Chapter 224

By the time Xie Qiqi woke up around noon, the victory report from Princess Consort Hanshan had arrived by fast courier. The tremors the previous night had indeed been caused by an avalanche. Princess Consort Hanshan had followed Moyuan’s suggestion, using herself as bait to lure the Snow Wolf King into a trap, where she triggered an avalanche using the power of thunder-clatter bombs. Her forces had decimated the Snow Wolf King's vanguard with minimal losses. By the time the Snow Wolf King realized he had been deceived, it was already too late to escape, and he was buried in the slide. The remainder of his army was so terrified by the avalanche that when Princess Consort Hanshan appeared, claiming the spirits of the snowy mountains had manifested to strike them down, the soldiers surrendered. Princess Consort Hanshan was currently reorganizing her troops. In her letter, she inquired about Tuoba Yu’s surgery; if he was safe and sound, she intended to strike back at the Imperial City in one fell swoop to bring an end to the war. Princess Consort Hanshan replied to her, saying the surgery had been a success and urging her to proceed with her plans.
