Standing beside Lin Zaozao, Ruo Qiu noticed Lin Zaozao's sparkling eyes and lightly coughed as a gentle reminder.
"Zaozao, the person below holding the meteor hammer is General Qian Ye of Canglan Country, and the female general standing beside her is General Qian Yu, who belongs to the same clan as her.
The four men standing in line with them are Zhao Qinglan, Zhao Qinglü, Zhao Qingzi, and Zhao Qingwei from Fengshuo Country.
The Qian family and the Zhao family are the pillars of Canglan and Fengshuo, the two countries respectively.
With the Qian family in Canglan and the Zhao family in Fengshuo, the gates of the border between Canglan and Fengshuo will always be secure."
"Qian Ye, Qian Yu, Qian eyes? Why do the names of these two female generals have something to do with money?
And as for Zhao Qinglan, Zhao Qinglü, Zhao Qingzi, and Zhao Qingwei, did they get beaten up so many times on the battlefield that they came up with these peculiar names after looking at their wounds?
Otherwise, why do their names resemble the colors of bruises so much?"
Listening to Lin Zaozao's murmurs, Ruo Qiu and Han Ye couldn't help but laugh.
Good names should stay where they belong, and it's hard for Zaozao to come up with something different.
Although Qian Ye and Qian Yu come from a family of generals, they are not lacking in wealth.
As for Zhao Qinglan, Zhao Qinglü, Zhao Qingzi, and Zhao Qingwei, their martial skills are remarkable even in Fengshuo Country.
Who would dare to beat them up?
Han Ye and Xiao Taohua couldn't help but laugh when they heard Lin Zaozao constantly grumbling about the unpleasant names of Qian Ye and others.
The Qian sisters on horseback and the four young generals from the Zhao family looked up and saw Lin Zaozao and the men beside her laughing and chatting.
Suddenly, a surge of anger filled their hearts.
The hundred thousand troops of Canglan and Fengshuo had arrived at the gates of Han Country.
Even if Han Country had strong soldiers and horses, when they engaged in battle, it would undoubtedly be a scene of bloodshed.
Indeed, this Empress of Han Country, who had just returned from the people, was a vulgar and incapable fool.
It's no wonder that their Majesty decided to lead the troops to attack Han Country.
Because Han Country is now a piece of succulent meat coveted by everyone. If they can't take a bite out of it, then their Majesty's preparations for more than a decade would be in vain.
"I am General Qian Ye of Canglan Country. By order of the Empress, I have come to capture you, the demon who spread plague in Canglan and Fengshuo. Empress of Han Country, do you dare to lead your troops down and fight against us?"
"Damn it! Qian eyes, do you even know how to speak? I don't know martial arts. If I go down and fight you, won't I be seeking death?"
Seeing Qian Ye below the city wall, Lin Zaozao couldn't help but mock loudly.
"Empress of Han Country, you are just afraid of death and dare not come out!" Qian Yu shouted loudly.
"Qian, if you say that I am afraid of death in this life, then aren't you all also afraid of death?"
"We, sisters, dare to lead the troops to attack Han Country and capture you, this witch. Naturally, we are not afraid of death."
Qian Yu proudly proclaimed.
"Oh! You two have no fear of death! Since you're not afraid to die, then one of you should die in front of me first to prove your words."
"..."
"What's the matter? Why don't one of you die first to prove that what you said earlier was true? It seems that you two money-grubbers are just like me, afraid to die!"
We may be equally afraid of death, but I can stand on this city wall and talk to you. Meanwhile, the empresses of the countries of Canglan and Fengshuo, they are currently cuddling with their male consorts, playing games under the sheets!
Compared to those two old women, this lowly person who fears death, standing here and berating you, is truly magnificent."
"Mingzhu, how dare you slander our empresses! You're seeking death!"
Lin Zaozao stared at the arrow shot by Zhao Qinglan in anger, without even blinking.
With so many guards and hidden warriors around her, if she were to be injured, it would only prove that everyone by her side is a bunch of incompetents.
Unfortunately, they were not.
On the other side of Lin Zaozao, Dashan effortlessly caught the flying arrow with his bare hands and snapped it in half with a slight force.
Throwing away the broken arrow in his hand, Dashan looked at Zhao Qinglan with intense killing intent in his eyes.
To shoot an arrow at his young master right in front of him, did they really think Dashan was a pushover?
