"General, His Majesty has been bewitched by that enchanting concubine. If you let me kill her, His Majesty will return to the wise and sober emperor he once was!"
After leaving Emperor Zhao's room, Deputy General Xiao Qingfeng, who was being dragged forward by General Helian, cursed: "Your Majesty was not like this before. It's all the fault of the evil concubine. She has disrupted the government and deserves death. I will kill her with my own hands!"
"Then what?"
Seeing that they had walked ten feet away, General Helian finally released Xiao Qingfeng's hand and asked coldly, "Kill her, and then let His Majesty chop off your head?"
Hearing General Helian's words, Xiao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. After a moment, his eyes reddened as he said firmly, "A real man must die. To be able to die for the State of Zhao, to be able to awaken His Majesty who has been bewitched by the enchanting concubine, to be able to die for the army of Zhao, is a blessing for me, Xiao Qingfeng!"
Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, General Helian's heart moved: What a loyal deputy general!
It’s just that my brain isn’t working well, and I’m acting a bit recklessly!
"What about your family?"
General Helian continued to pour cold water on her: "If you dare to kill the demon concubine, His Majesty will kill all your clans. I remember your wife just gave birth to twin sons for you. Can you bear it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Qingfeng felt as if his lifeblood was being held by someone, and he was speechless.
After a moment, he said dejectedly, his eyes red, "No wonder Your Majesty is still childless in middle age. You are so foolish and licentious, you are truly unworthy of having an heir."
"Be careful with your words!"
Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, General Helian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat in the middle of winter. He quickly covered Xiao Qingfeng's mouth and muttered in his heart: My ancestors, His Majesty's people are nearby, do you want to drag your whole family to death with you!
When Ke Youtian heard that the loyal Xiao Qingfeng was cursing Emperor Zhao, he was secretly happy: he felt that his plan was closer to success.
However, this was not the time to be happy. He imitated General Helian and frantically advised Xiao Qingfeng: "Brother Feng, be careful with your words. If what you just said reaches the ears of His Majesty, killing all your clans would be the least of your punishment.
If the ruler wants his subjects to die, they must die. It's just a matter of us warriors taking off our clothes and performing a dance. It's all done with a bit of gritting our teeth and closing our eyes. Let's hurry up and rehearse. Otherwise, if we don't dance well enough to displease that evil concubine, we'll be in big trouble."
"That's right, Afeng, let's just celebrate our success in advance."
Listening to Ke Youtian's words, which were meant to comfort him but were actually meant to sow discord, General Helian wanted to kill Ke Youtian right then and there, but because he hadn't gotten something, he could only play along...
**
Three hours later, three generals led three hundred generals in the heavy snow, standing in front of the 100,000-man army, and danced a war dance with their upper bodies naked in front of Emperor Zhao and Liu Ruyue who were sitting high on the city wall:
"Old Zhao, let us go to the national crisis together;
Old Zhao, come and restore our land.
The war will not end until the blood is shed and the people die!
To the west lies the great Zhao, rising like the sun;
A century of national hatred, hard to get over!
How can we have peace when the world is in turmoil?
Zhao has sharp warriors, who can compete with them?
…
As General Helian led 300 soldiers to stand in front of the city gate, the drum band next to him began to play music. As the passionate war song sounded, General Helian felt that his blood was boiling, and his majestic and powerful body danced to the war song.
The three hundred soldiers behind General Helian originally thought that performing a war dance in front of Emperor Zhao and the Demon Concubine was a humiliation to themselves, but due to military orders and for the safety of their families, they had to go on stage.
However, as soon as the drums sounded, their souls were ignited, and they danced the war dance in unison and with all their might to the passionate war songs...
Further away from the city wall, the 100,000-strong army was cursing in their hearts that the foolish emperor was doomed to be childless as punishment, and that the enchanting concubine was doomed to die early due to her excessive debauchery.
But as soon as I heard the sound of the drums, my soul was touched.
Then, upon hearing the war songs sung in unison on the city wall, tears welled up in everyone's eyes and their blood boiled. They wished they could immediately cut off the head of the Nanman leader and give it to Emperor Zhao as a wine cup...
"I didn't expect Yue'er to be so talented and to be able to write such an inspiring and courageous war song!"
On the city wall, Emperor Zhao looked at the 100,000-strong army below, which seemed to be energized by the action. He looked with some shock at the little woman in white fox fur who was curled up in his arms for warmth.
Upon hearing this, the little woman just turned her head and smiled at Emperor Zhao, then continued to watch and admire the dance of more than 300 muscular warriors under the city wall.
Liu Ruyue didn’t know whether other people were excited or not. She only knew that her blood was boiling when she saw the muscular men of all shapes and sizes.
After the song ended, Liu Ruyue was still not satisfied and looked greedily at the soldiers under the city wall who had not yet put on their clothes.
Emperor Zhao and his 100,000-man army were equally unsatisfied. The only sound in the air was the rustling of the wind and snow. Everyone was savoring the soul-stirring war song just now. Only Liu Ruyue was paying attention to the bodies exposed in the wind and snow...
After a while, the secret guard came to Emperor Zhao's side and whispered something. Emperor Zhao then stood up and shouted towards the city wall, "This is the war song that Liu promised to give you. Three days later, I will use this war song to support the battle and conquer the southern border with you soldiers!"
At the foot of the city wall, General Helian was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He was the first to shout: "Annihilate the southern barbarians, flatten the southern border, and protect our Great Zhao!"
Behind him, first came the 300 dancing soldiers, and then the 100,000-man army, raising their arms and shouting:
"Annihilate the Southern Barbarians, flatten the southern border, and protect our Great Zhao!"
"Annihilate the Southern Barbarians, flatten the southern border, and protect our Great Zhao!"
"Annihilate the Southern Barbarians, flatten the southern border, and protect our Great Zhao!"
