How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 670: Is Dayan’s Mandate at Its End?

Two soldiers carried over the charred corpse of a female.

It had already turned into charcoal, but judging from the figure, it was indeed Pei Shu’er.

Lin Shiyao could barely contain her smile; she had finally managed to kill Pei Shu’er.

She would no longer have any arch-rivals; with her fortune, she could proceed with ease.

She nodded, then walked a short distance ahead, suddenly feeling a force in the space.

She paused for a moment, and just as she lifted her hand to touch it, the force disappeared again.

She had discovered this force twice before.

The first time was in an alley, now it was on the mountain.

And both times, Pei Shu’er was present.

She didn’t believe that Pei Shu’er didn’t have secrets.

She vaguely felt something was wrong.

She suddenly raised her head and saw a rain of arrows suddenly shooting up from the foot of the mountain.

Now that most of the trees had been burned, the cover was limited.

This wave of arrows directly injured many people, and some unlucky ones were killed instantly.

Initially, it was just ordinary arrows, but later, some arrows even had earth bombs attached to them.

Even if those arrows didn’t hit people, the explosion during the blast severely affected Yan Huan Yu’s men.

Realizing the situation, Yan Huan Yu’s people, rather than staying in place, charged toward Tang Zan’s men.

After all, arrows are only suitable for long-range attacks, not close combat.

But when their men rushed over, they did not encounter frail archers, but strong soldiers wielding large knives.

Moreover, these weapons could easily cut through iron like mud.

Although the combat power was about the same, they lagged far behind in weaponry.

It only took a moment for them to fall behind.

Lin Shiyao’s eyes turned red; she didn’t understand why the plan, despite being so well-crafted, had such a blunder.

This fire wasn’t just burning one place but spreading from the foot of the mountain to the top, forming an encirclement against Tang Zan’s men.

With such a large fire and so many people surrounding it, how could they manage to encircle and counterattack them from behind?

What exactly did Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan do?

She felt hatred but realized that no matter how much she hated it, she was powerless.

She was now on the weaker side.

Keep the green hills, don’t worry about no firewood.

After thinking it through, Lin Shiyao wanted to leave.

Anyway, this defeat was already set; staying wouldn’t change anything.

However, just as she stepped back, someone stopped her.

Pei Shu’er, with a smile on her face, swung a whip at Lin Shiyao.

"Divine Doctor Lin, what are you up to? We still have our accounts to settle."

Lin Shiyao was a person of few words; she didn’t want to stay and knew that the longer she delayed, the worse it would be.

So she made a feint and bypassed Pei Shu’er.

Just as she was about to use her Qinggong, her foot was entangled by Pei Shu’er’s whip, dragging her close.

Pei Shu’er was as strong as an ox.

Pei Shu’er chuckled: "You’ve been causing a ruckus from behind for so long, I can’t let you leave anymore."

Lin Shiyao gritted her teeth and immediately raised her palm to attack Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er saw the blackness in Lin Shiyao’s palm and knew that if that palm hit her, it could be some sinister art.

The heroine in the original work hadn’t practiced such evil skills, but unexpectedly, at this moment, she had resorted to these means.

While dodging, Pei Shu’er left whip marks on Lin Shiyao’s body.

Lin Shiyao, provoked, seriously fought back against Pei Shu’er.

Lin Shiyao had many techniques, and Pei Shu’er couldn’t resist at first, getting hit a few times.

Fortunately, once Pei Shu’er adapted, she fought Lin Shiyao to a standstill.

Once Tang Zan joined, Lin Shiyao was completely at a disadvantage.

Pei Shu’er held a whip in her right hand and a soft sword in her left.

Once she captured Lin Shiyao and pulled her in front, she unceremoniously swung the soft sword at Lin Shiyao’s right hand.

The moment Lin Shiyao’s right hand was cut off, her facial features twisted in pain, her eyes filled with shock.

"You... Pei Shu’er, I’ll make sure to kill you."

Pei Shu’er didn’t respond and splashed a bottle of acid on Lin Shiyao’s right hand, which soon corroded beyond recognition.

Halfway through her charge, even though she was filled with resentment, Lin Shiyao knew that staying longer would lead to her doom. She immediately looked at Yan Huan Yu.

"Quick, take me away."

Yan Huan Yu glanced at Pei Shu’er, then at Lin Shiyao, and eventually picked Lin Shiyao up and left the place.

Yan Huan Yu ordered, "Retreat."

Everyone retreated together and finally managed to lose the pursuers outside.

However, Lin Shiyao was losing more and more blood, her face pale, and she could barely stand steady several times.

Her face was full of venom; her... her hand had been cut off.

Her luck had been so good before, she always managed to escape unscathed; even when injured, it was never severe.

It was the first time something like her right hand being cut off had happened.

Her fortune was so strong; it couldn’t be...

She felt like she was bleeding to death, so she immediately took hemostatic powder from her pouch.

"Quick, sprinkle it on me."

Yan Huan Yu, very good-naturedly, sprinkled it on Pei Shu’er, and after it was done, Lin Shiyao fell into a coma.

She wanted to retrieve her hand now, but knew it was too late.

With that bottle of medicine poured down, her hand had already turned into bare bones.

Yan Huan Yu asked, "Where do you want to go now?"

Lin Shiyao gritted her teeth, where could she go?

She replied, "I will go to Southern Border to borrow manpower, and by then, I won’t let Pei Shu’er get away so easily."

Yan Huan Yu could only nod, sending someone to escort Lin Shiyao, while also reorganizing his scattered forces and then hiding his people.

He was no match for Tang Zan right now, so he could only lay low and bide his time until the right moment.

Reaching this point was truly unexpected for him.

To be honest, he didn’t want to show up this time; how did it get to the point of facing off against Tang Zan and Pei Shu’er?

Meanwhile, Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan also returned to the Capital.

The noble families in the Capital had already heard of the incidents involving the Emperor and Empress, immediately feeling like the sky was falling.

In such a short time, Dayan had changed Emperors three times—is Dayan’s destiny nearing its end?

Luckily, the two returned.

Of course, some ministers began to fish in troubled waters; if it weren’t for not knowing whether Tang Zan was dead or alive, some would have already proclaimed themselves Emperor.

Upon returning, Tang Zan announced the harvest of this autumn hunt and rewarded people based on merit.

Those who protected the royals and those who performed outstandingly.

However, those who deserted were punished.

Afterward, Tang Zan dealt with the backlog of official business from the recent days.

Fortunately, Shiqi handled this aspect well, having dealt with the simple matters and leaving only the particularly difficult ones for him.

Moreover, managing these tasks was handled by Li Xide, and only after he left would Shiqi appear.

Currently, the most challenging issues at the desk were undoubtedly economic development and food shortages.

After years of drought, and now in the rainy season, some areas even faced flooding, making farming impossible.

Not to mention the lack of food.
