Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Upon hearing Clovis II's desire to surrender, the faces of the remaining nobles were filled with resentment and trepidation.

Just as everyone fell silent, an elderly man dressed in luxurious clothes walked in hurriedly and then delivered some terrible news.

"Gentlemen, just half a month ago, the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were destroyed by the Tang army!"

"The Tang army is surrounding us from the sea!"

what!

The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms have been destroyed by the Tang army?

So fast?

Despite being divided into seven kingdoms and plagued by internal strife, the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, protected by the sea, remained powerful.

Unexpectedly, the Tang army destroyed the powerful Anglo-Saxon kingdoms without making a sound!

There was silence for a long time.

Clovis II abruptly stood up and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

"Can the Tang army really fly over our heads?"

The Tang army had not even reached the west coast yet, so how could they possibly destroy the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms behind them?

The old man said with a bitter face, "The Tang army set off from the Visigothic Kingdom and the small northern countries in large ships, landed directly in the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and resolved the battle within half a month."

"Now, apart from Rouen and a few surrounding cities, the rest of the country has fallen into the hands of the Tang army."

"I estimate that the Tang army will launch an attack on us in about two days!"

Boom~

The old man's words struck everyone like a thunderbolt.

The thought of becoming prisoners of the Tang army, losing all their wealth and status, and even having their wives and daughters become playthings for the Tang army turned the faces of these nobles ashen.

After a long time.

Clovis II stood up and said, “Go and surrender to the Tang army and try to get lenient treatment. Even if we can’t keep our current wealth and status, it’s good to be a rich man.”

Upon hearing Clovis II's words, everyone else could only smile wryly to themselves.

To become a wealthy man?

is it possible?

They are currently short of soldiers and generals, so what bargaining power do they have to negotiate with the Tang army?

But they also knew in their hearts that if they did not surrender to the Tang army now, they would only face death when the city walls were breached.

"Yes, I agree with surrendering."

"I agree too."

"Your Majesty, I suggest sending Empress Balthirde to surrender to the Tang army. Perhaps, with her beauty, we can buy ourselves a chance to survive."

"Yes, the Empress should be made to surrender!"

"The Queen is the most beautiful woman in our Merovingian dynasty. She is also the embodiment of wisdom and kindness. Now only she can plead for us."

"..."

Upon hearing his ministers' words, Clovis II's face flushed red, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

His wife was originally an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman. After her family was destroyed, she was sold into slavery. In the spring of this year, she was bought by the Mayor of the Palace, Elsinaud, and given to him as his wife because of her beauty.

Although they have become husband and wife, they have not yet held a wedding ceremony, nor have they consummated their marriage.

Queen Baltilde was still a virgin!

Thinking of his beautiful and alluring queen, Clovis II licked his dry lips, preparing to take her virginity tonight.

Since we're going to surrender anyway, I might as well pluck this beautiful flower myself!

The courtiers noticed the lewd look on Clovis II's face. They exchanged glances, then spoke up to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, you absolutely must not lay a hand on the Empress!"

"If the Tang general prefers women with clean bodies, what you're doing will only drag us into an abyss!"

"I suggest that we send Empress Balthirde to find the Tang army now."

"To avoid any unforeseen complications!"

this...

Upon hearing his minister's words, Clovis II's expression changed, and his hands clenched into fists.

The thought that his own wife, whom he had never even touched, was about to become Tang general's plaything for the sake of their lives, made his heart bleed.

Seeing the hostile looks in his ministers' eyes, Clovis II sighed, "In that case, let the Queen lead the people to surrender..."

After he finished speaking, he slumped into his chair.

...

Three days later.

It is located in a small town about 30 miles from Rouen.

Beside the bed.

With the help of a woman who looked remarkably like British actress Lily Collins, Duhe struggled to put on her armor and then donned a luxurious fox fur coat.

The woman, her face flushed, thoughtfully straightened Du He's clothes.

She glanced at the bloodstains on the sheets, then thought of how she had been begged by the dynasty's people to be sent here to plead for those hypocritical figures, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

After some hesitation.

The woman then spoke up, saying, "King Han, our king sent me to surrender to you. We hope you will be merciful and spare their lives."

"If you can preserve their wealth and luxury, I will become your wife."

The beautiful woman spoke in a language that sounded like a mix of English and Latin, leaving Du He, who only had a rudimentary grasp of English, completely bewildered.

After she muttered to herself for a while...

Du He then waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, since they're trying to bribe me with beauties, I'll definitely spare their lives."

"After we escort them back to the Tang Dynasty, we will definitely send them to mine in mines with a higher safety factor."

"Don't worry about it."

Queen Baldil smiled as she spoke to the Tang army, believing that her envoys had worked, and a faint smile appeared on her face as well.

She originally wanted to go back to report, but Du He would never let her go back.

Du He chuckled and said, "You stay here and wait until I have completely destroyed the Merovingian Dynasty before I take you back to the Tang Dynasty."

"You are now my concubine, you cannot return to the wolf's den."

He had two Merovingian maids serve Baltilde, and then, together with Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and others, sped towards Rouen, a city thirty miles away.

After Queen Baltilde cut off the blood-red rose, she fell into a daze.

Why is she so unlucky?

Born into a noble family, he fell into poverty and became a slave when the kingdom split into seven countries.

She finally became the Queen of the Merovingian Dynasty, but before she could enjoy her good days for more than two days, she became a prisoner of the Tang army.

Thinking of the diverse and capable generals of the Tang army, she was filled with worry about the future.

Three hours later.

Duhe and his party encountered no resistance and completely controlled Rouen. The 1 soldiers in the city were imprisoned.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Xue Rengui let out a long sigh and said, "King Han, after three years, we have finally conquered all these European countries!"

"With the help of the Thunderclap Bomb, this battle was really easy!"

He had previously participated in the wars to destroy Goguryeo, Baekje, Xueyantuo, and the Western Turks. Before the advent of the Thunderclap Bomb, every major battle was a bloody one.

But with the advent of the Thunderclap Bomb, and especially with the emergence of bombardiers, they could easily crush their opponents in every major battle.

This is all thanks to the King of Han!

We chatted for a while.

Du He smiled and said, "Ren Gui, you should now lead your soldiers to control the surrounding cities and concentrate all the gold, silver and beautiful women in this city."

"After spending the winter here, we'll return to Chang'an immediately next spring."
