Then he opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything!
After they finished buying clothes, they bought some horse-drawn carriages and then found an inn to stay in!
However, those people all had a shifty look in their eyes!
Although I wanted to offer some advice, I hesitated to speak up because of something!
After they rested for a while, they came out of the room.
Wu Ling whispered, "We've been spotted. There are about ten people outside!"
"They all look like they're trained fighters."
Lin Ru smiled slightly!
"It's alright! Just let me handle it!"
Shui Xiang was still a little flustered when she saw the scene in front of her!
"Miss Lin! Is it really alright for us to just walk over like this? Wouldn't that be like walking right into a trap?"
Lin Ru: "Just you wait! As long as I tell you to hide, you'd better find a place to stay!"
"Watch my actions!"
"It's a pity that you don't know any self-defense skills, otherwise we would have just left you at the inn and you wouldn't have had to come with us!"
Shui Xiang and the other girls blushed as they were told this. Their families had always taught them to be gentle and quiet, and they had never been looked down upon for not knowing martial arts. But since they were captured, they had been in that hellish place, where they had been training continuously, but this was not something that could be accomplished in a short time!
Now that I don't know martial arts, I feel even more embarrassed to be a burden to others!
Lin Ru waved to them! Then, in a grand procession, they boarded the carriage and headed towards the county government office!
Upon arriving at the county government office, I was stunned by its magnificent and opulent decorations. It was no different from a prefectural government office!
Just by looking at the facade of the county government office, you can already tell just how much money this magistrate has embezzled!
The guards at the gate saw the large group of people approaching and assumed they were there to cause trouble. They quickly drew their long swords from their waists, stepped forward, and shouted sternly, "How dare you! Who are you? Since you dare to cause trouble here, don't you know where you are?"
"Get out of here, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Lin Ru slowly stepped out of the carriage, dressed in a black and gold outfit, which made her look very composed and dignified!
Moreover, he exudes an aura of superiority and condescension!
Such a beautiful appearance!
The two guards were so distracted that they almost forgot what they were doing!
Wu Ling immediately stepped forward and coldly rebuked, "How dare you! Her Majesty the Empress has arrived, why don't you pay your respects?"
"Quickly summon your county magistrate to me."
"And summon all the officials in Xiqing County."
"All of you, come and pay your respects to Her Majesty the Empress!"
The two men immediately came to their senses, and then, as if they had heard a hilarious joke, they clutched their stomachs and burst into laughter!
"You call yourselves empresses?!"
"Where did this empress come from?"
"I think you must be dreaming."
"We in Xiqing County have never recognized any empress!"
"And what kind of backwater did you come from, daring to mock us like this! Let's see how I deal with you!"
After saying that, the two men prepared to make their move, but as soon as they raised their long swords, they suddenly saw a blur before their eyes, and one of the guards had his throat slit and fell backward to the ground!
When the other person realized what was happening, he saw that the man who had just spoken had somehow appeared behind him!
And the knife was covered in blood!
He was so frightened that his legs trembled!
Even his speech is somewhat slurred!
"Who...who are you? Do you even know what the crime of murdering an official of the imperial court is?!"
"I'm telling you! If you dare to touch me, the magistrate will absolutely let you off the hook!"
Wu Ling walked over with a smile, and patted his face with the bloodstained longsword!
"Get inside right now and report to your magistrate."
"Tell him to get out here right now and pay his respects to Her Majesty the Empress."
"Otherwise, I'll send you and your brothers to meet the King of Hell!"
The man felt his brother's hot blood splatter on his face, which terrified him so much that his legs went weak. He wanted to rush in and report to the magistrate, but his legs wouldn't obey him. In the end, Wu Ling grabbed him by the collar, kicked open the gate of the government office, and threw him inside!
"Get the person out here right now!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The man was terrified. Perhaps it was the will to survive that gave his legs strength again, and he ran inside in a panic!
After he ran inside, Shui Xiang and the others were stunned by the scene before them. What?! Her Majesty the Empress?!
Is it the one they know?
Is it really possible for this little girl in front of me?
Although they had some doubts, they were afraid that asking in public would disrupt Miss Lin's plans!
Amidst this anxious atmosphere, a group of people soon emerged from inside. The leader was bloated and adorned with gold and silver. If it weren't for the people around him addressing him as "Your Excellency, County Magistrate," everyone would have thought he was some nouveau riche.
The county magistrate was accompanied by several people dressed in official robes. Although they were wearing official robes, their demeanor was somewhat out of place. In particular, the appearance of some of them did not look like people from Jing Kingdom at all, but rather like people from Sheng Kingdom!
When the magistrate came out, he looked at the corpse on the ground and listened to the guards beside him complain, "Your Honor, it was them, it was this group of ignorant fools. They killed our brothers and even shouted that they wanted you to come out and see her, saying that they were some kind of empress."
"They just said some really nasty things!"
"Then you show no respect to other adults!"
The magistrate felt as if the corpse lying on the ground was being slapped in the face!
For so long, he has been the sole ruler of Xiqing County! Which of the common people below doesn't cower in fear when they see him?
Even when the Marquis of Zhenxi was in power, he wouldn't just kill people like that!
Moreover, Mianzhou is now divided into several factions. Although a young girl has stepped forward and proclaimed herself empress, he thinks this is utterly absurd and no one will obey the empress's orders!
Most importantly, he is now a subject of the Holy Kingdom!
These people who dare to slap him are slapping the face of the Holy Kingdom! How will they ever be able to swagger around in Xiqing County again!
Thinking of this, the fat on his face trembled with rage!
But as soon as he raised his head, his eyes suddenly lit up!
