Chapter 170 Picking Fruit (Part 1)



Seeing this, Ling Tianen quickly mounted his horse and followed her back.

At this moment, he had a vague feeling that something had happened in the city.

This was a major event that Qin Yue Zhao could not face.

He can't not go!

The two sped along and soon saw Huo Tingye standing at the gate with several lieutenants.

Even Han Tianba, wearing a cloak, stood to the side, pacing anxiously.

Upon seeing her return, everyone clasped their hands in greeting: "Your Highness, you're finally back!"

Seeing Huo Tingye making such a big fuss, Qin Yuezhao was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong? Who's secretly sending messages to Kyoto?"

Huo Tingye glanced at his deputy general, then at Qin Yuezhao, and finally said, "He's not a member of the Huo family, but Zheng Danian, a subordinate of General Zheng."

Zheng Danian was not only Zheng Hu's subordinate, but also his cousin.

Upon learning that his cousin had committed an act of betrayal and ingratitude, Zheng Hu abandoned his work in the fields and gave Zheng Danian a severe beating in prison, which he is still doing today.

Huo Tingye also handed Qin Yuezhao two secret letters.

"Your Highness, we're in trouble!"

Qin Yue Zhao took it and opened it.

The first letter was written by Zheng Danian to the capital, in which he said that she had privately taken in refugees from the Great Wei and Great Liang, asked the gods for weapons, and was preparing to expand her territory in Liangcheng to build her own kingdom, thus harboring rebellious intentions.

The second image should be Kyoto superstitions intercepted by Huo Tingye and his men.

The inscription reads: "Qin Yue Zhao, commander of the Huo family army, has repeatedly disobeyed His Majesty, who is displeased. Therefore, the Emperor has specially ordered Huangfu Shao Hua, commander of the elite cavalry, to lead 100,000 elite cavalry to take over Liang City."

There is another specially marked section below, which is to have Zheng Danian assassinate Qin Yuezhao before the cavalry arrives in Liangcheng.

Upon seeing the contents of the letter, Qin Yue Zhao gritted her teeth in anger, her knuckles turning white.

It was clearly she who conquered Liangcheng.

She finally managed to get it done!

Now we have armored vehicles, reinforced concrete walls and houses, seeds, tillage machines, and fertilizers to improve people's livelihoods, and even refugees and bandits can gradually expand their armies...

Everything was getting better, so why did these people have to try to take everything away from her at this particular time?

And they even wanted to assassinate her!

She was not afraid of death, but if she died, Liangcheng would definitely be conquered by the Northern Barbarians and the Great Wei.

The people of Liangcheng and these refugees will surely be massacred by the enemy army and used as food.

Sensing Qin Yuezhao's anger, Huo Ziming was the first to cup his hands in greeting:

"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, this matter is entirely a conspiracy by the First Prince!"

"Why should we listen to him? We might as well rebel!"

In his mind, the Emperor was a tyrant, the Crown Prince was a good-for-nothing, and no one could compare to His Highness.

At this moment, a Huo family soldier on horseback came from the direction of the prison, delivering Zheng Danian's confession to Qin Yuezhao:

"Your Highness, Zheng Danian was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by General Zheng Hu, and finally confessed everything."

Qin Yuezhao quickly took the statement.

The record stated that Zheng Danian had infiltrated Huo's army since arriving in Liangcheng to send messages to the capital.

The secret letter she sent to Kyoto seeking help was intercepted and destroyed by Zheng Danian.

The city defense map of Liangcheng was given to Chen Kun by him.

Even the story of her using the treasure bowl to pray to the gods was meticulously reported back to the capital by him.

The people in Kyoto thought Qin Yue Zhao possessed a divine artifact and couldn't wait to seize the treasure basin and take over Liangcheng.

But they didn't know that once Qin Yuezhao died, the treasure basin would be nothing but scrap metal.

But what's the use of thinking about these things? Huangfu Shaohua was sent by the imperial court.

Moreover, he led 100,000 elite cavalry.

It's impossible to predict what might happen if she doesn't agree.

A cold wind suddenly rose, causing the national military flag to flutter loudly, and the atmosphere at the entrance of Liangcheng was as cold as an ice cellar.
