Chapter 734: Furious
Ni Heng was killed, and twenty Bingzhou soldiers plus five hundred civilian workers were no match for the charge of two hundred cavalrymen from the city defense camp.
In just one hour, the scene was littered with corpses and a river of blood.
And He Qingyun finally got what he wanted and obtained the confession he wanted.
Looking at the confession with Ni Heng's handprint, He Qingyun sneered and cut Ni Heng's broken arm in half with a sword.
"Pile up all the bodies at the scene and burn them!"
At He Qingyun's command, the soldiers of the city defense camp immediately carried the bodies to an open area, placed flammable materials on them, and then set them on fire.
Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky, dyeing the dark night red.
The blood flowing around and the corpses being carried in continuously reflected a scene of hell.
After doing all this, He Qingyun stayed to continue guarding the place while the others returned to Kyoto City.
The noisy scene soon became quiet, with only the blood on the ground as testimony to the tragedy that had just occurred.
Time passed quickly and it was the next morning at Mao time.
It will be dark yet.
There was still a hint of darkness in the sky, but candles were lit in the house in the backyard of the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
Chu Ning, looking refreshed, dressed neatly and smiled at Shen Wanying who was unable to get up from the bed:
"Now you know how powerful I am, right? I told you not to listen to me last night."
Shen Wanying's face suddenly turned red when she thought of Chu Ning's excessive demands last night and those postures that she never understood.
She snorted softly and turned her head away as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Chu Ning.
This scene made Chu Ning laugh out loud. He felt extremely happy. He put on his clothes and went forward to hug her from behind.
"Be good and wait for me to come back from court. I will take you out of town for fun today."
After being away for several months, of course I have to spend time with my wife when I come back.
Shen Wanying responded obediently, but still reminded her: "You just came back yesterday, and you have to go to the court today to report on this trip to the Han Dynasty. Don't delay the time."
Chu Ning laughed, reached out and touched her curvy body, then left the room with satisfaction.
When they arrived outside the mansion, Ran Ming had already prepared the war horses.
Chu Ning jumped on his horse and was about to ride towards the palace when he heard a shout from the street in the distance: "Your Highness, Prince of Chu, Your Highness, Prince of Chu!"
The guards at the door saw this as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and they all waved their spears, ready to fight.
Soon, as the man in the distance approached, everyone realized that he was actually a middle-aged man covered in blood, thin, and dressed in ordinary clothes.
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Let him come over!"
Ran Ming waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers put down their spears. The middle-aged man then staggered to Chu Ning.
Along the way, blood continued to spread along the man's feet, and the pungent smell was nauseating.
Chu Ning looked at this person and said coldly: "Who are you, why do you know me, and when will you come to see me?"
The man fell to his knees and shouted, "Your Highness, the King of Chu, I am from Bingzhou and I have seen you once from afar."
"This time, I and Lord Niheng were transporting refined salt to Kyoto City. Unexpectedly, we encountered soldiers from the city defense camp outside the city."
"This person asked you to confess that it was you who instructed you to hide the spoils, but you would rather die than obey."
"In the end, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides. Lord Ni Heng was beheaded after his arms were cut off by He Qingyun. Twenty Bingzhou soldiers and five hundred civilian workers were all slaughtered."
"Your Highness, Prince Chu, you must make the decision for us!"
The more Chu Ning listened, the gloomier his expression became.
It was not until he heard that Ni Heng's arms were cut off and his head was separated that the anger he had been suppressing suddenly exploded.
A powerful aura emanated from his body, his eyes were like an eagle, instantly turned red, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
"He! Qing! Yun!"
"good, very good, excellent!"
"How dare you touch my people? It seems that your He family is tired of living."
Chu Ning roared, "Ran Ming, gather everyone immediately. I will massacre the He family and kill He Qingyun with my own hands!"
Ran Ming was also furious at this moment.
Although Ni Heng had bullied him a lot in the past, at least he was one of his own.
But now, not only was Ni Heng killed, but he was killed in such a cruel way. Ran Ming couldn't bear it.
"All White Horse Cavalry, assemble!"
As soon as the order was given, everyone in the palace suddenly became noisy.
Such a loud noise not only alarmed Shen Wanying, but also woke up Jia Yu who was being guarded in the room in the backyard.
After putting on his clothes, Jia Yu opened the door.
But two soldiers at the door reached out to stop him: "Sir Jia, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has ordered that you cannot go anywhere."
Jia Yu frowned: "What happened outside? Why is there so much noise?"
"Lord Ni Heng was killed, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was furious and prepared to massacre the He Mansion." The soldier did not hide it.
"Where's the house?"
Jia Yu's eyes rolled and he asked, "Could it be He Qingyun, the commander of the city defense camp?"
"Master Jia knows this person?"
"When he entered the city yesterday, this person was trying to make His Royal Highness the King of Chu feel bad."
Jia Yu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You two, please inform the King of Chu that I want to see you!"
"This..." The two hesitated and did not dare to agree.
But Jia Yu explained: "Just tell them that I have a plan that can make the King of Chu come true. I believe the King of Chu will definitely come to see me!"
"Okay, I'll report to His Highness right away!"
The soldier finally chose to report it.
Sure enough, a moment later, Chu Ning appeared in front of Jia Yu with a gloomy face.
"Greetings to His Majesty the King of Chu!" Jia Yu glanced at the murderous Chu Ning, then bowed.
Chu Ning stared at him coldly and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to see me for now?"
Jia Yu smiled calmly: "Your Highness the Prince of Chu is going to kill He Qingyun with such fanfare. Firstly, it is not reasonable, and secondly, I am afraid that he cannot vent the anger in his heart."
"In fact, I know a little about the situation in the city. When I was still in Wei State, my warriors passed on the situation here to me."
"He Qingyun is the prince's man, but the prince is not in Kyoto at the moment. The one who can order this man around must be the fourth prince who is the regent."
"In fact, the Fourth Prince's purpose is very simple. He just wants to stir up a dispute between you and the Crown Prince so that he can reap the benefits in the end."
"The King of Chu is sending troops to massacre the He Mansion at this moment, which just happens to fall into the trap of the Fourth Prince. The loss outweighs the gain."
These words made Chu Ning narrow his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face: "You know a lot, but I can't watch my people being killed and do nothing."
Even though he knew that this was the Fourth Prince's evil plot, he had to kill He Qingyun!
But Jia Yu shook his head and said, "If Your Highness the Prince of Chu wants to kill He Qingyun, you should use some tricks instead of invading his house like this. Otherwise, you won't be able to explain to the King of Chu."
Chu Ning finally realized after hearing this that Jia Yu wanted to give him some advice.
He was angry just now and didn't think many things through carefully.
Now that Jia Yu said this, he calmed down.
However, why would Jia Yu, this old fox, suddenly offer advice?
With some doubt, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is your purpose?"
