C9 Absolute Desolation

The Imperial City's Western Flower Gate was also known as the Treasure House. As soon as Dongfang Zhongyue approached, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. His family, relatives, and his father's friends, a total of more than 800 people were killed here.

No matter how much time had passed or how many hardships he had experienced, that tragic scene could not be erased from his mind. He clearly remembered June 13, 6 years ago …

Because of his short stature, Zhong Yu could only see the rows of soldiers on horseback and the tall sheds on both sides of the Gate of Treasure Gathering.

The left side of the marquee was filled with Imperial Secret Service guards wearing flying fish clothing. In the middle of the mahogany dragon chair was a middle-aged man wearing a python robe. That middle-aged man had a thick eyebrows and a thick beard under his eyes. His aura was mighty and dignified. No one knew who he was.

A group of black-clothed Daoists were sitting in a mat on the right side of the hall. They all had one hand on their chest, their eyes were slightly closed, and their lips were moving slightly, as if they were mumbling something. Dongfang Zhongyu was confused and whispered: "What is this group of old Taoists doing?"

Lil 'White replied, "It seems like we are going to kill a lot of people today. It's hard to avoid ghosts and ghosts. The reason we called the Taoist priest here is to scare the ghosts and gods away."

"Humph!" How could there be any immortals in the sky? " "In the east, Zhong Yue said in a huff." Don't talk nonsense! " Lil 'White scolded, "Offending a god, don't you want to rest?" Zhu Di was the only one who killed people. Could it be that the gods did not care …? " As Fang Zhong was speaking, Whitey covered his mouth, "You don't want to live, just don't implicate us, okay?" Only then did Dongfang Zhongyu stop talking, but his cheeks were puffed up with anger.

At this moment, there was a loud clanging sound from the gong and the crowd immediately quietened down. Someone shouted, "Bring the prisoners!" Dongfang Zhongyue and the other two were all children, so they easily squeezed to the front of the crowd through the gaps of their thighs.

Just as he stood there, Dongfang Zhongyue saw hundreds of prisoners being escorted out of the Treasure House. The one walking in front was not tall and thin, with sharp eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, three long whiskers, and a refined temperament.

"Father!" Dongfang Zhongyu's mind buzzed; he never dreamt that this execution ground was going to kill his father! After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly rushed forward with all his might. Little White and Little Black attacked together to forcefully hold him back. At this time, Dongfang Zhongyue's mind was blank. He rushed forward like a madman, and suddenly, a large hand firmly hugged his chest.

"Let me go!" Dongfang Zhongyu struggled to grab that person's hand. He suddenly realized that it was Wu Changchun who was grabbing him. "Child, you can't go." Wu Changchun shook his head with a serious expression.

"Let go of me, I want to go save …" Wu Changchun quickly covered his mouth and whispered in his ear, "You will die even if you go. Don't you want to take revenge for your parents and family?"

Dongfang Zhongyue was startled, Wu Changchun was right! She was probably the only one who escaped from home. If she died, who would avenge her family …

At this time, two guards dragged one person to the left side of the shed. Zhong Yu recognized his father from the back, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

The powerful middle-aged man in the awning stood up and walked to the edge of the awning, saying, "The imperial edict has to be drafted by mister!" Under the awning, his father loudly replied, "If you die, you die. You can't write the usurpation edict!"

"Bastard!" The middle-aged man's face suddenly changed as he sternly asked: "Aren't you afraid of the nine familial extermination?" His father sneered and said, "You despicable traitor, a wolf's ambition. Even if you want to exterminate the Ten Clans, I will not help you!"

The middle-aged man clapped his hands and shouted, "Take one over here!" A guard below dragged a young man to the front of the shed. The middle-aged man asked, "Who are you to him?" The young man raised his head and replied, "I am Mister's nephew."

"You can persuade your uncle," the middle-aged man said coldly, "If your uncle doesn't want to write the inauguration decree, I'll kill you first!" "Insolent thief!" The young man scolded angrily, "Even if I become a ghost, I still won't let you go …!"

"Bastard!" "Kill them all!" The moment the middle-aged man said the word "kill", a guard immediately chopped down with his saber. The head of the big fighter fell to the ground with a thump. The onlookers cried out in alarm.

The middle-aged man raised his head to look outside the execution grounds before lowering his head and shouting, "Do you agree?" His father lifted his head stubbornly and said loudly, "Our family has not given in!"

"Good, you have guts!" The middle-aged man shouted, "If you don't agree, then kill him! I give you a kind of... Kill! " The soldiers on the execution grounds were ordered to start killing. The elderly, the children, the women … Slash after slash was like slashing a melon and cutting vegetables. After a short while, the execution ground was drenched in blood. The dark red blood soaked the ground and turned it into a vast ocean.

Every time he killed a middle-aged man, he would ask, "Do you want to write an edict or not?" Father's answer would always be two words, "Not writing!" Watching his loved ones being beheaded one by one, Dongfang Zhongyu's eyes were filled with blood, his teeth were clattering, and he was clenching his fists tightly.

Wu Changchun was afraid that Lu Li would make a move. One of his hands was around Lu Li's shoulders, while the other was ready to cover Wu Changchun's mouth. However, when they saw that not only did he not show any signs of fear, he did not even shed a single tear. Even the resentful expression on his face could not help but be secretly astonished.

The number of people on the execution grounds continued to increase, and fewer and fewer were still alive. The corpses that died with grievances were piled up like a mountain, and only a few of them were still alive and breathing. At this moment, the sergeant dragged Dongfang Zhongyu's uncle over. The more Dongfang Zhong saw, the more he could no longer hold back his tears, falling down like broken pearls.

