In a chaotic and famine-stricken era, I picked up an empress to be my wife.

The scene of the explosion just now violently impacted Yuwen Bingyu's senses.

She was completely bewildered. She had never experienced anything like this before, and her brain didn't know how to process it.

Even Li Huaiyi's current accusatory roar.

She couldn't hear a thing.

After a while, the explosion stopped, the screams ceased, and only the crackling sound of the flames remained.

She seemed to realize what was happening at that moment.

Looking at the scene before her, she immediately rubbed her eyes, desperately wishing that everything before her was an illusion.

She closed her eyes, and everything returned to normal.

"Why are you rubbing your eyes? You don't think it's a hallucination, do you?" Li Huaiyi questioned, spitting as he spoke.

These words brought Yuwen Bingyu to her senses.

Everything I'm seeing is real!

Because of her recklessness and desire to prove that women are superior to men, she caused the deaths of 30,000 of her men in flames.

"Let's face reality!" Yuwen Qin also said.

"Wei Min'er, Wei Min'er!"

Yuwen Bingyu screamed as if she had gone mad.

Yuwen Qin and Li Huaiyi thought that Yuwen Bingyu had finally seen through Wei Min'er's true nature.

But that's not the case. Yuwen Bingyu just didn't want to take responsibility; she just wanted to shift the blame to Wei Min'er.

Looking around, there was no sign of Wei Min'er. After the army attacked, Wei Min'er cleverly escaped.

Until now!

Yuwen Bingyu then truly realized that Wei Min'er was indeed a member of the Divine Dragon Society!

Wei Min'er has been sowing discord all along!

This caused Yuwen Bingyu to gasp in shock, followed by a surge of fury: "Damn it, Wei Min'er, how dare you lie to me! Where are you? Where are you! Everyone, find Wei Min'er! A reward of a thousand taels, no, ten thousand taels, will be given for her capture!"

Yuwen Qin and Li Huaiyi were so focused on observing the battlefield that they didn't notice Wei Min'er's departure at all.

This woman's actions towards Yuwen Bingyu have made them deeply realize the terrifying nature of the Divine Dragon Society.

If we don't bring her here, the dormitory will be in turmoil.

They immediately sent people to search for Wei Min'er, determined to capture her!

After doing all this, Yuwen Bingyu looked at the tragic scene before her, as if she had lost her soul and had no idea what to do next!

"Cheer up! Although we lost 30,000 men, we still have over 100,000. Now that the explosive traps have been used up, Shen An's only remaining means is the repeating crossbow bolts on the city wall. As long as we break through the city, with our numerical advantage, even if their Tang swords are incredibly tough, they can't possibly be a match for so many of us!" Yuwen Qin pulled Yuwen Bingyu along.

At this moment, Yuwen Bingyu's mind was blank, and she had no idea what to do.

Where is the idea of ​​a strong woman left?

Like a wounded little girl, she threw herself into Yuwen Qin's arms: "Brother, I will listen to you and Brother Huaiyi on how to command from now on."

Li Huaiyi spat directly onto the ground; he genuinely found Yuwen Bingyu disgusting.

Didn't she used to praise women's excellence and expect everyone to listen to her?

Why can't you handle a little setback?

Yuwen Qin, however, showed magnanimity: "Sister, you don't have to listen to everything I say. If we all brainstorm, there's no reason we can't defeat Shen An!"

"Yes, brother is right!"

The group then sat down together to discuss their next tactics.

Half an hour later, they decided to continue their attack. In their view, Shen An's foothold was not yet firm and his preparations would not be sufficient. If they continued to wear him down, once the crossbow bolts were used up, Shen An would have nothing left to resist them!

After the fire in front of the city died down.

They launched another attack!

Shen An had no choice but to take things seriously. Now that the explosive traps had been used up, he had no more explosive canisters or flammable and explosive materials left.

The decisive moment will depend on whether his crossbow bolts run out first, or whether their stone and wooden planks break first.

Let's see who can outlast whom!

The battle lasted until nightfall before it came to a halt.

Because Yuwen Bingyu's side had reinforced the stone and wooden planks and had enough men, even the number of crossbow bolts fired from Shen'an City Wall exceeded five hundred.

