I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Chapter 47: A sudden storm: The crisis of a new enemy

The Beitang envoy fled for his life, feeling as if there were thousands of troops chasing him from behind, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat!

He ran all the way back to the post station, immediately gathered people and prepared to evacuate overnight.

This is not "luring the snake out of its hole", it is clearly "luring the tiger away from the mountain"!

He finally understood that he was the "tiger" that had been transferred away!

At the same time, undercurrents were surging in the capital.

The once bustling streets have become deserted and the doors of the shops that were once bustling with people are now closed.

Prices soared, people complained bitterly, and all kinds of rumors spread like a plague.

"I heard that the Queen offended the mountain god, so the disaster was brought down!" "I think it's the Queen's incompetence and cruelty that has led to the people's miserable lives!" "If you ask me, it would be better if..." These whispers reached the Queen's ears, causing her to frown.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong came to the Queen's bedroom with heavy hearts.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the city is unstable. We must find out the mastermind as soon as possible!" Zhaoyang Ruyue said anxiously.

Wumeng Tianlong added, "According to the Nangong spies, this new opposition force is called 'Black Mountain'. Their leader, General Gongsun, is treacherous and cunning, and his subordinates are numerous experts. We must be careful in dealing with them!"

The Queen's face was solemn, and her fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"Black Mountain..." She pondered for a moment, "It seems someone is trying to take advantage of the situation! Send Nangong's secret agent!"

The Nangong spy soon appeared and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" The Queen: "Tell me about the details of Black Mountain."

Agent Nangong described the situation in Montenegro, mentioning that there were many conflicts among the leaders due to the uneven distribution of interests within Montenegro.

"Your Majesty, I think we can use this to divide and disintegrate them." Agent Nangong suggested.

Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes lit up: "Great! We can spread rumors, exacerbate the conflict between them, and let them kill each other!" Wumeng Tianlong also rubbed his hands excitedly: "I like this! Let me direct a good show!"

The Queen nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile on her lips: "Alright. But remember, proceed with caution."

Elsewhere, in the dark cave, General Gongsun was furious at his men: "Useless! You're all useless! You can't even handle such a small matter!" Advisor Ximen smiled sinisterly and said, "General, calm down. We have a backup plan..."

The queen stood alone by the window, looking at the twinkling lights in the city, her heart in turmoil.

At this time, Zhaoyang Ruyue walked in quietly, "Your Majesty..." She hesitated to speak.

The Queen turned around, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "Ruyue, just say whatever you want to say."

Zhaoyang Ruyue wanted to say something but stopped herself, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, I...I am worried about you." Upon hearing this, the Queen turned and looked at her, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

She walked up to Zhaoyang Ruyue, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her like a sister, "Silly girl, I know what you're worried about. But you have to believe that we can overcome this. Back then, I tore apart mammoths with my bare hands and kicked saber-toothed tigers with my feet. What's a mere 'Black Mountain' to you? I'll take you to debut as the center!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue was stunned by the Queen's sudden "online archaeology", and then burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, where did you learn all this?" The Queen smiled mysteriously. "A secret! I am a queen at the forefront of our times! Do you understand?" Zhaoyang Ruyue felt the Queen's trust and warmth, and her heart was filled with strength. She nodded solemnly, "I understand! I will do my utmost to assist Your Majesty!"

At the same time, Montenegro's lair.

"Waste! All of you waste!" General Gongsun threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere.

"The Empress must have noticed our plan!" Advisor Ximen's eyes rolled, and he said with a sinister smile, "Don't panic, General. We have a 'backup plan.' Isn't Spy Nangong the Empress's eyes and ears? If we eliminate him, the Empress will be 'blind'!" General Gongsun's eyes lit up: "Great idea! Send someone immediately!"

Night falls and the cold wind howls.

While on a mission, Agent Nangong realized that he was being followed.

He looked around vigilantly, only to see several dark shadows emerging from the darkness and surrounding him.

"Who are you?" Agent Nangong shouted sternly.

The killers rushed towards him without saying a word, brandishing the sharp blades in their hands.

Agent Nangong was agile and engaged in a fierce fight with the killers.

He fought and retreated, trying to break through, but the killers chased him relentlessly, and every move was deadly.

He fought and retreated, and with his extraordinary skills, he dodged several fatal attacks, but he was outnumbered and still suffered several wounds.

Blood flowed down his arm, and Agent Nangong felt his strength gradually failing. He knew that he was in a desperate situation.

Just when the killer was about to succeed, a voice rang out in the night sky... "Stop!" In a flash, the Wumeng Tianlong descended from the sky like a god descending from heaven!

