118 Winds of Change 4 (1/2)

It was a night many would remember, many high ranking officials and generals, who were always arrogant and aloof, were dragged forcefully from their residences and palaces by the Rui Lin Army, whimpering and whining.

The guards and hired mercenaries were no match for the Rui Lin Army soldiers, who killed any who tried to stop them from carrying out their orders.

The smell of death and blood spread and hung thickly over the Imperial City. Those officials and generals who resisted had their arms broken and dragged before the Palace Gates, their blood trailing in their wake.

Overbearing might? Dominating authority?

These mattered not to the Rui Lin Army.

Not even the Emperor dared use such ruthless means on so many court officials, but it mattered not an ounce to the Rui Lin Army, whose eyes did not see the pleading and begging of those captured but only the orders they were given by Jun Wu Xie.

Once an order was given, the Rui Lin Army carried it out to their death!

There was no stopping the Rui Lin Army as the killing continued with pockets of feeble resistance put up.

More and more high ranking officials were tied up and carted off.

They never could have imagined, with their high rank and authority, they would ever be subject to such humiliation and treatment.

The brutality of the most elite army of Qi when resisted from carrying out their orders, drives the strongest of men to tears.

Jun Wu Xie stood calmly, the wind blowing behind her, looking up at the Emperor.

The dust kicked up as a horse carrying a captured official stopped beside her. Squealing like a pig to the slaughter, he was thrown unceremoniously to the ground just beside the beast.

The Emperor recognised the man, it was the maternal grandfather of the Second Prince. Before the downfall of the Empress's family, he received much favour from the Emperor, one of the Emperor's top lackeys, and he played a big part in the suppression of the Lin Palace, in cahoots with the recently deceased Wu Wang.
