C71 Zhao Qingling pleaded (1/2)
A few months ago, Zhao Qingling's position was comparable to Guo Nan's, not the least bit inferior. A few months later, the Zhao Song Imperial Capital had been taken over, and Zhao Qingling's glory was no longer there.
She thought about how she swore to not kill Guo Nan, and felt bitter in her heart. Things had changed, and those words had become a joke.
In the news, it was written that the one hundred and fifty Guo Family soldiers were heading south, occupying all of the Qingming Kingdom.
At this time, in the Zhao Song, there was a large group of Sea Clan people looting the area, and the Bianjing City was being occupied by the Sea Clan, looting every house. The Zhao Family Imperial Palace was razed to the ground by the Sea race army. The imperial capital was taken, the imperial palace destroyed, all for the sake of destroying an entire country.
”Uncle, you guys stay hidden here. I'm going out for a while.”
Zhao Qingling wore dirty clothes and her face was smeared with black mud. She pretended to be a destitute refugee and left Bianjing City.
Guo Nan ordered his army of five hundred thousand to be stationed in the Qingming Kingdom as he led his one million army and invaded Zhao Song's territory.
When Sea Clan Soldiers within Zhao Song saw the flag of the Guo Family's army, they tacitly gave way. The news of the Holy Maiden being under house arrest in the Fenyang City had already spread to the ears of the Sea race army along the way. They had enough things, and did not want to become enemies with the Guo Family's army.
As long as they passed through South Tomb City, they would be able to enter the center of Zhao Song. They would then head north all the way to Bianjing City.
Nanling City was originally the second largest city in the Zhao Song, but now, it was riddled with ruins, the walls had collapsed, and the entire city was covered in flames.
Guo Nan stood on top of the carriage and looked at the dilapidated Southern Hill City, sighing, ”The Sea Clan is the greatest enemy of the human race. If there is a chance, we must control the sea areas around the human race continent and prevent them from landing. Every time they come, they get killed. ”
Dugu Hong nodded with a heavy expression. All along the way, he had been in a miserable and tragic state. He had lived like a prince in the Misty Rain Pavilion, but who would have thought that the war would be so cruel and tragic.
Pan Feng did not follow him. He was worried about the Fenyang City and asked Pan Feng to stay behind to take care of the people from Changyang City.
”Let's enter the city, we can leave behind a hundred thousand troops. We are not fighting a war, we are relying on the Sea Clan's Saintess to smoothly take over our territory from the Sea race army, we barely need a single soldier.” Guo Nan revealed a wry smile, and gently shook his head.
They had thought that the landing of the Sea Clan would be a great opportunity for the Guo Family, but they never thought that it would go so smoothly. Inside the Qingming Kingdom, there was no resistance at all, and because of the arrival of the Guo Family's army, the people of Qingming Kingdom had to thank the Guo Family Army for running away. Zhao Song was more or less the same, the army of the Guo Family had already become like saviors.
The large army of the Guo Family walked towards the South Tomb City in an orderly and awe-inspiring pace.
A woman with torn clothes appeared at the entrance of the Southern Hill City.
”Guo Nan, I am Zhao Qingling. I want to see you! Guo Nan! Guo Nan! Come out, I want to see you! ”
The Guo Family's soldiers did not think much of his hysterical shouting. A dozen soldiers walked up with a look of ridicule, brandishing their pikes, pushing the woman to the side of the road to prevent her from blocking the way.
Guo Nan's carriage drove past and the lady started shouting again, ”Guo Nan, it's me, Zhao Qingling. I have something to tell you!”
Guo Nan who was standing on top of the horse carriage saw the lady, he frowned slightly and waved for the horse carriage to stop.
He condescendingly looked down at the woman, and indifferently said: ”You are Zhao Qingling? If you want to pretend to be the noble Princess Pure Spirit, then please change into a set of clean and gorgeous clothes. The Zhao Qingling that I know is as arrogant as a peacock. Its tail is reaching into the sky, and it wants to kill me at any time.
”Enough!” Don't think you can humiliate me just because you have the upper hand! I, Zhao Qingling have offended you before, but I have also paid the price, why must you mock me again? ” Zhao Qingling glared at Guo Nan, flames spitting out of her eyes.
How could she not understand that Guo Nan's words were all purposely ridiculing her.
