Monarch of Evernight: Be careful

bsp;The battle in the Royal Capital did not last long, and the warships hovering in the sky were the best deterrent. In order to prevent the battle cruiser captain from capsizing in the gutter like Liaocheng again, he simply named the turrets that could threaten him one by one and destroyed them all.

Wangdu's ground-to-air counterattack looked much more intense than that of Liaocheng, but in fact the effect was no different. The collapse of turrets one after another, and the earth-shattering explosions that followed, were the best shock to the defenders. Even the most stubborn people finally understand that resistance can only lead to destruction.

Most ordinary people, whether citizens or soldiers, have seen a lot of battles for throne, or at least heard a lot about them. This is a war between superior people, a struggle between princes and nobles. No matter who wins or loses, it has little to do with them. The taxes that should be paid will not be less, and the responsibilities that should be borne are all there. Only getting rich will not happen.

Every time after a turmoil over the throne, a new king ascends the throne, he will initially offer a pretentious amnesty, reduce taxes and clean up corrupt officials. Before long, the situation will return to the previous level, and even more taxes will be collected: we will have to find a way to get back the taxes that were previously reduced.

So even if the battle for the throne reaches the royal capital, the people of Zheng remain calm. Nan Ruohuai only encountered some obstacles when attacking the palace. Those were the confidants of the second prince, and he knew that surrendering would not bring any good results. Other princes also had some influence in the palace. Some resisted a little, and some saw that the situation was over and surrendered without restraint.

The entire occupation process went quite smoothly. After nightfall, the sound of gunfire and shouts of death in the capital became much quieter. Groups of forbidden troops were sent out from the military camp and spread across the royal capital to enforce the curfew. At the same time, they conducted a large-scale search for street gangsters who took the opportunity to set fire and loot during the civil war in order to restore order in the city.

Judging from this decision, Nan Ruohuai still has some ability.

At this time, people from the Nan Ruohuai faction found Qianye and asked Qianye to go to the palace for a while. Next to him, Song Lun sneered: "Are you just pretending to be King Zheng?"

The chamberlain said: "Although King Zheng has not yet ascended the throne, he is still a great king. How can he leave the palace easily? With the current war and chaos, who can afford it if something happens to him?"

Song Lun was furious and about to explode. Qianye raised his hand to stop him and said, "It's good to go over and have a look."

Since Qianye said this, Song Lun couldn't say anything and boarded the car angrily. He had chosen Nan Ruohuai, and he had always been responsible for training him. If something went wrong, Song Lun felt that the entire responsibility lay with him.

Qianye’s fleet is not large, only seven or eight vehicles. However, every vehicle was filled with mercenaries, and there was at least one mercenary general inside. After Nan Ruohuai's Imperial Guards were dispatched everywhere, Qianye consciously gathered the mercenaries to avoid conflicts.

Neutral land mercenaries are extremely vicious and will never hold back in a conflict. Qianye feels that if they take action, the imperial guards will suffer too many casualties, which will not look good on their face.

When entering the palace, nothing happened. There were guards everywhere, and the servants were busy cleaning up the traces of the battle. The entire east gate was blown down, and it was obvious that the fighting was extremely fierce at that time.

The servants are all busy, and the pile of ruins and rubble is not easy to clean up. Most of the Imperial Guard officers had witnessed with their own eyes the entire process of Qianye's killing of Imperial Advisor Liu Zhongyuan. Who would have the guts to provoke him?

Qianye's car drove into the middle gate and stopped just now. When Qianye walked into the middle gate, he saw an open space in front of him, and a sizable square appeared. At the other end of the square, above the thirty-three steps, is the meeting hall, the symbol of the center of power of the Zheng Palace.

This square in front of the palace is quite impressive. Of course, it cannot be compared with the square in front of Daqin Palace, which is only a quarter of the size. But in terms of Zheng Guo's national strength, it was already too big. This kind of venue is usually a national festival, where all the aristocratic families and civil and military officials line up. How can Zheng Guo get a quarter of the national power of Qin?

The plaque on the meeting hall is inscribed with the three characters "Qianhe Hall". The writing is straight and sharp, like a sword unsheathed. But the momentum is sufficient, but the layout seems small. The inscriptions on important places in the Qin Dynasty all emphasize righteousness and peace, with the intention of tolerating the world. Only places that are pure military peaks must pay attention to vigor. It is completely different from Zheng Guo's style, which even made the center of power tense.

Qianye stood at the middle gate for a moment, looking at the main hall and then at the square. At this moment, he saw a person coming out of the main hall and running all the way. It was Nan Ruohuai.

He ran all the way to Qianye, panting like an ox, and said with some annoyance: "These servants are all blind. Even though uncle, you are here, you didn't inform me earlier!"

After Nan Ruohuai said this, he raised his head and took a peek at Qianye's face. When he saw the expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and the bottomless eyes, he shuddered suddenly and his mind went blank. I forgot all about what I was going to say, my knees softened, and I knelt on the ground with a plop.

All the maids and maids were shocked. Some people screamed and exclaimed. Others wanted to show their loyalty and rushed over to help Nan Ruohuai regardless. However, as soon as these few mercenaries ran past the peripheral mercenaries, a cold light flashed before their eyes, and their heads flew high into the air.

These guys were so anxious to show their loyalty that they lost their lives first. The blood from the broken neck spurted out like a spring and fell like rain. Many blood spots fell on Nan Ruohuai's body and face, making him tremble. Nan Ruohuai subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his face, but when he raised his hand halfway, he put it down again and fell to the ground.

