Inside the main hall of Hanguang Palace, there was a death-like silence. Everyone watched this scene with terrified eyes. Other than the light patter of blood dripping onto the bed, there was not a single sound.
Fresh blood slid down Fan Xian's clothes and sword. It followed the empress dowager's earlobe and wet half of the old woman's face, gradually seeping into her clothes.
The sword shining with a cold light rested with unusual stability and coldness on the empress dowager's neck.
This was the first time since the founding of the Qing Kingdom that an assassin had been able to kill his way into the depths of the Royal Palace and place the blade of a sword on the empress dowager's neck.
Everyone, including the eunuchs aces, was stunned. They watched as Fan Xian held the empress dowager hostage and didn't know what to do.
All of this happened too quickly. From the time the alarm sounded outside the hall to Fan Xian descending like a god of death, charging straight into the phoenix bed and controlling the empress dowager, only a few breaths had passed.
Earlier, in the side hall, Fan Xian had not crashed into the wall. Instead, he had first chosen the wooden door and exchanged a blow with the eunuch ace. He had beheaded him with one strike, successfully making the aces of the internal court turn their attention to the long corridor that led from the side hall to the main hall. However, he had crashed directly into it from behind the wall. Only in such an unexpected and dangerous manner and forcefully withstanding the attacks of four old eunuchs had he succeeded.
To be able to react so quickly and make such a decision in such a short amount of time, it had to be said that Fan Xian's actions tonight were truly valiant. Furthermore, for the people watching this scene in shock, for some reason, a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts. It was as if Fan Xian would pull back his sword at any moment and send the empress dowager to her death.
Fan Xian's expression was too calm and cold. It was as if the person under his sword was a normal person and not the empress dowager who could affect the situation of the world.
…
…
"Send an order for the guards outside to stop."
The inside of the hall was deathly silent. It served to make the wretched cries of killing outside grow louder. The Sixth Bureau swordsmen who had broken into the Palace were still fighting with the internal guards.
After Fan Xian had the empress dowager under his sword, he did not hesitate at all. He bent his right knee slightly and carefully hid his body behind the empress dowager's back. Flipping his sword around, he rested it on the empress dowager's shoulder and moved closer to the empress dowager's blood-stained face.
His words were very calm, but they carried a power that did not allow anyone to refute him. Everyone felt that if the empress dowager did not order the guards outside and the eunuch aces in the hall to stop, Fan Xian might actually take action.
However, the Empress Dowager was not an ordinary person.
When this empress dowager of the Qing Kingdom was still King Cheng, she had experienced many years of precarious days. Her personality was sincere and steady. She was not an ordinary old woman. Later on, she became the Empress and Empress Dowager for decades, living deep in the palace. She had a dignified and powerful confidence in her heart.
The empress dowager turned her face and looked coldly at Fan Xian. Her white hair was slightly messy, but her eyebrows were furrowed together. She exuded an innate prestige and said in a cold voice, "You treacherous thing! How dare you threaten me? "
Her voice was like cutting gold and breaking jade, shaking everyone in the Palace.
Fan Xian's heart trembled slightly. He had not thought that the empress dowager would be in such a wretched state. In such a dangerous situation, she would still be so unyielding. However, he knew that the empress dowager had to maintain her aura in order to obtain more benefits in the following matters.
Something even more unexpected had yet to come. There was only a slap. The empress dowager had turned her hand and slapped Fan Xian across the face.
A faint red palm print appeared on Fan Xian's face. The empress dowager did not seem to be afraid of the cold blade across her neck. Her eyes looking at Fan Xian were full of disdain and disdain. In a cold voice, she said, "Do you dare to kill me?"
Everyone in Hanguang Palace was shocked. They had not thought that the empress dowager would still dare to provoke him so forcefully while being controlled by Fan Xian's blade. Was she not afraid that Fan Xian would actually kill her? Seeing this scene, some of the nannies and serving girls fainted in fear.
The empress dowager continued to look at Fan Xian coldly and valiantly.
Fan Xian's eyes narrowed. Looking at the empress dowager's wrinkled face, he didn't say a word. He knew why this old woman was acting so valiantly. She knew that if Fan Xian wanted to control the Royal Palace, then he would not dare to kill her right now.
