Chapter 188: You Yun's Luck
Diwu Qingrou stopped speaking and poured another glass of wine, slowly drinking it.
The crescent moon in the sky gradually moved westward, while the shadows of trees in the pavilion swayed gently.
“I will personally write to Tie Butian and bring back the family of Number One!” Diwu Qingrou suddenly spoke after downing five or six glasses of wine.
“Um... Tie Butian may not agree, right?” Han Buchu was startled. Diwu Qingrou writing the letter herself was a clear stance. It also meant putting herself in Tie Butian's hands, giving him a chance to humiliate her.
Wouldn't that seriously damage her reputation?
“Tie Butian will agree,” Diwu Qingrou said calmly. “Send a message to Dong Wufa, instructing him to mobilize troops at the fastest speed possible. We must capture both cities of Iron Cloud at all costs! Open the gates of Iron Cloud!”
“I will inform Tie Butian that if he returns the family, Great Zhao will withdraw from these two cities!”
Han Buchu was shaken but dared not say anything. This was clearly a hasty decision made by Diwu Qingrou in her rage! It showed just how big the impact of Number One's death was on her!
“This will be the last time I, Diwu Qingrou, act on impulse in my life!” Diwu Qingrou looked up at the sky and said quietly, “And Number One is worth me doing this.”
Han Buchu finally understood.
In Diwu Qingrou's life, the person she valued most might very well be Number One. Or rather, only Number One could cause Diwu Qingrou’s emotions to spiral out of control!
But Number One was now dead; thus, Diwu Qingrou was using this decisive method to bid farewell to her former self!
In this great battle, no matter how many people died or who died among the two nations, these people would be seen by Diwu Qingrou as companions buried with her brother! It was also a funeral for the past ten years of Diwu Qingrou’s life!
From now on, Diwu Qingrou would have no weaknesses! This impulsiveness seemed reckless, but in reality, it was also a deterrent! Moreover, Han Buchu believed that Diwu Qingrou must have a backup plan!
“Cloud Crane in Iron Cloud City is not a long-term solution! If the two throne holders are found while they are still injured and have not recovered, the consequences would be dire.” Diwu Qingrou’s eyes showed signs of drunkenness, with a hint of bloodshot, but her thoughts remained remarkably clear as she said decisively, “A great battle serves as my warning! A letter represents my intention! At that time, Cloud Crane will openly escort Number One’s family back home. Under heaven, who dares stop us will be annihilated!”
Han Buchu broke out in a cold sweat.
“Could it be that Number One's family is indeed his real family?” Han Buchu simply could not understand why someone like Number One would do such a foolish thing.
“Before Number One left, he had already burned all the bridges.” Diwu Qingrou's eyes showed a hint of sadness. “I will raise his descendants well!”
Han Buchu remained silent.
No one would have thought, not even Chu Yang, that Tang Xingsheng's wife and children left in Iron Cloud were indeed his first wife and his bloodline!
This person truly was a madman!
Iron Cloud City had completely turned into a boiling pot of porridge!
Everywhere was filled with the noise of a marketplace.
One must admit, the power of the crowd is immense, and the wisdom of the masses is boundless!
After Chu Yang issued the order, the three gang leaders gathered together and devised an extremely reliable plan: to divide the entire Iron Cloud City into five sections—east, west, south, north, and center—down to the specific street and household.
Then, each took their role, forcing all outsiders from these five sections into a large open area, while Lord Cheng coordinated with various government offices in the Capital City for an investigation. Those with suspicious findings would be taken directly…
As a result, countless disturbances erupted across the city, but many spies were indeed rooted out; some with poor mental fortitude began to riot, and once captured, since they lacked self-control and were terrified of death, their mouths loosened, leading to more arrests…
