I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Shut up!!"

Shi Jian glared at the screaming children and said, "If you keep screaming, throw them down."

The children choked with fear, and immediately shut up when they saw their brother in Shi Jian's hands.

The empress pursed her lips tightly, and she remained unmoved by the children's pleas for mercy.

Her eyes were fixed on King Zhenbei.

Seeing that Shi Jian was about to push Wu Ma Zirui down and the King of Zhenbei had no reaction on his face, the empress clenched her fists nervously.

Finished!

King Zhenbei didn't care about the lives of these hostages at all. He was going to completely break off relations with her.

Looking at the endless enemy troops behind the King of Zhenbei, the empress was so anxious that a layer of cold sweat oozed out of her back.

The total number of defenders in the imperial city is less than 100,000, so they won’t be able to hold out for long if a real fight breaks out.

The reinforcements dispatched from other cities simply could not arrive in time.

By the time the reinforcements arrived, the imperial city had already been captured by Prince Zhenbei.

"Hang all six children on the city gate tower!"

The empress had a sullen face and decided to take a gamble...

.....

Cong Chongqiu looked at Shi Jian's tricks on the city gate tower with a telescope and sneered.

"Shi Jian's brain, tsk tsk!!"

Whenever he thought about the people opposite him thinking they were from the Wu Ma family, he wanted to laugh.

"Hey, Prince, look, those bastards from the Wu Ma family are hanging on the city gate tower."

Cong Chongqiu grinned and shouted excitedly.

These little bastards have never been good people since they were young, and each of them has at least dozens of lives on his hands.

The adults in the Wu Ma family have their own zoo, and the children have their own zoo.

These little devils would ask their assassins to capture little beggars, and then lock them up with mad dogs and watch them get bitten by the mad dogs.

He felt very happy to see these little guys suffer.

Xiao Yunhao's eyes swept across the faces of those children, his eyes full of murderous intent.

He looked very familiar with these children.

When he was in the beggars' den, several little beggars were captured by these children.

It was these children who allowed the beggars to steal his food, which led to him being taken away by the people in the zoo.

Xiao Yunhao narrowed his eyes and reached out to the crossbowman beside him, "Give me the crossbow!"

The crossbowman was stunned for a moment, then quickly handed the crossbow arrow to Xiao Yunhao.

Cong Chongqiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xiao Yunhao excitedly.

"Your Majesty is going to shoot Shi Jian?"

The guy's head was bandaged so obviously that it was indeed easy to aim at.

Xiao Yunhao curled his lips and sneered. After aiming at the target, he heard a "whoosh" sound.

An arrow flew quickly towards the city gate tower.

The secret guards beside the empress saw the crossbow arrows suddenly fired by the Zhenbei King, and immediately raised their swords to block the empress, "Protect the emperor!"

Shi Jian was so frightened that he squatted down, his head ached and his face turned pale.

Damn it, can we have a proper talk? He just shoots arrows without saying a word.

If you have any requests or ideas, just say them, bring them up, what's the point of archery!!

Shi Jian squatted on the ground, feeling so angry that he wanted to curse.

"what!!!"

A scream was heard, and the noisy city gate tower suddenly became quiet.

Shi Jian squatted on the ground in a daze, looking up at the envoy in disbelief.

"Who did they kill?!"

What happened? He just heard the screams of a child hanging outside the city gate tower.

The people of the Wu Ma family are so cruel to their own people, then what are they?

Shi Jian felt a deep fear for the Wu Ma family.

These people are simply not human.

The envoy poked his head out from the parapet tremblingly and quickly glanced at the children hanging outside.

Looking at the arrow stuck in Wu Ma Zirui's forehead, the envoy's pupils trembled.

"Dead, Wu Ma Zirui is dead..."

The empress pushed aside the secret guards blocking her way, and looked at the Zhenbei King holding a crossbow in the distance in shock. She looked at Wu Ma Zirui, who was hanging outside without life, in disbelief.

"how so....."

Before she could even make a move on the hostages, the Wu Ma family had already taken action and eliminated them.

This was the warning given to her by the Wu Ma family.

She understands!

The empress looked at the crossbowmen lined up beside Prince Zhenbei and felt extremely panicked.

Just now, the King of Zhenbei shot only one arrow. If that row of crossbowmen shot arrows together, there would be countless casualties on the city gate tower.

How many waves of crossbow attacks can the secret guards around her withstand?

The empress took a deep breath, glanced at the arrow that pierced Wu Ma Zirui's head, and her heart trembled.

The shooting power is so strong that the Wu Ma family developed such a good crossbow, but they never mentioned it to her.

The empress smiled self-deprecatingly.

What is she thinking? The Wu Ma family is going to rebel.

They are eyeing her throne, so how could they give her the good things they developed?

"Brother...Ahhh!!" The children hanging next to Wu Ma Zirui came to their senses and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Help, brother, wuwu..."

"Your Majesty, save me..."

"......"

The children's cries brought everyone on the city gate tower back to their senses.

The empress took a deep breath and glanced at the crying kids calmly, "Shut up!"

"The Wu Ma family has given up on you. If you keep crying, they will just throw you away."

Useless things are just an eyesore if kept.

Of course, she was just talking and she really didn't dare to do anything to these little brats.

The people of the Wu Ma family dared to take action, but she...didn’t dare!

The empress pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "Bring me the tin horn!"

The secret guard quickly put the trumpet-shaped thing made of rolled iron sheet into the empress's hand.

The empress put the tin trumpet in her mouth and shouted at the enemy,

"I have always been on good terms with the Wu Ma family and have always treated them with great favor. Why must the King of Zhenbei be so aggressive?"

"I can marry the King of Zhenbei and sit on the throne together!!"

The empress thought that the age of Prince Zhenbei should be about the same as hers, so it didn't matter if he was a little younger. It wouldn't matter if she suffered a little loss.

As long as her status as empress could be guaranteed, she didn't mind sitting on the dragon throne with King Zhenbei.

Shi Jian stared at the empress with wide eyes, his eyes full of shock.

What the hell!!!

One country, two emperors?

Everyone on the city gate tower was stunned when they heard the empress's words.

The minister who wanted to object opened his mouth, but when he caught a glimpse of Wu Ma Zirui who was shot dead out of the corner of his eye, he immediately shut up.

If you think about it carefully, the Empress's method is actually the best.

In this way, the officials in the imperial city will not be reshuffled and their lives can be saved.

So be it two emperors. Your Majesty always had to consult the Wu Ma family on everything in the past anyway.

Now the Wu Ma family, which used to stand behind the empress and give advice, is just standing beside the empress. There is no difference.

As long as the empress's throne remains, his life can be saved.
