The housekeeper, Old Pang, stretched out his hand and pulled on a thread behind Jun Zhan Tian's armchair. An ear-piercing bell rang throughout the Jun Family's courtyard. Then, he silently followed behind Jun Zhan Tian, his face cold and resolute.
He had already guessed what Jun Zhan Tian was going to do next, but he would not stop him. Not only would he not stop him, he would also follow! No complaints, no regrets!
Downstairs, a wheelchair quietly sat there. Jun Wuyi sat upright on it, his two sword-like eyebrows emitting a murderous aura. Seeing his father coming down, Jun Wuyi's face was expressionless. He met his father's eyes and turned their heads, not saying a word.
At this time, there was no need to say anything.
Dozens of dark figures rushed over from all directions and stood quietly in three rows in the courtyard. They looked at Jun Zhan Tian calmly. No matter what Jun Zhan Tian wanted to do, these people would follow him until the end of time!
Amidst the layers of shadows, there were countless people gathered like ghosts, quietly waiting for orders. The Jun Family's hidden forces were mobilized without reservation …
Grandpa Jun stepped forward and spoke a few words in a low voice. Then, the hands hidden in the shadows suddenly receded like a receding tide, disappearing without a trace in an instant. It was as though the sky was filled with the stench of blood and the howling of the wind in the middle of the sky had become even more intense …
After standing silently for a while, Jun Zhan Tian faced the fresh night wind and took a deep breath. He felt as if he had inhaled a thick stench of blood, choking his lungs! Turning over, Jun Zhan Tian mounted his horse. His blood-red cloak fluttered in the night wind, fusing with the color of blood.
The rest of the people silently mounted their horses and followed him. Jun Wu Yi patted the armrests of his wheelchair, and his body soared into the air, and steadily landed on the back of a horse. He shook the reins, and followed the horse. The sound of hoofbeats gradually faded away, and eventually disappeared.
In a flash, the military headquarters was brightly lit. Jun Zhan Tian, dressed in his military uniform, sat upright in the main hall. Outside, forty drums sounded at the same time …
As the drums sounded, a continuous stream of people dressed in military uniforms, helmets and armors, galloped over! When they reached the platform, they dismounted from their horses and stood as straight as javelins!
More and more people came, but none of them said a word. They only looked at Jun Zhan Tian, who was sitting high up in the commander's seat. Their eyes were filled with incomparable fanaticism!
Old Marshal! It's been a long time … since I last beat the General Assembly Drum! Those years when the flames of war raged through the skies … how nostalgic!!
The drums stopped!
Below the stage, many generals stood solemnly. On both sides, dozens of large flags fluttered in the night wind, as if a thousand people were crying at the same time!
Jun Zhan Tian got up from his seat and walked to the stage. His sharp eyes swept across the crowd as he asked, "Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"
"We are all here! We await the Old Marshal's orders! "Hundreds of people shouted in unison.
"Alright! Let this old man do something earth-shattering tonight! "Jun Zhantian's sharp eyes emitted an unconcealable killing intent.
"Listen up, generals!"
"Here!"
"Chen Zhounan!"
"Here!"
"I order you to lead your troops and guard the west gate! Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the city! If there is any disturbance, immediately send troops to suppress it! "Jun Zhan Tian emphasized the word 'anyone'.
"Yes!"
"Jun Nianfeng!"
"Here!"
"You are in charge of the east gate!"
"Yes!"
"Zhan Tingtian!"
"Here!"
"North gate!"
"Yes!"
"Chan Linyu!"
"Here!"
"South gate!"
"The rest of you, follow me …"
A series of orders were issued. Everyone stepped forward to receive the token and turned to leave. No one asked why! These were all Jun Zhan Tian's former subordinates. They were also the backbone of the Jun Family's military. They had always followed Jun Zhan Tian's orders without any questions!
Even if it meant death!
Especially Chen Zhounan, Zhan Tingtian, Chan Linyu, and Jun Nianfeng. They were Grandpa Jun's four most capable generals! They were also unruly and iron-blooded war maniacs. They only obeyed Jun Zhan Tian's orders, regardless of whether they were right or wrong! They were also the backbone of the Jun Family's military!
