Martial arts of the heavens, I am unstoppable since I was born

Chapter 194 The Empress Surrenders, Bait (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"What did you say?"

The complacency on the empress's face melted away like ice and snow, and her eyes were filled with fear. She seemed to realize the problem.

"What I want is for this stagnant world to be thrown into chaos, and for the emperor chosen by Yuan Tiangang to be unable to 'inherit the throne' in a natural way. This means that Qi will attack other countries and achieve great things, or other countries will besiege Qi and harbor ambitions.

It makes no difference to me.”

Zhang Kuang sat beside the empress again, untied her, patted her face and said:
"You misjudged one thing from the very beginning. In troubled times, people are as insignificant as grass. Yet, in this age of insignificance, you vainly attempt to stop war with peaceful actions. This, coupled with the neglect of military preparations, will only lead to war."

"You lunatic!" The empress did not act beyond her ability, but quickly deduced the future with her chest heaving. Sadly, she found that if she allowed this counterfeit to do whatever he wanted, ambitious people would probably take advantage of the situation. By then, the people of Qi would be boiling with resentment, and with a large army approaching from outside, the twenty states would be engulfed in war in an instant. Even if there were loyal people, most of the territory would be lost.

The people are living in misery and suffering everywhere!
"What good will chaos do you? Those innocent people..."

"Born in troubled times is a sin in itself. Having the strength to put down your sword because of a moment of weakness is even more of a sin. Either listen to me and revitalize Qi State, and one day rise up in Qishan and rule the world as the second female emperor. Or stay by my side and watch Qi State fall into chaos, becoming fodder for others' ambitions."

What the empress wanted to say was suddenly blocked in her mouth, and her face became more and more desperate - the geographical location of Qi State was really wonderful, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was surrounded by wolves.

Especially the neighboring King of Jin, Li Keyong. This man is shrewd and ambitious. He has been making alliances for many years. Once he makes a move, the enemy will be killed. If he gets a chance, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The empress bit her lips tightly, and the blood beads seeped out into her mouth. The bitter smell of blood echoed in her mouth, and she finally closed her eyes unwillingly.

Whether it's going well or badly, Qi will inevitably undergo a major change in style and become a hot topic of concern for all nations. To maintain stability, they must diligently improve their military preparations without even the slightest delay...

As her expression changed, the empress slowly relaxed and said with a sad look, "I understand. I will help you from now on. I just hope that the Qi Kingdom will not be destroyed by me in the future."

After all, she is still the cold-blooded king. She chooses the lesser of two evils. Compared to the war spreading to Qi State, she would rather take the initiative to start a war, not to expand the territory, but only to maintain the basic base.

"To do great things is either a great success or a great failure. Hesitation will only lead to missed opportunities. I'm here, so don't worry too much, just give it a try."

Zhang Kuang laughed loudly, but did not let Ah Zhu remove her disguise. Instead, he asked her to serve him with her disguised face.

This undoubtedly angered the empress.

But even if Zhang Kuang was distracted at this time, she neither dared nor could she attack Zhang Kuang.

The reason she didn't dare was because Zhang Kuang was so powerful that the Empress wasn't completely sure. She was also certain that the other party must be relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, guarding against her sudden attack.
It can't be because of Zhang Kuang's bad temper. Once he is angered, the only choice left for her is to watch Qi State become a scorched earth.

"I'll go and arrange the military preparations and discuss matters..." The empress stood up and was about to leave.

But Zhang Kuang grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side. "Qi State's military preparations have been slack for years. There's no time to rush. Come, let me see your feet..."

……

……

Things have changed in Qi State.

The Qi Kingdom, previously a nation of weaklings and relying solely on the Huanyinfang assassins to intimidate the outside world, suddenly began a large-scale military training program, recruiting young men from respectable families from all over the country. Furthermore, the trainer was a woman who suddenly appeared. Her surname was Huang Rong. Wielding a green jade staff, she defeated the most arrogant and powerful generals in the army, subduing them with her feminine form. Her military tactics were outstanding, and with just a few moves, she wiped out the minions of various nations who tried to attack her. At the same time, Huanyinfang, once struggling, released many hidden masters. Their appearance unleashed a bloody storm on the martial arts world, and three of them even earned terrifying reputations:
"The White Rainbow Demon Concubine" Li Qiushui.

"The Red-Snake Witch" Li Mochou.

"Purple-Robed Dragon King" Daiqisi.

Even Bai Wuchang, Ji Ruxue and Lu Linxuan, who were previously unknown, have emerged with their strength as great stars.

Such a sudden change in style naturally aroused suspicion from all parties, but their minions who were testing the waters openly were used by Huang Rong for training, and the assassins they sent out secretly were dealt with quietly. For a while, they didn't know what to do.

It was not until a letter was nailed to the headboard of the bed when the princes of various countries woke up one day that they broke out in cold sweats and began to think of taking action.

The letter was very brief, and could even be considered an order that could not be refused:
"On the sixth day of October, come to Zangbing Valley."

The signature is "Buliang Shuai".

No one dares to refuse the "invitation" from Buliang Shuai!
……

……

Hidden soldiers in the valley.

The androgynous Shangguan Yunque followed the Bad Commander with a fawning look on his face. Noticing Li Xingyun's gloomy expression, he mustered up the courage to ask the Bad Commander in front of him:
"General, isn't it too ostentatious for us to openly summon people to the Hidden Weapon Valley? If that little thief knew about this, it would be detrimental to this matter... Of course, with the General in charge of the Hidden Weapon Valley, he certainly wouldn't dare to attack, but I'm worried that he might attack the kings who come to the Hidden Weapon Valley."

"The kings are not stupid. Qi State has changed its previous style and started to prepare for war. These people have their own plans. They will definitely not come in person. They will use this as an excuse to send some people who can be justified."

"Furthermore, he dares to use Qi Country as his fishing ground and Huanyinfang as bait to lure me in. Why can't I set a trap and invite him to the Cangbing Valley?"

The voice came through the mask, and the originally confident tone was tinged with the clang of metal, resounding and powerful.

Shangguan Yunque's face suddenly turned pale upon hearing this, and he was so shocked that he stuttered: "Invite, invite him to come to Cangbing Valley?"

It’s over, the Marshal is crazy?
Or is it that I’m old and have a bad memory, and I forgot the last time my arm was broken?

"Well, well, Marshal, why don't you think about it again? After all, this guy doesn't look like he's alone... Oh yes, we haven't found any information about those women either. They all appeared out of thin air just like that little thief." Shangguan Yunque wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Yuan Tiangang looking back at him, he immediately changed the subject.

"Why don't we capture those women and bring them to the Hidden Soldiers Valley as a deterrent?"

"can."

Yuan Tiangang only hoped that things would develop in the way he wanted and did not care about the means. Although he knew that these women were baits thrown by Zhang Kuang, he still took the bait.

What if we can really catch one and extract some insane information from him?
