Chapter 500 The bet was right
"Exterminate the entire royal family. As for the rest, those who submit to me will live, and those who defy me will die. Pursue Yu with all your might and take his head!"
Di Beizun's expression turned somewhat gloomy and uncertain. He guessed that Xing Qiyu must have planned his escape route in advance, but in the end, he still managed to get away.
"Yes, Your Majesty! He may be able to escape, but he can't hide forever. This humble general will definitely bring him back!"
Feng Yang clasped his hands in a fist salute.
A great battle came to an end with the rising sun, but the once prosperous and beautiful capital of Dayong was left in a state of utter devastation.
The once beautiful houses were reduced to ruins, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood and flesh were scattered everywhere. The burned houses were still emitting black smoke, and the entire imperial city was in chaos. Of course, squads of soldiers began to clear the battlefield from the streets.
The army of the Great Zhou had taken control of the entire capital of the Great Yong. The Emperor of Great Yong fled in panic with tens of thousands of his remaining troops. The outcome of this battle was already decided. As long as the Northern Emperor sent a large army to continue to wipe out the forces within the Great Yong territory that refused to surrender, the entire Fengyun Continent would fall into his hands. The Fengyun Continent, which had been in turmoil for many years, finally stabilized.
Emperor Dayong only had time to take away Crown Prince Xing Yiming and his two favorite concubines, the Empress. The rest of the people were kept under control in the palace. The Northern Emperor was a ruthless person. With one order, he almost wiped out the entire palace, leaving no one to be threatened. This terrified Sikong Shu, Zhu Yuan, and the others.
Feng Yang was already used to it. When they breached the Heavenly Saint Imperial City, His Majesty had also gone on a killing spree, leaving no one alive except for Tuoba Yu, who had escaped! If it weren't for Lord Sikong, Tuoba Yu would probably be dead by now. Feng Yang knew his master's nature all too well; his methods were ruthless, and he never left any threat to himself. Tuoba Yu and Xifeng Lie were fortunate to have Lord Sikong's help.
Fortunately, the war is finally over. As long as we take the head of Yukichi and stabilize Dayong, everything will be perfect.
It's already mid-October, and in two more months it will be the end of the month. By then, His Majesty and Minister Sikong should be able to get married.
Feng Yang thought with some anticipation.
Lady Sikong is currently pregnant with His Majesty's child, but it won't be long. His Majesty's harem is currently empty, and once Lady Sikong enters the palace, she will become the esteemed Empress, the mother of the nation, and soon there will be a little prince...
Feng Yang thought it was a wonderful thing.
He smiled and was about to turn around, mount his horse, and report the situation to His Majesty the Northern Emperor when a guard suddenly came to report!
"Report—General Feng!"
"What's the matter?"
Feng Yang frowned and asked, looking at the panting guard in front of him.
"General Feng, our scouts report that Lord Sikong and Commander Tang have led their troops to pursue Emperor Dayong. Lord Sikong's troops have arrived at Canglan Mountain, intending to join forces with our army to attack Emperor Dayong from both sides. The Wing King's army and General Ji Jiucheng will lead their troops north to annihilate the remnants of Emperor Dayong."
Upon hearing this news, Feng Yang's face immediately darkened, his expression became serious, and his eyes showed some anxiety!
Lord Sikong!
Didn't His Majesty light some calming incense for her? How did she suddenly wake up, and even dare to go on a campaign? What if something happens to the dragon child in her womb?
Thinking of this, Feng Yang became anxious and hurriedly said, "Immediately send another group of men to catch up with Lord Sikong and make sure he is safe. Otherwise, you will be held responsible! I must report to His Majesty immediately!"
After Feng Yang finished speaking, the guard nodded repeatedly. Feng Yang then gave a few instructions to his deputy general and, with a solemn expression, spurred his horse and galloped towards the palace of Dayong.
Meanwhile, in front of the council hall of the Dayong Imperial City.
Emperor Beizun stood in front of the door, looking up at the magnificent and luxurious council hall inside. Behind him stood Su Yu and several fierce generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course, Sikong Shu and Zhu Yuan were also standing to the side.
"Your Majesty, all those involved have been dealt with according to Your Majesty's orders, and order has been restored in the capital. The remaining rebels in the city have all been brought under control."
After receiving reports from various departments, the strategist Fang compiled a list and reported it to Emperor Beizun.
Emperor Beizun nodded. "You all have worked hard in this battle. I will reward you according to your merits."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers shouted.
"Lord Fang, the affairs of this city are now in your hands. You must restore it to its original state."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Patriarch Sikong, General Zhu, you have made great contributions in this capture of the city, and I will reward you accordingly. As you are old officials, you are more familiar with the situation here, so I will trouble you to assist Lord Fang in restoring the city."
Emperor Beizun hesitated for a moment, then added.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Shu and Zhu Yuan quickly stepped forward, clasped their hands in greeting, and said very respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sikong Shu's back was still covered in cold sweat. He was quite old, and even he himself was finding it hard to bear the sight of the terrible battle that had just passed!
Especially after the city gate was so powerfully blasted open by Emperor Beizun, the Dayong army inside the city became lambs to the slaughter. The terror of the Emperor Beizun's army was something he had never seen before. The elite of the Liu family was wiped out in less than two hours. He heard that Liu Changyue was so heartbroken that he vomited blood and died, which was enough to show...
Xing Qiyu's power is now gone. Even if he manages to escape, he will be nothing more than a stray dog and not worth worrying about. The entire world is now in the hands of Di Beizun!
In just over a decade, thanks to this decisive, ruthless, wise and resourceful monarch, the Great Zhou Dynasty has grown rapidly, its territory has expanded continuously, and it has finally unified the world. And now this young emperor is not even thirty years old, which is enough to show how powerful he is!
Sikong Shu couldn't even imagine what would have happened if he hadn't chosen to cooperate with him in the war today; his fate would probably not have been much better than Liu Changyue's!
Fortunately, he made the right bet in the end!
I still feel scared when I think about it now!
Before Xing Qiyu took action to eliminate Xing Qitian, Di Beizun had already warned him, but he kept delaying to see how things went. Later, Da Zhou actually conquered Tian Sheng, and he breathed a sigh of relief, intending to place his bets on Di Beizun. Unexpectedly, he has now actually won!
However, Emperor Beizun was extremely dissatisfied with him because of this, and was furious!
Sikong Shu naturally understood that Emperor Beizun was doing this because of Sikong Jin. He had heard that Emperor Beizun cared a lot about Sikong Jin, and that Sikong Jin's identity as a daughter was no secret to him!
