Chapter 15: Because I like him
The night was filled with darkness, and the drum was already beating at the third hour. The city of Linjing, which was shrouded in the night, was as quiet as usual, but there was a little more of the solemn and gloomy feeling of the storm coming.
Layers of ink clouds surged up, covering the moonlight, and the silent light on the street became thinner and obscure. At this time, suddenly, bursts of swords and swords attacked from all over Linjing, and slowly spread to the entire Linjing with the unparalleled momentum of sweeping away the universe and shaking the wind and clouds!
The emperor gave the order and the dead bones were born thousands of miles away.
The moment the new king ordered, countless Kyoto Imperial Guards with strong stern stern set out at the same time, surrounding the powerful mansions everywhere in the capital in a very short time.
This night is destined to be a killing night, and countless creatures are about to disappear under the fire of swords and swords!
The war horses neighed in the capital, and the official residences were constantly turning into hell on earth, screaming in pain. Even with the flames soaring into the sky, all officials who opposed Zhang Jingyao's seizure of power were killed!
After one night, the drama of Linjing City came to an end. The ignorant people woke up and realized that the empire had changed. The former king was killed and the Duke of Wei was also killed. The head was still hung on the city gate. The more than 50 officials in the court, except for forty-six people who announced their loyalty to the new king, were killed. More than ten official residences were burned to death. The family and wife were left alone. The bloody smell of soaring into the sky filled the streets and alleys of Linjing City.
For a time, everyone in the empire was in danger, and everyone saw the domineering and murderous aura of the new king. In addition, the royal family was destroyed, and the only Duke of Wei who could compete with him was also killed. All these changes were no longer able to return.
It was just dawn. As usual, it was less than half an hour before today's morning court. Zhang Jingyao changed into a new emperor outfit and sat in the palace study. A day ago, the previous master of the empire was sitting here.
In the quiet and magnificent bookstore, sandalwood lingers, which makes people feel refreshed. Zhang Jingyao casually flips through the books in his hand, like a dormant tiger, with a powerful aura faintly coming from his body.
"Your Majesty." At this time, Xiao Qian whispered outside the study.
"Come in." Zhang Jingyao glanced lazily, lay back, leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to rest. Too many things happened that night, and he was a little tired.
"Your Majesty, the morning court affairs have been settled." Xiao Qian rushed over and bowed to report.
"Very good!" Zhang Jingyao responded casually, still not opening his eyes.
Bang bang!
At this moment, a series of rapid knocks on the door reached his ears. Zhang Jingyao, who was sitting on the chair, shook his ears, and his face suddenly became dark. He raised his head and was about to scold him, but a hurried voice came into his ears.
"Your Majesty, I will ask for an urgent matter."
"Let him come in." Zhang Jingyao said to Xiao Qian beside him.
Xiao Qiangong bowed his hand and walked out of the study softly. Then a general in armor ran in a hurry, looking a little uneasy. Xiao Qian patted the general's shoulder with his palm, winked at the other side of the throne, indicating that he should not be too reckless.
The general in armor nodded gratefully.
"How did you do everything you do?" Zhang Jingyao played with a piece of exquisite jade in his hand, and his tone was cold.
"Report to Your Majesty, your arrangements are all done, but the princess has not been found yet." The general who reported the situation glanced at Zhang Jingyao, then immediately buried his head and said timidly.
"What!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jingyao's face suddenly filled with anger and his face suddenly became sharp. He slapped the table and stood up suddenly, and ordered: "Give orders to find that little girl as soon as possible, otherwise be careful of your head!"
Over the years, he endured and lingered in the officialdom. He had seen too many anti-witch disasters that could not be eliminated. Now he has finally rebelled and has great power. All the power of the former kings will be destroyed. Even his youngest daughter, a woman, is not allowed to stay in the world!
"I will understand!"
The general who was scared into cold sweat quickly responded, then bowed his body and took two steps back, turned around and wanted to leave, but before he could walk out of the study, Zhang Jingyao was drunk again.
