Free Web NovelChapter 1753: Chapter 1362: The Consequence of Refusing a Toast but Drinking the Punishment Wine!
Borjigin Nian’s voice, still mixed with sobbing, was indeed due to the pepper smoke overwhelming her!
Upon hearing this, Gadatu deeply admired Borjigin Nian’s profound understanding, instinctively mistaking the sobbing Princess’s actions as touching!
Gadatu, rational as he was, couldn’t help but be a bit conceited!
He truly overthought it!
"Gadatu, you want independence! This is treason! This is a betrayal to Northern Mongolia! You can’t do this! I have the Military Token! I have the Military Token!" Finally coming back to his senses from Gadatu’s words, Borjigin Lvchi, who was squirming continuously on the ground, cried out desperately!
Independence?
How can the Gada Tribe declare independence?
If the Gada Tribe declared independence, wouldn’t Borjigin Lvchi be isolated and without support on the Gada Tribe’s territory?
Borjigin Lvchi glanced around; he had no subordinates left, only a river of blood with scattered limbs, a sight so chilling that it sent a shiver from the heart!
Why?
Why was Borjigin Lvchi still Northern Mongolia’s foremost warrior one moment, and after one envoy trip to Lin Yuan City, he ended up in such a destitute state?
This was a situation he had never even imagined before!
Yet, it happened nonetheless!
What is the reason behind all this?
Borjigin Lvchi shook his head, refusing to accept this reality!
However, whether he accepted it or not, reality often arrives with such cruelty!
"Prince Lvchi, you are mistaken! How can this clan leader be betraying Northern Mongolia? Didn’t this clan leader say that the Gada Tribe respects the king as a king? Whoever becomes the true ruling king of the Borjigin Tribe is our new master whom the Gada Tribe reveres! All this, isn’t it to preserve our Gada Tribe? Moreover, in terms of status, the Princess is the only legitimate princess of Northern Mongolia; her status is naturally much more noble than that of a prince of a collateral line. Since she has already acknowledged this action of the Gada Tribe, on what grounds do you say we are traitors? On what grounds do you say we betray Northern Mongolia?" said Gadatu, lying on the palanquin, turning his head toward Borjigin Lvchi with no courtesy in his tone. This was the person who endangered his Yanmen Pass, who put the Gada Tribe in danger, so how could he be courteous to such a culprit!
Being questioned by Gadatu, Borjigin Lvchi’s blood-stained face alternated between pale and flushed. He opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t know how to respond!
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Gadatu sneered at him, leaned half his body out of the palanquin, looking down at Borjigin Lvchi with a face full of ridicule as he spoke again, "Moreover, regarding Prince Lvchi’s claim of having the Military Token, in this point, I have to admit that the Military Token in your hand is indeed genuine. Otherwise, how could the 300,000 Yanmen Pass Garrison have followed your orders earlier? How could I, as the clan leader, let you direct them around like a spinning top? Not to mention the tasks I undertook on your orders that almost cost me my head, only to speak to the origin of this Military Token in your hand, you and I both know clearly, don’t we? Who is the traitor? Who is the rebel? Prince Lvchi, do I need to speak more clearly?"
Exactly!
He is indeed the treasonous one!
The Military Token in his hand was originally obtained by detaining the Royal City!
Upon hearing this, Borjigin Lvchi’s face instantly turned black!
It’s over!
Everything is over!
Gu Changsheng watched Gadatu pressing Borjigin Lvchi step by step, and couldn’t help but lift a faint smile on his bright face!
The world does not lack those who offer help in the snow, and certainly, there are even more who hit someone when they’re down!
Just like Gadatu at this moment, isn’t he just hitting someone when they’re down, venting his anger, and amusing her at the same time?
This is the reality, always brutally so, everyone will make the choice that benefits them the most!
Undoubtedly, Gadatu is wise!
Breaking free from Borjigin Nian’s arm around his own, Gu Changsheng slowly walked forward, stepping over the pool of blood with a shoe holding a Sky-facing Bead, stopped beside Borjigin Lvchi, and paused...
Borjigin Lvchi felt a shadow enveloping him and instinctively looked up!
He saw Gu Changsheng looking at him with a smile!
This smile made Borjigin Lvchi’s limbs and bones instantly feel like they were in an ice cave...
"Borjigin Lvchi, in the past, the Female Star of the Occupation Room conflicted with Hook Chen, predicting chaos would soon arrive, and the woman who would rule the chaotic times was destined to be in Liuzhou City..." Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Lvchi and slowly spoke, as if lost in memory, his voice calm and steady, "At that time, you suspected it was me who set up the stratagem of luring the tiger away from the mountain; you besieged me by Hengtang Lake with your army..."
"The Hengtang Lake water was stained red with blood. My Ning Er, and dozens of Dead Soldiers under Yue Xilou, fought bloody battles to protect me until death... At that time, I didn’t know who I was, didn’t know I was a royal orphan of the Southern Border, didn’t know I would later become the Emperor of the Southern Country, but everything couldn’t go back, my Ning Er... She was such a vibrant person, silently followed behind me, protected me for more than a few months, but alas, because of you, she turned into a cold corpse..."
