Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Even in death, he held the imperial seal and tiger tally tightly in his hands.

Li Yunsheng hadn't intended to kill Wei Wenyu in public, but since the other party had chosen his own path to death, he couldn't blame himself.

His gaze swept over the bewildered archers on the city wall and the dumbfounded 'ambush troops' inside the city gate.

"The State of Wei has fallen; those who surrender will not be killed!"

Beside him, hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.

Those who surrender will not be killed!

Even some of the original surrendered soldiers from Weiguo couldn't help but shout along.

As a result, he was glared at by the person next to him, and his voice quieted down.

But then, as the wave of voices swept across the land, more and more of the surrendered soldiers from Weiguo raised their arms in agreement.

On the city wall, a bow was thrown down.

Once the first one was made, the second, the third... came quickly.

Clang, clang, clang...

Inside the city gate, swords lay scattered on the ground.

Soon, the roadside was filled with weapons.

Amid the shouts, Li Yunsheng turned to look at Wei Xiang on horseback beside him.

At this moment, the bloodstains at the corner of Wei Xiang's mouth had been wiped clean, and she only uttered three words.

"Can't die."

Behind the horse's rump.

After recovering from the shock, Liu Quan got up from the ground.

He rubbed his backside as he climbed onto the horse that originally belonged to Wei Xiang, muttering to himself.

"Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"

Li Yunsheng raised his arm, and the shouting stopped.

As he waved his arm forward, Xiahou Xun shouted.

"Let's go into town!"

Chapter 85 Fulfilling the Bet

Just as the army entered the city, a system notification sounded in Li Yunsheng's mind.

Congratulations on achieving the feat of destroying a nation!

[You've obtained a revival card!]

Li Yunsheng froze on the saddle.

Achieving the goal of destroying a nation is an unexpected bonus, but what's with the resurrection card?

This isn't a game world, how could I possibly be resurrected after dying?

Moreover, no resurrection card appeared in his hand.

Instead, it transformed into specks of blue starlight, merging into his blood.

As the Qi flowed, Li Yunsheng did not feel any change.

He did not interfere in the matter of the army's surrender, leaving it entirely to Xiahou Xun.

His main purpose in coming this time was to find Wenren Xu.

Furthermore, while on the way, transport the entire treasury of Wei State and the internal treasury of Wei Wenyu back to Great Chu.

The Imperial Observatory.

Wenren Xu neither surrendered outside the city nor fled.

Instead, they simply sat in the Imperial Observatory, waiting for the results.

Then, three people arrived.

Led by a secret agent from the Great Chu, Li Yunsheng stepped into the Bureau of Astronomy.

Since learning of Wenren Xu's identity, the Great Chu has also infiltrated the Imperial Observatory.

Soon, Li Yunsheng saw the man sitting cross-legged beside the chessboard.

Wenren Xu looked up, and the two locked eyes.

"I didn't expect you to come in person."

He had seen portraits of Li Yunsheng, so he knew the identity of the person in front of him at a glance.

Li Yunsheng walked to the opposite side of the chessboard and sat cross-legged there as well.

They sat down and reminisced like old friends.

"I'm worried about your health; I don't think you'll make it to the Great Chu."

Cough cough--

Wenren Xu coughed twice as if it were the right occasion.

"Prime Minister Li is truly meticulous."

With that, he placed the black piece.

The original owner was also skilled in chess, and Li Yunsheng played white.

"With your physique, I don't think I need to lift a finger, do I?"

Wenren Xu was a smart man, and he naturally knew why Li Yunsheng had come specifically to find him.

"Two questions. If Prime Minister Li is willing to enlighten me, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

"explain."

How did you detoxify yourself?

The fact that he poisoned her was no secret between the two of them.

Therefore, he had no reservations and directly raised the question in his mind.

There was no antidote for the poison he administered.

Li Yunsheng raised his head and looked directly at Wenren Xu.

"What a coincidence! I have an ancestral antidote pill that can cure all poisons. Do you believe it or not?"

Wenren Xu wanted to say he didn't believe it, but he couldn't think of any other answer besides this one.

In other words, he had no choice but to believe it.

"My second question is, how did you know that the Western Zhou Dynasty would experience a severe drought this year?"

This was a problem that had been troubling him, and something he couldn't understand.

These actions clearly demonstrate that Li Yunsheng was quite certain that a large-scale drought would occur in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, he really couldn't understand how the other party could have known the future.

Li Yunsheng raised his hand and made a pinching motion with his fingers.

"I also know that this severe drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty will last for three years."

"Could it be that there really is a way to glimpse the secrets of heaven?"

Li Yunsheng smiled.

"This is the third question."

In fact, he had come into contact with the art of prying into the secrets of heaven, such as Duan Yun of Jingming Mountain.

However, he didn't know whether what Duan Yun said was true or false.

"It's my turn to ask. I want all the spies you have in your possession."

Wenren Xu took a booklet from under the chessboard and handed it out with both hands.

"I've worked hard for decades, but I never imagined it would all be for your benefit."

Since entering the Bureau of Astronomy, Li Yunsheng has been using his innate skill to constantly monitor Wenren Xu's emotional changes.

If Wenren Xu obediently hands over what he wants, then he won't have wasted a hypnosis card.

"Is this all?"

Wenren Xu nodded.

"The list, and all the dirt on these people, is on it."

"What do you plan to do with Su Wanwan?"

The Wei Kingdom's spies in the capital of the Great Chu were almost completely wiped out, with only a few escaping.

When the Imperial Guards made the arrests, they did not close the city gates, deliberately leaving them a way out.

To be precise, it was leaving Su Wanwan a way out.

However, all those who escaped, except for Su Wanwan, were killed by Wenren Xu.

Li Yunsheng then realized that his little trick had been seen through.

However, he didn't know what Wenren Xu was planning to do by keeping Su Wanwan around.

Wenren Xu conceded defeat by throwing his pieces.

"I was originally going to send her to Northern Qi, but consider this my parting gift to you."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

This was the first and last time the two met.

One parting, and it's goodbye forever.
