Huangfu Xiao vented all his anger towards Nie Yuhuang on Nie Ming and several Dayu envoys.
His men followed suit and subjected them to all sorts of humiliating acts.
The thought that the high-ranking Crown Prince and ministers of Dayu were being mocked and tormented was as if they had already seized the Dayu empire.
Nie Ming and the other old men were all incredibly cowardly and afraid of death. As long as they could live, they would throw away all sense of face and dignity.
This made the Wumeng people look down on Dayu even more, thinking that all the people of Dayu were spineless.
Even if you are submissive, you still have to endure the beatings and humiliations you deserve.
The old men were too old to hold on for more than a few months before they passed away.
As they breathed their last, covered in wounds, in the sheepfold, they finally remembered their past lives.
So that's why the Queen abandoned them.
After they died, Nie Ming almost went mad.
With Qi An's reminder, Huangfu Xiao indeed broadened his horizons.
After personally "conquering" Nie Ming, he sent Nie Ming to the military camp and let the soldiers of Wumeng "conquer" the Crown Prince of Dayu one by one.
Nie Ming originally thought that since he had endured so much torture in the prison and had a thick skin, the days shouldn't be too hard to bear.
Unexpectedly, it became a special "military supply" that everyone could use.
In the midst of unbearable humiliation, he recalled his past life countless times.
Because of his incompetence, many women in Dayu suffered this humiliation.
Even after his surrender, his six royal princesses, his sisters, did not escape the fate of being repeatedly humiliated by the Wumeng soldiers.
In order to save his own life, he offered them up voluntarily.
He remembered that Nie Yuwei and Nie Yudie were both about to give birth, but they were repeatedly raped and killed, resulting in the deaths of both mother and child.
The third and fourth princesses were trampled into a bloody pulp by horses while trying to protect their sisters.
The fifth and sixth princesses, unable to bear the humiliation, bit off their tongues and committed suicide.
The most tragic case was the Seventh Princess, who was only fourteen years old at the time, yet had already blossomed into a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
Her tongue was cut out, her tendons in her hands and feet were severed, and she became the lowest-class military prostitute.
Just like him now.
Is this retribution?
No, he did nothing wrong.
Nie Ming is the emperor of Dayu, and all the people of Dayu are his servants. It is only right for them to die for their master.
The one who is wrong is Nie Yuhuang, that traitorous scoundrel Nie Yuhuang.
Under inhuman torture, Nie Ming's mind has become unstable.
His body was already broken and tattered; he no longer wanted the throne or going home.
Only one thought remained in his mind.
He killed Nie Yuhuang.
Huangfu Xiao finally killed several troublesome brothers and quelled the internal strife, freeing him to deal with Nie Yuhuang.
He was absolutely certain that even if Nie Yuhuang won the rebellion, the Great Yu would be severely weakened.
He only needs to watch from the sidelines and then reap the benefits.
The news from the scouts shocked Huangfu Xiao.
Nie Yuhuang managed to resolve the internal strife without losing a single soldier.
No, it should be said that only one person was wasted.
Her personal maid, a top assassin named Fugui, single-handedly beheaded four vassal kings.
Huangfu Xiao didn't quite believe it.
It's already a rare find for Dayu to produce a woman like Nie Yuhuang, how could another one possibly appear?
It must be an exaggeration in the rumors.
Perhaps the old emperor had already planted spies among several vassal kings, just like Xu Shize beside Nie Yuhuang.
The princes were killed by nails as soon as they rebelled.
Just as he was hesitating whether to send troops to Dayu now or wait, his subordinate reported that Nie Ming was looking for him.
"What does that good-for-nothing want with me?"
Huangfu Xiao was very impatient. They were born of the same father, so why was there such a big difference?
I wish Nie Yuhuang was as useless as Nie Ming.
"He wrote on the ground, saying that he had a shocking secret to tell the Great Khan, about Nie Yuhuang."
Since it concerned Nie Yuhuang, Huangfu Xiao dared not be careless and, with some skepticism, had someone bring Nie Ming cleaned up and brought to him.
"Give him paper and pen, and write down everything you know for me."
After a long while, Huangfu Xiao looked at the "secret" written by Nie Ming and was so shocked that he was speechless.
Rebirth?
Is there really such a bizarre thing in the world?
Moreover, in their previous life, they truly destroyed Dayu, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of generations of Wumeng ancestors.
With a face full of resentment, Nie Ming threw down the brush, bit his fingertip, and wrote stroke by stroke in his own blood:
“She is a demon who crawled back from hell and will not let any enemy go, including the entire Wumeng. If you don’t kill her, she will kill you.”
“Kill her. As long as you kill her, Da Yu will be yours.”
Huangfu Xiao stared at the horrifying blood-written letter, gritted his teeth, and ordered, "Relay my order: assemble the troops and prepare to attack the Great..."
He was interrupted halfway through his sentence by a subordinate who suddenly barged in.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
Huangfu Xiao frowned deeply: "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"
Could it be that his remaining brothers are causing trouble again?
Even in the dead of winter, his subordinates were covered in sweat.
"Your Majesty, the Dayu army has gathered at the border at some unknown time. Three days ago, they suddenly attacked us and have already captured seven cities."
"What?"
The blood-written letter in Huangfu Xiao's hand fell to the ground, and the sentence "If you don't kill her, she will kill you" was particularly glaring.
Huangfu Xiao felt that he could hardly breathe.
Before he could even cause trouble for Nie Yuhuang, she actually made her move first.
Three days, seven cities—what does that even mean?
They only have about twenty cities in Wumeng, and a third of them were gone in just three days.
The most terrifying thing is that, despite such a huge change, he didn't receive a single word of news.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Xiao's eyes widened in anger, and he roared:
"The army amassed and captured seven cities in three days. Why did no one report such a huge commotion? Were all the scouts and the generals guarding the cities dead?"
His subordinate's eyes were bloodshot as he fiercely wiped them, saying, "They...they're all...dead."
"They're all dead?"
Huangfu Xiao stumbled and almost lost his balance.
The subordinate gritted his teeth, each word dripping with blood: "The Empress of Dayu personally leads her troops, and whenever she conquers a city, if anyone resists, she massacres the entire city, leaving no one alive."
"Those seven cities are already ghost towns."
Huangfu Xiao closed his eyes, trembling.
The people of Wumeng are known for their fierce and warlike nature; everyone is a soldier, and even ordinary civilians are trained.
In previous years, as soon as winter arrived, groups of people would go to the border town of Dayu to rob grain and money, and sometimes they would also humiliate the women of Dayu.
Instead of stopping the people's behavior, he was quite proud of it.
It's normal for the weak to not be able to protect what they have, isn't it?
Therefore, in the eyes of the Wumeng people, Dayu was their own granary.
How could they not resist when faced with the disdain of the Dayu people?
Huangfu Xiao's gaze fell on Nie Ming, who was already dumbfounded, and every word he uttered seemed to be poisoned.
"Issue the order to immediately set out to meet the enemy. I, the Khan, will use Nie Yuhuang's head to pay tribute to my father and my dead people."
"yes."
