Wu Zhou.
The Golden Throne Room.
"Damn it! What on earth is going on here!"
A furious roar shattered the tranquility of the imperial palace.
Below, a group of civil and military officials kept their heads bowed, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
"Defeated? Our Wu Zhou was actually defeated!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou looked at the urgently delivered battle report, her face turning incredibly ashen!
She had originally been in an excellent mood today.
She was thinking about whether Qin Xiao would bow down and submit to Wu Zhou once the Great Qin was breached.
However, an urgent dispatch suddenly arrived today!
It brutally shattered the beautiful dream of the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou.
"What is the use of me feeding you all!"
Her loud roar frightened many officials so much that their calves cramped.
"Temujin's army of a million! Plus my Wu Zhou's five hundred thousand elite troops! They were actually defeated by a mere Qin Xiao!"
"Are you all useless trash!"
"Did I spend a fortune cultivating you just so you could lose battles!"
"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
The civil and military officials in the grand hall knelt on the ground one by one.
"Please punish us, Your Majesty!"
They kept their heads low, their hearts full of silent complaints.
Blaming them when things went wrong?
They had said it from the very beginning.
It would be best to go all out against the Great Qin, but she just had to seek out Temujin.
And now look, Wu Zhou was defeated and had become a laughingstock to everyone!
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou trembled all over with anger.
Then, she picked up the second urgent memorial.
After opening it, she merely glanced at it.
And her lungs nearly exploded with rage.
"Temujin, you have gone too far!"
Clatter!
The memorial was thrown to the ground.
"What do you think you are! A mere barbarian dares to betray my Wu Zhou!"
"I gave you food, I gave you weapons, and what do you do? You turn around and attack my Wu Zhou!"
The female emperor roared in fury, her head practically smoking.
She never expected that Temujin would actually rebel!
He betrayed her!
"Temujin, you beast!"
"How have I ever wronged you! How dare you treat me like this!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou furiously flipped over the dragon desk, her anger uncontrollable.
Her angry roars made all the civil and military officials keep as quiet as winter cicadas, not daring to breathe.
They looked at each other with terrified expressions.
Temujin rebelled?
And he even invaded Wu Zhou?
What exactly was going on?
Among the entire court, the only one who could steady his mind, Di Qingtian, slowly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I know that although Temujin is a man of the grasslands, he has a proud and resolute character. He would never easily go back on his word once an agreement is made!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "That Temujin is nothing but a despicable villain!"
"I cooperated with him, gave him food, and gave him weapons. Didn't I just add one more restriction? And he turns hostile and refuses to acknowledge me!"
"Judge this for me. His million-strong army consumes a massive amount of provisions. For every grassland warrior who dies in battle, I give ten catties of grain. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"I was motivating Temujin! Making him fight Qin Xiao desperately at all costs!"
"I was doing it for his own good, but what about him? He actually betrayed me!"
"Tell me, doesn't he deserve to die!"
The female emperor roared, her face twisted in a ferocious grimace.
In the Golden Throne Room, those who originally wanted to voice their condemnation of Temujin heard these words.
For a moment, they were utterly speechless.
Wait, what?
What did they just hear?
Only ten catties of grain for one dead person?
How many people would have to die to provide enough provisions for a million-strong army?
The faces of all the civil and military officials became as ugly as if they had swallowed flies.
If this had happened to them, they would probably have exploded with anger long ago!
The fact that Temujin was able to endure it until he went to war with Qin Xiao before erupting showed that he was actually quite broad-minded.
Di Qingyun's face stiffened.
His lips twitched, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
This approach was simply too unethical.
It was practically treating Temujin like a fool.
It would be strange if he weren't angry.
He definitely wanted nothing more than to tear the female emperor into eight pieces!
"Speak! Why don't you speak!"
Seeing that no one spoke up for her, the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou's face grew even more furious.
There were even tears of grievance shimmering in her eyes.
"I clearly did nothing wrong! Why would Temujin turn around and attack Wu Zhou? Why won't you speak up and explain it for me?"
Her voice was hoarse, her eye sockets red.
She looked as if she was about to cry.
"I know, I am just a woman. Since ancient times, a woman becoming an emperor is the only instance in the world!"
"You are all just jealous of me and want to see me make a fool of myself!"
Her voice was sharp and piercing, carrying a strong sense of accusation.
Sweat continuously dripped from the foreheads of the group of ministers.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean!
How could they not be clear about the thoughts of this woman, the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou.
In just a few short sentences, all the blame was shifted onto them.
How absurd was this!
The civil and military officials were cursing heartily in their minds.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent matter at hand is to dispatch troops to wipe out Temujin, otherwise our Wu Zhou will be in grave danger!"
Di Qingtian finally spoke up. After a moment of silence, he advised earnestly.
Several old generals had already stepped forward, waiting for orders.
Now was not the time to act on impulse.
If Temujin charged into Wu Zhou and was not stopped in time.
I am afraid Wu Zhou will not survive!
A million grassland cavalry, what a terrifying force that is!
If it were defending against enemies on the outside, it wouldn't be worth mentioning.
But Temujin had already entered the borders of Wu Zhou. Once war broke out, it would be a catastrophe!
Hearing this, the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou's chest heaved, and her expression softened slightly.
"Temujin, this traitor, I must kill him! I will have him subjected to the death of a thousand cuts and tear his corpse into ten thousand pieces!"
The female emperor's eyes revealed a fierce glint as she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Initiate the State War and bring out my Wu Zhou's army of two million! I want to fight Temujin... until one of us is dead!"
Her eyes were completely bloodshot.
This time, she absolutely had to kill Temujin!
She absolutely could not fail again!
The words of the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou left the civil and military officials thoroughly shocked.
State War, a bloody term.
It was a matter of either you die or I perish!
A State War would only be initiated when a nation was on the brink of destruction!
Once initiated, the entire country would be set into motion.
Those generals and soldiers guarding the borders, as well as the city garrison forces, would be summoned at the fastest possible speed.
"Your performance just now has disappointed me too much!"
"I have decided to personally lead the expedition and have the descendants of the noble families assist me in battle!"