Qianye said calmly: "It's good that you still know how to be afraid."

Nan Ruohuai said in a trembling voice: "As soon as I entered the palace, I felt dizzy and couldn't think clearly. Once I was encouraged by the people around me, I... forgot who I was."

Qianye nodded and said: "If I can help you up, it will be easier to help others. As for why it is you and not your second brother or other brothers, you should think about it yourself. ."

"Yes, I will think about it carefully."

"Get up." Qianye raised his right hand slightly, and Nan Ruohuai stood up on his own. He suddenly began to tremble and turned pale.

Qianye ignored it and led everyone towards the main hall.

Nan Ruohuai followed behind, and when he crossed the threshold, a chamberlain who came up to the palace asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" This man was indoors just now and did not see the commotion outside.

"I'm fine." Nan Ruohuai said. But looking at his pale face, no one would think that he was really fine.

What Nan Ruohuai was thinking about at this moment was the moment when he killed the second prince. At that time, everyone was struggling under the Qianye Domain, and only Nan Ruohuai behaved as if nothing had happened. It's not that he has extraordinary strength, but that there is a layer of force surrounding him, which offsets the mountain-like pressure. Where did this layer of force come from? Needless to say, it was Qianye's doing.

Qianye can use the Force to protect him, and he can also use the Force to kill him. It will not be more difficult than killing a chicken.

At that time, Nan Ruohuai was so immersed in the excitement of fighting for the king that he did not notice this detail. Just now he faced Qianye's terror again, and suddenly he recalled everything that happened on the city wall.

Qianye stopped in the Qianhe Hall and carefully looked at the surrounding furnishings and arrangements. Although he has never entered the empire or seen the court, he has seen the architectural layout of the Zhao clan and the Song clan. The main residence of the Zhao clan is majestic and noble, while the main courtyard of the Song clan is quiet and luxurious, inadvertently displaying supreme luxury. Needless to say, both white and Zhang valves must have their own characteristics.

There is no need for an imperial palace, just the main residence of the four clans is enough to crush the Zheng Palace. The interior of this hall is intended to reflect luxury, but instead it has a rustic feel of extravagance and lust, which is far from the standard, not to mention that the Four Valles are truly extravagant in terms of materials and decorations. As for this palace, it actually doesn't stand up to a closer look. The various vases and ornaments piled up all look rather rough. Thinking about it, Zheng Guo would not have any truly good things, nor could he afford them.

Qianye suddenly had an idea. He wonders whether those magnificent ornaments really have such a taste for King Zheng, or are they just trying to divert attention to prevent others from noticing that they are made of ordinary materials?

After seeing the main hall, Qianye had the most intuitive impression of Zheng Guo’s strength. Thinking back to Liu Zhongyuan's comment that the empire may be big but not strong, I once again wondered where he got his confidence. Maybe I have stayed in this remote corner for a long time and my experience is limited.

Nan Ruohuai stood nearby, waiting for Qianye to see everything, and said respectfully: "I would also like to ask you to move, there is someone behind you who wants to see you."

Qianye glanced at the passage behind the palace. From the layout of the palace, that direction should be the harem, so he nodded and started to move. The expressions of several chamberlains changed greatly, and they wanted to stop him, but they didn't dare.

Nan Ruohuai glared at them and shouted: "This is my uncle, the king. How dare you stop me?"

An old chamberlain hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the harem is not an ordinary place. Uncle Wang wants to enter... Naturally, this young man dare not stop him. But those people..."

Qianye understood and said to Song Lun, Song Hui and the mercenary generals: "Wait for me here."

Song Huidao: "Are you going in alone?"

"What else?"

"Be careful." Song Hui warned earnestly.

Qianye was a little funny, "Why, in this place, can someone still harm me?"

"That's hard to say!" Song Hui's eyes widened.

Qianye shook his head and thought she was just a girl playing nonsense. He ignored her and followed Nan Ruohuai to the harem.

Song Hui snorted and bulged her mouth in anger. Next to him, Song Lun was a little strange and asked in a low voice: "Don't you know how powerful Lord Qianye is? Even if the entire forbidden army comes together, it will be useless, right? Unless they use underhanded means."

Song Hui said angrily: "What kind of poison can kill him?"

Song Lun was startled and took it as an angry remark and did not respond. He wasn't too worried at the moment. Poison is something that depends on the medium. In the current situation, poisoning tea and food is a joke, and Song Lun didn't think Zheng Guo could bring down a quasi-divine general through contact and airborne transmission. The poison comes. However, if he knew Qianye's ancient vampire physique, he would put aside all his last worries.

Seeing Qianye’s figure disappear behind the screen, Song Hui couldn’t help but grit her teeth and muttered to herself: “It’s best to be eaten until no bones are left!”

Song Lun finally understood at this time, and his expression became a little strange.

Zheng Guo's harem is also similar in style to the main hall. There is actually a small garden that uses the Force array to adjust the climate. When you walk in, you feel warm. The garden is not big, and in order not to waste space, it is filled with all kinds of flowers. Red, white, yellow and blue are piled in one place, making it very lively.

Qianye understands. He finally made a constant temperature garden. Of course, he needs to plant more varieties. As for the Weiyang Palace in Da Qin, which was an integral part of the Force Array, it was beyond the scope of what the people of Zheng could imagine.
