When Di Fan arrived at the pass, all he saw was a field of dead bodies...
Di Fan sighed lightly, without questioning what Xiao Longnu had done… He could be compassionate to all living beings due to his modern thinking, but he also knew that if Xiao Longnu wanted to become the empress in the future, she would need to be ruthless and use ruthless methods!
Kindness does not make a good army, or in other words, as an empress, the mercy should be placed on the poorest people at the bottom of society. She should even treat all the noble families and officials as enemies, only then can she be the most qualified emperor!
Well, just like... Zhu Yuanzhang!
Because the imperial power in ancient times actually stood on the side of the people, and the opponents were the gentry, officials, aristocratic families and other middle-level power holders.
The better the officials, aristocratic families, and local gentry live, the closer the dynasty is to its demise... This has been the case in China for five thousand years, without exception, and even in modern society, it is the same... Doesn't the successive sanctions on Jack Ma and Tencent Games just illustrate this point?
Putting aside the trivial matters, although Di Fan understood what Xiaolongnu did, he still couldn't stand it in his heart... He sighed softly and stepped forward to close the eyes of the disciples who died with their eyes open.
"Alas, it's all my fault for arousing Junior Sister's ambition... But for the future of the entire Central Plains, I can only ask you to go on your way..."
Di Fan couldn't bear it any longer and slapped the ground, digging out a huge pit. He took out the gold, silver and valuables from the disciples and put them aside before burying the bodies in the pit.
Afterwards, they continued on their way... collecting valuables and burying bodies along the way... until they arrived at the main hall of the Unfeeling Valley, a slightly larger stone house surrounded by many smaller stone houses...
The scene was a bit tragic. Aside from a few small stone houses scattered far away and the main hall remaining intact, the rest of the surrounding stone houses were all smashed to pieces, leaving only a huge palm print...
He finally saw his junior sister… standing atop the treetops, clad in a white dress, unstained by a speck of dust. Her figure swayed with the treetops, her clothes fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth, or like Chang'e, lost in thought.
The enemies on the opposite side, however, did not feel this beauty at all... On the contrary, they stared at Xiaolongnu as if they were facing a great enemy, with terrifying eyes, as if they were looking at some female devil.
"Where is your Valley Master Gongsun Zhi? I've already given you half an hour. Don't challenge my patience."
When Xiaolongnu saw that even the eldest senior brother had come, she said with dissatisfaction.
She was moving so quickly because she didn't want her eldest brother to witness her slaughter... At the same time, she was also tempering her inner self and strengthening her ideals... However, when she arrived at the final destination, intending to kill a key figure, she failed to see the Valley Master, Gongsun Zhi, show up. This made Xiao Longnu very upset!
A young girl trembled and walked out... She had a beautiful face, extremely fair and delicate skin, clear eyes, a small black mole on the side of her mouth, and a very simple and elegant temperament...
"Fairy... my father, my father has gone to get his weapons. These people are disciples from the valley, and their martial arts skills are average. I hope the fairy will spare them... If my father has offended you in any way, I am willing to atone for my sin with my own body. I only hope that you will spare my fellow disciples and my father..."
As the girl spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes. She even fell to her knees, lying on the ground, not daring to get up... Di Fan looked at the girl in surprise. She was extremely beautiful, gentle, and kind-hearted... In the Jueqing Valley, there was only one woman with such a temperament!
[Could she... be the only good person in Jueqing Valley? Gongsun Lu'e?]
Gongsun Lu'e? The daughter of Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi?
Xiao Longnu frowned slightly, waved her hand, and pulled her to her side: "Are you Gongsun Zhi's daughter, Gongsun Lu'e?"
"Does the fairy know my name?"
Gongsun Lue'e trembled as she looked at the beautiful fairy in front of her who looked like a fairy but could kill people without blinking an eye... Woo woo, am I, Gongsun Lue'e, going to die here?
[It really is her! This girl can truly be considered a truly kind-hearted person in this world.]
[It's a pity that neither her father nor her mother could stay... Otherwise, with Gongsun Lu'e's kind nature and impressive martial arts skills, she would be well-suited to be an imperial censor, specifically, pleading for the people...]
"I'll give you a chance!" Xiao Longnu said calmly, "If you pledge allegiance to me, I'll spare the lives of your fellow disciples!"
"ah?"
Gongsun Lu'e opened her mouth wide, looking at Xiaolongnu in disbelief... She had never imagined that the female devil would actually not kill her? Instead, she wanted to take her under her wing?
"Junior sister, no!"
Di Fan leaped over to Xiao Longnu's side and said, "Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi must not be allowed to stay. Gongsun Lu'e is their child, and the hatred for their murder is irreconcilable!"
[Junior Sister, are you crazy? Keeping someone like this around is causing trouble?]
Xiao Longnu smiled softly and said, "Brother, you said I, who wanted to rebel and become the empress, if I don't even dare to recruit a talented person and am so timid, how can I be the empress? What is the point of rebelling? What is the point of starting an uprising?"
"this……"
Di Fan was embarrassed for a moment: "But, there are so many talented people, why must she be the one?"
"I just think she's pretty good, kind-hearted, and responsible. She's a good candidate to be an imperial censor, isn't that right?"
"Besides, whether I can convince her or not, don't I still have you?"
Xiaolongnu smiled sweetly at Di Fan, it was so stunning, so shocking!
Di Fan couldn't help but be stunned, almost lost in Xiaolongnu's smile...
[Wow, Junior Sister, you're getting prettier and prettier!]
[However, how did she know I had a way to win Gongsun Lu'e back?]
"Speaking of which, this little girl was truly quite miserable... Her mother, Qiu Qianchi, had ulterior motives from the moment she married into the family, intending to seize Jueqing Valley and aid her brother in his quest for the throne. Her father, knowing this beforehand, used the story of his lover to banish her to the Crocodile Pond, where she struggled to survive with her limbs amputated... But even so, this little girl still held a pure and kind heart, and was murdered by her father..."
"Ah, if I could truly untie this little girl's knot, I might even be able to find a future pillar of society for my junior sister. Speaking of kindness alone, there aren't many people in this world who can compare to this."
[Who knows, maybe he can evolve into a hero like Guo Jing?]
"Brother, what do you think?"
"Well... let's detain her with her fellow disciples first... and we'll talk about it after we find Gongsun Zhi."
So, Gongsun Lue'e was foolishly ordered by Xiaolongnu to be locked up in the main hall with other fellow disciples... Well, as for escaping, after seeing the two people's fast figures, the huge palms and the dilapidated stone house, no one thought of fleeing... After all, isn't it good to live a good life?
