Chapter 141 Declaration of War and Promise

Consort Mei stood opposite Zheng Qian, her beautiful yet icy face now filled with an expression that said, "You're finished."

Consort Mei received a message from Wu Yuxiao, informing her that the Xuanhu Army had arrived at the south gate of Yan City at this time, so she blocked Zheng Qian there.

She spoke slowly, her voice piercing Zheng Qian's heart like an ice pick: "Zheng Qian, do you think you can threaten me with 50,000 Xuanhu soldiers? Do you think you can get away with what you did?"

Zheng Qian's heart skipped a beat; this woman was here to cause trouble.

No, I can't lose face. She can't beat me right now, so why should I be afraid?

If all else fails, we can overthrow her and take her with us on our journey to the ends of the earth. One more of her won't make a difference, and one less of her won't matter either.

With an equally cold expression, Zheng Qian said loudly, "Consort Mei, don't think that just because you're pretty you can do whatever you want. It's none of your business what I do. Besides, you were more proactive than me that night. It's not like I failed to satisfy you. How dare you question me?"

Her face flushed red. Consort Mei never expected Zheng Qian to praise her and shamelessly say that he had satisfied her.

For a period that night, Zheng Qian was indeed passively accepting the situation, but he quickly turned the tables and became very courageous.

Ugh, what am I thinking?

Consort Mei's face turned cold. "How dare you disobey my orders? Are you trying to force me to take action?"

With a disdainful smile, Zheng Qian glanced at Consort Mei with a flippant look. "If I want to attack Yan City, 50,000 Xuanhu troops are enough. Why would I need to wait for the Fenghuo Army? You're giving orders without knowing anything."

A surge of spiritual energy erupted, and a murderous intent burst forth from Consort Mei's eyes. Before anyone knew it, she had grasped a pitch-black dagger in her hand.

"You filthy woman, do you believe I'll spank you? Let me tell you, you're no match for me now."

After Zheng Qian finished speaking, an incomparably sharp aura erupted, and the killing intent enveloped Consort Mei as if it were a tangible substance. If she dared to make a move, he would not hesitate to strike back.

Consort Mei's beautiful face was filled with murderous intent, but her heart was like a turbulent sea.

Wu Yuxiao sent a message saying that Zheng Qian had broken through to the Spirit Fusion Realm and had even undergone nine tribulations. She thought that Zheng Qian was just a weakling in the early stage of the Spirit Fusion Realm, and even if he underwent tribulations, he would at most be comparable to her in the middle stage of the Spirit Fusion Realm.

Unexpectedly, she felt a sense of dread under Zheng Qian's murderous intent, and had an intuition that she couldn't defeat him.

Can undergoing tribulation really increase one's strength by that much?

That heartless man, how enviable!

Unbeknownst to her, Consort Mei's opinion of Zheng Qian had changed. She suppressed her murderous intent and said with a hint of grievance.

"You did that kind of thing, are you not going to take responsibility?"

Zheng Qian's eyelids twitched violently. He also suppressed his murderous intent and asked weakly, "How do you want me to take responsibility?"

Consort Mei stared straight at Zheng Qian, her voice icy, "I want you to conquer Yan City and support Lü Jin to become emperor."

Secretly relieved, Zheng Qian thought she wanted him to marry her. Supporting Lü Jin wasn't an unreasonable request. "No problem. I think Lü Jin is quite pleasing to the eye. Let him be the emperor."

Now it was Consort Mei's turn to have her eyelids twitching wildly. Zheng Qian was really too arrogant. Did he think Lü Jun was made of mud? He had countless experts under his command, and even had several experts at the Fusion Spirit Realm hidden away. His combat strength was not to be underestimated.

However, considering that Zheng Qian had single-handedly slaughtered 20,000 Red Turban soldiers, Consort Mei felt that Zheng Qian was capable; at least no one in Wuyan Kingdom could do that.

In the present day, Zheng Qian is second to none in terms of combat power in Wuyan Kingdom.

She smiled smugly to herself, but her face remained cold. For Lü Jin's throne, Consort Mei made another demand.

"After conquering Yan City, abandon all your ambitions, live a quiet and law-abiding life, give them money and beautiful women as they please, and do not get involved in the royal family's disputes."

