I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Stands had been built around the parade grounds, and many dignitaries, high-ranking officials, and second-generation leaders in the capital were sitting around to watch the ceremony.

They were talking and laughing, as if what was about to happen was just a visual feast of a group of wild beasts fighting each other, not their own people being forced to kill each other.

In the eyes of the powerful, civilians and slaves are not considered human beings.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Following a loud shout, a dragon chariot slowly approached.

It seemed that everyone on the stage knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

"Everyone is safe."

A majestic female voice came from the dragon chariot. A moment later, a woman in a bright red dragon robe, supported by Gongsun Wan'er, walked down the chariot and came to the highest point of the stands.

The Queen of Dayan was only twenty years old, and her appearance was as beautiful as a perfect work of art. She wore a dragon crown, a dragon robe, and a dot of cinnabar on her eyebrows. She was extremely beautiful.

The empress sat on the dragon throne, looking down coldly with a slightly displeased expression.

Gongsun Wan'er bent down and asked,

"Your Majesty, is there something on your mind?"

The empress sighed and said slowly,

"Those who died were all our people from Dayan."

"But they are just commoners. The powerful don't care about this."

Gongsun Wan'er said slowly.

"Yes, how could they take the lives of ordinary people seriously? If it weren't for those powerful ministers putting pressure on me, saying that I must give birth to an heir to establish the foundation of the country, and that I must follow the old system established by my mother, the queen, and select strong and outstanding men through fighting.

I have long since abolished this bloody and brutal system."

Hearing the Empress' words, Gongsun Wan'er thought for a moment and said ambiguously,

"The ministers are also doing this for the good of the country. After all, the royal heir is the foundation of the country."

At this time, a minister came over, clasped his hands and bowed,

"Your Majesty, I, Anrong, greet you. May I ask, may the competition begin?"

"let's start."

The empress said majestically.

"According to the order."

An Rong turned around and shouted loudly to the bottom,

"By order of His Majesty, the competition has begun. All men are requested to leave their tents and assemble in the center of the training grounds."

Hearing this, the eyes of the dignitaries lit up.

There were fifty tents around the parade ground, with twenty people in each tent.

They all placed bets on which tent would have the fewest people coming out.

Gongsun Wan'er's eyes were fixed on the field, wanting to see if the lecher was dead.

Humph, that skinny pretty boy will probably die before he even makes it to the evening.

Many people came out of the tents one after another.

Gongsun Wan'er, with her sharp eyes, scanned the entire place but couldn't find the lecher.

However, soon someone with sharp eyes shouted,

"Why is no one coming out of the tent in the second row to the east? Are they all dead?"

The royal guards who were responsible for maintaining order in the parade grounds walked to the front of the tent.

Before he could shout, the man inside came out.

When Gongsun Wan'er saw that face, she gritted her teeth.

Damn it, this scoundrel is not dead.

But it doesn’t matter, he will still die during the competition.

When the examiner An Rong saw that only one person came out of the tent, he frowned and asked,

"Where are the people behind Tent 32?"

The Royal Guards at the door immediately shouted back,

"Your Excellency, only one person survived in this tent!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dignitaries in the surrounding stands all gasped.

Twenty people, only one survived?

So many people died, but the only one who survived was this young man with thin arms and legs?

What kind of ruthless person is this?

Gongsun Wan'er was also greatly shocked, her eyes fixed on Shen Changgong who was walking towards the center of the training ground.

It was difficult for her to accept this reality, but the blood on the other person's body undoubtedly showed that this was all true.

Humph, there must have been a civil strife in his tent, and he escaped by hiding in a corner.

"You know him?"

The voice of the empress suddenly came from beside him.

"Ah? Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

"When he came out just now, I heard his breathing become rapid and the sound of gnashing teeth. It's obvious that you don't want to see him survive. Do you have a grudge against him?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Wan'er hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty is very observant. This person was arranged by Wan'er. He is...very powerful."

"You want to take this opportunity to kill him? To settle a personal grudge?"

"Wan'er doesn't dare."

"Humph."

The empress snorted coldly, frightening Gongsun Wan'er so much that she almost fell to her knees.

An Rong shouted to the field,

"Everyone, divide into two lines and go to the front to draw lots to determine your opponents!"

There were two tables in front of everyone, each with a box on it.

There are 500 tickets in each box.

Shen Changgong roughly counted and found that only more than 800 people survived.

Soon it was his turn. He drew a lot from the queue and saw "134" written on the wooden sign.

Half an hour later, all the draws were completed.

The training ground is divided into twenty areas, which can accommodate twenty competitions at the same time.

The competition is about killing people, and the speed varies. Whichever group decides the winner first, the survivors will be eliminated and replaced by the next group.

The person at the front of the line was pulled onto the parade ground by the fully armed royal guards.

A thin young man, crying for his parents, was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, unable to even hold the knife in his hand. His opponent was a ferocious and strong man.

The strong man obviously had never killed anyone before and was a little panicked at this time.

Those who first went up there felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hurry up and hit me, I haven't eaten yet!"

"If you don't want to die, do it now! You're just a bunch of idiots, what a bore."

"Damn it! Do you know how much money I bet? Hit me now! The damn sun is killing me!"

The powerful people around wanted to see blood splattering, wanted to see them hacking each other with knives, not to watch them sit there in a daze.

The powerful people shouted loudly, urging them to fight quickly.

"Grandpa, what are those people doing down there?"

A little boy asked the Marquis grandfather beside him.

"My child, you must remember that you are a human being. How can common people be considered human beings? You are different from them. They are the abyss that you will never reach in your lifetime even if you squander your wealth.

Chief examiner An Rong shouted loudly,

"If anyone doesn't take action within a cup of tea, both of them will be killed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the twenty people on the field panicked.

The sturdy man held the knife, roared, and bravely chopped at the thin young man opposite him.

The thin young man didn't even dare to resist. He was so scared that he wet his pants and let the knife chop into his crown.

The young man died just like that. The powerful people were obviously not satisfied with the result. They cursed and said it was bad luck and they were not satisfied.

Looking at the faces of the powerful people around him, Shen Changgong felt disgusted and angry from the bottom of his heart.

He was not angry at these people for not taking the lives of civilians seriously. After all, he was also a killer who had killed countless people and was not a good person.

He could only hate the humiliation of being treated like a monkey.

The fighting finally started on the field, with people dying and blood spurting out continuously.

The beasts were fighting and the animals were laughing.

Listening to the shrill laughter of the powerful people around him, Shen Changgong suddenly had an idea.

I really want to massacre the city of Yandu and kill all these powerful people!

The streets are full of the bones of nobles, and the gates are full of the heads of the powerful.

If he can achieve lofty ambitions one day, he will dare to laugh at Huang Chao for being a coward.