Soon, he would be the first to take off Zhao Qinglan's head.
Lin Zaozao watched Dashan's furious expression and stepped forward to pat his hand, signaling him to take a step back.
"Zhao Qinglan, why are you so angry? Could it be that what I said was true? During the battle between the armies, the empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo are really playing fairy games with their male consorts in bed!"
Lin Zaozao's unabashed teasing voice made the soldiers below the city wall grimace.
Originally, when they set out for battle this morning, the empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo were supposed to pour wine for them and cheer them on.
But they waited for a whole hour under the raised battle flags, and the empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo never showed up.
Upon inquiring, they found out that the empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo were busy frolicking with their husbands, having a jolly good time.
Now, with the Empress of Han Country's words, the faces of the hundred thousand soldiers from Canglan and Fengshuo turned unsightly.
Their empresses were truly, outrageously absurd.
Even if they were a bit extravagant in their daily lives, what about today?
They actually disregarded everything and shamelessly engaged in unspeakable acts together.
Lin Zaozao glanced at Ji Fantian and Xiao Taohua below the city wall, observing the solemn atmosphere of the armies of Canglan and Fengshuo. She asked them,
"Fantian, Xiaotaohua, what kind of medicine did you two give to the empresses of Canglan and Fengshuo last night?"
"Zaozao, didn't you already guess it? It was an aphrodisiac."
"Love potion? Why don't you give the empresses of the Han and Fengshuo countries a dose of poison! Just poison them and we wouldn't have to go through the trouble of fighting today."
"Well, the empresses of the Han and Fengshuo countries have too many loyal warriors by their side, and they are skilled in using poison.
We were able to administer the love potion to them thanks to the assistance of our undercover agents planted around them.
But we lost two of our agents in the process!"
"Did our agents die?" Lin Zaozao asked in a low voice.
"No, they retreated. If they had stayed any longer, they would have been discovered," Han Ye whispered.
"As long as our people are safe. It's not worth it to sacrifice two lives for the next dose of the potion."
Lin Zaozao turned her head and looked at the silent hundred thousand soldiers of the Han and Fengshuo countries below the city walls, feeling a little sorry for them.
Hey! These people are nothing more than cannon fodder sent to their deaths.
They've only reached this point! She hasn't had a chance to shine yet! And they're already putting on those dead faces for everyone to see!
They're supposed to be commanding the army of ten thousand soldiers! With such weak mental fortitude, they deserve their misfortune.
So she cleared her throat and proudly said aloud,
"The hundred thousand soldiers of the Han and Fengshuo countries, you must not listen to your majesties' nonsense, claiming that I, the great immortal, have spread the plague in your countries.
You all know very well that if it weren't for my extraordinary abilities, the people of the Han and Fengshuo countries would have long been tormented to death by the plague.
Now that I have just cured the plague in your countries, your majesties have turned around and caused trouble for me. Do you have any shame?
Tell me honestly, whether it's you or your families, have you not benefitted from my grace?
Is it not I who have pulled your lives back from the gates of death?"
Lin Zaozao was met with silence as a response.
Indeed, among these hundred thousand warriors, there were some who had been saved by the antidote from Empress Mingzhu.
Now that they had recovered from their illness, they had come to Han Country to cause trouble for their benefactor.
Indeed, it was quite ungrateful of them.
But they were soldiers, and they had to obey their generals' orders.
Thinking of this, the soldiers below the city walls, who were also the people of the Han and Fengshuo countries, became resolute in their eyes.
They were not only the people of the Han and Fengshuo countries, but also soldiers defending their homeland.
As soldiers, they had to set aside personal grievances and carry out their orders.
Having made up their minds, the hundred thousand soldiers of the Han and Fengshuo countries looked at Lin Zaozao with increasingly fierce gazes.
Seeing the change in their eyes, Lin Zaozao knew that she had to put on a show as the great immortal today.
Originally, she didn't want to embarrass them.
But hey, who told them not to listen to advice!
Children who don't listen deserve a little lesson.
So Lin Zaozao took off her cloak, pointed to the sky, and said loudly,
"I, the great immortal, have descended from the heavens to the mortal realm. As long as I am present, both people and matters will encounter danger and blessings.
You small fry dare to openly offend me, and as retribution for your disrespect towards me, as punishment for you small fry."
"This immortal shall directly bring down heavenly retribution to punish you shrimp soldiers and crab generals who disrespect this immortal."
