Chapter 1130 More Terrifying Than Death
Chapter 1130 More Terrifying Than Death
Lin Zhen's words were like the most vicious curse, each one striking Kong Zhiqian's heart.
alive?
Let him watch with his own eyes as the world he most wanted to destroy becomes better and better?
Let him witness firsthand the couple he hates most, hand in hand, creating a glorious era he never dared to even dream of.
This……
This is ten thousand times more cruel than killing him outright, or tearing him to pieces!
"no no!!"
Finally, a crazy light flashed in Kong Zhiqian's eyes again!
He let out a shrill, inhuman roar, turned around, and rammed into a broken halberd beside him!
He's going to commit suicide!
He would rather die than accept such a humiliating punishment!
However, he had only taken one step.
A black figure appeared before him like a ghost.
It's a ghost.
He simply kicked it.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out!
Kong Zhiqian's two legs were cleanly and decisively broken by him!
"what--!"
Kong Zhiqian let out a heart-wrenching scream, and collapsed to the ground like a rag doll, his body convulsing violently from the intense pain.
"Want to die?" Ghostly figure's foot pressed down on his face, grinding it hard, and he said in an icy voice, "In front of our Prince and His Majesty, you don't even have the right to die."
After saying that, he dragged Kong Zhiqian away like a dead dog and disappeared into the crowd.
Finally, complete peace was restored to Chengtianmen Square.
Only the blood and corpses scattered on the ground silently testified to the harrowing battle that had just taken place.
After the initial fear and chaos, the people in the square were still in a state of immense and indescribable shock.
They witnessed firsthand those legendary, ghostly "nihilistic" traitors.
They also witnessed firsthand the valiant and skilled "Night Owls" and the elite troops of the Beijing Garrison, who were like gods descended to earth.
They witnessed firsthand how their regent single-handedly killed the leader of the rebel party!
They witnessed how their empress, amidst a hail of arrows and explosions, remained calm and composed, directing the rebellion with ease and wit, completely quelling a massive rebellion that threatened to overthrow the empire!
Shocked!
worship!
fanaticism!
These few words were all that remained in everyone's mind.
After a brief silence.
Someone, no one knows who, was the first to kneel down again, and with all their might, shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Prince! Long live the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Then, the second, the third...
In the end, hundreds of thousands of people in the square knelt down from the bottom of their hearts!
The roaring shouts, as loud as a mountain and as powerful as a tsunami, soared into the sky, as if they were going to overturn the entire sky above Chang'an!
Standing atop the city wall, Murong Yan looked down at the faces flushed with excitement and listened to the heartfelt expressions of support and admiration. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
She knew that from this moment on, her and Lin Zhen's prestige in the Great Qian Dynasty had reached an unprecedented peak.
No one, no force, could shake their rule anymore.
She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and slowly suppressed the tidal wave of sound.
Her gaze swept across the entire venue, and her voice, amplified by her inner strength, clearly reached every corner.
"Fellow citizens of the Great Qian Dynasty, please rise!"
"Today, we have caused everyone a great shock."
"But I also hope that everyone can remember this day!"
"Remember those heroes who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to protect our common home!"
"Remember those traitors who lurk in the shadows, their sole aim to destroy our happy lives!"
"I hereby assure you all!"
"As long as I, and the Prince, am alive, I will never allow today's tragedy to happen again!"
"I will dedicate my entire life to protecting this country! To protecting each and every one of you!"
"I want our country to become the most prosperous, peaceful, and proud nation on this land!"
"I want every one of our people to live in peace and prosperity, to have enough to eat and wear, and to always have a happy smile on their face!"
Her voice is full of boundless power and infectiousness!
As the people listened to her words, they were all moved to tears!
"Your Majesty is wise! Long live the Great Qian Dynasty!"
……
Late at night.
Inside Qifeng Pavilion, the candlelight was bright, and the atmosphere was warm as spring.
Murong Yan was only wearing the one and only divine phoenix descending to earth dress.
At this moment, she was leaning lazily in Lin Zhen's arms, enjoying the rare tranquility after the storm.
The deep black Suzhou brocade base, under the soft glow of palace lanterns, presents a velvety, warm texture.
The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread had also concealed all its sharpness and murderous aura. Under the candlelight, it flowed with a restrained and gentle glow, like a giant bird that was dozing off, completely satisfied.
The five-zhang-long Suzhou brocade train cascaded down from the phoenix couch, gently enveloping the two of them like a tranquil, luxurious, secluded sea of black and gold clouds.
Lin Zhen held a warm towel in her hand and was carefully wiping away the little bit of dust that had accidentally gotten on her cheek during the chaos of the day.
His movements were very light and gentle, as if he were handling the most precious piece of porcelain in the world.
"Husband," Murong Yan suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of languid nasal tone, "Tell me, have we really won?"
"Yes, we won." Lin Zhen put down the towel, lowered his head, and gently pecked her lips. "We won completely."
"The northern deserts are pacified, the south is secured, and the treacherous officials in the court have been wiped out. From today onwards, no one can stop us."
"That's nice." Murong Yan snuggled against him, finding a more comfortable position, like a contented cat.
"Yes, that's great." Lin Zhen smiled and hugged her even tighter.
The two embraced quietly, neither of them saying another word.
Outside the window, the moonlight, like water, bathed the courtyard.
Inside the palace, candlelight flickered, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.
They knew that from tomorrow onward, they would face countless tedious administrative tasks related to national reconstruction and development.
They are about to usher in a brand new and magnificent era that belongs to them.
But at least, today, at this moment.
They could temporarily set aside their identities as emperor and prince.
Let's just be a couple, the most ordinary, survivors of a disaster, lovers.
Enjoy this hard-won tranquility and warmth.
Lin Zhen looked down at the sleeping face in his arms, so beautiful in the candlelight that it captivated him, and his heart was filled with endless love and contentment.
He gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Yan'er, go to sleep."
Tomorrow will be another new beginning.
