Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Having said this, everyone's faces suddenly filled with excited smiles.

The power of following the dragon is not so unattainable...

As long as everything goes well, glory and wealth will be at your fingertips.

The Queen Mother was also smiling, and her smile was somewhat meaningful.

She didn't lie to the garrison generals she summoned just now. This was indeed her strategy.

But that wasn't all she planned.

She would never place all her hopes on one person or force. She was always cautious and naturally had a backup plan, and could not tell anyone her plans.

After a while, the banquet for everyone to wash away the dust officially began.

At the banquet, the Queen Mother lowered her profile slightly and sang and drank with everyone. However, the generals who had to go all the way to the dark side because of their many connections with the Queen Mother kept making generous speeches, stating that they would serve the Queen Mother no matter what. and the position of King Qin to regain the country.

This banquet can be described as a feast of host and guest, with great enthusiasm.

And when after three rounds of wine, night falls and the lanterns are first lit——

Rumble boom! !

Suddenly there was a rumble of horse hooves outside.

A clear shock was heard, and everyone's movements stopped abruptly.

"What's going on? Where is the sound of horse hooves coming from?"

An official dressed as a scribe asked with a frown.

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother.

However, the Queen Mother had a smile on her face and looked very understanding.

"Everyone, please relax, this is a distinguished guest invited by me."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up and walked outside.

"It just so happens that the banquet is not over yet. You can follow me to welcome these distinguished guests who, like you, can completely turn things around for me."

Completely turn things around?

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

The current situation has basically been determined. Apart from her nephew and daughter-in-law who governs Huangzhou, there are not many people she can rely on. They are definitely the most important ones.

After all, they are not only superior in strength, they can work with Gu Simiao to contain the Holy King Cangming and directly compete with the Cangming Army. They also control the military power of some of the garrisons in various places, and can suddenly attack at critical moments. What a perfect power this is...

With them here, the Lord can take back the world simply by lying down.

And now...the Queen Mother actually said that the other party is as important as them?

Does this kind of thing exist in this world?

"Queen Mother, the distinguished guest you are talking about is..."

Empress Dowager Zhao gave it up and said with a chuckle: "You will find out when you come with me."

After saying that, she left the city lord's palace directly and led everyone towards the city wall.

When everyone came to the city wall, they leaned over and saw a group of white-armored cavalry with extremely neat and solemn appearance standing in the storm.

After seeing clearly the military appearance of the soldiers below, and feeling the murderous intent contained in them, the smile that was originally easy on the Queen Mother's face suddenly froze slightly.

Such uniform armor, such solemn aura...

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something that the barbarian cavalry from the foreign race can possess.

In the Cangwu Icefield, apart from the barbarians, only one force has cavalry...

"Queen Mother, they are..."

The old man just now asked softly.

The Queen Mother ignored him, but stared down with a rather ugly expression.

After a moment, a white figure slowly emerged from the crowd.

She raised her head and stared at the Queen Mother Zhao on the city wall with her cold eyes, a look of depth in her eyes.

"The Queen Mother, your humble minister, and the Governor of Huangzhou, Gu Simiao, would like to send you my regards."

Chapter 138 The End of the Old Era

Hearing Gu Simiao sign up, seeing the terrifying cold air that was constantly distorting the light and shadow around her body, and the extremely strong aura exuding from her whole body, the soldiers around the Queen Mother were suddenly startled.

what happened?Didn't the Queen Mother say that Gu Simiao had personally led the army to the Suzhou battlefield and was about to fight against the Holy King Cangming?Why does it appear here?

Tianshuang City is the rear area...

And why is this atmosphere so weird? As the future niece-in-law of the Queen Mother, why is Gu Simiao so cold and overflowing with spiritual power when facing the Queen Mother, as if she is about to explode into a deadly battle with the enemy.

Is she the honored guest the Queen Mother mentioned?

Is Gu Simiao a guest?

Isn't she the lord of the deserted state?

Thinking of this, everyone immediately looked away from Gu Simiao and looked at the Queen Mother with doubts on their faces.

However, they saw the Queen Mother inexplicably clenching her fists, frowning, and her face was inexplicably ugly, not at all as high-spirited as before.

"Miao'er, didn't you go to Suzhou? Why did you come here suddenly to see me?"

Gu Simiao stretched out her hand, and while spiritual energy poured into her palm crazily, a rare and meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"The Queen Mother has been in Huangzhou for many days, and I haven't sent any gifts yet. I'm here to make up for it today, as a surprise for you, the Queen Mother."

Upon hearing this, the ominous premonition in Queen Mother Zhao's heart suddenly broke out.

If she hadn't realized what was happening at this time, her years of being the leader would have been in vain.

