Chapter 932 Revenge
Jin Zhun took a last look at the soldiers lined up in front of the armory.

There were more than 3,300 men in total, all of them strong and powerful men. At this moment, they put on brand new armor, holding lances, swords, shields, and strong bows. A murderous aura was overwhelming.

At the beginning, Liu Can ordered all tribes to select strong and capable men to come to Chang'an. Many tribes either did not come or just randomly selected some people to make up the numbers, but no one expected that Jin Zhun selected more than 3,000 of the most elite men.

These people have been trained for many years and have followed him on the western expedition to Qinzhou, so they have rich combat experience.

The last battle was half a year ago. They attacked from Anding and plundered the area around Beiyi Mountain. They beheaded more than 2,000 people and captured tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and people. They returned with a great victory.

In order to conceal their whereabouts, they left their armor and other equipment in the tribe. When they came here, their equipment was very shabby, similar to that of most people, so they did not attract much attention.

Now that I have obtained the sophisticated equipment in the palace armory, the feeling has changed all of a sudden.

Jin Zhun was also very satisfied. With the help of his personal soldiers, he put on his armor, tried the bow at his waist, waved his hand, and said, "Kill the Tuge thieves."

The first group of soldiers came out with swords, shields and bows in hand, followed by the second group, the third group...

The large group of people headed north and soon arrived at Zhonghua Gate.

There were more than ten soldiers outside the door. When they saw the army, they immediately opened the door.

There were also dozens of people on the city wall. They did not make any movement, but just held torches and silently watched the private soldiers of Jin's army entering one after another.

After passing Zhonghua Gate, there is a place called "Dianzhong", which is a relatively independent area in the palace.

There are walls on three sides, with Zhonghua Gate to the south, West Zhonghua Gate to the west, and East Zhonghua Gate to the east. To the north is the palace complex, which is a front-court-back bedroom model, with Taiji Hall in the front and Jianzhang Hall in the back. There are also some lakes, gardens and ancillary buildings on both sides (where Liu Can's close ministers worked).

After the army swarmed in, several military academies immediately received orders to lead one or two hundred people each and distribute them to various locations.

Jin Zhun continued to move forward.

Inquiries gradually arose from the government offices on both sides.

In a moment, the voice turned into questioning, scolding and even cursing.

Screams followed.

The Jin army's private soldiers didn't say a word, they just chopped people silently. The order they received was that if there were no officers and soldiers to protect them, they would kill anyone they saw, and not spare a single one.

Many officials who worked all night lived in the government offices. Some were calculating and allocating food and grass, some were discussing how to redivide the defense areas, and some were discussing how to send people to break out of the siege and urge the troops to come to the rescue...

When they heard the shouting and screaming outside, they subconsciously stopped and looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. Some of them who had rich associations turned pale, wondering if the Jin army had entered the city.

"Bang!" Several doors were pushed open at the same time.

More than ten archers rushed in from outside, and without a word, they each found someone and drew their bow and arrow.

"Ah!" A scream rang out immediately.

The powerful arrows easily penetrated the bodies of these officials and nailed them to the ground.

After the archers, more than twenty sword and shield men rushed in and started slashing with their swords.

Everyone in the office was running around in panic, but in such a small place, where could they run to? When the last person opened the window and half of his body was just out of the window, he was shot dead by an arrow. Dozens of officials had been killed.

The rest of the scenes are roughly similar.

The ancillary buildings on both sides of the Taiji and Jianzhang Halls, as well as those in front and behind, were filled with blood and the dead were lying side by side. Only a dozen or so people were lucky enough to have fled to the gardens and escaped the fate of being killed by swords and axes.

Jin Zhun has already entered the Taiji Hall.

He slowed down his pace and looked coldly at this place where the emperor was holding court.

The soldiers of the Jin family stood in every corner of the Taiji Hall. Several eunuchs were pulled out and killed with swords.

A group of warriors armed with spears from the palace were staying nearby. They rushed over upon hearing the news and were soon surrounded by Jin's soldiers.

Most of the weapons in their hands were ceremonial in nature, which were no match for the real weapons in the hands of the Jin family army. They were quickly killed, and only a few of them fled in panic under the cover of night.

Jin Zhun sneered, quickly walked out of the side door beside the throne, and entered the Jianzhang Palace again.

When Liu Cong was defeated and retreated to Guanzhong, he fell ill here and eventually died here. At this time, Jianzhang Hall became Liu Can's bedroom, but he did not live here at this time.

The palace maids and eunuchs in Jianzhang Palace were horrified and wanted to scream when they saw the army coming, but before they could rush over, the guards beside them killed them all with their swords.

A moment later, Jin Zhun walked in, stepping on a pool of blood on the ground.

