Chapter 229 World Five: Surrender?



In other words, it was the confidant who served the concubine.

When the people sent by Helian Lingfeng explained the reason for arresting the people around the concubine, the concubine was dumbfounded.

"You mean, Nabuqi drugged and murdered Feng'er?" She looked at the person who had been with her for most of her life and was being escorted by soldiers, her eyes full of disbelief.

The guard bowed and said, "My Queen, the King has only ordered that Nabuqi be arrested and brought to Wuling County for trial."

"Nabuqi..." The concubine looked at the person being escorted, hoping that she would defend herself. If she said anything that she was wronged, she would go to Wuling with her and get to the bottom of the matter.

Unexpectedly, Nabuqi just curled her lips and said, "No need. It is my honor to be able to serve you for half my life. Princess, take care."

As soon as she finished speaking, her jaw was snapped off by the soldier next to her.

Then someone took out a black ball from her mouth.

The soldiers looked at each other, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Queen Consort had told them to pay attention to Nabuqi's mouth before they came. Otherwise, if she died before the trial even started, they would have done a bad job.

Thank you, Queen Dowager!

The toffee watched the actions of several people. What was there that she didn't understand?

"Why is this happening? Am I not good enough for you?"

Nabuqi was speechless after her jaw was removed, but her eyes looked a little sad.

The leading soldier raised his hand, his expression hesitant as he spoke, "Queen, we are going to report to the King. You..."

"Go." The concubine waved her hands helplessly, took a deep look at Nabuqi who was being pressed down, turned around and walked inside. Her back looked a little sad.

A dozen days later, Nabuqi was taken to Wuling County by fast horses.

At that time, Helian Lingfeng led his men to an expedition again, with the target being Qixi County next to Wuling.

So the soldier with his men reported to Tu Qingyu first. After all, Helian Lingfeng had instructed him before that meeting the Queen Mother was like meeting him.

Just before they set off, they actually saw the Queen Dowager using the King's tiger talisman to play with the little princess.

Later I found out that it was more than just a toy, the king had given half of the tiger talisman to the Queen Dowager.

Fortunately, they are convinced by the Queen Mother.

A few months passed, and lush wheat began to grow in the desert.

They were able to get out of the mountains of Weixing County thanks to the medical skills and prescriptions given by the Queen Mother. Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died.

In their hearts, the Queen Consort is comparable to the Snow Mountain Goddess.

Tu Qingyu had Nabuqi locked up in an airtight dark room and tied up in the middle of the room. There was no light in the entire room, only a small sink next to it.

She could only hear the sound of dripping water "tick, tick, tick..." in the room.

Unable to feel the passage of time, she completely collapsed after just a day and a half.

A Bao was a little shocked, "Queenie, is this trick so effective? She couldn't bear it so soon?"

"She has endured for a long time. A normal person would probably not be able to bear it for half a day." Indeed, to be able to lurk beside the concubine for decades, how could it be possible to stay for so long without some mental fortitude.

Helian Lingfeng received a letter from Tu Qingyu during the second siege.

It turns out that Nabuqi is a native of the Central Plains. She was adopted by her master when she was very young, and her master also adopted many children.

Later I learned that her master was the chief steward who helped train secret guards and spies for the royal family.

All of their children were sent to the desert.

She used various methods to lurk around all the candidates for the previous King of Mobei's selection of concubines, and in the end, the master she followed became the Queen.

Of course, a few of them became concubines.

They had allies in the royal court, but those concubines had no fighting power and soon their allies were killed or injured.

When the King of Mobei passed away, there were only two concubines left in the entire royal court.

This means that she still has two allies left.

Two is enough.

The three of them planned for more than ten years before they got this opportunity to drug the victim.

Unexpectedly, it still failed.

Before she died, Nabuqi thought, well, it’s fine this way.

Finally, I don’t have to live in fear anymore, and I don’t have to live in guilt every day.

It's not that I haven't thought about turning against them, I might as well just follow the Toffee.

But thinking of the master who was the only one who gave her warmth when she was a child, she suppressed her urge to rebel.

Helian Lingfeng chopped off her head and the heads of the other two spies and had them sent to the Central Plains.

That morning, when all the civil and military officials in the Central Plains saw the two human heads hanging at the palace gate, their faces turned pale.

Some of the timid ones just shouted out loud.

What’s more, my lower body was wet throughout the entire morning court session.

In the days that followed, whenever Helian Lingfeng captured a city, he would chop off the head of the defending general and have it hung at the gate of the palace.

"Hasn't he been caught yet?" The old emperor was so angry that he almost collapsed. The regent now was the eighth prince, the King of Chu, and he was furious in the court.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Chu has already ordered strict defense, but..."

"What's the use of you? If you can't defend the city, even the palace gate and your own home can be stolen!"

The generals below lowered their heads.

"My dear brother, if I were to ask you, as the Crown Prince who oversees the country, you are not without responsibility for this matter, are you?"

"How dare you!" The King of Chu turned and glared at the prince who had spoken. "Do you have to speak out and make sarcastic remarks at this critical moment?"

The prince curled his lips and asked, "What else?"

He has been appointed as the regent. When the old man passes away, won’t this country belong to him, the King of Chu?

If they don't tell him now, will they wait until he ascends the throne?

However, it is not certain whether this myna can ascend the throne.

The King of Mobei's offensive is so fierce that it may not take long for him to invade the Central Plains.

He didn't want to be emperor, he just wanted to survive. He should first think about how to escape from the capital without being caught and wiped out.

"Everyone," the King of Chu said, after reprimanding his brother, looking at the entire court and bowing. "Is there really no other way to stop the King of Mobei?"

"As long as anyone can come up with a useful solution, I will make the decision, promote them to the third rank, and grant them a title."

"this……"

Even after he said this, no one in the court spoke.

Over there, Helian Lingfeng had already attacked Xiping County. At this point, half of the Central Plains was in his hands.

Tu Qingyu took his men and went to Xiping County.

Xiping County is rich and has many merchants. It is the most prosperous city in the center of the Central Plains.

Logically speaking, a city like this shouldn't be captured so quickly.

But Helian Lingfeng had just led his troops over, and even when they were still five miles away, the prefect and the general stood there with their men and surrendered.

Ever since Helian Lingfeng started hanging the heads of the generals defending the city, there have been some soldiers surrendering.
