At this time, Princess Loulan was choked again and was speechless.
Zhao Xiaole is so overbearing. If you say one, he will always tell you with a louder voice, but it is actually two.
Princess Loulan didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she snorted coldly and stopped talking.
When Li Lin saw this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hou, it's not that I have the ambition of others, it's just that these three princes are so powerful now, I'm afraid we may not be their opponents."
Zhao Xiaole asked back: "If there was no chance of winning, would I do these things? Don't worry, no matter how ruthless the third prince's methods are or how many private armies there are? If one of them doesn't accept it, I'll kill one of them. If two of them don't accept, I'll kill him."
Just kill two!"
"Kill until they are convinced!"
Zhao Xiaole's words were so resounding that everyone in the room felt a chill rush into their hearts.
They did not doubt Zhao Xiaole's determination at all.
I don’t even doubt Zhao Xiaole’s attitude.
But, is it not safe to face the third prince head-on now?
What if I lose?
That would be a disaster!
Even the prince will fall accordingly.
Qin Sining expressed this doubt, "Xiao Le, should we discuss this matter with the prince first?"
"After all, this matter is too big. None of us can bear this responsibility. Let the prince make the decision!"
Zhao Xiaole then said: "If you don't take action or beg for mercy, will the Third Prince let you go?"
"He has longed for the throne for a long time. Even if you don't move, the third prince will force you to do it."
"The struggle for power is natural and cruel. I believe the prince will not have any objections because she has no choice."
Zhao Xiaole has never eaten pork, and he has also seen pigs running away.
He had read some history books, and when he was drinking and bragging with his brothers, he also talked about how things were back then.
Therefore, he does not have the naive delusions of people of this generation.
He knows that this is a life-or-death arena.
The winner wins everything, the loser loses nothing.
Not even a life.
Everyone was silent.
Will the third prince let them go?
Impossible.
Once the third prince wins, he will definitely torture them in various ways.
However, everyone still could not make up their mind to start a war with the other party. Qin Sining spoke first:
"Okay, Xiaole, unless the other party attacks us first, otherwise, don't take the initiative to provoke us, okay?"
"No matter what, I have to go to the palace first to see the prince and explain the matter to her before making a decision. During this period, you must not act rashly!"
As soon as Qin Sining finished speaking, a loud noise was heard outside.
boom--!
With the sound of the explosion, the courtyard of the Hou Mansion shook several times, and everyone's expressions changed at the same time.
Zhao Xiaole glanced at the fire in the distance and smiled: "Now, do you still think the other party will relax?"
"They bring all their troubles to the Marquis Mansion!"
…
Under the orders of Du Jiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, no matter what the other party does, they must pay back double the amount.
What should we do if the capital is in chaos?
A lower-level official raised this issue.
Du Jiang smiled coldly: "Then just build another capital city!"
So, Jin Yiwei took action. In order to prepare a big gift for Zhao Xiaole, Du Jiang specially transferred a batch of gunpowder through the following channels.
The gunpowder was sent to the capital through Jin Yiwei's secret route, and then Du Jiang personally took command.
How to put gunpowder into the palace?
Du Jiang studied the map and found that there was a warehouse in front of the Hou Mansion. Not only was it not used all year round, it was also very close to the street outside.
He has an idea.
Across the street, he secretly purchased a shop in the name of someone else, and then used the name of delivery to deliver all the tools there.
Because the Hou Mansion is heavily guarded and too quiet at night.
Du Jiang asked people to make as much noise as possible during the day, and through soil work, opened a tunnel under the long street leading to the warehouse of the Hou Mansion.
With Jin Yiwei's constant digging during the day, the tunnel was quickly opened.
After that, it's easy, just hide the flammable materials and gunpowder, and then choose a good time to light them.
The third prince was also invited to the God-Adventure Platform to witness the bombing of the Marquis Mansion with his own eyes.
Sure enough, as the gunpowder was ignited by Jin Yiwei, there was a loud noise in the Hou Mansion, and the gunpowder blew up the entire warehouse.
At the same time, a large amount of flammable materials were ignited and the fire expanded rapidly.
The houses and pavilions in the Hou Mansion were all made of wood. As the temperature of the flames increased, they began to spontaneously ignite without even touching the flames.
The Hou Mansion was instantly in chaos.
Everyone rushed to put out the fire, but unfortunately, the opponent's timing was too good. With the help of the wind, the fire was almost difficult to extinguish!
Not long after, almost half of the prince's mansion was set on fire.
On the altar, the third prince looked at the firelight below, laughing so hard that he kept beating his chest and feet!
He finally got rid of this bad breath.
Wang Yuan beside him also immediately added a few flattery words from time to time.
It made the third prince laugh again.
And this is just the beginning.
After the Jin Yiwei bombed the Hou Mansion, they began to arrest people from the prince's party. Various charges were placed on these people.
Regardless of whether the evidence is true or false, they will be directly arrested and imprisoned.
It is said that he was imprisoned, and he was probably dragged to death by Jin Yiwei's horse, or trampled to death on the way.
Or maybe they disliked the prisoner for talking too much or crying too loudly, so they killed him on the spot and set fire to destroy the corpse to eliminate traces!
There was complete chaos in the capital.
Behind Jin Yiwei's domineering appearance, there seemed to be four words written on his face, "If you don't accept it, fight!"
It's obvious that they want to rebel.
Moreover, they also used a legitimate reason to set up a legitimate banner for their actions!
The officials of the prince's party could only hide in various directions, and some did not dare to go out at all. They could only get a moment of respite under the protection of soldiers from the Ministry of War.
However, there are too many people who need to be protected, and it is impossible for the Ministry of War to protect everyone. Even the Jinyi Guards have had many conflicts with the Ministry of War.
If they see a single soldier or a small team, the Jin Yiwei will kill them all.
The body was sent directly out of the city in a carriage.
For this reason, many witnesses, that is, civilians, were also implicated to a certain extent. In order to kill people and silence them, many families were massacred by the Jin Yiwei.
If someone were walking on the streets of Beijing today, they would probably not be able to recognize where this blood-stained street is.
It was clearly broad daylight, but why was it covered with dark clouds, a gloomy wind blowing, and all the people staying behind closed doors, like a ghost town?
When Qin Sining told the prince all the news and apologized for Zhao Xiaole, the prince just sighed and smiled at her:
"Si Ning, what Xiaole said is right, what he did is right, let him go ahead and do it, because we have no way to retreat!"
