Chapter 1423

Da Qian's means have arrived!

Zhao Yuheng felt as if his spirit had been drained, and he was about to kneel down.

He was stunned, becoming dumbfounded!

That guy Gao Yang was really pitting him!

This had pitted him miserably!

The Zhao Huang's face also became extremely ugly.

"It's over!"

"It's all over!"

No matter how dull the officials were, they understood now and said with pale faces.

Only Zhao Pu was not surprised, but he closed his eyes in pain.

Banning grain ships from the Huai River from entering Zhao, what should the commoners of the Zhao Kingdom do?

The farmland was abandoned this year, how much grain could the commoners have had last year?

It would be good if they could hold out until the autumn harvest this year, let alone the cold and long winter.

And even if they held out this year, what about next year?

To survive, they must hold out until next year's autumn harvest!

But this... how is that possible?

You know, once grain is scarce, the price will rise, and the money in the commoners' hands will be worthless!

Zhao Pu's eyes were full of pain.

At this time, the Zhao Huang also spoke, "The Da Qian Empress implemented two policies: one is to ban Da Qian commoners from wearing Zhao Gao, and the other is—this year, grain ships north of the Huai River are forbidden from flying the Da Qian flag!"

"Da Qian has implemented a grain ban on my Zhao Kingdom!"

"What the Prime Minister said is probably the true intention of the Living Yama and the Da Qian Empress!"

When the Zhao Huang said these words, his tone was dry, as if he had lost all his strength.

The officials fell into silence.

They had never thought that the Da Qian Empress would be so ruthless and her methods so vicious!

This is taking the life of my Zhao Kingdom!

The Zhao Huang also realized this. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented crisis.

He couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuheng and said mercilessly, "Waste!"

"What use are you to me?"

"In front of that Da Qian Living Yama, you were played like a dog, harming my Zhao Kingdom!"

"I have been famous for a lifetime, how could I have a son who is a waste like you?"

The Zhao Huang gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.

At this moment, he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Yuheng and scolded him mercilessly!

Zhao Yuheng was scolded until he was bloody, his face extremely ugly, but facing the Zhao Huang's anger, he couldn't say a word, only pale and stiff.

"All of this... is my fault!"

"I wrongly trusted that Living Yama!"

Although the Zhao Huang was angry, he knew in his heart that even if he killed Zhao Yuheng now, it would be of no avail.

The most urgent task was to solve this matter!

In the silence of the crowd, the Zhao Huang said, "My dear ministers, is there any countermeasure?"

He was full of expectation, his gaze sweeping over the civil and military officials below.

Hearing the Zhao Huang's voice, everyone fell silent.

The Zhao Huang looked at Zhao Pu, but Zhao Pu also lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Zhao Huang's eyes were full of disappointment, and he took a deep breath and said, "First, block the news completely. This matter must not be spread to the commoners. Violators will be beheaded!"

Now there was no good way. What the Zhao Huang expected was to block the news first and then think of a good way to let the Zhao Kingdom hold out during this period.

But a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Pu's mouth, and he really wanted to say something.

Will Da Qian give the Zhao Kingdom a chance to breathe?

Will that Living Yama give the Zhao Kingdom a chance to breathe?

Zhao Pu did not hold out hope for this.

And in Zhao Pu's heart, there was a vague intuition that the Living Yama's methods were not just that.

Either don't move, or strike a fatal blow—this is the Da Qian Living Yama!

He might still have a backup plan...

"..."

Handan.

The base of the Ruthless Sect.

Bai Xi wore a white dress, and a shocking majesty permeated her body.

Her phoenix eyes swept forward.

Just then.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Report!"

"Highest-level contact code, the latest news from Lord Gao!"

Accompanied by this voice.

Bai Xi sat up straight, her face excited.

"Quick!"

"Bring the letter to me!"

Since Guo Wuji was castrated, his mind had become a bit sensitive.

When he saw Bai Xi's reaction, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The Sect Leader has always been cold, even after I was castrated, she was extremely cold to me, without any thoughts of intimacy, but she seems unusual toward the Living Yama.

"Sect Leader, what is written in the Living Yama's letter?"

Compared to Guo Wuji, Wang Lao was clearly a career-oriented existence, staring at Bai Xi with urgency.

Bai Xi opened the envelope and scanned it.

The further she read, the more fervent Bai Xi's gaze became. Finally, she slammed the envelope shut and said to the crowd.

"The Living Yama has started to crash the market, Zhao Gao is about to plummet, and grain prices will usher in a terrifying rise!"

"The time for my Ruthless Sect to flourish has arrived!"