"Borjigin Lvchi, Dowager Empress Xiao’s beloved grandson, died at my hands. He offered Liaodong, and only then did I forgive him for causing Ning Er’s death. Sima brothers’ tomb is now overgrown with weeds, Southern Chen is gone. That day, trapped by them, they forced me into a massacre at Hengtang, bloodstained, almost losing my mind. Except for you, everyone else has died. Do you feel lonely?"
At this point, Gu Changsheng let out a low laugh, and when she spoke again, her bright face was as radiant as fire, daring people not to look directly. The pressure of the Southern Emperor released in an instant, making everyone present feel a desire from the depths of their hearts to kneel and submit...
Red Sleeve waved, and the blood-stained sleeve caused a gust of foul wind. Gu Changsheng stood resolutely next to Borjigin Lvchi, and said in a deep voice, "Indeed! I am the person foretold by the Female Star of the Occupation Room, the woman who shall dominate a chaotic world! Wherever I, Gu Changsheng, arrive, chaos ensues. The Four Seas crown kings, the Southern Border is like this, Southern Chen is like this, Liaodong is like this, and Northern Mongolia shall not be spared!"
"With the honor of the Southern Emperor, I accompanied Borjigin Nian here, respecting her filial piety, considering our close friendship, and refraining from great conflict has been my limit! Today, Gadatu was clever, coupled with Borjigin Nian’s pleading. Otherwise, my dagger would’ve been unsheathed, and there would be no returning it. This Yanmen Pass, in my eyes, is nothing. If I wish to take it, it would be as easy as pie!"
At this point, Gu Changsheng lowered her eyes and looked at Borjigin Lvchi huddled on the ground!
At this moment, Borjigin Lvchi was trembling all over with fear, unable to speak!
"As for the death of the Northern Mongolian Envoy Honor Guard, Borjigin Lvchi’s fate, I have but one thing to say: don’t disrespect what is given! This is the consequence of refusing the wine of respect and being forced to drink punishment wine!"
After saying this, Gu Changsheng no longer looked at Borjigin Lvchi. With a flick of the long sleeves, she turned and walked toward the Guesthouse!
"Borjigin Lvchi, between us, new hatred and old grudges, I have said that I would make you live worse than death, so I won’t let you die easily and be freed! Gadatu, find someone to take care of him, I want him to watch with his own eyes, his heart yearning for the Northern Mongolian throne, ultimately to see who claims it!"
As she turned to leave, Gu Changsheng spoke again.
Upon hearing, Gadatu’s expression became somewhat wooden!
Until this moment, he realized why Borjigin Lvchi returned from the mission in such a state, it turns out he and Gu Changsheng had fallen into enmity beforehand...
Offending Gu Changsheng, indeed, leads to an unpleasant end!
As for the Northern Mongolian throne, who will ultimately claim it... Gadatu glanced at the continuously crying Borjigin Nian, and without thinking, he knew the flower would not fall to Borjigin Lvchi’s house, then, would it be this Princess?
Borjigin Nian is a woman, and Northern Mongolia has no precedent of a woman ruling as king!
However, has the world ever had the precedent of a woman ruling as king? Even the iron-blooded Dowager Empress Xiao, who wielded power for decades, was always Empress Dowager, not Emperor Xiao!
But all of this changed when Gu Changsheng, this woman, appeared!
The precedent has been set!
If Gu Changsheng, a woman, can be the emperor, then perhaps Northern Mongolia will also have a Queen someday...
Thinking this from the heart, Gadatu nodded to Gu Changsheng’s back, responding with a yes!
At this moment, he had already announced independence on behalf of the Gada Tribe, could not be dispatched by any worldly power, yet, somehow, before Gu Changsheng, he instinctively chose to obey...
This is a woman with power spanning the world, making people wary, making people fear, and even more making people submit...
Under the gaze of Gadatu and the three hundred thousand Yanmen Pass Garrison soldiers, Gu Changsheng nonchalantly walked to Zhou Mu’s side, placed her hand in Zhou Mu’s extended hand, fingers intertwined, walked forward two steps...
Seeing this, Gadatu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief!
This matter, this unilateral slaughter, is finally over!
Gadatu stared at the hell-like scene of blood flowing into a river before him, unable to help but be in extreme fear!
Fortunately, he made the right choice!
Otherwise, the fate of these people here would have been the fate of him and his tribe!
Just as Gadatu was relaxing, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, under the escort of the Dark Night Army, Gu Changsheng had already reached the top step of the Guesthouse, but suddenly turned back, her water-like eyes looking at Gadatu, saying, "Oh, it seems I forgot something..."
Upon hearing, Gadatu’s heart tightened!
Forgot something?
Godfather!
Could it be that it’s not over yet?
How many more tricks does this Southern Emperor have?
Is this a slaughter obsession, unwilling to stop?
