Chapter 558 'Do you really think that Your Majesty doesn't know what you want to do?'

"Princess Altria, do you really think that the Lord doesn't know what you want to do?"

As the blonde girl roared, a young general with a pretty face but not handsome and a slender figure appeared in the Qin army that surrounded her. He was Han Xin, who replaced the deceased Li Mu and became the governor of Yanmen County of the Empire. Han Xin, who appeared, looked at the blonde girl Altria and said lightly.

Artoria!
The beloved daughter of the King of the Great Yuezhi, she was famous for her beauty and was known as the most beautiful woman in the grassland. Along with her beauty, Altria was also famous for her bravery and skill in fighting. Originally, for the grassland wolf tribe, women were just a resource. Therefore, it was common for the mother to marry the sister-in-law. As long as he took a fancy to a woman, he could snatch her away.

However, Artoria had been fighting with the army since she was thirteen years old, and she once set a record of destroying eight tribes that rebelled against the King of the Great Yuezhi within one month.

Maodun, the Chanyu of Xiongnu, and the King of Donghu both asked the King of Dayuezhi for marriage, hoping that Altria would be their wife. However, the King of Dayuezhi loved his daughter dearly, and although he did not dare to offend Xiongnu and Donghu, he still expressed his intention to keep his daughter by his side for a few more years.

According to the intelligence collected by the Black Ice Platform, although Artoria and the Loulan High Priestess were very different in age, they hit it off at first sight and treated each other like sisters. Facing the Qin army that could attack at any time, the High Priestess asked for help from the Great Yuezhi. The Great Yuezhi King was persuaded by Artoria to prepare for war. If the Qin army had the upper hand, she would serve as a wing of the Qin army; if the war was at a stalemate, or the Qin army was old and tired, she would beat the fallen dog.

Unexpectedly, while the troops were still being assembled, the Qin army appeared like a disaster from the sky.

Boom!
After learning that the Qin army knew about the agreement between Dayuezhi and Loulan, and the reason for the disaster, the Dayuezhi princess, Altria, who was riding a snow-white warhorse without even a single stray hair of other colors, was struck by lightning. Even though her pretty face was stained with blood, it turned pale in an instant, as miserable as a female ghost.

The heart, covered by two tall and straight snow-capped peaks, beats violently in the chest due to the violent fluctuations of emotions.

"what!"

When she learned that the reason for the Qin army's attack was because she was planning to support Loulan, the princess of the Great Yuezhi, Altria, whose name means moonlight in the Great Yuezhi language, was both sad and angry. She was sad because her people were massacred by the Qin army, and even if they could survive this battle, the Great Yuezhi would be seriously injured; she was angry, half of it towards the executioners who massacred her people - the Qin people, and the other half towards herself.

Chaotic thoughts were like a tangled mess, tightly entangled in Altria's heart, causing this heroic Princess of the Great Yuezhi unprecedented pain. Endless pain turned into a roar, roaring out from her mouth. With the roar, Altria jumped from the horse's back, waving the war spear in her hand, and the spear flowers bloomed, like a rain of pear blossoms, and rushed towards Han Xin.

The ten-foot distance between Altria and Han Xin was easily overcome, and the deadly spear was determined to take Han Xin's life.

Facing Altria's thunderous attack, Han Xin reacted very quickly, pulling out the Qianjiao Sword from his waist. The sharp sword was unsheathed, and the air played a clear sword sound. Along with the sword sound, the rustling spear flowers danced by Altria disappeared completely, leaving no trace.

Click!

puff!

A crisp sound and a muffled sound rang out almost at random. The crisp sound was when Han Xin's Qianjiao sword fell on the spear of Altria and cut it off; the muffled sound was when the Qianjiao sword turned its blade after cutting off the spear and mercilessly pierced Altria's heart, passing through her heart.

In a flash, the Princess of Dayuezhi, who was known as the most beautiful woman on the grassland, was dead. Her body was suspended in the sky. Her beautiful eyes, as beautiful as gemstones, were unwilling at first, and then turned into emptiness. When Han Xin pulled out the Qianjiao Sword, the beautiful body fell to the ground, and the horses' hooves trampled it, turning it into meat paste.

………………Chu area, Yunmeng Lake.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"My child, my child!"

"Sooner or later, I will chop off the heads of Ying Zheng and his son to pay tribute to my son's spirit in heaven!"

……

Children under ten years old were brought here by themselves. These children, with innocent eyes and childish faces, had no clear understanding of the world, but had to leave their hometown and be brought to the Yunmeng Lake, which was densely covered with water and rarely visited by people. Moreover, they would never have the chance to leave this place alive.

Among them were children of the common people who had received favors from the Xiang clan, children of the Chu clan, and children of private soldiers who still followed the Xiang clan and had long been inseparable from the Xiang clan. A total of 9981 pairs of boys and girls, all under ten years old.

Although their parents sent them here voluntarily, who could really bear to send their own children to die? Therefore, many parents came with their children. More than a hundred children, not knowing what they were about to encounter, gathered together and played with each other. Their parents were placed on a nearby island. Looking at their children's innocent appearance and hearing their laughter from the heart, these parents were heartbroken when they thought about what their children were about to face.

They raised their hands to wipe away their tears, huddled together, and their wails expressed endless despair.

"Sister, is this the only way?"

The youngest daughter of Lord Changping, due to poor health, was given to the leader of the Thunder Leopard Corps: Ying Bu to raise since she was a child. Mi Xin and her sister, the eldest daughter of Lord Changping, almost made a marriage contract with Tian Xuan. The noble and elegant Mi Lian with long brown hair stood on the central island. Hearing the children's laughter and the parents' grief and wailing, Mi Lian's pretty face was filled with endless pain, and she turned her head to her sister beside her.

Mi Lian held her sister's hand and could sense the pain in her sister's voice. Mi Lian lowered her head and looked at Mi Xin, saying softly, "Sister, this is the only chance. For the sake of restoring our country and taking revenge, this decision is cruel, but we have no choice."

"Yes!"

Behind the sisters Mi Lian and Mi Xin, three men in full armor followed closely. The first one was handsome and elegant, looking like a nobleman. He was the leader of the extinct Chu Shadow Tiger Corps, and the flower-like Shadow Tiger who enjoyed the reputation of "a promise worth a thousand gold" in the martial arts world: Ji Bu. Ji Bu's eyes moved, and when he cast his gaze on Mi Lian, it was full of undisguised admiration; the second one was described as unruly and unrestrained, holding a pair of Qi as weapons, on which the words "kill" and "destroy" were engraved respectively. He was the leader of the extinct Chu Thunder Leopard Corps, and Mi Xin's guardian - Ying Bu; the third one was a heroic and agile young man, holding a long spear made of steel, the leader of the Tenglong Corps - Long Qie.

Mi Lian's words were recognized by Ying Bu.

"Senior Nan Gong once said that only the Heaven-defying Method can change the fate of our Chu State. Otherwise, our desire to restore our country and seek revenge is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
