Chapter 774: Execute the Shi clan!

Inside Xiangguo City, troops and horses were crisscrossing.

After the Qihuo Army entered the city, they first controlled the four gates and then began to head toward the palace.

Looking at the Qihuo Army's movements, the gate-guarding general roared immediately, "Without the Heavenly King's order, no one is allowed to enter the city!"

"Shi Zhi rebelled, the Heavenly King is dead. I am Lu Yan, Deputy General Battalion Commander of the Qihuo Army! By the General's order, I have come to guard the safety of the palace!"

Roaring loudly, Lu Yan rode on his warhorse, holding his long spear and speaking.

"Not allowed!"

Looking at Lu Yan under the city, the gate-guarding general still didn't open it.

And in the next second, Lu Yan slowly placed his hand on the long sword at his waist.

Although he didn't know what exactly was going on with tonight's events, Zhang Cheng, the General of the Tooth Gate, definitely had a problem, or rather, the entire Red Liang Army had a problem—they had rebelled!

And Shi Zhi rebelling, even if Lu Yan didn't understand this history, he could guess that the other party didn't have the guts!

Now the hunting camp was already a mess, and he had to control the palace as soon as possible, otherwise, if the opportunity was lost, it was uncertain who would dominate.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan's eyes gradually became cold.

After he came to this Five Barbarians chaotic world, it could be said that his entire perception was overturned.

The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust of the past didn't exist here at all; what accompanied his survival was only cruel slaughter and countless enemies!

Living from an ant-like existence to the present, what he relied on was striking first to gain the advantage, while striking later meant suffering; therefore, no one could stop him!

"Clang!"

The long sword was drawn, and Lu Yan roared immediately, "Qihuo Army, listen to the order, attack the city!"

"Attack!"

With long spears forward, the Qihuo Army acted immediately following the order.

Looking at the Qihuo Army beginning to act, the gate-guarding general roared, "Lu Yan, how dare you rebel?"

"My action is to guard the imperial palace. You traitor, how dare you stop me!"

Roaring loudly, Lu Yan drew the long bow from his back and aimed at the gate-guarding general.

"Clatter!"

The long arrow pierced the night sky, immediately piercing the other party's face, and he fell from the city wall.

Looking at this scene, Lu Yan roared immediately, "Kill!"

"Kill!"

Looking at Lu Yan's actions, the Qihuo Army behind him became even more agitated.

The Battle of the Imperial Palace began, and Ran Min also arrived urgently at Shi Xuan's mansion.

Looking at Ran Min who had arrived in armor, Shi Xuan was surprised and said, "Shi Min, what are you doing here? What is the situation outside?"

"Pfft!"

Drawing his sword to pierce through Shi Xuan's chest, Ran Min didn't have any extra nonsense, but directly beheaded him.

And looking at Ran Min's actions, the concubines around were scared into screaming.

"Kill!"

Gripping the blood-stained precious sword, Ran Min knew that he had no way back.

Ever since he heard the news of the Red Liang Army "suppressing the rebellion" in the hunting camp, he knew he had been pushed to the forefront by Zhang Cheng!

But along with the emotional fluctuation, a sense of heroism surged in Ran Min's heart—the entire Later Zhao, who could stop him?

"General, Deputy General Lu has already taken the palace!"

Walking quickly to Ran Min's side, the Qihuo Army messenger spoke up.

"Good!"

Laughing loudly, Ran Min led his troops to the palace immediately.

And inside the palace at this moment, flames were constantly burning.

Looking at the people fleeing everywhere, Lu Yan looked at everything coldly, his eyes flickering as he said, "Execute everyone of the Shi clan, leave none!"

"Kill!" Waving their sharp blades, the Qihuo Army constantly searched for the Shi clan members who were fleeing.

And just as a child was dragged out, Lu Yan recognized him immediately—this was Shi Hu's youngest son, Shi Shi.

"Don't be afraid!"

Looking at Shi Shi before him, cold light flickered in Lu Yan's eyes; he wasn't sure if he should kill him!

And just then, Ran Min arrived with people.

When he saw Shi Shi, a smile appeared in his eyes as he said, "Not bad, Lu Yan!"

