Chapter 64

"Little pawn, don't spout nonsense. Today, I am in a good mood, so I will not punish you."

Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, gently waved his hand, dismissing the messenger.

The most elite Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty has already been completely annihilated. Who in the entire Qing Dynasty can now stand against my eight hundred thousand troops?

"Your Majesty, a large force has launched a surprise attack on our rear camp. The eight hundred thousand troops have been routed at first contact. The defeated troops have already scattered the southern army and are now retreating towards the western gate."

The messenger, pale-faced, reported that the eight hundred thousand troops had not even lasted the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before retreating, and even the elite Yang family army at the western gate could not hold for a moment before retreating again.

"What did you say?" Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, and Emperor Qinzong of Song, Zhao Huan, shouted in anger.

Damn, it's absurd enough that the eight hundred thousand troops have been defeated, but now you're saying the Yang family army has also been defeated. With the strength of the Yang family army, they are invincible in the entire Qing Dynasty. Who could defeat them, especially in less than a moment? This is simply a huge joke.

The messenger trembled all over. He was clearly telling the truth!

"Your Majesty, the troops are almost retreating to the western gate. The Yue family army is almost unable to hold. Please, Your Majesty, make preparations early." Yang Ye quickly entered the command tent, his eyes filled with fear.

The speed of the retreat was too fast. Before he could even see the enemy's appearance, the entire Yang family army was shattered and retreated again and again.

"They really have been defeated."

All the emperors felt as if their ears were malfunctioning. The messenger might have misreported, but now even the invincible Yang Ye looked terrified. How terrifying must this enemy be?

More than a million troops did not even last half an hour before collapsing. What kind of army is this?

All the emperors looked at Zhou Yang in shock. Could there be some terrifying monster here?

"Shall we go out and take a look now?" Zhou Yang was also dazed. This is a bit off. The most elite Eight Banners Army has been destroyed. What army in this "Deer and the Cauldron" world could defeat over a million troops?

The group hurriedly walked out of the command tent. Zhou Yang flew directly towards the western gate to see what was happening.

"Run! The enemy is everywhere!"

"Run! The enemy is too powerful!"

"Hurry, Yue Wumu is at the western gate. Go and join him!"

...

Zhou Yang heard the terrified cries of the fleeing soldiers from a distance.

Is there really some terrifying existence?

Zhou Yang flew towards the rear of the retreating army. Along the way, there were discarded helmets, armor, and supplies scattered everywhere. The soldiers were running with sweat on their heads and fear on their faces, but there was no sign of any battle.

Zhou Yang even saw the Yang family army, including Yang Yanzhao and Yang Yanshi, being swept up by the retreating troops, looking helpless. The Liangshan army was also in the chaos, their expressions anxious.

What exactly happened?

Zhou Yang became even more curious and sped up.

Behind the retreating army, there were three groups of troops closely following. From the sky, it looked like three ants pushing a massive mountain forward.

Zhou Yang quickly descended, wanting to see what these troops were.

Wu! Geng! Shang!

Three large banners, three armies. Because of the many troops in front, they did not dare to accelerate fully and stayed behind the retreating army.

"Your Highness, I greet you, Master."

A middle-aged man in light armor walked out from under the Wu banner, bowing respectfully to the sky.

Zhou Yang slowly descended from the sky and found that these were just ordinary elite troops, not even half as strong as the Yang family army. How could they defeat such a large force?

"Name: Wu Sangui.

Identity: King of Yunnan in the 'Deer and the Cauldron' world."

"So, you are the King of Yunnan." Zhou Yang said indifferently. He naturally had no good feelings towards a traitor.

Wu Sangui did not notice, thinking that a divine figure like the master would naturally be cold to a mere mortal.

"These are some specialties from Yunnan. I hope the master likes them." Wu Sangui gestured to the back, and a person carrying a stack of exquisite boxes walked over.

Zhou Yang took the boxes and opened one, finding an eight-hundred-year-old ginseng inside. He closed the box and opened another, finding a five-hundred-year-old snow lotus. After checking all the boxes, he found they contained very precious herbs.