Zheng Qian felt completely relieved. You want me to take responsibility? Is this how you want me to take responsibility?

Without hesitation, he replied, "Don't worry, I don't want anything. I just want to offer a few policy suggestions. You can implement them according to my suggestions. I don't want money, power, or beautiful women."

Consort Mei couldn't understand Zheng Qian. What else would a man want if he didn't want money, power, and beautiful women?

Her face flushed red. Could it be that he wants me?

She needs to think this over carefully. After becoming Empress Dowager, it seems like it wouldn't be bad to establish a group of male favorites and have Zheng Qian as the leader.

After all, he's so handsome and so fierce.

Consort Mei spent her entire life pursuing power; her mind was always focused on money and power. Naturally, she couldn't imagine that Zheng Qian only wanted to travel the world with a sword.

To be on the safe side, Consort Mei still asked, "What policy suggestions do you want to make? I won't agree to anything that goes against common sense."

Before even attacking Yan City, Consort Mei was already negotiating with Zheng Qian. In their eyes, Yan City seemed to have already been conquered and they were starting to divide the spoils.

"I have two opinions. First, everyone must be equal, and the people must not be divided into different classes. Second, the land in the country must be redistributed, the hegemony of bureaucratic landlords must be overthrown, and every farmer must have land to cultivate to ensure that they all have food to eat."

Everyone is equal?

Consort Mei didn't understand why Zheng Qian had the idea of ​​equality for all, but after thinking about it, she realized that Zheng Qian's suggestion wasn't unreasonable, so she agreed.

"Okay, I promise you."

"It's a deal. I'm going to attack Yan City now. Do as you please." Zheng Qian finished speaking, mounted his warhorse, and rode out of the woods.

"Zheng Qian, remember this, you owe me a lot."

The voice of Consort Mei rang out behind him. Zheng Qian waved his hand and disappeared from her sight without turning back.

Owe? That's ridiculous. We're all adults, who owes whom?

Amidst the anticipation of the 50,000 Xuanhu Army soldiers and the watchful eyes of the city's defenders, Zheng Qian finally arrived late on his warhorse.

Da da da……

The sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground was not loud, but it struck the hearts of the soldiers defending the city like a death knell.

War is truly on its way.

When Zheng Qian was eighty meters away from the city wall, he stopped. He wanted to draw his sword and utter some harsh words, but then he realized he had forgotten to bring it.

The heavy sword guarding his heart shattered, and the Dragon Scale Void-Piercing Sword was too heavy. Not to mention he couldn't lift it with one hand, even if he could, his warhorse couldn't carry it.

Should I dismount and point my sword at Iwaki Castle? No, that won't do; dismounting would be too beneath me.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Qian raised his right hand towards the city gate, then extended his middle finger, pointing it at the majestic city wall. His voice was loud and firm, carrying through the wall and reaching every corner of the city.

"Soldiers of Wuyan Kingdom, listen up!" Zheng Qian's shout was like thunder, shaking everyone's hearts. "I, Zheng Qian, have led 50,000 Xuanhu soldiers today not to kill, but for peace in the world and tranquility for the people!"

His words revealed a profound sense of sorrow and helplessness, as if he were telling of the cruelty and ruthlessness of war. Yet, his gaze burned like a torch, radiating an indomitable fighting spirit.

"Lu Jun murdered his father and emperor, was licentious and tyrannical, and preyed on the people. That kind of fool is not fit to be emperor. I, Zheng Qian, have led my troops here today to rid the world of evil and bring peace to the people!" His voice echoed in the sky above Yan City, like a sharp sword pointing directly at the corruption and darkness of the Wu Yan royal family.

The city's garrison was stunned into silence by the sudden shout; they had never imagined that Zheng Qian would declare war in this way.

Meanwhile, the Xuanhu Army outside the city, inspired by this domineering declaration, was greatly encouraged and seemed to have already seen the dawn of victory.

“Listen up, people in the city! I, Zheng Qian, will overthrow the bureaucratic landlord tyranny and establish a country where everyone is equal, the poor have land to cultivate, food to eat, and clothes to wear. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will die.”

Zheng Qian's call was not only a declaration of war against Wuyan Kingdom, but also a promise to all people under heaven.

He wanted to use his sword to cut away all injustice and suffering for the people and restore a peaceful and tranquil homeland for them.