Furthermore, she was, after all, the empress dowager and Fan Xian's blood-related grandmother. She had predicted that Fan Xian would not act in front of so many people. Even if she was wrong, she still had to maintain her aura. Only then would she have a chance to reverse the situation.
…
…
Just as the empress dowager slapped Fan Xian with unusual forcefulness, a change suddenly occurred in Hanguang Palace. Eunuch Hou, who had been standing quietly at the side of the palace, suddenly floated up.
He floated up with unusual speed, but he did not charge toward Fan Xian and the empress dowager. Instead, he charged toward the large hole Fan Xian had made.
A strange light flashed through Fan Xian's eyes, but he did not leave the empress dowager's side. He could only watch as Eunuch Hou and a few other eunuch aces restrained a few people beside the hole.
Eunuch Hou's hand gripped the Third Prince's throat tightly.
Yi Guipin was restrained by a eunuch.
Lady Ning waved her black dagger but was also surrounded by a few eunuchs.
…
…
"Little duke, don't be too rash," Eunuch Hou said respectfully with his hand around the Third Prince's throat with his head lowered.
Fan Xian's hand held the sword with unusual steadiness. Looking at Eunuch Hou, a strange light flashed through his eyes. It was only now that he knew that this second-in-command eunuch ranked below Eunuch Yao also had such a high level of cultivation.
The current situation was that Fan Xian controlled the empress dowager while Eunuch Hou and the other eunuchs controlled the three people Fan Xian cared about.
How would the situation develop?
Everyone was waiting for Fan Xian's decision.
The empress dowager's expression was cold, but the blood that had seeped into her clothes was slightly cold. It made her fingers tremble slightly.
Fan Xian lowered his head and looked at the empress dowager's fingers. He was not silent for long. He only took a deep breath. All of the eunuch aces became alert. They didn't know what he would do next.
Fan Xian raised his face and furrowed his brows. He then raised his right hand and viciously slapped it down toward the empress dowager's old face.
…
…
A crisp slap rang out. This sound was even louder than the slap the empress dowager had given Fan Xian earlier. The empress dowager covered her face in disbelief. A trickle of blood seeped out from the corner of her lips. The old woman's teeth had probably been knocked loose.
Everyone in the Hall looked at this scene dumbfounded. It was as if this slap had not only landed on the empress dowager's face, but also on their own faces and hearts.
Who was the one Fan Xian had slapped? It was the empress dowager, the Emperor's birth mother, and Fan Xian's grandmother. Yet, Fan Xian dared to slap her.
This was a humiliation that could never be erased. Fan Xian had slapped the empress dowager. This proved that he had thrown caution to the wind. If he dared to slap you, he dared to kill you.
Fan Xian stared at the empress dowager's half-swollen face and quietly said, "Let her go. Stop. I don't want to repeat myself a second time."
… …
The empress dowager was so angry that her entire body trembled. She also felt a glimmer of coldness that came from the depths of the earth. She knew that in the end, she had still underestimated this grandson whose surname was not Li. She had underestimated his coldness and valiant state of mind.
She felt the sword on her neck tighten a little more. Perhaps it was only a moment, or perhaps a long time, but the empress dowager's gaze finally became a little desolate. She opened her mouth and said, "Do as he wishes."
"The empress dowager will call it personally. Speak louder," Fan Xian said.
The empress dowager stared angrily at Fan Xian. She had no choice but to use her old voice to call out to the outside of the Hall, "Guards, listen up. All of you stop!"
For some reason, once the empress dowager's edict came out, everyone in the Hall let out a breath. Perhaps Fan Xian's behavior had made these people too afraid. They were deathly afraid of witnessing the terrifying scene of a grandson killing his grandmother and an official killing the empress dowager.
Only Eunuch Hou, who had his hands around the Third Prince's throat, furrowed his brows slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
"It looks like Eunuch Hou wants you dead," Fan Xian said coldly to the empress dowager.
The empress dowager glanced at Eunuch Hou. The four old eunuchs furrowed their brows and took a step toward Eunuch Hou.
Eunuch Hou sighed and loosened his grip.
The Third Prince's terror had not yet settled. The wound he had been stabbed by the assassin in the afternoon began to bleed again. He quickly supported his mother and ran behind Fan Xian in a panic with Lady Ning.
