Chapter 857: Notre Dame Mountain Palace(2/5)
Why did the queen commit suicide?
Why was the palace attacked by so many people with super powers?
"General, is the Empress Dowager awake?" Zhou Sen put down the letter in his hand, a pair of deep eyes showing cold murderous intent.
"Wake up." General Wu Yuan nodded.
"I want to see her!"
General Wu Yuan did not speak, nodded, and walked out first, followed closely by Brother Hao.
The three of them came to a heavily guarded room. In the room, there were several imperial doctors and two princesses, Yuening and Ruo Xianxian.
When the two princesses saw Zhou Sen, they couldn't help but be stunned. Obviously, they did not expect Zhou Sen to appear in the palace.
At General Wu Yuan's signal, several imperial doctors and eunuchs retreated.
The Empress Dowager was lying on the bed, her face pale and her eyes half-open and half-closed.
"I am Zhou Sen!" Zhou Sen stood in front of the Empress Dowager with a blank expression on his face, showing no respect at all.
"Wuchao City... I know you..." The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, her breath was as thin as a thread, and her voice was weak.
"Yes."
"Feel sorry."
"Why did you commit suicide?" Zhou Sen's eyes were like blades. This woman was one of his many enemies and could be regarded as the culprit.
"Do I need to tell you?" Although the Empress Dowager was lying on the bed, dying, there was still a kind of demeanor between her eyebrows that made people dare not look at her. This kind of demeanor is the temperament cultivated by long-term control of life and death.
If it were an ordinary person, he would be trembling with fear.
The person standing in front of the Empress Dowager is not an ordinary person. He is Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen who is famous all over the world. Zhou Sen crawled out from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses. Zhou Sen has a willpower as strong as steel.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!" Zhou Sen said firmly.
"Hahaha...cough cough cough...just kill me..." The Empress Dowager Jie Jie laughed strangely, laughing so hard that she was out of breath. Her body was twitching, which may have caused the wound, and her face showed a painful expression.
"I know you don't mind death, but I will whip your corpse and hang you naked at the Meridian Gate, so that everyone in the world will know that the world-famous queen is just a bitch who brings disaster to the country and the people." Zhou Sen's eyes were murderous.
"Zhou Sen, I heard that you have amazing skills and high IQ, why did you say such rebellious words? Don't you know that I am the empress dowager of a country? Even if I die, I will still have a noble status." The empress dowager looked at her.
There was a hint of contempt in the middle.
"Queen Mother, I am Zhou Sen. As long as I want to do something, I will definitely do it! As long as you tell me everything you know, I will reward you with a whole body and let you be buried with the late emperor! Remember, this is not
In exchange, I just want you to die with dignity." Zhou Sen's deep eyes were fixed on the pale face of the Queen Mother, without giving in.
"Zhou Sen, do you think General Wu Yuan and the two princesses will just sit back and watch?"
"Of course not, but if they don't listen to me, I will announce the truth in the Han Empire... Haha... Once this news gets out, this Han Dynasty will be in danger..."
"General, he actually threatened you. Hahaha..." The Queen Mother seemed to have heard a big joke and giggled, her pale cheeks showing a strange flush.
"Queen Mother, you don't need to sow discord. Although General Wu Yuan can kill me and silence me, he will never kill me silently. If the news that I, Zhou Sen, was killed by General Wu Yuan leaks out, what will happen if the news leaks out?
Everyone in the court will be in danger. After all, I, Zhou Sen, have made great contributions to the Han Empire. Many people will even think that the general is trying to usurp the throne and massacre Zhongliang. For a clean general, this is
It’s not worth the gain, especially for a vicious woman like you who assassinated her husband! In addition, you must die. If you don’t die, I, Zhou Sen, will not hesitate to drag the entire Han Empire to be buried with you!”
Zhou Sen activated his super power, and his body was wrapped in a layer of brilliance and protected by dragon armor, as if it were real. For Zhou Sen, the Queen Mother must die, and there was no room for negotiation. His words had already made his attitude clear.
General Wu Yuan naturally saw that Zhou Sen was wary of him. He glanced at the Queen Mother, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and slowly walked out of the room with the two princesses.
"Queen Mother, tell me now!" Zhou Sen slowly walked to the edge of the bed, his deep and cold eyes seeming to penetrate the Queen Mother's internal organs.
"There are rumors in the world that Zhou Sen is a bold and vicious person. It's true, it's true! It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Unexpectedly, even General Wu Yuan was coerced by you..." Seeing General Wu Yuan leave, the Empress Dowager let out a long sigh.
There was a sound.
"As long as you tell me, I can keep your secret." Zhou Sen looked cold.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the matter is over, what's the point of talking about it. Back then, my senior brother and I..."
…
Half an hour later, Zhou Sen walked out of the room.
"She is dead?" General Wu Yuan asked calmly.
"Gone with the wind." Zhou Sen looked blank.
"Zhou Sen, you actually forced the Empress Dowager to death in front of this general." A hint of joking appeared on General Wu Yuan's face.
"The general's skills are perfect for others. If the general does not want the Queen Mother to die, I, Zhou Sen, will not dare to make a mistake even if I am extremely brave." Zhou Sen said calmly.
