Chapter 1750: Chapter 1359: I Want You to Live a Life Worse Than Death!
At this moment, perhaps all the Northern Mongolian People have yet to fully understand, but the citizens and garrison of Yanmen Pass, who witnessed firsthand the bloody slaughter by the Southern Emperor Changsheng, truly and genuinely realized who exactly had descended upon Northern Mongolia!
What does the presence of the Southern Emperor mean!
"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her for me!"
Cowering on the ground, wriggling like a maggot, Borjigin Lvchi kept shouting desperately. However, the three hundred thousand Yanmen Pass Garrison standing austerely before him all watched the red-clad, proud woman, their eyes filled with shock, as if they hadn’t heard Borjigin Lvchi’s voice, responding not at all, let alone taking action!
Kill her?
Kill the Southern Emperor?
Heh...
Perhaps, the three hundred thousand troops, like moths to a flame, could entrap her to death, but what then?
When the Nine Layers of the Celestial Tome descended, though the flames of war hadn’t spread to Northern Mongolia, the former scenario of the Four Kingdoms vying for supremacy had changed; Southern Chen was gone, and Liaodong, before the Southern Country’s army arrived, voluntarily showed its allegiance!
They had forgotten how immense their fear and unease were at that time!
Even the safe crossing of that catastrophe had made them complacent, forgetting how terrifying the Southern Country’s army was, how much they dreaded the Witch Gu Clan...
Kill Gu Changsheng?
Perhaps, when she came alone, under the siege of their army, there might be a slim chance, but afterwards?
If they gambled on that slim chance to kill Gu Changsheng, what would they face?
Would they be met with a desperate counterattack from the Southern Country’s army and Great Zhou’s forces?
In the past, when the four kingdoms opposed each other, the forces were evenly matched; they, Northern Mongolia, still had the strength to engage one kingdom. But now, facing the combined might of the former Four Kingdoms of the Central Plains, what do they have to resist with?
What right do they have to resist?
If they tear it apart, what’s left will only be devastation and suffering for the people of Northern Mongolia...
"Kill her! Kill her! I have a Military Token! I have a Military Token! The command is as immovable as a mountain, I want you to kill her! Kill her for me!"
Borjigin Lvchi dared not look back, although his neck was the only part of his body that could still move freely, yet he didn’t dare, didn’t dare to look back!
But he continued to shout desperately, mustering all his strength to throw the token from his sleeve pocket a foot forward. He was a cripple, and that foot of distance was the utmost he could manage!
He could no longer be a brave warrior of Northern Mongolia!
At this moment, Borjigin Lvchi realized how utterly useless he had become. Clearly, he should be issuing commands from a lofty position, yet all he could do was cringe on the ground, humbly looking up to his troops, lacking any of the authority one of higher rank should possess!
He wanted to go back!
He wanted to return alive to the Royal City!
The person behind him would surely save him, that person was so powerful, with abilities reaching the heavens! That person had promised that as long as he returned, he would be saved!
"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her for me! This is a military order! Military order!"
The desperate cries, like a stone sinking into the sea, brought no response beyond a slight ripple caused by the sound!
The Military Token was issued, the command as immovable as a mountain, yet the Yanmen Pass Garrison standing densely before Borjigin Lvchi did not move...
They didn’t move because they were soldiers!
However, the citizens of Yanmen Pass in the distance could no longer hold back and began to plead!
"Don’t deploy troops! Don’t deploy troops! No matter how you fight, how the Royal City is in chaos, it has nothing to do with us! We just want to live peacefully, no war!"
"No war! We just want to live!"
"Don’t deploy troops! No war..."
To the ordinary people, who becomes Emperor doesn’t matter as much, nor do they care about power struggles; all they seek is peace and prosperity!
Even if those in power tear the heavens apart, as long as it doesn’t affect them, what does it have to do with them?
These words might seem disrespectful, but they are certainly realistic!
Hearing these words, Borjigin Lvchi felt a chill in his heart!
Yet, behind him, Gu Changsheng was still lurking menacingly, and he couldn’t retreat!
His Envoy Honor Guard, his confidants, were all dead. Not one was left!
Apart from these three hundred thousand Yanmen Pass garrison, he had no more support!
He wanted to live!
He needed the qualification to contend with Gu Changsheng to survive!
No one understood better than him, he and Gu Changsheng had deep grievances, and without support, there was no way he could survive!
"Borjigin Lvchi, do you know why everyone else could die so swiftly, so blissfully, and yet you are still alive?" Gu Changsheng looked at the prostrate, writhing Borjigin Lvchi, a sharp arc tugging at the corner of her mouth, speaking in a low voice, "Because their deaths were too straightforward, too blissful, and you are not worthy of that!"