Once the empress dowager's edict came out, the sounds of fighting surrounding Hanguang Palace immediately disappeared without a trace. It was clear that the swordsmen who had followed Fan Xian into the Palace had long received instructions. As long as the guards did not attack, they did not take the opportunity to counterattack.
All of the large wooden doors in Hanguang Palace were pushed open at the same time. With a creak, the entire Palace became transparent. The people inside the Hall could clearly see the tense situation outside. They could see the guards holding straight knives surrounding Hanguang Palace and the countless bodies lying on the empty ground outside the Hall.
The early autumn night wind also blew in from outside the Hall. It was cold and heavy, but it did not allow one to be calm. Following this wind, the smell of fresh blood also entered the Hall and rushed straight into everyone's noses.
Dozens of black-clothed Sixth Bureau swordsmen retreated into Hanguang Palace as quickly as possible and surrounded the eunuchs in the Hall. A few powerful old eunuchs of the internal court had no choice but to accept this sullen reality as they were shackled by the Overwatch Council's special metal fingers.
The empress dowager was in Fan Xian's hands. Fan Xian had already proven that he dared to kill the empress dowager. Under such circumstances, how could these internal court aces resist?
Even someone like Eunuch Hou, who wanted to resist, was forced by the situation and could not make too many unnecessary movements.
Fan Xian looked at his subordinates covered in wounds. His brows twitched again. With a sweep of his gaze, he knew that although the time of the attack outside Hanguang Palace was very short, there were still a dozen loyal subordinates who had died just like that.
It was impossible to break into the Royal Palace without people dying. To be able to temporarily control Hanguang Palace by paying such a small price was already an impossible mission.
Fan Xian lowered his eyes and said to the empress dowager under his sword, "You know, I won't kill you. If I only wanted to kill you, I have countless ways to make you die without even knowing how you died."
The empress dowager coughed violently and held her chest. Her neck had been scraped by Fan Xian's sword, leaving a bloody mark.
Seeing this scene, the eunuchs and serving girls loyal to the empress dowager revealed terrified expressions. They wanted to go forward and serve her, but they didn't dare to move.
The empress dowager turned her head and stared at Fan Xian with a venomous gaze. "You are the same as your mother, with wild ambitions! I want to see what you can do holed up in the Royal Palace. "
Even if Fan Xian had captured the empress dowager and controlled the Royal Palace, what should he do next? Everyone, including the black-clothed swordsmen, stared at him, waiting for his next order.
Fan Xian was waiting for news from the other three groups in the Royal Palace. He was also waiting for movement in the Royal Palace. He knew that success had not completely arrived. If things went wrong, his people would fail on the verge of success.
While he was waiting, he did not remain idle. He glanced coldly at Eunuch Hou, who was surrounded by the swordsmen.
Eunuch Hou's heart trembled. He secretly circulated his zhenqi.
Fan Xian nodded.
Eunuch Hou paled in shock. He flipped his sleeves and prepared to fight. Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw a dozen little crossbows flashing with a black light pointed at him.
Fan Xian had put a lot of effort into disguising the 200 people he had brought into the Palace because he was afraid of alerting enemies outside the Palace. It was impossible for everyone to carry crossbows. Only the dozens of people following him carried 10 hidden crossbows.
At this moment, these hidden crossbows were pointed directly at Eunuch Hou.
Eunuch Hou roared. His body suddenly rose, but he only rose a foot before his entire body became a porcupine. The 10 crossbow bolts pierced deeply into his body, sucking blood endlessly from his body.
With a thud, Eunuch Hou fell to the ground and twitched a few times. He opened his eyes, unwilling to close, and died.
Fan Xian looked at this scene coldly. Although he didn't know that Eunuch Hou was the Eldest Princess' trusted aide, intuition and the scene earlier made him wary. That was why he had suddenly acted and ordered his subordinates to suddenly shoot Eunuch Hou to death.
At such a critical moment, Fan Xian was not afraid to kill. He would rather kill wrongly than miss out.
Eunuch Hou's death startled the Palace into an uproar. The situation, which had just calmed down, became chaotic again. The guards surrounding the Palace also became nervous and moved a few steps closer in the direction of Hanguang Palace.
Fan Xian did not panic. He slowly removed the sword from the empress dowager's neck and swept his gaze across the scene. Wherever his gaze landed, no one dared to look directly at him. They all lowered their heads.
