Chapter 411 Proclamation to Punish the Brown Kingdom

Diao He knows very well who she can and cannot mess with, so even after Diao De's death, she remains arrogant to this day.

[And the girls who were with her, some died, some were injured, and Diao He always managed to find a moment when they were down and out to kick them when they were down.]

[Speaking of fighting poison with poison, Cen Wan indeed used poison to fight poison. Sending this man-eating flower to Qi Yongji's harem to let them fight like dogs was truly a brilliant move.]

The combined destructive power of just these two is immense.

The initial amazement faded from the eyes of the soldiers in the tent, replaced by expressions that were more fascinating than the last.

At this point, however, they did not yet have a true understanding of Diao He's personality.

In the light screen, a young eunuch was kneeling on the ground in a corner of the palace, while Diao He was studying makeup.

She simply drew her eyebrows and applied lip rouge, adding the finishing touches that made her already beautiful appearance even more stunning.

Qi Yongji stretched out his long arm and hugged Diao He: "What are you doing?"

Diao He slammed the rouge box on the table: "Let go! Don't touch me."

Qi Yongji wasn't angry. He let go of her hand, but his gaze remained fixed on her face: "You're in a bad mood today. Who upset you? That little eunuch?"

The little eunuch who was lifted up trembled, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth.

As the light screen swept over him, Zheng Xun and the others noticed that the little eunuch's knees were covered with broken porcelain shards.

“I didn’t like the fabric he sent, and he wouldn’t change it even when I asked him to,” Diao He glared at Qi Yongji. “So I punished him a little. I hope His Majesty won’t think I went too far.”

"as long as you are happy."

"Not only am I happy, he is happy too."

Diao He's disdainful gaze swept over the little eunuch: "He's clearly a steward, yet he insists on personally delivering things to me. I punished him, but he didn't complain at all. Your Majesty, tell me, what does he mean by this?"

She turned around, placed her fingers on Qi Yongji's chest, and raised her eyebrows provocatively.

Qi Yongji's Adam's apple bobbed as he grasped her hand: "My beloved consort, how do you intend to handle this?"

"The thought of being thought of by such a lowly person makes me feel disgusted."

"Then how about we just make him disappear?"

It was clearly a matter of life and death, yet their tone was so casual, as if they were just brushing away a speck of dust.

This is what the powerful and privileged are like.

Diao He's gaze shifted to the young eunuch: "What do you think?"

The young eunuch, pale-faced, kowtowed without hesitation: "Whatever you wish for me, I will do."

Holy crap, was he really being sincere?

[Fine, fine, so one party is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit, right?]

Qi Yongji didn't get angry even though he watched his concubine being coveted by a young eunuch.

It can't be that he's actually fallen in love with Diao He, can it?

"That's impossible. If it were true love, how could there not be jealousy?"

Zheng Xun withdrew his gaze: "But we can't give Qi Yongji that opportunity. If we really clash, it's hard to say whether they will restrain the He family army or the He family army will restrain them."

While everyone else was still focused on the light screen and Zheng Xun's thoughts, she had changed the subject, but the others hadn't.

So no one responded to her.

Zheng Jiao, with his seasoned experience, asked, "So, how does Your Highness intend to restrain him?"

In the light screen, Diao He seemed to have thought of something amusing: "How about we beat him to death?"

"According to your."

Zheng Xun leaned down, looking at Liaozhou City on the sand table: "Who do you think Qi Yongji will send to attack Liaozhou?"

"Murong Ze! It must be Murong Ze. He's quite smart. If he just wants to stall us, he'll definitely need to use a scheme. He's the most suitable candidate."

In the light screen, the little eunuch was dragged away silently.

"Wait," Diao He said with a sweet smile, "I want to hear his screams."

Qi Yongji was incredibly tolerant: "I'm just afraid of dirtying your place."

"Then find me somewhere else to stay. I'm tired of this palace anyway."

"According to your."

Outside the light screen, some people raised different opinions.

"Then why can't it be Zhang Pu? Zhang Pu is well-versed in military strategy, has experienced many wars, and has also clashed with us. He is a general from the Brown Kingdom who is relatively familiar with the He family army."

"That Zhang Pu is so rigid and inflexible, he's completely out of his mind. You expect him to hold the line?"

"Why couldn't it be Mo Sheng?"

"Mo Sheng is in Xizhou!"

“He has legs, he won’t stay in Xizhou forever.”

"It would be a waste of his talents to have him guard Chongyan Pass."

"Who knows? No matter how talented Mo Sheng is, he still needs to be of one mind with Qi Yongji. If Qi Yongji doesn't trust him, how can he trust him to work with him?"

"If you really don't believe it, wouldn't it be even more unsettling to send Liaozhou here? Qi Yongji isn't afraid that Mo Sheng might release the He family army into the He Kingdom in a fit of anger."

Inside and outside the light curtain, two worlds.

Inside the light screen, screams mingled with laughter from men and women, while outside the screen, a chaotic commotion erupted, with some even throwing punches.

The scene was quite lively.

He Wuyu coughed lightly, intending to remind them to be mindful of their image.

Your Highness is still here.

But clearly, the others were too engrossed in their argument to notice her hint.

He Wuyu had no choice but to raise his voice: "What brilliant idea does Your Highness have?"

Zheng Jiao glared at her fiercely: "Why are you being so fierce?"

He Wuyu's voice immediately lowered: "Where?"

Who is she? And who is Zheng Xun?

How could she dare to yell at her!

Zheng Jiao's expression softened: "Let's get down to business."

Just then, the others quieted down after hearing what He Wuyu had just said.

Zheng Xun tapped the table: "I thought it would be Murong Ze. As far as I know, the people of the Brown Kingdom see this opportunity as a huge pie in the sky. You also know that Murong Ze is narrow-minded and doesn't get along well with others, so they will definitely unite to push Murong Ze to Chongyan Pass, which is in opposition to Liaozhou City."

"But Murong Ze won't just sit here and wait to die, will he?"

"Perhaps it was his way of going with the flow. As you know, the most abundant grass around here is iron wire grass, but most of the warhorses of the Brown Kingdom cannot adapt to this kind of grass. Murong Ze has been collecting iron wire grass recently, probably to get the warhorses used to the grass, in preparation for the war with the He family army."

Although Qi Yongji's arrangements cannot be directly seen through the sky screen, they can still be corroborated indirectly.

[It's just too difficult; the daily connection time between the light screen and the Brown Kingdom is also very limited.]

"Murong Ze... this person is quite troublesome."

Many in the Brown Kingdom are skilled at attacking cities, but Murong Ze is the most skilled at defending them.

Once he conquers a city, he has the ability to secure it.

If he were to guard Chongyan Pass, which is opposite Liaozhou City, then it would be difficult to attack.

He Wuyu suddenly said, "Could it be that Murong Ze has already entered Chongyan Pass?"

"I estimate there are about ten days left."

"Does Your Highness intend to take Chongyan Pass within these ten days?"

"Correct!"

“I have already written to Che Zhong’an, asking him to write a proclamation against the He Kingdom. Since the He Kingdom dares to set foot in Haiyang County, they should not blame us for fighting back.”

As for the fact that the Brown Kingdom's army was unable to land at all, that's unimportant and doesn't need to be mentioned.

Zheng Xun's resolute gaze swept over the crowd: "Now, we have the support of the people, the righteous cause, weapons, and well-stocked granaries. Do you all have the courage to fight?"
