The cavalrymen were speechless at Zhao Qingyan's statement, since they were the ones who benefited.

As a result, the speed of picking was incredibly fast, and the technique was incredibly smooth.

What's even more surprising is that these cavalrymen seemed to know a lot about jewelry, and they divided the spoils very evenly.

At least no one felt it was unfair.

As dawn broke, the group ate some dried meat they had bought in town the day before, and then dispersed to the city gate.

As the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, the gates of the capital city opened.

This is the rule of the capital: when the city gates are open, it doesn't matter the time of day, only the sun.

It opens its door when the sun rises and closes it when the sun sets.

As soon as Zhao Qingyan and her group left the city, they were startled by the dense crowd of people at the city gate.

These people were none other than the 500,000-strong army of Northern Mongolia that had fled back in disarray.

However, Zhao Qingyan and the others did not stop there.

Instead, they ran out of the city as fast as they could.

Once outside the city, the mount galloped off at top speed.

They quickly disappeared from sight of the capital.

This whole ordeal made it seem as if Zhao Qingyan was trying to lead people into the city to steal some things and divide the loot.

As the commander of 500,000 troops, Erqir handed over the token. After the city guards verified its authenticity, they quickly let him pass.

However, the king's army cannot enter the city at will.

Therefore, the army outside the city lay sprawled out, sitting on the ground.

They were truly hungry. Although they had robbed countless herders of their cattle and sheep along the way, they still couldn't get enough to eat.

Occasionally there will be conflicts. No matter who you are, if you steal someone else's cattle or sheep, they won't tolerate it.

Then let's fight. If we're going to fight, then blood will be drawn.

This group did not lose a single soldier on the territory of the Divine Dragon Kingdom, but they lost a lot of manpower on their own territory.

Some tribes that previously supported the war are now feeling the harm coming from their own side.

He was therefore deeply dissatisfied with head coach Echir.

Erqir himself was the eldest son of the Northern Mongol King. He grew up by the Northern Mongol King's side from a young age.

The original purpose of this attack on the Divine Dragon Kingdom was to build momentum for Erqir, making it easier for him to inherit the Northern Mongol throne in the future.

Unfortunately, they lost both their wife and their army. Before they even reached the other party's doorstep, they slunk back in disgrace.

If Zhao Qingyan and her group hadn't already looted all the horses along the way, there would probably have been a flood of memorials reprimanding Erqier.

Putting aside everything else, at the very least, the tribal chief who was robbed will surely come to the capital with a big sword and demand an explanation.

Without horses and livestock, the herders who were robbed were truly heartbroken.

They wanted to find their tribal chief to help them demand an explanation, but they didn't even have a horse to ride.

Walk over there, stop fooling around.

They probably got eaten by wolves before they got very far.

Besides, the distances between the herders' homes are quite far. By the time they arrive, who knows when they'll finally get there.

Therefore, Erqir and his party were able to successfully return to the capital.

Erqir was able to enter the capital and even the royal palace. However, the person who announced his entry came out looking troubled.

When the eunuch went in to announce his arrival, the King of Northern Mongolia was busy. A single shout of "Get out!" nearly terrified him.

Interrupting the Northern Mongol King's good deed is no small matter.

Don't turn back and blame yourself, or you'll lose your life.

But why did the commander-in-chief return from the campaign looking so disheveled? The eunuch realized he had discovered something extraordinary.

Quickly send someone to inform the Queen Dowager that the King is refusing to see Echir, who has suddenly returned, because of Sanghua.

Who is the Grand Consort? She is someone who fought alongside the King of Northern Mongolia to conquer the world.

Upon learning of this, I felt ashamed.

He immediately led a group of maids to the Northern Mongol King's bedchamber.

But upon entering, the First Consort was terrified by the Northern Mongol King's bloodshot eyes and fierce movements.

Immediately, she became jealous, "You old rascal, you've never been this fierce towards me since you were young."

Thinking of this, I stepped forward, intending to call a halt.

The Northern Mongol King's blood-red eyes looked very strange.

Sanghua's eyes were fixed on the ceiling; it was clear at a glance that she was no longer alive.

The Queen Dowager then realized something was wrong.

"Your Majesty..."

As soon as the Grand Consort finished speaking, the King of Northern Mongolia mechanically rolled his eyes. He seemed to recognize this woman.

Who could it be? For the moment, she couldn't quite remember.

He reached out to the Grand Princess purely on instinct.

The eunuchs following behind quickly left the bedchamber.

However, as time went on, the eunuchs serving the Northern Mongol King noticed something was amiss.

Even the legendary tiger might not have such endurance in a fight, right?

Because of the king's tyrannical power, he dared not go in and disturb him directly again.

With a quick glance, he ordered someone to summon the witch doctor, and at the same time, he ordered someone to summon the king's other women.

The witch doctor naturally didn't dare go in alone, after all, the queen was also inside.

When the other women of the Northern Mongol King heard that the King was unwell, they naturally could not stand idly by.

So, they all rushed into the bedchamber.

The Grand Queen, who was on the verge of fainting, saw many women enter and felt as if she had seen her saviors.

She never got jealous again.

My bones are too old to withstand such abuse.

"Suttia, Dolan, come here quickly!" the Grand Duchess called out.

Those two are fools too; they came running as soon as the Grand Princess called.

Although he was under the control of drugs, the Northern King still retained some consciousness.

Seeing two more women arrive, he reached out and grabbed at them again.

At this moment, the Northern King was no different from a beast, acting entirely on animal instincts.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Grand Queen Dowager went all out and knocked the Northern Mongol King unconscious with a single slash.

If Your Majesty continues like this, your lifespan will surely be shortened.

After tidying herself up, the queen consort ordered the shaman to examine the king.

Half an hour later, the witch doctor confirmed that the king had been poisoned by the aphrodisiac.

This medicine is just too potent, unlike any other medicine; it can't be released until one is completely exhausted.

If this continues, the Northern Mongol King's life is over.

In order for the Northern King to survive, the shaman prescribed some medicine to clear heat and reduce internal fire, regardless of whether it worked or not.

They then threw the Northern Mongol King into the ice water to soak.

Upon entering the icy water, the Northern King only had a fleeting moment of lucidity.

I know he's been drugged.

As for when the medication was administered, it is unclear.

The Queen and the others naturally saw the words on the wall.

But the characters were clearly from the Divine Dragon Kingdom, and when they looked at the king soaking in the ice bucket, they felt a chill run down their spines.

"It seems that our military intervention angered the Great Insect Kingdom. This is their warning."

The Queen Dowager quickly came to a conclusion.

The king is in this state now; it is certainly impossible for him to handle state affairs.

The Grand Queen Dowager soon summoned Echir.

Echir was the Grand Consort's biological son, so when he met his mother, he did not hide anything and told her everything he had seen, heard, and done along the way.
