Although Zhangsun Minzhi had left Chang 'an City.
But the waves he had stirred up had almost overturned the Great Tang.
The Imperial Palace was located in Chang 'an City, surrounded by markets. The bloodbath in the Imperial Palace could be heard in all directions.
That night, when the commoners near the palace heard the shouts and killing sounds that filled the sky, they thought of the mutiny. Could it be that there was another mutiny at the Black Tortoise Sect?
The news was spread by the people of Chang 'an that night.
The next day, in a tavern in the north of the city.
"What is it? Another incident at the Black Tortoise Sect?"
The people who had gathered together to drink were shocked.
Everyone knew about the change in Xuanwu Sect.
That night, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the entire Chang 'an City was shaken.
The streets of Xuanwu and Vermilion Bird were blocked by soldiers and horses. The commoners could only hide in their homes.
Fortunately, it was only a change of power in the upper echelons of the empire, and the people were not involved.
However, it was the people who had massacred the former Crown Prince and experienced a complete change of blood. Chang 'an City must have suffered a great loss.
As for the exact number of casualties, the imperial court did not inform everyone.
Now that they heard about the change in Black Tortoise Sect, how could they not be shocked?
After the shock, he did not believe it.
Now that the 200,000-strong Turkic army was about to arrive at the city, which force in Chang 'an would launch a coup?
The King of Zhao, Li Yuanjing? King of Lu, Li Yuanchang? Li Jing, Duke of Wei? Powerful minister Zhangsun Wuji?
These people didn't seem like it. Now that they had a mutiny, it was simply killing each other and bringing about their own destruction.
Chang 'an Fortress was not broken through from the outside, but from the inside.
In the tavern, everyone was worried.
At this moment, a customer sitting by the window looked at everyone with disdain and said,"You don't even know? Last night, it was that blood-red-clothed swordsman who had committed a crime of disrespect in the Imperial Palace. In a fit of anger, the Emperor had mobilized 20,000 imperial soldiers to encircle and suppress him. However, he had not expected that he would charge out of the Vermilion Bird Gate and leave.”
Even 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers couldn't encircle and suppress him?
And he even swaggered away?
Everyone scoffed. This person was really full of nonsense.
"Last night, the blood-red-clothed swordsman went to Xuanwu Long Street. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!”
Seeing that everyone did not believe him, the customer became anxious. He had seen the swordsman in blood-red clothes come out of the Vermilion Bird Gate last night.
" He's just a swordsman," someone asked curiously." He can fight against a hundred at most. How can he survive in an army of ten thousand?"”
"Survive?" The customer snorted disdainfully. When this person entered the palace, he was still dressed in white. When he left the palace, he was dressed in blood-red clothes, as if he had come out of a sea of blood. How much blood do you think the Imperial Army has lost? How many do you think he can fight alone?"
This was getting more and more absurd.
According to this person, at least several thousand soldiers of the Imperial Army would have to die to dye their white robes red. But the Imperial Army was the most elite of the Imperial Palace, so how could there be such heavy casualties?
The customer looked around and lowered his voice."If you don't believe me, you can go to the north gate of Xuanwu. There are carts there that are transported to the mass grave outside the city.”
"The cart is covered with a layer of cloth. What do you think it is? They were all corpses of the Imperial Army! The imperial court was afraid of losing face, so they had to minimize the impact!”
In the tavern, a farmer suddenly said,""I can testify to this. This morning, the north gate of Xuanwu was under martial law and I was not allowed to pass by. I could see carts from afar and smell the smell of blood.”
Suddenly, someone witnessed it. The customer snorted coldly, extremely proud.
"Really?" Everyone couldn't help but ask, curious as to how he knew.
However, the customer looked at the empty bowl in front of him and someone quickly poured him a big bowl.
After the customer finished drinking, he laughed heartily and said,"A friend of mine in the Imperial Army told me about it. He saw it with his own eyes.!”
"Who is this blood-red-clothed swordsman? He was actually able to leave the Imperial Palace alive under the siege of the Imperial Army.”
"You definitely won't think of it."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Duke Xiaoyao, Zhangsun Minzhi."
Everyone was shocked.
"Bullsh * t. Young Master Zhangsun was just conferred the title of Deputy Xiaoyao yesterday. His Majesty favors him, so why would he charge out of the palace?”A brawny man from the pugilistic world had already noticed the dissatisfaction of this customer and shouted.
"If you don't believe me, we can go to the government's bulletin board and see it!”the customer said coldly.
"Let's see, who's afraid of who!"
Everyone left the tavern without hesitation and went to the north gate to look at the bulletin board. They arrived in a short while.
"It really is Duke Xiaoyao, how is this possible?"
The brawny man and the others could not believe it.
On the wooden bulletin board, there was an arrest warrant. On it was a portrait of a young man holding a sword.
On the side was written,"Hunt and Kill Order."
The court violated the law, Xiaoyao Hou Changsun Minzhi.
Those who offended their superiors were lawless.
Killing the imperial guards and fleeing for fear of punishment was the same as treason.
Now there is a reward of 100 gold for the head on his neck.
He was also awarded the title of Viscount of the Tang Dynasty, ranking from five.
If Zhangsun Minzhi was here, he would definitely return to the Imperial Palace and demand an explanation from the Tang Emperor!
My head is so cheap?
Of course, the court had deliberately blurred out the words in the arrest warrant, making the people think that Zhangsun Minzhi had only killed one or two Imperial Army soldiers.
The Great Tang Imperial Court had sealed off all news related to last night.
However, it was still discovered that the Imperial Palace was transporting the bodies of the Imperial Army in large quantities.
Last night, the number of Imperial Army casualties gradually surfaced.
......
This time, everyone finally believed what the customer said, but they were still shocked.
Soon, they got hold of the news and went to various restaurants and teahouses to spread the news.
"The blood-red-robed swordsman killed a person every ten steps and left his name for a thousand miles!”
"Duke Xiaoyao, I am furious for your sister and have killed 8,000 Imperial Army soldiers!”
The news quickly spread throughout Chang 'an and became more and more ridiculous.
The people of Chang 'an linked the order to kill and the blood-red-clothed swordsman on Xuanwu Street last night.
The identity of the blood-red-clothed swordsman had been confirmed. He was Deputy Xiaoyao's eldest son, Sun Minzhi!
The people of Chang 'an City had long heard of Zhangsun Gongzi's fame. He saved 400,000 refugees outside the city by himself. His benevolence and righteousness were unparalleled and he was a role model for the world.
Many people had seen him before, this graceful young man. In addition, he was Empress Zhangsun's younger brother, so the people had a good impression of him.
However, he never thought that such an elegant youth would actually offend the Emperor and even kill his way out of the palace.
However, the people of Chang 'an began to gossip, shaking off the sorrowful atmosphere of the Turkic soldiers.
The Emperor must have mistreated Empress Zhangsun, and the young and vigorous Imperial Brother-in-law drew his sword at the Emperor in anger.
Therefore, His Majesty mobilized the Imperial Army to capture him. He did not expect the country's brother-in-law to escape from the palace.
Slowly.
Zhangsun Minzhi fought for justice for his sister and angered the emperor of the Tang Empire. He even turned into a blood-red swordsman and wanted to kill his way out of the palace. This story spread.
This was like a legendary story.
As a result, the Chang 'an people no longer called Zhangsun Minzhi Xiaoyao Marquis or the country's brother-in-law. Instead, they called him the blood-robed swordsman.
In an instant, the name of the blood-red-clothed swordsman shook the world!
......

The theme of this book was still leaning towards the Salted Fish Kingdom. It was more about the development of science and technology, so it was not particularly heavy.
