Scary little princess
Their faces were filled with anger and hatred as they stared at her, like wild wolves in the jungle baring their fangs, ready to pounce and tear her to pieces at any moment!
The round fan was swaying gently.
Be neither hurried nor slow.
Jiang Jingyuan's expression remained indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Just as one figure after another stood up angrily and opened their mouths to accuse and question, Jiang Jingyuan spoke.
"Send the Marquis of Pingjiang over."
Her voice was calm and unperturbed.
The angry questions that everyone was about to utter were instantly stuck in their throats.
Their faces turned extremely red, turning purple, and then gradually turned into ashen blue.
"Why do we have to urge the Marquis to come back?!"
One person angrily shouted, "Your Highness Changsheng, do you know how many of our northern soldiers never return home every year? You've held back our northern resources for a while, and countless people have died on the battlefield because of it—"
"You are making things difficult for me, and I dare not complain, but you must not make things difficult for my soldiers in the northern border!!"
He shouted angrily:
"Your Highness Changsheng is so careless about human life. Aren't you afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will hold you accountable after he finds out? Or does His Highness the Crown Prince actually not care about us in the Northern Territory at all..."
"brush--"
A cluster of orange flames jumped up from the fire starter.
Everyone's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.
The girl put down her round fan, took out a stack of yellow and black talismans from the water mirror beside her with one hand, and held a fire starter close to a corner of the talisman with the other hand.
Most of the talisman was instantly burned in the fire.
“!!!”
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot.
"Is it 'my soldiers from the northern border', or my soldiers from the Yuan Kingdom?" The girl tilted her head, looked at them calmly, and asked.
After saying that, she didn't care to respond and casually raised her left hand.
The burnt black debris rustled and fell to the ground, turning into a fine, pale white.
She slowly took out two stacks of yellow and black talismans and brought the fire starter in her right hand closer.
"stop!!!"
Several people rushed over screaming.
"call--"
The invisible barrier lit up and stood firmly in front of them.
One person's face turned ashen, he was shaking with anger, and roared:
"Two countries are at war, resources are scarce, and yet Your Highness Changsheng is living extravagantly, destroying the resources of our northern border and sending our soldiers to their deaths?!!"
Jiang Jingyuan glanced at him indifferently, without stopping his hands, and asked again:
"Is it 'the soldiers of our northern border', or the soldiers of our Yuan Kingdom?"
Cruelty, brutality, a great misfortune for the Yuan Kingdom... Everyone gritted their teeth, their eyes bloodshot, their faces full of resentment, and did not answer.
Why are the people in power in Yuan Kingdom so cruel and ruthless, not even comparable to the morning star in their northern border!
They, the Morning Star of the North, were actually being oppressed and oppressed by such evil people... It was their incompetence.
Everyone suddenly felt angry and sad.
Jiang Jingyuan was not in a hurry either.
This time, she took out three stacks of talismans and approached the flickering flames. She asked again, "Is it 'my soldiers from the northern border', or my soldiers from the Yuan Kingdom?"
Everyone gritted their teeth and remained silent.
"Is it 'the soldiers of our northern border', or the soldiers of our Yuan Kingdom?"
"brush--"
"Is it 'the soldiers of our northern border', or the soldiers of our Yuan Kingdom?"
"brush--"
"Is it 'the soldiers of our northern border', or the soldiers of our Yuan Kingdom?"
"brush--"
…
“Ahhhh—”
In the crowd, several people watched this scene and suddenly screamed, holding their heads and falling to the ground, crying and wailing.
Jiang Jingyuan glanced at them nonchalantly, then calmly looked at the people in front of him and slowly opened his mouth.
"They are soldiers from my Yuan Nation, and also soldiers from my Northern Territory—!!"
One person finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed miserably, "Stop burning, stop burning!!"
Jiang Jingyuan ignored him.
She took out another stack of talismans and burned them again. Staring at the people in front of her, she asked, "Are they 'soldiers from the northern border' or soldiers from the Yuan Kingdom?"
“Ah! Ah—ah!”
One after another, people screamed.
Everyone fell to the ground, frantically scratching their hair and scalp in agony, crying and answering:
"They are the soldiers of my Yuan country, they are the soldiers of my Yuan country!!!"
Jiang Jingyuan raised his hand, and the burnt black debris instantly flew all over the sky.
The orange flame on the fire starter flickered slightly.
She paused.
As soon as the crying stopped, they opened their mouths to say something else.
The girl in front suddenly took out a stack of talismans and brought them close to the flame to burn.
“Ahhhhhh—”
"ah!!"
Everyone suddenly let out even more miserable screams. Finally, a few people couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward madly, slamming into the invisible barrier again and again.
"Your Highness Changsheng!"
Meng Qiyun finally couldn't bear it anymore, rushed out, knelt in front of the barrier, and shouted anxiously:
"Your Highness Changsheng, please give the order! Your Highness Changsheng, please give the order!!!"
He kowtowed repeatedly, his whole body trembling, and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Highness Changsheng, please give the order that everyone in the North, no, no, everyone in the Yuan Kingdom, will always be loyal to Your Highness the Crown Prince and always obey your orders!"
He fell to the ground, sobbing and begging:
"Your Highness Changsheng, calm down."
Behind him, everyone in the hall knelt down and cried, "Your Highness Changsheng, please give the order!"
Jiang Jingyuan looked at them indifferently and said slowly: "The resources of my Yuan Kingdom will only be given to my Yuan Kingdom soldiers."
The voice was calm, without any ups and downs.
