My chat group is full of female losers

Chapter 360 Follow-up
With the Third Princess defeated, the situation was essentially settled.

After all, within the forces in the desert, the Third Princess is the true MVP, while the others are genuine easy wins; there is no room for ambiguity or excuse.

Without the Third Princess, this mob, stirred up by fanatical slogans, is nothing more than a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

Chu Lu rallied the remaining soldiers in the capital and, with the help of Huo Qi's newly reorganized Imperial Guard, wiped out all the female soldiers in the desert in just a few days.

All the women were killed, and the men were unable to leave the tent.

Thus, the Great Desert, a formidable enemy that had once given the entire court a headache, was effectively and completely annihilated.

This dramatic turn of events sent the people of the capital, who had just recovered from the shadow of the apocalypse, into a frenzy of joy. They spread the news and cheered with jubilation. Although they didn't know the inside story, they had seen Chu Lu and Huo Qi leading their troops on various campaigns, so they naturally attributed the credit to them, showering them with all sorts of nauseatingly exaggerated praise.

Meanwhile, the chat group for female protagonists was completely silent.

The first to break the silence were Consort Li and others.

Consort Li: "We've lost...we've lost everything...what should we do?"

Consort Wan: "Where is the Third Princess? Isn't she a Celestial Lord? How come she can't even beat the Group Leader?"

Consort Zhuang: "It's over, all over. Even the Third Princess has been defeated, so who can be a match for the group leader?"

Su Lian Yue: "Wait a minute, I thought I was in pretty bad shape, but it seems like it's not so bad now? I wasn't involved at all, so even if we fail, the department head can't blame me, right?"

For a moment, apart from Su Lianyue secretly rejoicing, everyone else in the group wailed in despair.

On the other side, the princes and ministers who had fled in panic after thinking the dynasty had collapsed felt extremely complicated after learning of the great victory in the capital.

"Outrageous! Your Majesty clearly had a plan to repel the enemy, why didn't you say so sooner! You've caused my whole family to be displaced and wander, what kind of behavior is this!" A brainless official cursed angrily in the temporary post station.

But most people, after the initial shock, urged their servants to turn back to the capital immediately.

"Quickly! Back to the capital! We must hurry back to His Majesty, apologize to him, and make amends for our mistake!"

For a time, the official road leading to the capital was crowded with these loyal officials who were eager to turn back.

Several more days passed, and thanks to the efforts of Huo Qi and others, order in the capital had been basically restored.

Inside the imperial study, Chu Lu calmly reviewed memorials, confirming the current situation. As he opened a list of casualties, his gaze swept over it, and he suddenly froze.

One name caught his eye.

Su Yan.

"Qin Su," Chu Lu asked in his mind, "I remember Su Yan is the key minister in the main storyline of the dungeon, right?"

"Yes, it's him," Qin Su replied.

Upon hearing this, Chu Lu's expression immediately became subtle.

Chu Lu is currently in a fictional historical novel for male readers. The main plot of this novel is that the male protagonist rebels and overthrows the emperor.

One of the reasons that prompted the male protagonist to rebel was that his close friend Su Yan was killed by the emperor for one reason or another.

"So now that he's being killed in the chaos, instead of by me, will that affect the main storyline?" Chu Lu asked.

"It's highly unlikely," Qin Su replied. "The main plot itself has a certain degree of corrective power. Although it's not as unreasonable as the female lead's halo, this place is too far from the male lead in the dungeon, and news spreads in ancient times. The truth is distorted in the process of spreading, and it's quite normal to put the blame for killing him on your head."

"What? Isn't this just pinning the blame on me?" Chu Lu complained, but then looked nonchalant. "Whatever, by the time the main character of the dungeon arrives, I'll have already captured Tian Shu and be wreaking havoc. I don't need to worry about him."

After confirming there were no other problems, he called over the eunuch waiting outside the door: "Summon Huo Qi."

Soon, Huo Qi rushed over: "Your Majesty, you wanted to see me?"

"Hmm," Chu Lu looked at him, "Now that things are settled in the capital, can we continue the investigation into Tian Shu?"

"Of course!" Huo Qi's spirits lifted, and he immediately bowed and replied, "This subordinate will immediately instruct his men to send Old Li to probe the situation! If Tian Shu shows any signs of weakness, we will act immediately!"

Chu Lu nodded, urging him to act quickly.

Huo Qi agreed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked hesitant and cautiously said, "However, Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, I have a question to ask."

"what's up?"

"Who exactly is that masked master who defeated the Third Princess that day?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lu deliberately feigned a serious and slightly angry expression and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

Huo Qi immediately understood and said with a serious expression, "Yes! It was this humble general who spoke out of turn! This humble general takes his leave!"

