After learning about Princess Xin Xin's experience, Xing Jue also felt sorry for the Embroidered Uniform Guards. However, the Embroidered Uniform Guards could only blame their bad luck for encountering such an extreme princess.
Since they despised Xing Jue so much, Xing Jue felt that there was no need to speak up for them. On the contrary, it was more satisfying to watch them get reprimanded by Princess Xin Xin, because Xing Jue despised snobs like them.
While they were chatting, Xing Jue, Princess Xin Xin, and the others had already arrived at the slave camp. Before they even got close, they could already hear the ear-piercing sounds of Saint Stones being mined, the insults of the guards, and the sound of whips being lashed on the slaves.
"You scum! Call out the person in charge of this place!"
Looking at the scene in front of her, before Princess Xin Xin could get angry, the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Martial Dragon, was already enraged. It could be seen that he was a very compassionate person, and he could not stand the abuse of the slaves by the guards.
Originally, he was still doubtful of Xing Jue's words, but at this moment, he completely believed it. It was precisely because he felt that it was impossible that he had no choice but to believe it that he was so angry.
"Quick, hurry up and inform the two captains!"
Martial Dragon had the strength of a War God, and the power he emitted was not to be underestimated. His shout was like a thunderclap that resounded through the heavens and earth, almost reaching every corner of the huge slave camp and piercing into everyone's ears.
When some of the guards saw the special attire of Martial Dragon and the others, they knew that the situation was not good. With such neat attire and such powerful strength, there was only one possibility, and that was the people of the Imperial City. With pale and frightened faces, some of the guards stumbled towards the palace where the captain of the guards was.
Martial Dragon and the others did not take the initiative to look for the captain of the guards. Instead, they stood in place and waited, because they were not afraid that the captain of the guards would escape.
"Martial Dragon, how are you going to deal with them?" Princess Xin Xin turned her head and asked Martial Dragon.
Although Princess Xin Xin had always been willful and overbearing, she was not an unreasonable girl. Martial Dragon was her personal guard and also someone who helped her deal with things.
Many times, when she encountered things that she could not solve, Martial Dragon would help her. Moreover, her father, the current Emperor, had also instructed Princess Xin Xin to hand over all matters related to the dynasty to Martial Dragon, and not to be willful.
Therefore, even though she could not wait to kill all the guards here, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and consulted Martial Dragon, who understood the situation of the dynasty.
"Princess, although the actions of the guards here are unforgivable, this is still the dynasty's slave camp. If we kill them all, it will cause the slave camp to cease production. With no one to control the slaves, we can only kill one to serve as a warning to the others," Martial Dragon slowly replied.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. However, those who bully my benefactor must be executed." After hearing Long Wu's words, Princess Xin Xin nodded in agreement.
As for the discussion between Martial Dragon and Princess Xin Xin, Xing Jue did not have any opinion. He knew that the dynasty's slave camps were not as dark as this one. All slave camps should be similar.
Even if he could liberate all the slaves here through Princess Xin Xin, he would not be able to liberate the slaves of the entire dynasty. This was because it would affect the entire dynasty. Even if Palace Master Xin Xin was favored by the Emperor, it was absolutely impossible.
Therefore, if he wanted to completely change everything, he must take control of the situation himself. However, that was a matter for the future. Right now, Xing Jue only needed to let himself and the people around him leave this place.
"I did not know that Sir would come here. I hope that Sir will not blame me for not welcoming you earlier!!!"
Not long after the reporting guard left, two plump figures rolled over from afar like two balloons. As they ran, they shouted in shame. These two fellows were like the King of Hell in the Slave Camp. However, in front of Martial Dragon and the others, they had become the real tortoise's grandsons.
"Xing Jue, how dare you! You ignorant slave, did you do something stupid to offend Sir?"
"Sir, this slave belongs to my slave camp. Let me handle him. I promise that I will give Sir a satisfactory result."
However, when the two guard captains arrived in front of Xing Jue and the others, the fat captain who arranged for Xing Jue to be a refiner changed his expression. At this moment, he was almost certain that Xing Jue had angered Martial Dragon and the others. That was why Martial Dragon and the others were so angry. As he spoke, he took out his long whip and prepared to hit Xing Jue.
"Martial Dragon, kill him." However, just as the fat guard was about to make his move, Princess Xin Xin's indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
"Puchi."
Before the fat captain could react, a golden light flashed and a large amount of blood rained down from the sky. The fat captain's head had been separated from his body.
What shocked Xing Jue the most was that Martial Dragon had clearly chopped off his head. However, even his soul source had been shattered and he had lost all signs of life. From this, it could be seen that Martial Dragon's Spirit Artifact contained a special power that allowed him to kill someone without hitting their vitals.
"Sir, spare me! Sir, spare me!"
Seeing that his brother had been turned into a corpse in an instant, the captain, who had yet to understand the situation, hurriedly knelt on the ground and continuously kowtowed to Martial Dragon.
