Before Commander Zhang could finish, the inkstone fell at his feet and shattered.
Commander Zhang was secretly shocked. If Emperor Ling Hui had been a little calmer just now and hit his head, his life would have ended that day.
Emperor Ling Hui cursed, “A bunch of trash! Where’s Nine Heavens?! Don’t tell me that he was killed by that kid!”
Commander Zhang braced himself and said, “He’s severely injured. He is waiting for me to return with the updates so that we can get Your Majesty’s instructions.”
Emperor Ling Hui was so angry that he almost laughed. In the blink of an eye, he roared, “He’s even more arrogant than me, right!”
Commander Zhang was almost deafened by his voice and hurriedly interrupted, “Your Majesty, it’s not that we can’t stop them, but tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared. All of them even have shockingly lethal firearms in their hands. We had already surrounded Young General and Noble Consort Ling for three days. When they arrived, we couldn’t fight back at all.”
Emperor Ling Hui’s eyes widened. “A firearm with shocking lethality and can’t fight back at all?”
Commander Zhang hurriedly took out the bullet wrapped in a handkerchief and carefully presented it. “This was fired from one of the firearms. Commander Nine Heavens was injured by it.”
Emperor Ling Hui picked up the bullet. He could not imagine how this iron thing, which was not even the size of a thumb, could injure the number one martial artist, Nine Heavens.
He frowned. “What does the other firearm look like?”
Commander Zhang said, “There’s another weapon that’s like a club. It’s dozens of times more powerful than gunpowder. It blew a huge hole in the army led by General Zeng effortlessly, allowing Young General to escape.”
Emperor Linghui lowered his eyes. Gu Chilie had actually hidden such a powerful weapon for so many years.
He even instigated his son to abduct his wife.
‘Well, he’s capable! Very capable!’
Emperor Ling Hui clenched his fists, his veins bulging.
The imperial study was suddenly pindrop silent, like a precursor to a storm.
Commander Zhang was suddenly afraid that he would not be able to walk out of the imperial study after saying what he had to say.
Seeing his constipated expression, Emperor Ling Hui scolded, “If you have something to say, spit it out!”
Commander Zhang took a deep breath and told the truth.
“Your Majesty, we also found out a little information.”
Emperor Ling Hui looked at him with a fierce expression.
Commander Zhang’s heart trembled. He accepted his fate and said, “The southern frontier has rebelled and established a place called Carefree Kingdom. The empress is Young General’s wife.”
When Emperor Ling Hui heard that the southern frontier had rebelled, he thought that Gu Chilie must have rebelled.
Unexpectedly, he heard the strange saying that the empress was the young general’s wife.
Emperor Ling Hui had a ferocious expression on his face as if he was joking. Commander Zhang shrank his neck. “I was in a hurry to return to report, so this is all I heard. The commander should still be sending a message back for the exact situation.”
It took Emperor Ling Hui a long time to confirm that Commander Zhang was not spouting nonsense.
Gu Chilie did not become the emperor, and Chu Tianbao did not become the emperor. Instead, his wife became the emperor.
What the f*ck was going on!
How did a woman like her become the emperor? She even made the proud Gu Chilie listen to her and subdued his eldest son, who did not get close to women. Could she be a local tribal woman from the southern frontier?
Because they had created a weapon with astonishing lethality, they led the tribe to subdue them.
If Gu Chilie had a lethal weapon long ago, the throne under his butt would have changed ownership long ago.
Emperor Ling Hui frowned and looked at Commander Zhang sharply. “Who is that woman?”
Commander Zhang had just said that this was all he had found out. He cried, “I don’t know either. Before 1 returned, I sent someone to ask around, but they all went and never returned. Their weapons are really too powerful. They can shoot from hundreds of meters away.”
Emperor Ling Hui was shocked that their weapon could be shot from hundreds of meters away.
If this woman had the ambition to dominate the Central Plains, wouldn’t the entire Ling Kingdom be easily taken over?
He had given up his promise to stay with the person he loved in exchange for only a few years of the throne.
Emperor Ling Hui suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. If that was the case, wouldn’t he become the greatest joke among the previous emperors?
Emperor Ling Hui slammed the table. “When will there be a letter from Nine Heavens?”
Commander Zhang’s scalp went numb. “I don’t know either.”
Emperor Ling Hui cursed, “You don’t know either. You’re extremely stupid. What’s the use of me keeping you!”
Commander Zhang hurriedly lay down. “I’m incompetent. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
He had never thought that he could return unscathed that day.
Just as Emperor Ling Hui was about to send him to receive a hundred military beatings, he suddenly instructed, “Don’t reveal anything about the southern frontier. Go and find someone who has just returned from the southern frontier to find out the identity of that woman!”
There was actually no need to be punished. Commander Zhang looked incredulous and said excitedly, “Yes, 1 accept the order!”
Commander Zhang secretly asked around about the people who had returned from the southern frontier.
The journey to the southern frontier was long. As long as a few of them returned, everyone had a deep impression of them.
Commander Zhang quickly found out that Qu Liangyu’s parents had just returned from the southern frontier.
Commander Zhang was overjoyed. He immediately went to the Qu family and tied Madam Qu and Qu Yuanxian up in front of Emperor Ling Hui.
They had suddenly arrived in front of the emperor.
Madam Qu trembled in fear. On the other hand, Qu Yuanxian was braver and he kept his back straight.
Emperor Ling Hui was not afraid that they would reveal anything, so he directly took out Chu Tianbao’s portrait. “Have you seen this person?”
Madam Qu looked up and widened her eyes. She was about to say something when she was stopped by Qu Yuanxian’s light cough.
Emperor Ling Hui did not have much hope at first. After all, the southern frontier was not small.
Unexpectedly, Madam Qu’s expression clearly showed that she knew Chu Tianbao and was abnormally familiar with him.
Emperor Ling Hui’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. With a whoosh, the sharp sword was placed on Qu Yuanxian’s neck.
Madam Qu immediately cried, “Emperor, please spare us. I know this person. He’s the dead Young General. He disappeared before we left the southern frontier.”
Chu Tianbao was probably already on the way to save Noble Consort Ling at that time.
Emperor Ling Hui asked in a low voice, “Why did the southern frontier fall into the hands of a woman?”
Madam Qu was stunned for a moment and instantly thought of Bai Wutong. She cried, “Marshal Gu rebelled and Young General is missing, so those people listen to her. We don’t want to listen to her, so we came back from the southern frontier.”
Emperor Ling Hui asked again, “Who is she? What’s her identity?”
Madam Qu received the signal from Qu Yuanxian to stop talking, but the emperor’s sword was on his neck.
She still had a son. Why should she die for Bai Wutong?
Madam Qu replied nervously, “Her name is Bai Wutong. We don’t know her exact identity either. We only know that Young General is very infatuated with her. She probably saved Young General when he went missing and he married her.”
“Bai Wutong? From the Central Plains?”
Madam Qu hurriedly nodded. “Yes.”
Emperor Ling Hui suddenly asked coldly, “Then how did you meet her?”
