Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

After Yun Qingqing left, she continued on her way to the Beimo Palace. Her grandfather and his men would soon come to take over Moguan City and rescue the people. She didn't need to worry about this place anymore.

After traveling for half a month, Yun Qingqing arrived at the capital of Beimo Kingdom. As she stepped into the city, a prosperous scene came into view. There were shops lining both sides of the street, people coming and going, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another.

It was noon, and the aroma of food wafted from the restaurants along the street. Yun Qingqing was hungry, so she walked into a restaurant and sat down in a corner. The waiter came over to greet her warmly, and she ordered some food.

While waiting for the meal, I heard a few people from Beimo country talking loudly at the next table.

"Humph, the Duke of Protectorate has finally met his end. They defied us on the battlefield, acting as if they didn't take us seriously. Now, they've been beaten to a pulp by us."

"That's right, there's nothing great about their Duke of Protectorate Mansion. They call themselves the God of War, but they were still defeated by our General Jin." A man from the Northern Desert with a face full of flesh said with disdain as he drank wine in big gulps.

"That's right, our General Jin is the true God of War. The people from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion are nothing but ants in front of him."

"I heard that the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom confiscated the property of the Duke of Protectorate and exiled them. The Duke of Protectorate is really miserable. They were defeated on the battlefield and were abandoned by their emperor. But this is also a good thing for us in Beimo. We can completely control them." A Beimo man shook his head with a gloating smile on his face.

"It's what they deserve. It's their fault for not being tactful enough to defect to the Northern Desert Kingdom. If they had surrendered to our Northern Desert earlier, they wouldn't have ended up like this. Maybe they could have gotten a job in our Northern Desert and enjoyed endless wealth and glory." A Northern Desert man with a scar on his face said viciously.

When Yun Qingqing heard this, her eyes turned cold. She calmly used her wind ability and gently controlled the airflow. Suddenly, the wine glasses of the Beimo people at the next table fell to the ground.

Then the broken pieces of wine glass flew up and scratched the throats of those Northern Desert people. They didn't even have time to scream before they covered their necks, their eyes widened, blood oozing out from between their fingers, and their bodies slowly fell down.

The restaurant was instantly silent, and then the diners screamed in fear and ran out of the restaurant.

Yun Qingqing also quietly left in the chaos, then found a roadside stall and ate some noodles. Then she found a deserted place and quietly entered the space. "Xiaobai, help me become invisible. I need to go to the Beimo Palace to collect my things."

Xiaobai responded with a "humph" and then cast a spell to help Yun Qingqing become invisible.

"Xiaobai, it's great to have you." Yun Qingqing rubbed Xiaobai's head affectionately with her face, then gently pinched its ears and said, "Xiaobai, I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to accompany you well during this period. After these things are resolved, I will definitely accompany you well."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai rubbed her hand and hummed softly in response.

Yun Qingqing smoothed Xiaobai's fur, then left the space and headed towards the Beimo Kingdom's palace.

The Beimo Palace stands tall, and its towering walls are built with huge stones. Under the sunlight, it exudes a cold majesty.

There is a watchtower at regular intervals on the city wall. The guards in the tower patrol back and forth, vigilantly scanning the movements inside and outside the palace.

Yun Qingqing hid herself and entered the palace unhindered. As soon as she stepped into the depths of the palace, she saw lights and decorations everywhere, and a very lively scene. It was obvious that some event was being held today. Just as she was guessing what the event was, she heard the palace servants passing by whispering to each other.

"Today is the emperor's birthday banquet, and many dignitaries have come to the palace. We must be extremely alert and not make any mistakes. If we disturb the dignitaries or ruin the festive atmosphere, we will be punished." An elderly palace servant nervously instructed the young eunuch beside him.

Yun Qingqing snorted inwardly when she heard this. "The Dog Emperor's birthday party?" Then she wanted to go and see the excitement.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw several palace maids hurriedly walking by with exquisite snacks and drinks. Yun Qingqing hurriedly followed them and left. Yun Qingqing followed them to a very large square.

