Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 153 The Four Demon-Slaying Heroes of the Divine Martial King's Mansion

"Your Highness, this is the message that just came from the front."

Liu Yu handed a small cylindrical tube to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu opened it and saw that it contained information about the Northern Barbarian Army.

"Ha, they've gotten smarter; they've actually split their forces and retreated."

Qin Wu smiled.

This was indeed unexpected for him.

He truly hadn't expected that the Northern Barbarian army would directly split up and withdraw, leaving behind 100,000 cannon fodder to block them.

However, if the Northern Barbarians think they can escape so easily, aren't they underestimating Qin Wu?

Therefore, he could not defeat all the Northern Barbarians, but defeating most of them would not be a problem.

"I hope they like the gifts I gave them."

Qin Wu said with a smile.

"Go and inform the people ahead that how much merit they can gain depends on themselves."

Qin Wu then smiled and said to Liu Yu.

"Yes."

Liu Yu accepted the order and left immediately.

"Inform Fu Hua that you can deal with the Right Wise King's men. After that, he can lead his troops to take over the Right Wise King's territory."

Qin Wu spoke to the air.

As soon as he gave the order, a bodyguard secretly left.

What followed was a chase, a game of cat and mouse where neither could escape.

After receiving Qin Wu's orders, Fu Hua also began to act decisively against the Right Wise King.

The Right Wise King's army, which had been besieged for so long, was already running out of fighting strength. Their food supplies had long been exhausted, and they had been eating only one meal a day for the past few days.

The soldiers could only guarantee their survival; maintaining their fighting strength was simply impossible.

Faced with the Zhenbei Army's attack, they had little ability to resist and were ultimately annihilated by the Zhenbei Army's blades.

Of course, as a demon general, Fu Hua's wisdom and strategy are self-evident, so it's impossible for him to launch a direct attack.

They always launched their attacks while the Right Wise King's army was eating.

This caused the Right Wise King's army to be thrown into chaos each time, and soon they were rendered incapable of fighting due to hunger.

Ultimately, they could only be slaughtered.

The Right Wise King was also captured alive.

After the Right Wise King's army was defeated, Fu Hua sent a hundred-man squad to escort the people back, and then directly led his troops to sweep through the Right Wise King's territory.

Meanwhile, the Barbarian King and the Left Wise King escaped the encirclement during these days and are heading towards the Northern Barbarian Royal Court at full speed.

They wanted to get back to the Northern Barbarian King's Court as quickly as possible, establish a defensive line, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Zhenbei Army.

Their orders were also relayed out.

By the time they returned to the Northern Barbarian King's Court, more than half a month had passed.

After Qin Wu's troops failed to catch up, he began to sweep away the various tribes and clans of the Northern Barbarians.

It was two months later when the army finally reached the Northern Barbarian King's court.

The battle report was sent back immediately.

During this period, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was overjoyed after receiving the battle report.

This time, they didn't pay a heavy price at all, yet they captured more than half of the Northern Barbarian territory.

Especially regarding food supplies, he really didn't expect that Qin Wu could be self-sufficient on the grasslands.

He doesn't need to worry about any of that.

It can be said that this battle truly made the Emperor of Eastern Qin feel very comfortable.

The only downside was that Qin Wu was far too bloodthirsty, and the army he sent to take over the situation sent word back.

The descriptions above are very simple: rivers of blood and corpses strewn across the fields.

It could be said that the army that went to take over the territory did nothing but dig pits and bury corpses along the way.

Moreover, according to statistics, Qin Wu killed tens of millions of Northern Barbarians in just a few months.

He's practically a killing machine.

As a result, Qin Wu was impeached many times in the imperial court.

Finally, the Emperor of Eastern Qin had no other choice but to send someone with an imperial edict to Qin Wu, ordering him not to kill everyone.

Let him leave some behind as laborers to develop the northern barbarians and build cities.

Furthermore, Qin Wu's rampage at the front caused rivers of blood and fields of corpses, and his women also gave the Eastern Qin Emperor a headache.

These women are truly not to be trifled with. Every time they hear that someone has impeached their men in court, that official and his entire family, including both master and servant, are poisoned that very night.

This caused widespread panic throughout the court.

The Emperor of Eastern Qin was almost ready to send the women directly to Qin Wu.

But in the end, I held back.

Actually, the most pitiful were the princes, who were the first to impeach Qin Wu.

Seeing the current situation of the Northern Barbarians, they concluded that the Northern Barbarians were nothing special and all wanted a share of the spoils.

However, the end result was that the group was given special attention, and whenever someone ginsenged Qin Wu, they would be poisoned.

Moreover, the poison is different each time, which has caused the group to need assistance to walk.

This forced the Imperial Medical Academy to send imperial physicians to reside permanently in their residences.

This also led to a shortage of imperial physicians in the palace, forcing the Emperor of Eastern Qin to open examinations for the Imperial Medical Academy to recruit new physicians.

It can be said that with the efforts of just four people, they directly expanded the size of the Imperial Medical Academy.

After the news spread, the entire capital fell silent.

Everyone couldn't help but think to themselves, 'They really are four living devils.'

In the capital now, people from all major powers avoid the Divine Martial King's people as much as possible.

Where they appear, there is absolutely no one else within a radius of thirty meters.

You might say that's fine, just go out less often, but the problem is that the four of you are shopping addicts, going out shopping together every few days.

It made everyone tremble with fear.

Some people were even secretly speechless, wondering if the Divine Martial Prince's Mansion was really that rich.

These few old folks always buy loads of stuff whenever they go out, they don't treat money like money at all.

The Emperor of Eastern Qin was speechless upon receiving the news.

There's no way to confine the four of them without evidence.

They could only let it go. As for the court officials' accusations that Qin Wu had embezzled war spoils, the Eastern Qin Emperor simply said, "Produce the evidence, and I will immediately order the arrest of everyone in the Divine Martial Prince's Mansion."

But could Qin Wu leave them evidence of his actions?

Everyone knew that Qin Wu was extremely greedy, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

All I can do is envy, be jealous, and hate them.

It can be said that in the capital of Eastern Qin today, the four women are like four little tyrants, feared by ghosts, and no one dares to mess with them.

In the end, all we could do was let them be; as long as they were happy.