With a handsome roundhouse kick, the killer closest to Agent Nangong was kicked away.

"Good guy, you dare to touch the Queen's people. You must be tired of living, right?" Wumeng Tianlong smiled evilly, his tone full of disdain.

The killers obviously didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear out of nowhere, and were stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Wumeng Tianlong rushed into the crowd, using his fists and feet, each move was fatal.

Although these killers are numerous and powerful, their martial arts skills are obviously inferior to Wumeng Tianlong.

He was seen moving like a ghost among the group of killers, and from time to time he would do a "triple somersault followed by a backflip", which stunned the onlookers hiding in the dark.

"666, this guy is really something!" Someone whispered.

The killers gradually realized that they had hit a wall and began to use hidden weapons to launch sneak attacks.

Darts, poison needles, and all kinds of hidden weapons shot towards Wumeng Tianlong like raindrops.

"A mere trifle!" Wumeng Tianlong sneered, his movements became even more bizarre and unpredictable, and he dodged all the hidden weapons!

The onlookers were all worried for him. If he had dodged a little slower, he would have died here.

After a fierce battle, some of the killers died and some escaped.

Wumeng Tianlong walked up to the dying killer leader, squatted down, and patted his face: "Tell me, who sent you here?" The killer leader spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of fear, and he said the four words "Gongsun...General..." intermittently, and then died.

Wumeng Tianlong found a secret letter from the killer, which recorded General Gongsun's plan in detail, including the list of core members, the next action plan, and even their secret contact code.

After returning to the palace, Wumeng Tianlong presented the information to the Queen.

After reading it, the Queen's lips curled up slightly. "General Gongsun... is quite interesting. Since he wants to play, I will play with him." She picked up a brush and drew a circle on a map. "Pass the order down. The army will march tomorrow. The target is Black Mountain!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the empress's confident look, her heart filled with admiration: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Wumeng Tianlong muttered quietly to the side, "Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise the Nangong spy would be dead. Now, I have accomplished a great feat, and a promotion and a raise are just around the corner!"

However, in the Black Mountain lair, Ximen Advisor sat upright, holding a broken jade pendant in his hand...

The jade pendant in Ximen Moushi's hand was exactly the personal token of the assassin leader.

The broken jade pendant means the mission has failed.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his tone solemn: "It seems that we underestimated the Queen's strength."

Upon hearing this, General Gongsun's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Underestimate? Humph! Just good luck! A bunch of rabble dare to oppose me, General Gongsun! Pass the order down, speed up the plan! Within three days, I will destroy the Imperial Palace and make the Empress beg for mercy!"

The Eastern warrior rubbed his hands together and shouted excitedly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" He couldn't wait to have a big fight.

"General, please be patient," Strategist Ximen waved his feather fan. "Now that our plan has been leaked, we must adjust our strategy. The Empress will surely strengthen her defenses once she receives the intelligence. A forceful attack might not be worth the effort."

General Gongsun was a little impatient: "Then what do you say we should do? Are we just going to watch her live happily ever after?"

Simon Strategist smiled mysteriously, "Of course not. We can... surround the point and attack the reinforcements." He tapped a few times on the map. "Black Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Queen will definitely send troops. Then, we only need to set up an ambush along the way..."

At the same time, the Queen's army marched towards Montenegro.

Zhaoyang Ruyue rides a tall horse, looking heroic.

Wumeng Tianlong chattered beside her: "Ruyue, I've made such a great contribution this time. Will the Queen reward me with a fine horse? Preferably one that can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night..."

Zhaoyang Ruyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you thinking about? I think you dream quickly."

Wumeng Tianlong chuckled and said, "You still have to have dreams. What if they come true?"

The army reached a canyon with towering mountains on both sides and the terrain was steep.

Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if something was wrong.

She pulled the reins in and looked around warily.

"What's wrong?" asked Wumeng Tianlong.

Zhaoyang Ruyue shook her head: "I don't know, it's just a feeling..."

Suddenly, a horn pierced the sky, and countless soldiers swarmed down from the top of the mountain, shouting and killing, shaking the earth!

"Oh no! There's an ambush!" Zhaoyang Ruyue's face changed drastically.

Wumeng Tianlong was also dumbfounded: "What the hell! What...what's going on?"

Standing on the mountaintop, Strategist Ximen looked at the Queen's army trapped in the encirclement, a sinister smile curled his lips: "Your Majesty, you have lost this game."

General Gongsun drew his sword, pointed it at the besieged army, and shouted with a wild laugh, "Kill! Leave no one alive!"

Nangong Spy suddenly appeared beside the Queen and whispered solemnly, "Your Majesty, the situation has changed..."