He first looked to see if there were any fish that had escaped the net. After seeing that his men had killed them all, he came to Liu Can's study. Looking at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, he suddenly couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he drew his sword and started chopping.

The tables, curtains, and pearl curtains were all cut by him, and even the couch where Liu Can slept was chopped a few times by him.

Everyone looked at their master with fear and horror, subconsciously thinking that he might be - crazy.

So they all retreated outside and waited quietly.

After Jin Zhun panted and vented for a while, he slowly calmed down and then laughed out loud again.

"Liu Yuanhai, your family's foundation is over!"

"Liu Cong, just wait, I will smash your mausoleum right away. We still have a lot to talk about."

After the laughter gradually subsided, the crazy look on Jin Zhun's face disappeared.

He sheathed his sword, straightened his armor and appearance, strode out, waved his hand and said, "To the harem!"

******
Behind the Jianzhang Palace is the Huanglong Gate, which leads to a place called "Jingzhong".

There are many smaller halls and rooms here, which are where Liu Can usually convened ministers to discuss matters and ask questions.

There were no officials present at this time, only palace maids.

When Jin Zhun arrived, these people were lying on the ground in a mess, with blood everywhere.

Jin Zhun looked straight ahead, his face flushed with a sickly color, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

After leaving the Forbidden City and passing two walls, you will reach the harem.

Halfway through the journey, General Jin Ming of the Right Guard came to pay a visit.

"Brother, the emperor is in the Pepper Palace, with Concubine Huyan." Jin Ming was surprised when he smelled the strong smell of blood coming from the south.

My brother has been walking along the road, and I'm afraid he kills everyone he sees. There are almost no living people wherever he passes.

This - is a bit too much?
"What emperor? He's just a butcher." Jin Zhun sneered and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes, sir." Jin Ming stopped talking nonsense and led the way.

The Jin family army followed behind silently, with fresh bloodstains on their clothes and armor.

After entering the harem, perhaps because he had a target, Jin Zhun no longer killed people indiscriminately, unless someone got dizzy and happened to run into their marching route.

Outside the Pepper Room, guards were carrying corpses.

"Several palace servants went to prepare meals for Tian-Tu Ge, but the guards wouldn't let them go. They became suspicious and were strangled to death," Jin Ming explained.

Jin Zhun nodded but didn't answer.

When he arrived at the main entrance of the Pepper House, he stopped and looked at his younger brother inquiringly.

"The butcher boy has sobered up a little and is hungry, so he asked the palace maids to prepare a meal. He just fell asleep again." Jin Ming said. At the end, he felt that he might have been too long-winded, so he said directly: "Liu Can is inside."

Jin Zhun took a deep breath, and the blush on his face became more obvious. If you look closely, his body may still be shaking slightly. Jin Ming took a half step back in fear.

He was a little puzzled. How could his usually gentle and polite brother become like this?

He did want to rebel, but that was because he had run out of options. If the East and West were still in a standoff and the Jin army could not enter Tongguan, Jin Ming felt that he was still willing to fight for the court.

Of course, now that Chang'an is under siege, there is nothing to say. He doesn't want to work for Liu Can anymore, and he has no psychological pressure to rebel.

But it seemed that his brother was not rebelling just for self-protection. He must have other reasons. The distorted expression and the overwhelming hatred on his brother's face told Jin Ming clearly that the matter was not that simple.

"Bang!" Jin Zhun stepped forward and kicked open the tightly closed palace door.

Liu Can had not yet woken up and was still mumbling in his dream.

The noble concubine Huyan suddenly woke up. She got out of bed with a frown on her face. Before she took a few steps, she saw dozens of soldiers pouring in from outside, surrounding a man. It was General Jin Zhun, the father of Queen Jin Yuehua.

"Jin Cheqi--" Before Hu Yan could finish her sentence, Jin Zhun grabbed her hair and stabbed her in the abdomen.

Hu Yan screamed, his face full of pain.

Several palace maids who were a little sleepy saw this and screamed in shock.

The soldiers rushed forward and hacked him to death with their swords.

Jin Zhun kicked the corpse of the noble concubine Hu Yan away and slowly walked to the bed.

Liu Can was disturbed by the screams, and there was a slight anger on his face. His heavy eyelids trembled slightly, as if they were about to open.

"Pa!" Jin Zhun gathered all his strength and slapped him.

Liu Can was awakened by this sudden attack no matter how sleepy or tired he was.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce look flashed across his face, and he was filled with uncontrollable anger. When he saw Jin Zhun, he became even more furious. Just as he was about to ask, he caught a glimpse of Concubine Huyan lying dead on the ground and the corpses lying in the corner of the wall. He was stunned.

The Pepper Room was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

The whole hall was filled with rude soldiers, many of whom had blood dripping from their swords.

