Chapter 207: Settlement of the Previous Dynasty (Subscription Request)
Xia Qingyu, with her starry eyes, looked at the indescribably huge body on the warhorse, and at the face that looked familiar.
Stunned.
That face!
How could that face look so much like my benefactor? !
Even this face has indeed changed a lot compared to the thin benefactor in Youzhou.
However, Xia Qingyu still recognized the other person at a glance.
Especially, the other person's eyes!
Still as scary as it was then!!
Xia Qingyu looked at Lu Yuan who was riding a horse towards her and was stunned for a moment.
It seemed like someone was shouting loudly, but she turned a deaf ear to it.
Until someone pulled his body violently, he lost his balance and squatted down.
She then heard clearly that it was the soldier of the Tianxing Army who was already kneeling in front of her who turned around and glared at her, shouting and cursing.
The brother next to him, who was now kneeling on the ground, kept apologizing to the pawn.
Only then did she react.
The leader of the Tianxing Army has arrived, and they all need to kneel and say words of praise.
She quickly knelt down and followed the people around her in shouting the somewhat embarrassing praises that the soldiers of the Tianxing Army had taught her.
When the Tianxing Army soldier in front saw Xia Qingyu kneeling down to praise him, he glared at him angrily before stopping.
They turned around and knelt down enthusiastically towards their emperor who was approaching.
Until I walked far into the middle of the road and into the golden sky on the horizon, it was completely out of sight.
Xia Qingyu, Xia Yuan and others who were kneeling were allowed to stand up.
After a long time, the soldiers in front dispersed the crowd gathered on the avenue.
After kneeling, the people on the street saw that the Tianxing Army soldiers did not make things difficult for them and allowed them to go home.
They all couldn't wait to return to their own houses.
The entire twenty-zhang-long avenue was soon empty except for the soldiers of the Tianxing Army who were guarding it.
All the stalls were closed, all the shops were shut, and all the mansions were locked.
Now, the Tianxing Army has entered the city and all the city gates have been blocked, so no one can escape.
They didn’t dare to think about how the Tianxing Army would treat them next.
But they dared not stay here any longer, for fear of angering these military commanders.
Xia Qingyu was pulled by Xia Yuan to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
At this time, Xia Yuan looked at his sister with a frown, as if he was worried about something.
Thinking back to the other person's sudden dazed look on the street before, I thought my sister was worried about what would happen next.
Comforting:
"Sister, the Tianxing Army is the best righteous army in the world. You and I have not served in the court, and we don't have much money.
At most they will take our house away, they won’t make things difficult for us.”
Xia Qingyu raised her head after hearing her brother's words:
"Brother, do you think the king of Tianxing Army could be our benefactor?"
Xia Yuan sneered after hearing this:
"How can it be?
How does this person's height, body, and face resemble that of a benefactor?
What's more, this man can defeat ten thousand troops alone and is stronger than the Great God of War.
Although the benefactor is powerful, he is far inferior to him in every aspect.
You don't think so just because the leader of the Tianxing Army is named Lu, do you? "
"But his eyes really look like a benefactor."
Xia Yuan was stunned after hearing this.
Then he remembered that the other person's eyes were indeed somewhat familiar.
However, he immediately shook his head:
“It’s not hard to find someone with similar eyes.
Besides, what if this person is a benefactor?
Given my brother and I's current situation, it's impossible for us to have any contact with each other.
I owe him a favor, not a favor to him, so even if we go to meet each other, what's the point?"
Xia Qingyu, after hearing Xia Yuan's words, there was a dimness in her starry eyes.
Yes!
It was her benefactor who was kind to her.
Now, the other party is the king of Tianxing Army and will soon be the new emperor. It is impossible for the two siblings to help each other.
Even if the other person is really a benefactor, once she finds him, she will never be able to repay his kindness with anything.
Thinking of this, she felt a little lost.
At Xia Yuan's gentle comfort, she nodded and followed Xia Yuan into the house.
Daqian Imperial City.
Gold foil everywhere.
There was still a lingering smell of blood.
It is a much larger palace than the Overlord's Palace and is magnificent and golden.
Lu Yuan sat upright on the dragon throne made of pure gold.
Li Qi stood beside him.
There he kept flipping through the statistical reports of property seized from various mansions by the Tianxing Army, and shouted questions at the officials who were kneeling on the ground below.
These officials are all high-ranking officials in the Daqian court.
In the past, he was able to call the shots in this imperial city and gather wealth from his subordinates with just a wave of his hand.
They are all people who, if they dodge, will cause the outside world to tremble.
Now, everyone is crying.
They had already made preparations to either distribute the wealth they had obtained or bury it deep underground.
However, no one dared to pick up the scattered property.
The treasures buried under the mansion were dug out by the Tianxing Army after digging three feet deep into the ground.
There were also reports from others seeking to gain merit, and many of their crimes were printed on the memorial that Li Qi was holding.
But they are still crying out for justice.
Even in the face of Li Qi's questioning with irrefutable evidence, he still kept making excuses.
Until Li Qi's eyes became colder and colder, he bent over and handed the folder and pen to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan didn't even look at it, he just picked up the pen and wrote a line on the entire letter.
Amid the officials' crying and shouting, the soldiers in the hall dragged them away.
Lu Yuan let out a light breath and lay back on the dragon chair like a salted fish.
In the past few days, the Tianxing Army has launched a large-scale raid on the residences of all officials in the capital.
Any money whose origin cannot be explained will be discovered.
Or reported by some people.
These officials will be escorted to the Golden Palace and questioned by Li Qi personally.
Then let Lu Yuan make the final decision.
He wasn't interested in these things.
Especially those fat and big-eared ones below, every one of them was crying and making him upset.
If he really wanted to, he would just step on them to death.
So as long as Li Qi handed him the document with the name list printed on it, he didn't even need to take a look at it.
With a single stroke, these people were sent to the west.
Today, he is sitting here reviewing memorials, and he doesn’t know how many days it has been.
He really annoyed this guy Li Qi.
Can't you just handle it yourself?
Why do I have to take this extra step?
Listening to these officials crying and begging for mercy every day, he felt that his appetite had decreased a lot.
Li Qi stood at one side and picked up a memorial paper from a long table piled with memorial papers. He then flipped through it.
At this time, footsteps were heard from outside the hall.
Lu Yuan didn't even want to look at him, just lying there like a lazy fish.
At this time, the ten great military commanders, Sun, Xu, Mo, Chen, Zhou An, Meng Yan, Song Wen, Xu Changqing, Zhou Qing and Ma Zongwei, walked in from outside the hall.
The ten men were all wearing sophisticated general armor and looked mentally abnormal.
After they came in, they all knelt down, bowed to Lu Yuan, and kowtowed to the ground, saying:
"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!!"
