Chapter 432: The Situation Is Settled

direction and saw Qin Luoyan asking a child selling candied haws for half a skewer, buying a blackened silver bracelet from an old woman's hands, and then asking a hunter watching the commotion for s...Yi Sheng looked at Qin Luo Yan in surprise, his eyes showing disbelief. Two years ago, when he met her, she was a pure person who would do anything to save him. But now, there were these realistic thoughts hidden in her heart. In two years, time had changed a woman so much.

"So, since Zhao Cheng was going to die anyway, he wanted to use his last strength to pave a way for his descendants" Yi Sheng suddenly realized and felt a little suffocated, "You mean, as long as his descendants are alive and his troops remain, they could launch a counterattack against me at any time"

Qin Luo'yan nodded, feeling a touch of melancholy. When a person gradually loses their true self and has to conform to the survival rules of society, their inner world must be incredibly painful as well.

"Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots," such simple four words, yet how much blood would have to be paid for them

"Wing Sheng..." Qin Luoyan choked with emotion, but she remained firm. "If it isn't you who dies, it will be me. You can be ruthless."

She couldn't bring herself to be ruthless and decisive, but she didn't want Yìshēng to be unable to make tough decisions as a ruler either. Otherwise, even if he sat on this throne, his future would be bleak. She hoped he would live well, so she hoped that Yìshēng could become heartless.

Yì shēng hesitated for a moment, looked at Qín Luòyān again, and didn't know what he was thinking. He just finally nodded, then took out the dagger hidden in his arms, knelt down, and in Zuò Chéng's shocked gaze, he stabbed the dagger into Zuò Chéng's heart.

For a moment, the noise and fighting around him seemed to disappear. All that remained in the world was a young man covering his dagger with blood splattering on his face. He wasn't tall, but his expression was resolute. When blood splashed onto his face, he didn't flinch.

Only he himself knew, deep in his soul, there was a voice that constantly told him that only with power and strength could he protect her. He was willing to sacrifice his so-called integrity for the sake of becoming powerful.

After Zhao Cheng's death, his subordinates lost their backbone and became increasingly vulnerable. The soul of the army once departed, the remaining soldiers had their fighting spirit weakened by half.

Soon, Zocheng's subordinates were all controlled. However, perhaps because they had spent a long time with Zocheng, they also recognized the psychology of these ambitious people. Many of them understood that their future would not be good, so some took their own lives, and others dropped their weapons and rushed towards the enemy's swords.

When everything was over, only a carpet of blood remained to testify to what had transpired here.

Xu Hou was a man of the rivers and lakes, having killed people and fought, but he had never been on a battlefield and had never experienced such large-scale slaughter. He felt a sense of melancholy. However, Qin Luoyan's performance was beyond his expectations. Seeing this scene, she remained calm and collected, even instructing Yixing. With this kind of determination, it was no wonder that she became the wife of someone like King Wu Xuan.

Only after everyone had perished did Li Hai and Ling Qiu slowly approach. Their respective forces respectfully greeted them, but they merely strode arrogantly through the ranks, their eyes fixed high above, until they reached Qin Luo Yan's presence.

"Is Miss Qin satisfied now" Li Hai smiled faintly first, his words were light and breezy, as if the blood all over the ground was nothing to him.

Is this the state of those who wield power To them, blood is merely an indispensable accessory to their authority

Qin Luoyan responded with a sound, saying, "I didn't expect the three hidden families to be so powerful, I am impressed."

"Of course, do you think the foundation of our hidden family for hundreds of years is a joke" Ling Qiu let out an incomparably proud snort. "This is just a country, and where under heaven doesn't have our influence So now, how do you feel about exchanging your power with ours"

Qin Luo'yan smiled noncommittally and shook her head, "Although I am only one person, the things I can do as an individual can change the distribution of power among your hidden families. I don't think I have taken much advantage; rather, you are the ones who have benefited from me."

"You!" Ling Qiu didn't expect that even when it came to speaking, Qin Luo Yan wouldn't back down at all.

Li Hai saw that the two were getting angrier and angrier, so he quickly came out to smooth things over. "Alright, now is not the time to be arguing like this. Although Zhao Cheng has died, his army outside the city still needs to be dealt with. What does Qin girl hope we do"

Qin Luo'yan glared coldly at Ling Qiu before turning her head to ask Yingsheng, "Yingsheng, what do you think we should do about the army outside the city"

With a serious expression, Yisheng hesitated for a moment before tentatively suggesting, "Perhaps we could kill all of Zocheng's relatives and close confidants. As for the others, if they surrender, we can let bygones be bygones. However, they must be removed from the army roster."

When he said this, both Li Hai and Ling Qiu's faces showed expressions of surprise, as if they hadn't expected a young boy to make such a firm decision about life and death.

"Do you know, this one sentence of yours, will it cost many lives" Li Hai asked with a frown.

Yi Sheng nodded. "I know."

Li Hai let out a long sigh, but his face was filled with admiration. “Heroes emerge in youth. At first, I was worried that even if we helped you take over this empire, you, as a young man, wouldn't be able to hold onto it. Now it seems I worried too much. Good! Let's do it your way!”

Li Hai and Ling Qiu left with their troops, heading out of the city. Only a portion remained to clean up the scene. Zhao Cheng's people were wiped out completely. The ministers who had been frightened witnessed Wingsun's backstage forces, and for a time, they treated Wingsun with respect and awe. They feared that after tonight, these ministers would no longer dare to have any other thoughts about Wingsun.

"Sister, you don't look so well. Why don't you go back to rest first" Yisheng advised.

Qin Luoyan felt somewhat tired, especially since she always felt restless. Therefore, she didn't refuse Yingsheng's suggestion and left the imperial garden where the banquet was held under Xiaolong's escort.

But that night, she tossed and turned, yet couldn't fall asleep no matter what. Her mind was filled with Fu Zimu's figure.

As soon as dawn broke the next day, she couldn't wait to find Xiao Long. Xiao Long was washing up when he suddenly saw Qin Luo Yan swaggering into his room, giving him a fright.

"Has Fu Zimo replied yet" Qin Luoyan seemed completely oblivious to Xiaolong's awkward attire, only concerned with the news.

Xiao Long twitched the corner of his mouth, silently taking down the clothes hanging on the screen and putting them on before saying, "Not yet, there's no way it would be this fast. In my opinion, it wouldn't be until noon at the earliest that we hear anything."
