The battle flag of the South is now flying high over the royal palace of the Eagle Kingdom.
The former emperor of the Eagle Kingdom is now hanging at the city gate.
Gu Mu did not kill any innocent civilians.
But the people, seeing all this, already understood that the tide had turned and the Eagle Kingdom no longer existed.
Every country has its share of loyal and courageous individuals, and the United States is no exception.
Some witnessed all of this and then committed suicide in their homes, but many more looked forward to the arrival of a better life—because Gu Mu promised them that he would treat them the same as the original people of the Southern Kingdom.
From then on, they were able to eat their fill and stay warm.
Children from ordinary families can also afford to attend private schools and secure a future.
...
It was a desolate place far from the capital.
Lu Xiaoyao lay wounded and broken in a desolate wasteland.
She's escaped far enough; surely she won't be caught and brought back by the Empress Dowager of the Eagle Kingdom?
She has been lying here for almost two days. Along the way, she deliberately avoided populated areas. She originally wanted to reach the border and ask Gu Mu for help, but... her body could no longer hold up, making her travel such a long distance.
I'll probably... die here, won't I?
Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but recall that several dozen days ago, after she assassinated the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom, she thought she had successfully completed the task assigned to her by Gu Mu, and that she could take that head to collect the reward.
But……
She fled the capital and headed to the frontier, but soon fell into an ambush and was brought back to the capital and imprisoned in a dungeon.
It must be said that the Queen Mother of the United Kingdom is a very formidable person.
They actually pulled a fast one, using a fake British emperor as a stand-in.
She killed nothing more than an insignificant stand-in.
Moreover, everything she did, which she thought had gone unnoticed, was actually witnessed by people secretly planted in the palace by the Empress Dowager.
At that time, Lu Xiaoyao fled into the Hidden City...
However, within the hidden city, there were also assassins bribed by the Empress Dowager, who were willing to do anything to kill her.
Moreover, most of the martial arts figures in Hidden City are Lu Xiaoyao's enemies, and none of them would protect her.
In the hidden city, the Empress Dowager's elaborate manhunt for her quickly attracted the attention of her other enemies...
Hidden City is no longer a place to stay.
Lu Xiaoyao lay in the dungeon, lost in thought, believing that her life was over.
She wasn't afraid of death, but she remembered that she hadn't yet seen the garden in full bloom with peach blossoms, hadn't heard enough of the crisp sound of golden autumn leaves falling on the soil under her feet, and hadn't felt enough of the cool night breeze on her skin...
Everything in this world, and all that she cherishes.
"Doctor... I haven't found you yet..." Lu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly.
But then, she was taken away, bound hand and foot, and taken to the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom's palace... Oh, right, before that, her tendons in her hands and feet had been severed, and all her martial arts skills had been crippled.
A cripple with no martial arts skills, and a seemingly frail and thin woman.
The Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom believed that he could definitely control the situation.
But……
Just as he lunged at Lu Xiaoyao, Lu Xiaoyao pulled out a hidden weapon from somewhere and slashed the throat of the Eagle Kingdom emperor.
Because it was done in a panic, the wound didn't reach a vital spot.
But the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom was also temporarily unable to act.
By kidnapping the Emperor of the United Kingdom,
Some of the methods that Lu Xiaoyao has already used as trump cards.
That's how she escaped the palace.
They fled very, very far away... avoiding everyone.
But... she was seriously injured and finally collapsed in this wilderness.
Lu Xiaoyao looked at the blue sky in despair. She no longer had the strength to get up. She would probably die soon...
Anyway, without martial arts skills, she's just a useless person even if she lives. She has too many enemies, and even if she doesn't die now, she'll be killed by them.
She used to have exceptional talent and looked down on those people, but now... they'll all suffer the consequences, right?
Lu Xiaoyao pulled a money pouch from her clothes and held it tightly in her hand.
She smiled and said, "They say that when a person is dying, they will think of the most important person to them."
"But why is it that when I think of you, I think of you instead of my master, with whom I've shared life and death for many years?"
"Will I never be able to find you again?"
As she laughed, Lu Xiaoyao's eyes reddened.
I'm so tired, I just want to close my eyes like this.
Even the sunlight directly overhead, obscured by dark clouds, appeared extremely glaring.
Lu Xiaoyao gripped the money bag tightly in her hand.
That was the most important thing to her in the last moments of her life.
Then his eyelids slowly closed.
...
But soon, in her final moments of consciousness, she felt herself fall into a warm embrace, and a pill was put into her mouth.
It's sweet.
In an instant, Lu Xiaoyao felt as if she was filled with strength again. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.
The emperor of the Southern Kingdom—Gu Mu.
He said coldly, "You can't die now. The mission to assassinate the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom failed. If you want to get the antidote, you have to carry out a second mission for me."
"Now you should rest and recover. I'll contact you about the second task in a while."
Gu Mu picked up Lu Xiaoyao and put her in the carriage, where he had a maid he had temporarily bought to take care of her.
Then he drove his own carriage towards the south.
As early as ten days ago,
When Gu Mu had just finished conquering the Eagle Kingdom and renamed it the Southern Kingdom, many court officials who originally belonged to the Eagle Kingdom surrendered.