"Does the King of Yunnan have any business?" Zhou Yang smiled, putting all the boxes into the system space. Since they were gifts, he might as well take them.

"Your Highness, I have never had the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower. I hope to enter and see it." Wu Sangui said cautiously. He had gathered information about the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower from others and was very familiar with Zhou Yang's appearance.

This time, he wanted to take advantage of Ao Bai's rebellion to gain more power and hoped that Ao Bai would take him to the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower. He had brought the herbs with him.

However, now that he had met the master, he decided to use them to curry favor with the owner of the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower.

"Sure." Zhou Yang nodded. The system only randomly sends messages. Wu Sangui had bad luck and did not receive one. He just needed to send a message through the system, and Wu Sangui would be able to enter the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower.

"Thank you, Master." Wu Sangui bowed repeatedly, making Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong envious. Wu Sangui could actually converse with a divine figure.

"Do you know why the army retreated?" Zhou Yang asked.

"Your Highness and I only appeared behind the army and were accidentally discovered by the sentries. For some reason, the army kept retreating. We did not dare to get close and just followed behind." Wu Sangui explained.

Damn! Damn! Damn!

Zhou Yang wanted to kick those cowards. They saw less than ten thousand troops and thought they were ambushed, scaring them into fleeing and scattering the rest of the army.

At that moment, a messenger ran to Wu Sangui and whispered something. Zhou Yang naturally heard everything clearly, which was just the news that the Eight Banners Army had been completely annihilated.

"Turn the entire army and enter Beijing." Wu Sangui ordered the rear army. Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong also received the news and moved their troops towards Beijing.

"Master, why don't you come with me to the palace? I will persuade the emperor to give you all the rare herbs in the palace." Wu Sangui smiled.

"I'll go with you then." Zhou Yang nodded. He would not mind more herbs.

After entering Beijing, the city was in chaos. Everyone looked terrified. The shock of over a million people running had made the entire city tremble, as if there was an earthquake.

The Forbidden City was also in chaos, with no one guarding the gates. The loyal and rebel armies were fighting continuously.

Along the way, Wu Sangui and the others gathered troops from Ao Bai's forces. By the time they reached the palace, they had gathered three thousand troops.

"You, quickly suppress the rebel forces and close the Forbidden City. Do not let anyone enter." Zhou Yang heard Empress Dowager Daeje's orders outside the palace.

Thud! Thud! Thud! ...

Wu Sangui's troops quickly surrounded the entire palace and killed all the nearby guards.

"Empress Dowager." The three warlords entered the palace with their troops, their faces expressionless.

"Are you three warlords rebelling?" Daeje's expression was somewhat panicked but quickly calmed down. Her eyes flashed with cold light. They had brought troops into the palace, did not kneel to the emperor, and had killed the palace guards.

"We would never dare, we are just suppressing the rebels." Wu Sangui said indifferently.

"Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi, what about you? Are you listening to Wu Sangui?" Daeje's gaze shifted, asking.

"Your Majesty, please order the execution of the Empress Dowager. According to Qing law, the harem must not interfere in politics." Wu Sangui's face was cold as he said to Emperor Xuan Ye.

At the same time, several experts walked out from behind him and flew to Emperor Xuan Ye's side. Wei Xiaobao was already cowering in fear.

"Your Majesty, please order the execution of the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, we will have to establish a new emperor." The three warlords said in unison. They knew Daeje's abilities and realized that leaving her alive would be a threat to them. They could easily be overthrown if they were not careful.

Emperor Xuan Ye's face turned pale, looking to Daeje for help.

Beside him, one of Wu Sangui's experts grabbed Emperor Xuan Ye's shoulder tightly, "Our lord is asking you a question."

Emperor Xuan Ye cried out in pain and nodded slightly.

Snap!

An expert beside Daeje had already prepared and crushed her throat.

"Your Majesty, you are truly a wise ruler who created the Kangxi-Qianlong prosperity. Now, if you castrate yourself, we will certainly follow your orders." Wu Sangui said coldly. A castrated emperor with no descendants would naturally have no followers, allowing them to feel safe using Xuan Ye as a puppet emperor.

"Please, Your Majesty, castrate yourself!"
