Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 772: Chapter 604: Even I, Gu Changsheng, Cannot Do It (Part 2)

”National crisis? Good! Good! Good!” Gu Changsheng laughed coldly upon hearing the words, and turned to look at the colorful figures behind him, ”Flower Peacock, can you lead my army of two hundred thousand and hold a standoff with Heluo City’s forces, which outnumber us six to one, for five days?”

Indeed, right in front of her was Yue Xilou, who had come following Gu Changsheng’s group. Days ago, Yue Xilou had found Gu Changsheng, and by then, Gu Changsheng’s troops were pressing heavily against Heluo City!

Yet, despite surrounding the city for days, she had not ordered an attack!

It turns out she was waiting for the last cards at the foot of Great Swamp Mountain to be revealed, to guard this final great city outside of Great Swamp Mountain!

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Yue Xilou suddenly had a bad premonition; his beautifully handsome face, more captivating than a demon’s, darkened a bit. He stepped forward nervously, ”Girl, what do you mean? What are you going to do?”

Seeing his reaction, a flower-like smile bloomed instantly on Ru Hua’s face, a smile that could charm an entire nation!

Seeing her smile, Yue Xilou suddenly felt his guess confirmed!

This girl! The more beautifully she smiles, the more trouble is about to happen! Having been with her for so long, how could he not know?

”That’s right! Just as you think! I intend to strike while Great Swamp Mountain’s last cards are out, and directly crush the dragon’s lair!” Gu Changsheng said with radiant eyes and a bright smile.

”My lord, you mustn’t! Leaving aside the fact that Xiangka Tianji is stationed on Witch Gu Peak, just at Three Palaces Peak, the Three Palaces and Six Halls of Southern Border, the Three Palaces have an ascendant position beyond worldly concerns, housing countless Great Accomplished Gu Women of Southern Border, none of whom are easy to deal with!” Hongfu Su immediately rushed forward, his liver and gall about to split, trying to dissuade her.

Their sovereign’s move was truly too reckless!

This was practically seeking death!

Within the military tent, several city lords who had surrendered quickly knelt down to dissuade her!

”My lord, you mustn’t! The daughter of gold does not sit beneath the hall, how can you venture alone into the perilous lands of Great Swamp Mountain?”

”My lord, the revival of the Phoenix Imperial Clan depends on you, you must not act recklessly and impulsively! I implore my lord to put this thought aside!”

”May my lord think thrice!”

”May my lord think thrice!”

”...”

The uniform obstruction made Gu Changsheng’s face turn grim immediately. Pointing at them, she spoke with frustration, ”Think thrice? I have thought five or six times! I don’t have much time left; Southern Chen has already gone to war with Bashu, Northern Mongolian and Liaodong have already raised troops against Great Zhou, my Eight Hundred Dark Night Army is dying to defend my rear! My friends are fighting bloody for me! My man is cleaning up the mess for me! Now Heluo City holds two million, military and civilians combined! How should I choose?”

”Hesitate and do nothing, trapped in this fretful city? Or should I just bomb Heluo City? I don’t mind, two million people, so be it, bombed to death, so be it! What about you? Do you not mind? Among these two million soldiers and civilians, there are many Southern Border people like you. Bomb them, destroy the last card of Southern Border, turn Heluo City into a true Fiery Hell! I don’t care about the monstrous killings, do you? If you dare to say you don’t mind, I will immediately move the troops and sweep Heluo City!”

The more Gu Changsheng spoke, the more emotional she became, thinking about the great Zhou entrapped in the fires of three borders war for her family feud, thinking about Bashu which was implicated for her!

Thinking about Borjigin Nian leading the Dark Night Army against Southern Chen, forgetting family and nation for her!

Thinking about Zhou Mu, guarding that mess of Great Zhou for her!

Where did she have time?

The Southern Border’s chaos did not settle, the fires of war behind her would never cease!

Her man, her friends, her Dark Night Army would never escape the siege from three kingdoms!

Gu Changsheng’s words thrust Hongfu Su and several city lords into a dilemma!

They too had come to surrender, their sovereign had given them a glimmer of hope, but now, this glimmer of hope is swapped for two million military and civilians of Heluo City!

No one could better understand than they, the helplessness of receiving orders from others, having no choice but to stand against the Phoenix’s Monarch!

No one understood better than they, the truth in every word spoken by the Phoenix’s Monarch!

Sweeping Heluo City, turning Heluo City into Fiery Hell, do they not mind?

That was two million military and civilians! From the same Southern Border Miao Ethnic Group, how could they utter the words ”do not mind”?

”You all mind, even you don’t want to, you think I want to? Before entering Southern Border, I was a doctor, I practiced medicine to save people, I cared for the world, though I killed to survive, yet I am not a bloodthirsty butcher!” Gu Changsheng looked at the people kneeling before her, slowly shook her head, speaking with undisguised sorrow, ”I slaughtered the army of Miaosu City, purified Canglan City, over two hundred thousand lives! I used over two hundred thousand lives to forge my unstoppable and invincible mighty presence, I am covered in the blood and lives of over two hundred thousand, which built my invincible imperial power, you fear me, so you surrendered to me! Regardless of sincerity, I accept and forgive without malice! I passed dozens of cities without entering, I used those two hundred thousand lives to exchange for the fear and surrender of those dozens of cities, exchanging for the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians! Do you know, what was my state of mind when I ordered the fall of Miaosu City and the purging of Canglan City? What courage it took, forcing myself to look at that city covered with sores, rivers of blood? Do you think, I would really raise the butcher’s knife again and slaughter Heluo City?”

Gu Changsheng spoke to this point, her long lashes lowered slightly, slowly shaking her head, ”I can’t do it! I, Gu Changsheng, can’t do it! Facing two million military and civilians, I can’t! I can’t treat these two million lives like weeds, even if they belong to Heluo Clan, even if they belong to the Three Palaces, I can’t...”
