Demon Emperor

Chapter 70 Kill
Ruan Hu hesitated for a long time and prepared for a long time, but finally decided to take drastic measures against the Huang family once and for all, because hesitation would only lead to more trouble.

Either don't kill, or if you're going to kill, resolve the problem once and for all.

He first won over Chen Guang and some local powerful clans, preparing to replace Huang Hui. Now, because of the She Gongshen, he has made a final decision to uproot the Huang clan of Yan County.

Yan County.

Late at night, a group of men arrived at the outskirts of the city at breakneck speed.

A person poked their head out and shouted at the top of the city wall.

"Open the door."

Who is it?

"Don't I recognize him?"

"Why are you back?"

"The head of the family has important business and asked me to come back to see Erlang."

Below the city gate stood the steward of Huang Hui's mansion, now standing perfectly fine outside the city gate.

However, with the collar turned up high, no one could see the gold ring around his neck, making him look like a domestic animal with a rope around his neck.

His expression was actually a little unnatural at this moment. After all, he was experiencing the feeling of his head hanging in someone else's hand at any moment, about to fall to the ground. He was terrified and couldn't possibly be natural.

However, the person on the city wall didn't pay much attention, nor did he have the mindset of wartime preparedness.

This is Yan County, what could possibly happen here?
"Open the door, open the door."

"Open the door!"

In the darkness, the city gates opened.

Once the captain under Yuchi Chongwu led his men into the city, the matter was largely settled.

"Do it!"

"Take down the city gate!"

Upon seeing the city gate, Yuchi Chongwu was overjoyed and immediately spurred his horse and led his men into the city.

Yuchi Chongwu sped from Can County straight to the outskirts of Yan County. He brought few men, not enough to attack the city, and he didn't have the time to do so.

Moreover, this was a task secretly entrusted to him by His Majesty, so how could he not know the importance of this matter?

This matter is far more than just a matter concerning Yan County; it also involves the imperial court and extends to Wu County and Ling County.

He knew it better than anyone else.

If he succeeds in this matter, Huang Hui will surely die.

If that old dog Huang Hui doesn't die, how can he possibly sit in the position of governor?

"kill!"

Yuchi Chongwu led his troops into the city, and the city gates were immediately captured, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses.

As soon as Yuchi Chongwu entered the city gate, he stared intently at the trembling steward and shouted at him.

"where?"

"Near the North Gate."

"Lead the way."

"Keep an eye on him. If he makes any sudden movements, cut off his feet."

"Yes!"

There are soldiers in Yan County, about two hundred men, who are the core strength of the Huang clan.

Of course, if given some time, the other side could build up a much larger force, and those two hundred people could instantly grow to over a thousand. Not to mention that other families in the surrounding area are also more or less related to the Huang family.

All the way north.

In the darkness of night, the firelight flickered.

The government office has already appeared, and the drill grounds are connected to each other on one side.

Yuchi Chongwu took the lead, leading a large contingent of soldiers through the long street and storming into the government office.

The commotion outside was so great that it had already alerted the people and soldiers inside the government office. At this moment, the two sides met face to face and immediately began to fight.

These people were usually skilled in martial arts, but they were caught off guard and naturally did not fare well.

All I could see was...

The armored soldiers brought by Yuchi Chongwu worked in groups of several, taking turns unleashing various weapons, and were also accompanied by archers and crossbowmen.

Groups of armored soldiers charged into the government office, while the people inside fell one by one. The difference between the two sides was not only in their martial arts skills, but also in their teamwork.

This gives the impression that Yuchi Chongwu's soldiers were like a tidal wave, surging down and drowning all the rebels.

Wave after wave surged ever deeper into the government office.

The people rushing out were like the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, one after another delivering the message.

"Kneel down and surrender!"

"Those who stand will die!"

Arrows rained down, and corpses littered the ground, but nothing could stop the armored soldiers rushing in. The people inside were now in despair.

Either surrender or start running away.

When Yuchi Chongwu entered the government office, the first thing he asked was about Huang Hui's two sons.