"..." General Wu Yuan was stunned.
"General, if the Empress Dowager is alive, it will do you all harm but no good. If she does not die, she will be a thorn in the General's heart. Now that the Emperor is dead and the Empress Dowager is dead, General, you can rest assured and make bold reforms."
"Humph!" General Wu Yuan's face darkened.
"General, the emperor lacks an iron fist and is indecisive. The Han Empire is in devastation under his governance. Although the general wants to kill the enemy, he is unable to save it. Therefore, the general sees the empress dowager sitting in power and doing nothing. Now, the emperor finally takes control of the situation.
It collapsed, and the empress dowager who was the thorn in the general's side also died unexpectedly. Everything developed according to the general's trajectory, so I guess the general must have made big moves..."
"You mean I murdered the emperor?" General Wu Yuan's fair face showed cold murderous intent.
"No, Mr. Zhou has never thought so. Although the general has done nothing, he cannot be blamed on the general. After all, the emperor is entirely to blame for today's situation. Without the emperor's connivance, he would have the power to
The empress dowager who dominates the government? If the general had fulfilled his duties, he would have been kicked out of the palace long ago, so the general had no choice but to do so."
"Haha, are you afraid that I will kill you and silence you to excuse me?" General Wu Yuan was still murderous.
"No, general, there is no need to kill me. I, Zhou Sen, am still of great use to the general." Facing the murderous General Wu Yuan, Zhou Sen remained neither humble nor overbearing, calm and unhurried.
"Haha, I really can't think of you being of such great use to me that you don't kill people and silence them."
"Anyone who offends our Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is! That bullshit emperor, since he dares to offend our great Han Dynasty, he must teach him a lesson. It is best to kill him quickly and bring that island into the territory of the Han Empire once and for all. And this
Zhou is naturally responsible for the task. You must know that the people on the island are the initiators of the turmoil in the Han Empire." Zhou Sen said word by word.
"Are you going to conquer those overseas islands?" General Wu Yuan was stunned.
"Yes!"
"How can I trust you?" General Wu Yuan thought for a moment and said slowly.
"General, if you want to become an emperor and have fun, it would be best to kill Mr. Zhou now. If the general is just for the common people of the world, the general should choose to believe me!"
"You are the greatest lobbyist in the world." General Wu Yuan sighed.
"The general is wrong. If the general is too ambitious, even if I, Zhou Sen, have a sharp tongue, I will die today." Zhou Sen bent down and saluted General Wu Yuan, his expression extremely respectful.
"I saw you right." General Wu Yuan showed a trace of relief and sympathy on his face.
"I didn't misjudge you either!" Zhou Sen said calmly.
"Associating with smart people like you saves you a lot of trouble. It's really one of the joys of life."
"When you are in a relationship with a person like the general, you are always prepared to lose your head and kill every step of the way. You are walking on thin ice." Zhou Sen looked humble.
"Make conditions."
"Give me 20,000 troops and horses and the corresponding provisions for the warships."
"Twenty thousand... is twenty thousand enough?" General Wu Yuan was stunned, and then praised him: "Twenty thousand is enough for you. Back then, in Wuchao City, it was just a small team of a hundred people, and they rushed thousands of miles.
That Shanyu was defeated by hundreds of thousands of troops and fled, becoming a legend..."
"General, I'm going to Huangpu Military Training Base to ask for some people. I need your order." Zhou Sen smiled slightly. He naturally hoped that the more soldiers and horses he would have, the better. However, he knew very well that the more soldiers and horses he needed, the more cunning he would be.
General Wu Yuan became more and more worried about him. A mere 20,000 elite men were not worth mentioning to the huge Han Empire. This prevented General Wu Yuan from racking his brains to arrange his subordinates to contain him.
If Zhou Sen wants millions of soldiers, he will not be able to follow his orders and follow them, which will be unsightly.
"No problem, except for the four gods, you can choose any 20,000 people." General Wu Yuan agreed readily.
"Thank you, General!" A smile appeared on Zhou Sen's lips.
"The two princesses miss you very much. They have repeatedly asked you to visit them after we finish talking."
"Ahem...Okay." Sensing the ambiguity in General Wu Yuan's eyes, Zhou Sen's face turned red and he coughed twice.
"Go ahead, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
…
"Zhou Sen, what crime do you deserve!" As soon as Zhou Sen walked into the boudoir, the cold-faced Princess Yuening scolded her.
"The villain knows his crime and deserves to be punished." Zhou Sen, who had just entered the door, quickly bent down with a look of humility on his face.
"Pfft... Okay, okay, I'll spare your life first." Yue Ning smiled brightly, like flowers blooming in a garden, and the whole room became brighter because of her beautiful smile.
"I know the princess is reluctant to kill me." Looking at that charming smile, Zhou Sen's heart froze.
"loquacious!"
Yue Ning rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen, then her eyes fell on Princess Ruo Xianxian, as if waiting for Princess Ruo Xianxian to speak. From the moment Zhou Sen walked in, Princess Ruo Xianxian looked at Zhou Sen quietly, looking thoughtful.
color.
Finally, the silent Princess Ruo Xianxian spoke.
