The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Less than an hour after Sun Xiang left, a barbarian cavalry force of three thousand men arrived. Seeing the barbarian corpses scattered all over the ground, they were all furious.

They followed the road and chased after it.

Based on their past experience fighting the Red Beacon Army, these two-legged sheep wouldn't go far at all.

But this time, they searched for a long time without finding anything. In addition, today was the big day for their barbarian tribe to take over Shanhe City, so they could not delay too much.

One by one, they cursed God.

"Those traitors, they actually ran fast this time!"

"We can't delay any longer. The Third Prince is probably arriving soon. If we don't go back now, we'll miss the moment he enters the city."

"Let these two-legged sheep run free this once, damn it, let's see if they can still run this fast next time!"

……

The barbarian army of three thousand immediately turned their horses around and galloped towards Shanhe City. When they arrived, they found the barbarian army entering the city in an orderly manner.

They actually made a mistake.

Not daring to make a sound, they cautiously joined the barbarian ranks, and soon arrived at the north gate of Shanhe City.

If Shanhe City was an unshakeable fortress preventing their southward advance, then the north gate of Shanhe City was the bridgehead of that fortress.

Over the years, countless barbarian corpses have been buried beneath its walls; if counted, they would have piled up like mountains.

But now, this Shanhe City belongs to them.

You can enter through the north gate whenever you want.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the north gate of Shanhe City, a group of people were gathered. Looking over, one could see a handsome young man in the middle of the crowd. He had a face like jade and handsome features, and he had the air of a refined gentleman.

It was none other than their barbarian third prince, Tuoba Xiangtai.

Tuoba Xiangtai stood with his hands behind his back, and in front of him was a stone tablet.

The stone tablet was very old, with many cracks and a mottled appearance, but it was not covered with a single patch of moss, indicating that someone had been wiping it clean from time to time.

On the front of the stone tablet are engraved eight large characters written in bold, iron-like strokes.

"Barbarian tribes are forbidden from entering the territory of Dayu!"

This was established by the Dayu Dynasty many years ago.

The Great Yu Dynasty also consistently adhered to this maxim.

Over the years, although trade has gradually been allowed to open and their barbarian merchants have been permitted to travel south, the army of Dayu has always been blocked in front of this stone tablet and unable to advance an inch.

but now……

Tuoba Xiangtai said calmly, "Smash it!"

"yes!"

The barbarian soldiers surged forth with fervor.

Lacking a hammer, they used their curved swords to smash the stone tablet with all their might.

The stone tablet was sturdy and had stood firm through countless battles; a mere scimitar could only scratch its surface.

But the barbarian soldiers are numerous!

One scimitar isn't enough, then ten will do!

If ten won't do, then a hundred will do!

One hundred is not enough, so let's have ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand!

This time, their barbarian army numbered a full 100,000.

Even though the Red Beacon Army was no longer in Shanhe City of Dayu, and had been personally sent by Empress Xiao Mingzhao as part of her dowry, they still managed to operate within the city.

If they wanted, they could even tear down the city walls of Shanhe City inch by inch.

These city walls, stained with the blood of countless brothers, friends, and relatives, could be crushed into dust and ash by them, brick by brick, if they so desired!

The sounds of smashing the monument grew louder and louder.

The third prince of the barbarian tribe, Tuoba Xiangtai, who issued the order, still had no change in expression, remaining calm and composed, but the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter!

Only when the stone tablet was on the verge of crumbling did he mount his horse, lead the barbarian army, and enter the city!

Entering Shanhe City!

For hundreds of years, they have been unable to advance even a single step into the Mountain and River City.

He rode a tall horse, his face calm but unable to hide his arrogance. The moment his horse's hooves stepped into Shanhe City, he seemed to be floating on clouds.

"The barbarians have finally arrived! May our two nations forge an eternal friendship!"

"We are happy to share in the joy of His Majesty's and the Third Prince's wedding."

"A hearty celebration of the barbarians' arrival in my Mountain and River City!"

……

At the city gate, three or four hundred natives of Shanhe City had arrived sometime earlier. They had been waiting and were finally seeing the barbarians arrive.

The barbarians have arrived. The deep-seated hatred between the barbarians and the Great Yu has been completely put aside because of His Majesty's marriage. From now on, Shanhe City will no longer be a place of fighting between the two sides, but a place of friendship between the two races.

They will never have to suffer the pain of war again.

How can I not get excited?

"It's just a shame that everyone else is out of their minds. Instead of coming to welcome the barbarian army, they all hide at home and stay indoors."

"Hmph, short-sighted!"

As the rice shop owner loudly welcomed them, he couldn't help but inwardly curse those who lacked discernment, especially Sun Xiang.

We must take him with us!

Fortunately, he was resolute and extremely quick-witted, and was not misled by Sun Xiang. Otherwise, how could he have squeezed into this front row to personally welcome the barbarians into the city!

"My lord, my lord, you must be the Third Prince?"

"We've been eagerly anticipating your wedding to His Majesty!"

The rice shop owner naturally couldn't miss this opportunity to make a good impression, so he rushed to the front, hoping to leave a good impression on the Third Prince, Tuoba Xiangtai.

Although he didn't know what use this good impression would be to him, it was never a bad thing to leave a good impression on the barbarian lord.

"So noisy!"

A light cavalryman beside the third prince let out a cold shout, drawing his precious sword from his waist. With a casual slash, the blade gleamed, and then…

The rice shop owner was beheaded!

"Kill all these noisy sluts."

Those light cavalrymen were clearly the guards of the Third Prince Tuoba Xiangtai, and held a high position, capable of issuing orders.

At this command, the surrounding barbarians sprang into action, their blades flashing and heads falling incessantly.

Those Yu people who had originally come to curry favor with the Third Prince turned pale instantly.

Wasn't the third prince of the barbarians supposed to marry His Majesty? Didn't the barbarians want to maintain a permanent friendship with the Yu people? Wasn't the entire Shanhe City given to the third prince of the barbarians as his dowry?

The future should be bright!

They no longer had to suffer the pain of war and could enjoy this prosperous era in Shanhe City, witnessing the barbarians and the Yu people jointly creating a glorious age.

Can……

Why did the barbarians attack them?

This knife is so sharp, this knife is so shiny.

It was so fast they couldn't react, so bright they couldn't open their eyes. They only felt heads flying before their eyes, only felt countless drops of blood splattering, until...

The blade was closing in on him.

He screamed desperately, knelt on the ground begging for mercy, cried out for his parents, but he couldn't escape the flashes of the blades.

Until it fell straight down, never to live again.

The area beneath the north gate of Shanhe City fell completely silent.

The Third Prince, Tuoba Xiangtai, said leisurely, "Stop! Don't be reckless. I have already married the Empress of Dayu, and from now on, our two countries will be one family."

"Do not attack the forester in broad daylight."

"yes!"

The barbarians, who had already returned to their ranks, responded in agreement.

"Let's go... to take a look at the General of the North's Mansion."
