The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Tie Moxiang feigned modesty and said, "Moxiang only wants to help my father relieve his worries and does not dare to expect any merit."

As they were talking, Zhou Bingqing's car arrived. She hurriedly went to greet her, as it was time to confront this easily fooled little fangirl.

"The arrival of the Great Zhou princess with millions of spirit stones should be a wonderful thing, but why is my right eyelid twitching uncontrollably again?"

Zhou Tianci, on the other hand, felt that something was amiss.

He couldn't help but think of that dark and windy night when he was still in the Great Zhou Dynasty, preparing to fight Qin Changye, and his right eyelid twitched for no reason.

Am I overthinking things?

Or will something bad happen?

"You must be Princess Zhou Bingqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Having met me, the most talented woman of the barbarian kingdom, why don't you quickly alight from your carriage and pay your respects?"

Tie Moxiang had imagined that Zhou Bingqing, as her little fan, would be incredibly enthusiastic when she saw her, but instead she was cold and indifferent, which made her very unhappy.

Meanwhile, Tie Shanyue couldn't wait to open a large box.

Upon closer inspection, there wasn't a single spirit stone among them; it was filled with stinking excrement.

"Something's wrong, run!"

At this moment, Zhou Tianci finally saw Zhou Bingqing's muddled eyes clearly.

He recognized them all too well; their eyes were exactly the same as those of Li Changhong and Li Changhe, whom he had met before at the Sixth Prince's residence, who had come back from the dead.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Bingqing is about to explode!

Sure enough, Zhou Bingqing's body began to expand rapidly, giving the others no chance to escape, and then exploded with a loud bang.

Not only Zhou Bingqing, but also the maids accompanying her in the carriage all had glazed eyes, their bodies rapidly swelled, and then exploded...

Boom boom boom...

The explosion lasted for a long time before it finally ended.

Zhou Bingqing and the others had limited cultivation levels, so the aftershocks from their self-destruction were only moderate. However, the ten cartloads of excrement beside them also exploded along with their self-destruction...

The sight of countless birds flying in the sky was truly magnificent.

Tie Shanyue had the highest cultivation level, and the explosion barely left him with any injuries, but his head and face were covered in excrement, and his previous carefree and magnanimous laughter was completely gone.

In comparison, Tie Moxiang was in a much worse state. Not only was his head and face covered in excrement, but because he had no cultivation, he was also blasted and injured all over. At this moment, he was nowhere to be seen the elegant and serene demeanor he had just displayed.

The most tragic one has to be Zhou Tianci.

Just as the explosion triggered and he shouted that something was wrong, a clump of feces flew right into his open mouth...

In an instant, the entire barbarian camp was filled with a stench that was indescribable.

Almost simultaneously, a massive explosion occurred in both the palaces of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The self-destruction of the men in black and gray, while not causing significant harm to the Barbarian Emperor and Empress respectively, did shred their clothes considerably, leaving them in a rather disheveled state...

……

Meanwhile, Qin Changye and his party entered the northern border army camp.

What came into view were broken military flags, rusted weapons, and many listless soldiers...

Qin Changye and the others couldn't help but frown.

A year ago, this place was home to 300,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers, making it the most solid iron wall in the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now, these 100,000 newly recruited remnants are huddled in this dilapidated military camp.

They were invincible and had long since become numb to defeat.

Especially not long ago, the battle led by the previous general Chu Fei wiped out more than half of their newly accumulated 200,000-strong northern army.

They will never forget that Chu Fei, the young general who led a female cheering squad and spent a long time in disguise before going to the battlefield, turned pale after seeing blood and knelt down on the spot in front of the barbarian army's butcher's knife...

It is said that after Chu Fei was captured, he was even killed by the young lady of the Iron Family Army of the Barbarian Kingdom in the bridal chamber.

They felt increasingly hopeless, and the barbarian kingdom took advantage of their vulnerability, secretly bribing many soldiers to act as spies for the barbarian kingdom.

These spies used various pretexts, such as withholding military pay, to demoralize the troops.

Calling them an army of 100,000 is an understatement; they were more like a disorganized mob.

"General Qin has arrived. He is the newly appointed general of our northern border army."

A routine announcement came from behind me.

Inside the camp, the soldiers stood in a dense mass, almost none of them straightening up; they just stood there lazily.

The veteran in the front row had gray hair and was clutching a broken spear in his hand, the tip of which was so blunt it could almost be used as a hammer.

Seeing Qin Changye, I couldn't help but sigh, "Another scion of a prestigious family has arrived, gilded with experience!"

Then, he saw a group of aristocratic scions dressed in brocade robes behind Qin Changye and continued to sigh, "This time, it's not just one scion of a prestigious family who's been given a makeover, but a whole group of them!"

The other soldiers shared the same thought, thinking to themselves that when Chu Fei came last time, he only brought a female cheering squad, but this time Qin Changye brought a whole squad of princes to gain prestige!

Each crop is worse than the last!

There is absolutely no hope for the North!

They had been living in the North, where they were kept in the dark.

They were unaware of what had happened in the capital these past few days.

Little did they know that Qin Changye had already risen to power.

Their assessment of Qin Changye was still that of a useless, sycophantic prince, a tiger father and a dog son, a tiger grandfather and a dog grandson!

Qin Changye could roughly guess what the Northern soldiers were thinking from their expressions. He didn't say anything to explain, but simply gestured with his eyes for Xiu'er to open the spatial rings one by one.

Instantly, spirit stones, armor, and brand-new weapons were continuously taken out of the spatial ring and piled up in the center of the camp.

The spirit stones shone brightly, and the brand-new armor and weapons reflected a dazzling, cold light.

The once lifeless army of 100,000 suddenly fell silent.

All eyes were fixed on the mountain of supplies, and everyone's breathing grew heavier.

"These are the military pay that the Great Zhou owes you, the armor you will soon wear, and the swords you will soon hold."

Qin Changye's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every soldier: "It's getting late today, so store it in the warehouse for the night, and we'll start distributing it first thing tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Qin Changye turned and left.

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Are the soldiers receiving their pay?

New armor?

New weapons?

As they watched Qin Changye's retreating figure and the scions of noble families surrounding him, their dim eyes suddenly brightened.

Compared to Chu Fei, who only cared about applying rouge to his face and flirting with the female cheerleaders after arriving in the Northern Territory, Qin Changye seemed somewhat different.

At least the supplies he brought were genuine.

As for whether he can fight, and whether he will faint from blood and kneel down on the battlefield, that's hard to say!

"Master, the moonlight is beautiful tonight. Why not distribute the soldiers' pay, weapons, and armor tonight? Why wait until tomorrow?"

Upon returning to the command tent, Master Ta asked the first question.

Beside him, Ren Pingsheng and the others also looked at Qin Changye with puzzled eyes.

The 100,000 soldiers in the North have been owed wages for far too long, their armor and weapons are long overdue for replacement, and their morale is at its lowest point.

Immediately distributing military pay, armor, and weapons would certainly boost morale more quickly and effectively.

Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Qin Changye explained in detail: "The military pay, armor and weapons are still in great use in the storeroom. To be precise, I want to use them as bait to catch two big fish."

Everyone was even more puzzled, and Master Ta blurted out, "Master, what are those two big fish you mentioned?"
