Who Could Accept a Six-Year-Old Child as Emperor?

Zhou Wanwan completely ignored her.

In no time, the soldiers' armor was riddled with holes and torn to shreds.

Some people had their clothes torn to shreds, their bodies covered in red marks and small wounds, looking disheveled and miserable.

Shangguan Wan'er looked down and saw that her silver-white armor was riddled with holes and the edges were curled up.

His clothes were torn to shreds, riddled with holes, leaving him in such a sorry state that he was practically naked.

She was in pain, ashamed, and angry all at once, and burst into tears on the spot.

Zhou Wanwan! You're bullying me!

What kind of hero do you think you are! If you're so capable, then do it openly, don't hide in the shadows and resort to underhanded tricks!

Zhou Wanwan simply stood on the high place, coldly watching her wail and scream, without saying a word.

Shen Wanjun shouted at the top of his lungs towards the mountain:

Zhou Wanwan! Come out here right now!

I know you're nearby! I've come to discuss that hundred million taels of silver with you!

Zhou Wanwan slowly walked down the mountain path and said calmly, "Oh? What are you discussing? Are you here to repay the money?"

Upon seeing her, Shen Wanjun's legs went weak, and he said in a tearful voice:

You... you're not even human!

What methods did you use to ruin us all like this?

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow, her tone turning cold. "Enough nonsense. You're here today to pay back the money?"

Shen Wanjun trembled all over and said in a trembling voice:

"I... I don't have any money. I just wanted to discuss this with you. More than 100 million taels of silver is just too much."

Could you... could you make it a little less?

Zhou Wanwan chuckled softly and said:

"You all know better than anyone what you're here for. I don't have time to play along with your act."

Shen Wanjun, if you obediently repay your debts, I'll respect you as a man.

But since you've gone back on your word like this, don't blame me for being ruthless.

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Suddenly, a lieutenant in the crowd drew an arrow, nocked it, aimed at Zhou Wanwan's back, and fired a powerful shot!

The arrow hurtled through the air, about to pierce her body!

But just as the arrow tip was about to touch her clothes, it suddenly and mysteriously turned around and shot back!

With a "thud," it precisely pierced the deputy general's throat, pinning him to the ground instantly.

Silence fell instantly.

A soldier, pale with fright, pointed at the corpse and screamed, "No, no! The lieutenant is dead! The lieutenant was shot dead by an arrow!"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Zhou Wanwan with horror in her eyes and said, "You killed someone! You... you killed my father's deputy general! My father will never let you get away with this!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"Is it that your father won't let you off the hook, or that you yourself can't explain yourself?"

I didn't kill him. I was just standing here, without moving an inch.

As for why the arrow was shot at him, perhaps it was because he was such a bad person that even the arrow couldn't stand him."

The soldiers roared, "Nonsense! How could our deputy general be of bad character?"

"Avenge Deputy General Li! Kill her!"

"Charge!"

Soldiers have guts, and this group of men, carrying bows and crossbows, suddenly sensed something was wrong; their hands and feet were entangled in vines.

Their hands moved of their own accord, and they all pulled out daggers from their pockets and plunged them into their own chests.

"Bang bang bang..." Soldiers kept falling to the ground.

Shangguan Wan'er was so frightened that she burst into tears.

"Zhou Wanwan, you're not even human! How did you do that?"

Why do these vines obey your commands?

The other soldiers didn't dare to move and stood there blankly.

Zhou Wanwan scoffed coldly:

"Shangguan Wan'er, I don't think I've ever laid a hand on you, but you've been constantly making small moves."

I only bet with you when you want to, and now that I've lost, I can't afford to lose anymore.

And you, Shen Wanjun...

Shen Wanjun knelt down with a thud:

"Master, I was wrong, I will never do it again, please forgive me!"

I will pay you back, but I really don't have that much right now.

Watching Shen Wanjun's outrageous actions, Shangguan Wan'er said speechlessly, "Shen Wanjun, you're supposed to come from a prestigious family, can't you have some backbone?"

Shen Wanjun cried his heart out:

Can backbone be eaten as food? Can it be drunk as water?

"If it weren't for Zhou Wanwan's kindness, do you think we'd still be standing here?"

Zhou Wanwan was indeed kind and didn't want to stoop to their level.

But those trees couldn't stand seeing these people hurt Zhou Wanwan.

Shangguan Wan'er roared angrily, "She's merciful? If she were merciful, would she have killed so many of us?"

Zhou Wanwan sneered, "Shangguan Wan'er, are you blind? I'm standing right there, I haven't moved an inch."

Shangguan Wan'er angrily said:

"You didn't move, but these things obeyed your commands. I don't know where these monsters came from."

"Wait for me, I will definitely come back."

Shangguan Wan'er led a group of people down the mountain. The Old Scholar Tree said, "Wanwan, should we let them go down the mountain?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Let them go! After all, she's the general's daughter; we can't kill her."

The General of the Cavalry had at least several hundred thousand elite troops under his command, and she didn't want things to get out of control.

I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but there will be a lot of trouble.

Her life is peaceful now, and she doesn't want to be disturbed.

Shangguan Wan'er cried all the way home, while Zhou Wanwan returned to the mountain stronghold. When the civil and military officials saw Zhou Wanwan, they immediately knelt down.

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched as she said, "Grand Tutor, there's no need to kneel all the time. We're a more casual bunch in this stronghold; there's no need to be so formal."

Grand Tutor Zhao looked at her and said:

"You are the ruler of a country, so it is only right and proper for us to kneel before you, and you deserve it."

From this day forward, no matter who it is, this rule cannot be abolished.

The same etiquette applies here as it does in the imperial palace.

Zhou Wanwan couldn't help but roll her eyes and said helplessly:

"Grand Tutor Zhao, how many times have I told you? The palace is the palace. Do you think anyone can stand this situation?"

Besides, who could accept a woman as emperor?

Grand Tutor Zhao shook his head:

"What 'female emperor'? Your thinking is even more outdated than mine."

Why can't a woman be an empress? As long as it's good for the country and the people, I think that's fine.

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes again and sighed, "That's true, but no matter how things turn, it's not my turn to be the emperor!"

Grand Tutor Zhao raised his voice and said seriously:

"The emperor in the court now is completely controlled by the imperial concubine."

He has few children and no ability to govern the country. He has made a complete mess of the country, and it won't be long before the world is in chaos.

We cannot fight a battle we are not prepared for; we must prepare in advance.

Zhou Wanwan sighed softly, saying helplessly, "But think about it, who can accept a six-year-old child as emperor? Your idea is too unrealistic."

Grand Tutor Zhao quickly stepped forward to comfort her:

"It will definitely work! As long as we have a strong and well-equipped army, those people will naturally submit obediently."

Moreover, our stronghold already has over 100,000 soldiers, all of them highly elite; ordinary forces are no match for them."