He sat down beside the empress dowager and lowered his head to circulate his Qi. Listening to the clamor in various places in the Royal Palace, he knew that the three groups must have also encountered powerful resistance. Fortunately, his sudden entry into Hanguang Palace had attracted the most eunuch aces and most of the guards in the rear palace. Jing Ge and the other two groups should have it a little easier.
It was completely silent in Hanguang Palace. Fan Xian and the empress dowager sat side by side on the bed. The grandfather and grandson were both stained with other people's blood and chilled their hearts. Such a scene of grandfather and grandson calmly sitting next to each other chilled the hearts of all who saw it.
The guards outside the Palace had not disarmed. Fan Xian did not have extra people to carry out such an important task. All of the black-clothed swordsmen had already returned to the Palace. He did not want the situation to change at all. The problem of the internal guards should be handed to him to deal with after the Great Prince dealt with the problem of the Royal Palace Guards.
He only waited. He believed in the strength of his subordinates and the Black Knights.
He didn't wait for long. A clamor suddenly arose among the internal guards outside the Palace. It seemed that something shocking had happened at the back of the camp.
Fan Xian did not rise. He said to the empress dowager beside him, "Have them make a path."
The empress dowager's white hair hung by the side of her blood-stained face. The half of her face that was not blood-stained had been swollen by Fan Xian's heavy slap. She looked unusually wretched. Listening to Fan Xian's words, she glanced outside with her listless eyes and nodded.
The head of the guards looked at the situation inside the Palace. Gritting his teeth, he opened up a gap in the encirclement.
A dozen black-clothed assassins carrying a disheveled concubine walked into Hanguang Palace.
Fan Xian looked at the number of people and his heart thumped. He knew that even more people had died in this group. After he saw the glimmer of panic in the concubine's beautiful face, he couldn't help but feel his heart jump.
The one who came was Lady Shu, the Second Prince's birth mother. Ever since the empress dowager had decreed that the Crown Prince had succeeded the throne and the Second Prince had submitted, the empress dowager had sent the Crown Prince, the empress, the Eldest Princess, and Lady Shu back to their respective Palaces to live. She only left Yi Guipin, her son, and Lady Ning in Hanguang Palace.
Fan Xian gazed at Lady Shu and smiled warmly. He patted the soft bed beside him and said, "Your Highness, please sit here."
Lady Shu had been fond of poetry and books since a young age. Her temperament was light. Usually, her relationship with Fan Xian in the Palace was considered good. Because of the Second Prince's matter, there had not been much animosity between them. She was also a taciturn person who was wise to protect herself. Fan Xian did not have much ill feelings toward her. However, in the sudden attack on the Palace tonight, she was someone he had to control.
Lady Shu had been kidnapped by assassins. She had thought she was going to die, but she had guessed who had done such a treasonous thing. Looking at Fan Xian's face, she couldn't help but feel a wave of terror rise in her heart. She couldn't even say the angry words she had prepared earlier.
She looked at the empress dowager's wretched appearance and felt a chill in her heart. She could only shrink back and sit by Fan Xian's side.
The first to be captured was Lady Shu. This was within Fan Xian's expectations. The defenses of the Eastern Palace and Guangxin Palace were second only to Hanguang Palace. They were also important places. His subordinates would not have been able to succeed so quickly.
So …
When he saw the silver-masked Jing Ge lead his subordinates into Hanguang Palace with a silent expression, his heart sank. He knew things were troublesome.
The matter was indeed troublesome. Jing Ge lowered his head and said something by Fan Xian's ear. Fan Xian's expression grew heavier and heavier. It was as if there was a giant rock weighing thousands of kilograms between his brows, making it difficult to relax.
Another subordinate reported back. It was still bad news.
Fan Xian furrowed his brows and rubbed them forcefully. It was as if he wanted to chase away the worry in his heart. A moment later, he sighed and quietly said something to the person on the bed.
"I had wanted to have a family reunion. Looks like that won't be possible."
On the bed sat the empress dowager and Lady Shu. Behind him sat Yi Guipin, Lady Ning, and the Third Prince. Most of the people of the royal family were on this bed. Fan Xian controlled the life and death of the two people beside him in the most absolute close-range, protecting the three people behind him.
