Chapter 126 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (52)

Nie Suzhi commanded coldly after a while.

Failure is not frightening, especially since he has not completely failed yet.

The shadow guard’s heart sank, and he took the command list and left.

Nie Suzhi played with the broken half of the red-tasseled spear that Bai Tang thrust into his heart when they first faced off.

After a long while, he indifferently curved his crimson lips.

He had lost the people’s hearts, and there weren’t many people left for him to use, only a group of death warriors.

Sometimes, explosives are a handy thing.

Watching them about to succeed, what if their leader dies? Without a head, it’s chaos. What if most of the talented people die in the process? That would be even more chaotic.

At the same time, a group of people arrived quietly.

It’s not strange for an emperor to have death warriors, and what Bai Tang wants to cut off now is his death warriors. After beheading those who can work for him, he will be quiet for a while. Of course, she didn’t let the Black Armored Army off either. She had ordered Atulu and Song Zhi to start killing them. The Black Armored Army is Nie Suzhi’s loyal guard— they must be killed.

One battle after another began again. The time of turmoil was long and swift.

Soon, it was two years later.

This was the last war. If they won this one, the entire land would be in Bai Tang’s hands.

Bai Tang sat on a horse, wearing silver armor, with a solemn expression. Blood covered her long spear, and her armor was also stained with a considerable amount of blood as she moved forward.

Young General Shen Zhi was still frightened, General Tang was trapped and almost died. He saw the lord take a long spear without saying a word and rushed to save General Tang. As a subordinate, protecting the lord is a necessary duty. If he can’t stop the lord, he can only follow closely to protect the lord. At this time, if something happens to the lord, it’s fatal for them.

Who would have expected that the lord was much more powerful than he had imagined, breaking through enemy lines alone on horseback with a spear, unstoppable.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Zhi advised, “My lord, next time, don’t be so willful.”

Bai Tang said, “I know what you’re thinking, but my life is no more precious than yours. If you go, it will cost more lives, but if I go, not a single soldier will be lost.”

“Even though that’s true, my lord, you are still our lord. What do we do if something happens to you?” Shen Zhi complained like a spoiled little girl.

Bai Tang looked Shen Zhi up and down, delivering a blow, “Shen Zhi, the more formidable you are, the less I will need to act. Young General Shen, despite the imminent victory, don’t neglect your skills afterward. The world is larger than this— we need to expand our territory as much as possible. There shouldn’t be so many countries in the world where each speaks its language. Don’t you agree?”

Shen Zhi was a little absent-minded, nodding subconsciously, “Yes, my lord, you’re right.”

Only later did he realize what Bai Tang had said. Surprised yet somehow feeling it was only natural. The lord was such an extraordinary figure, single-handedly integrating and subduing the various ethnic groups that had troubled the imperial court for centuries. They seemed to listen only to Bai Tang.

Before Bai Tang’s large army even reached the capital, the gates of the capital were already wide open. Heavens knew how long they had been waiting for Bai Tang’s troops.

Ayimu entered the capital city first. At that moment, right at the city gate, a gorgeous woman in exotic clothes sat on her horse, looking as if she were waiting for her lover.

Finally seeing Bai Tang, Ayimu whipped her horse, and it galloped forward. As it approached, she pulled the reins.

“My lord, the explosives in the capital have been cleared. According to the eunuch, Nie Suzhi has been waiting for you in the Imperial Study from the beginning.”

Bai Tang’s eyes narrowed, “Ayimu, bring the cage over. I’ll go ahead.”

“My lord, be careful with everything.” Ayimu murmured.

Bai Tang swiftly entered the imperial palace— Nie Suzhi’s actions had now completely turned him into a solitary figure.
