Chapter 1985

The Xiongnu did not raid early, nor did they raid late; they chose to raid at precisely this moment.

What does this amount to?

Just as she had broken ties with Gao Yang, the news reached the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu Great Chanyu made his move.

He immediately led his soldiers, riding without pause to raid Da Qian.

He even went out of his way to issue a harsh threat.

There is nothing more insulting than this.

This is a strike at the heart!

Furthermore, it is the most vicious strike at the heart from an opponent!

Through his actions, he is saying: "You think I am afraid of you, Wu Zhao? Without Gao Yang, you, Wu Zhao, and the civil and military officials of Da Qian are nothing but farts!"

"You are worthy of being my Xiongnu's opponent? A joke!"

Wu Zhao's heart was filled with boundless rage.

This humiliation caused her to lose all face.

If this gets out, how will the people of the world view her?

But Wu Zhao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart.

She told herself that she must remain calm! This is an insult, but even more so, a trap! The Xiongnu want to humiliate her, provoke her, and make her reach a wrong decision in her anger!

This is a strategy of alienation; she must not fall for it!

Yet, almost immediately after.

Another Imperial Guard rushed in, his face as pale as paper, his voice filled with unprecedented terror.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! On Zhu Que Street... something terrible has happened on Zhu Que Street!!!"