One by one, the generals received their orders and left. Jun Zhan Tian's eyes grew colder and colder.
Mo Xie, your grandfather will avenge you! Anyone who has ever gone against you, anyone who is suspicious, will be buried with you tonight!
Just as the war drums started —
Late at night, in the Imperial Palace, the Emperor of Tianxiang Kingdom, Yang Huai Yu, jumped up in shock and shouted, "What is that sound?" This Emperor, who was once in the prime of his life, felt an inexplicable sense of danger! It was as if … something earth-shattering was happening.
Outside the bedchamber, a feminine voice said, "Your Majesty, it seems like … the sound of war drums."
"The sound of war drums?" The Emperor frowned and was suddenly shocked. "War drums? The Generals Gathering Drum!! "His expression changed! He got off the bed and draped a cloak over his body. Wearing only his undergarments, he quickly walked out and listened for a while. His expression gradually became solemn.
Jun Zhan Tian!
The Emperor could immediately tell that it was Jun Zhan Tian's war drums! Apart from Jun Zhan Tian's Generals Gathering Drum, there was no other sound in the capital that was as majestic and tragic as this! Only Jun Zhan Tian's war drums could display such power, enough to shake the entire Tianxiang City!
"What the hell happened today? This Emperor does not know! "The Emperor's face darkened as he slowly asked. At this moment, anything could be done, but he could not be anxious. Only by knowing what had happened could he understand why Jun Zhan Tian would beat the Generals Gathering Drum at this time! Only then could he adopt a targeted strategy to resolve the situation.
"This servant does not know." The six servants beside him knelt down at the same time, none of them able to answer.
"Investigate!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant remembers that Princess Ling Meng had requested an audience with Your Majesty two hours ago. I do not know what the matter is," a middle-aged eunuch cautiously stepped forward from behind the Emperor and replied in a feminine voice.
"Reimu? What happened to her? Reimu has always been well-behaved. If there was nothing important, she would not disturb me at this time! Why didn't she report it to me? Who dares to be so bold as to interfere in this matter! "The Emperor immediately realized that something was wrong.
"…" The eunuch stammered, unable to speak. His eyes kept drifting towards the bedroom.
"Quickly summon Reimu!"
"Yes!"
"Concubine Meng! Come out! "The Emperor roared angrily, and a beautiful woman covered in fine muslin walked out and knelt on the ground.
"Let me ask you, why did Reimu come to see me? Why did you stop me? "The Emperor's eyes were as cold as ice, without the slightest bit of warmth.
"The Princess … she said that she was assassinated, but this concubine saw that she was unharmed, and her mannerisms were the same as usual. I only knew that it was a child's mischief. Besides, Your Majesty had already fallen asleep at that time, so this concubine … did not dare to disturb you." Concubine Meng replied, trembling with fear.
"My daughter was assassinated, and you still stopped her from seeing me, her father. You actually dared to cause trouble? Hahaha … you are truly my beloved concubine. " The Emperor's tone was gentle, as if he did not take it seriously at all. However, Concubine Meng, who was kneeling on the ground, was already trembling. She knew that once the Emperor spoke in such a tone, someone's head would definitely fall to the ground!
The Emperor gently moved closer to her ear and whispered, "I think you don't have the guts to do it yourself. However, the matter that Eldest Brother promised you, is definitely not going to be fulfilled. I, will not let him do it either! "Concubine Meng immediately widened her eyes in fear, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.
"Take Concubine Meng away, banish her to the Cold Palace, and await punishment! No one is allowed to come into contact with her! "The Emperor was very calm, but he announced the fate of Concubine Meng, who was once above tens of thousands of people.
"Father!" Princess Reimu hurried over, her hair a little messy.
"Don't be anxious. What happened today? Come, tell Imperial Father everything. Tell me in detail. " The Emperor looked at his daughter and smiled benevolently, as if nothing had happened. The coldness in his eyes was subtly hidden.
