Lin Jiuxi stood in the carriage and cried bitterly.

She had never regretted so much, ever.

They are the ones who refuse to surrender, and they are the ones who still guard the border for the tyrant.

But Lin Jiuxi felt the guilt in his heart, and the regret that almost tore him apart.

If she had not resorted to such despicable means as drugging, perhaps she could have achieved her wish by slowly planning, and so many innocent people would not have died.

Maybe some of them could not be called innocent, but now, their heroic act of dying still moved Lin Jiuxi.

The bandit driving the carriage felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene. He hesitated and said to Lin Jiuxi, "Boss, how about I snatch the antidote and give it to them? Then you can punish me and it won't be considered as our fault."

Until the sun set in the west, until the moon reached its zenith, until the dawn, Lin Jiuxi did not leave. She sat in the carriage and watched so many people die because of her wrong decisions.

"Auntie Linglong." Lin Jiuxi called out, but her tone lacked the usual sweet and coquettish tone and was instead a little more polite and distant.

Lin Jiuxi took the lead in applauding and said with a smile: "I wonder what this gentleman's name is? You care about the people so much, which is exactly what we think and what we think."

"Lord Lin, you think you are noble and look down on us. Have you ever thought that if it weren't for your stubbornness, how could so many people die? You always say you are loyal to the emperor and love the country, but in fact, if you are loyal to the emperor and love the country, why don't you open your eyes and look at the people under your rule? They live and work in peace and contentment now because you govern well! But look again, what are you doing now?" Those who can become high officials are not simple people. They accepted to surrender to Lin Jiuxi, which was just a choice. Maybe he still felt a little guilty, but he couldn't restrain his temper after being scolded by Lin Mo.

"I just think that war is too cruel. All this shouldn't have happened." Lin Jiuxi sniffed and said firmly with tears in her eyes, "But it doesn't matter. I will definitely make the entire Nanzhao Kingdom peaceful, and this kind of thing will never happen again."

Moreover, Lin Jiuxi had a dark history of poisoning and harming thousands of guards. Everyone was afraid of him now and no one dared to resist too much.

Clap, clap, clap.

Lin Jiuxi took over the City Lord's Mansion with his men. It was not that there was resistance, but they were under the pressure of absolute military power.

But Linglong is right, it's a pity when someone dies.

There will never be anything like this again.

Lin Jiuxi didn't say anything about this.

Lin Mo was unwilling to agree to this, and because of the blood feud between these thousands of people, he looked down on Lin Jiuxi even more, and scolded his former colleagues: "You have become spineless thieves. I don't care whether you cherish your lives or look forward to high positions and generous salaries. These have nothing to do with me. But you expect me to do the same thing as you, which is too ridiculous!"

Only two people took daggers to kill Lin Jiuxi, but they were subdued by Linglong. The rest of the people with bad tempers resigned from their posts and left. As for the remaining fence-sitters, they stayed.

The amount of antidote is not less.

"Of course. I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion. Aunt Linglong, do you want to go with me?" Lin Jiuxi was dressed in formal attire, except for the dark circles under his eyes, which were obviously from staying up late, but there was no sign of yesterday's collapse on his face.

"What a pity! Azure Dragon and White Tiger are both good fighters, but they just didn't meet a good master." Linglong shook her head, seeming to feel sorry for them.

"There is no good candidate for the time being. We'll have to wait a few days before deciding." Lin Jiuxi still answered in a serious tone, but the previous closeness between the two of them disappeared.

"I think what Lord Sun said is very good. We should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and we should also know what we are doing, instead of foolishly listening to others. This country belongs to the emperor, but who is the emperor?"

In the carriage, Linglong suggested to her: "I think you should either recruit a few more guards, or practice more. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous if you encounter things like the last few days again."

This is a punishment, a punishment for herself.

"But then you, then please don't cry. If you cry, I don't know what to do." The bandit scratched his head and said in embarrassment.

Lin Jiuxi's eyes were blurred with tears, and she couldn't see everything clearly. She choked and shook her head: "No, I am willing to respect their choice."

In order to make themselves look better, they also took the initiative to persuade Lin Mo not to make meaningless resistance.

Linglong thought about the reward from her subordinates and smiled: "Of course."

Early the next morning, Lin Jiuxi changed into new clothes and as soon as he went out, he saw Linglong looking at the neatly arranged antidotes.

"What did I do? I just didn't dare to go along with you!" Lin Mo said angrily.

"No, it's you who are no longer willing to care about your people. Have you ever thought about it? Without the guards, how will the wealthy people of Qinzhou protect themselves? If you want to save face and be remembered in history, you should just hold on to the end. But have you ever thought about how these people will survive? Of course, you don't even care about the lives of the guards, so how can you care about the lives of these civilians?" This person spoke passionately and incisively, leaving Lin Mo speechless.

Linglong didn't seem to notice anything. "It seems like I really kept my promise yesterday."

Judging from their level of loyalty, even if Lin Mo agreed to submit to him, they would probably not be his guards.

No one will ever tell them again that it is wrong for them to protect the country or that the people they are protecting are wrong.

"The king is naturally our Majesty!" Lin Mo knew that others didn't dare to say it, so he spoke first.

"Hahaha." Lin Jiuxi laughed loudly towards the sky, but there was not much smile in his smile. It was obviously a cold mockery.

"I have also heard that Lord Lin is well-read. Is he used to repeating what others have said? Your Majesty is the king now, but what about the late emperor? Was he a king?" Lin Jiuxi said loudly and impudently, "What about His Majesty Taizu? Was he a king?"

Lin Mo said with disgust: "Of course."

"Yes, they are all Your Majesty, they are all kings. There are even kings from the previous dynasty, or kings from the future." Lin Jiuxi then said: "Don't you understand? Being a king is not a person, but an identity. This identity makes the world rich and the people of the world at peace."
