Chapter 161

In the beginning.

These Turkic beasts never once regarded the people of the Great Tang as human beings.

They burned, killed, looted, and committed every evil imaginable.

The entire northern border of the Great Tang was plunged into a purgatory of war.

Tales of atrocities too numerous to record reached Changancheng one after another.

Things like human-head lanterns and dismemberment occurred by the dozens, even hundreds, every single day!

Yet, as the Empress of the Great Tang, she could only watch helplessly as the Turkic cavalry ran wild.

The pain in her heart was unimaginable!

Now, seeing the enemy again, Zhangsun Wugou could no longer remain calm.

Li Xueyan, meanwhile, watched the Turkic army in silence.

Not a word!

What else was there to say?

This war was a trial of life and death!

She, too, was a subject of the Great Tang, and she had also heard of those inhumane deeds committed by the Turks.

Now.

There was only one thought in Li Xueyan's heart.

Revenge!

Revenge!

Qin Mu did not pay attention to Li Er, but slowly drew his Green Lotus Sword and looked toward the army behind him.

"Brothers, the Turkic thieves have the hearts of wolves and the ambitions of beasts, coveting our Qin-Han mountains and rivers at every moment!"

"They cross the Great Wall with their broken blades, delusional enough to think they can destroy Great Qin and the countless lives of the Central Plains!"

"If we truly let them succeed, it would be our shame, the shame of all Great Qin!"

"Soldiers! The time to achieve great merit has arrived!"

"I want you to follow me and trample over Mount Langjuxu!"

"I want you to follow me and crush the Turkic Royal Court!"

"Our Great Qin iron cavalry shall let all the great powers know!"

"Wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the mountains and rivers reflect, all is Qin territory!"

The battlefield of gold and iron, the impassioned words, made Qin Mu's blood boil and his whole body tremble!

Shivering!

Shivering with unstoppable excitement!

The proud and resolute silhouette astride the steed was so majestic and imposing that everything else paled in comparison!

Even the roars and battle cries of hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry could not mask the dazzling radiance emanating from Qin Mu.

Li Er was stunned!

Fang Xuanling was stunned!

Zhangsun Wugou, Changle, and Li Xueyan, who witnessed all this, were all stunned!

Heavens!

Is this youth truly human?

No!

Perhaps he is no longer!

He is a god!

The sole master of this land!

Li Er felt goosebumps all over his body.

This scene, this situation—I, too, have experienced it once!

But how did I act back then?

Cowering on the city walls of Changancheng, not daring to strike, forced to sign the humiliating Weishuizhi Alliance—compared to the Qin Mu before me, how vast is the gap between us?

Thinking of this, Li Er could not help but lower his head in shame, his entire face burning hot, but then he had a second thought.

I did it for the sake of all the people under heaven.

The shame in Li Er's heart lessened by a few degrees.

Yes!

I did it for the Great Tang, for the ancestral mountains and rivers of the state!

The Turkic cavalry are fierce and invincible; who could possibly withstand them?

Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu!

You have a heart full of passion, but unfortunately, you do not understand the principle of enduring humiliation to carry out a mission.
