"The Soul-Snatching Incense Gu... seems to be made by Miss Zhili, right?"
"Yes, you know that cousin Lin is afraid of insect poison. Zhili gave her this thing to train her to inherit this way. Although she had no choice but to accept it, she was actually scared to death... Since I saw it, of course I helped, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today..." Shui Menghan said casually, "The soul-snatching fragrance poison needs to be contained in the Chengjin sachet. This sachet is more useful. I will use a little magic to help Xiao Lang break through Zhaodu. It won't be a problem."
Hearing this, Xiaoya fell into deep thought. After a pause, she said, "Ziyi, a word cannot break the city."
"You've made progress, little girl. You've reacted so quickly..." Hearing her words, Shui Menghan smiled, "One word can't break a city, but those women in the harem can. They are scheming, but they are ultimately mediocre and weak! The Zhao army won't be shaken by one word, but they can!"
"This is also what makes me laugh the most about Young Emperor Zhao—he accepted such a group of mediocre women with ulterior motives into the palace. That's not all. Those mediocre women are always fighting and wasting their time in the palace. Not only does he not judge them, but he is obsessed with his self-proclaimed "checks and balances", thinking that he can conquer those scheming women with his power and charm... It's simply, it makes me laugh to death."
After a pause, Shui Menghan showed a trace of disdain in her eyes, picked up the teacup and said: "It is understandable for any emperor to enrich the harem, but looking through the harem, there is no loyal woman, no virtuous woman, and no chaste woman. This also opened my eyes... It's ridiculous that Emperor Zhao still thought that under his "clever" means, the harem was harmonious... Little did he know that he was about to become a puppet of those scheming women! I can be sure that even if Emperor Zhao died in front of them at this moment, they would not have the leisure to shed a real tear, but would seize the time to fight for power and support their own sons to ascend the throne... Using power to conquer, the final result is just intrigue and deception!"
"He is a demon concubine who runs rampant in the harem, and he is complacent and thinks he is invincible... How can such a person be qualified to fight for the hegemony of Shenzhou? Only small countries like Yan, Tang, and Wei will take him seriously... But in my opinion, he will cause trouble within his family sooner or later. This time, he just added fuel to the fire, making it easier for him to put it out."
Hearing this, Xiaoya also understood. She nodded heavily and said, "The capital of Zhao State is as solid as a rock. The fall of the city was caused by the concubines in the harem!"
"That's right," Shui Menghan smiled lightly, and then raised her head slightly: "Zhao Capital should be in chaos now. If this city is taken, it will be like cutting off an arm of Emperor Zhao... What we need to worry about is the counterattack of his group of fierce generals and counselors. It's strange that these people are loyal to such a weak person... But, it doesn't matter. With them, they can't defeat Xiao Lang."
"Well... My dear, everything should be stable now. I can leave now without any worries..."
As Shui Menghan spoke, determination gradually appeared in her eyes. She turned to Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, pack up. We have to hurry."
"Ziyi, where are you going?" Xiaoya obviously knew what Shui Menghan wanted to do. "Well, although what you want to do is... tacitly approved, it's too difficult... China is so big, it's not easy to find someone, and..."
Before she finished speaking, Shui Menghan said without hesitation: "Let's go to Da Zhou, Kyoto first."
"Great Zhou Capital? Why is it there?" Xiaoya was puzzled, but Shui Menghan's eyes were sharp: "No reason..."
"This is just my intuition."
…
…
Just as Shui Menghan expected, Zhao capital was in chaos.
When the brocade bag in Yu Miaomiao's hand was opened, countless golden rays of light shot out from it, dispersing into light spots and penetrating into the bodies of everyone... the chaos in this city began.
The more you miss something, the more you don't want to lose it. The soul-snatching incense is based on this principle. It induces people to constantly recall the good things in life, and then amplifies the fear that may happen in the future, filling people's hearts, making them cherish life more...
What made the people in the city even more uncomfortable was that Chu Tianxiao pushed Zhao Hai out.
"Young man, do you want to survive? Then tell the guys on the city wall what kind of army you are facing. Do you think that your broken city can stop us?"
Under Chu Tianxiao's coercion and inducement, how could Zhao Hai, who had already been frightened, not obey? Besides, he has always been arrogant. When he saw Chu Tianxiao approaching the city, he subconsciously thought - I am a child prodigy of the Great Zhao, and I was captured by the opponent, which means that this opponent is too strong! Therefore, Zhaodu must not be able to be defended!
Yes, that’s right, I lost, not because I was not good enough, but because my opponent was too strong!
You can’t win!
People always find excuses for their failures, and Zhao Hai is no exception. So at the moment, he spared no effort to describe the horror of the defeated army, making them look unmatched in the world, as if as long as they stepped forward and pushed their hands casually, Zhao would be easily defeated...
Looking at him dancing and talking nonsense, Chu Tianxiao and others all smiled - I like this kid!
As a result, the whole city of Zhao began to panic. Many people were so scared that their legs went weak when they saw the defeated army outside the city showing off its power without saying a word...
Seeing this, Yu Miaomiao also started to strike while the iron was hot.
"Sister Si, when people die, everything is gone! Do you really want to wait until the city is broken and you encounter those tragic things before you regret it?"
"Sister Si! Look at the man next to me. He is the commander of this surprise attack, the son of the Great Zhou's number one divine marquis! He is of noble status, and holds the power of life and death here! As long as you surrender, your lives can be saved, and there will be no retaliation later!"
"Sister Si, and the other sisters, please stop insisting. Even if you don't think about yourselves, you should at least think about your daughters, right? Once the city is breached... what will happen..."
It must be said that Yu Miaomiao is indeed a scheming woman. After seeing Chu Tianxiao's methods, she is now really trying her best to persuade those concubines in the harem in the city...
Because Chu Tianxiao had told her that the Zhao Palace was full of scheming women who had no loyalty to Emperor Zhao... So she grasped the key.
Don't look at those women as weak and insignificant, but Yu Miaomiao knows very well that none of them are easy to deal with! Every woman in this city probably has her own relatives and power. Even if there are no relatives, there will be forces loyal to them in the light and dark areas...
These things are usually dormant and invisible, but once they show up, they stir up the storm!
Perhaps... One evil concubine is not enough to cause chaos in the country, but there is more than one evil concubine in the capital of Zhao.
What kind of power would it be if all their forces were combined
At least for the now extremely empty capital of Dazhao, this is a decisive force!
And this force, under tremendous pressure, finally surfaced at this moment!
Countless retired soldiers, retainers, servants, and even ruffians came out from the dark corners of Zhaodu and mercilessly killed those soldiers and officers who were still loyal to Emperor Zhao.
The blood first dyed the inner hall of the Zhao Palace red.
Then he followed the stairs of the inner hall and brought the blood outside.
The Soul-Awakening Realm priest was ambushed by his most trusted disciple at the first moment, and then beaten to death.
This scene is frequently played out everywhere.
Throughout Zhaodu, people were bleeding, groaning, and dying...
Chaos in Zhao capital!
Until this moment, everyone realized what kind of people Emperor Zhao had collected to fill his harem, and what he once thought was a "stable harem" was actually a sad joke...
Every concubine in the harem played a trick on this guy!
On this day, the fingers of the concubines in the harem who had seemed "extremely close to the people" were all stained with the blood of the Zhao people...
On this day, the screen of Zhaodu City was breached from the inside, the suspension bridge was cut from the inside, and the city gate was knocked open from the inside...
On this day, the blood flowing everywhere in Zhaodu could not be washed away...
On this day, the enemy army entered the new capital of Zhao State for the first time...
The city is broken!
In the harem concubines.
