The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 646
(The easter egg at the end of the chapter, King Yong entered Bei'an Mansion, the showy Hu Dabiao!)
On the 22nd of the first month of the first year of Jingping, the south gate of Bei'an Prefecture was opened wide.

The elite soldiers in iron armor have taken over the city defense at this moment, and they are standing at their posts in high spirits.

These soldiers naturally belonged to Prince Yong's Mansion.

In the open space outside the city gate, the crowd knelt along both sides of the road, roughly estimated to be at least 2000 people.

Those on both sides of the road are all senior officers, at least at the level of a thousand households, and there are seven or eight commanders.

These people are all high-ranking officials of the Northern Capital, they were the first to surrender, and the soldiers under them have been properly settled, so they can leave the army and come to Fucheng to meet Zhao Yanxun.

That's right, Zhao Yanxun will be stationed in Bei'anfu City today.

Near the suspension bridge, Yan Jianzhang led several commanders to kneel, and they had been kneeling for more than ten minutes.

If it weren't for the pads tied to the knees, they might not be able to bear it when they are old.

Finally, the sound of horseshoes came to their ears again.

Everyone looked up, but they came on a scouting horse, and they should have been sent by Bei'an Prefecture.

"My lord's carriage has passed the water bridge..."

"My lord's carriage has passed the water bridge..."

The person who came announced Zhao Yanxun's location loudly, so that everyone present had a score in their hearts.

The Dian Shui bridge was only half a mile away from the Fucheng. If there were no trees in the middle, the approaching army could already be seen at the gate of the city.

About a minute after the two were together, a group of elite soldiers rushed over and stood upright along the sides of the road.

The zombies around the city had basically disappeared after cleaning up yesterday afternoon and this morning.

Through this action, the palace showed its great strength to the soldiers and civilians in the city, and made them understand that surrender is the best way out.

Of course, after all the zombies are killed, new ones will appear. In order to ensure the peace around the city today, Cui Xing'an is leading his cavalry to walk around the city and kill the small groups of zombies that appear.

Even after several hours of tranquility, Yan Jianzhang still finds it unbelievable that he can really exterminate zombies.

"Lord Luo, is this how Longyou regained his peace?"

Lauren nodded and replied, "That's right, Northland County will do the same!"

Yan Jianzhang sighed and said, "That's really great!"

At this moment, he thought of his dead relatives and friends, and thought of the hard times of the previous two years.

"My lord's carriage is here..."

After being reminded by Luo Lun, Yan Jianzhang looked up, and sure enough, he saw the official road not far away, and a large group of people was coming.

"The person riding Jia in front is His Royal Highness King Yong?" Yan Jianzhang couldn't help asking.

Lauren looked up carefully, then shook his head and said, "No... Your Highness came by car this time!"

What Luo Lun said was correct, the person riding the horse at the front was indeed not Zhao Yanxun, but Hu Dabiao, who was in command of the guards.

At this moment, Hu Dabiao, with a steel knife on his waist, wearing a brand-new iron armor, with a proud smile on his face, was at the forefront of the team riding his horse and approaching the city.

Behind him, there are more than [-] soldiers holding various flags, and behind him is a carriage guarded by heavy soldiers. Zhao Yanxun is sitting in the carriage at the moment.

At this time, he had replaced his own thickening, but was wearing a red dragon robe with a round collar, and on the small square table on his left was his black gauze crown.

He didn't have much to do when he came to Bei'anfu City today, just to meet Luo Lun and Yan Jianzhang, and the commanders of the Northern Capital Division and Qianhu would not be summoned by him.

The reason why I didn't see these commanders and Qianhu was that Zhao Yanxun planned to see them together in two days.

He has sent an order to the Imperial Army and the capitals of the Longwei Mansion that all officers from thousands of households and above will come to Bei'an Mansion to have an audience, and the time is set on the 25th of the first month.

Just thinking about this, a reminder came from outside the carriage: "My lord, there is a suspension bridge ahead!"

"Ok!"

At this moment, Hu Dabiao, who was at the front of the team, had already crossed the suspension bridge on horseback. A foot away in front of him were Luo Lun and Yan Jianzhang who had already knelt down.

"My lord said, there is no need for complicated ceremonies, just go directly to the city!" Hu Dabiao conveyed the king's order.

"Yes!"

After answering, Yan Jianzhang and Luo Lun got up and came to both sides of the road.

After that, Hu Dabiao was able to move on, and the rear team followed suit.

Still kneeling on the ground, Yan Jianzhang felt uneasy.

I originally wanted to use the grand welcome ceremony to bring the relationship with King Yong closer, but Zhao Yanxun didn't give him a chance to flatter him at all.

Hearing the sound of the wheels of the carriage approaching, Yan Jianzhang did not dare to look up.