I saw a magnificent platform built in the center of the square, filled with delicacies and various rare treasures, sparkling with charming brilliance under the sunlight.

Below the square, there were tables filled with sumptuous delicacies, the aroma of fine wine, and all kinds of delicacies emitting an enticing luster.

Palace maids and eunuchs were walking around, while the dignitaries of Beimo were sitting at the table. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with flattering smiles on their faces, greeting each other, waiting for the birthday banquet to officially begin.

Yun Qingqing also found an empty seat and sat down. The people around her were unaware of her presence.

At this moment, a majestic horn sounded, and everyone stood up and bowed their heads to welcome it.

The Emperor of Beimo Kingdom walked slowly into the square, surrounded by a group of attendants. He had a rough face, a tall and burly figure, a thick beard, and his eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation.

He was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, and the golden dragon embroidery on the robe came alive under the sunlight. The dignitaries shouted "Long live the dragon" and the sound echoed throughout the square.

Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes and looked at the Emperor of Beimo. The Emperor of Beimo did not look like a good person.

Emperor Yuan sat on the high platform. He glanced majestically at everyone below and cleared his throat. His voice was deep and powerful, penetrating every corner of the room. "My dear ministers, please stand up. Today is my birthday. There is no need to be restrained."

After hearing this, everyone in the audience returned to their seats.

After everyone was seated, Emperor Yuan continued, "Since I ascended the throne, thanks to the blessings of Heaven on everyone's efforts, the Northern Desert has grown stronger, and the people can now live and work in peace and contentment."

After saying this, he paused slightly, with ambition flashing in his eyes, "However, my grand ambitions are more than just this. Now that the Duke of Huguo's Mansion has fallen, the Great Zhou Kingdom will lose its umbrella of protection and will surely be in turmoil. This is a godsend opportunity.

I have decided that after this birthday banquet, I will prepare for the attack on the Great Zhou Kingdom. I will take it down in one fell swoop, expand the territory of my Northern Desert, and make it a great power! "

When the people in the audience heard this, they bowed down and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise, long live our emperor, Beimo will win!" The flattering voices came one after another, and everyone agreed with expanding the territory and strengthening the national strength.

Yun Qingqing listened to Emperor Yuan's bold words and snorted in her heart, "If you want to attack the Great Zhou Kingdom, I will kill you with thunder today."

Just as Emperor Yuan of the Northern Desert Kingdom was speaking passionately and the people in the audience were fawning on him, suddenly, there was a loud "boom" in the clear sky.

Emperor Yuan's words were interrupted by a sudden astronomical phenomenon. He looked up at the sky with a frown, not understanding why thunder would sound in the clear sky.

Everyone looked at the sky in confusion, not understanding why thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky.

At this moment, there was another loud "boom" in the sky, and a thick bolt of lightning, like an angry dragon, struck straight towards Emperor Yuan on the high platform.

Emperor Yuan widened his eyes in horror and tried to dodge but it was too late. The lightning struck him instantly and the powerful electric current instantly ran through his whole body.

His dragon robe was instantly burnt and smoking, and his hair stood on end. He let out a shrill scream and then he was dead.

Everyone was so frightened that they stood there, unable to react for a moment. After a moment, when they came to their senses, they shouted in panic.

"His Majesty!"

"Oh no! Your Majesty has been struck by lightning!"

"Hurry and declare the imperial physician!"

Panicked cries echoed throughout the square. Some attendants trembled as they ran towards Emperor Yuan. Finding him dead, they screamed in panic, "Your Majesty has been struck by lightning!"

The atmosphere in the square froze in an instant, and panic and chaos spread rapidly like a plague.

The dignitaries all looked pale at this moment, and some even collapsed on the ground with fear.

"This...what's going on? Why is there thunder and lightning in the sky out of the blue?" A gorgeously dressed official muttered to himself, his eyes full of fear and confusion.

"Yes, this lightning is meant to strike Your Majesty alone..." Another official was speechless before he could finish his words. It was obvious that he was frightened by this sudden change and didn't know what to say.
