Inside the Heavenly King's Residence, the family members didn't know what was going on outside at first. When the dust settled and Zhou Zhao was captured and taken away, they found out that the fight outside the Heavenly King's Residence was to capture Marshal Wei Lu, Zhou Zhao. Many people were shocked.
It wasn't the first time they saw Marshal Wei Lu, who was usually such an imposing figure. Even if he frequently went in and out of the Heavenly King's Residence, he was only subservient in front of His Highness and His Consort. He probably wouldn't even look at anyone else. Now that he was captured, he was in such a sorry state.
To these people, who usually only knew that Wang Ye had a high position of power, but did not know how high his position was, today was an eye-opener. A dignified marshal's fortune and misfortune depended on a single thought of Wang Ye. Just thinking about it made them feel frightened, and their fear of Wang Ye increased.
Guang Jun 'an, who was standing on the rooftop and watching, saw Zhou Zhao being dragged away just like that. He couldn't help but think, if he inherited the throne, would he dare to do this to a marshal? After thinking about it, he came to a conclusion. He probably wouldn't dare to do it because he couldn't control Zhou Zhao's subordinates. One mishap could cause chaos in the Western Army and his throne to be in danger. He didn't have his father's influence and power in the Western Army. For example, if the other two marshals forced him to abdicate during the chaos, what would he do? And it was definitely possible. Who didn't want to sit on the throne? But the other two marshals definitely wouldn't dare to force his father to abdicate.
He thought about it and found a reason to comfort himself. He was still inexperienced and hadn't established any connections or power in the Western Army. What he didn't dare to do now didn't mean he wouldn't be able to do it in the future.
"Rebuild the land, make sure it's better than before." Gou Yue walked into the residence and gave an order to a steward. His eyes accidentally saw Guang Jun 'an on a rooftop not far away. He didn't say anything and continued to walk deeper into the residence.
"Do you like to watch a show?" Lord Guang's voice suddenly reverberated in the air above the Heavenly King's Residence.
Once the voice came out, the people standing on the rooftops all jumped down in fear and quickly hid themselves.
Lord Guang put down the wine cup in his hand and stood up with his hands behind his back. He slowly walked to the railing and looked into the distance. The sound of the zither was faint in the attic.
Just as he was attacking Zhou Zhao, outside the Zhou Manor, Star Lord Tian Wei, Gu Yu Cheng, led dozens of followers over. He wanted to see Young Master Zhou Aolin. The guard informed them. Zhou Aolin had been under a lot of pressure recently because of Long Xin's matter, so he didn't dare to neglect his subordinates. He personally came out to welcome them with a smile.
Gu Yu City left the guards outside and entered the Marshal's Mansion alone.
"Father has gone to the mansion. May I know why you are here, Lord Taibai Jinxing?" He went to the main hall of his house. Zhou Aolin asked enthusiastically after inviting them to tea.
Gu Yu Cheng pushed the teacup to the side and slowly stood up. Suddenly, he shouted angrily: "Zhou Aolin, do you know your crime?"
The rumbling sound enveloped the Marshal's Mansion, shocking everyone in the Marshal's Mansion. Zhou Aolin was stunned.
Outside the residence, Gu Yu City's entourage suddenly sent out a large group of men and horses, charging straight into the Marshal's Residence. A portion of them charged in, while a portion of them were blocked outside by the activated formation. At the critical moment, the army guarding the Marshal's Mansion rushed over to help. Who knew that there would be an internal conflict halfway through. Someone shouted: "Zhou Zhao has been executed by Heavenly King Guang. Subordinates, surrender and you will be spared!"
"Bullsh * t!" Someone shouted back angrily. The garrison army quickly killed each other. Only a small number of troops rushed to the Marshal's Mansion to help and fought with the troops outside the formation.
In the main hall of Zhou Aolin's residence, a large number of people suddenly rushed out. All of them had white cloth strips tied on their heads. They were like death warriors, fighting with a large number of guards of the Marshal's Mansion.
Gu Yu City, who had already changed into a suit of armor, held a sword in one hand. He dragged Zhou Aolin, who was vomiting blood, out with one hand. His entire person was filled with killing intent. It could be said that he personally went into battle as a Lord Taibai Jinxing, surrounded by four red-armored generals.
