Could These Heads Have Hung Themselves Up?

Many people come here on orders, isn't it all for the sake of achieving immortality?

Including the Great Qi Kingdom, the Great Xia Kingdom, the Northern Yan, the Southern Chu Kingdom, the Snow Khanate, the Mobei Uyghur, Khotan in the Western Regions, and the Kingdom of Persia...

There are also many, many countries whose names I don't know, all gathered here.

There's no time for war now!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the tomb.

The saying "Whoever obtains the War God's Tomb will rule the world" is enough to drive people mad.

Just as the people next door finished their discussion, Zhou Min walked over and said, "Zhou Wanwan, I didn't expect to see you here too?"

Zhou Lan frowned and said, "Hidden here without making a sound, are you doing this on purpose?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Lan pointed at Zhou Wanwan's nose and said:

"You actually asked us who we are? We're your cousins."

Zhou Wanwan, now that you've made so much money, you don't even recognize your own sisters anymore?

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "My mother only gave birth to one daughter, me. Where did this older sister come from?"

Zhou Lan looked at her and said, "Don't pretend. You clearly know me, Zhou Wanwan. You can't forget your roots."

Zhou Min smiled and said, "I'm Zhou Fu'an's youngest daughter, do you remember me?"

Zhou Wanwan said "Oh," and Zhou Min's eyes lit up. Only then did Zhou Wanwan say, "Not familiar."

Zhou Min was almost furious, but she patiently said, "Wanwan, Grandma often mentions you to me, saying you're smart and clever. When you have time, you should go home and see Grandma!"

Zhou Lan snorted coldly and said, "She's very busy! She actually thought of doing business at the border; she's quite bold."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

What I want to do is none of your business.

If I'm not mistaken, our two families are no longer related. What right do you have to tell me what to do?

Princess Jianing stepped forward and said, "You are sisters after all, and these two are your elder sisters. How can you speak to them like that?"

With tears welling in her eyes, Zhou Lan said, "That whole family are ungrateful wretches, they were like that back then..."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Back then, you wanted to sell me to Pockmarked Liu in the village."

If my parents hadn't been unwilling, I probably wouldn't be alive now.

Besides, my dad isn't your grandma's biological son, so don't try to claim any connection.

Zhou Lan was speechless for a moment, Zhou Min sighed and said:

"Wanwan, I know you've been holding a grudge about this, but Grandma said it was just a joke."

You were only 5 years old then, you didn't understand anything.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "So she was just joking. Does that mean I can joke around too and sell your whole family?"

Zhou Min's expression changed and she said:

"Wanwan, that's not very nice of you to talk like that."

Actually, it's not just Grandma, even my parents want your family to be reunited.

I came to the border this time because my family was worried about you and asked me to come and see you.

Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it."

Zhou Lan tugged at Zhou Min and said:

Why are you telling her so much?

She's completely impervious to reason; she has no idea about our good intentions.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said, "You two sisters have already done enough. If she doesn't appreciate it, that's her business. We just need to have a clear conscience."

Zhou Min sighed and said:

"Wanwan, you're definitely planning to go into the War God's Tomb, right?"

Why don't we travel together then? That way we can look out for each other.

Zhou Wanwan could easily guess what Zhou Min was up to.

So you wanted her to come along to the War God's Tomb?

Zhou Wanwan refused. "Forget it! The War God's Tomb isn't suitable for me."

Zhou Min looked at her and said:

"Wanwan, don't refuse. Your sister will definitely take good care of you."

"If there are any good treasures in the tomb, I'll leave them all to you."

The Great Qi of Daqi sneered, "Someone like her would just be throwing her life away and wasting resources."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Great Qi and said:

Whether I go in or not, what does it have to do with you? Whether I'm throwing my life away or not, what does it have to do with you?

What resources have I wasted? I haven't wasted any of your resources, and you don't have any resources to waste.

Those resources were obtained solely through the Zhao Family.

The Great Qi's expression changed drastically. "Insolence! Who do you think you are? Here she is, seize her!"

But no one paid any attention to him even after he called out for a long time.

He looked at Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Mingzhu said, "Are they all dead? Come out here right now! Drag this brat away and give her thirty lashes."

But no one came out no matter how many times they called.

As Zhao Mingzhu walked out of the teahouse, she saw more than 30 heads hanging on a tree.

She was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, and the severed heads flew straight towards her.

Zhao Mingzhu screamed, "Help! There's a ghost!"

The people around him burst into laughter, saying, "Where did this come from? Shouting for war and killing, he actually dares to try and kill our city lord. He's really overestimating himself."

Zhao Mingzhu looked at Zhou Wanwan in horror and said, "Did you do it? Do you believe I'll kill you?"

Zhou Wanwan said helplessly:

"Big sister, I've been standing right in front of you the whole time. Do you really think I could have done it?"

Besides, I'm only six years old, what can I do?

Zhao Mingzhu pointed at the heads and said, "You're still trying to deny it! Did you hang these heads up yourself?"

Zhou Wanwan said helplessly:

"Big sister, let me explain, no, let me tell you, things aren't as you think."

I honestly have no idea how those heads got there; I was standing right next to you.

The Great Qi looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You vixen, what exactly did you do?"

Zhou Wanwan spread her hands and said:

"Fine! If you insist on accusing me, then I'll admit it!"

I did it, I killed them, what do you want?

Do you really want me to hang your heads up too?

The Old Scholar Tree beside him said, "Wanwan, why don't we hang up the head of the Crown Prince of the Great Qi Kingdom too? That would make my tree look nicer."

Zhao Mingzhu pointed at the tree and said, "Cut that tree down! Cut it down!"

The guards behind Zhao Mingzhu all rushed towards the Old Scholar Tree Old Scholar Tree tree, wielding broadswords and hacking at it.

As soon as he made a single slash, the blade snapped with a clang, and the guards were so shocked that they coughed up blood.

"What kind of tree is this? How can it be so hard?"

"Isn't this just an ordinary Scholar Tree? I refuse to believe we can't cut it down today."

One of the guards didn't believe it, so he drew a knife and slashed the guard more than a dozen times. As a result, the guard coughed up blood and lay on the ground, motionless.

Another guard went over and checked his breathing, saying, "Dead..."

Zhao Mingzhu shouted, "This tree is abnormal! Let's cut it down right now!"

In an instant, countless guards drew their swords, but unfortunately, they were all killed by the shock, their meridians shattered.

This is too bizarre.

Looking at the guards bleeding from their seven orifices, Zhao Mingzhu asked, "What exactly happened to this tree?"

Someone whispered, "This is a sacred tree! It's near the War God's Tomb, so it must be the sacred tree guarding the War God's Tomb!"

Everyone knelt down. "Homage to the sacred tree! Homage to the sacred tree!"

Old Scholar Tree:...