However, it could only barely stop them from attacking the city, and damaged less than 10% of their stone and wooden planks.

Only a couple of thousand people died!

This is definitely good news for Yuwen Bingyu and the others.

They realized that Shen An wasn't that strong, while they were much stronger than they had imagined.

If they hadn't been tricked by Wei Min'er, they would never have lost those 30,000 people, and their advantage would have been even greater!

This further solidified their resolve on their chosen path!

If this continues, Shen An's crossbow bolts will eventually run out!

To prevent Shen An's reinforcements from arriving, they dispatched 20,000 men to ambush the only route to Julu City.

More confident than ever, they decided to launch another attack after resting the next day!

Shen An's side.

Mr. Mingyue brought Wei Min'er to meet Shen An.

Shen An looked at Wei Min'er and thought she was very alluring and had a foxy appearance. She was not only good at provoking women, but she should also be very good at seducing men. She was indeed a talented person!

Wei Min'er was unaware that Mr. Mingyue had become Shen An's dog; she still thought that Shen An was being controlled by Mr. Mingyue.

I suddenly realized how amazing Mr. Mingyue was.

But the next moment, Mr. Mingyue kicked her to the ground: "Why don't you kneel before your lord?!"

"Mr. Mingyue, what do you mean by this?"

"Hmph, I have already submitted to my lord. You now have two choices: first, be killed now, or second, submit to my lord!" Mr. Mingyue said coldly.

"You're going to submit to him? Aren't you afraid the Dragon God will find out and retaliate against you!" Wei Min'er was completely unfazed by Shen An's actions; "Mingyue, you're really stupid, putting the cart before the horse. What future can you have following him?"

Mr. Mingyue was in a bad mood. Of course he knew how powerful the Divine Dragon Society was, and following Shen An was definitely not as promising as following the Divine Dragon Society.

But with his life and death in Shen An's hands, how could he not bow his head?

But he couldn't admit it. He arrogantly declared, "That's because you don't know our lord's true identity or how great his future potential is. If you want to live, submit to our lord now!"

"Don't try this trick on me. I know you're trying to threaten me with death. Let me tell you, I know you're just bluffing. At most, you'll face criminal charges, but you won't actually kill me!"

So, you should just give up! Wei Min'er seemed to see right through them: "Besides, Shen An, are you saying you want to be enemies with our Divine Dragon Society? Let me tell you, you won't live long if you provoke our Divine Dragon Society!"

"If you know what's good for you, give me your freedom now, or you'll suffer a terrible death!"

Before the words were even finished!

Shen An stepped forward and plunged the knife into Wei Min'er's stomach.

Her alluring eyes were filled with shock.

Mr. Mingyue felt the same way; they all thought Shen An was just bluffing and wouldn't actually kill Wei Min'er.

But he didn't even say hello before he started attacking.

"You, how could you actually kill someone!" Wei Min'er coughed up blood. In order to enter Julu City, she had gone around to the north city, thinking that she would be rewarded for her merits. Who knew that she would almost get herself killed.

"I don't like anyone threatening me, and anyone who threatens me must die!"

Shen An said this, but in reality, Wei Min'er saw things too clearly; she had no intention of serving him at all.

If you can't have it, destroy it!

At the same time, it also intimidated Mr. Mingyue, making him understand that Shen An would not hesitate to kill anyone he wanted to kill!

As he spoke, Shen An suddenly pulled the knife away!

Blood gushed from her lower abdomen, and Wei Min'er collapsed straight to the ground.

The deterrent effect that Shen An had anticipated had occurred. Mr. Mingyue gasped, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis welling up in his heart. He immediately knelt on the ground to pledge his loyalty to Shen An.

"Stop pledging loyalty. Among Li Huaiyi's three factions, there must be people from your Divine Dragon Society. You must find a way to make them sow discord among themselves and make the three of them suspicious of each other. We absolutely cannot let them be a united front!" Shen An ordered.

Mr. Mingyue could tell that even Shen An was uncertain about this war of attrition.

If his attempt to sow discord fails, Shen An will definitely kill him.

"Stop being silent, can you do it?" Shen An pressed.
