it public, the Empress and the Thirteenth Prince can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth."
Empress Zhao just smiled bitterly when she heard the words, "Treason is a serious crime, and this palace cannot escape."
After all, she was about to jump into the well, but at this time the Thirteenth Prince suddenly burst into tears, and Empress Zhao's body suddenly froze.
When Luo Hong rolled his eyes, he immediately strode forward, grabbed Queen Zhao and dragged her and the Thirteenth Prince down from the well.
"Offended, madam." Luo Hong said to the soldiers: "Protect madam."
Empress Zhao had a trace of grief in her eyes, but she no longer struggled at this time.
There were no more people in the palace who needed to be arrested. Luo Hong took King Zhao and his son, and Queen Zhao and his son to the camp.
They dare not live in the palace. Although the palace is now in Qingzhou, it is still disrespectful to live here.
Back at the camp, Luo Hong reported the victory to Niu Ben, and then told everything about King Zhao and Queen Zhao.
"General, how should King Zhao and his son, and Queen Zhao's mother and son deal with it now?" Luo Hong asked.
After pondering for a while, Niu Ben said: "The identities of the father and son of King Zhao and Queen Zhao's mother and son are both very sensitive, and it is inconvenient for me to deal with them. Now I can only send them to Qingzhou and wait for the emperor's release."
Luo Hong nodded, this kind of thing is indeed not something he can participate in.
Hands over, he was about to leave when Niu Ben's words rang out again, "Wait a minute, Ben will have something else to tell you."
"On the general's orders."
"Chang'an has been taken down by us, King Zhao has been captured by us again, and Zhao State has already existed in name only, but even so, there are still many things that we need to do. We received the emperor's will a few days ago, and the emperor asked us to pursue the victory. , to take down the city of Zhao State in one fell swoop and completely cut off the possibility of going south. After thinking about it, I decided to let you independently lead the army to recover Zhao State, and stay to guard the natural danger, what do you think?"
Luo Hong was overjoyed when he heard that, Niu Ben's arrangement was his trust in him, and he preferred Chang'an to Qingzhou.
"Thank you General for cultivating." Luo Hong thanked.
Niu Ben said with a smile: "Your father is Ben's best friend, so it's also right to take care of your brothers. After all, it's important to be a virtuous one, but guarding Zhao State is a big deal. I can't even hold it in front of me."
"The general is at ease, the general will be conscientious and diligent at the end." Luo Hong said.
Niu Ben nodded, and he let Luo Hong go back.
Watching Luo Hong go back, he put his eyes back on the map in front of him. King Zhao was captured. This Zhao State was their possession, and this also heralded the end of the war in the north.
Only then they will face the real enemy, the Golden Horde.
In the decree, Xiao Ming said very clearly that the Golden Horde was withdrawing its troops from Goryeo. It goes without saying that the purpose of this withdrawal was to concentrate on dealing with the Great Yu Kingdom.
In his opinion, the Golden Horde is definitely not as easy to deal with as these domestic vassal kings. This is a very barbaric race, and the most important thing is that everyone in this race is a soldier.
If the Golden Horde was determined to fight with the Great Yu Kingdom, it would definitely be more difficult than dealing with these vassal kings.
