"I am not taking human life lightly, nor am I doing this for so-called self-esteem! But this matter concerns the national prestige. If it gets out, how will other countries view our Great Xia?" Si Hong explained.
Chen Sihao thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed inappropriate to spread this matter, but you can't just kill people like this, right? If you say so, then there are so many guards here who have seen this, are you going to kill them all too?"
"They are my personal guards, so I naturally trust them. But she is just an ordinary person. I am not afraid that she will go out and say nonsense, but I am afraid that she will be used by someone with ulterior motives." Si Hong said lightly.
Chen Sihao smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "How about this, I remember that although the people in your Xia Palace are not very skilled, they still have the means to erase people's memories, right? If you are worried, just erase his memory of today."
"Xia Palace does have this method, but the medicinal materials consumed are of high value, enough for my Great Xia to purchase a warship. I think it is worth exchanging her life for a warship! She was able to sacrifice for my Great Xia, which means she realized her value. I can posthumously confer her the title of a hero." Si Hong said.
"I gave you face, didn't I?" Zhang Jingxuan was furious. "She's a living person, and you actually think she's not as good as a broken battleship!"
"What our Great Xia lacks the least is people." Si Hong also argued with reason. From his point of view, he felt that his decision was correct. Although it was a bit cruel, it was the most rational approach. If the money saved was used to improve people's livelihood, it could help tens of thousands of people. What's wrong with exchanging one person's sacrifice for the happiness of tens of thousands of people?
Although he may not necessarily use the money saved to improve people's livelihood, this is the truth.
"You kid, why didn't I realize that you are such a thing before? No wonder even though you have some friendship with the Palace Master, you still only reached the Golden Immortal Realm! You were not among the group of people who were resurrected!" Zhang Jingxuan scolded.
"You don't understand!" Si Hong snorted coldly.
"Alright! Si Hong, I order you to stop this matter here! You can just let this little girl go, or clear her memory of today and then release her. Anyway, I want to see her return home safely and her life will not be affected in the slightest. Otherwise, Si Zheng will tell you how much weight my words carry!"
In the end, it was Chen Sihao who made the final decision and used Si Zheng's name to intimidate Si Hong.
When Zheng Miao was about to leave, Zhang Jingxuan shouted to him, "Xiao Zheng, don't worry. I will never break my promise to you. When I am out of trouble, I will give you a great opportunity."