"When I go back, I tell General Ye Yunfeng that the second generation ancestor of Xun Changfeng's family must also be found. He went out of the city yesterday evening, chased along the way, searched all the brothels and casinos in Linjing, and be sure to get him back before the sun sets."
"yes!"
Nodded, the visitor took the door and left.
"Stop eavesdropping, have something to say." After the general in charge of the report left, Zhang Jingyao leaned against the chair, found a comfortable position, glanced at the brocade curtain beside him and said casually.
"father!"
The curtain suddenly opened, and a light purple figure rushed out anxiously.
This is a thirteen-four-year-old girl, wearing a purple dress, with extremely delicate facial features and a clear and refined temperament, especially her pretty face with a pink and jade-carved face, which is soft and handsome, with willow leaves and eyebrows, and frowning, a faint charming style.
"What's wrong with Ling Xi." Zhang Jingyao looked at the girl in purple and laughed softly. The ambitions accumulated over the years have been realized, and he is in a very good mood.
"Sister is dead!" The girl in purple didn't have time to pay attention to her father and roared hysterically at the top of her throat. When she said this, her nose felt sore, and her clear eyes immediately slid down two lines of tears.
"I know, but so what?" Zhang Jingyao seemed to have no feeling at all about what his daughter said. He picked up the memorial on the desk casually, paused his voice a little, and his tone was still dull and terrifying.
"That's your daughter!" Her father's words made her chest tremble inexplicably. Although her eldest sister married into the royal family, she was the daughter of the Zhang family after all, but now she ended up hanging herself.
"When she married the second prince, she was already a royal family. Now that the royal family has fallen, she can commit suicide for her husband's family, and she is better than living in the world." Zhang Jingyao lazily flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, and responded to his daughter coldly without raising her head.
"Do you mean that my sister married into the royal family is just a political transaction? As for me, my childhood relative with Xunqiu is also under your plan? Is it?"
The girl in purple had her teeth clenched her red lips, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she said. She was afraid that the father in front of her would nod and give her a painful answer.
The daughter's tears made Zhang Jingyao feel helpless. He hurriedly got up from the seat, stepped forward and stroked the girl in purple, and put on the gentle and gentle words as much as possible and persuaded: "Okay, good daughter, don't think so much. At that time, your sister married to the royal family, and then got along very well. As for your young relatives with that boy Xunqiu, don't you like him very much now?"
"Then can you spare him?" The girl in purple raised her sad pretty face, as if begging.
"Impossible!" Zhang Jingyao refused without thinking, then sighed helplessly, and persuaded with great thought: "Now he is no longer the son of Duke Wei, but a fugitive. You are no longer the daughter of the great master. But as a princess, you are suitable for a better person, not a second-generation ancestor who is in trouble."
In his early years, Zhang Jingyao became sworn brothers with Xun Changfeng, Duke of Wei, and used his daughter to marry a young family with Xun Mansion. However, as his daughter grew up, Xunqiu became a veritable playboy, but his daughter fell in love with him.
"Dad, I'm a daughter begging you, let him go." Seeing his father's resolute expression, the girl in purple felt a little painful for no reason. She hurriedly knelt down and begged, her voice choked.
"Impossible!" Zhang Jingyao glared at his daughter, his tone unquestionable.
"Xunqiu must die, I can't leave a potential disaster!"
The girl in purple still didn't give up, knelt on the ground without getting up, and said with red eyes: "He is just a second-generation ancestor who is greedy for wealth and wealth. How could he threaten you without ideals or enterprising spirit?"
"Since he is a second-generation ancestor who is greedy for wealth and wealth, why can't you let it go!"
"Because I like him!" The girl stubbornly raised her neck and faced her father's fierce expression.
"Nothing!"
"father……"
"Enough!!!" Zhang Jingyao stared at his eyes, his face trembled with anger. He interrupted his daughter's words, then roared and left with a roar.
