Lin Ru sneered, "Judging from that voice, she's a feisty girl!"

"Ji Wenzhuo agreed to be your wife?"

"So you betrayed your teammate and let him go!"

The woman, who had been struggling violently, immediately became wary upon hearing these words. "Who are you? Did Liu Ru send you to kidnap me? I knew that old woman wouldn't be so kind! How could she let me go so easily?"

"She was thinking of seducing the second young master to enjoy wealth and luxury, but she didn't expect that the second young master didn't like her at all and only liked me. Now she wants to seduce the eldest young master."

"We're all women! How could I not know what she's thinking?"

When Lin Ru heard her last sentence, her face turned completely cold. Wasn't this a typical case of a female jerk?

This kind of woman seems to have a brain problem. She acts like she has paranoia every day, as if all the women in the world are trying to steal her man!

It's like she can't live without a man!

She figured she wouldn't get anything out of a woman like that anyway, so she waved her hand in disappointment. "Take her away! Let her suffer a bit, then send her to meet her maker. Oh, and tell her exactly what she said about Liu Ru!"

"Let her see what kind of person she's been trying so hard to save really is!"

Quan Jinyu nodded, gave a few instructions to the people below, and then waved them away!

The woman also sensed something was wrong. "Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? What right do you have to treat me like this?"

"I am the future general's wife."

"If you dare to touch me! Ji Wenzhuo will not let you get away with this!"

"Oh, right, I heard about it. He kidnapped two little boys, and those two boys are the goddess's brothers!"

"If you don't let me go, he will definitely avenge me!"

Lin Ru sneered, "He's nothing but a pawn, thinking he's something special! If he really wanted to marry you, he wouldn't have left you here alone, not caring whether you live or die!"

"It was nothing but wishful thinking on your part from beginning to end!"

"How could someone betray their teammates for such an ungrateful man? It's laughable! They should learn their lesson this time and stay away from scumbags in their next life!"

The woman was about to say something more, but Quan Jinyu personally stuffed a rag into her mouth!

After he has done all this, he will explain to Ji Wenxuan and the others how he will deal with them!

"Your Majesty! Lord Ji was indeed deceived. It would be too inhumane to kill all of them just because of this."

"Moreover, you have just ascended the throne, and this is the time to win over the hearts of the people."

"So we'll spare their lives. But then again, you've only just ascended the throne, and such an overstepping of authority has already occurred. You must make an example of them to deter others!"

"Otherwise, everyone below will follow suit, and that will definitely cause big problems in the future!"

"I suggest that Lord Ji be demoted by one rank, and all the remaining people involved be sent to repair the city walls as punishment!"

"Now that you have become emperor, it is still necessary to improve the system and structure!"

Lin Ru nodded. "Okay, then we'll do it your way."

"I was indeed too impulsive just now."

"Thankfully, you guys helped me clean up the mess, which puts my mind at ease!"

"As for systems and mechanisms, let's talk about that after we get my brother out!"

And so, led by Lin Ru herself, everyone marched in a grand procession toward Ji Wenzhuo's encampment!

When they arrived at that place, they could hear the wailing sounds coming from inside. When they got closer, they found Lin Bai and Lin Mo tied to a pillar with their hands and feet bound together!

Two other people were whipping her repeatedly with long whips with barbs!

Lin Ru was so angry at the sight that she trembled all over!

Wu Ling immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow, piercing through both of them in one go!

As soon as the two men fell to the ground, several people emerged from the camp.

The one leading it was Ji Wenzhuo!

When he saw Lin Ru again, the murderous intent that burst forth from his eyes was almost tangible!

"Oh, isn't this the Goddess? Oh, I shouldn't say Her Majesty the Empress."

Should I greet you?

The men behind him burst into laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke!

"Have Ji Wenxuan and the others gone mad? They actually submitted to this little girl."

"What a disgrace to men."

"Women are born to serve us men, to carry on our lineage, and to be dominated by us! Yet these men are being dominated by a woman—what a disgrace!"

"I wonder if this girl is really that good in bed? She's managed to tame so many men."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the people around him, and someone shook his head in a pretentious manner, "You're not right about that. Her Majesty the Empress certainly has some martial arts skills, but in my opinion, she might not be as good as Xiao Cui from Chunxiang Pavilion!"

"You wouldn't believe it! Xiao Cui is the top courtesan at Chunxiang Pavilion! When we get back, you all have to try her out."

"Every smile and gesture, and her skills in bed, are truly intoxicating!"

"How many men has this little girl served? She doesn't seem to have much experience. She's definitely not as good as Xiao Cui!"

Ji Wenzhuo laughed heartily, then pointed at the man who had just spoken with his fan, "Eighth Brother! Your mouth is still so sharp. How could you compare the goddess in front of you to a prostitute in a brothel!"

The man called Lao Ba scratched his head, pretending to be a little embarrassed.

"How dare I compare a goddess to a prostitute in a brothel!"

"What I really mean is, she's worse than a prostitute! Hahaha!"

Those people burst into another round of malicious laughter!

Meanwhile, the people behind Lin Ru were trembling with rage, especially Wu Ling, who wished he could kill them all. He drew his bow and aimed at the person who was laughing the loudest!

Just as they were about to fire the arrows, Lin Ru stopped them! She turned her head and whispered, "Don't fire! Those people are deliberately provoking us! There are several soldiers with knives hidden around Lin Bai and Lin Mo!"

"We caught them off guard just now, but those people are on their guard now, so don't startle them!"

"Tell a few members of the Wu clan to sneak up from both sides and kill those soldiers!"

"Quickly rescue Lin Bai and Lin Mo!"

"I'm using this to attract their attention!"

"As long as I pull Lin Bai and Lin Mo five meters to the side, I can use my divine weapon to kill these people!"
