Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead in the dark day, and his body began to shake violently under Gu Qingchen's strong pressure. He had made a mistake, how could he say that Miss An was dead.

The oppression on his body was like a thousand pounds, and Hei Zhou's body was crawling downward inch by inch.

Just when he was about to lie down on the ground, the oppressive feeling that kept him from moving disappeared instantly.

"Get out of here."

Hei Zhou was panting like an ox and fell to the ground. A pair of boots embroidered with an eight-clawed golden dragon suddenly came into view. The ferocious look of teeth and claws made Hei Zhou feel palpitated.

"Why don't you get out yet?"

Gu Qingchen's cold voice sounded above his head, and Hei Zhou immediately stood up and clasped his fists, not daring to stop, and exited the carriage.

Seeing that he had gone out safe and sound, Qing Ge calmly exhaled, and her heart dropped.

She was really afraid that Hei Zhou would be beheaded with a sword just like those people that day.

The carriage turned around and headed in the other direction.

Soon we stopped at the foot of a mountain.

Gu Qingchen got off the carriage, his black eyes darker than the color of night, looking at a place on the mountain, his expression was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger.

One person in front and two behind. The three of them stepped on stones and dead branches under the moonlight to reach the mountainside.

Different from the desolation along the way, this place seems to be an oasis created in this desolation.

A patch of lush foliage and flowers.

A new tomb stood alone among the flowers at night. As we got closer, we could see a few lines of epitaphs on the tombstone.

The tomb of my beloved daughter An Jinshu——

Gu Qingchen walked forward slowly and lightly traced the name on the tombstone with his finger: "Sister, tell me how I can believe that you are dead. Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"

His smile was bright and even more penetrating than the pale moonlight.

Not caring about the dirt on the ground, Gu Qingchen sat on the ground with her back against the wall of her tomb and slowly closed her eyes: "I'm tired. I'll take a rest at my sister's place. She probably won't mind."

With the sound of shallow breathing, he actually sat in front of the tomb and fell asleep half leaning on the tombstone.

Hei Zhou and Qing Ge stood in the distance, looking at the depressed figure in front of the tomb and couldn't help but look away. They made a tacit agreement not to make any sound so as not to disturb the other's rest.

At dawn, there is a chill in the mountains, and the mountainside is like a fairyland on earth in the hazy mist.

Two slender figures stood in the mist, and the sound of low conversation could be heard.

Qingge: "It's almost Yin time, do you want to wake up the master?"

Hei Zhou: "No need, the master knows it well, you and I can just wait."

The red sun rises in the east, and the fog in the mountains fades, revealing the surrounding scenery.

A man in mysterious clothes is sitting in front of the tomb, with his head half bowed. One leg is propped up and his left arm is placed on it. The other leg is parallel to the ground, slender and straight.

He seemed to be still sleeping, breathing evenly. He didn't seem to be disturbed by the late night exposure, nor did he feel uncomfortable with the roughness of the ground.

It wasn't until the fog faded that he slowly opened his eyes, then turned to look at the tombstone and stood up.

Gu Qingchen twisted his neck and moved his legs and feet. His eyes were clear and clear, without the slightest hint of haziness as he just woke up.

He raised his feet and stepped down the steps. Qing Ge and Hei Zhou immediately came forward to greet him.

"What time is it?"

"Go back to the master, we have half an hour to go to court."

Gu Qingchen hummed. The black-armored guards and the carriage were still waiting at the foot of the mountain. Gu Qingchen did not choose to take the carriage, but got on the horse and drove away.

Everyone did not dare to delay and immediately rode up to follow.

On the second day after he ascended the throne, he was late to the court. Gu Qingchen was probably the only one in history.

Many ministers have been waiting impatiently, and they are all whispering and complaining to each other.

The target of the complaints was their new emperor, Gu Qingchen.

But other ministers stood there holding jade tablets, closed their eyes and fell asleep, waiting quietly.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

As Li Fengcheng made a sharp voice, the hall, which had been noisy like a vegetable market, immediately fell silent. The ministers who were whispering to each other also bowed their heads and stood back to their seats.

Gu Qingchen walked out of the back hall with cold eyebrows and evil appearance. He wore twelve golden crowns on his head and a bright yellow robe. The nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the dragon robe looked noble and majestic.

His steps were even, and each step seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts, making the ministers lift their hearts.

As the saying goes, a new official takes office with three things in mind, and a new emperor takes office with only a few more things. This morning, the court didn't know what their new emperor was going to say.

Li Fengcheng: "Kneel down!"

All the ministers knelt down and shouted in unison: "See you, Your Majesty! Long live my Emperor!"

Gu Qingchen raised his hand: "Everyone, please stand upright."

All the ministers kowtowed: "Long live thanks"

After saying this, everyone stood up one after another.

Before the officials could stand still, Gu Qingchen's voice rose: "Who has the ability to play?"

On the first day of the new emperor's reign, even if something happened, no one wanted to be the one who stood out. No one knew that their new emperor was not a soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others.

Before his father passed away, he had eliminated many remnants of traitors. Even someone as beloved as Prince Yi died in the palace coup. In addition, they had seen and heard of his methods before, and it was not a big deal. These officials are not stupid. They got into trouble on the first day because the black gauze hat on their heads was too heavy.

So when Gu Qingchen asked, no one said anything.

He glanced around with sharp eyes, then curled his lips and said with a smile: "Everyone, everything is okay? But I am, Zhang Cai, bring me the things."

Zhang Cai stepped forward and handed over a scroll.

The people below were a little curious when they saw this, not knowing what was there.

But there was someone who guessed it, and his body started to tremble involuntarily.

Following everyone's gaze, Gu Qingchen slowly opened the scroll, and then he saw him tutting and laughing, then raised his eyes and looked in several directions intentionally or unintentionally.

And without exception, everyone in the position he looked at broke out in cold sweat. If they didn't have something to worry about, how could they be afraid of a mere look.

"Do you know what this is?"

"This is a list. On it are the names of all the rebels who participated in the rebellion a year ago. Can you guess how many people are on this list in the hall today?"

There was an uproar in the hall when he finished speaking.

Everyone in the palace could see how brutal the palace battle was a year ago.

All twelve doors in the palace were opened. The rebels invaded the imperial city and massacred many innocent palace maids and chamberlains. The guards died tragically. Many concubines were raped, killed and humiliated to death, except for the concubines who were close to the main palace and the noble concubines who were close to the emperor's palace. Ladies and gentlemen, most of the people in the palace were beheaded with swords and died with their eyes open.

Emperor Yuan'an was slightly injured in that battle, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stabbed in the chest and was in coma for more than a year. The Emperor's sister, the legitimate daughter of the Protectorate, was seriously injured that night and recovered, leaving hidden dangers, and died of a severe illness half a month ago.

Princess Taiping died during the siege by the rebels, and her mother Rong Guifei was also disfigured in that battle. After that, she became sick with worry and went with the late emperor a few days ago.

One after another, none of them could be considered a serious crime against the Nine Tribes.

A year later, just when the families thought that the matter would be settled with the death of Emperor Yuan'an, Gu Qingchen held up the list and told them that he had the list of the rebels in his hand.

There is nothing more terrifying in the world than this.
