Su Ruojin looked at Tao Zhengyu and said, "Young Master Tao, once you join the Dark Alliance, you will never be able to enter officialdom again."
Moreover, the Dark Alliance is loyal only to the Dark Alliance and must not become a tool of any power in the world, not even Yuan Hong!
It might even mean standing against the imperial power. Do you dare?
Tao Zhengyu was stunned for a moment upon hearing Su Ruojin's words.
He initially thought that since the new emperor of Xiaoyue was the princess's brother, he would have the Dark Alliance help the emperor do things in private. He never expected the princess to say such a thing.
"People in this world are destined to be unequal from the moment they are born. How can a beggar's child compare to a prince or grandson of a king?"
We cannot choose our birth, but we are all human beings and have the right to be treated fairly when we encounter problems, so that princes are subject to the same laws as commoners.
Although the Dark Alliance cannot help everyone in the world, it can strive to protect the weak and safeguard their interests, allowing them to breathe in this already difficult world. To achieve this, it must be independent of imperial power, so as not to be influenced by power or become a tool of power!
Otherwise, Young Master Tao, you can guarantee that you will not be tempted by power, but what about your successors? How can you guarantee that they will be the same as you?
Tao Zhengyu understood, his expression became even more serious, and his eyes were full of heartfelt respect.
At that moment, he truly understood why Su Ruojin was able to establish the Dark Alliance at such a young age. He respectfully clasped his hands and bowed to Su Ruojin, then stood up with three fingers of his right hand pointing to the sky.
"The Alliance Leader's righteousness surpasses that of many men in the world. I, Tao Zhengyu, hereby swear that I will abide by the Dark Alliance's principles and live up to the Alliance Leader's expectations!"
"Alright, since Young Master Tao has made his decision, I will send someone to find you. He will work with you to establish the Dark Alliance of Howling Moon, and you will be in full charge of it afterward. He will also be your contact person. If you encounter any problems during this process, you can tell me."
"yes!"
After Tao Zhengyu and Wu Ziyun left, Xiao Yanchu kept staring at Su Ruojin, making Su Ruojin think there was something dirty on her face.
"What are you looking at? Is my face dirty?" Su Ruojin raised her hand and touched her face.
"No, my Ah Jin is indeed the most precious treasure in the world. I want to thank God for letting me meet you."
In this world, everyone wants to attach themselves to the imperial power and seek power or money, but only his Ah Jin can speak words that are independent of the imperial power.
When Ajin said this to Tao Zhengyu, Xiao Yanchu felt that Ajin was radiating light, regardless of her appearance or figure, simply because she was Ajin.
She is so different; this is his Ah Jin.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Knock knock knock, Hu Qing gently knocked on the door and came in.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Young Master Tao has brought twenty boxes of gifts. What should we do with them?"
These were all gifts of gratitude from the Tao and Wu families to Su Ruojin.
"Ah Jin, it's your decision." Xiao Yanchu handed the decision-making power to Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin pondered for a moment, "Take a look and see what you have. If it's medicinal herbs, send them to Jishetang. If it's gold and silver jewelry, use it as the establishment fund for Xiaoyue Dark Alliance and Tianyi Pavilion. If it's cloth, send it to Jinghuanglu for Fifth Master. As for the rest, you can distribute them to the brothers below."
Hu Qing clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "On behalf of my brothers, I thank the Princess for her generous gift."
Aside from the items designated by the princess, the rest of the things Tao Zhengyu sent were all of high quality, including some excellent weapon guards, perfect for the brothers.
Just as Su Ruojin finished speaking, a rumble of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky.
Summer rains have arrived.
Raindrops pounded on the ground, splashing into tiny beads, carrying the fresh scent of earth and grass into the nose, which felt very pleasant.
It brought a touch of coolness to the increasingly hot weather.
Xiao Yanchu took the cloak that Yanluo handed him and draped it over Su Ruojin. "Ajin, things are almost settled on Yuan Hong's side. After he ascends the throne, let's go back to Da Chu."
Su Ruojin closed her eyes, gently inhaling the fresh scent of the rain, and after humming in agreement, added another sentence.
"I want to go to Jinghuanglu tomorrow to see how Master Wu is recovering."
