Chapter 364

"If we can achieve victory in one battle and break through Changancheng, our army will greatly reduce casualties and save millions of cartloads of grain!"

"Pass my military order: cook at the third watch, array at the fifth watch, follow me to break through Changancheng, capture the Da Qian Empress alive, and execute the Da Qian Living Yama!"

Chu Qingluan was filled with excitement, her eyes filled with cruel killing intent.

Although she knew Da Qian was doing this on purpose, since the Da Qian Empress wanted to array outside the city, she, Chu Qingluan, would never let such a good opportunity pass!

More than one hundred thousand elites fighting fifty thousand—the advantage was hers!

"……"

Changancheng.

Imperial Palace.

Night shrouded Changancheng, but tonight was destined to be restless.

After all the orders were issued, Gao Yang also came to the palace where Wu Zhao was.

"Is everything prepared?"

Wu Zhao stood by the window with her hands behind her back, looking at the full moon in the sky, her voice drifting out slowly.

Bathed in moonlight, the golden dragon robe set off her slender figure to perfection.

Gao Yang took a few extra glances before saying, "Everything that can be done, I have done."

"Humanity is greedy. With such a massive disparity in strength, Chu Qingluan cannot let such a good opportunity pass."

"I even smeared a deadly poison on the declaration of war for the fight to the death. If it succeeds, the resistance in this battle will be greatly reduced!"

Wu Zhao turned her head, her phoenix eyes exceptionally bright.

She said gloomily.

"You in the great hall made me feel a sense of strangeness; the you now makes me feel very familiar."

"But can Chu Qingluan fall for it if you smear poison on this declaration of war?"

Gao Yang shook his head. "I do not know."

"But if that Chu Princess takes it herself, and happens to have a wound on her hand, or doesn't like to wash her hands, or rubs her eyes because she is tired at night, or sucks her fingers, then we have made a profit."

"Using some cheap poison to bet on a possibility, even if this possibility is extremely small, it is not a loss!"

Wu Zhao felt the same way after hearing this. "These words make sense!"

After these words, the hall fell into a new silence.

After a long while, Wu Zhao asked slowly, "This battle is a life-or-death one. Do you… have any regrets?"

When she said this, Wu Zhao looked serious.

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised that Wu Zhao would ask this question.

Then, he scanned Wu Zhao's slender figure, lingering for a long time on her beautiful legs beneath the dragon robe.

"I do have one regret that is quite crazy but has never been completed, but I am naturally shy and have never dared to say it. Is Your Majesty going to help me realize it?"

Wu Zhao had originally thought so, but when she saw Gao Yang's wolf-like gaze.

She fell silent.

"Forget I said anything."

Gao Yang had been holding back for a long time, wanting to say 'Your Majesty, take off your armor, take off your chest armor, take off your T-shaped armor,' and almost blurted it out.

Who would have thought Wu Zhao would say that.

"Your Majesty, don't be like that. A promise from an Emperor is hard to chase even with a thousand horses!"

Gao Yang hurriedly spoke up.

If nothing else, looking at her legs would be fine too.

If Wu Zhao didn't mind doing something even crazier, he felt he could sacrifice a little.

Wu Zhao stepped out with her long, jade-like legs and walked straight toward the desk in the hall, selectively ignoring Gao Yang's words.

"Since you are here, help me draft the final decree!"

Gao Yang stepped forward helplessly, somewhat disappointed but also a bit curious.

"Your Majesty, what is the final decree?"

Wu Zhao's expression was calm, her gaze cold. "If I win, I shall lighten taxes and levies, treat the people well, and open the foundation for ten thousand generations of prosperity. If I lose, let the thieves tear my corpse apart, but do not harm a single commoner." ===== CHAPTER 366 =====
