Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Xunhuan came to the place where the army annihilated the enemy's cavalry battalion to check.

The place is already burnt.

Including the chariots and barricades used to besiege the enemy, they were all burned in last night's battle.

The ground was littered with charred corpses.

Horse and human debris were scattered all over the place, giving off a foul smell.

He covered his nose and watched for a while, then ordered a general, "It's already burned like this, let's burn it more thoroughly. Gather the remains and cremate them on the spot."

So the soldiers became busy again.

The enemy soldiers and the charred bodies of their horses were gathered together, and the damaged chariots were gathered together and set on fire again.

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast, the light on the ground was dim, the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and it looked like it was going to rain.

The Eastern Yan army surrounded the city again, and the catapults roared and smashed towards the top of the city wall again.

There were only more than 10,000 soldiers left on the city wall, holding up their shields and struggling to resist.

After each catapult threw hundreds of stones, the Eastern Yan infantry finally came out, carrying ladders, shouting, and coming from three directions like a tide.

At the same time as the army was charging, three people suddenly appeared outside the west city, riding on magic weapons.

There were no soldiers defending the west city wall at all.

The three of them used their magic weapons to climb up the city wall without being noticed.

After the three of them landed on the city wall, they headed straight for the south city wall, holding their magic swords.

By the time the soldiers defending the city discovered that the enemy's masters had climbed up the city wall, it was already too late.

The three men moved in as if they were in an empty space, and the soldiers had no way to resist them.

At the foot of the city wall, soldiers from Eastern Yan had already arrived with ladders. They placed the ladders on the city wall and quickly climbed up one by one.

Soon, the south gate fell, the city gate was opened, and the soldiers of Eastern Yan swarmed in.

After a while, the east city wall fell and the east gate was opened.

Seeing this, the surviving guards knew that the city could no longer be defended, so they quickly abandoned the city walls, fled inward, returned to the palace, and deployed their defenses on the palace walls.

However, at this time, the remaining soldiers were less than 10,000.

Two hours later, the entire Eastern Yan army entered the city and surrounded the palace.

At this time in the Golden Palace, King Xia Yu did not summon his ministers, but gathered the three thousand beauties from the harem here.

He asked all the eunuchs in the Jingshifang to come to the palace and gave each beauty a cup of poisoned wine.

There was crying in the hall.

Xia Yu's face was gloomy, and he roared, "You are my people in life and my ghosts in death. You will not be allowed to be defiled by the people of Dongyan. Drink up."

After the roar, some beauties became disheartened and drank the poisoned wine, then staggered to the ground.

Some beauties did not want to die, so they took advantage of the chaos and secretly poured the poisoned wine.

Xia Yu saw one and flew down from the throne, drew his sword, and stabbed the beauty who poured the poisoned wine several times.

Then, with his face covered in blood, he returned to the throne and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hah!"

"Kuacha..."

There was a loud bang, lightning flashed, and thunder rolled.

Amidst the deafening thunder, the city wall somewhere in the palace had been knocked down by the soldiers of Eastern Yan.

From the sky, raindrops as big as beans fell.

On the ground, soldiers from Eastern Yan swept into the palace like a flood.

The less than 10,000 remaining soldiers of the Imperial Guard were like ants and were quickly overwhelmed and wiped out by the army.

In the pouring rain, Lu Xunhuan entered the Golden Palace with two elders and several generals.

On the ground, three thousand beauties were lying dead in all directions.

On the throne, Xia Yu was not dead.

He held a bloody sword in his hand and watched Lu Xunhuan walk towards him step by step.

He couldn't believe it: "It's you?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled playfully, "What do you think? The Sixth Prince's son, or the son of last week's top expert."

"No," Xia Yu suddenly jumped up: "You are not allowed to insult my mother."

Lu Xunhuan drew his sword from its sheath, and a purple light flashed.

Xia Yu's arm was cut off and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.

He screamed, took a few steps back holding his broken arm, and fell to the ground.

Lu Xunhuan shouted, "Tie him up."

After the two generals came forward and tied up Xia Yu, he turned around and looked at the beauties lying dead on the ground. He was extremely angry.

Devil, tyrant.

He said, "Send the order for the soldiers to come and carry them away."

An hour later, the hall was cleaned up and the soldiers forced hundreds of people to kneel in the hall.

Leading the group were Xia Yu, the Sixth Prince, the Queen Mother, Prime Minister Zhang and others.

Lu Xun Huan said, "I will settle a few accounts with you today."

"First, who poisoned the princess? Sixth Prince, was it you?"

The Sixth Prince raised his head and said, "The remnants of the Wang Tingsi should be executed. It's a pity that I was too soft-hearted and allowed you, a scourge, to remain here."

Lu Xun Huan snorted and said, "Are you being soft-hearted? You are just using me to lure more members of the Royal Court Division to show up so that you can kill them one by one."

