If everyone dies, what's the point of ruling?
If it's really as she thinks, and the person who raises the Demon Gu King can't completely control it, then all that's left is for the Demon Gu King to kill at will, and it's not surprising that so many people die in the Nine Provinces.
Whether or not her guess was correct, Su Ruojin could not allow all of this to happen.
At the current rate, Bei Li doesn't even need to threaten Xiao Yue to give up Liuzhou; they can occupy Liuzhou on their own.
Once Bei Li takes over Liuzhou, they can produce even more explosives, making the situation even more serious.
Everyone fell silent, except for the sound of low sobs.
Everyone present knew how to choose between the safety of the people and their own safety, but none of them could overcome the mental hurdle.
Su Ruojin sighed inwardly. She understood what her elders were thinking, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Just as she was about to try to persuade her again, she saw Madam Su slam her hand on the table, stand up with red eyes, and shout, "Go! You must go!"
Everyone was startled.
Su Ruojin thought her mother was being sarcastic in her anger, and she had a headache. Just as she was about to speak up to persuade her again, Madam Su continued, "Xiaojin is right. Our Su family has fought on the battlefield for generations to protect our country. Now, not only is the Great Chu in danger, but even the Nine Provinces are in peril. The Su family cannot stand idly by."
"Xiao Jin, Mother agrees to let you go."
This turn of events left Su Ruojin momentarily stunned. Then, her expression relaxed. "Great! As long as Mother agrees, things will be much easier later."
But Madam Su changed the subject, "I'll go with you!"
Su Ruojin: ......
Consort Jiang, Old Madam Zhao, and Su Muyao were all taken aback.
"mother......"
"mother......"
Su Ruojin and Su Muyao spoke at the same time, trying to persuade Madam Su.
Madam Su raised her hand, signaling the two of them to keep quiet. "I know what you want to say, but don't try to persuade me. I once went to the battlefield with your father, so how can I back down now?"
Xiao Jin, you are six months pregnant and must rush to Xiaoyue for the sake of all living beings. How can your mother hide behind you?
This matter concerns the entire nation. As a daughter of the Su family, if you insist on going, I have no reason to stop you. But you shouldn't stop me either. I don't want to be just a woman hiding in the backyard; I also want to do my part.
Hearing her mother say this, Su Ruojin swallowed back all her words of advice.
She insisted on going, so what reason did she have to stop her mother?
Su Muyao's eyes reddened, and she said, "Then I want to go too!"
Since Mother said that the daughters of the Su family could also serve the people, how could she hide behind them?
"Mu Yao, you can't go." Su Ruojin refused Su Mu Yao outright.
Su Muyao thought her older sister was worried about her, so she quickly explained, "Big sister, I've already learned to ride a horse, I won't hold you back."
Since she fell off her horse last time, Su Muyao has not only not been afraid of riding, but has also faced the challenge head-on. Whenever she has time, she asks her brothers to teach her how to ride, and now she is quite good at riding.
Su Ruojin shook her head. "Mu Yao, it's not that I'm afraid you'll hold me back, but you really have more important things to do."