Yuchi Chongwu: "Where is he?"

One of the soldiers knelt on one knee: "Oh no, this guy is dead."

Yuchi Chongwu didn't ask about the cause of death. He wasn't afraid of him dying, but rather that he might escape. He simply said, "He's dead, so be it. This disloyal and unjust traitor got off too easily."

Yuchi Chongwu was absolutely right when he said that; he truly believed it in his heart.

"When have the Emperor and the late Emperor ever mistreated the Huang family? How could Huang Hui betray his own people?"

"And why does the Huang family keep so many soldiers and so much armor? What are they planning to do? Are they going to rebel?"

Of course, Huang Hui's perspective is different.

My Huang clan has lived in this land of Xicheng for countless years, generation after generation.

In the darkness of night, the entire Yan County was in chaos.

Under the steward's guidance, Yuchi Chongwu led his soldiers to accurately capture, arrest, and kill people.

Everything is in order.

"Go, outside the city."

After clearing the city, they killed the two hundred captured soldiers and Huang Hui's son.

Today, the entire Yan County, its largest organized resistance force, is gone, and there is no longer any leader.

Yuchi Chongwu then led his troops straight to the farm outside the city, where the Huang clan lived.

Choose late at night.

Besides having a butler who could guide them to make precise strikes, the key was to avoid alerting the enemy.

There was no resistance here. Yuchi Chongwu led his troops to surround several exits, and the entire Huang clan was captured.

Yuchi Chongwu took one look at the estate.

This is no ordinary village; it has countless layers inside and out, with pavilions and towers hidden within.

An uninformed person might mistake it for a royal palace at first glance.

A man stepped forward with the imperial edict and announced it to the public.

"His Majesty has decreed..."

"Huang Hui plotted to rebel against the emperor..."

These local tyrants and superiors who had ruled Yan County for generations were suddenly reduced to prisoners overnight.

The person dressed in fine silk and eating delicacies was still half asleep when they saw this scene, and immediately felt as if the sky had fallen.

The Huang family lads, who used to look down on everyone, were now slumped on the ground like dead snakes.

He cried out, "I'm innocent!"
-
Yuchi Chongwu's mission was to take down the Huang family of this Yan County.

Zhou Kaigu also came along, but his mission was not only to assist Yuchi Chongwu, but also to have something else.

However, this item can only be obtained after the Huang clan has been completely subdued.

He followed them the whole way.

Enter the city gate, capture the county town, and surround the farmland.

It's like peeling away the skin layer by layer, and now we're finally about to see the fruit at the very center.

"quick!"

Where is the temple?

Zhou Kaigu didn't watch how Yuchi Chongwu manipulated those people next, nor did he bother to listen to their cries of injustice. Instead, he headed straight for a temple.

Zhou Kaigu shook his head when he saw the temple.

"Even a minor earth god has such a large temple."

"That's quite a show of power."

Actually, this Shegong Temple is half temple and half ancestral hall of the Huang clan.

Zhou Kaigu ignored all that and led his men, torches in hand, into the building.

The person next to him took out a copper key, but Zhou Kaigu didn't even look at it and had his men smash the door open.

"Boom!"

The temple gates were broken open, and figures carrying torches appeared outside.

The firelight gradually penetrated into the temple through the pushed-open door, illuminating a statue on the altar.

Right in the center of the entrance, Zhou Kaigu's sharp, eagle-like gaze was scrutinizing the statue.

"Social God!"

"Finally found you."

The statue of the local deity even bears a striking resemblance to Huang Hui.

Having found his target, Zhou Kaigu burst into laughter.

"I've been looking for you for ages!"

However, the smile looked somewhat sinister in the firelight.

And the statue of the local deity on the altar.

For some reason, he looked like he was trembling.

The weather was damp, and a few streaks of water seeped down from the top of the statue's head, like sweat from being frightened.

The henchmen under Ruan Hu's command have somehow acquired such power that they can intimidate and frighten even the gods.

A message came from the back office: it should be available around midnight on June 1st!