He turned his gaze towards the Queen Mother and said, "You killed the eldest princess because she accidentally saw the former queen and the Sixth Prince being intimate. Queen Mother, do you have anything to say?"

The Queen Mother was completely dejected. "There's nothing to say. It was indeed us who conspired to poison the Princess. That damned girl is meddling in other people's business and insisting on investigating corruption. In the Zhou Dynasty, there are countless officials, from top to bottom. Who isn't corrupt? How could she possibly investigate them all?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "You are quite straightforward. Then tell Xia Yu, is he the son of the Sixth Prince, or the son of last week's top expert?"

The Sixth Prince turned aside and asked, "What?"

The Queen Mother laughed bitterly: "Hahaha... whose son he is, I really don't know. He could be the Sixth Prince's, or the Elder's, or even Prime Minister Zhang's. Who do you think he looks like?"

The Sixth Prince was struck by lightning and cursed, "You whore, you killed me. If I had known this would happen, why would I have spared no effort to train him?"

Lu Xun Huan walked up to Prime Minister Zhang again and said, "I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Tell me who killed the princess and I'll let you return home. But if you don't, I'll kill all your clans. It's your choice."

Zhang Xiangguo nodded repeatedly: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Then he named all the people who were involved in the assassination of the eldest princess.

In addition to the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince, there were also the imperial physician, a chief guard from the Princess's residence, and the maid whom the Princess trusted the most, who usually served her tea and water.

Lu Xunhuan immediately gave the order to arrest the man.

Soon, the imperial physician, the head guard, and the maids were all brought to the main hall and made to kneel in a row.

The three confessed to what they had done.

As a result, the truth of the eldest princess’ murder case was revealed and all the real culprits were arrested.

Lu Xun Huan then added, "This is the second account this general will settle with you."

"Wei Ruhu and Wei Ying, brother and sister, are rare and talented generals in the Zhou Kingdom. If they were still here, the Zhou Kingdom wouldn't have been defeated so quickly. What crime have they committed that you want to kill them?"

He turned his gaze to Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, I'm asking you?"

Xia Yu turned her head to the side: "I asked her to enter the palace as a concubine, but she flatly refused. If she doesn't die, who will die?"

Lu Xunhuan asked again: "Is there any other reason?"

Xia Yu turned around and said, "You're awesome, you're great, okay? When the Southern Liang invaded, I didn't take any credit at all. It was you who led Wei Ying to defeat the Southern Liang people. I admit it, okay?"

The Queen Mother raised her head: "What, Yu'er, are you telling the truth?"

Xia Yu smiled sadly, "Mother, at that time, my father hadn't yet decided on a crown prince, and everyone was watching him with eagles and wolves. If I hadn't relied on that fabricated military achievement, would my father have made me the crown prince? Would you have the status you have now?"

The Queen Mother lowered her head again: "Well, I have nothing to say."

Lu Xun Huan said, "You stole military merits and deceived the late king. Wei Ying knew about this. So, when you tried to force her to marry you but failed, you became malicious and killed her and General Wei Ruhu together, right?"

Xia Yu straightened his waist and said proudly: "That's right, that bitch doesn't know what's good for her, she deserves to die."

Lu Xunhuan was extremely angry.

He shouted, "Come here, break his waist first."

Two burly soldiers came forward, held Xia Yu down, and smashed Xia Yu's waist with hammers. With a "snap", the lumbar vertebrae were broken.

With a howl, Xia Yu collapsed on the land, his lower body unable to move anymore.

The Queen Mother cried out in grief: "Yu'er..."

She kowtowed to Lu Xunhuan and said, "General Lu, please stop torturing him. Please give him a quick death, okay?"

Lu Xun Huan snorted, "Why didn't you plead for mercy for everyone when he poisoned three thousand beauties?"

He glanced at each of the kneeling people and said, "Forget it. There are still many accounts to be settled. This general will not settle them with you."

He issued an order: "These seven men, guilty of heinous crimes, shall be thrown into death row and await execution."

Zhang Xiangguo hurriedly called out, "General Lu, you told me to go back to my hometown."

Lu Xun Huan walked up to him and said, "I didn't want to settle your score. Since you refuse to accept, I will settle it again. You conspired with others to poison the princess, and you deserve the death penalty."

"Secondly, your son Zhang Buzhi has been appointed Sima of Zhongzhou. How many girls has he harmed and how many people has he murdered? Can you count them all?"

"If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. Going back to your hometown, in our place, means sending you to the underworld to be reborn."

He shouted, "Push him down."

After the soldiers dragged the seven away, Lu Xunhuan said to the dozens of ministers who were kneeling, "I don't care how much money you have embezzled in the past. Today I will spare your lives and banish you from Kyoto forever. However, if anyone dares to take a penny away, I will kill him without mercy."

He shouted, "Let him go."
