Chapter 239

In the next few days, Changan fell into a cleanup, and the hundred officials shrank honestly in their mansions.

But Wu Zhao's methods were also very brilliant, showing her powerful wrist; this action of eliminating dissidents and removing Prince Rong did not cause a large-scale bloodbath.

It only removed Prince Rong's direct line, and Wu Zhao didn't take ruthless action against the others who were not deeply involved.

This could stabilize the imperial court at the fastest speed, and even be used by her; the streets of Changan also restored their past vitality.

Five days passed in a flash.

Longguan.

Da Qian's number one majestic pass.

The city wall of Longguan is tall, the rammed earth is solid, and it is a majestic pass in the true sense; in the past, there was no lack of large armies attacking here, but under the Longguan city wall, they always returned in failure, suffering heavy casualties.

The general stationed at Longguan is the famous Da Qian general Xue Yi, with ten thousand Tianyi troops under his command, which is also one of the best elite troops in Da Qian.

But today, the city gate of Longguan is wide open, and an old general full of murderous intent is standing at the gate; it is none other than the Longguan defender Xue Yi.

But in front of him, there is also a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, with majesty and nobility.

Prince Wu, Wu Xiong!

Wu Xiong took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with unspeakable ambition; he said disdainfully: "That Wu Zhao is just a woman, and she is worthy of being an emperor?"

"This world is destined to fall into my hands."

Xue Yi on the side smiled and said, "The female emperor has a sensitive sense of smell, but all this is ultimately a futile effort; after today, the overall situation is set!"

"Longguan is only two or three hundred miles away from Changan; with the speed of the Chu cavalry, as long as they pass Longguan, Changan is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; I'm afraid that female emperor won't even be able to react."

Wu Xiong heard this, and his face was filled with smiles again.

The two were like waiting for something; suddenly, the earth trembled, as if horses' hooves were trampling the earth.

Wu Xiong and Xue Yi both looked into the distance, only to see within their line of sight, a black king flag fluttering in the wind, followed by a black torrent of steel, charging towards Longguan in a grand manner, with endless murderous intent permeating its body.

"It's here!"

Wu Xiong saw the Chu army in the distance, his face full of excitement.

Xue Yi was also excited.

Soon.

Chu Qingluan took the lead, wearing soft armor, looking heroic and spirited; her cold eyes looked at Wu Xiong.

Behind her followed Chu Tianfeng, who was full of murderous intent.

Wu Xiong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "I didn't expect that this time it would be the Chu Second Princess and the Chu War God personally leading the army."

"The Second Princess is truly not inferior to men."

Wu Xiong's voice rang out.

Chu Qingluan moved her gaze away from Wu Xiong and looked at the majestic and tall Longguan; a trace of imperceptible excitement also appeared in her eyes.

The Chu army entered Longguan, and that was half the success.

Changan is not a natural barrier; as long as they pass Longguan, after Longguan, it is flat as a pancake, with only some small mountains.

As long as the cavalry is fast enough, one rider and two horses, they can quickly kill their way to Changan City and bring the army to the city wall!

Changan's military strength is empty, simply within reach!

Chu Qingluan suppressed the excitement in her heart and looked at Wu Xiong, "Prince Wu, the news hasn't leaked, right?"

Wu Xiong smiled and said, "Second Princess, rest assured, the scouts who reported the news along the way all died when they reached here; Changan doesn't know anything until now."

"But that female emperor's sense of smell is indeed sensitive; she sent scouts to Longguan many days ago, ordering General Xue to strictly guard and be careful of enemy attacks, and she really guessed it."

Once these words were spoken.

Chu Qingluan was a bit surprised, "Oh?"

"Then this female emperor has some ability, actually feeling the crisis."

Wu Xiong smiled and said, "General Xue and my relationship is unknown to anyone, and these scouts were all blocked back."

"However, once the army leaves Longguan, I'm afraid it won't be hidden."

Chu Qingluan smiled lightly, "Longguan is only a few hundred miles away from Changan, and it is flat as a pancake in between; our Great Chu has long been prepared, one rider and two horses!"

"Even if they know, so what? There is no time left for her to mobilize troops."

Chu Qingluan said coldly.

Chu Tianfeng's eyes also revealed ambition.

Use the blood of the Da Qian female emperor to sacrifice the military soul of our Great Chu!

"I have prepared a banquet in the city; I invite the Second Princess to enter the city and take a rest."

Wu Xiong bent his body.

Xue Yi also lowered his head with humility.

In the future, they will have to rely on Chu Qingluan and back the Chu Kingdom.

But Chu Qingluan shook her head, "Military strategy values speed; this surprise attack values being unexpected and values being fast."

"Fast enough that the Da Qian female emperor cannot react!"

"Fast enough that Changan cannot imagine!"

"Fast enough that they throw away their helmets and armor!"

"Not to mention that Changan has a vicious scholar; I will not give him time to mobilize troops."

Chu Qingluan thought of Gao Yang's deeds, and her eyes were cold; although she wanted to chop Gao Yang into meat sauce, she didn't underestimate Gao Yang in the slightest.

Wu Xiong and Xue Yi heard the word 'vicious scholar' and both nodded.

Gao Yang's vicious schemes had long been spread from the imperial court; not a bit of his pleading for the people was spread, but the vicious schemes were spread all over the world.

Even they had to say, vicious enough!

"With his own strength, it is difficult to stir up any waves." Wu Xiong added.

Chu Qingluan shook her head, "You must know that a lion fighting a rabbit must also use its full strength, not to mention that in a battle between two armies, I never underestimate anyone."

"What I promised you, our Great Chu will do."

Wu Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this.

Chu Qingluan nodded, waved her hand, and said coldly, "Enter the city, rest for an hour."

"After an hour, follow me to trample Changan, establish merit, and establish an immortal achievement!"

Accompanied by Chu Qingluan's words.

The messenger behind her immediately waved the flag to convey the meaning.

The next moment, an earth-shaking roar rang out.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The murderous intent on the Chu soldiers suddenly swept out, rushing straight into the sky, as if wanting to make the heavens and earth change color.

Soon, the Chu army entered Longguan in a grand manner.

A cruel smile also appeared on Wu Xiong's face.

"This world's empire should have been mine, Wu Xiong's."
