For some reason, upon hearing this question, Jin Fengluan felt a pang of fear.
When she was being beaten in the field earlier, this country bumpkin was cursing her incessantly, but since she was still submerged in water at the time, she couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
In fact, she still couldn't figure out why this country bumpkin had suddenly stopped her. Was it because of the rebels that he had also betrayed Da Gan?
Yes, otherwise why would things have come to this?
At this moment, upon hearing Hu San's questioning, Jin Fengluan staggered to her feet. She had fallen off her warhorse when the kettle was thrown at her earlier, and the horse, startled, had already run far away.
Jin Fengluan felt a sense of despair.
“You can’t be the emperor.” Seeing that Jin Fengluan didn’t speak, Hu San took another step forward, but shook his head.
But this sentence seemed to touch Jin Fengluan's sore spot. She flew into a rage, ripped off her muddy helmet, and screamed at Hu San:
"You unruly commoner! I am the emperor!"
Although she was in a more wretched state than ever before and had been driven to the brink of despair, she could not allow anyone to question the name of the emperor!
As she removed her helmet, Jin Fengluan's long-lost black hair fell loose down her back, and her face was covered with hair hanging down her forehead. She pushed her hair aside and angrily threw the helmet at Hu San.
Seeing the helmet hurtling towards him, Hu San quickly dodged it by tilting his body to the side.
"Nonsense! Even though you are a woman, you can't possibly be the emperor!"
"How could the emperor be here?! You...you must be..." Hu San was confused. Were there female soldiers in the army? There shouldn't be, but who was this woman in military uniform?
Are they refugees? Or the family members of a soldier in the army?
Hu San's rebuttal enraged Jin Fengluan even more. In the past, everyone in the world would bow down and kneel before her, but just now she had knelt before this country bumpkin for more than ten breaths.
Even now, he doesn't even recognize his own identity!
Knowing that the rebels had caught up with her and that she could not escape no matter what, Jin Fengluan was still unwilling to suffer such humiliation. She quickly searched her body, trying to find the imperial seal, to tell this blind and ignorant commoner that even if she fell from grace, she was not someone that a commoner like her could humiliate!
But after searching for a while, she felt a chill in her heart; the imperial seal was gone, obviously having fallen into the muddy field when she fell off her horse.
In her frenzy, Jin Fengluan charged forward like a madwoman, screaming:
"You bastard! How dare you defy your superiors!"
"I will never forgive you!"
Hu San watched her rush towards him, but he no longer had the resolve to make a move. After all, the person in front of him didn't seem like a soldier; she was just a weak woman in military uniform. Hu San even felt guilty for his earlier abruptness.
She must be a refugee, fleeing the war, which is why she rushed into the paddy field in a panic.
Does this mean that the soldiers behind her were the real culprits?
He looked into the distance and saw the cavalrymen riding their warhorses at a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll in a garden.
However, they came from the fields.
Even after those people, the young general riding his warhorse at full speed was also coming along the ridge of the field.
At this moment, Jin Fengluan was already standing in front of Hu San, swinging her hands and hitting him all at once. She gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to vent all her anger and humiliation on the skinny and dirty peasant slave in front of her.
After all, apart from him, she knew that she had lost the opportunity to vent her frustrations on anyone else.
Hu San tried to block the scratches from the fingernails, but the person in front of him persisted. Hu San lost his temper again and pushed Jin Fengluan into the paddy field.
"You bitch! Don't blame me for hitting you! Who told you to trespass on my land!"
"I've already warned you!" Hu San shouted.
Jin Fengluan, panting heavily, climbed out of the paddy field and gritted her teeth, saying:
"You insolent wretch! Listen to me now!"
"I am the emperor! I can go wherever I want! I can do whatever I want!"
"If it weren't for the traitor usurping the throne, I would have destroyed this damned farmland of yours completely!"
"I'll tear you apart with five horses and exterminate your entire family!" she cursed viciously at Hu San, who was horrified to hear these words.
Here we go again! Why does everyone have to destroy their own fields?!
The woman's words now sounded just like those of high-ranking adults.
Hu San had heard scholars mention things like being torn apart by five horses and having your entire family executed during casual conversations at the village entrance. These were things that only emperors would say and do.
He vaguely remembered hearing Wang Xiucai say that the former General Who Protects the Nation, named Huang something, had committed a serious crime and ended up being torn apart by five horses and having his entire family executed.
Could it be? She really is the emperor? Hu San looked at Jin Fengluan with astonishment.
"Are you really the emperor?" he asked the question again.
The pain in her back made Jin Fengluan hunch over slightly. She pointed at Hu San and roared, "You bastard! I only have one person by my side now. If I did, I would make you wish you were dead!"
"I am the Emperor Jin Fengluan of the Great Gan Dynasty! You blind fool! If it weren't for the traitors storming into the city, you lowly commoner would never have even touched me in your entire life!"
Upon hearing this, Hu San took a deep breath and walked forward with a stiff body.
Jin Fengluan continued to shout and curse.
Just as Hu San walked up to him, a crisp "snap" rang out!
Jin Fengluan's pupils contracted, and her face tilted uncontrollably to one side as she received a solid slap from Hu San.
"You...you dare to hit me?" Jin Fengluan's eyes widened, she covered her face with her hands, looking at Hu San in disbelief.
Hu San's face contorted with rage once more, and he roared:
"If you really are that dog emperor!"
"He deserves to be hit!!!"
“You…!” Jin Fengluan pointed at Hu San, only managing to utter a single word.
With a "smack," Hu San slapped her again, causing Jin Fengluan to stagger.
The next instant, Hu San grabbed her collar and yelled at her:
"Listen up, you dog emperor!"
"hiss--"
He took a deep breath, and a surge of fresh, rural air filled his throat and lungs through his nose and mouth. Anger burned fiercely in his chest, along with a heart full of resentment.
Just as his benefactor had grabbed the soldier by the collar and roared at him that day, Hu San also let out the loudest roar of his life at this moment:
"I've rebelled!!!"
As soon as the words were spoken.
"Whoa—"
Hearing the groan, Jin Fengluan slowly turned her stiff face.
Qin Ze, who had ridden up on horseback, stood on the field, his face indifferent. Looking at Jin Fengluan's stiff face, he calmly said:
"You've instigated another rebellion, Jin Fengluan."