Saying this, Gu Changsheng pointed a long finger at Borjigin Lvchi, continuing in a deep voice, "Because, I seek revenge for my Ning Er, for the dozens of dead soldiers of Bright Moon Tower! I want you to live, living humbly and lowly like an ant! I want you to wish you were dead!"
Upon hearing this, Borjigin Lvchi shook his head frantically, his face stained with blood pooling on the ground, trembling lips, and teeth, "No! No! You wouldn’t dare! I have the King of Northern Mongolia! I have the King of Northern Mongolia in my hand! You wouldn’t dare!"
"What am I afraid of?" Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, immediately waved her long sleeves and pointed around, arrogantly saying, "As long as you dare to start a war first, I will have a reason to trample Northern Mongolia with my horses! Borjigin Nian cares for the King of Northern Mongolia, but if you think about it, Borjigin Lvchi, what does the life or death of the King of Northern Mongolia have to do with me?"
"When my Southern Country’s army tramples Northern Mongolia, the vast prairies of Northern Mongolia, these endless thousands of miles of grazing lands and cattle, will all be in my grasp. I may not be able to save the King of Northern Mongolia, but I can become the King of Northern Mongolia myself!"
Indeed!
How could they forget, she is the Southern Emperor, she rose from the Southern Border, slaughtered Southern Chen, and in the blink of an eye, her territory covered eighty percent of the Central Plains!
If she wants Northern Mongolia, it truly is like reaching out to take something from a bag!
"No! No! Don’t make any move! Don’t fight! Borjigin Lvchi, you cannot harm us! You cannot harm our Northern Mongolia!"
"Traitor! You traitor! Betraying us is one thing, but you want to kill us, we will fight you!"
"Kill him! Kill this traitor!"
"Harming our Northern Mongolia, kill him!"
"..."
As they heard Gu Changsheng once again threatening to trample Northern Mongolia, the Yanmen Pass Garrison stood motionless, but in the distance, the citizens gathered outside began to become agitated!
Intense fear, panic at the impending chaos of war, instantly engulfed the people of Yanmen Pass!
No!
They don’t want war!
Because this is fundamentally a war with no chance of winning!
Even if, in the end, the Southern Emperor is besieged and dies in Yanmen Pass, what difference does it make?
When the Southern Country’s army arrives for revenge, what awaits them besides war and death?
Calamity!
Kill the person who wants to harm Northern Mongolia!
"Gu Changsheng, you cannot! These are my people, you cannot do this! Even if for me, for the friendship we had where we fought alongside each other, please, quell your anger and stop the war..." Borjigin Nian’s eyes were reddened from the peppers, looking like a red-eyed rabbit, finally found the chance to speak again.
Hearing this voice, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly!
"Southern Emperor, stop the war and quell your anger! Even if for the sake of our Legitimate Princess! Please, stop the war and quell your anger!"
"Stop the war and quell your anger!"
"Stop the war and quell your anger!"
"..."
Hearing Borjigin Nian’s words and seeing her tear-streaked, sincere face, the onlooking crowd in the distance began to stir again!
For a moment, the name of the Legitimate Princess echoed from the lips of the citizens of Yanmen Pass!
Listening to the shouts of "Legitimate Princess" from all sides, Gu Changsheng’s long eyelashes dropped slightly, the corners of her mouth lifting into a faint smile...
Looking at Borjigin Nian, who was clinging tightly to her waist, sobbing uncontrollably, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth!
Damn, hugging so tight!
Almost strangling her!
At this moment, what was in Borjigin Nian’s mind was, damn, the pepper smelled so strong it almost killed her, her eyes and nose hurt...
However, they found comfort in that they achieved their desired outcome!
Public sentiment?
This thing called public sentiment is very peculiar!
It seems useless at ordinary times, but when it truly threatens the survival of the people, it can indeed overturn a boat, as it is now, the triple chanting, all reverentially referring to Borjigin Nian as the Legitimate Princess, constantly yelling to attack and kill Borjigin Lvchi...
Gu Changsheng curled her lips; indeed, public sentiment is also easy to utilize, just like how whoever provides them with peace and prosperity becomes their king!
And what she had to do was help Borjigin Nian leverage this seemingly useless public sentiment!
The effect was excellent!
Gu Changsheng was very satisfied!
Especially seeing Borjigin Lvchi so embarrassed made Gu Changsheng even more satisfied!
What can be more exhilarating than watching your enemy live a life worse than death?
Such a toad daring to covet her dear Borjigin Nian, he should look in a mirror; he needs to have the destiny to reach for such things first, doesn’t he?
However, for now, the situation was somewhat at an impasse!
Gu Changsheng looked at the 300,000-strong Yanmen Pass Garrison standing opposite, motionless, and seeing them as countless as ants, their numbers truly couldn’t be counted!
Borjigin Lvchi’s Military Token had already been issued; as soldiers, they follow orders as absolute. Although they hadn’t moved yet, how would this matter be resolved after all?