It was the ordinary soldiers who were far away, quietly looking up one by one.

Except for Zhao Yanxun's carriage, the sound of orderly steps in the team attracted everyone's attention.

Such a well-disciplined army was something most people present had never seen before, so they were all amazed in their hearts.

Soon, Zhao Yanxun's convoy entered the city, and the troops behind also entered the city one by one.

After all the Yong troops entered the city, Yan Jianzhang yelled at everyone to stand up and return to the city one after another.

Unlike the sadness of the upper officer, the soldiers below are very happy.

The forces of all parties in Beidi County are unified, and there is no conquest against each other, and their survival is guaranteed after surrendering to the palace, so how could they be unhappy.

Only people in high positions would worry about whether such a change would affect their status.

So they were panicked and frowning.

Besides, when Zhao Yanxun entered Fucheng, his carriage stopped outside the Northern Capital.

When he got off the carriage, Luo Lun, Yan Jianzhang and Zhang Guangshi were already waiting outside.

"See Your Highness!"

After getting off the carriage, Zhao Yanxun walked up the steps with his hands behind his back, and immediately said: "Get up!"

Having a rough understanding of Zhao Yanxun's temperament, watching him walk into the gate of the capital, Luo Lun led the two of them, Yan Jianzhang, and followed them all the way in.

In fact, after entering the gate, Zhao Yanxun did not rush in, but walked casually in the yamen.

After walking about a dozen steps, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "You are a yamen, and you are very impressive!"

This remark sounded terrible to Yan Jianzhang's ears, because the current Dusi Yamen was rebuilt from Xijing Prince's Mansion.

After killing the Xijing Palace, Liu Shili not only emptied the treasury, but also directly changed the palace into a yamen, and brought his family members in to enjoy it.

The three of Laurent knew about this incident, but at the moment they dared not explain it, nor did they know how to explain it.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun said: "What? This is the Xijing Prince's Mansion, so you don't intend to explain the matter to Gu?"

Hearing this, Yan Jianzhang felt as if struck by lightning, and immediately collapsed on the ground.

"Your Highness, the occupation of Prince Xijing's Mansion was planned by Liu Shili alone, minister... minister..."

It must be a lie to say that I don't know about it, but to say that I didn't participate, but it seems that there is no silver 300 taels here...

In fact, no matter what Yan Jianzhang said at the moment, it would be difficult to make a perfect answer, all depends on Zhao Yanxun's mentality.

Different from Yan Jianzhang's panic, when Zhao Yanxun directly brought up the matter of the Xijing Palace, Luo Lun on the side was sure that Yan Jianzhang was safe.

If it wasn't for keeping him alive, then why bother to talk such nonsense, wouldn't it be easy to cut him off like Zhu Jihong did.

Of course, this is only for onlookers to think this way. As the person involved, it is a normal reaction to be frightened at the moment.

"Even if you are not the mastermind about the matter of King Xijing, you can still be regarded as an accomplice..."

Hearing this, Yan Jianzhang became even more panicked.

"I'm guilty... Your Highness please punish me!"

Right now, Yan Jianzhang can only say this, and he no longer knows how to defend himself.

There was dead silence at the scene. When Yan Jianzhang was sweating coldly, he heard Zhao Yanxun say: "The king of Xijing is dead, and people cannot be resurrected after death... You are not the mastermind after all, and I don't want to kill any more!"

"Since you are asked to lead your troops to surrender, Gu will naturally not break his promise, so you can make meritorious deeds in the name of guilt!"

To Zhao Yanxun, it doesn't matter whether King Xijing lives or dies, after all, he neither knows nor has feelings for these people.

But in Yan Jianzhang's eyes, Zhao Yanxun's willingness to forgive him for torturing and killing the clan is a great kindness

Just when Yan Jianzhang was grateful, Zhao Yanxun said in a more serious tone: "Gu is a straightforward person, and I will explain the matter to you today..."

"The past is wiped out. Now that you want to submit to the palace, you should always put the interests of the palace first... I hope you will live up to Gu's trust, and Gu will live up to Qing's sincerity!"

After hearing these heartfelt words, Yan Jianzhang's heart settled down. At least in the future, he no longer needs to be frightened, and only needs to do his errands honestly.

At this moment, Yan Jianzhang said harshly: "Your Highness Long En, I am very grateful, from now on... I will be loyal to the king, and I will die!"

Zhao Yanxun nodded and said with a smile, "I'll just take it as you're telling the truth...get up!"

The moment he stood up, Yan Jianzhang seemed to be born again.

It was also at this time that he deeply felt that King Yong's ability to manipulate people's hearts is so strong, it is no wonder that he was able to build up the foundation of King Yong's mansion in this troubled world.