"General's praise!"

Looking at Ran Min, Lu Yan turned his head and asked, "Kill?"

"No, this child is still useful!"

Looking at Shi Shi before him, Ran Min suddenly thought of something and laughed immediately.

And in the following time, Ran Min suddenly thought of something and said, "Where is Zhang Chai?"

"Haven't seen this person, what's wrong, General?"

!

Hearing Ran Min say this, Lu Yan was confused.

"Liu Yao's daughter was sent by this person, do you understand?"

Looking at Lu Yan beside him, Ran Min's words woke him up.

"Yes, General, this subordinate understands!"

Looking at Ran Min, Lu Yan immediately knew what to do—that was to cut off all the foreign relative forces of the "little Emperor."

Even Zhang Chai, who had no relationship, could not be left!

That night, the entire Xiangguo City became chaotic. The Qihuo Army began to purge dissidents in the city.

At dawn, there were residual bloodstains on the blue bricks in the city.

However, the officials still braced themselves to attend the morning court; after all, they didn't know who had won or lost at all.

And after everyone arrived at the court, they saw that important people like Yao Gezhong, Ma Qiu, and Shi Zhi were all missing, and they immediately understood that a very serious "coup" had occurred yesterday!

Sitting on the throne uneasily, the less than three-year-old Shi Shi was full of panic; it was truly a case of a young master and a suspicious country!

But just then, Ran Min said, "Last night, there was a rebellion in the hunting camp. Shi Zhi killed the Heavenly King, Crown Prince Shi Xuan, Yao Gezhong, Ma Qiu, and other pillars of the state. Fortunately, the Red Liang Army fought hard to resist, and the Qihuo Army supported, only then was Shi Zhi executed..."

Saying this, Ran Min threw Shi Zhi's head onto the court, and everyone's faces showed solemnity.

Because Ran Min said this, could they believe it?

After all, the people ranked before Ran Min had all been killed by him!

The current Shi clan, except for Shi Zun, Shi Kun, and other generals who were outside, the entire Xiangguo was already under his control.

And beside him was Zhang Cheng of the Red Liang Army, who was eyeing him covetously!

"Now, I intend to follow the Heavenly King's order and establish Shi Shi as the Heavenly King. Do you have any opinions?"

Looking at the crowd below, Ran Min became serious.

"Zhang Cheng of the Red Liang Army, pays respects to the Heavenly King!"

Taking a step forward, Zhang Cheng knelt on one knee immediately and bowed.

"Pays respects to the Heavenly King!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng speak, Deng Qiang and the others of the Red Liang Army also bowed immediately.

And seeing Zhang Cheng do this, many civil officials also bowed.

A few people seeing this scene braced themselves and knelt down, because did they have a choice? No choice!

Because Lu Yan of the Qihuo Army, standing at the door, was staring at them with his hand on his waist!

After the morning court ended, Ran Min gathered the people he was familiar with, then looked at Li Nong and Zhang Cheng and said, "Now, I intend to send troops to conquer Shi Zun and Shi Kun. What do you think?"

"Cannot be anxious, must wait for Shi Zun to come and grab it himself!"

Looking at Ran Min, Zhang Cheng became serious, because they had already obtained the position improperly and must find a way to stabilize the situation, rather than rashly starting a war.

"Wait for him to come and grab it? That's not as good as striking first!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lu Yan beside him spoke coldly.

Looking at Lu Yan, Zhang Cheng asked, "We only have thirty thousand troops of the Qihuo Army and Red Liang Army, but Shi Zun and Shi Kun have the high walls of Ye City and fifteen thousand troops. How do you fight? Letting them take the initiative to leave the city is the best strategy. Rest assured, they won't be able to hold back!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lu Yan didn't speak, but stared at him coldly.

Looking at Lu Yan with disdain, Zhang Cheng continued, "Stabilizing the officials in the city is the top priority. Former Yan and Eastern Jin might not necessarily not take advantage of the fire!"

Looking at the map, Ran Min thought for a long time and said, "You are right, let's slow down! But Shi Zun and Shi Kun must find a way to take them down!"

Patting the map with his large hand, Ran Min narrowed his eyes.