The so-called family was the Emperor's family. Now that the Qing Emperor had passed away, other than the six people on the bed, there was also the Crown Prince, the empress, and the Eldest Princess in Guangxin Palace. Fan Xian unconsciously excluded the gardener because he felt that King Jing was much cleaner than everyone else in the family.
The heavy rocks between Fan Xian's brows were the three members who had not come for the family reunion.
The news Jing Ge and the other group had reported was that the Eastern Palace and Guangxin Palace were completely empty.
For some reason, the Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince seemed to have received the news ahead of time. Just a moment before Fan Xian's subordinates killed their way into the Palace, they took advantage of the dark night and fled in the direction of the Cold Palace in the north. Jing Ge and the hundreds of assassins did not catch up.
Such a violent and wanton surprise attack had not captured the most important figures.
Fan Xian's mood was unusually heavy, but his expression gradually warmed. Although he had not completely succeeded in breaking into the Palace this time, he had, after all, captured the empress dowager and Lady Shu. There was never anything perfect in this world. He knew that his luck was not good enough to use 200 people to change the course of history.
The empress dowager sitting by his side suddenly said in an old voice, "I know what you want to do. However, my edict has long been sent down."
It was clear that everything Jing Ge said next to Fan Xian's ear had landed in the empress dowager's ears. A glimmer of mockery flashed through her eyes. Looking at Fan Xian, she said, "Chengqian has left the Palace with my edict. Tomorrow, the army will enter the capital. Are you afraid?"
"My courage grows every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to slap your face until it's swollen." Fan Xian looked at the empress dowager with a slight smile. The coldness in his words made one shiver. The empress dowager's pupils constricted.
"The empress dowager can have many edicts," Fan Xian said gently to the empress dowager. "For example, the 13 city gate guards are still under your control. As long as you send down another edict to close the city gates, how will the Qin family come in?"
"I think you know that the trusted aide the Eldest Princess placed in the city gate guards was killed by someone I sent last night."
"I am helping you firmly control the nine city gates."
"Of course, my goal is to control you."
These words came out of Fan Xian's thin lips. They were particularly gentle and terrifying. The empress dowager was so angry that her entire body trembled. She glared at him but couldn't say a single word.
"Although you are already 70 or 80 years old, you are still afraid of death." Fan Xian furrowed his brows and looked at the empress dowager as if he was looking at something that annoyed him. "Thus, you will have to send down this edict."
The empress dowager coughed and glanced at Lady Ning behind her. She then turned her head to stare into Fan Xian's eyes and said, "Even if that barbarian helps you, the most you can do is control the Royal Palace. What can you do outside the Palace?"
Fan Xian stared back into her eyes and said, "I only brought 200 people into the Palace. It's not that I am confident. I left 1,700 people outside the Palace! What do you think I can do outside the Palace? "
…
…
Some distance away from Hanguang Palace, at the intersection of the rear palace and the front palace, a loud cry for killing suddenly exploded out, as well as the sound of the palace doors exploding.
Fan Xian listened quietly. He knew that the Great Prince's Imperial Army had finally arrived. His heart relaxed. He stood and ordered Jing Ge, "I hand Hanguang Palace to you. No matter who it is, if they make any strange movements, kill them."
Jing Ge accepted the order without any objection. The silver mask on his face shone with a chilling light. Everyone in the Palace looked at this person. They didn't know what his identity was for him to accept Fan Xian's seemingly rebellious order so calmly and calmly.
If it was a normal Overwatch Council official, they would probably feel some fear in their hearts.
They didn't know that this Deputy Commander of the Black Knights had once picked on the eldest son of the Qin family in the military camp. He had stayed in the Qing Kingdom's death prison for a long time and suffered countless torments. He had always been a rebellious person, which was why Fan Xian dared to hand him such a rebellious matter.
At this moment, Lady Ning suddenly lowered her head and said, "Let me borrow your dagger for a while."
Fan Xian glanced at her and smiled. He knew that Lady Ning was afraid that if something truly went wrong, Jing Ge wouldn't dare to act against the empress dowager. She, the Dongyi female prisoner of war and the child in her belly who had almost been killed by the empress dowager, had been waiting for this opportunity with a fierce and hot-blooded nature.
Fan Xian nodded at her and then walked toward the darkness outside Hanguang Palace. He was going to Guangxin Palace and the Eastern Palace to investigate. He kept feeling that this matter revealed a very strange message.
