Looking at the unbridled eyes of the man below, Wu Ling wished he could gouge out his own eyes. He hated it most when a man looked at Lin Ru with such eyes!
This is blasphemy!
But since His Majesty hadn't spoken, he couldn't overstep his bounds and do it on his behalf!
He could only hold a long sword, ready at any moment to kill this disrespectful person in front of him!
The situation remained deadlocked for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Lin Ru suddenly smiled!
This laugh was so funny that it completely stunned Liu Heng below!
When he wasn't smiling, he was ethereal and beautiful, as if he were about to return to heaven in the next second. But when he smiled, he was even more stunningly beautiful. He would be willing to give up his heart and soul even if he had to do it in the next second!
Liu Heng quickly lowered his head!
He was terrified that he would be bewitched by this wicked woman and commit suicide!
"Goddess, please have some self-respect."
Lin Ru casually crossed her legs!
His face was still full of smiles, but his voice was icy cold!
"You're a really interesting person."
"You came to my door asking to see me."
"It's like I forced you to come here."
"Since you don't want to kneel, then show your guest out."
"I don't think there's anything between us to talk about."
"Let's see who's truly capable on the battlefield!"
"Wu Fei! Throw him out!"
Wu Fei respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, he walked forward, his eyes filled with a fierce look!
Liu Heng was somewhat bewildered by this sudden turn of events!
Why was I thrown out after only saying two words?
Shouldn't negotiations between two countries be reciprocal? And an envoy from one country does indeed represent its monarch! Meeting the monarch of another country doesn't require special treatment, let alone with this woman before him. She's hardly a monarch at all!
However, if he were just thrown out like that, he might not be able to complete his mission!
Although he was terrified of dying, he was even more afraid of failing!
So he gritted his teeth and finally knelt down on one knee!
"My Lady Goddess!"
"I represent the monarch of our country!"
"Don't push your luck!"
Lin Ru sneered as she looked at the man kneeling on one knee. She picked up a dried fruit from the table and flicked it at his other leg, which was not kneeling.
This contained all of her internal energy!
They broke the bone in his other leg that was supporting him on the ground!
Liu Heng groaned, and his other leg involuntarily knelt down on the ground!
He was afraid his leg was broken, but he gritted his teeth and tried not to look so pathetic!
"Liu Heng! Very good! I never expected that such a despicable person as the Marquis of Zhenxi would have someone as resilient as you under his command! What a pity!"
"Speak, what does your master want with me?"
"Just say it already, don't waste my time."
"I still need to discuss how to annex you all!"
With things having come to this, Liu Heng had no choice but to kneel obediently on the ground, take out a letter from his bosom, raise it above his head with both hands, and say in a humble yet respectful manner, "Goddess, this is a letter that His Majesty sent me to deliver!"
"Please take a look!"
Lin Ru gave a wink to the people below, and immediately someone took the letter from Liu Heng's hand!
But as soon as she opened the letter, she couldn't help but burst out laughing!
"I must be seeing things."
"This letter is a petition to obedient citizens!?"
"Does that mean we should follow public opinion?"
"Your master is really funny, he actually made such a thing."
"Following public opinion?"
"Wasn't he the one who held women and children in front of him during our battle?"
"I have never seen such a despicable person in my life."
"They actually used the elderly, women, and children as an excuse during the battle."
"You think it's so glorious to put these people at the forefront!?"
"I've also prepared a petition for the people! To obey the will of the people and stop the war!?"
"Don't you yourselves feel ashamed when you see this?"
Liu Heng knew that his emperor had captured some refugees to prevent Lin Ru from using the so-called divine artifact when fighting against her, and had selected the elderly, weak, women and children to push to the front line to block the soldiers. If Lin Ru used the divine artifact, the first wave of people to die would be these elderly, weak, women and children! At that time, Lin Ru would lose the support of the people!
He had always thought that his emperor's idea was excellent. After all, supporting the elderly, weak, women and children was too expensive, and these people were usually not of much use. Now that they finally had a place to use their talents on the battlefield, they should be grateful. However, it was fine to do these things in private, but now that they were being brought up in public and mentioned together with the Book of Obedient Citizens, it felt a bit like a slap in the face!
But he still stubbornly insisted, "If you hadn't resorted to underhanded tactics and had fought us fairly and squarely on the battlefield, my Majesty wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure!"
"If you truly care about the people, you should destroy that so-called divine artifact!"
"This kind of thing should not exist in the world."
"That's unfair to the others!"
Lin Ru looked at what Shunmin wrote in his book and listened to what Liu Heng said, and sneered repeatedly!
"I knew the Marquis of Zhenxi couldn't possibly raise anything good!?"
"Just like your master!"
"He's not very bright."
"In all the time I've fought against you, when have I ever used a divine weapon?"
"But you always put the elderly, women and children at the forefront."
"If it weren't for this, Kyoto would probably have been flattened by me long ago!"
"And what is fair in this world? What is unfair?"
"I obtained those things through my own abilities."
"If you're so capable, you should make one too."
"If you're incompetent, then shut your mouths."
"Return the petition to the people! It sounds so noble, but isn't it just a ploy to lure us there?"
"Do you think I'm that stupid?! To go there myself at this time?"
"So you're just going to hand over hostages to us like this?"
"What makes him think he can represent the will of the people! He even wants to invite me and the Marquis of Zhenbei to a three-way meeting! He'll chair the meeting! Where does he get the nerve? Who gave him the courage?"
"Your master is really good at this! I could hear it all from the Arctic!"
Liu Heng immediately retorted, "You're wrong to say that. Although His Majesty's actions were somewhat unethical, I think what you did was even more wrong."
"If you want the elderly, women, and children to have peace without going to the battlefield, then you should destroy the divine weapon in your hand. Only then can the rest of the people feel at ease."
"Otherwise, who knows if you might suddenly get the urge to use those crooked and evil methods again one day?"