After saying that, he left.

Inside the imperial study, only Chu Lu remained. Leaning back on the dragon throne, he thought to himself: Now, I should be able to find Tian Shu smoothly.

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous inn, in a dimly lit room, the Third Princess Jiang Liuli was huddled in a corner, trembling uncontrollably.

She was a disheveled mess, her elegant robes stained with mud and blood, her face covered in swollen, red wounds, her former arrogance long gone. The terror of being dominated by Chu Lu that day kept replaying in her mind. Those emotionless eyes, those fists so heavy they could shatter bones…

"Why, why is this happening?" She clutched her head, muttering in disbelief. "My magic, my power, why are they useless against him? This shouldn't be happening! I'm the main character! How could I lose?!"

Just then, the chat group notification sounded abruptly.

She was taken aback, then subconsciously opened the chat group interface.

She discovered that Changhong had tagged her in a private chat group with only four members.

Chang Hong: "Jiang Liuli? That's strange. I seem to have heard some inexplicable rumors about you recently. These rumors are absolutely despicable. They say that you led female soldiers from the desert to kill the emperor, but you were beaten and forced to flee in a sorry state by a mysterious masked man."

Finally, finally, hahaha, you were so scared you peed your pants! Hahaha! That's just too much. Who spread this rumor?

The Third Princess's face suddenly darkened.

At this moment, Changhong sent another message: "So what's the truth? You must have already caught the group owner, right? Where am I supposed to find you? Congratulations!"

The third princess remained silent, only gritting her teeth in anger.

Chang Hong continued, "Jiang Liuli, why aren't you saying anything? Speak up! Explain yourself! Are you mute? Could it be... that's not a rumor? You're really scared to death? Hahahaha!"

Changhong: "So this is what you mean by 'power is everything'? I thought you were talking about your own power, but it turns out it's the group leader's power. Hahahaha!"

"enough!"

The Third Princess could no longer bear it; the confusion in her eyes was replaced by overwhelming rage.

The Third Princess: "Changhong! You good-for-nothing who only knows how to take shortcuts, how dare you laugh at me?! As if you didn't slink away from the capital in disgrace!"

Chang Hong: "Even if I'm a complete waste, I was never beaten like a dog and forced to flee the capital. It seems that brains are still more useful than brute force."

Third Princess: "Shut up! Shut up!"

Changhong: "Hahaha!"

Just then, Si Ren suddenly got involved.

Si Ren: "Laugh, laugh, laugh! What are you laughing at, Chang Hong! At least Liu Li met the group leader, but you didn't even see the emperor's face before you were scared away by him. How dare you bark like a dog here?!"

When Si Ren was scolded away by A Sheng, she wanted other female protagonists to take action to drive A Sheng away, but Chang Hong stopped her. As a result, she had to deal with A Sheng herself and was beaten by him until she cried out for mercy.

She held a grudge against Changhong back then, so naturally she couldn't help but start cursing now.

Seeing this, Changhong immediately turned his fire on her: "Si Ren, what are you? You're a fool who can't even beat an idiot, and you dare to talk about me?!"

Si Ren instantly flew into a rage: "You lowly servant! What do you know! I was tricked! Unlike some people who think they're clever and have undercover agents to help them, but they were used without even realizing it!"

Her words were clearly a sarcastic remark about Changhong's attempt to use Shen Yanchen, only to be outmaneuvered by Chu Lu.

The third princess seized the opportunity to say, "Yes, they're so stupid as to push their own companions into the fire."

This naturally refers to Changhong tricking Yunque into going to her death.

Chang Hong's face instantly turned red, and he lost his temper, yelling, "Useless? How dare you call others trash? Is your brain filled with water or mush? What can you do besides curse?! You're always spouting nonsense like an idiot!"

Si Ren: "Give me your address! You son of a bitch, give me your address right now! I'll go cut off your feet and shove them in your mouth! I'll show you that all I do is curse!"

The Third Princess: "It's all your fault! If you weren't all so useless, forcing me to take matters into my own hands, we wouldn't be in this mess! It's all your fault!"

"waste!"

You're the one who's useless!

"Kill you!"

……

The three cursed each other, blaming each other for their failures and humiliations, and argued incessantly.

While the group chat was in chaos, no one noticed that a fourth member had logged on. The person stared blankly at the chat group.

Then a message suddenly appeared on the screen.

The message seemed to possess a freezing power even more terrifying than the Third Princess's ice magic. The moment it appeared, the entire chat group was frozen, and the previous barrage of arguments instantly ceased.

The three princesses, Changhong, and Si Ren were all frozen in place in front of the chat group interface, unable to move.

That was a message from Fei Wu.

Fei Wu: "You... haven't captured the group owner yet?"
