Lord Qi said to the leader, "Let's not talk about whether she is the Imperial Princess or not. As you said, she can summon giant pythons and snakes. She is not someone that ordinary people like us can afford to offend."
The leader was horrified when he heard this. He knew he had been rude and was afraid of offending Yu Jinshu. He quickly bowed to Yu Jinshu and said, "Princess Rouhua, I was rude just now. Please don't blame me!"
At this time, he was also in a dilemma.
He was a military household and had a wife and children at home, so he could not be a deserter.
Now, half of the 120,000-strong army has been killed by snakes. Those who are still alive must give an explanation to these tens of thousands of dead soldiers, otherwise they will die when they return and their wives and children will be implicated.
A concubine named Kang Xiujin pointed at them and shouted, "Princess, you must not let them go. They killed your father and your mother, and they also bullied us. Princess, quickly summon the Snake King and kill them all."
The leader was so frightened when he heard this that he knelt down in haste, and the dozen or so soldiers behind him were also frightened to death.
"Princess, please spare us! Princess, please spare us! I have parents and children to support. I came to Nangan Kingdom only to follow orders. I hope that Princess can spare our lives."
These dozen people had finally escaped from Shekou and didn't want to lead the way, but the officers above them suppressed them and ordered them to bring people from the Inspection Office here to check the situation.
Yu Jinshu looked at the leader. He looked unfamiliar. She had never seen him bully her in front of her, so she let it go.
But she could tell at a glance that the people behind the leader had bullied or even killed palace maids and concubines.
"It's not impossible for me to let you go. But..."
She pointed at those people and said, "He, he, and he, he... I saw them bullying and killing women from my Nangan Kingdom. If you kill them all, I will let you go." She glanced at the palace maids and concubines.
After hearing this, the leader stood up, turned around and drew his sword.
The four men were so frightened that they turned around and tried to flee, but the leader was very skilled with a knife and he caught up with them in just a few steps before hacking them to death.
The leader retracted his knife, turned back to Yu Jinshu, and knelt down again: "Princess, if you want to leave, I can escort you."
He wished that this witch would leave quickly.
I thought the witch had left with the palace maids, but I didn't expect that they were still guarding here after I ran over. It was really strange.
Yu Jinshu played with a piece of grass she had pulled up from the ground and said indifferently, "I don't want to leave."
The leader looked at Lord Qi from the Inspection Office.
Lord Qi bowed to Yu Jinshu and asked, "Where does the princess want to go?"
Yu Jinshu said, "I have heard that the Crown Prince of Beiyue Kingdom, Feng Yu, is handsome and charming. I would like to meet him. Just take me to his house."
Lord Qi had never heard of Prince Feng Yu in this desolate place, so he looked at the leader.
The leader's eyes widened: "Princess Emperor, are you interested in Prince Feng Yu?"
Yu Jinshu nodded and said with a charming expression, "This princess has taken a fancy to him and wants him to be her man."
The leader always felt something was wrong.
Doesn't Princess Rouhua want to return to Nangan Kingdom? She clearly has the opportunity to go back, but she still wants to go to Beiyue Kingdom to find that stupid prince Feng Yu.
Although Feng Yu was handsome and suave, he was a playboy and spent all his time in brothels instead of doing his job.
It's really not a good match!
"What? You don't want to? If you don't want to, you can forget about living." Yu Jinshu's tone was very light, but the words he said were enough to scare someone to death.
The leader nodded quickly: "Yes, I am willing. I will arrange for the princess to come to the capital right away."
Accompanying the witch into the capital was a terrifying thing for the tens of thousands of remaining soldiers. They were afraid that the witch would summon the snake king to bite them to death.
Lord Qi bowed and asked, "Princess Di, they must go together."
The maids and concubines said in unison: "Let's go, let's follow the princess."
Lord Qi is here to accompany Yu Jinshu.
The leader took the remaining few people on horseback to report the matter to his superior, the general flag.
When the general heard the news, he was shocked and frightened, but he was helpless.
He arranged hundreds of people to escort Princess Rouhua to the capital.
When the leader came again, he brought with him more than a dozen carriages and several carts of supplies.
Yu Jinshu got on the carriage with the concubines and palace maids.
There were also some women's clothes in the carriage.
The leader said to Yu Jinshu respectfully, "Princess, there are no good clothes to buy in this small place. Please don't blame me. Once we enter the city, we will find a clothing store to buy you some nice clothes."
Yu Jinshu looked at these clothes. Some of them were silk, but there were only three sets. The others were cotton or linen.
"As long as you have something to wear, it's fine. Let's get going."
The curtains of the carriage were tightly closed, and the palace maids were changing into clean clothes in the carriage.
The soldiers could only imagine the scene inside, but they didn't even dare to look at it, for fear that the enchantress Rouhua Diji had several eyes and would attract the Snake King to appear.
When the convoy set off, the more than 60,000 surviving soldiers chose to return, trying to stay away from Princess Rouhua to avoid any accidents.
The surviving supreme commander, Zongqi, rode into the capital with a few men on horseback. He wanted to report the matter of Princess Rouhua to the emperor.
In the imperial city of Beiyue Kingdom, Emperor Feng Yishan couldn't believe it when he heard that Princess Rouhua summoned the Snake King to kill General Luo and his 60,000-man army.
Later, the emperor sent several trusted confidants on horseback to the scene to investigate. They witnessed with their own eyes the corpses of tens of thousands of Beiyue soldiers. They also saw the headless body of General Luo and verified that all 60,000 corpses were killed by snakes. Only then did they have to believe it.
In the court.
A minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must not allow this enchantress, Princess Rouhua, to enter the capital. Otherwise, she will summon the Snake King in the capital, and Your Majesty will be in danger."
Another minister said, "Your Majesty, since Princess Rouhua has set her sights on Crown Prince Feng Yu, it would be better to give in to her wishes. Who knows, she might even become the most powerful killer of our Beiyue Kingdom."
A minister echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty. A woman like Princess Rouhua should either be killed or become a member of our Beiyue Kingdom."
The minister said earlier, "Our Beiyue Kingdom killed her father and mother, so how can she become a member of our Beiyue Kingdom? I'm afraid she has ulterior motives and wants to sneak into the imperial city to commit treason."
Another minister spoke up, "I think Princess Rouhua could be persuaded to submit to our Beiyue Kingdom. Your Majesty and the others, think about this: if she has the ability to summon the Snake King, why didn't she do so in the Nangan Kingdom's imperial city? If she had summoned the Snake King in Nangan Kingdom's imperial city, her father and mother would not have died, and she wouldn't have been abducted into our Beiyue Kingdom."
After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent for a moment, as if everyone was considering the matter.
