Chapter 120 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (46)

“I was only responsible for this part of the mission. As for the rest, I truly don’t know.”

Wang Yunde was not lying. He had come as a death warrior and, to better conceal his identity, had married a girl who caught his eye. Unbelievably, his cold heart had indeed warmed for her. It was because of this that he hesitated time and time again, which eventually led to his exposure. A death warrior who got caught was supposed to immediately bite down on the poison hidden in their teeth, but he hesitated. He had attachments now and couldn’t bring himself to die so resolutely. That’s why he gave Zhang Hetong a chance to take the poison. Yet, he didn’t have the courage to bite his own tongue to commit suicide either. Three years of a normal person’s life had allowed him to regain some of his humanity.

“When was the most recent order issued? The contact person? Are there any others?” Bai Tang immediately inquired, her tone filled with urgency.

She had never imagined that Nie Suzhi would be this insane. She paced anxiously back and forth in the prison cell, her mind filled once again with that detailed map.

With Nie Suzhi’s madness, it surely wouldn’t end here.

Bai Tang’s face paled as something crossed her mind. Dark clouds immediately gathered on her face, and her presence sent a heavy atmosphere that made everyone hesitant to breathe.

The lord was terrifying in such a state.

“At dusk today, at the third quarter of the ‘mao’ hour, we will destroy the riverbanks in the Yuanzhi River Valley. I don’t know the exact timing of other people’s orders.”

“You madman!” Bai Tang cursed and kicked the iron gate of the dungeon so hard that it broke. The guards were startled.

“Zhang Hetong, continue the interrogation. You, you, and you, urgently summon the strategists and officials to come for a meeting.”

Nie Suzhi, you really outdid yourself. Giving her such a gift.

At the ‘mao’ hour, just as the sun was rising, when the first light illuminated the entire earth, Nie Suzhi intended to turn half the land into a vast expanse of water, bidding farewell to today with no tomorrow!

The guards didn’t dare to delay and quickly rushed out to sound the alarm.

Everyone knew that an urgent late-night meeting meant something significant had happened. They didn’t dare to slack off and hurried over.

Those who arrived first were already being assigned tasks by Bai Tang.

Those who were a little later, without wasting any time, Bai Tang went straight to the point.

Upon abruptly learning that Nie Suzhi intended to blow up the river banks in the Yuanzhi River Valley, the expressions on everyone’s faces became very grave. Fortunately, there was still some time left.

Bai Tang immediately marked what she believed to be the most suitable location and sent riders there without delay.

She also promptly sent messages to other areas. At this time, it was not about contention but about safeguarding the people in this region. 

She could guarantee the areas under her control, but for the territories of other lords, her reach didn’t extend to places that were too far away.

Today, it seemed destined that some would meet their end at dawn.

Although everything had been arranged, Bai Tang still felt some unease. 

She had a nagging feeling that with Nie Suzhi’s madness, it couldn’t be just this. Destroying the river banks in the Yuanzhi River Valley, which encompassed most of Great Qin, would only take care of two-thirds of it. What about the remaining one-third? With Nie Suzhi’s madness, Bai Tang had every reason to suspect that he must have made other arrangements.

The Black Armored Army should have already assembled by now, likely waiting for the situation to become clear so they could deliver a fatal blow to various factions. As for Bai Tang’s location, according to Nie Suzhi’s plan, it should be one of the places to be submerged.

Bai Tang once again thought of that map.

Blowing up the Yuanzhi River Valley, Valley…

Suddenly, Bai Tang thought of a certain place on the map and couldn’t help but curse again, “Madman! Truly deranged!”

She really wished she could use her abilities right now. She could still make it there. However, the constraints of this world prevented her from doing so.

Bai Tang looked up at the sky.

“Are you really this pedantic? I, as someone with an even deeper understanding of the situation, am still anxious for the beings under your control, and yet, you just let things happen?”
