I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1048

Among them, five people were involved in the Barbarian Slave trade, seven were connected to the Gu God Sect, and the rest were mostly embezzling public funds, abusing power, neglecting duties...

To everyone's surprise, Prefect Jiao Yu, apart from taking some small bribes, didn't have any fundamental issues. In this group of corrupt officials, he was actually considered a breath of fresh air.

The commotion in the state mansion naturally alarmed the Empress.

Leaving the inner chambers and arriving at the front hall, she learned the ins and outs of the situation. Her phoenix eyes filled with coldness, "This is after reshuffling. It can be said that the officialdom in the Southern Border is rotten to the core! If Chen Mo hadn't thought of this trick, it would have been impossible to uproot all these pests!"

Looking up at the sky, she asked, "By the way, has Chen Mo not returned yet?"

Zhong Lihe shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen said he was going to investigate in the city to find the whereabouts of the Barbarian Slave, but there's been no reply until now. I have already sent someone out to look for him."

The Empress's brows slightly furrowed.

With Yu Youhan around, there shouldn't be any safety issues, but with no news for so long, it's inevitable to feel a bit worried.

Chu Yanli sat on the chair, her face darkened, speechless.

She had planned to dispatch the Xuanhuang Army to seal off Bailu City, but after activating the Tiger Talisman, there was no response.

It wasn't until an hour ago that she finally received a reply.

It turned out that as early as noon yesterday, the border fortress received a falcon-transmitted letter from the court, stating that Barbarian Tribe cavalry would invade the border that night... The strange thing was, it had neither a signature nor an official seal.

With a mindset of rather believing it to be true, the stationed commander preemptively set up an ambush.

And it actually caught them off guard!

With no heart but schemes on their side, nearly a hundred elite Barbarian Cavalry were severely injured or killed. It was finally the Barbarian Tribe commander who burned his Essence Blood to forcibly tear open a gap in the defense line, escaping with just a few Barbarians.

Even so, he paid the price of an arm!

This confrontation was a great victory!

"Bone Erosion Tribe?"

"At this critical moment, counterattacking with only a hundred men is clearly just a bluff; even without receiving early news, it wouldn't pose any threat to the border."

"It seems that those Barbarian Slaves were likely provided by them, and their actions this time were at the request of the person behind the scenes."