With a clang, he slid the blood-stained sword back into the sword case on his back and walked down the stone steps of Hanguang Palace. The trusted aides of the Qinian Unit who had followed him into the Palace followed three steps behind him and also walked down the stone steps.
Everyone inside and outside the Palace watched him. They didn't know where he was going at such a critical moment.
Leading a few subordinates, he calmly walked out of the Palace. He walked past the internal guards holding weapons pointed at him as if they were facing great chaos. He didn't even blink.
The guards did not dare make a move. They could only watch as he disappeared into the black clothes outside Hanguang Palace. Although the empress dowager was in the Palace, Fan Xian's calmness and bravery shocked the hearts of many people.
… …
Fan Xian did not purposely suppress the empress dowager's arrogance. The words he said earlier were not false. When he and Yan Bingyun had made the plan in the boudoir of Lady Sun Pin 'er of the Jingdou government, he had already calculated how much power he could contact.
The secret agents the Overwatch Council could move in the capital, the spies hidden in various manors, and the First Bureau Fan Xian controlled could still move 1,400 people, even excluding the square building monitored by the internal court and the military.
Through the Jingdou government, the 500 Black Knights hidden outside Jingdou entered the capital in disguise. Thus, the power Fan Xian could use reached 1,900 people. Furthermore, these 1,900 people were all skilled in working in the dark. Although they were far from a match for the military in terms of martial power, they were a handy weapon when it came to plotting and rebellion.
Fan Xian only brought 200 people into the Palace tonight. It was not that he was arrogant. For a sudden attack like this, which focused on speed and surprise, the number of people was never the key. Furthermore, he had to leave a large portion of his power outside the Palace. The remaining 1,700 people were doing all kinds of work under Yan Bingyun's orders.
Jingdou was too big. Fan Xian had to take care of too many things. He handled the outside of the Palace himself. Inside the Palace, he had to rely on the thousands of imperial soldiers to control the situation. When the cries of killing came from the rear palace, he knew that the Great Prince had already taken control of the imperial army.
…
…
The Imperial Army's actions were just as the Great Prince had said to his trusted officer. The timing of their attack depended on the progress of Fan Xian's advance into the Palace.
When Fan Xian's brave subordinate stopped his steps in the encirclement of guards and sent out the signal arrow toward the night sky and bright moon, the Imperial Army moved.
The signal arrow was bright. In an instant, it lit up half of the Royal Palace. This kind of signal arrow used to send messages was not the kind the Jingdou garrison and Overwatch Council often used, but it already gave a clear signal.
The Great Prince stood beside the city-guarding crossbow and looked at the signal arrow slicing through the night sky. The lines on his face suddenly hardened. Raising his right hand, he chopped down like a knife.
It chopped down into the empty night wind at the corner tower of the Royal Palace.
…
…
A knife chopped down and directly cut the necks of two soldiers on the bed at the same time. Fresh blood sprayed onto the wall with a splash. Unusually bloody, the attack created two large flowers of blood.
The knife-wielding imperial army general who attacked in the night pulled back his long knife and roared, "Kill!"
In the dark night, countless people surged into the streets beside the square in front of the Royal Palace. Silently, they entered the large rooms and began a bloody massacre.
A total of six hundred Imperial Army soldiers who had been switched to rest were still asleep. Many of them had lost their lives just like that. Some of them had been startled awake, but before they could react, they were greeted with merciless sabers and spears.
Those who killed and those who were killed were all fellow soldiers. If this was a different time and place, perhaps they would fight shoulder to shoulder with the Hu people. Drinking hot knives and rubbing their shiny knives, they would bravely kill their way into the enemy camp, blocking arrows and knives for each other.
However, tonight was not like that. It was only one side facing the other, an unusually merciless massacre.
Before long, the 2,000 imperial soldiers loyal to the Great Prince had cleaned up a large area in front of the Royal Palace. Countless corpses and fresh blood mixed together. The stench of blood rose to the sky.
The expressions of the imperial soldiers were not good. They were usually part of the Western Expedition Army. This was the first time they had killed their own people. However, they also knew that these people were not on their side. What they had done tonight did not allow them to show the slightest bit of weakness.
They had seen the royal seal sent by the commander and the Emperor's posthumous edict, so they had hot blood and faith in their hearts.
We are on the side of justice.
Right now, they were still alive. Who could say otherwise?
…
