Ye Hua had misunderstood. Those who were able to stay were all honest civilians. How could they have such thoughts?
Need some advice.
So at this time, sensible subordinates are needed.
Kering understood immediately.
"Yuehua, what do you think we should do if another monster appears?" Kaiyun said dejectedly, as if he was very worried.
He is indeed a young actor. As a member of the team, if his acting skills are not up to par, he will really have no chance of survival.
Yuehua also understood instantly.
"Yes, if the monster attacks again, I'm afraid... Alas..." Yuehua said and sighed heavily.
really!
The old man heard it and his face changed: "Benefactor! Please don't leave!"
"What's wrong?" Ye Hua asked in a deep voice.
The main reason was that Ye Hua acted too aloof, like an emperor, making people tremble in fear.
What the old man really wanted to say was that he was scared.
But when he thought of the lives of hundreds of people, the old man made up his mind: "Benefactor! Please stay! Protect us!!!"
I love to hear this, but as a cold and aloof Supreme Being, it seems inappropriate to agree to it.
"What can you give us?" Ye Hua asked calmly. What I want is the village chief... No! The throne! The old man was stunned when he heard Ye Hua's words.
What to give? This Lingtai country is already in tatters, what can it give?
The old man was a little desperate.
However, a woman at the back said, "My benefactor, if you don't mind, you can be our emperor!!!"
As the woman said this, hundreds of people around her echoed her.
Looking at the group of old, weak, women and children kneeling in front of him, Ye Hua curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile, you finally said it, so that the deity can step down.
Should I refuse again? Forget it. These honest people won't be polite. It will be embarrassing if they really let me go.
"Since you ask sincerely, I will reluctantly agree to protect your safety." Ye Hua's tone carried a sense of righteousness, as if with him here, no one would be threatened, giving people a strong sense of security.
Although Qingya and Donghuang Baizhi had no expression on their faces, they were amused by their husbands' words. They were clearly thinking about it, but they acted like they didn't want it.
But Ye Hua looks so cute now.
Only Qingya and Donghuang Baizhi found it cute, and the old man was trembling with fear.
But when they heard Ye Hua agree to stay, everyone showed a glimmer of hope. The big man crushed the witch to death with one hand. Such a powerful figure could be compared with those sects.
It would be perfect to have them in charge of Lingtai State.
The old man immediately shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"
As the old man finished speaking, the people behind him shouted in unison.
Although it was a bit sloppy, at least Ye Hua was recognized by all the residents.
And it seems quite pleasant to hear such a respectful title.
But it's not over yet! Qingya and Donghuang Baizhi also slowly stroked it down, and the subordinates saw that the respected lady was doing this, and hurriedly followed suit.
Then they shouted in unison: "Long live our emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"
The shouts of a group of BUG-level subordinates shook the earth and could be heard for miles around.
The snow in the sky stopped at this moment, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the sun came out again, shining on Ye Hua's tall body.
It seemed that they were also welcoming Ye Hua, the newly appointed emperor.
To the common people, such a vision was the will of God, and they were more convinced that this man was fit to be emperor, and even God approved of it.
To them, the throne is just a nominal title. If someone sits on it and can protect them, it would be worth it.
"Stand up!" Ye Hua raised his hands. He felt so happy at this moment, especially Qingya and Donghuang Baizhi. They gave him so much face. He would go back and take good care of them tonight and let them feel his infinite love.
Everyone stood up, and the old man said respectfully: "My emperor, please follow me."
After all, he is the emperor now, and his style of doing things should be changed. It seems inappropriate to hug his wives directly. That is the behavior of a hooligan.
Walking in through the city gate, this wide road leads directly to the ruined "Imperial Palace".
When Ye Hua walked to the front of the "Imperial Palace", he sighed deeply.
"My emperor, all the valuable things in the palace have been looted, and some are even a little damaged." The old man felt a little embarrassed. His benefactor saved everyone, but he could not give corresponding rewards.
After all, being an emperor here means being a bachelor, with no soldiers and no power. The only civilians he manages are some elderly people, with a population of only a hundred. It is no different from an empty city.
Ye Hua waved his hand helplessly, and the old people prepared to go back and pack up.
"Old man, come here, I have something to ask you." Ye Hua shouted to the old man.
The old man was startled and ran over, hunched over: "I obey your order."
Continuing to walk into the "Imperial Palace", Ye Hua saw the high stone steps. The palace above was already badly damaged, and the stone steps were full of potholes. Some of the dragon heads were gone, leaving only four claws. There were weeds on the ground, and the surrounding palaces were even more dilapidated.
Slowly walking up the stone steps, a black plaque fell to the ground, on which were written three large characters "Tai Ling Palace" in a flamboyant style! The palace was dark and empty, and the imperial chair was gone, all moved away.
It's so miserable.
Ye Hua walked into the palace and asked calmly, "What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, my surname is Cao, and my given name is San." Cao San said respectfully, not daring to breathe. He felt that this man was very scary, but he couldn't tell what was so scary about him.
Ye Hua was very curious about a question, so he asked: "I want to ask you, why didn't anyone send troops to defend it?"
"My emperor, Lingtai is a vassal state of Guda Principality. It has to pay tribute every year, but due to the increasingly harsh environment, the crops cannot be harvested, and the merchants cannot find business opportunities. Over time, it has declined and can no longer pay the expensive tribute. Guda Principality will naturally not take care of this place."
After hearing this, Ye Hua finally understood that since the protection fee was gone, he would not renew the insurance.
"What about the royal family here?"
"My emperor, the royal family sold all their valuables and fled to the Principality of Guda. Some stayed to fight, but were eventually captured by the witch." Cao San said in a deep voice. There are good people and bad people in the royal family.
Ye Hua nodded: "I want to ask you, where is this place? What kind of a big country is the Principality of Guda?"
Cao San was a little confused. How could this group of people not know where this place was? This was too strange...
