Chapter 1144

"This Yan Wushuang looks like a human, but in reality, he has such wolfish ambition and is worse than a beast. It is truly impossible to know a person's heart by their face; it is unexpected!"

"But I believe that the Heavenly Dao is clear, and karmic retribution is always effective. Yan Wushuang killed his brother and imprisoned his father; such a beast, his descendants will surely be restless, not to mention morality!"

Gao Yang's voice rang out, echoing in the Imperial Study.

The officials sighed in their hearts; to be so despised by the Living Yama, this Yan Wushuang's character was simply extreme!

Wu Zhao's mouth twitched.

She glanced at Gao Yang.

Others didn't know, but how could she not know?

Gao Yang had already told her. If it weren't for that sentence in the novel, "There is no perfect person, and he who steals his sister-in-law steals the Heavenly Dao," she felt Yan Wushuang might not necessarily have had to bear this infamy.

Who could have thought that this sentence was also a big pit, calculating Great Yan for decades to come.

If it were normal times, she might have laughed, but thinking of the second piece of news, Wu Zhao's expression was solemn, and she couldn't laugh at all.

She overlooked the officials, slowly sat on the dragon chair, and continued to say to everyone, "The second thing, I just received news that the Xiongnu Chanyu Helancha led tens of thousands of cavalry into Longxi Commandery, burning, killing, and looting, committing all kinds of evil!"

"The Longxi Commandery Governor led troops to rescue, encountered an ambush by the Xiongnu army, was hit by dozens of arrows, and died in battle. The Yuyang County Magistrate was killed. This time, the Xiongnu plundered more than two thousand of our Great Qian people!"

Once these words fell, they stirred up rolling giant waves in the Imperial Study!

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked!

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, her phoenix eyes extremely cold.

"The Xiongnu's move is already a declaration of war. I summoned you all here to ask one question: the Xiongnu have already drawn their swords, what should Great Qian do?"

If the first piece of news only shocked everyone.

Then the second piece of news made everyone's scalp tingle, and endless anger surged in their hearts!

The Xiongnu Chanyu invaded Great Qian and plundered more than two thousand Great Qian people?

The Longxi Commandery Governor died in battle, and the Yuyang County Magistrate was killed!

This was fundamentally different from the small skirmishes of the past, where they would grab some grain and women to go back and spend the winter. The Xiongnu had truly trampled Great Qian's face under their feet, and even spat on it!

Lu Zhen was originally taking a nap, but upon hearing this news, he was instantly furious, and a terrifying killing intent permeated his body.

"Your mother's slave!"

"A tiny Xiongnu dares to be so arrogant!"

"I request Your Majesty to send a large army to conquer the Xiongnu and give them a harsh lesson, letting them know that Great Qian cannot be provoked!"

Qin Qin Zhenguo also cupped his hands and said to Wu Zhao, "I, Qin Qin Zhenguo, request to fight!"

"The Xiongnu's move completely ignores our Great Qian. We should send a large army to conquer the Xiongnu and dampen their spirit!"

For a time, the military generals spoke up one after another.

Their faces were full of anger.

Cui Cui Xinghe furrowed his brows.

Hearing the military generals' killing intent boiling, and seeing they were somewhat unable to control themselves, he hurriedly stood out.

"Your Majesty!"

"Ever since the Battle of Baideng, for the past hundred years, although Great Qian and the Xiongnu cannot be considered peaceful, there have only been some small frictions. Unless the weather is extremely cold, the Xiongnu will not easily move troops."

"Behind this, I fear someone is pushing it in the dark!"

Cui Cui Xinghe's words slightly eased the atmosphere in the Jin Luan Hall.

Even Gao Yang looked at Cui Cui Xinghe; he had to admit that this person was indeed remarkable.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes softened a bit, and she said, "What the Zhuangyuan Cui said is correct. Half a month ago, I received intelligence that a Yan delegation had stepped onto the grasslands, and the Xiongnu Chanyu received them warmly!"

"At that time, I also sent people to Great Yan to verify, but the first intelligence sent back was that the Yan Emperor had not sent a delegation. As a result, a few days later, there was a great change in Great Yan, and Yan Wushuang ascended the throne!"

"From the timing, this delegation is undoubtedly Yan Wushuang's handiwork!"
