"Okay, is a thousand people enough?"
"Your Majesty, I thank you." Lin Wanqing gracefully knelt down and bowed.
A thousand people!
Lin Wanqing was somewhat excited.
After becoming a goddess, Wanyan Da only assigned her fifty guards. What could such a small number of people do? But with a thousand people under her control, she could accomplish a great deal.
After seeing Wanyan Da off, Lin Wanqing arrived at the Prince Qin's residence.
Wei Xuelin had already returned to the Great Chu Kingdom and went directly to the King Qin.
"Your Highness, may I borrow one of your men in the capital of Great Chu?"
The king looked at Lin Wanqing, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"I want..." Lin Wanqing whispered to Qin Wang.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wang narrowed his eyes and laughed, "This is a small matter, of course I can handle it."
Then Qin Wang embraced Lin Wanqing, causing her to gasp softly.
"The Queen deserves much credit for this smallpox scare, and I will have to rely on her for guidance in the future."
Lin Wanqing hurriedly got up from Prince Qin's embrace, a blush rising on her face. "Your Highness is too kind. I have matters to attend to in the palace, so I'll be leaving now."
For some reason, Lin Wanqing was somewhat wary of this Prince Qin, and dared not refer to herself as "this palace" in front of him.
Lin Wanqing didn't see it; as she walked out of the Prince Qin's study, Wei Yingshuang was watching everything intently from a short distance away.
Lin Wanqing did not return directly to the palace, but instead went to a courtyard in Jingqiang City.
Knocking on the gate and entering the courtyard, I saw a bald, thin man with a scarred face drying various herbs. The courtyard was also filled with various jars.
Upon seeing Lin Wanqing enter, the man stopped what he was doing, bowed to her, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Gao Hongyuan, when can your Demon Gu King be used?" Lin Wanqing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
That's right, this man is Gao Hongyuan, who fell off the cliff back then. A tree branch extending from the cliff saved his life when he fell.
Gao Hongyuan lost consciousness the moment he fell to the ground. When he woke up, he endured the pain all over his body and crawled all the way to the river next to the cliff, where he passed out completely.
When he woke up, he found that he had been carried by the river to the territory of Beili, where he was rescued by kind herdsmen.
His entire body, including his face, was scratched by tree branches, leaving horrific scars even after he recovered.
Seeing his current state and recalling the past, Gao Hongyuan felt a surge of anger.
He was on the verge of success, but ultimately failed because of Su Ruojin.
He wants revenge!
He's going to kill Su Ruojin!
Although Gao Hongyuan was furious, he was clear-headed. He knew that he could not kill the Regent's Consort of Great Chu by himself.
Forget about killing them, you can't even get close.
Su Ruojin also knows Gu magic, so Gao Hongyuan's chances of successfully harming her with Gu magic are slim.
So Gao Hongyuan headed towards Jingqiang, believing that with his Gu techniques, he could find someone willing to help him.
On the day Lin Wanqing was conferred the title of goddess, Gao Hongyuan also watched from the crowd.
He then went directly to the Northern Li Imperial Palace to request an audience with the Goddess as the successor of the Star Gu Pavilion.
The messenger had just finished his announcement when he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and then a scene that sent chills down Lin Wanqing's spine unfolded.
