"Master, the Great Zhou army has already stormed the palace, and the two ancestors of the royal family were killed instantly. What should we do now? The Great Zhou Emperor is ruthless in killing the aristocratic families!"

At the Liu family mansion in the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom, all the top leaders of the family gathered together.

The Liu family is one of the top families in the Tianpeng Kingdom. It has stood in the Tianpeng Kingdom for a thousand years. Behind it is the Luo family, one of the top ten families in the dynasty. Therefore, this is the first time they have encountered such a crisis.

The head of the Liu family also had a bad look on his face. He didn't expect that Li Cunxiao would attack the city so quickly and even kill the royal family's Wu Ling ancestor easily.

The reason why the Qiu family was able to rule the Tianpeng Kingdom was precisely because of the existence of these two ancestors. Now that even they have been killed, how could other families possibly compete with the Great Zhou?

After a long pause, he asked in a deep voice, "Has the person sent to gather information returned? What's the situation at the city gate?"

Now that the royal family has been defeated, they must leave themselves a way out, at least by secretly transferring the family's wealth to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Great Zhou.

A young man beside the Liu family patriarch hurriedly replied, "The East and West Gates have been completely controlled. Only the North Gate is still in the hands of the city guards and has not been captured."

Upon hearing this, the Liu family's head made a quick decision: "Notify the guards at home to immediately pack up all the spirit crystals and secret manuals at home and send them out of the city through the north gate."

…

Outside the north gate, on a hillside less than twenty miles away from the north gate, Guo Jia was riding his dragon horse and looking into the distance.

The altitude of this hillside is not high, only about a hundred meters, and the slope is very gentle.

In the dense forest on the back of the hillside, lurking were fifty thousand cavalrymen of the Fire Scale Legion, and no one noticed them.

"Lord Guo Jia, are we just going to wait here for those noble families from the imperial capital to arrive? What if they don't pass through here, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?" Gongshu Chou came to Guo Jia and teased.

Guo Jia came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gongshu, I predict they will pass through here!"

"Oh, what's the evidence?" Gongshu Chou asked curiously.

Guo Jia explained, "When a noble family flees, they inevitably carry a large amount of family treasures. Although the small roads are more secretive, they are more likely to encounter accidents!"

"So, they'll choose the main road, which is more exposed but also safer, and do the opposite."

"That's why I guessed they would definitely pass through here, and we would definitely be able to catch them here."

Gongshu Chou showed a zombie-like smile on his face, and then said: "Having met you, Guo Fengxiao, the wealth of these aristocratic families is destined to benefit Your Majesty!"

As the two were talking, a shadow guard suddenly came up to Guo Jia and said, "Master Guo Jia, a hundred warriors appeared five miles ahead and are heading this way."

Guo Jia's smile grew even wider, and he said to the soldiers around him, "Get the troops ready for battle!"

Not long after the Shadow Secret Guard reported, Guo Jia saw hundreds of people in uniform appearing in the distance, rushing towards this side.

Most of these people are warriors, and there are more than a dozen powerful martial artists. The leader has even reached the level of Marquis of Wu, which is much stronger than Guo Jia.

This team is the Liu family's team!

However, Guo Jia had several shadow guards under his command and was not afraid of these people at all. When these people were still two or three miles away from him, he waved his hand lightly.

Then the sound of heavy horse hooves rang out, and thousands of Fire Scale Legion soldiers rushed out from the jungle behind them and surrounded the people from the aristocratic families who were fleeing in panic.

"The Great Zhou Empire's Fire Lin Legion is here. Everyone stop advancing and accept inspection!" A young general stood on his horse with his sword drawn, shouting angrily, his face full of majesty.

After Xiao Chen ascended the throne, he implemented a policy of equality between commoners and aristocratic families, and even suppressed the aristocratic families on a large scale.

This caused the confidence of the common people of the Great Zhou to swell unprecedentedly, from their original awe of the aristocratic families to their current complete fearlessness.

This young general was a commoner who was promoted after Xiao Chen came to power, and he was also a die-hard fan of Xiao Chen.

Since joining this battle, he has always been the first one to rush into the enemy camp. He feels that this is the only way to repay Xiao Chen's kindness in saving his life.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"

The leading warrior, a powerful Wu Hou, realized in just a moment that he had fallen into the evil scheme of the Great Zhou.

The north gate of the imperial capital was essentially a road of death left for the aristocratic families in the capital by the Great Zhou army because they were afraid that they would scatter and flee, making it difficult to capture them all in one fell swoop.

Anyone who escapes from the north gate will be captured by the Great Zhou army without exception.

"Everyone with storage rings, flee immediately. As many as you can escape!"

The elder of the Liu family was also very decisive. He knew that his side was doomed and could only choose the strategy of saving as much as possible, hoping to minimize the family's losses.

Unfortunately, Guo Jia did not give him a chance. While thousands of troops surrounded the Liu family disciples, more soldiers rushed up and surrounded them in three layers.

What made them even more desperate was that several highly skilled martial arts masters were sweeping across the sky, and their hope of escape became zero.

This place has become a desperate place for Xiao Chen to plunder the wealth of the aristocratic families.

…

"I, Li Cunxiao, Commander of the Fire Scale Legion, respectfully welcome His Majesty the Emperor! Long live His Majesty!"

In the Tianpeng Kingdom's palace, Li Cunxiao bowed to Xiao Chen who was walking slowly into the palace.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor!"

As Li Cunxiao knelt on one knee to salute, all the Great Zhou soldiers in the palace also knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Chen, with fanaticism in their eyes.

The Great Zhou had been weak for a long time and had been bullied by the Tianpeng Kingdom. But now they had captured the imperial capital of the Tianpeng Kingdom, which was unthinkable before.

All of this was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor.

Amidst the soldiers' welcome, Xiao Chen led the Wolf King and Zhang Han up the steps in front of the Golden Palace.

Then, he said solemnly, "You are all heroes who have expanded the territory of our Great Zhou. After this battle, each of you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

"Those who have made outstanding military achievements can join the newly established White Tiger Academy after returning to the empire and contribute to our Great Zhou in the future!"

"Long live His Majesty!"

"Long live His Majesty!"

…

Xiao Chen's words made these soldiers even more enthusiastic and their shouts even louder. A reward of a thousand taels of silver was already a great gift to these soldiers.

Now, there is even an opportunity to study at the White Tiger Academy. Almost every soldier in the Great Zhou knows that entering the White Tiger Academy means that one can at least become a sixth-rank general of the Great Zhou army in the future.

There was a roar outside the Golden Palace, but Qiu Tongbai, who was under house arrest in the palace, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

He knew that the emperor of the Great Zhou had arrived.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Qiu Tongbai of the Tianpeng Kingdom and his royal family are all imprisoned in the Golden Throne Hall."

After the soldiers' shouts gradually subsided, Li Cunxiao whispered in Xiao Chen's ear.

A gleam flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and then he said, "Well done, come on, take me to see him!"

"Your Majesty, please come this way!"

Xiao Chen was the first to walk into the Golden Palace, while the Wolf King and Zhang Han followed closely behind him.
