"Done!"
Xue Rengui only thought about it for a moment before accepting the invitation.
He had originally wanted to compete with Huo Qubing, and now that the invitation had been delivered to him, if he didn't dare to make a move, wouldn't that be admitting defeat?
He took a deep breath, picked up a pen, wrote a reply on a piece of white paper, and had it delivered to Huo Qubing, indicating that he had accepted the responsibility.
Then Xue Rengui shouted, "Men! Prepare the troops and march!"
Marching forth!
Upon hearing those two words, the Great Tang army erupted in cheers. They had waited so long for this day, and they would no longer have to fight with these children.
The army quickly assembled, fully equipped and ready to go, instantly alerting Sang Mo, who was stationed there.
Seeing the Great Tang army begin to assemble, Sang Mo's heart skipped a beat. He had stayed here to appease Xue Rengui and strengthen relations between the two sides, but seeing this situation, he couldn't sit still any longer.
He disregarded all etiquette and jumped out, trembling with fear, asking, "General Xue, where are you going to fight?"
He silently prayed that they wouldn't harm Frostwest, but there was hardly anyone else around besides Frostwest.
Xue Rengui gave him a deep look and said in a deep voice, " Sang Mo, this matter is not my fault. It's just that Huo Qubing has gone too far, and I simply couldn't tolerate it!"
"What?"
Sang Mo trembled. What did he mean by "I can't blame you"?
His heart pounded. Was the Great Tang about to take action against Frostwest, which was why he had said that?
He said bitterly, "General, you won't want..."
Why!
Xue Rengui sighed, handed him a strip of cloth, and said angrily, "Look how arrogant this guy is! I really can't stand it anymore. I hope you won't blame me!"
Sang Mo took the strip of cloth and saw the blood-red writing on it, causing her heart to pound wildly.
[How laughable is this tiny Great Tang! Huo Qubing is about to storm the Tiele City! Come on if you dare! If you don't, you're not a man!]
Huo Qubing!
Tiele City!
Sang Mo's heart sank, and she said bitterly, "General Xue, he's clearly using a provocation tactic to deliberately make you share his burden. We have a good relationship, and he even gave you so many gifts. You absolutely cannot do anything rash!"
He was speechless. This was like children arguing. This great general of the Great Tang Dynasty was far too easily fooled!
Sorry, bro!
Xue Rengui shook his head seriously and said in a deep voice, "I hate it most in this life when people say I'm not a man. Since Huo Qubing is so arrogant, I'll show him what a real man is!"
As for the Frostwest Empire, I can only apologize. I'll be gentler, considering the gift!
After saying that, he waved his hand, and immediately men came and dragged Sang Mo away, then placed him under house arrest.
"Be gentle?"
Sang Mo's face froze, and he stood there dumbfounded. This time, he was doomed.
Seeing the other person's eyes, he knew they had made up their mind, so he could only smile wryly, followed by deep worry.
These two actually set their sights on Tiele City in Frostwest, which is their own capital. If they were to become their target, wouldn't they be doomed?
He murmured, "Minister of War, you must hold on!"
After Xue Rengui rallied his troops, he launched an attack on the Frostwest without hesitation. The Great Tang's elite forces poured out into the north, and the whole process was called an undeclared war!
After he breached the Frostwest, he immediately raised the slogan of "purging the court of corrupt officials" and marched straight to the front.
Compared to Huo Qubing's position, his position is much closer, and the key points are simple and direct: as long as these places are taken, Tiele City will be within easy reach!
When the news spread, Frostwest was shocked; her worst fears had come true!
Bill IV was furious, roaring, "Damn Huo Qubing, damn Xue Rengui, they don't understand the bigger picture! How dare they? Don't they know there's a ferocious wolf watching the West all the time?"
He originally wanted to be on good terms with Great Tang and Great Han, at least with the Great Tang, so that he could better deal with the situation later. Now, the Great Tang has also taken action.
These people are complete idiots; they can't see the situation clearly.
Once the West descends into chaos, the ever-watchful Great Liang will inevitably launch a full-scale invasion, plunging the entire West into catastrophe.
His heart trembled. If this situation couldn't be resolved, the Frostwest Empire would probably be devoured by these forces, and he would have no way out!
"Forehead!"
Ashley frowned slightly; he also felt that this matter was very strange.
The Great Tang's sudden shift from initially declaring friendship with Frostwest to now taking action against Frostwest is too rapid; there must be something fishy going on.
But now is not the time to talk about that; the key is how to stop the Great Tang!
Aksu had previously taken more than 200,000 people away. If more people were to be transferred out, the borders of the Great West Empire and the Great Liang Empire would be left vulnerable.
Neither of them are pushovers; they might both try to take advantage of any weakness.
He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to intercept the Great Tang. The north cannot be lost, otherwise Frostwest will be in a passive position. Moreover, we must prevent the Great Liang and Great West Empire from taking advantage of the situation. Frostwest is now at a critical moment of life and death!"
" Great Liang and Great West!"
Bill IV's face turned extremely grim; this was certainly not good news.
He took a deep breath, glanced at the assembled officials, and said in a deep voice, "My esteemed ministers, what do you think is the best course of action to salvage the situation...?"
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
He was just about to speak when a guard hurried in.
His face was filled with fear and panic, and he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which made everyone's hearts skip a beat. Something bad had happened again.
Bill IV swallowed back his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Such rudeness, what exactly happened?"
"Your Majesty, we have discovered an article that has been circulating from the East. Its contents are extremely terrifying and may be very detrimental to Your Majesty!" the visitor said with a look of fear.
article?
Bill IV frowned and said in a deep voice, "What is it? Let me see it!" He took the paper, glanced at it, and instantly a clue came to mind.
Paper was invented by the Great Liang. Although it has recently been exported to the West, ultimately the Great Liang Dynasty still possessed a large quantity of paper. This article is probably also related to the Great Liang.
He glanced at the contents; they were written in Frostwest's handwriting, and the content immediately caught his eye.
In an instant, his face turned deathly pale; his worst fears had come true.
He practically gritted his teeth as he said, " Great Liang, you've finally made your move!"
Princess Anne's declaration was undoubtedly a sharp file, not only confirming her guilt in killing her father but also publicly declaring her succession illegitimate.
