Sure enough, the group of muttering soldiers below had no idea that their emperor would suddenly arrive, especially in such a flamboyant flying manner, and were immediately taken aback.
Fortunately, thanks to years of experience on the battlefield, the panic lasted only a moment before they quickly and orderly dispersed. Although, there were still many comments like, "Don't you dare step on my shoes!", "Who took my shoes? Check them now!", and "Speechless, utterly speechless. If you're going to run, then run. Who's so wicked as to pull my belt?"
Shen Jiao: "..." Wow, what a group of vibrant, lively young people!
After everyone ran away as if facing a formidable enemy, they belatedly realized that this was the Heavenly Emperor, the Emperor of Great Yan. They all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Long live the Emperor!"
Shen Jiao: "..." Wow, what a group of well-trained, loud-voiced young people.
Often, a tyrant's behavior cannot be guessed using ordinary thinking. When she thought Ji Yan was having a brain spasm, he was inexplicably normal. When she thought Ji Yan was normal, he had been teetering on the edge of cerebral palsy for a long time.
So, she didn't know why Ji Yan had dragged her down. Did he want to see her argue with these lively and cheerful young people?
There were no maids fanning her or any sunshades below, so it was really sunny. Shen Jiao had no choice but to get closer and closer to the tyrant, wishing she could transform into a koala and cling to him.
She wasn't actually this pretentious before, but in the face of powerful capitalism, she has been severely corrupted by it.
...
On the high platform, Wang Fu, holding a bowl of freshly made fruit shaved ice, looked at Chen Bao and Zhou Hu in bewilderment.
Oh, and there's a really ugly dog too.
Before the competition officially begins, the highest leader is usually asked to say a few words of nonsense. So when Chen Bao came up to find Ji Yan, after he painstakingly climbed up, His Majesty left without even turning his head.
Zhou Hu was there to deliver the dog. Although Chen Bao repeatedly said that His Majesty would not only dislike such an ugly dog, but would also be very angry, Zhou Hu did not think so. His Majesty was so powerful, how could he be such a shallow person? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Wang Fu was also bewildered. Shen Jiao said she wanted shaved ice, and as soon as he brought it over, she disappeared. Looking around, a circle suddenly appeared in the previously airtight open space, as if a restriction had been placed on it, and no one dared to approach.
The three stood there for a while and finally understood what was happening below, but they still couldn't figure out what His Majesty meant.
Zhou Hu asked, "Eunuch Wang, you are close to His Majesty. Would His Majesty punish so many soldiers just to win a smile from his beloved? They are just rough men. They only said a few words. They won't bleed or get hurt. They really don't care. Can she please stop acting like this? Besides, if she were truly upright, no one would criticize her. His Majesty's actions will definitely demoralize the army."
Chen Bao disagreed, "Nonsense. Does being emotionally hurt mean you're not hurt? She's just a young girl, what's wrong with her being a little dramatic? Besides, small things reveal character. I think some of the people here are quite gossipy, and I think they should be punished to clean up the bad habits. However, it's clearly inappropriate to make Miss Shen take the blame."
Zhou Hu was furious. "What do you mean, Chen Bao? Even at a time like this, you're still defending that woman surnamed Chen. Don't forget, you have a family! She's making a mountain out of a molehill. I spit on her for being emotionally hurt. What about the fallen soldiers? And how are my soldiers corrupt?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, calm down." Zhou Hu had a quick temper and lost his mind when he was angry, so there was no point in saying anything. Chen Bao didn't want to argue either, so he could only ask Wang Fu, "What does Eunuch Wang think?"
Wang Fu, holding the shaved ice, said, "Then..."
Zhou Hu and Chen Bao held their breath.
"Then let's use our eyes to see."
Zhou Hu: "..."
Chen Bao: "..."
...
Over here, Shen Jiao was still waiting for the tyrant to spout his insane nonsense. After waiting for a while, he still hadn't said anything. Could it be that he flew too fast and hadn't thought of his words yet? Should she fly back and think about it again?
After a long while, Ji Yan still hadn't spoken. She couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere any longer. Everyone remained silent, and everyone felt that someone should break the deadlock.
Shen Jiao glanced up at Ji Yan, trying to gauge the tyrant's intentions. By sheer coincidence, their eyes met, and she was met with the tyrant's icy, cold eyes, which sent a chill down her spine.
Her heart skipped a beat. What happened now? What happened now? She felt like she hadn't done anything wrong, so why was she being upset again?
Ah right, so he's angry because he didn't do anything? Shen Jiao seemed to understand what the tyrant's expressionless, cool face was trying to convey. Did he send her down all the way just to let her hear how others were cursing her?
Shen Jiao internally cursed, "Are you sick? Ji Yan is better off staying single forever, or I curse you to be forced to kneel on a washboard by your wife every day!"
Huh? The hamster's fur is standing on end again!
Ji Yan, inappropriately, stroked the hamster's neck. The raging fire in her heart was suddenly extinguished by the eerie chill. She felt that if she delayed any longer, that large, elusive hand would snap her bones.
So, Shen Jiao, who had originally decided to huddle next to the tyrant to cool off, finally straightened her back, took two steps forward to guess the emperor's intentions which she could not possibly fathom, and cleared her throat, "Those who spoke ill of me just now, please step forward."
I suddenly got to experience what it's like to be a homeroom teacher and show off my authority.
In order to make a good impression on the other party, Shen Jiao tried her best to soften her tone and voice, and tried to be a delicate beauty who could be blown away by the wind. However, she accidentally lost control of her temper and looked just like a favored concubine who was looking for trouble because of the emperor's favor.
Shen Jiao: "..."
The soldiers had all stood up. Shen Jiao was tall, even taller than the average girl, so she could see the expressions of the people in front of her without looking up. Although they didn't say anything, she seemed to hear the clear and loud "femme fatale" again.
It's a misunderstanding, brothers! We're in the same boat.
If it were just Shen Jiao alone, even the weakest soldier would probably treat her like dirt. However, she was personally brought here by Ji Yan, who not only didn't want her to walk the road, but also wanted to support her. This level of pampering was utterly shameless and without any principles.
Moreover, although Ji Yan had not been in Langya Pass for long, his strength was evident to all. Firstly, he was subject to the checks and balances of imperial power, and secondly, he could suppress others with force. There was a rustling sound in the crowd, and then several people stepped forward.
Shen Jiao smiled. "Is it you?"
Several people shook their heads. "No, it's not us."
"..."
Shen Jiao looked at the dark mass of people, and the smile on her lips suddenly froze. Was it because she had been with the tyrant for too long that her character had become so bad? If things continued like this, would she really be able to be a human being when she was reincarnated in her next life?
She glanced at Ji Yan, who stood firmly beside her, and seeing that he showed no intention of speaking, the flame that had just been extinguished in her heart flared up again. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, then those who have insulted my brother, may insult me one more time."
