Luckily, Cheng Guanyue discovered this earlier, otherwise they would have been able to make it through the opening.

When the officials and aristocratic families heard the news, they were all shocked and began to beg for forgiveness.

Cheng Guanyue would naturally punish them according to their size. She would not show them mercy just because of their status and identity.

With just that, Cheng Guanyue carefully observed everyone in the Kingdom Liao, and she managed to find all of them.

However, in order to prevent such a sudden situation from happening, Cheng Guanyue had directly confiscated their power to enforce the law, as well as the right to call for troops.

It had completely turned these officials and aristocratic families into empty shells. Now, even if they wanted to cause trouble, they had to consider their own strengths and weaknesses.

However, there were some aristocratic families that were deeply rooted and seemed to be difficult to deal with.

Among them was Empress Dowager Xiao's family. They had always relied on the prosperity of the Xiao Family.

This was how all their glory came about. Now, Cheng Guanyue had taken over the Xiao Imperial Family, and completely taken it into the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Then what should they do?

In the future, how would he pass on his wealth and family inheritance?

It could be said that they were a hard bone that was hard to bite off.

It just so happened that Cheng Guanyue wanted to show them a fowler. Anyone who didn't obey orders and arrangements wouldn't need to exist in this world.

After all, the Xiao family was a hundred year old family, why didn't they think of other ways to pass on their power? Instead, they thought of joining hands with the predynastic remnant to take back their power.

Wasn't this a fantasy story?

One had to know that even a million soldiers had been turned into cannon fodder by Cheng Guanyue. Now, they still wanted to rely on thousands of men to become landlords.

Is that possible?

Therefore, when the Xiao Clan found out that their clan was about to be destroyed, almost everyone covered their faces in grief.

Without the family, they were like stray dogs.

Those who had courteously fawned on them before, when they saw them, it was as if they had seen something unlucky and directly took a detour.

All of this was due to the Xiao Family's Patriarch, who was also Empress Dowager Xiao's younger brother.

It was obvious that before Empress Dowager Xiao died, he had sent a message for them to keep a low profile and submit completely to the Great Qing Dynasty. They did not want to think of any way to rebel against Cheng Guanyue.

In the end, the Xiao Family's Patriarch did not listen to Empress Dowager Xiao's advice. He believed that as long as he put in a bit of effort, he would have a slim chance of survival.

The head of the Xiao family had thought that it was a good opportunity when he received the order to reorganize the army.

Who knew that in the end, Cheng Guanyue would see through his intentions?

Even the predynastic remnant that he had worked with were captured.

No one dared to commit such a crime.

They were all people who valued their lives, and were unwilling to see their Xiao family annihilated as well.

Not to mention that the Xiao family had previously relied on their status and rarely spoke to people who were too far apart from them. There were even expressions of contempt on their faces.

Now that they had fallen to the point of being looked down upon, they could deeply feel the feelings of others back then.

It could only be said that Feng Shui flowed in circles, in thirty years, in thirty years, in the east, in the west, you would never know what would happen to the person standing in front of you in the future?

Cheng Guanyue had been in the Kingdom Liao for almost a month, and the Great Qing Dynasty had already sent many ambitious and hardworking officials to the Kingdom Liao, preparing to take over the positions of the various officials in the Kingdom Liao.

Furthermore, the Kingdom Liao Imperial Palace had directly become the Emperor's second imperial palace.

The main reason was that Cheng Guanyue felt that it was a bit of a pity to burn down the Kingdom Liao's palace just like that.

I might as well keep it.

Since someone had taken over, Cheng Guanyue could start her journey back and forth between the Great Qing Dynasty.

However, she stopped midway and let the troops leave first, setting up camp near the Baiyingshan.

However, she headed towards the Southerner's territory alone. Originally, Cheng Weiwu wanted to go with Cheng Guanyue.

One must know that her blood could disperse the parasites. However, Cheng Weiwu was an ordinary person, and could be easily deceived.

Therefore, Cheng Weiwu bid farewell to Cheng Guanyue honestly. According to her meaning, he should first go to the vicinity of Baiyingshan, which was the base area of predynastic remnant, and set up camp there.

He reckoned that when Cheng Guanyue returned to the Southern Barbaric Kingdom, she would need to remove all these spikes from the predynastic remnant.

In case they always jump out to cause trouble.

Cheng Guanyue followed the map and slowly arrived at the entrance of the Southern Barbaric Kingdom while riding her beloved colt.

As expected, clouds and mist lingered around him. Once he set foot inside, many poisonous miasma engulfed him.

Cheng Guanyue immediately held her breath, preventing the miasma from entering her nose and mouth.

However, the deeper they went, the more dangerous the terrain became. Even poisonous insects like scorpions and centipedes were crawling all over the ground.

However, when they smelled Cheng Guanyue's scent, they all retreated.

It left a large amount of space for Cheng Guanyue.

Cheng Guanyue also observed the soil under her feet, as well as the plants.

It was indeed a humid area. Even in the spring, the air here was hot and stuffy.

It gave people an especially uncomfortable feeling, but it was also very suitable for the poisonous bugs.

It was also a heaven for the life of Southerner. At the very least, ordinary people would not dare to step into this place.

He would lose his life if he wasn't careful.

Even the poison doctor had to consider it for a long time or walk around the outer perimeter of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.

No one had ever dared to directly enter the depths of the Southern Barbaric Kingdom.

On the other hand, Cheng Guanyue spent more than half a day before she arrived at a small village that was located in Southerner.

When they saw Cheng Guanyue, they immediately looked at her vigilantly.

However, what surprised and frightened them was that the Gu worms they were raising seemed to be very afraid of Cheng Guanyue.

Almost all of them ran out of sight.

Suddenly, the chief of the village, an old lady who seemed to be in her seventies and eighties, was supported out of the village by someone.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Cheng Yeyue for a while.

He then released a large centipede that was about forty to fifty centimeters long. However, the moment the centipede was released, it immediately retreated backwards.

This was the first time she had seen such a situation.

Moreover, the little girl in front of him was still young, but her entire body was sharp and fierce. One could tell with a single glance that she was someone not to be trifled with.

Thus, the chief invited Cheng Guanyue inside.

All of a sudden, the men and women in the village looked at Cheng Yeyue like she was in a mirror.

A few bold kids even circled around Cheng Guanyue.

Seeing that they were still young, Cheng Guanyue took out a snack from her sleeve and gave it to them.

Although the Southerner s had strange temperaments and were very vigilant.

But now that they saw the chief bringing her into the stronghold, they relaxed a lot.

I just let the kids stuff the pastries in their mouths.

In the end, after the children finished eating, they couldn't help but lick their palms.

This was because those pastries were truly too tasty. They were all good things that they had never seen or eaten before.

On the other hand, Cheng Guanyue felt that the reason why these Southerner were hidden deep in the forest was definitely because of something bad.
