"My Lord Howling Moon! Have you forgotten? Only I can understand what you're saying! People outside just think you're sobbing!"
Xiaoyue: "They're so stupid! I explained it so clearly, how could they not understand!"
"What an idiot!"
Lin Ru hugged and stroked its wolf head before opening the outer door.
A large group of people have arrived outside!
When Wu Juan saw Lin Ru come out, she felt embarrassed at all!
"Chief! They say they have something important to discuss with you!"
"I called you twice, but there was no response. All I could hear was Xiaoyue sobbing. Everyone thought something had happened!"
"And I can't even feel your breath anymore!"
"I'm so glad you're alright!"
Ji Wenxuan chimed in, "Miss Lin, you really scared me to death! I thought you'd been eaten by the little wolf!"
"The generals on Prince Shun's side insist on coming to see you!"
"We've received a reply from Kyoto, saying they've already dispatched troops to Prince Shun's encampment! If we had known that Heaven was on our side, we wouldn't have sent a message to Kyoto!"
"Once we've swallowed them all, we'll have enough leverage to negotiate with those people!"
Wu Ling stood to the side, looking at Lin Ru with concern. Only after confirming that her complexion had returned to normal and that she had no injuries did he feel relieved.
Lin Ru straightened her clothes and left with Ji Wenxuan and the others!
Once you get to Bai Jian's side, tell him to go to the refugee area and bring back his maternal grandfather and the others!
She was initially worried about these refugees causing a riot, but now that she had so many troops, and these people must have heard about what happened this morning! If they still tried to cause trouble, they would be nothing more than ungrateful wretches, and it would be better to just kill them and accumulate hatred points!
When she reached the lobby, it was already packed with people! All eyes were on her, scrutinizing her from head to toe! Their eyes held a mixture of judgment, suspicion, and amazement!
Qi Duwei and his men stood on the left, while the prisoners of Prince Shun were on the right!
These people must all be prominent figures in the military!
These people probably can't understand how they, who have been through countless battles, could be defeated by such a little girl!
Moreover, the thing in this little girl's hand was so strange that they had no choice but to surrender!
Moreover, when this little girl stood on the city wall, she always seemed to be radiating light. But now that I look closely, she seems to be just a little prettier than others, and there's nothing special about her!
The doubts in everyone's eyes were practically overflowing!
Among this group of people, one person stood out. His eyes were exceptionally bright, and his smiling face made him look exactly like a pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha!
She saw that this person was standing at the very front on the right, and judging from his appearance, he must be the legendary Smiling Buddha Haiming!
Lin Ru remained completely unfazed by their stares!
He calmly walked to the main seat under everyone's gaze!
After she sat down, she looked at Hai Jingming with a smile on her face!
"General Hai! Tell me you're in a hurry to see me! Is there something you need?"
Hai Jingming was both surprised and delighted to hear Lin Ru call him!
"The goddess actually knows me?"
"That would truly be an honor for me, Hai!"
"We want to see the Goddess, mainly to discuss with that person what we should do next!"
"According to my spies, Kyoto and Prince Kang have already taken action!"
"The way they look at themselves, they probably want to swallow up Luzhou!"
"If we don't return to defend soon, Luzhou might be handed over to them!"
"Everyone just wants to know if Heaven has given the goddess any other instructions!"
Lin Ru didn't rush to answer, but instead looked at the expressions of everyone present!
Then he asked, "What do you think we should do given the current situation?"
"Or do you think anyone is qualified to be emperor?!"
"Given our current situation, what can we do to make things better?"
Commandant Qi thought for a moment and said, "Now that the Jing Kingdom is falling apart, the previous situation of four marquises, King Wu, and one emperor is probably gone forever. These marquises have been entrenched in their own territories for a long time, and they have long since stopped obeying the emperor's orders!"
"But the Marquis of Zhenxi's actions shattered the peace!"
“These princes and nobles are no pushovers! They’ve all declared themselves kings and are looking for allies! As long as the capital makes a move, they can rise up in rebellion. The death of Prince Shun not only gives the capital an opportunity to act, but also gives those princes and nobles a reason to overthrow Marquis Zhenxi!”
"It's no longer a matter of who's in Kyoto or who's the emperor!"
"And our current situation is extremely dangerous!"
"It's possible that in less than half a month, everyone will know the title of Goddess, and they will also know that the Goddess possesses a divine artifact!"
"Whether those people believe it or not, this is undoubtedly a better excuse!"
"I think the most important thing right now is to block the news, not only the news about the goddess, but also the news that Prince Shun has died!"
On the other side, Meng Jiang nodded and said, "Yes! The Commandant is right! And I think the Marquis of Zhenbei in Yuzhou is a very good candidate!"
"His daughter married Prince Jing as his principal wife! And they have a son who was born as the heir apparent. The Marquis of Zhenbei is also the number one general in the land. If he is willing, he can support his son-in-law. Once his son-in-law ascends the throne, his daughter will be the empress, and the next emperor will be his grandson!"
"If I were him, I would absolutely do it!"
"Moreover, he is known for his kindness to the people. We can take all our troops and territory and join the Marquis of Zhenbei!"
Their words were echoed by the men of the Prince of Shun on the right!
"That's right! I've also heard of the Marquis of Zhenbei's reputation. He's not only good to the people, but also extremely kind to his subordinates!"
"If we take our current troops and territory with us, we'll definitely be appointed generals!"
"Yes! And the goddess can also be made a noble consort!"
"Continue to protect the people of the world!"
The more they talked, the more feasible it seemed! After all, they had long heard of the Marquis of Zhenbei's reputation, and Prince Jing was known for his gentleness, which was definitely better than what they had done before!
The crowd below was buzzing with discussion, getting more and more excited as they talked!
"Yes! When the time comes, we'll spread the word that whoever wins over the goddess will win the world!"
"Or we could simply offer up that divine artifact!"
"At that time, everyone will probably come and fight for us. We'll go with whoever offers the best terms!"
"Moreover, if the goddess can win over the future emperor, she might even become an empress!"
Lin Ru looked at the men below, who were talking eloquently!
I was utterly disappointed. These people never treat women like human beings, no matter what!
