Chapter 549: Chapter 197 Great Snow Dragon Riders Open the Heavenly Gate_3

They.

were the strongest fighting force of all the barbarian tribes, excluding You State.

Among them.

Tuoba had two.

The remaining three, each of the three tribes possessed one.

“Listen up!”

Tuoba Hongxin said, “Any of you who can chop off the head of a Chen will be made a king after the Blood Sacrifice Array concludes! Any other soldier who can draw a drop of blood from Chen Sansi will be made an Earl! Cutting off his limbs, even just a finger, will earn you the title of Marquis!”

Such grand rewards!

Needless to say, not only the one hundred thousand soldiers but even the five Martial Saints were concealing excitement in their expressions.

“What are you hesitating for?”

“Hurry down the mountain, don’t fall for that boy’s schemes and tricks!”

“…”

…

At the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers of Hongze Camp stuffed the last bits of dry food and jerky into their mouths for one final replenishment of their strength.

Chen Sansi also took out another Tiger Head Golden Spear from the storage bag and personally assembled it piece by piece, keeping it as a spare. He was about to return to directing the battle when a voice as cold as ice echoed in his mind.

“Come with me.”

Shen Guiti?

Chen Sansi recognized it at once.

It was the voice of his younger sister-in-law. When he looked up, he saw a figure in a black and gold dress descending slowly on a flying sword.

“Well, if it isn’t my sister,” Chen Sansi said, carrying two long spears as he walked over. “How did you find your way here? Just in time. Since you’re here, sister, why not stay and lend a hand? With your help, our chances of victory could increase by another twenty percent!”

The Empress of Daqing had an expressionless face as pale as snow, and her voice was emotionless as she repeated, “Come with me.”

“It’s fine if you don’t want to help; you can leave.” Chen Sansi had anticipated this: “If I die here, Sister Lan and Du He will have to rely on you, sister-in-law. I, Chen Sansi, have failed them both, mother and child.”

“Knowing that you have wronged them,” said the Empress indifferently, “aren’t you coming with me?”

Instead of answering, Chen Sansi turned to leave.

Who would have thought…

The Empress lifted her sleeve and blocked his path, her tone carrying an irrefutable authority: “I’m telling you one last time, come with me.”

“Have you gone mad?” Chen Sansi asked in disbelief. “Not helping is one thing, but please don’t delay the battle. Step aside.”

“What if…” In the palm of the Empress, a flying sword emerged along with flowing light, her voice cold: “I don’t move aside?”

“Then I guess, I’ll just have to spar with my sister,” said Chen Sansi determinedly, spinning the two long spears as True Qi surged forth.

Seeing his stance,

The Empress of Daqing finally put down the sword: “Is it worth it? The people inside Liangzhou City are no kin of yours, why take the risk of losing your life to save them? Come with me. You have a Spirit Root, and for my sister’s sake, even if you have the lowest qualification, I could send you to a Major Sect to be a servant disciple; you could still enjoy a life of wealth and luxury in the mundane world.”

“My master is in the city; how can I say they are of no concern to me?”

“He’s already a dead man.”

“And my senior sister…”

“What? You want me to save your mistress as well? You don’t need to mention your daughter either; she’s not my sister’s flesh and blood, not even your own biological child.”

“What about the common people, then?”

“The common people?”

At this point,

the Empress of Daqing’s eyes, cold as the freezing point, finally showed an emotion: confusion.

She said, puzzled: “Aren’t the common people the least related to you?”

Facing her question,

Chen Sansi didn’t answer directly.

Instead, he reached inside his jacket, and soon took out a stack of silver notes, slapping them into the Empress’s hand, followed by several Silver Ingots.

“Wait a second…”

As he spoke, he searched his waist for some copper coins, but before he could hand them over, the Empress disdainfully scattered them on the ground, saying indifferently, “I have no need for mundane silver and gold. I wouldn’t let Sister lack food or clothing.”

“I know you are the Emperor of Qing, who could be richer than you? That’s not what I mean. I’m answering your question. Didn’t you ask what the common people have to do with me?”

Chen Sansi bent down to pick up the scattered silver notes and silver, one by one, holding them in his hand to show them, and said calmly:

“At first, I was a hunter.”

“Living off a bow and arrow, surviving by my own hands.”

“At that time, aside from the people close to me, ‘the common people’ really didn’t matter much to me; I was just one of them, choosing to save myself when faced with such a situation.”

“But later.”

“I became ‘official’.”

“Do you see these silver notes? Each worth thousands of taels, an amount many would never earn in their lifetimes. With these, your sister and I could live in a large house, eat delicacies, and enjoy a life of wealth and luxury.”

“So, what do you think, where did these silver come from?”

“Nonsense.”

The Empress said impatiently, “It’s naturally your official salary.”

“No, you’re wrong. These silver notes are not from the court, nor from the Emperor,” Chen Sansi said as he took a handful of Spiritual Grain from the storage bag, suddenly intensifying his tone, “but from the common people.

“The common people give grain and stipends to the Beiliang Army, and for what?

“Isn’t it to seek safety and protection? When barbarians breach the Great Wall and invade their villages, shouldn’t someone stand up to stop them?”

“Receiving money to ward off disasters is naturally right and proper.”

“The Jianghu Escort Agency has a saying, ‘The mission ends only when the escort dies.’

“Even the people of Jianghu understand this principle. Don’t you, sister, no, Your Majesty of Daqing, understand it?”

After his speech,

the Empress of Daqing pondered for a moment, eventually speaking lightly, “That’s an interesting perspective. But in the end, you still choose to stay and risk your life?”
