"Quickly send someone to escort Consort Qin and His Highness out of the palace!”
As he was thinking, a man in a long robe rushed in from outside King Qin's residence with a terrified expression.
"Minister Tang, how is His Highness the King of Qin?”
The housekeeper's face turned pale, and everyone looked over in unison. The woman in front of the main hall dragged the little boy and walked three steps forward. She wiped her tears and said,"Guardian Tang, is Second Brother well?”
" The Crown Prince has conquered the entire Chang 'an Fortress. The King of Qin has escaped with injuries. He's in grave danger..."
The man was Tang Jian, Li Er's chief historian in Luoyang's Heavenly Strategy General's Mansion. To put it bluntly, he was Li Er's aide. He had followed Li Er since Li Yuan's uprising in Taiyuan. He was an old official of King Qin's Mansion.
Tang Jian's face was pale. He led everyone back to the hall in a hurry."Princess Consort, our King of Qin's power has been lost. The Zhangsun Clan has been killed, and Lord Zhangsun has died tragically in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate. The Crown Prince would probably kill Prince Chengqian, Princess, and the others. In order to protect the case, hope the princess quickly take the prince away from the palace. There's no time to lose. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out…"
The woman was not an outsider, but Zhangsun Wugou. She seemed to have expected all of this, and her pale face was not surprised at all.
"My elder brother died under the Crown Prince's blade to protect my second brother. Now that my Zhangsun family has been wiped out and my second brother's life is unknown, where can I escape to?”
Her gentle yet firm voice accentuated Zhangsun Wugou's helplessness. He grabbed the little boy beside him with one hand and turned to hand him over to Tang Jian." But…Cheng Qian has been handed over to Tang Changshi, I have no plans to escape…"
Bang--
Clang!
Just as he was speaking, the sound of a collision suddenly came from outside the manor, accompanied by a series of angry roars."Open the door! Open the door…"
Seeing this, Tang Jian and the woman were so frightened that they quickly covered the little boy behind them and looked outside the door nervously.
With a clang, the two hard doors of the mansion were smashed open. Xue Wanche, who was full of killing intent, led hundreds of Golden Guards into the mansion. He drew his sword and shouted,"Capture everyone, don't let anyone off!”
"Yes, sir!"
The fierce warriors searched all the rooms in the manor without hesitation. They captured the maids, family members, and swaddled children and brought them up one after another.
"Xue Wanche, do you know that this is Prince Qin's residence?”
Tang Jian maintained the last of his scholarly character. He faced Li Chengqian and the others with all his might, trying to save them."This is His Majesty's grandson, the son of the King of Qin. What are you doing?”
"King Qin's Mansion?"
Xue Wanche sneered and slammed his blade onto the ground,""I even dared to kill the King of Qin. Who the f * ck do you think you are? Men, take this person away and give him fifty strokes!”
"Yes, sir!"
After the two soldiers escorted Tang Jian away, Xue Wanche held the bloody blade in his hand and coldly scanned the crowd. Finally, his gaze fell on Zhangsun Wugou."His Highness the King of Qin attempted to rebel early this morning. He sent troops to Xuanwu Sect and beheaded His Highness the King of Qi. I am here on the orders of the Crown Prince to wash the Qin Residence in blood! Don't blame me for being ruthless, but blame Li Shi Min for having thoughts that he shouldn't have…"
Then, he suddenly turned around and shouted,"Men, behead everyone in the Imperial Residence except for the women!”
"Understood!"
"No! Don't…"
"Xue Wanche, you dare…"
For a moment, Zhangsun Wugou, Concubine Yang, and the others who were being held down panicked. They struggled desperately and roared with red faces,"Cheng Qian? What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Ke 'er, my Ke' er…"
"Tai 'er…"
Miserable cries rose and fell. Waves of desperate cries and cries for help were heard. Dozens of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The disheveled Zhangsun Wugou struggled with all his might.
However, all of this was in vain.
The young Li Chengqian, the swaddled Li Tai, Li Ke, Li Kuan, Li You, and the other six or seven boys were all killed in quick succession without any delay.
"Reporting to the general, a pregnant woman has been discovered!”
The blood-stained knife was still confiscated, and another soldier dragged a pregnant woman out.
"Kill them!"
Xue Wanche didn't even look at him and said directly.
The sounds of slaughter covered the entire King Qin's Residence. All the men, including the butler, were killed. Blood spurted wildly, and the air was filled with the smell of despair.
When the corpses of Li Chengqian and the others rolled to the ground, Zhangsun Wugou's vision instantly turned black, and his entire person fainted on the ground.
Blood!
There was blood everywhere, and it was extremely eye-catching!
The huge King Qin's Residence had turned into a living hell at this moment. The women who were dyed red with blood and the men who were killed were lying on the ground in a mess. The desolate and sorrowful atmosphere showed the situation of the royal regime.
Many of the soldiers who had seen such a scene for the first time were shocked. For the first time, they felt the luck of being a commoner.
"General, how should we deal with these people?”
After killing all the men, Xue Wanche's face was cold as he waved his hand and said,""Take him away and place him under heavy guard. The Crown Prince has ordered that if anyone is found to have committed suicide, all of you will be buried with him.”
"I…I understand!"
The soldiers were as silent as cicadas in winter, their necks shrinking in fear. They dragged Zhangsun Wugou, Concubine Yang, and a group of women in twos and threes, leaving one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Guards of King Qin's Mansion were all evacuated. The blood-red gate was wide open, and from afar, one could see the corpses and messy courtyard.
