When Song Lihua learned that Jiuge had rebelled, the golden hairpin in her hand fell to the ground.

"She, she really rebelled?!"

She felt panic rising in her heart for no reason. "This bitch, she really rebelled. How could a woman like her be so bold!"

She is a woman, how could she do such a rebellious thing? "Why would she rebel? She must be crazy."

The people in high places were blind and had no idea why she wanted to rebel, but when the common people learned that the emperor did not provide food or pay to the soldiers, and even colluded with the enemy to murder tens of thousands of soldiers, they became completely disappointed with the royal family, and many people fled the capital.

The generals in the capital were also worried that Xiao Yue would send them out to quell the rebellion, and then find a reason to harm them.

Many frightened generals fled to Jiuge with their families.

Xiao Yue also knew the truth belatedly. He looked at the followers around him, "You all know?!"

The followers lowered their heads, and Xiao Yue felt a sense of shame spreading throughout his body from head to toe, inside and out. He stood with a group of eunuchs, and he felt that he was even more humble than them.

He stumbled back to his bedroom and wrapped himself in a quilt. It turned out that the whole world knew that he was a despicable man, but he was the only one who knew it now.

He hid in the quilt and shivered, as if this way others would not see his dirty side.

……

Jiuge fought his way back to Kyoto under the slogan of "Kill the tyrant emperor and punish the evil concubine".

On the way, she also recruited a large number of refugees. These people were fleeing because of natural disasters and man-made tragedies. The court did not care about their lives, and corrupt officials took the opportunity to collect money and robbed their food in the name of paying taxes.

Then they sold it to them at a high price. They went to seek justice, but the officials protected each other and they were driven away no matter where they went.

They were almost starving to death, so they had no choice but to seek refuge with Jiuge: "As long as you can give us food, we will do anything!"

Jiuge was just worrying about the lack of military pay, and when she felt sleepy, someone brought her a pillow, and she began her performance:

"These damn beasts, fellow villagers, you are all miserable people like me. We led the troops to fight, our lives were not guaranteed, and in the end, we were destroyed after crossing the river."

"You have worked hard all your life to farm the land and paid so much taxes, but in the end those corrupt officials took advantage of our suffering to make a fortune. This is why we want to rebel. We do this to seek justice for the people of the world."

"Sui Huan, let's add 'punish corrupt officials' to our slogan. We can't let these pests harm the common people."

In order to raise military pay, she asked the suffering people to lead the way for her. In less than half a month, she killed several corrupt officials. The money they embezzled was incalculable. After paying the military pay of tens of thousands of soldiers, there was still some left.

This further strengthened Jiuge's determination to fight corrupt officials. Her actions also attracted more persecuted people to join. Wherever she went, there were people providing her with clues, and she received a lot of stolen money as a result.

Later, she met the people who had provided her with food again, and they looked at her with fear.

Jiuge greeted them with a smile: "Oh, kind people, it's you. I once told you that if the war is victorious, I will let the emperor reward you, but he may not keep his promise. But don't worry, I will remember you. When I succeed, I will personally give you plaques."

The eyes of those wealthy businessmen lit up. Since it was already like this, they might as well give it a try.

So Jiuge had a source of food, and she asked Zhu Anran to go to Pingguan for her.

……

When Chan Guang saw that the cave that Jiuge had dug was full of food, his brain didn't react for a moment. He looked at the cave and then at the ravine outside.

He finally reacted: "Damn, you bastards, I was wondering why you went to so much trouble to dig the mountain, but you hid the food here, and then dug a river to cover it up. You are so insidious, you have been planning this for so long."

Zhu Anran kicked him and said, "What are you yelling about? Come and move the food quickly. If you don't eat it, it will go moldy."

This was something Jiuge had tricked the Queen into giving him, so it can’t be wasted.

Changuang was still unhappy. He didn't even notice so much food right under his nose. It really made him angry.

Zhu Anran shouted at him: "What are you looking at? Move quickly, this is a rebellion."

Chan Guang moved things reluctantly. Could he build it?

When Zhu Anran delivered food, her team grew even stronger without Jiuge's call. Some people knew she was coming and even helped her open the city gate to welcome her.

She also did as the people wished, beheaded corrupt officials one after another, and gave them a peaceful life.

……

As they got closer and closer to Kyoto, Xiao Yue became more and more scared. He didn't expect Jiuge to rebel over such a small matter.

"What right do you have to rebel? You are not dead, why are you holding on to me?"

He ordered his generals to go out to fight, but when a person's achievements reach a certain level, people will not choose to confront, but to surrender.

As more and more generals left, Xiao Yue realized that there were not many useful people around him. Oh, it was because he was busy enjoying himself and didn't pay attention to government affairs at all. Later, he didn't listen to advice, and the ministers were too lazy to care about him.

He overturned everything in front of him and said, "Assholes! You are all a bunch of assholes. Go find that bitch and kill her immediately. If you can't find her, you can all die!"

Some were forced to go to the battlefield, but when faced with Jiuge's massive army, they chose to surrender.

Xiao Yue was angry again: "Are you all useless? You can't even beat a woman."

Song Lihua couldn't be happy now. If Jiuge really reached the capital, her fate would be unimaginable.

More importantly, if they lost, she would not be able to face Jiuge, who was more dazzling than her.

She said to Xiao Yue, "Your Majesty, didn't they rebel because of the military pay? You can find someone to negotiate with her and give her money. And as for that... murder..., does she have any evidence? She is probably just looking for an excuse to rebel."

Xiao Yue thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. If Jiuge stopped, he would have plenty of ways to deal with her in the future.

He said to Song Lihua: "Go ahead. You grew up with her. She will definitely listen to you."

Song Lihua's face twisted. "I, I'll go, Your Majesty, have you forgotten that she and I have been at odds since childhood, and she has been expelled from our family. How could she possibly listen to me?"

Xiao Yue's face was horribly ferocious: "I don't care, you have to make her stop. If you can't do it, then what's the use of me keeping you."

Song Lihua wanted to refuse, but Xiao Yue didn't listen to her at all and just threw her in front of the battle.