He looked at Jin Zhun again, and in fear, he asked a very stupid question: "Jin Qing, is there anyone in the palace plotting a rebellion?"

Jin Zhun laughed out loud, looking up to the sky, until he was out of breath and tears came out of his eyes.

Just at this moment, several soldiers came in from outside and whispered something.

"Give it here." Jin Zhun said without further ado, stretching out his hand.

The sergeant handed over a blood-soaked package.

Jin Zhun untied it slowly and revealed a head inside.

He didn't mind the dirtiness, he took it in his hand, examined it carefully, and laughed again.

"Jin Qing." Liu Can's hands hidden behind his back were searching subconsciously, as if he was looking for something to risk his life.

Jin Zhun looked at him with disdain, bent down, handed the bloody head to Liu Can, and said, "Here, father and son, say farewell, we will meet again later."

Liu Can stopped searching, took the head and saw that it was Crown Prince Liu Yuangong.

"Traitor!" Liu Can suddenly looked at Jin Zhun, his eyes were red, and he almost wanted to bite him.

Jin Zhun didn't waste any words. He stepped on the couch, grabbed Liu Can's hair and slapped him twice, then dragged him off the bed and kicked him hard twice.

Everyone stared in amazement.

When an emperor is treated like this, it always makes people feel uncomfortable, as if they have done something that deserves to be struck by lightning.

Jin Zhun didn't care and continued punching and kicking as if to vent his anger.

Liu Can was also tough. He cursed and even wanted to fight back.

The soldiers rushed forward and held him down.

Jin Zhun panted heavily, took out a gleaming silver dagger from his body, bent down and squatted beside Liu Can, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it hurts a lot, please bear with it for a while."

After saying this, he cut with the dagger without caring about Liu Can's reaction.

Large amounts of blood immediately oozed from Liu Can's neck.

He was so scared that he struggled desperately, but the more he struggled, the faster the blood flowed out.

"Your Majesty, my daughter begged you desperately at the beginning, but you didn't care about our friendship at all. Are you afraid now?" Jin Zhun found the wound he had just made and cut it again with the dagger.

The wound became deeper and blood gushed out instantly.

"Jin Zhun, traitor! You will not have a good end." Liu Can was still struggling, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of hatred and fear.

"You are not satisfied with the moonlight and moonlight, and you are coveting my daughter? She is already twenty-three or twenty-four years old this year, and cannot get married. She hides at home and cries every day. Although she is alive, what is the difference between her and death? If you don't die, she can only hide at home for the rest of her life, worrying about you day and night." Jin Zhun swung the knife for the third time, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Liu Can's eyes were a little dazed and his body twitched unconsciously.

"Jin Ling is my cousin." Jin Zhun licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered, "When I was young, my parents died early and many of my tribesmen were dissatisfied. At that time, my brother took care of me and visited me often. Although he is called my brother, he is actually my father. Because the state funds were insufficient and the construction of the palace was slow, he was killed by your grandfather Liu Cong. Is this what a human being would do?"

After that, he cut for the fourth time, a very deep cut.

Liu Can was almost motionless, only trembling occasionally, and his body was covered in blood.

Jin Zhun was still not satisfied and continued to swing his knife.

He cut again and again until Liu Can's head was almost cut off.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Jin Ming was even more shocked.

He was also dissatisfied with Liu Cong and Liu Can, but to be honest, Tu Ge also gave the Jin family a lot of benefits, so overall they still made a profit.

But in his brother's eyes, the benefits given by the Liu family were nothing and could not relieve the hatred in his heart at all.

I don’t know how long this hatred has been buried in my heart. After fermenting for a long time, if Liu Can didn’t die, my brother would probably go crazy.

He was really a little scared.

Jin Zhun squatted on the ground, swung the last knife, cut off Liu Can's head, then stood up, and after a moment of silence, he let out a long sigh and said, "Put the heads of Liu Can and his son in a wooden box and send them out of the city to King Liang. Chang'an City needs to be rectified, all gates must be closed, and anyone who leaves the city without permission will be executed."

"What should we do if the Jin army comes to attack the city?" Jin Ming asked.

"Then fight back." Jin Zhun said, "I will only surrender to the Liang army, not to Yao Yizhong, Pu Hong, Peng Tianhu, Liang Xun, Xu Chuquanqu and others."

Jin Ming understood.

There are so many messy soldiers outside the city, how can we let them in? Don't be ridiculous.

If a massacre were to begin, how many people would survive in the city? Even if the King of Liang issued an order to forbid it, Chang'an would suffer heavy damage, and it was unknown how many people would die.

Therefore, they must not be allowed to enter the city.

The most urgent task now is to block the news, incorporate the various tribes in the city, contact the Han officials and generals in the city, protect themselves and wait for King Liang.
