He freely turned his pleading gaze toward the main hall behind him, confident that his king was watching from somewhere in the shadows.
Sure enough, the Marquis of Zhenxi soon emerged from a corner of the main hall.
"Could you please wait a moment?"
"I'm so sorry!"
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly tidy up the space inside the hall and invite Miss Lin to the front of the hall."
"You people are really something! Didn't I tell you before? Miss Lin is different from other women; she's a heroine among women, and she certainly can't be treated poorly!"
"You ended up making Miss Lin leave in anger. Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
Lin Ru seemed not to have heard the sounds behind her at all and continued walking forward.
This was the first time the Marquis of Zhenxi had ever seen such a reckless person.
Isn't this young girl afraid that if things fall apart today, she won't be able to leave Kyoto alive?
She was so confident that the people she brought could protect her and help her leave this place alive.
And what exactly is the story behind that Marquis of Zhenbei?
Didn't they express their intention to cooperate in their previous correspondence? Why did they send such a simpleton?
Judging from this, he's been bewitched by that vixen surnamed Lin.
Thinking about this made him so angry his lungs hurt!
He originally intended to give this vixen surnamed Lin a good hard time, hoping she would come to him for an audience, but to his surprise, Lin never left the house again after beating his daughter on the first day she went out.
It sat very steadily.
Today I wanted to give my daughter a good beating.
Looking at the scene before him, he realized he couldn't vent his anger.
He could only resign himself to his fate and walk quickly forward.
They even mobilized their internal energy!
They finally stopped Lin Ru just as she was about to get into the carriage.
"Miss Lin, what are you doing?"
"The banquet inside is all prepared. I have already dealt with those people. They were really blind to not recognize Miss Lin."
"Don't worry, something like today will never happen again."
Lin Ru stopped in her tracks, turned around with a cold laugh.
"And who are you, sir? Are you like that old man from before, always eager to preach?"
"Do you think that as you get older, you will gain the skill of being a teacher?"
"How can you be so shameless? I've already told you, you're not even qualified to talk to me!"
"After all, I didn't bestow your current official position upon you."
Upon hearing this, the smile that had been spreading across the Marquis of Zhenxi's face froze.
"Miss Lin is joking."
"I am the Heavenly King!"
Lin Ru knew perfectly well that he cherished the good things, but she said it on purpose.
But she pretended not to know!
"You're incredibly audacious, actually impersonating the Marquis of Zhenxi!?"
"Who doesn't know that the Marquis of Zhenxi is a general who guards a region and is very robust? How could he possibly be a pot-bellied old man like you?"
"The imposter didn't even bother to do his research before impersonating someone."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Zhenxi could no longer maintain his smile.
He used to be quite robust, but now that he's living a comfortable life and doesn't have to do everything himself, he's eaten more and has become the pot-bellied man he is today.
But knowing him is one thing, being told that to his face by this little girl is another.
At this moment, Xu Yixuan once again stepped in to interject, which was very opportune.
“Miss Lin, this must really be the Marquis of Zhenxi himself.”
"It's just that I've had too many good days, so I've gained a little weight."
"Otherwise, in the territory of the Marquis of Zhenxi, would anyone be so bold as to impersonate their master?"
Lin Rucai suddenly realized.
"So you are the Marquis of Zhenxi!"
"I've heard so much about you."
"I remember you sent people to steal the artifact from me before!"
"You have no idea, it really terrified me at the time."
The Marquis of Zhenxi was furious when he thought of the divine artifact that had vanished into thin air.
"Miss Lin is really joking. I always thought you were a weak woman, otherwise you wouldn't have been so frightened by Prince Shun that you asked me for help! But I didn't expect that I would send people to rescue you as promised."
"But you killed all the men I sent."
"Now you're accusing me of trying to steal the divine artifact from you."
"Wasn't that divine artifact something you gave me willingly in the first place?"
Lin Ru had seen shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone this shameless.
The three Lin family children behind him all wanted to spit on his ugly face.
“The Marquis of Zhenxi is truly laughable.”
"It hasn't been that long, how could you have forgotten how you got this monkey in the first place?"
"You can't forget your fellow villagers just because you've become successful."
"The people of Mianzhou miss you so much. Even though you abandoned the city and fled, they believe you will come to save them."
"I never expected this."
"You're nothing special."
The Marquis of Zhenxi felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. He hated it most when people said that he had abandoned the city and fled.
Xu Yixuan suddenly popped out again at this moment.
"Oh! I know about that."
“I was there when the Marquis sent people to rob things before.”
"This man is truly vicious; he almost killed me."
"Fortunately, Miss Lin happened to be passing by and saved me."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see you today, my lord."
"However, didn't you already steal that divine artifact?"
"Why have I never seen you use it?"
The Marquis of Zhenxi looked at the person next to him who kept interrupting.
I really wanted to slap him.
But now it's clearly a two-on-one situation.
He was at a disadvantage on his own.
We cannot allow this disadvantage to continue.
He had to be patient and cultivate good relations with the Marquis of Zhenbei's people in order to pave the way for future plans!
He took a deep breath and then put on a smile again.
"That's all in the past."
"Let's not talk about it anymore today."
"Let's go in and have a taste of the feast I've prepared for everyone."
"You've never tasted anything this delicious before."
"The imperial chefs in the capital have gathered the best skills from all over the world!"
The Marquis of Zhenxi spared no expense for this palace banquet. This banquet was specifically for these two bumpkins to see what a royal banquet was all about!
After all, he had heard that this handsome young general was originally the son of a farmer, and he didn't know what kind of luck he had to become related to the Marquis of Zhenbei.
And this vixen surnamed Lin goes without saying.
He was a refugee before.
It's possible that they ate grass and tree roots on their way to escape famine, and it's also possible that they had to compete with pigs and dogs for food when they arrived in Mianzhou.
He wanted to see just how much delicious food this little girl had seen.
