Chapter 106 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (32)

Despite following Nie Suzhi for many years, De Fu could not understand him. The Emperor was putting all his effort into killing Bai Tang while also acknowledging her as his only Empress and ordering all palace attendants to address her as such. Yet, they clearly had little contact with each other.

Since Bai Tang was coming to the capital, De Fu saw it as a great opportunity to kill the leader and gradually defeat the remaining members of the group led by Wen Yueqing.

Nie Suzhi mocked him with a sneer, “Fool! The Empress will never come to the capital.”

Setting up a trap to catch fish in a net was doomed to be futile. It would do more harm than good.

“Ah… I am foolish,” De Fu admitted.

Defu really didn’t understand why the emperor was so certain that Bai Tang would not come to the capital.

At this time, Bai Tang was still in their stronghold in Minnan, accompanied by many capable generals, and the army had been dispatched to protect her.

They had been in hiding for too long— it was time to stretch their muscles and bones.

Since they were here, it was time for Bai Tang’s closest confidants to meet each other.

It had been several years since Wen Yueqing had last seen Bai Tang. When she saw her again, she recognized her at a glance. Her charm was still as radiant as ever, and she had a smile in her eyes that surpassed all things in the world.

Except for Wen Yueqing and a group of old people who knew Bai Tang, the others were meeting her for the first time.

The lord was really stunning! Not in terms of appearance, but in terms of temperament.

“Elder sister Bai!” Wen Yueqing immediately put down what she was doing. Despite having received the news earlier, she was still pleasantly surprised and ran over to hug Bai Tang. 

The group had never seen Wen Yueqing act this way before. Normally, she was the fierce and efficient Demon King Wen who rarely showed her emotions. This was the first time they had seen her behave like a young girl. Bai Tang caught her in her arms and spun her around.

“I’m back.”

They didn’t need many words to understand that they treated each other like family.

Ayimu snorted softly. The women from the Central Plains were so cunning, taking advantage of the lord as soon as they arrived.

“Elder sister Bai, you didn’t get darker, but you got thinner. I’ll make it up to you,” said Wen Yueqing sullenly. The higher her position, the more she cherished friendship.

Bai Tang’s forehead creased with a black line. Where did she become thinner? But since big beauty Wen was complimenting her on losing weight, she must have.

Ayimu said with a strange yin and yang tone, “We in the desert don’t mistreat our lord. We give her the strongest wine, the most fragrant milk, and the toughest meat.”

Ayimu’s fiery red lips and exotic red clothing made her stunningly beautiful.

Wen Yueqing had just been watching Bai Tang and didn’t notice this exotic girl. At the moment, she had a dark face, looking as if Bai Tang had cheated on her.

Bai Tang coughed lightly and said, “Ayimu, Yueqing is my sworn sister and my right-hand man. Little sister Wen, she is Ayimu, the most eye-catching flower in the desert.”

Bai Tang looked around and went to the others one by one. “Li Zecheng, your mechanical skills are very innovative. You can continue to modify the bow and crossbow. The mechanical crossbow is suitable for assassination. Try to figure out how to make a long-range crossbow that can penetrate armor. Keep up the good work.”

“I heard from General Song that Shen Zhi, the young general, is good with a spear. Come on, let’s spar and see if you’re living up to your reputation.”

The handsome young general’s face lit up with joy. He had only joined later, and he had only heard of Bai Tang’s reputation from others. He wasn’t entirely convinced that a woman could be so powerful.

Ayimu and Wen Yueqing retreated in tacit agreement. Daring to compare spear skills with the lord? What a lot of courage!

Many newcomers had never seen how formidable Bai Tang was and were eagerly anticipating it.

Bai Tang didn’t intend to bully Shen Zhi too much and just played along with him. Unfortunately, Shen Zhi didn’t feel the same and became more aggressive when he realized Bai Tang wasn’t using her full strength, hoping to force her to do so.
