Chapter 245: Not My Kind

Wu Yue felt like her head was about to explode.

"Princess, you, you...when two countries are at war, you don't kill the envoys...what are you doing?"

Jiang Jiu cried and sobbed.

"I didn't mean to do that. Who made him tempted by your beauty? I have never been wronged like this."

The guard Lu An beside him also snorted coldly.

"Even if His Majesty were here, he would never allow the princess to suffer such an injustice."

When Wu Yue heard this, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet.

"If we don't take down the Northern Di, I will not be able to see Your Majesty."

Jiang Jiu was satisfied: "If we don't beat the Bullet Country to a pulp now, they will definitely bully us Daning again when they react in the future."

The Northern Di people must be defeated so that they cannot harass Daning for decades or even hundreds of years. It would be best to take the Northern Di back and make them a part of Daning.

Jiang Jiu's orders are His Majesty's orders.

Wu Yue began to gather his soldiers and set out towards Beidi.

Jiang Jiu was sitting on a chariot, wearing armor. In front of him were a number of people pushing cannons, advancing all the way towards Beidi.

The 300,000 soldiers of Beidi were defeated, and the Beidi Kingdom was no longer vulnerable.

A month later, Jiang Jiu and Wu Yue's troops directly reached the city gate of Beidi Capital.

Jiang Jiu waved his hand and ordered his troops to rest on the spot and attack the city early tomorrow morning.

At this time, the emperor of Beidi Kingdom had already climbed to the city gate. Looking at the cannons in the tent, he was trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, otherwise, let's surrender."

Someone from Beidi suggested.

The king of Beidi was so angry that he killed the man.

"No, we are nomadic people. We fight if we can win, and run if we can't."

Sure enough, the next day, after Jiang Jiu led his men into the capital, they discovered that the King of Beidi had already escaped with the royal family and others.

Jiang Jiu took a look at the map of the Northern Empire’s territory.

There are not many cities in their country. They are a nomadic people who live in tents and move from place to place.

Flowing with the growth of rivers and grasslands.

Jiang Jiu stayed in the Beidi palace.

"Wu Yue, Lu An, lead the cavalry and chase their king. Kill everyone who surrenders or not. After all, those who abandon the city and flee are not good people."

"After we come back, we will reward people based on their numbers."

When Wu Yue's men heard that there would be an extra reward, they were so excited that they went after the King of Beidi.

After Daning's troops arrived at the capital of Beidi, the common people of Beidi were particularly unfriendly.

But according to the discipline of the Wu Yue Army, they would not argue with ordinary people.

Until Taohua was bullied.

Wu Yue led the cavalry to chase the deserters from the Northern Di Kingdom.

Most of the troops were placed in the imperial palace when they entered the Beidi capital, but because there were so many people, some troops were placed in the original Beidi army barracks.

Taohua originally followed Jiang Jiu into the palace.

That day, Bai Yue said that the herbs in the palace were gone, and she needed to find some, and she also wanted to visit the capital of Beidi.

Jiang Jiu asked Taohua and several guards to follow.

When the group arrived at the main street of the capital, at first the Beidi people were not surprised to see that they were dressed as Daning people.

After all, their kings have fled, and they will soon become Daning people too.

As they walked, Bai Yue discovered that some people with curly hair and deep facial features looked at them with hatred.

Bai Yue was a little scared by his intuition.

Pulling Taohua, he said, "Let's not buy anything. Let's go back."

Taohua also sensed their ill intentions and held Bai Yue's hand tightly.

"Okay, let's go back."

The guards who were brought out also looked around vigilantly and protected the two women in the middle.

Who knew that as they were walking back, they would meet a group of locals. No one knew what they were doing, but they were shouting and making a fuss, and rushed towards Bai Yue and Tao Hua.

This attack not only swept away Bai Yue and Tao Hua, but also swept away their guards.

Taohua only felt her head go dark, and then someone covered her with a black cloth and carried her away.

Bai Yue was not in a good situation either. She was taken advantage of and was about to be captured when a poisonous snake she raised came out from her sleeve and bit the person who kidnapped her.

Bai Yue quickly stood up and quickly found the guards who were protecting them.

"It's not safe here, go back to the palace quickly."

The guards carried her into the palace, and Bai Yue looked around.

"Where is Taohua? Where did Taohua go?"

Just as the guard was about to look for it, he was stopped by the leader.

"Chang Sheng and I will go look for him. The rest of you, escort Doctor Bai back to the palace first."

Jiang Jiu was taking a nap in the palace. There were delicious Beidi food in the palace, and he ate until he was full.

Suddenly, Bai Yue came in in a panic.

"Princess, it's bad. Taohua has been kidnapped."

Jiang Jiu was shocked: "Are there any enemies here? Who would catch Taohua?"

Bai Yue shook his head in disapproval: "Although we have occupied the city of Beidi, the common people are not willing to surrender. They don't like us even when we are on the street."

Jiang Jiu was annoyed when he heard this: "After we captured the city, we distributed food to them. Why would they be dissatisfied?"

"Ordinary people, what bad intentions could they have? Let's find out first."

He sent another thousand soldiers to look for Taohua, and they searched almost the entire capital.

It was finally found in a dilapidated temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

When they carried Taohua's body in front of Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu still didn't believe his eyes.

Taohua's body was covered in bruises, not a single piece of healthy flesh remained. Her neck was broken and she was lying on the ground with her back leaning back. Her thighs and lower abdomen were covered in dirty marks.

Jiang Jiu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"She is just an innocent girl. She has no grudges against the Beidi people. How could they be so cruel? If they are unwilling to surrender, they can just leave..."

"Or maybe they have the guts to come after me..."

Jiang Jiu gritted his teeth and punched the ground hard.

"Come here, close the city gates. Bai Yue, go and draw the portraits of those who bumped into you... This princess wants to avenge Taohua..."

Bai Yue remembered the general appearance of those people: curly hair, high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, typical Northern Di people.

The portrait was quickly completed.

Jiang Jiu handed the portrait to Lu An.

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. If they are even slightly similar, we will arrest them all and chop off their heads at Caishikou to show everyone."

The Beidi palace was quiet as always. Jiang Jiu was the only one living there. It no longer had the prosperity of the past.

The capital of Beidi, the next three days.

Lu An's men captured thousands of people who looked like the portrait.

Every day, two to three hundred people were taken to Caishikou and interrogated by them personally.

"If anyone who bullies our Beidi women speaks out, I will spare his life."

None of the 200 people arrested the first time admitted it.

All of them were beheaded. Their heads fell off like cabbages and blood flowed like a river.

The Northern Di people below were wailing.

However, the soldiers of Daning also said that their people were being bullied, and if no one stood up, they would all be killed.

The Northern Di people dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

The next day, another wave of people was killed, about 300 people. Caishikou was simply a bloody place, and the strong smell of blood could be smelled from a long distance away.
