Moreover, these people are very nimble and light-footed, clearly skilled in martial arts!
She couldn't help but chuckle softly!
Seeing her looking around, Lin Dayong thought that this girl was unsophisticated and couldn't take her eyes off such a prosperous place. She must have come from a remote mountain village!
"Miss Lin! Is this where you will rest? It was chosen with sincere care by our King!"
"Don't worry, the facilities here are definitely better than any inn in Mianzhou!"
"Even in Luzhou, you won't find such a fine inn!"
Lin Ru smiled and nodded, saying meaningfully, "The Marquis of Zhenxi is truly thoughtful! I really like this place!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dayong raised his head even higher!
He had an arrogant and conceited look on his face!
However, Lin Ru's words made him lose his smile!
"However, Your Highness is wrong about one thing. Mianzhou has changed drastically. It is no longer the city you abandoned and fled!"
"After I took over, my first thought was to seek the well-being of the people! Unlike the Marquis of Zhenxi, who, when faced with danger, immediately withdrew all the troops from Mianzhou, disregarding the lives of the people, and fled to the capital to hide!"
"You all live such good lives now, but you don't care about the lives of ordinary people!"
"Fortunately, Mianzhou is no longer your territory, but mine!"
"Moreover, nowadays all wealthy people are willing to go to Mianzhou. Not only is the transportation there convenient, but there are also many rare items, and trade is very developed! The people of Mianzhou can afford pepper, Sichuan pepper, and chili peppers!"
"Everyone can fill their stomachs, which is why Mianzhou is so well-developed today!"
"In our area, there are such inns that, while not exactly everywhere, are certainly affordable for ordinary people!"
"If the Marquis of Zhenxi and the Prince Consort come to our Mianzhou, I will definitely arrange a place for you to stay that is even better than this. I will let you broaden your horizons."
"Know what it means to be outdone by others, and to not use your own knowledge to judge the knowledge of others!"
"Oh! By the way! Are all the guards in these shops over there here to protect me?"
"If they're all here to protect me, then change into your own clothes! It's so embarrassing to see them wearing those flashy clothes and pretending to be busy."
Lin Dayong really regretted not silencing the brat before she uttered her first word!
I wonder what this brat eats all day, how come she's so quick-witted? Her words have stirred up some desire in the hearts of the people around her!
"Your Highness, why is your face so dark?"
"Could it be because I haven't showered in a long time?"
"That shouldn't be the case! The drought should be more severe in our Fengtian Kingdom! Why is it you who has a dark face?"
"If you do this, won't the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi look down on you? After all, you're getting old, and you've been married before."
"I wonder what that Marquis of Zhenxi's daughter sees in you? Is it your age? Your lack of bathing? Your ruthlessness? Or your foul mouth?"
"Or perhaps you can satisfy the unspeakable secret of the Marquis of Zhenxi's daughter? Otherwise, why would she choose a man like you?"
"Not all the men in the world have died."
Lin Dayong clenched his fists tightly; he was about to lose control of his temper!
Lin Ru then laughed and said, "Your Highness, you were just joking! Why are you so angry? Your little fists are clenched so tightly!"
"I know that although not all the men in this world have died out, you are the first one to kill his wife and abandon his children to marry into his family!"
"I wonder if the child born to the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi will have the surname Lin or something else?"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, and the onlookers immediately began to whisper among themselves!
"My God, my God! I told you so. This pretty boy rose to power by relying on women. He's no good at anything, yet he still managed to become a general."
"Who says otherwise? But I never expected this pretty boy to have a wife and son before. He killed his wife and abandoned his child just to become someone else's live-in son-in-law!"
"Is this something a human being could do?"
"Look at the prince consort's face, why is it so dark and gloomy? And why isn't he retorting? Is he mute?"
"What do you mean by 'mute'? This is really true! My sister-in-law's husband, my sister's younger sister's husband, and my younger sister's uncle are all in the army! That girl is telling the truth!"
"Oh my god..."
Lin Dayong felt that those people's gazes were like sharp blades, as if they were going to pierce a hole in him. He hated it most when people called him a live-in son-in-law or a son-in-law who married into the family!
He felt that his dignity had been insulted!
Without a second thought, he drew his long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Lin Ru!
Lin Ru's guards all drew their long swords and assumed defensive postures!
Meanwhile, the soldiers in the nearby shops also pulled out long swords from some corner and surrounded them!
War is imminent!
The gossiping crowd around them all shut their mouths!
They were all starting to regret coming to see this spectacle today!
Lin Ru sat steadily on Xiao Yue, nonchalantly taking out her spirit cannon from her sleeve, wiping it left and right and looking at it!
"You're not satisfied? I was just stating the truth, why are you so angry?"
“You’re pointing a long sword at me, which is making me a little scared. When I’m scared, my hand becomes unsteady. If I were to point this thing at you, how long do you think you and the people behind you could hold out?”
When Lin Dayong saw what she was playing with in her hand, Li Zhi immediately turned around!
He was all too familiar with that thing; it was this very thing that had caused the deaths of over a thousand of his brothers just two days ago!
Luckily, I was standing a little further away and a little to the side, otherwise I would probably be a ghost in the underworld by now!
A smile forced a smile onto his stiff face!
Then slowly sheath the sword!
However, admitting defeat like this would be too humiliating. How would he ever face anyone in Kyoto again? So he couldn't help but shout, "Let me tell you, not only is this Kyoto where you are, but it's not some backwater mountain village! Watch your mouth, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Moreover, I, Lin Dayong, have never had a wife or son before. I have only had one wife in my life, Princess!"
"Don't use those rumors to slander me!"
Lin Ru stared at him for a while!
