Li Dan and Daying have been at odds for decades and have fought several wars. Xiao Changqi's fearsome reputation is known to almost everyone in Li Dan and Daying, but not everyone has actually seen this rumored cruel and tyrannical Prince Gan.
Therefore, when the Li Dan people saw that the prince who had just interrogated them had returned with a handsome man, they didn't think much of it and assumed that he was just another official from Japan.
It wasn't until the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review respectfully and cautiously addressed the other party as "Your Highness."
The languages of Lidan and Daying are not mutually intelligible, but since these people are coming to Daying to cause trouble, they naturally have to learn the Daying language, so they can understand Daying.
Upon hearing the name of the Gan King, several Li Dan people felt a sense of fear and stared warily at Xiao Changqi.
But Gan Wang didn't even glance at them, only concerned about whether the little bird on his shoulder would be frightened by what he was seeing.
As it turns out, Yuan Dan wasn't afraid at all. If she were, she wouldn't have dared to mess with the tyrant after getting to know Xiao Changqi.
"Chirp chirp." The little bird even hopped into Xiao Changqi's hand, took her little package from his waist, pecked out a bamboo fruit from inside, and asked Xiao Changqi to help her peel it open.
So the others watched as the king, expressionless, peeled bamboo seeds for a little bird and even fed it to the bird himself.
Everyone: "..."
The rumors circulating among the people are true.
Gan Wang was truly bewitched by a little bird.
The Li Dan people had never heard of the legend that the Gan King favored a single bird. Seeing the legendary war god of the Great Sea personally feeding a small bird, they thought that the Gan King was not as terrible as the rumors suggested, and gradually relaxed their vigilance.
But when they still refused to say anything, just like they had a few days before, Gan Wang directly ordered: "Kill them, starting with the one on the left."
Without the need for the officials from the Dali Temple to intervene, the guards accompanying Xiao Changqi swiftly raised their knives and slit the throat of the first person on the left.
Yuandan paused in his bamboo-pecking motion: "..."
Xiao Changqi noticed it and looked at the little pink bird with deep eyes.
"Chirp." The little bird, seemingly oblivious to everything, continued eating the bamboo seeds.
Xiao Changqi stroked the warm feathers on its back, his thin lips pressed together coldly, revealing a hint of ferocity.
This appearance does indeed somewhat resemble the rumored fierce and tyrannical Prince Gan.
The first Li Dan man died relatively cleanly, but the second man's death was more gruesome; he died bleeding from all seven orifices.
When she saw the first person killed on New Year's Day, she was somewhat moved, but when she witnessed the second person being killed, her heart was as calm as still water.
New Year:"??"
Could it be that after following Xiao Changqi for a while, she has also become like him, regarding human life as worthless?
No, no, no, how could that be?
She's still the same kind and adorable girl she always was, okay?
However, after witnessing firsthand the killing of the last person before these Li Dan people confessed to being killed, Yuan Dan's usually calm demeanor began to waver.
Indeed, one becomes like the company one keeps.
"Chirp chirp." New Year's Day sighed quietly.
She is not the same person she used to be.
It's Xiao Yuanyuan, not New Year's Day.
The remaining Li Dan people had already spoken, so Xiao Changqi no longer needed to do anything else. He then left Dali Temple with Yuan Dan.
Having witnessed the power of Prince Gan today, the officials of the Dali Temple were somewhat afraid of him, and when they came out to see him off, they all adopted a respectful and timid demeanor.
The fear is that this ruthless war god might massacre the Dali Temple if he's displeased.
Seeing how cautious they were, Yuan Dan couldn't help but look up at Xiao Changqi and chirp.
Your Highness, it seems you're truly destined to be a tyrant.
