"However, your father's death is also related to me. If you want to take revenge on me, you've found the right person! "
Chu Rui didn't hide anything from the girl who had worked with him to cast the combined forbidden curse. Perhaps hiding it from her would be a good thing, but he didn't do so. Because it was a kind of cruelty. She had the right to know the truth.
"Ancestor? How could that be? "
Princess Cang Die couldn't accept it. Cang Hun was her ancestor. How could he kill his direct descendant?
"Whether you believe it or not, that's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask these civil and military officials, or ask your ancestor yourself! "
Chu Rui shrugged with an indifferent expression. Cang Hun was still useful, and so was Princess Cang Die. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much effort doing these boring things. He had recovered a lot of his strength, but he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he was invincible, even if the Cloud Mist Continent was only a low-end plane.
After hearing Chu Rui's words, Princess Cang Die looked around. The civil and military officials who met her gaze all lowered their heads. Even the pillars of the empire, the Dragon Warrior General, and Prime Minister Hua Ling did the same.
"Why?"
Princess Cang Die's voice was a little hoarse. She looked at Cang Hun with an expression full of grief and despair.
"Answer her!"
Cang Hun shut his mouth and didn't say anything. Chu Rui raised his eyebrows. You Li-er immediately understood and used the Soul Language Technique to bind Cang Hun and make him answer.
Cang Hun couldn't break free from the Soul Language Technique. He knew very well that if he said this, he would definitely die. Moreover, his end would be rather miserable. It would be impossible for him to simply die. However, he couldn't break free from the Soul Language Technique before. Now that Chu Rui had crippled it, it was even more so.
Princess Cang Die's face turned pale as she listened to Cang Hun speak his thoughts in detail. Her eyes were covered with a gray color.
"Now that the Empire is leaderless, the entire Canglan Empire is suffering from the torment of the Demonic Army. Countless citizens are in deep trouble. This subject requests Your Highness, Princess Cangdie, to ascend the throne and lead the citizens to resist the Demonic Army in order to pacify the people."
Prime Minister Hua Ling suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed to Princess Cang Die.
The Great General of the Dragon Warriors reacted instantly and followed Hua Ling to kneel on the ground!
When the other officials saw this, the pillars of the two great dynasties, one civil and one military, knelt down in submission. Immediately, more than half of them also knelt down and shouted for Princess Cang Die to ascend to the throne. However, a small portion of them were still standing. These fence-sitters had a very accurate view of the situation. The current Cang Lan Empire was no longer under the control of the Cang Family. The Azure Sea Great Emperor and his seventeen princes were all dead, but the Cang Family's patriarch had emerged from seclusion as a prisoner.
Right now, Canglan City, and even the entire Canglan Empire, was under the control of this young man. Those guys were crazy. They didn't support the person in charge who had control of the situation. Instead, they supported a little girl who was still wet behind the ears. They were really tired of living. One had to know that the young man in front of them wasn't a kind person. He had slaughtered over thirty thousand demon soldiers and forced the Cang Family's patriarch to sacrifice a dozen of his direct descendants with a single sword strike to save his life. In the end, he had still fallen into the hands of someone else. If he was in a bad mood, he could kill everyone present as easily as crushing an ant.
Chu Rui looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground and asking for Princess Cang Die to ascend to the throne with a half-smile. That smile made the civil and military officials' hair stand on end. It had to be said that even though it was every man for himself, there were still other things in this world. The Azure Sea Great Emperor was dead, but this group of officials was still rather loyal to him. At least, the two important officials of the imperial court, one civil and one military, were still so.
"If you become the emperor, I will support you!"
Chu Rui had no interest in becoming the emperor. If Princess Cang Die became the ruler of Canglan Country, then it wasn't impossible. After all, the Canglan Empire belonged to the Cang Family. This was already deeply ingrained in the hearts of the citizens. Even though the demon race was invading and they were in an era of extreme chaos, it wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time. Even he couldn't do it.
He could nurture Princess Cang Die to become the empress and then nurture Goudan 'er. Then, he would use his brain to settle the relationship between the two of them. This way, the Canglan Empire would belong to Goudan' er. When the time came, he would have fulfilled his promise to Goudan 'er and helped him realize his wish.
"My ambition doesn't lie here. If you hadn't been so overbearing back then, I'm sure we would have had a pleasant cooperation! Now, if you become the empress, I will support you and hand over your father's murderer for you to deal with! "
Princess Cang Die didn't waver in the slightest when she heard the first half of the sentence. However, when she heard that Cang Hun would be handed over to her for her to deal with, her eyes lit up.
Chu Rui discovered that Princess Cang Die's temperament had changed! She had gone from being a carefree princess with extraordinary talent to gradually developing into an iron-blooded empress!
Princess Cang Die took away Cang Hun, whose cultivation had been crippled. Then, she became Empress Cang Die. Although she was still very young, her temperament was gradually approaching that of an empress. With the support of Prime Minister Hua Ling and the empire's first general, especially Chu Rui's support, her position was very stable. Not a single voice of opposition could be heard. For a woman to become empress, there was no opposition at all. This was simply inconceivable.
Everything was on the right track. Chu Rui also found the soldiers of Luo City who had been implicated and imprisoned when he entered the national treasury to detoxify himself and recover his strength.
When a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to the heavens!
In the eyes of the soldiers of Canglan City, these ten thousand people from Luo City were country bumpkins. Because of Chu Rui, they became the most powerful group of people. This was especially true for Goudan 'er. Now, even if he walked sideways in Canglan City, no one dared to gossip.
He gave Goudan 'er the Golden Armor, Golden Sword, and a few secret manuals of the Cang family's founding emperor, Cang Mo. Then, he went to the Canglan Emperor's treasury and used heavenly treasures to open up all the meridians in Goudan' er's body, increasing his cultivation. Now, Goudan 'er had reached the maximum level of 100 in a single bound. Although his foundation was not stable, his strength was already very good. After some experience, he would be able to stabilize it.
His first wish was to become stronger. His second wish was to eat until he was full. Chu Rui had already fulfilled these two wishes for Goudan 'er. As for his third wish, to find a wife, there was still a long way to go. Because of him, who knew how many young ladies from officials' families, even the princesses of princes and the daughters of the Canglan Emperor, wanted to marry this young man who had become the empire's rising star. However, Goudan 'er, who had never faced such a situation, was scared away. It would probably take some time for such a simple young man to accept all of this.