"Oh?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Simiao, and said with a smile on her face: "Miao'er is indeed extremely filial. He did not hesitate to abandon his subordinates in Suzhou who were being slaughtered by the Holy King Cangming, and came all the way to give gifts to this palace. He was really thoughtful. ”

The double entendre of the word "filial piety" caused a strange look to flash across Gu Simiao's face.

In her mind, the secret method of ultra-long-distance peeping that she had launched before at the cost of her soul appeared inexplicably. What she saw in the violent consumption of soul power made her tremble.

"Even if you, as a father, don't believe in her, the civil and military officials in the court don't believe in her, and the whole world doesn't believe in her, I will never waver in the slightest."

The extremely firm words rang in his mind again.

The figure that made her toss and turn seemed to appear in front of her, making her breath stagnant.

Although the scene when they met by chance has long been blurred, Lu Chen's unwavering look now is deeply engraved in his heart.

That's right, she had no intention of helping the Queen Mother make a comeback from the beginning. All this was just to clear out the rebellious officials and traitors headed by the Queen Mother in one fell swoop, and to completely eliminate the hidden dangers and instability caused by the Queen Mother's six years of chaos in Daxia.

Since the Queen Mother and the remnants of the party were able to escape from the hands of Holy King Cangming and ascend to heaven, they must have a trump card to save their lives. If they act rashly without adequate preparation, there is almost no possibility of success.

As long as the Queen Mother does not die, the countless wealth she controls, the prestige she has accumulated during her six years in charge, and the remnant parties rooted in various parts of Great Xia will continue to threaten the stability of Great Xia and make the already precarious society even more violently turbulent.

And now, since she has taken off the mask of rebellion, it means that the plan has reached the final stage.

Lu Chen was indispensable for the current situation.

If it weren't for his unreserved trust, he risked everything to vouch for her and bought her half a month, so that she wouldn't have to follow her original plan to lure Holy King Cangming out of Luojing and spend a lot of resources on it. Activating the ancient formation that could rescue the Gu family helped her save a huge amount of resources. There was no way her plan would go so smoothly.

With ample time and a lot of resources saved, she was fully confident.

How can we not remember such kindness in our hearts?

After a moment, Gu Simiao suddenly took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "Over the years, the Queen Mother, your 'care' for the guards of the Cang Ling Army, I have always seen it in my eyes and remembered it in my heart. Now it is rewarded." Opportunity, as the commander-in-chief of the Cang Ling Army, I will naturally repay you well."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Zhao quietly put down her sleeves, covered her hands, and said expressionlessly:

"I wonder what surprise Miao'er wants to give me?"

"Your Majesty, please look."

Gu Simiao suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed it.

The next second, where her little hand scratched, the originally calm space suddenly experienced ripples of time and space. Finally, in a violent distortion, several bloody human heads suddenly fell down and hit Zhui Feng. Next to the horse's hoof, a trail of blood red was left on the snow in an instant.

Looking carefully, half of those heads were the alien leaders who had previously negotiated with the Queen Mother.

The remaining half was tied with a hairstyle that only high-status dignitaries of the foreign race could wear. At a glance, it was obvious that the head of a man of high status was high.

Seeing these heads, the expressions of Queen Mother Zhao and Xia Houyan darkened visibly.

But those remnants of the Queen Mother who had traveled thousands of miles were a little confused.

What do you mean?

However, Queen Mother Zhao had no time to explain to them at this time.

Gu Simiao retracted her hand and gently pressed it on the hilt of Bing Shang's sword at her waist. Then she raised her brows slightly, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"How is it? Queen Mother, do you like my gifts and surprises?"

Hearing these words, Queen Mother Zhao looked at Gu Simiao with extremely cold eyes. As her red lips opened and closed, her words filled with murderous intent slowly sounded out.

"why?"

From the moment those alien heads fell to the ground, they were completely at odds with each other.

There is nothing left to hide.

Gu Simiao smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "Because, no matter what, I am Gu Simiao from Daxia. I am the eldest daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion who has been loyal and good for generations."

Empress Dowager Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "I will treat you well!"

"Not thin?"

Gu Simiao seemed to have heard some big joke, "You mean, over the years, you have successively used heavy sums of money and all kinds of natural materials and treasures to bribe seven Cang Ling military guards commanders including Tang Ping, Bao He, and Chai Yuan, as well as a group of people. Is it that the middle and lower-level generals are constantly infiltrating the military and political affairs of Huangzhou and secretly recruiting more than [-] guardsmen under their command?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Mother Zhao couldn't help but shrink her pupils.

She soon realized that she had underestimated the powerful Guiyi Realm master after all.

In other words, they underestimated Gu Simiao, a peerless figure who was already famous all over the world at the age of only 25.

What she did secretly in Huangzhou did not escape her eyes at all.
