Nangong Jiu explained: [If they surrender to Dongling, they will just change the emperor.
The Emperor's grandfather would not treat them unfairly just because they were once people from Xiyue.
They will not be allowed to leave their homes. They will continue to do what they should do, and their lives will only be better than before.
Really, I promise! 】
Nangong Yunxue kissed Nangong Jiu’s forehead: “Well, mother believes in you.
But what can we do to make them willingly submit to Dongling?"
【Let me think about this.】
All prefectures and counties in Xiyue.
At almost the same time, people from all states and counties were whispering about the same thing.
"Hey, have you heard that the demon reincarnation that has been making so much noise for the past month is actually a mess that the demon clan created for their own selfish interests in collusion with our Xiyue royal family.
For this reason, at least eight hundred innocent children have died, if not a thousand.
Even the gods couldn't stand it and wanted to punish Xiyue. Xiyue was about to be destroyed."
"I heard about it too. Everyone was saying that a spirit appeared in the sky. Many people saw it at the time."
"Alas, a royal family like this will only bring us disaster. They are unworthy of their position, so what's the point of having them here?"
"Yeah, pity those kids!"
"The royal family doesn't treat us as human beings, so we don't have to respect them."
“…”
After much hesitation, officials from various states and counties gathered together to hold urgent consultations on the issue of divine punishment.
"What should we do now? The people are in a panic. How are we supposed to end this?"
"What should we do? Just leave it alone! The ones who should be worried about this are the people above us.
The apparitions of the gods are real, and many people have seen them. You can't just sew their mouths shut and stop them from speaking, right?
"What I'm asking is what should we do? Should we continue to help such a foolish and ruthless king oppress the people?"
An official was heartbroken.
"A family I know had a baby girl who was born on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. She was so cute, she grinned and reached out for everyone she saw.
It turned out to be the reincarnation of a demon, and he was pierced through the heart by a sword.
Now that the truth has been revealed, how will their family survive?"
"Yeah, what's wrong with this world?"
"Have you ever thought about this? If Xiyue is really destroyed, we will become slaves of a conquered nation..."
The officials were collectively silent.
The imperial study of the Dongling Palace.
After half a day of investigation, the secret guards arrested a dozen people who originally spread the rumors.
After being handed over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, it was found that several of them were blinded by money and were used as pawns.
The rest of the people could not withstand the investigation and their identities as Western Vietnamese spies were exposed in a few seconds.
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Justice reported the situation to Emperor Dongling.
"Your Majesty, those Western Yue spies won't speak even if you beat them to death. What do you think?"
Emperor Dong Ling sighed: "Those who can be spies are all strictly trained secret guards or death squads. Ordinary interrogations are useless to them.
Forget it, let’s deal with it. Whether they say it or not, it’s the same thing.”
After Minister Chen left, Emperor Dongling summoned Nangong Honglie again.
"The people of the capital have already learned the truth of the matter, and no one is spreading it anymore. I believe that the rumors in various places will be quickly curbed."
“This is all thanks to your wise decision.
Your Majesty, Jiu'er and the others have reached the border of Western Vietnam and sent a message back saying that my father-in-law is now well."
Emperor Dongling was very happy: "Great, General Chu has dedicated his entire life to Dongling. As long as they are together, the west of Dongling will be safe."
Nangong Honglie laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the West won't be peaceful for much longer."
Emperor Dongling nodded in agreement: "Yes, the old emperor of Xiyue has been messing around like this, Xiyue's luck is about to end.
If we in Dongling don't take the initiative to attack him, it's hard to say for the other two countries.
If Southern Jin and Northern Yue join forces, Western Yue won't be able to hold out for a few days. By then, Western Yue will face the fate of being divided up."
Emperor Dong Ling walked to the map as he spoke, and pointed at it with his hand very comfortably.
"In the past, I always had a hidden worry in my heart, fearing that the three countries would unite to deal with us Dongling.
What Heaven said is absolutely right. It is a blessing for Dongling that Jiuer can be reincarnated in our Dongling.
I have Jiuer and the gods as my backers, so I don't have to worry about anything anymore, and I feel incredibly relieved."
Lingyin Mountain.
Taoist Master Qingchen and his disciples traveled to all the nearby counties and prefectures one by one, and returned to Lingyin Mountain near dusk.
Wuwang was still worried: "Master, how about we go find our Grandmaster? If necessary, we can teach that bastard Emperor of Xiyue a lesson."
"Disciple, you have broken the precepts. Monks cannot lie.
Although this matter endangers the Ninth Prince, we must trust the Emperor and believe that the Ninth Prince can handle it well."
Wuwang bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"My disciple is too concerned. My master sacrificed herself for both the human and immortal realms, yet those people still say she is the reincarnation of a demon. I am so angry that I said this."
“Ignorance is not a crime. The people do not know Jiujun’s identity or what she did.
As for the evil deeds of the Xiyue royal family, they will be punished. Didn’t the emperor say so? Even the way of heaven has intervened.”
"Yes, I will practice hard. When I encounter someone from the demon world one day, I will seek justice for my master."
Taoist Qingchen nodded with satisfaction: "Go, practice well, and improve your cultivation as soon as possible."
General Chu's Mansion.
At midnight that night, Xiao Wang suddenly pricked up his ears.
After looking at the roof, he quickly lay down.
Under a golden light, Tiandao appeared in the house.
He glanced at the little stars on Xiao Wang and Nangong Jiu and said, "You two did a good job."
