In their eyes, they are all stepping stones to climb higher.
It's all for the sake of the poisonous insects they possess.
People from neighboring countries, in particular, call these people "human beasts"!
Or it could be food!
And this ignorant and arrogant creature in front of them dared to point its finger at them.
That's practically suicide.
These people were just about to make a move.
He was stopped by an adult nearby.
After all, it's not time to completely break ties yet.
They had to save their own lives and then infiltrate the enemy camp as inside agents to provide intelligence for their own country.
If you can find an opportunity, poison their food to kill them all, then feed it to their pets!
Lin Ru naturally noticed their little actions.
He smiled and pulled Qian Duoduo back from in front of those people.
Although she smiled, the smile didn't reach her eyes. She squeezed Qian Duoduo's hand.
Although Qian Duoduo didn't know why, she followed her master's lead and distanced herself from those people.
Then she turned her gaze to Quan Jinyu's soldiers!
"Are you out of your minds? We have a blood feud with them, the enemy of our nation's destruction."
Do you even know what the hatred of a nation's destruction means?
"Having been on so many battlefields, haven't you gotten rid of your saintly nature?"
"It's either you die or I die, don't you know what that means?"
"Do you feel sorry for them now?"
"If we were a defeated nation, and your family, your wife and daughters fell into the hands of these people, do you think they would be as kind-hearted as you are?"
"Would you allow these prisoners to disrespect their own sovereign, just like you would?"
"They probably fed your parents, wife, and children to the poisonous insects in their hands long ago."
Quan Jinyu and the soldiers heard this.
They also started to put themselves in others' shoes.
Thinking of the Holy Kingdom's consistent practices, his face instantly darkened.
yes!
Why would they feel sorry for the other person?
If word gets out, it will likely cause a huge scandal.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not hold it against them and even came to see for himself.
If it were His Majesty of the Holy Kingdom, their relatives would probably have been devoured alive by those poisonous insects long ago.
How could it have survived until now?
They still won't kneel before their own monarch.
The old man leading the group noticed the change in their expressions.
The secret passage is dangerous!
He kept thinking about what else to say to change their attitude; if all else failed, he could even kneel down!
After all, we cannot let our so-called dignity interfere with the important affairs of the entire country.
Before he could come up with a solution, Lin Ru waved to the people behind her.
"Kill them all!"
"That's right! Sprinkle the powder first!"
Wu Ling nodded, and took the lead, drawing his long sword from his waist and walking forward.
With a single stroke, he chopped off the head of the old man who was in charge!
Upon seeing this, those people immediately dropped their pretense and each took out a small flute.
Start blowing!
As the flute music began, sparse sounds started to emanate from all around.
Those who were dressed more warmly took the poisonous insects out of their clothes.
Quan Jinyu had a bad feeling. He had clearly confirmed with the soldiers next to him that they had indeed searched him!
These people did not carry poisonous insects with them.
They actually took it directly from their pockets.
Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?
Watching the fight unfold before him, he knew that his Wu Kingdom was no match for Wu Ling, so he didn't join in the chaos and instead pulled Qian Duoduo further away.
Those soldiers never expected that their momentary lapse of judgment would lead to this tragedy.
This has led to the current situation.
They genuinely felt sorry for these elderly people, and seeing them reminded them of their own elderly parents.
Therefore, the body search was not conducted in a very thorough manner.
After all, it's winter now, and if we really asked them to take off all their clothes and search them thoroughly, these elderly people probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
Moreover, there were women among these people.
Although they brought some female soldiers over, when those female soldiers strongly demanded that these people take off their clothes for inspection, they looked at the crying women and felt that these female soldiers were a bit aggressive, using their small amount of power to make things difficult for ordinary people who were also women!
Then, because these people had a verbal altercation with the female soldiers, they used their official positions to forcibly send them back.
They are now filled with deep regret.
Lin Ru quietly watched these people.
He remained completely calm and composed.
These soldiers did indeed have some psychological issues.
It's possible that the one-sided killing gave them a misconception that they were just like the people under Prince Shun.
Or perhaps it was because of the long war that they were unable to go home to be with their parents. Seeing these elderly people, as well as those children and women, reminded them of their own parents, wives, and children.
That's when I truly empathized with them.
It has to be said that these people from the Holy Kingdom are quite capable.
Very good, they've grasped human nature perfectly.
However, if one is to enjoy the glory of making achievements, one should also bear pressure that ordinary people cannot bear.
After all, what job in this world is easy, pays well, is close to home, and has short working hours?
Unless you're a rich kid...
The fight was completely over in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Those people just couldn't understand how such a brilliant plan could fail because of the failure to kneel down and pay respects.
They had considered many possibilities of failure, but this was the one they had never considered.
Lin Ru didn't see the end at all; she chose to leave as soon as the war began.
Quan Jinyu looked at Wu Ling, who was fighting desperately, then at Lin Ru, who was leaving, and finally fixed her gaze on Qian Duoduo, whose eyes were sparkling!
He suddenly realized that he was the silly boy!
I originally thought I belonged to the literary category and could help with strategizing, while Wu Ling belonged to the martial category and could help with charging into battle.
But now he realizes that Wu Ling just didn't like to use his brain before, and if he really used his brain, he might be even better than him.
But he himself really doesn't know martial arts.
Charging into battle would only be a pointless death.
No wonder Qian Duoduo and His Majesty both like Wu Ling!
He let out a long sigh. His father's affairs had already disappointed His Majesty once, and now this had disappointed him again.
I wonder if His Majesty will be able to trust him in the future.
Can I still pour him tea myself?
He was sighing and groaning, as if he were about to cry.
Qian Duoduo, watching from the side, felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she had been scolded and made to cry.