His father was an official in the outside world while Dongfang Zhongyu had been in Ning Hai, his hometown, and had only moved to Nanjing three years ago. His third uncle had always been the one walking around with him, playing with him; how could he not be heartbroken when he saw that his closest friends were going to be beheaded?

When his father saw his beloved younger brother, he was also stunned. He sighed and said, "Third brother, all of them … "I am the one who implicated you in this calamity!" Second brother, if a man doesn't live in troubled times, he will die. What's the pity? " Third Uncle shook his head with a smile and said:

"Why are you crying so much, Brother?"

"After a thousand years of living with the wishful thinking, my Traveling Soul is still at home in the mountain!"

The moment this poem was said, most of the people present started crying, including the guards and soldiers who were about to be executed. The middle-aged man who was standing in front of the mat was shocked, but he still spat out a word: "Kill!"

As Third Uncle's head fell to the ground, the people outside the execution ground began to cry and the onlookers began to become restless. The security guards and soldiers drew their swords and threatened them. It took a while for the commotion to subside.

The middle-aged man once again came to the side of the hut and said, "What I do is judged by my descendants. Justice and injustice are not only determined by you." But you, because of your own stubbornness, caused the death of your friends, brothers, and parents, do you consider it righteous? Heh heh … I don't think so! "

"Swallow Snitch!" Father raised his head and shouted, "I have read the Book of Virtue since I was a child and have always believed that filial piety is only righteous! Do you dare to be righteous, like you, who turn the tables on the enemy, who maim the flesh and blood, and who commit an act of rebellion? Pui! Pui! "Bah!"

Although this speech was not much, it was extremely impassioned and full of vigor. It showed a noble spirit of a loyal official who was willing to face death with great righteousness. Some of the commoners outside the execution ground actually started clapping, regardless of life or death.

The middle-aged man once again looked outside the execution grounds and asked while gritting his teeth, "Could it be that you also don't care about your wife and children? "Do you not care about your family being extinct …?" No one noticed that a black cloud had appeared out of nowhere, slowly obscuring the sun.

At this moment, on the execution grounds, bloody corpses were piled up like a small mountain. The thick smell of blood wafted in the wind for several miles. The sky was dark and the earth was dark as rivers of blood flowed. The brutal massacre did not waver his father's will in the slightest. He raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh as he chanted:

"How can you know the reason behind the chaos that descended from the sky?

The treacherous officials were plotted against the empire.

The loyal officials were angered as they exchanged blood and tears!

So what if he sacrificed his life for his master?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Swallow Snitch! You are a traitor! You do not respect your ancestors' teachings to harm the flesh and blood of relatives, kill loyal officials, fish people, disloyal, unfilial, unjust! In the future, if you are unable to sit still and calm down, you will definitely die a horrible death … "

"Someone come!" Someone come! " The middle-aged man shouted in exasperation, "Rip his mouth for me! Cut off his tongue! Cut off his head! I want him to be extinct …! "

The guards immediately stepped forward and beheaded their mother, brother, and sister. Two soldiers grabbed their father, tore his mouth to the ear, and cut off his tongue …

Watching his loved ones fall into a pool of blood one after another, Zhong Dong's heart ached even more, and his entire body shivered uncontrollably. When the steel sword slashed at his father's neck, he let out a roar of rage due to the immense grief.

"Young Master Dongfang..." Young Master Dongfang, what's wrong with you? " "The shaking of Lei Mingsheng had awakened Dongfang Zhongyu from his painful memories." No... "Nothing." Dongfang Zhongyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Lei Mingsheng saw that Young Master Dongfang's face was deathly pale and he was in a trance. He asked worriedly, "Young Master Dongfang, are you not feeling well?" Dongfang Zhongyue concealed it and said: "I just had a headache, but it's better now. Let's hurry on our way! " After taking one last look at the brown blood stains on the ground, he urged his horse to gallop …

Half an hour later, Dongfang Zhongyu and Lei Mingsheng arrived at Feng HuiLou. During the day, Feng GuiLou looked even more magnificent, and there were two beautiful ladies standing by the door. They greeted the two of them enthusiastically as they dismounted from their horses and approached her in a flirtatious voice. Dongfang Zhongyu, if not seen, strode straight into the building.

There was a mahogany square table in the hall. The table was inlaid with three feet of white marble, which was very eye-catching. Sitting at the table was a middle-aged woman about forty years old. She immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Yo, two old men, please take a seat …" You two are unfamiliar with this place, so you don't come here often, right? "

The woman's appearance was not light, but she was quite dignified. She had taken good care of herself, and her pair of eyes were very lively. She looked at Dongfang Zhongzhong several times. Dongfang Zhongyu had never come to this kind of place before, and didn't know how to reply, so he gave Lei Mingsheng a wink.

Lei Mingsheng was a person who came in contact with all sorts of people. He smiled and said, "I have heard of your great name long ago, so I came here today to see you. May I know how to address you, mother?" "My surname is Xue and everyone who came here to play called me Auntie Xue." Auntie Xue did not laugh nor speak. "What are the names of the two old masters?"

"My surname is Lei and my brother's surname is Dongfang," Lei Mingsheng asked, "Auntie Xue, we have heard of Miss Ji Yaohua's great name for a long time, I wonder if it would be convenient for you?"

"Yo!" It's really unfortunate that the two of you came …! " Without waiting for Auntie Xue to finish, a person walked down the stairs. This person was around 22 or 23 years old. His face was pretty, and his slanted eyebrows were deep into his hair. As he looked at the man in front of him, his heart trembled …
