Chapter 158 The Century-Long Pact



It's finally here!

Wei Wangqing calmly put down his pen.

Wu Yao looked arrogant and thought he would see these people who were usually high and mighty panicking.

But now they all seem rather dull.

Were they all scared out of their wits?

But he had been holding back for a long time, and this was the moment he had been waiting for.

"I never expected that your Wei soldiers would be so easily defeated, allowing us to breach the palace gates so readily and pass through unimpeded."

Immediately, members of the Wu tribe began to fawn over them, saying, "The chieftain is truly wise, having chosen such a perfect opportunity."

"Hahaha, this is a blessing from heaven for my witch clan."

The Wu tribe members were arrogant and acted as if they had already conquered the world, completely disregarding us.

But after talking for a while, the witch clan members realized something was wrong.

The people here stared at them expressionlessly, as if they were watching a monkey show.

Wu Yao also felt ignored and humiliated.

It shouldn't be like that, because it makes him feel like he's back to being a beggar.

And this group of people will always be high and mighty.

Now, he's going to bring them all down!

Enraged, Wu Yao shouted, "Go! Take down all of them!"

He wanted these people to kneel and look up at him, to submit to him without any choice.

Wei Wangqing seemed not to hear, picked up the jade seal, placed both hands heavily on the brocade, and pressed down gently.

The ministers dared not express their opinions, but seeing His Majesty's confident demeanor, they assumed that nothing serious would happen.

At this moment, Wei Wangqing stood up and handed the brocade to the person behind him.

"Keep it safe."

"yes."

Wu Yao felt utterly ignored. Even now, this woman was still thinking about that damn agreement.

The agreement had been signed, and the members of the Wu Clan had all appeared. Wei Wangqing had no intention of toying with them any longer and simply waved his hand.

A large number of soldiers suddenly surged out, wielding their swords and catching the Wu tribe completely off guard.

Among them, the most valiant was General Nan.

They charged straight to the front, fighting bravely against the enemy, displaying the imposing presence of a lone warrior holding off ten thousand on the battlefield.

Wei Wangqing also looked at Nan Xiangrong with admiration. As expected of the general she personally selected!

Wei Wangqing felt that he truly had a discerning eye, always able to attract talented people for the Great Wei.

The people of Great Wei are so fortunate to have such a wise ruler as her!

Wei Wangqing couldn't help but think narcissistically.

However, if someone observes closely, they will notice that General Nan's direction of attacking the enemy is constantly moving closer to the Empress.

It was as if all they had to do was rush to His Majesty's side to protect him.

But even if someone saw it, they wouldn't care, since everyone present was protecting His Majesty.

Those who want to save the emperor are never a minority.

Wu Yao was incredulous. How could this be? The soldiers of Great Wei all looked like they were on the verge of death.

Wu Yao realized what was happening and instantly glared at Wei Wangqing with eyes wide as night, "You lied to me!"

Wei Wangqing remained noncommittal; the man's tone made it seem as if she had wronged him.

"I did not lie to you; I was merely playing along with your plan."

"Don't look like you've been deceived and can't believe it. From the moment you decided to step into the palace, you should have expected that you would fail."

Wu Yao never considered where the flaws in his otherwise foolproof plan had occurred.

He should be a genius among one in ten thousand, so where did things go wrong?

He refused to believe that it was his own mistake that caused it.

"Was it you? It was you again! Who betrayed me? Was it you?" Wu Yao pointed at his clansmen and began to go mad.

But the clansmen pointed at by Wu Yao were heartbroken.

"Chieftain, how can you say that? How could we possibly betray the Witch Clan?"

"Even if we die, we will never betray the Witch Clan!"

But Wu Yao didn't believe it and began to frantically bite his own people.

In Wei Wangqing's opinion, this person simply cannot accept the facts.

They can only shift the blame to others; if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job.

They don't have the ability, yet they think they're the best in the world and that their plan is flawless.

This kind of person will only harm themselves and others.

There was no time for their internal debate; the soldiers were already upon them.

The remaining people could only focus on fighting the enemy.

Wu Yao, however, was still immersed in his own world and unable to accept reality.

Finally, a knife plunged into his body.

Wu Yao seemed to only then come to his senses, his eyes widening in resentment as he slowly collapsed to the ground.

The remaining few, seeing that their clan leader was dead and only a handful of them were left to hold on, were soon overwhelmed.

They all died under the soldiers' swords.

Blood splattered in the main hall.

Wei Wangqing had no intention of sparing their lives; he simply watched as the soldiers killed them.

Even a centipede that has died does not stiffen.

Keeping them around will only continue to harm people, it'll never end.

Besides, this was their original destiny.

If they had escaped and settled down somewhere peaceful, without thinking about these illusory powers, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

Nanlin, having seen such scenes before, remained unfazed, as if nothing had changed.

On the contrary, many ministers looked ashen-faced, especially the civil officials, who had never seen such a scene before.

But they all endured it and did not behave improperly in front of the palace.

Meng Jiujiu, however, looked at the scene with a furrowed brow and a grim expression, as if she had thought of something.

Wei Wangqing ignored everyone and said directly to Nan Lin, "Nan Emperor, today's signing can be considered a complete success, so I won't see you off."
