Chapter 1430 Reverse Harvesting 2
You should know that all the troops stationed around the capital are under the control of these two families!
"Brother Wang... let's run!" Yuan Fu's legs were already trembling uncontrollably.
"Run?" Wang An gave a bitter laugh. He looked at the Daqian soldiers surging towards them from all directions like a tidal wave, his eyes filled with despair.
"Where to run?"
"None of us can escape today."
"Fight them!"
He let out a beastly roar and charged toward the nearest Daqian soldier!
He hadn't even taken two steps.
A cold, emotionless voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Your opponent is me."
Wang An turned around abruptly and saw a man in black armor with a resolute face who had appeared behind him without him noticing.
The man just stared at him quietly, his hawk-like eyes filled with disdain and... contempt.
"Yue... Yue Fei?!"
Wang An stared at the figure before him, his eyes wide with utter disbelief and horror.
Why is he here? !
Shouldn't he be guarding the frontier at Yumen Pass?!
"Traitors and rebels deserve to be killed by everyone." Yue Fei slowly drew the sword that had accompanied him for half his life and had drunk the blood of countless enemies.
"Today, I, the commander, will send you on your way."
The moment the words fell.
A cold, sharp blade flashed by.
Pfft——!
A huge head shot into the sky.
Wang Anna, whose body was still charging forward, suddenly collapsed to the ground.
He couldn't understand it until his death.
Why would Yue Fei, the God of War of the Great Qian Dynasty, appear in this place?
……
The battle ended quickly.
Those five thousand so-called private soldiers of the Yuan and Wang families were no match for Yue Fei and his own army, which had long since undergone a complete transformation and were now a fierce and powerful force.
Almost no resistance was organized, and any semblance of resistance was quickly annihilated.
The entire royal hunting grounds were transformed into a bloody hell.
"Your Highness," Yue Fei walked up to Lin Zhen and bowed, "everything has been cleaned up."
"Hmm." Lin Zhen nodded. He glanced at the corpses on the ground, which were already cold, and his face remained expressionless.
"Give me all the grain from the underground palace and transport it back to the capital."
A clear, cold, yet authoritative voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
It's Murong Yan.
She arrived here at some point, without anyone noticing.
Today, she is still wearing that same ultra-black phoenix descending to earth dress.
She wasn't wearing a wedding robe; her long, jet-black hair was simply tied back with a black jade phoenix hairpin.
The five-zhang-long, dark gold trail glided silently across this land stained with blood, like a black river devouring all evil.
On the hem of her skirt, a colossal phoenix woven from real gold thread, its eyes wide open in the firelight, seemed to be judging this filthy land.
"Your Majesty!" Yue Fei immediately knelt on one knee upon seeing Murong Yan.
"Get up." Murong Yan waved her hand. "General Yue, you've worked hard."
"It is my duty to share His Majesty's burdens," Yue Fei said, standing up from the ground.
"Husband, we should go back now." Murong Yan turned her head and looked at Lin Zhen.
"Yes." Lin Zhen nodded. "It's time to let those two old foxes know what despair is."
……
The next day, the morning court session.
The atmosphere inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony was exceptionally oppressive.
A faint, almost imperceptible tension lingered on everyone's face.
They knew that today would be the day that would determine the future of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and Wang Jing, the head of the Wang family, stood at the forefront of the officials.
Although their faces still retained their usual composure and calmness.
But their slightly trembling hands betrayed their inner unease.
They hadn't received any news from the hunting grounds outside the city for a whole day.
This gave them a very bad feeling.
"Your Majesty has arrived——!"
As the chief eunuch began, his sharp yet drawn-out voice rang out.
The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent instantly.
Accompanied by Lin Zhen, Murong Yan slowly walked up to the nine-story Phoenix Platform.
Today, she is dressed in full court attire.
Over her jet-black phoenix-themed dress, she wore a magnificent shawl embroidered with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.
The ultimate black and gold, illuminated by hundreds of palace lanterns in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, reflected an aura of majesty that was almost too dazzling to look directly at.
A five-zhang-long continuous trailing tail silently cascaded down from the nine-story Phoenix Terrace, like a black waterfall, completely covering the entire terrace.
On the hem of her skirt, a colossal phoenix woven from real gold thread, its eyes gleaming under the palace lanterns, looked down upon the group of ministers who would decide the fate of the empire.
"Everyone loves you, please be safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The morning court session has officially begun.
However, today, not a single one of the six ministers stepped forward to report on their work.
The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was plunged into an eerie, deathly silence.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
They knew that a storm was coming.
"Grand Tutor Yuan".
After a long while, Murong Yan's clear and cold voice slowly echoed from the Phoenix Terrace.
"Your old minister is here." Yuan Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward.
"I heard that your family has recently lost quite a bit of grain?" Murong Yan looked at him, a hint of mockery flashing in her clear, cold phoenix eyes.
"Replying to Your Majesty's words," Yuan Wei's forehead instantly broke out in a fine layer of sweat, "It is indeed...it is true."
"Oh?" Murong Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "That's really unfortunate."
"Yesterday, I found nearly 30 million bushels of unclaimed grain at the royal hunting grounds outside the city."
"I am troubled and do not know how to deal with this."
"Tell me, should I put it into the national treasury or return it to its original owner?"
boom--!
Murong Yan's words were like a bomb, powerful enough to destroy the world, that exploded throughout the Taihe Hall!
Everyone's face was filled with shock and... horror!
Hunting grounds outside the city?
Thirty million shi of grain?
All eyes instinctively turned to Yuan Wei and Wang Jing, whose faces were ashen.
They finally understood.
Why is it that the imperial granaries are like a bottomless pit, never to be filled?
It turns out that the grain they sold never left the capital.
Instead, Lin Zhen quietly transported it back to the palace.
Then, we sell it to them at a low price.
In the end, they didn't earn a single penny.
Instead, he squandered all of the nearly 20 million taels of silver he had painstakingly plundered from Jiangnan!
"puff--!"
Yuan Wei could no longer hold back, and a mouthful of blood gushed out!
He pointed to the man on the Phoenix Terrace, who had always been calm and composed, whose eyes, which were always full of wisdom and ease, were now filled with endless resentment!
"Lin Zhen! You... you're ruthless!"
"Likewise." Lin Zhen smiled, stood up from his seat, and walked to Murong Yan's side.
He looked down at the furious Yuan Wei and Wang Jing below.
Those once languid eyes now held only murderous intent.
"Someone is coming."
The sound echoed throughout the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Seize these two treacherous traitors who intend to rebel!"
