Qiao Bao and Jin Han brought King Ming Kang and Crown Prince Ming Lang to Hebei City. The two people would get punishment from Princess Liu Yao, the one who was most entitled to punish them. It was certain that they would serve the sentence together with Royal Eunuch Shu as well as Prince Qing Moran, and the death penalty was a punishment that deserved to be given to them.

King Ming Kang and Crown Prince Ming Lang were dragged into the square of Hebei City, and they were roughly made to kneel in line with Royal Eunuch Shu as well as Prince Qing Moran.

Princess Liu Yao who was accompanied by Qin Chen, she had just arrived at the City square and received a standing ovation from the City residents who loved her dearly, and respected her. Being on the special stage that had been prepared for her, Princess Liu Yao stared cynically at the existence of King Ming Kang and Crown Prince Ming Lang.

Not wanting to linger on those who continued to wreak havoc in Zhuhai City, Princess Liu Yao immediately sentenced King Ming Kang and Crown Prince Ming Lang to death. The two were sentenced to be beheaded in front of the entire population of Hebei City. In fact, not a few residents of Zhuhai City had come to Hebei City only to see firsthand the death penalty of those who had wreaked havoc in their City.

Although King Ming Kang and Crown Prince Ming Lang continued to beg for forgiveness and promised to pay a large amount of compensation for their lives. Their punishment remains, and their heads will be hung at the gates of Zhuhai City as a memorial to those who still want to wreak havoc in Zhuhai City. Especially the warning was aimed at the King of Gui Kingdom.

After punishing King Ming Kang and Crown Prince Ming Lang, Princess Liu Yao set her sights on Royal Eunuch Shu as well as Prince Qing Moran. The two also continued to apologize to Princess Liu Yao, but just as before the Princess ignored her enemy's apology, and she still sentenced the two to death.

The two executioners who were about to carry out the death penalty were already prepared, and within seconds the Royal Eunuch and Prince Qing Moran met their end at the swords of the two executioners who were doing their duties unblinkingly.

Princess Liu Yao had her soldiers bring the head of the Royal Eunuch Shu to the Royal capital, and hung that head on the gate of the capital. As for the head and body of Prince Qing Moran, Princess Liu Yao had already prepared a pile of wood to directly body her, while her head would she send to the Qing Empire.

The death penalty on those who had made a mess had been completed. The residents of Hebei City and Zhuhai City who were in the square began to disperse, returning to their respective activities. As for Qin Chen and Princess Liu Yao, both of them were preparing to return to the capital of Shu Kingdom.

Elsewhere, precisely in Zhuhai City, Jin Han who had previously come to help the war, was, today also he decided to return to the Chu Kingdom to continue his duties as Qin Chen's eyes and ears in the Chu Kingdom's palace.

Jin Han returned accompanied by five thousand soldiers, who would return in charge of guarding Qin Chen's palace. Although they were only five thousand warriors, they were the best warriors among the entire Black Dragon army.

“Brother Han, next time we will spend time drinking together,” said Qiao Bao who delivered Jin Han's departure to the gates of Hebei City.

Jin Han simply nodded his head, then he immediately spurred the horse leading the five thousand warriors back to the Chu Kingdom.

“Brother Bao, we also have to prepare because the Princess asked us to come with her back to the capital!” said General Shang Hong who had been standing next to Qiao Bao ever since.

Qiao Bao nodded his head, then he said, “It's time we cleared the capital of the trash that disturbs the scenery.”.

Two days later.

The Qing Imperial Palace.

Qing Luo, the Emperor of the Qing Empire gritted his teeth furiously after he saw one of his sons coming home in a miserable state, even only part of his head could he bury. In addition to losing one of his sons, Emperor Qing Luo also had to lose the Dragon Spear warrior who was one of the important pillars of his Empire. Losing two figures that were precious to him, really made him angry.

Emperor Qing Luo already knew who the cause of their deaths was. However, he could not immediately repay the man's actions. After all, successfully killing the Dragon Spear Warrior who was one of the King warriors in the martial world, of course that person was not a figure that could be underestimated.

Meanwhile, in the Ming Kingdom palace that no longer had a leader, all the higher-ups of the Kingdom were having discussions discussing the future of the Ming Kingdom.

They had three options to determine the future of the Ming Kingdom.

The first choice, they would appoint the New King from another family to replace King Ming Kang.

The second option, they could fuse the entire Ming Kingdom territory with the Gui Kingdom, and eventually the Ming Kingdom would collapse.

For the third option is actually the same as the second option, but in the third option they plan to fuse all the territory of the Ming Kingdom with the Shu Kingdom.

After a time-consuming discussion day and night, the entire Royal Highness had made up their minds, and they all agreed to take the third choice. Merging the Ming Kingdom with the Shu Kingdom.

In fact, most of the Ming Kingdom's senior officials disagreed with King Ming Kang's decision to invade Shu Kingdom, because they had good relations with the higher-ups of Shu Kingdom who worked under Princess Liu Yao. Now that the decision had been taken, some of them would go to Shu Kingdom to pass on the results of their discussion to Princess Liu Yao.

Although there will no longer be the name of the Ming Kingdom, the higher-ups who have devoted themselves for decades to the Kingdom, they desperately hoped that the inhabitants of Ming Kingdom would get a better life after being under the leadership of Princess Liu Yao.

The Chu Royal Palace.

Grand Concubine Li Wei who had now become the Queen of the Chu Kingdom succeeded the previous King. He carefully heard the reports of the spies he was assigned to find out what had happened in the five Kingdoms under the supreme power of the Qing Empire.

Queen Li Wei did not hear anything interesting as her spies told her what was going on in Tang Kingdom, and Song Kingdom. However, Queen Li Wei became interested in her spy stories, when she heard stories about what happened in Shu Kingdom, Ming Kingdom, and Gui Kingdom.

“The death of King Ming Kang and Crown Prince Ming Lang will be the beginning of the destruction of the Ming Kingdom. However, I did not expect Princess Liu Yao to dare execute Prince Qing Moran, which was the same as her challenging an open battle with the Qing Empire. Although the power of the Qing Empire is much weaker than in the past, it remains that the Qing Empire is still strong, and the Shu Kingdom must be destroyed if the entire Kingdom decides to help the Qing Empire,”, said Queen Li Wei.

“Your Highness, there is little chance of another Kingdom helping the Qing Empire if it is related to the Shu Kingdom. After all the King of the Tang Kingdom who was the Uncle of Princess Liu Yao, and also the Empress of the Song Kingdom who was the Aunt of Princess Liu Yao. They would naturally prefer to give assistance to the Shu Kingdom rather than give assistance to the Qing Empire.”.

“In addition to the possibility that Princess Liu Yao who will soon be appointed Queen of Shu Kingdom, it is certain that the two Kingdoms will stand on the side of Shu Kingdom,” said the trusted spy Queen Li Wei.

“It looks like the Kingdom of Shu is in a strong position. It is likely that only the Kingdom of Gui is willing to help the Qing Empire, but with the haughty attitude of the King of Gui Kingdom, it is unlikely that it can happen,”, said Queen Li Wei.

“What Does Your Majesty not want to give support to one of the powers?.”

Queen Li Wei shook her head, “For now we just need to focus on increasing the power of the Kingdom. Their problems let them be their problems. However, war will only weaken the strength of those who fight. Despite being winners in the war, they will still suffer losses that are not small.”.

“As we continue to grow stronger while those who fight continue to suffer losses. Surely we will have enough strength to take advantage of the situation after their war is over,” Empress Li Wei said then she showed a meaningful smile on her face.