"Yes! Yes!" Everyone kowtowed. "We, the soldiers of Yuan Nation, will always be loyal to our king and serve our country!"
Suddenly, Jiang Jingyuan took out another stack of talismans.
Everyone: “!!!”
"Your Highness Changsheng..." Everyone cried and begged.
However, this time, Jiang Jingyuan did not rush to burn it. He looked at them and said calmly: "Let Pingjiang Hou come over."
"But, but the Marquis is here..." someone said tremblingly.
The next moment!
The orange flames suddenly ignited a stack of talismans!
Jiang Jingyuan casually placed the stack of talismans on the table next to him, picked them up two or three at a time, and brought them close to the fire starter.
"These resources are for the Yuan Kingdom soldiers stationed in the northern border." She looked at them and said, "But how can you prove your innocence by assassinating the royal family?"
She raised her head, and even though she looked indifferent, she couldn't hide her casual and arrogant attitude. She said, "Send the Marquis of Pingjiang over."
She said slowly:
"When the Marquis of Pingjiang doesn't come, I'll burn a little of his stuff—the talismans, the elixirs, and the magical instruments. Rather than letting them fall into the hands of spies and traitors, I'd rather burn them all to my heart's content."
"Yes! Yes!" Meng Qiyun cried, "I will go and inform the Marquis right away!" He suddenly stood up and ran out.
Half of the people couldn't control themselves and bent over, retching, stumbling and rushing out after him.
Half of the people knelt on the ground, staggering, with their eyes raised. Their trembling pupils sometimes blurred, and sometimes stared intently at the talisman in the hand of the girl in front of them.
In a low cry.
Jiang Jingyuan did what he said and burned one talisman after another slowly and steadily.
"What a cruel person..."
In his mind, Xu Qinglin said, "You must remember to suppress them at all times in the future, otherwise people like them will become active again if you are not careful. Now they are afraid, but in the future when they forget about it, they will only remember shame and hatred -"
"They'll kill you if they get the chance."
Jiang Jingyuan said "hmm".
She knows.
If she doesn't, they will.
Today, one of them must go crazy.
They wanted to intimidate her first, but she had a bad temper, so she just took ruthless action to get rid of it once and for all.
——If she had been a little weaker, had wanted to be more peaceful, and had continued to stay in the North, she would have been the one kneeling down and crying madly for mercy.
The people in the north are wolves. They live far away from the capital and have their own beliefs.
If you want to coexist with them and want to drive them, the only way is to defeat them and implant fear deep into their souls.
This is a kind of kindness.
"That's crazy..."
Xu Qinglin sighed.
In the past, Jiang Jingyuan was arbitrary and dictatorial, and no matter how cold and cruel she was, she was just a bystander. She knew she could do it, but she didn't expect her to be so good!
Is this talent...Xu Qinglin huddled in the killing realm of the magic weapon containing the silver sachet, trembling. In comparison, Jiang Jingyuan was too gentle to her before.
Jiang Jingyuan curled his lips.
It's no big deal, she just knows how to learn.
Only after seeing it, I know what to do. It's just a little bit of fur, but I can be so scared...
It’s less than the time of an incense stick.
Marquis Pingjiang strode into the hall, followed by several people with pale faces and dazed expressions.
Marquis Pingjiang glanced at the people in the hall, his face solemn, and he knelt down steadily.
The few people at the back had unsteady steps as if they were floating, and with a "thump", they almost fell to their knees on the ground.
"Your Highness Changsheng, please calm down." Pingjiang Hou lowered his head, his voice solemn and steady. "The matter in the northern border was caused by my lack of discipline. I am willing to accept the punishment. Please don't let your anger get to your head."
Everyone in the hall also lowered their heads and said tremblingly, "This humble official is willing to accept the punishment. Please calm down, Your Highness Changsheng."
At the main seat, Jiang Jingyuan shook off the ashes in his hand and collected the talisman that had not yet been burned.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully, then lowered her eyes indifferently without saying a word.
In front of her, everyone was lying on the ground, gritting their teeth and trying hard not to make a sound. No one dared to urge her.
In the lobby, suffocation was spreading.
In the silence, only the handkerchief brushed against the fingertips, making a slight sound.
suddenly.
The sound of fabric rubbing stopped, and the clear sound rang out in the silence—
"To commit treason and assassinate the royal family, is this lax governance?"
The voice was calm, neither fast nor slow, without any terrifying sense of oppression, but rather a light and airy feeling.
But the words in it hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer!
The girl casually picked up the exquisite round fan and slowly stood up, her delicate red dress swaying as she walked.
She waved her hand, and the invisible barrier in front of her shattered and disappeared in an instant.
The girl walked past everyone with an indifferent expression and left the lobby.
"Marquis Pingjiang, is this a sign of lax governance?"
Just a few words.
The clear and piercing sound dissipated with the wind almost the moment it landed on the ground.
——That is treason.
Everyone in the hall suddenly remembered what she had not said.
Everyone was so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
Their pupils trembled violently, and their stiff necks lifted up intermittently, looking at the Marquis of Pingjiang who was kneeling steadily in front of them.
Meng Qiyun's face turned pale, his lips moved as he looked at the motionless figure, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare.
Frost floats, frost floats...
"shut up!"
Marquis Pingjiang suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily, then stood up and strode out.
Everyone's bodies trembled suddenly.
Only then did they realize that they had been so frightened that they had murmured unconsciously.
Suddenly, Meng Qiyun also stood up and said, "Don't mention Shuang Fu again!"
Then he ran out of the lobby in a hurry without looking back.
