Lin Ru watched the two sides exchanging words and felt that the atmosphere was getting tense.
She quickly stopped them, "That's enough!"
"Let's all keep quiet! We'll just go and see for ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Quan Jinyu suddenly felt a pang of regret. Why had she suddenly become so aggressive?
This puts His Majesty in a difficult position...
Wu Ling was even more confused!
In the past, the two of them, while not exactly having a great rapport, could certainly be said to have worked together very well.
I don't know what's wrong with me today?
Could it be that I was really too cold-hearted and heartless towards those prisoners?
Lin Ru hadn't expected that the two of them would argue over this, but now wasn't the time to mediate their relationship issues...
Suddenly, just as she was about to walk in front of the people of the Holy Kingdom, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her mind.
Ding! Hatred value increased by 100,000 points!
Lin Ru was speechless. She hadn't done anything, so why did her hatred level suddenly increase? And the announcement about the increased hatred level hadn't been broadcast for a long time, so why did it suddenly start broadcasting?
Could it be that Heaven hasn't given up on its desire to corrupt her into demonic possession?
But this broadcast was different from the previous ones. Before, they wanted to announce the names of all the people who hated her, and even their basic family information, mainly to make her feel guilty and give her a headache.
But now only an integer has been reported.
And there wasn't even a reward.
Can't the system installation process be completed from start to finish?
Why did you stop pretending as soon as your identity was revealed?
As she slowly approached the people, the broadcast in her mind grew stronger and more frequent.
It wasn't until she saw those people clearly that she understood the source of the hatred.
So these are the people in front of me.
It looks quite well-made.
However, she still noticed the hatred in his eyes.
After all, there were children among these people. Although these children were not exactly kind, they were still young and had not yet fully mastered the ability to conceal their inner thoughts.
She truly sensed a deep-seated malice.
Especially when Quan Jinyu introduced her identity!
Wu Ling also felt very uncomfortable looking at the people in front of him.
He couldn't help but say coldly, "Why don't you kneel before His Majesty?"
Quan Jinyu and the others also turned their attention to these people.
Since you want to pledge your allegiance, and you have already met His Majesty, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects?
Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment and resentment flashed in the eyes of those people.
But they quickly covered it up.
Soon, the crowd parted in the middle, and an older man stepped out!
This person is clearly the leader of these people!
However, the man was leaning on a cane, trembling, as if he was about to fall over at any moment.
This caused the soldiers nearby to instantly lower their guard.
"Your Majesty the Empress of Fengtian Kingdom, we are truly sorry! We, the old and the young, are all slightly unwell and unable to express our highest respect to Your Majesty."
"But we genuinely want to come and join the Fengtian Kingdom."
"We know that Her Majesty the Queen is the kindest of all, a fairy sent down from heaven to save us innocent people."
"You shouldn't fuss over such trivial matters, right?"
Lin Ru looked at the man's shrewd expression.
He then glanced at the soldiers standing beside him.
Are these the people who have good intentions towards the people of the Holy Kingdom?
She then turned her gaze to Quan Jinyu!
"Jinyu! You've disappointed me a bit."
Quan Jinyu's face turned red instantly!
He wasn't like this when he interacted with these people before. Why is it that when His Majesty came over, he not only didn't kneel down to pay his respects, but also seemed to be imposing moral coercion on them?
What does it mean that older people and younger people don't need to kneel and bow?
Since they want to join the Fengtian Kingdom, they should be prepared to live under someone else's roof.
They are not a charity.
Anyone, whether they're a cat or a dog, can join freely.
Moreover, the people of Fengtian Kingdom, regardless of age, would bow very respectfully to His Majesty. Why is it that they don't do the same in front of some people in the Holy Kingdom?
He said coldly, "It seems you are not sincere in wanting to join my Fengtian Kingdom."
"In that case, there's nothing more to say."
The old man at the head of the group still smiled when he heard this.
"My lord, what are you saying?"
Does not kneeling and bowing mean one is not sincerely joining?
"I never expected that the legendary Empress would be so stingy."
“We, the elderly, women and children, already have it tough enough. I never expected that you would not only not welcome us, but also try to make things difficult for us.”
"This is truly disheartening."
"I originally thought that Her Majesty the Empress of Fengtian Kingdom, like her soldiers, was a very kind person."
"But I didn't expect..."
"Why……"
The old man thought that his words would improve the soldiers' and his own image.
After all, in their holy country, praising a soldier as if he were a monarch is a great honor!
They will all be very happy.
But to his utter surprise, the moment he finished speaking, the soldiers who had been smiling at him turned pale.
Qian Duoduo, who wanted to discuss something with Quan Jinyu, overheard the old man's cryptic remarks.
He immediately flew into a rage!
Why should people from enemy countries allow their holy ruler to speak ill of her?
She walked up to the old man, pointed at his nose, and started cursing.
"What are you 'hey' about, you old codger? Hey my ass!?"
"Is your leg broken, or are you dying?"
There are many things you haven't considered.
"If you could think of everything, would your country have been beaten into this state by our country?"
"You're nothing but a rat crossing the street. It's already a favor that our Emperor is willing to see you. Who do you really think you are?"
"If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, I would have killed you eight times over, you old geezer."
"And these people behind you, the old ones are no good, are the young ones no good either? This young one has a broken leg, or is seriously ill and doesn't have long to live."
These words immediately made the faces of the people of the Holy Kingdom turn ugly.
These people didn't genuinely want to join them in the first place.
He just wanted to save his life for the time being, and then take things slowly.
This is a blood feud that destroyed their country. If it weren't for this damned girl in front of them, they wouldn't have ended up in this state. Asking them to kneel before this damned girl is simply a pipe dream.
Qian Duoduo's words became increasingly harsh, and soon some unrest began to rise among the people of the Holy Kingdom, especially among the children. They had been taught from a young age that the strong should be respected, whether by their parents, brothers, or family and friends.