At this moment, the surrounding guards who were watching the show were so scared that their bodies trembled. However, they did not dare to leave and could only quietly watch the scene unfold before them.
"Go, call all the guards over." After killing the fat captain, Martial Dragon did not continue with his killing move. Instead, he loudly shouted in a commanding tone.
Upon seeing this, the guards of the slave camp did not dare to hesitate. They quickly called over all the guards who were in charge of supervising the work of the slaves and gathered them in front of Xing Jue and the others.
"Princess Xin Xin is already aware of the evil deeds that all of you have committed in this slave camp. All of your crimes should be executed. However, Princess Xin Xin has always been benevolent and generous. Since all of you have contributed a lot to the empire, she will temporarily spare your lowly lives."
"Although you may be spared from death, you cannot escape punishment. From today onwards, all of you must treat these slaves well. If you dare to commit evil again, I will definitely sentence you to death by a thousand cuts." Martial Dragon shouted in a loud and oppressive voice. Like a thunderclap that could pierce through the heavens, it pierced through everyone's ears and into their souls.
"This lowly one will not dare to do it again. This lowly one will not dare to do it again."
"Thank you, Princess, for sparing our lives. Thank you, Princess, for sparing our lives!!!"
Upon hearing Martial Dragon's words, the many soldiers fell to their knees in unison, kowtowing to Martial Dragon and the others. Death by a thousand cuts was an extremely painful way to die. As for how painful it was, just imagining it was enough to make their scalps tingle with numbness.
"You, quickly release my benefactor's shackles." After seeing that Martial Dragon had finished reprimanding them, Princess Xin Xin pointed at the fat captain and said.
"Benefactor?!"
It would have been better if Princess Xin Xin had not said those words. However, the moment she said those words, all the guards present were shocked. Benefactor? Who was their benefactor? As they looked at Martial Dragon and the others, who wore a faint smile on his face and watched them, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"What are you standing there for? If you don't hurry up, I will cut off your head. "Princess Xin Xin shouted again when she saw that the fat captain was actually standing there in a daze, ignoring her orders.
"Yes, yes, yes …" At this moment, everyone was almost certain that the benefactor that Princess Xin Xin Xin was talking about was Xing Jue. Although the fat captain was shocked by Xing Jue's current status and was even afraid, he did not dare to hesitate. He quickly took out a strange key and went to Xing Jue to help Xing Jue unlock the shackles.
"He's dead, he's dead."
Just as the guard captain was unlocking the shackles for Xing Jue, one of the guards did not even dare to raise his head. At this moment, he wanted to bury his head in the ground because he was the guard who had almost whipped Xing Jue to death. He knew that if he was discovered by Xing Jue at this time, he would definitely die.
At this moment, he was extremely regretful. He regretted making things difficult for Xing Jue in the past, causing him to face such a disaster. However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Therefore, even though his intestines were green with regret, there was nothing he could do to make up for it.
"Ta"
What was there to be afraid of? Just as the guard was worrying, he heard a series of footsteps approaching him and stopping right in front of him.
"You, get up!" Then, a faint voice rang in his ears.
"Sir, please spare my life, please spare my life."
The guard, who originally did not want to raise his head even if he died, could only forcefully raise his head when he saw that the person had already opened his mouth. However, when he saw the Xing Jue who was looking at him with narrowed eyes, he began to repeatedly kowtow to the Xing Jue and beg for mercy.
Looking at the guard before him, who had wanted to beat him to death in the past, but was now kowtowing to him like a grandson. He kowtowed until his head was bleeding, and even his crotch was wet, Xing Jue felt that it was extremely laughable.
"You, go and call the craftsmen here." However, Xing Jue would not be calculative with such a small character. Therefore, he did not want to kill him. He just wanted to find someone to call Bu Chen and the others.
"Yes, this lowly one obeys."
After hearing Xing Jue's words, the guard, who thought that he was going to die, was instantly overjoyed. He suddenly stood up and quickly ran towards the palace where Xing Jue and the others were staying.
"Xin Xin, a sinner can be forgiven, but a great sinner cannot be forgiven."
"The reason why the guards of the slave camp are like this is all the guard captain's fault. If he handled matters strictly, as a subordinate, how would the guards dare to be so evil."
"Therefore, I feel that everyone can live, but he must die." After ordering the guard to call Bu Chen and the others, Xing Jue came to Princess Xin Xin's side and pointed to the guard captain who had just unlocked Xing Jue's shackles with a pale face.
"Benefactor's words are timely. Long Wu, kill him." After hearing Xing Jue's words, Princess Xin Xin did not hesitate at all. She nodded repeatedly and then said to Long Wu beside her.
"Princess, if the only guard captain is killed, I'm afraid …"
"Do you want me to repeat myself?"
After hearing Palace Mistress Xin Xin's order, Long Wu seemed a little hesitant. However, before he could finish speaking, Princess Xin Xin's face had already turned completely cold.
