Lu Ren narrowed his eyes and said, "The palace has a strong smell of tung oil. First, to cover up the stench of the japanese jellyfish, and second, to make it easier to ignite, you placed a large amount of japanese jellyfish in the palace."
Kelly didn't say anything, just giggled while spitting blood.
"You know the consequences of lighting a large amount of ga-pian. If it is lit in advance and spreads out, this general will see the state of the people in the royal court and will definitely become suspicious and will not rush in. So you choose to wait until I am about to arrive at the palace before lighting it in advance."
Everyone's expression changed drastically when they heard Lu Ren's words.
Burning the kapa with tung oil? Or in the royal court?
Doesn't that mean that everyone in the royal court will be forced to take gapain? !
If there are enough slices of ganoderma and enough time, and the smell spreads everywhere, the consequences are unimaginable.
Fortunately, General Lu reacted quickly and retreated quickly!
“Hahahahahahahaha…” Kelly’s eyes were already a little out of focus. “So what? What a pity, we failed at the last hurdle…”
Lu Ren said coldly: "If you act this way, and the infection spreads to the whole city, are you really going to ignore the people of Xili City?"
Unexpectedly, these words aroused the last bit of Kelly's spirit, and he said with a weak breath:
"What... the people of Xili? The royal family of Xili died, and after being occupied by the Sheng Dynasty, they became the people of the Sheng Dynasty. What do they have to do with me and Xili? It is an honor and a blessing for them to be buried with Xili. It is what they long for!"
He chuckled again as he spoke, and tried to stand up, but he was almost exhausted. He lay on the ground, gritting his teeth and crawling back: "I...will die in Xili City..."
Lu Ren's eyes were full of disgust. He took the bow from the deputy general and shot an arrow to end Kelly's life completely.
I just pulled him out to confirm my guess. Now that I have the answer, there is no need to keep him.
The deputy general cursed, "What a lunatic! If it weren't for your quick reaction, General, we would be finished!"
"As long as the army is safe."
The deputy general asked: "General, what about Xili City..."
Lu Ren said: "It won't be long before this place becomes a ghost town."
At this moment, he thought of Wen Yu's serious attitude in the hall that day, and said, "The two hundred soldiers who followed me into the royal court should take off their coats on the spot, and the army should retreat twenty miles from Xili City."
"yes!"
Orders must be carried out.
Lu Ren lowered his eyes, and after a moment he took out the brocade bag from his arms, rubbed it with his fingertips, gently placed it on his lips and kissed it, muttering, "Princess..."
The deputy general at the side: ...
He still couldn't stand the general's tender look. Help!
Lu Ren quickly drafted a secret memorial regarding the affairs of Xili City and sent it to Shengjing City at full speed.
After more than a dozen horses died of running, the emperor received the secret memorial in the evening of the next day, and then urgently summoned Lin Yuzhi and several important ministers into the palace.
"What does Prime Minister Lin think?"
Lin Yuzhi said: "Kelly's actions this time are detrimental to human ethics, but they are beneficial to Dasheng. Your Majesty can annex Xili without any worries and add another piece to Dasheng's territory."
"I second the motion."
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "The hair, skin, language and habits of the Xili people are very different from those of Dasheng. Wouldn't it be extremely inappropriate to accept them as Dasheng's subjects?"
After all, it is impossible to really massacre all the people in Xili, and no emperor in any dynasty would do such a thing.
Lin Yuzhi said, "I have a plan. The Xili people will be included in the category of Dasheng citizens, but a new tribe name will be set up, called the Xili tribe. In order to prevent them from remembering their homeland, they can change their name to another one. Over time, they will become a separate tribe."
"I second the motion."
The emperor slammed his desk and stood up upon hearing this: "Great! What a good name for the clan!"
Then he suddenly changed the topic and said, "Then the other vassal states can also... Well, I'm just talking, just talking."
How could the ministers not understand the emperor's implication? It was just that Da Sheng was a great country and should not bully or invade other small countries.
Even if His Majesty has the intention, he can only suppress it, unless those small countries are seeking death like Xili.
At this time in the princess's mansion, Liu Chun said: "Princess, I heard that the progress in Xili is very smooth, and a secret letter entered the palace today."
Wen Yu yawned: "You know all this."
"Of course, I will always keep an eye on General Lu for the princess." Liu Chun said with a smile, "The emperor has also summoned Prime Minister Lin and several important ministers to the palace."
As if knowing what Wen Yu was thinking, Liu Chun added considerately: "Those guys are all middle-aged men with big beards."
Wen Yu didn’t want to ask this question: …
At this time, Yu Yi suddenly appeared beside the screen.
"Yu Yi greets the eldest princess."
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows: "You took the initiative again. It's true that a man who takes the initiative is like a man who cheats. Once there is a first time, there will be countless times."
Fish One: ...
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yu Yidao said: "The emperor has a message for the princess."
Wen Yu covered her ears when she heard this: "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen. What's wrong with my royal brother recently? He arranges things for me every day. Who can stand this?"
"First, he threw Lance to me and asked me to use the honey trap. A few days ago, he was lazy and asked me to review his memorials. Yesterday, he asked me to be the invigilator. What does he want me to do today?"
"I am the eldest princess, I am his dearest sister. If I continue like this, I will evolve into the 'Acquired Cattle and Horses Holy Body', but I just want to enjoy life! I don't want to be a cow or a horse!"
Fish One: ...
"Princess, His Majesty said..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen! As long as I don't listen, nothing will happen to me!"
When Yu saw this, he said quickly, "The emperor said, 'I am in a very good mood and invite my sister to go to Shengqing Pool to bathe together.'"
Wen Yu:……?
"No, that's it? Do you need to send out the Submerged Fish Guards to tell me? Can't you just find a palace maid to pass on the message? You made me think it was a big deal."
Yu Yidao said: "Your Majesty is in a good mood and wants to get the princess's answer as soon as possible. I am a quick runner."
At this point, Wen Yu suddenly reacted.
No, who wants to bathe with the emperor?
There is something wrong!!!
The corners of her mouth twitched. "Tell your brother that siblings shouldn't be intimate with each other. Ask him to find Concubine Li, Concubine Wu, Concubine Huang, and Concubine Chen from the harem. If four are not enough, call a few more."
Yu Yi frowned slightly: "There is no Concubine Huang in the emperor's harem."
Wen Yu: ...
“You know all this???”
