[Weren't the Liang Kingdom members supposed to be traveling together? Why is it that only Ah Feng came by himself this time? And he's acting crazy, talking about a saintess.]
Chuanwen was a bit curious, so he carefully read through the plot. [It turns out that although the small Liang Kingdom is small, it's quite fragmented in terms of power. The two main factions are one represented by the ruler and the other by the religious saintess. There are also various other factions representing different religious beliefs. Furthermore, each faction has both pro-Jin and anti-Jin voices. In short, the power dynamics in this small Liang Kingdom are a complete mess. But none of that matters...]
The emperor was overjoyed to hear this. What mattered was that this news was extremely important! He wasn't afraid of chaos in Xiao Liang Kingdom; he was afraid that Xiao Liang Kingdom wasn't chaotic enough. Only in chaos could one fish in troubled waters. If handled carefully, not only could he establish friendly relations with Xiao Liang Kingdom and make it a stopover for the Great Jin's exploration of the southern mountains, but he might even be able to turn Xiao Liang Kingdom into a city of the Great Jin!
[The crucial point is that this Ah Feng is a spy planted by religious forces within the monarch's power! Ah Feng himself is a staunch religious believer, and his purpose in accompanying the envoy to the Great Jin Dynasty is to find the reincarnation of their holy maiden!]
He remembered that the dog hole was discovered because of the saintess's miracle, so he thought he might be able to find some clues about her. Therefore, he sneaked out while the old man sent by the king was asleep, and of course, stole something along the way...
Looking at the old man who was still trying his best to defend Ah Feng, the officials' expressions were a bit complicated, and even a little sympathetic. Brother, you're even more clueless than the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial!
Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial: ...It sounds like someone is cursing me!
However, the emperor's lips curled up. It was good that everyone in Xiaoliang was simple-minded. He wished that the people of Xiaoliang were simple-minded, so that it would be easier to turn Xiaoliang into one of his cities.
At this moment, Chuanwen looked at Hu Nuan'er, somewhat incredulous. "This thing is the reincarnation of their Holy Maiden? It wasn't mentioned in the original story, and the Little Liang Kingdom barely appeared a few times in the original story, let alone having any Holy Maiden. I don't know why they came to the Great Jin to find their Holy Maiden?"
Hu Nuan'er was debating with the old man about whose responsibility it was, unaware that everyone was looking in the direction Chuan Wen was looking.
The emperor and his entourage carefully examined Hu Nuan'er. She wasn't ugly, but she wasn't particularly beautiful either. Previously, with the air of a noble lady, she could be considered above average. However, just now, Hu Nuan'er was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, and she looked disheveled. It was hard for them to associate her with the high-class saintess she was supposed to be.
I can't help but wonder, how did Ah Feng come to believe that Hu Nuan'er was the saintess they were looking for?
At this point, the message also turned to the page about why the people of Xiaoliang Kingdom came to Dajin to find their Holy Maiden: "The Holy Maiden of Xiaoliang Kingdom cannot have emotions or desires, therefore, she is forbidden from falling in love!"
Seeing this post suddenly reminded me of Princess Chaoyang. [That Chaoyang girl seems to be really into the guard who saved her before. I think that wretched thing would be perfect as a saintess; it would be a good way to cure her love-struck brain. If she dares to look at any man, she'd get a good beating, hahaha. I just wonder if the Emperor would be willing to do that?]
Several officials glanced furtively at the emperor, and sure enough, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. This Princess Chaoyang was really a handful. First Zhou Yong, then Zhang Qing, and now a guard. I wonder if Princess Chaoyang will be able to get away with this?
But then again, what exactly happened to that saintess?
Chuanwen chuckled inwardly, "What decent person doesn't fall in love? This saintess took a fancy to a pretty boy and pulled off a clever escape with her followers. She just wanted to die quickly, but before she did, the group of followers kept grabbing her, asking about the next saintess. If she hadn't quickly pointed them in the right direction, they would have shaken her to death! Hahaha!"
Everyone:......
So, are the monks in that temple outside the city proper or not?
The group quickly shook off their wandering thoughts. So, the direction the saintess casually pointed was their Great Jin?
Just as everyone was marveling at how unreliable the Holy Maiden of Little Liang Kingdom was, Ah Feng grabbed the old man who was spitting everywhere and pointed at Hu Nuan'er, saying that she was their Holy Maiden because he had seen golden light on her head!
If Ah Feng were to speak to the old man in private, he would definitely ignore it or even kill the woman, because as a member of the monarch's faction, he would not want the religious side to find a saintess.
But this was the imperial palace of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was in front of everyone. How could he ignore it? He couldn't help but feel disappointed in Ah Feng, that fool.
Golden light?
The emperor and his entourage looked at Hu Nuan'er strangely. Hu Nuan'er was also puzzled. Although this person had been calling her "Holy Maiden" these past two days, she hadn't taken it seriously. But when did she get golden light above her head?
[Golden light? Ultraman?]
Chuanwen was puzzled, and the Emperor and his group, who did not know why Ultraman was involved, were even more confused.
However, after Ah Feng explained, they understood somewhat.
"After I accidentally fell into this dry well that night, this kind girl found me the next day and even kindly threw me some food..."
【Well......】
The messenger remained silent. [Because she had sneaked into the palace, she didn't dare shout for help after falling into the well. She only whispered for help, her voice carrying softly to the house next door. This terrified Consort Li, who lived there. She thought another vengeful spirit was coming to claim her life, and she almost made sparks fly from striking the wooden fish...]
[Moreover, it was actually because Hu Nuan'er disliked the cornbread and, seeing a fool fall into a well, decided to kick him while he was down, so she smashed the cornbread down on him...]
