We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Empress Fujiwara was mixed in with the entourage, wearing an inconspicuous maid's attire, but her seductive temperament could not be concealed.

Seeing the huge building complex in front of her, her eyes widened and she couldn't help but whisper to the old Fujiwara family official who was leading the way:

"When did Fukuoka build such a magnificent city? Kaifu Munemasa has been operating here for years, and it has such defenses. How did the Fengtian Army break through it?"

The Fengtian Army had just landed when they easily captured the city.

Are the people under Kaibu Munemasa good-for-nothings?

The old minister's face had already turned pale. He looked at the huge monster in front of him, smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly:

"Half a month ago, there was only that lonely mountain castle here. As for these things in front of us..."

He swallowed hard and pointed to the endless fortress:

"If I'm not mistaken, this all happened within just ten days after the Fengtian Army landed."

"This kind of city-building ability is unheard of and unseen!"

"What? More than ten days?!"

Empress Fujiwara felt a chill rushing to her head, and her delicate body shook slightly.

Building a magnificent city from scratch, how could this be achieved by ordinary people?

Could it be that Prince Feng Li Che is a god who has descended to earth?

Besides being shocked, an indescribable ecstasy surged in my heart.

The stronger the Fengtian Army is, the faster Haibu Zongzhen will be defeated, and the greater her chance of regaining power!

She wished that Li Che was powerful enough to crush Kaibu Munemasa at will, so that the Fengtian Army could destroy all forces in the country that resisted the emperor. She only needed to please this vassal king and she could become the almighty queen mother again.

The crowd continued to move forward, passed through layers of strict inspections, and entered the camp.

Inside the camp, tall and stern-looking Fengtian Army soldiers could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.

The soldiers wore long swords on their waists and held whips in their hands, driving teams of Japanese people in prison uniforms to work non-stop.

As for why he is Japanese, just look at his height and that wretched temperament.

Empress Dowager Fujiwara looked intently at the backs of the prisoners and saw the word "prisoner" written in a black circle on their uniforms.

These Japanese surrendered soldiers were like ants, performing the heaviest labor, carrying huge rocks, digging trenches, dragging huge trees...

If they were slow or lazy for a moment, the whips in the hands of the Fengtian Army supervisors would whistle down and mercilessly hit the backs of the surrendered soldiers, leaving bloody marks.

If you dare to be lazy, you will be whipped!

If you dare to complain, you will be whipped!

Are you starting to feel tired now?

This is just the beginning, just a warm-up for growing potatoes in Siberia.

An accompanying minister was so angry that his eyes were about to burst. He could not help but whispered angrily:

"How can this be! To treat our Yamato people like this, Daqing has no manners at all!"

The other Japanese ministers also had expressions of grief and anger on their faces, their fists clenched, and their bodies trembling slightly with anger.

However, Empress Fujiwara seemed oblivious to this.

Those beautiful eyes swept over the Japanese who were struggling and wailing under the whip with interest. Instead of being angry for her own people, a smile of appreciation appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In her opinion, the lower-class untouchables are tools and consumables of the rulers, and are born to be driven and enslaved.

The Fengtian Army's actions seemed natural to her, and even gave her a sense of identity that "great minds think alike."

This is the courage that a true ruler should have!

This made her even more convinced that the powerful King Feng was the same kind of person as herself.

Compared with the sufferings endured by her people, Empress Fujiwara's attention lingered more on the majestic and powerful Fengtian Army soldiers.

Those tall figures and resolute faces all exude powerful masculine charm and the aura of a conqueror.

She was nearly thirty years old, and although she was at the pinnacle of power, the only men she had ever come into contact with were the elderly Emperor Baihe and the short-lived and cowardly late emperor.

Those two men, one was very old, the other was cowardly and incompetent. How could they have had even a fraction of the elegance of these Fengtian Army warriors in front of them?

Empress Fujiwara felt her heart fluttering, and a long-lost warmth surged in her body.

She couldn't help but start to imagine, wondering what kind of heroic and majestic figure the Feng Wang Li Che, who could command such a powerful army, must be?

Just as she was distracted, the delegation had arrived at the center of the camp.

The castle of the Japanese vassal was temporarily converted into Li Che's palace.

In front of the palace gate, a young general in soft armor stood with his sword in hand.

This man had a handsome face, but there was a cold air between his brows that kept strangers away. He glanced at the arriving Japanese delegation with indifference, as if he was looking at a pile of unsightly garbage.

Queen Fujiwara's eyes lit up, and her heart began to beat faster.

This man is so young, handsome, and has an extraordinary bearing. Could it be... that he is Prince Feng Li Che?

She was secretly delighted that His Royal Highness the Prince Feng was indeed a good-looking man and did not disappoint her.

However, the man simply glanced at them with a cold and disgusted look, and then spoke as if shooing away a fly:

"Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time. Who is the mastermind? Come in with me quickly. The rest of you, please wait outside!"

This person is naturally not Li Che, but Qiu Bai.

Although Qiu Bai's bearing is not as great as Li Che's, he is also from a noble family and has been trained by Li Che's side for so many years. He can definitely be regarded as the most handsome man in Japan.

Empress Dowager Fujiwara was not in the mood to think about these things at the moment. After hearing Qiu Bai's words, her face changed instantly.

She mixed in with the delegation just to meet Li Che in person and use her power.

If we are blocked outside, wouldn’t the purpose of this trip be in vain?

She hurriedly signaled with her eyes to the old minister beside her. He was from the Fujiwara family, loyal but of low status.

The old minister's forehead was covered with sweat. He stepped forward and bowed deeply to Qiu Bai.

"General, please calm down."

"We are all here under the secret orders of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother to come before His Royal Highness the Prince of Feng to discuss important matters."

"We... our delegation is united in purpose. We beg the General to grant us permission to enter the palace to meet His Highness..."

The old minister's voice trembled and he felt extremely uneasy.

Their so-called delegation was hastily put together by Empress Dowager Fujiwara, had no official status, and lacked confidence.

As for this excuse, it is extremely bad. If King Feng gets angry, it would be no exaggeration to kill them all.

Sure enough, Qiu Bai frowned and there was anger on his face.

He knew very well that his prince hated the Japanese, so why would he have the time to bother with them?

As he thought about it, he had already put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and was about to scold and drive him away.

At this moment, Li Che's voice came from the palace:

"Qiubai, it's okay."

"Let them all come in."

Hearing this, Qiu Bai's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise that was hard to conceal.

Your Highness... why are you so tolerant towards these Japanese pirates today?

Qiu Bai suddenly felt doubtful, but the military order was as firm as a mountain.

He immediately collected his thoughts, stepped aside to make way, and said in a cold voice:

"His Highness has ordered that you all go in!"
