"Greetings, Princess Cang Die!"
Outside the city gates, thousands of soldiers all bowed down. The ten thousand soldiers from Luo City all knelt down. Although Goudan 'er didn't know the identity of the visitor, he was pulled to his knees by the people beside him. Of course, there was one person who didn't bow.
Chu Rui stood in his original spot with an indifferent expression as he looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared.
She had exquisite facial features and a curvaceous figure. Especially her willowy waist and slender legs. When she walked, she looked like a willow branch swaying in the wind. However, although she was a woman and looked weak, she was filled with a noble aura. She also gave off a feeling that she wasn't inferior to men. Her facial features were very beautiful. When put together, her beauty reached a whole new level. However, when she frowned slightly, she didn't look like the gentle and lovable Lin Daiyu in the legends. Instead, she seemed to be filled with a golden aura and killing intent.
This was a strong woman!
Chu Rui thought for a long time before he could think of a word. That's right. The strong women he had seen in real life were like this. Although they looked delicate and soft, and anyone with a little strength could push them down, their strength wasn't something that ordinary men could understand. This kind of woman was hard to conquer.
"Everyone, get up!"
Everyone knelt on the ground and lay down. They didn't see Chu Rui's situation, who was a little far from them. The resourceful Princess Cang Die looked at Rui with some surprise, her eyes flashing with surprise and anger. However, she did not express it, and very gently called everyone to their feet.
"What happened here? When I was patrolling the city, I found that this place was surrounded by commoners. … Did these soldiers come from Luo City? "
Although her voice was soft, the pressure contained in her tone was very strong. This was a member of the imperial family. Chu Rui couldn't help but sigh. Looking at this woman, he thought back to the first time he met Goudan 'er. The difference between them was simply incomparable. For many people, from the moment they were born, their fates were already destined for their entire lives.
"Your Highness, please uphold justice for us!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but the moment he did, the 30 or so soldiers in charge of collecting the weapons from the Luoyang City soldiers immediately knelt down. Their voices were so mournful that it made one want to break their wrists. It was unknown how much grievance these children had suffered to be able to make such choking and trembling sounds that made one's heart ache.
"…"
Without waiting for Princess Cang Die to speak, the person who had blocked Rui's path to a body search began to blabber on and on. Of course, this was his own territory and he had a backer. His words were inevitably a little biased. Chu Rui understood this very well. If it were him, he would have done the same. However, as the victim, ahem, the one who was slandered, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
"Nonsense! These soldiers had come all the way from Luo City. From the looks of it, they must have suffered a lot during the journey. You guys are still so harsh, you really shouldn't! "
However, when Princess Cang Die heard his words, not only did she not uphold justice for them, her face sank and she began to reprimand him.
"…"
The 30 or so soldiers who had just stood up knelt down again, their bodies trembling. Although the person who was reprimanding them was a delicate woman who looked like she could be killed with a single punch, she was actually the treasure of the empire. At the age of 18, she was already a famous Grand Magus in the empire. Trash like them could be burned to ashes with a single spell. Not to mention her martial strength, just her identity as a princess would make it easy for her to kill them.
"This … brave warrior! In the face of a national crisis, although they were in the wrong, you have gone too far by being so heavy-handed. If it's possible, please … "
After reprimanding the soldiers, Princess Cang Die turned her head and began to fire at Chu Rui. However, this time around, his tone was much gentler. However, this was not something Chu Rui could accept. When had the great Crimson Shadow Ghost ever been reprimanded by others? Moreover, it was a woman he didn't even know. Damn it, did she have nothing better to do?
"Fifty strikes each? Don't try that with me! That brat deserved it. I don't want to say anything more. What's done is done. If they're not convinced, I'll accompany them anytime. However, next time, it won't be as simple as being paralyzed. They'll lose their lives! "
Chu Rui waved his hand and very impatiently interrupted Princess Cang Die. He couldn't be more clear about this girl's thoughts. Fifty strikes each and everyone would be happy. After all, as a princess, as long as they weren't stupid, they would give her face no matter what. However, it was a pity that this princess was unlucky to have met such a simple-minded person. In front of so many people, he had embarrassed her and put her on the spot.
In reality, there were so many people present, and not everyone was a fool. Many people knew what Princess Cang Die's intentions were. However, to the soldiers, the prestige of the imperial family had a deep influence on them. After all, they weren't cultured people. They naturally felt honored that a princess was so courteous. Even those who were smart understood Princess Cang Die's intentions. However, she was a princess, so how could they dare to challenge her authority?
Unfortunately, there was a hothead who jumped out and didn't give them any face at all. Everyone was stunned on the spot!
"I'm not someone from your Canglan Empire. Your laws can't control me! Moreover, I saved Luocheng, so your imperial family should be grateful to me. I didn't expect that I would come all the way to Canglan City. Not only were you unable to be courteous, you even made things difficult for me. We rushed all the way here. It would have taken us ten days to travel, but we arrived in less than five days. Not only did we have to eat and sleep in the open, but we also had to deal with several threats. If it wasn't the appearance of wild beasts, it was the obstruction of demonic soldiers.
"We came here exhausted, but we were almost shot to death outside the city. Under the scorching sun, we waited for two hours before we were allowed in. Not only did they confiscate all our weapons, they even searched us. During this time, you guys who live in the imperial capital and think you're better than others were so arrogant. Do you want me to repeat it for you, Princess Cang Die?
"Who are they? They're the soldiers of your Cang Family, the most loyal people. In Luocheng, they defended your Cang Family's people to the death. They had just annihilated the invading demonic soldiers, but they were worried about Canglan City. After days of fighting, they were exhausted. After the war, they had only rested for a night before rushing here in such a hurry. But? What did they get? What I got in return was such an insult and humiliation! "
