But he couldn't help but chime in, "Yes! Soldiers and civilians alike are living such a miserable life!"
"This land desperately needs to be rested and recuperated."
"If this continues, all we'll get is scorched earth."
"Personally, I really hope that we can stop the fighting!"
Those behind Xu Yixuan looked at their general with disapproval in their eyes.
However, based on their understanding of their young general, after so many years of fighting in the east and west, the young general is no longer the simple and ignorant person he was at the beginning. He is now more cunning than anyone else, otherwise he could not have reached this point in just one month.
Looking at the longing in Xu Yixuan's eyes, Lin Ru nodded, "War was never my wish!"
"If we could really rest and recuperate for a while, that would be the best."
What she said was indeed the truth. At first, she only wanted to give her family a safe and peaceful place, but after observing them for a long time, she realized that these people only cared about their own interests and did not care about the lives of the people below. If they gave up their power, the only result would be death.
So she decided to create her own kingdom!
If the Marquis of Zhenxi truly feels that way, she might consider it.
But the Marquis of Zhenxi was truly treacherous and cunning, and in the novel he used every means at his disposal.
They'll take advantage of anyone!
Therefore, there must be more to his story.
As expected, the Marquis of Zhenxi smiled and said, "Since you all agree, that's wonderful. On behalf of all the suffering people in the world, thank you!"
"But as you all know, although we are now nominally divided into three kingdoms!"
"But the division of this territory is really unfair."
"Each of us, including the Marquis of Zhenbei, only owns three provinces!"
"But Miss Lin has four of them!"
"If everyone is truly willing to consider the well-being of the people, let's redivide the territory!"
"Let's be a little fairer!"
Lin Ru knew that this old fox was up to no good.
She smiled. "Lord Zhenxi! Tell me! What would be considered fair?"
The Marquis of Zhenxi did not speak directly, but looked at Xu Yixuan beside him, "Jade-faced young general, I have long heard of your great name! Not only are your martial arts skills superb, but your strategies are also excellent. Why don't you tell me, what would be considered fair?"
Xu Yixuan smiled calmly.
"I think it's fair now."
"Whoever conquers the territory owns it, right? Do you think you can just take someone else's territory?"
Marquis Zhenxi never expected that Xu Yixuan would be so shameless, dividing up that little vixen's territory in a way that was very friendly to both sides, but the little brat just didn't take it seriously.
He mentally scrutinized Xu Yixuan a thousand times, wishing he could rush forward and stab him right now, and quickly find someone else to talk to.
But he still had to force a smile on the surface.
"Young General Jade Face is joking. How can you say it's seizing someone else's territory? It's just reasonable planning."
"The Marquis of Zhenbei is no longer here. I am a little older than the two of you, so I will speak."
"How about this, Miss Lin, give up Mianzhou, and the three of us will split it equally."
"That way, everyone's territory will be evenly distributed."
Lin Ru nodded, smiled, stood up, and clapped her hands.
"The Marquis of Zhenxi is indeed worthy of his title; he is truly remarkable."
"Even begging is described in such a refined and elegant way."
Marquis Zhenxi never expected that this young girl surnamed Lin would actually curse him as a beggar in front of so many people, which really angered him.
Just as he was about to retort, the little vixen didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
"My lord, if I were you, I would shut up right now. After all, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. How can someone like you want my territory? How can you be so shameless? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Look at yourself, you old dragon, who knows how many days you have left to live? What? Do you want a tree from Mianzhou to make a nicer coffin for yourself?"
"If you want a good coffin for yourself and your family, just say so, and I can give you a few trees from Mianzhou!"
"But if you want my land in Mianzhou, then you're being rather ungrateful. Didn't you voluntarily give up this land before? Now you're shamelessly trying to get it back. Ask the people of Mianzhou if they'll let you take it back."
Marquis Zhenxi couldn't sit still either. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and started cursing at Lin Ru.
"You little demon, you actually dared to curse me to death! Let me tell you, even if I die, you won't be able to send anyone to kill me..."
Lin Ru pulled out a spirit energy cannon from her bosom and slammed it onto the table with a bang.
"Come on, let's see who dares to come. You all surely recognize this thing, right?"
"My lord! How does the divine weapon feel in your hand?"
"Would you like to experience the effects of this amazing device firsthand!"
The Marquis of Zhenxi looked at the divine artifact on the table and swallowed his next words.
He was speechless. He had clearly told the palace maids and eunuchs to tuck themselves in when they came in, so why did this witch still manage to bring this thing in?
With this thing around, no matter how bad his temper is, he can only put up with it.
His face turned pale and then flushed, and he forced a smile before slowly sitting down.
"What is Miss Lin doing?"
"Let's talk this out."
The ministers nearby chimed in, "Yes, Miss Lin, what are you doing? How could you bring such a weapon into the main hall? Don't you know that weapons are not allowed in this hall?"
I think...
Lin Ru held the spirit cannon and pointed it at the ministers who were speaking. She pointed at whoever was speaking.
Who knows that this girl is a ruthless scoundrel? If she really makes a move, they will be utterly wiped out.
The people were so frightened that they panicked. Some crawled under the table, some pulled the women behind them to shield themselves, and others stood up and ran to the side to avoid the range of the spirit cannon.
Although they ran fast, they kept talking.
"What exactly is wrong with you, woman?"
"This thing is so dangerous, it should be given to a man."
"Yes! Miss Lin, please stop joking. If you really make a move, the King will definitely avenge us."
"Yes! And I think..."
Lin Ru smiled and pointed at the things in her hand.
"I don't care what you think, I only care what I think."