The Marshal's Mansion was already in a mess. There were sounds of killing, sorrowful cries, and tragic cries everywhere. The beautiful courtyard in the Marshal's Mansion was destroyed in an instant.
"Mother!" A young girl who was crying in fear was shivering in the middle of a few guards.
Dozens of people rushed over and scattered the guards. A long spear mercilessly pierced through the young girl's chest. Blood burst out from her chest and the young girl's cries stopped. Her teary eyes widened, and she was sent flying in an instant.
Everywhere, the living were turned into corpses and fell to the ground.
A group of guards protected a graceful woman who was in a sorry state as they retreated. The woman held a large blade in her hand and shouted: "Block! Block! Reinforcements have arrived! The Marshal will reward you handsomely! I promise you that the brave will be rewarded handsomely! "This woman was none other than Zhou Zhao's legal wife, Lan Ling.
As soon as she finished speaking, another large group of troops rushed over. Lan Ling turned around and saw Gu Yu City holding her son hostage. Her eyes widened in anger and she pointed her blade at him: "Gu Yu City, the Marshal has always treated you well. How dare you rebel!"
"What rebel? This Lord has received the Heavenly King's decree to capture the traitors. The ones who rebelled are you!" Gu Yu Cheng swung the sword in his hand and cut off Zhou Aolin's head on the spot. He ignored the blood that splattered on his body and tossed the head into the air. He shouted loudly, "Zhou Zhao has been executed by Heavenly King Guang. Everyone, surrender and you will be spared!"
"By the decree of Heavenly King Guang, Zhou Zhao has already been executed by Heavenly King Guang. Subordinates, surrender and you will be spared!"
"By the decree of Heavenly King Guang, Zhou Zhao has already been executed by Heavenly King Guang. Subordinates, surrender and you will be spared!"
Similar shouts came from both inside and outside the protective array, causing the Marshal's Mansion's troops to panic. Everyone knew that if it wasn't for Heavenly King Guang's order, Gu Yu City would not have dared to do such a thing. Even if he destroyed the Zhou Residence, he would still be courting death.
In the sky, more and more troops rushed over. Each of them had a white cloth tied around their head. Their shouts of "capture the traitors" shook the sky.
Seeing this, many of the Marshal's Mansion's troops threw down the weapons in their hands and shouted "surrender". With this, the Marshal's Mansion's troops were defeated.
Only the Marshal's Mansion's troops refused to surrender. They were all trusted subordinates. Everyone knew that they would not be spared in the future. Even if they surrendered, they would not be spared.
Rumble! The protective array was broken and a large number of troops rushed in. In an instant, the Marshal's Mansion's troops were routed.
"Kill!" Lan Ling waved her sword and personally went into battle. She killed more than ten people. However, facing the tidal wave of troops, she could only retreat.
"Madam, the situation is hopeless. As long as there's life, there's hope!" A few bodyguards stood by her side and one of them pleaded for Lan Ling to leave.
"Follow me and kill our way out!" Lan Ling waved her sword and flew into the sky. More than a hundred bodyguards followed closely behind.
However, a volley of magic breaking bows suppressed this group of people. The Marshal's Mansion's army rushed over and surrounded them. This group of people fell into the mud and couldn't escape.
In the end, the battle in the surroundings had ended. Only Lan Ling still had a few people by her side, protecting her like a cornered beast. Most of the surrounding army had stopped and were watching.
The surrounding troops opened up a path. Gu Yu Cheng walked over with his sword and shouted, "Stop!"
The surrounding troops immediately stopped and retreated. A few bodyguards covered in blood protected the battered and exhausted Lan Ling in the middle.
"Traitor!" Lan Ling pointed her sword at Gu Yu Cheng and shouted.
Gu Yu Cheng said indifferently, "Madam Zhou, why the pointless resistance. It's better to surrender. Maybe His Highness will be lenient."
"Bullshit! I am the Marshal's wife. How can I surrender to a traitor and be humiliated? " Lan Ling looked around and suddenly swiped her sword across her neck. A stream of blood spurted out. She was extremely decisive.
"Madam!" A few bodyguards cried out in pain and rushed to support Lan Ling.
The moment Lan Ling died, a group of people charged forward again and killed those guards.
