The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 144 Yuanxiu Academy

Lord Mu: You've escaped a calamity!

The brown-skinned man couldn't stand this humiliation and immediately raised his hand, ready to resort to violence.

The little girl wasn't afraid at all, and wiped her hands with disdain: "Just talk, don't curse people, okay? Who would want your lousy place?"

"Little bitch!"

Zheng Xun's face darkened, and he was about to make a move, but the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore. Two teenagers stood up almost at the same time, one slapping his hand away, and the other kicking him away.

The two guards the little girl brought were only halfway through their outstretched hands, when they looked bewildered at the brown-clad man lying on the ground.

Master Mu:!

He quickly shrank into the corner.

It wasn't that he was disloyal; it was just that this colleague was too reckless, and even if he wanted to save him, he couldn't.

Besides, he didn't want to save him.

The thought that this person was a member of the Brown Kingdom's delegation gave him a strange feeling that the Brown Kingdom was doomed.

The brown-clad man said bitterly, "Is this how you, the Great Yong, treat your guests?"

The waiter at Zhenwei Pavilion, whom he had approached, picked up a vase and weighed it in his hand: "The way of treating guests can only be used on guests. As for wolves with ill intentions, we usually choose to draw our swords."

Faced with the menacing gazes of the crowd, the brown-clad people finally belatedly felt fear.

He had never seen the people of Brown Country so protective of them, so he never expected such a scene to occur.

The mission was prepared to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, before they even started, they messed things up.

He shuddered at the thought of the Brown Kingdom's emperor's methods.

No, since things have come to this point, let's take a gamble!

Zheng Xun kept staring at him, and when she saw the anger on his face dissipate, she knew something must have happened.

Sure enough, the man's eyes darted around, and his attitude hardened again: "Is your Great Yong Dynasty planning to bully others by relying on your power?"

The young girl went all out, and with a flick of her lips, she blurted out a sarcastic remark: "That's impossible, after all, you're not human."

“Young lady, don’t be so harsh with your words, or you’ll never be able to get married. Oh, no, or maybe those cowards in Dayong just like someone like you,” he said, his lewd gaze sweeping over the girl from head to toe. “Why don’t you come back to the Brown Kingdom with me? I’ll teach you what a woman should be like.”

He spoke more and more fluently, and towards the end, the malice in his words was almost impossible to conceal.

He lay half-reclined on the ground, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and reached out his hand from above, making a stroking motion.

The people next to the little girl pulled her behind them. The little girl pulled a dagger from her waist and leaned out, ready to teach the brown-skinned man a lesson.

A woman pressed her head down and shoved her behind her back, saying, "Young lady, don't be impulsive."

After saying that, she snatched the knife from her hand: "Sweetie, let Auntie do it."

At this moment, Zheng Xun stopped her and looked at the brown-skinned man: "Are you trying to provoke us?"

The question sounded like a question, but her tone was one of absolute certainty.

"You Brown Kingdom are quite interesting. Are you trying to sacrifice yourselves to give the Brown Kingdom an excuse to criticize Dayong? Or are you trying to find a legitimate reason to start a war in the future?"

In the original future of this world, things did indeed develop in this way.

There were several unassuming elderly people in this delegation. They were all sacrifices who came voluntarily. The Brown Kingdom promised their families wealth and safety, and they left their lives here.

At that time, the Brown Kingdom will be able to use the pretext of avenging the envoy to start a war, and they will become the righteous army.

Zheng Xun came to Zhenwei Pavilion today because she had been keeping an eye on the system's messages.

She couldn't know what the people of Brown Country were thinking, but she could learn about them indirectly through live streaming.

It's not easy to sift through so much information to find what you need, so she's determined to bring this matter to the forefront today.

The Brown Kingdom can use human lives to fabricate a reason for war and to incite public sentiment, so why can't the Great Yong Kingdom?

Once their intentions are exposed and their malice brought into the open, the emotions of the people of Dayong will naturally be stirred up.

Fortunately, the opponent was very cooperative.

Upon hearing Zheng Xun's words, the woman who had just taken the knife quickly snatched the scabbard from the little girl's hand, put the dagger back in her sleeve, and then put it away.

Little girl: ...

That was her dagger.

Zheng Xun slowly walked up to the Brown Man: "However, you seem to be overestimating yourself. You alone want to save your life and become the catalyst for the conflict... you're not up to the task."

"What are you...?"

Lord Mu's pupils constricted, and he rushed in front of him with extraordinary speed, covering his mouth tightly.

Zheng Xun said quietly, "Why must Lord Mu stop him? I am very curious about what he has to say."

Lord Mu cursed his incompetent teammate countless times in his heart, but he couldn't just stand by and do nothing...

It's really hard to be a subject of the Brown Kingdom.

"Your Highness, you are so magnanimous..." Lord Mu's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, until he could barely utter the words.

He was a normal person, so he knew that Brown Country was completely in the wrong in this matter.

He was too embarrassed to offer advice because he still had his pride.

But as expected of a liability, he was young and strong. After breaking free from Lord Mu's grasp, he continued his barrage: "Just a princess, what are you afraid of, Lord Mu? Actually, I think you're not bad either. Although you're young, why not marry into our Brown Kingdom..."

His purpose has been exposed, but so what? Can the Dayong people stop the Heguo people from courting death?

Let them talk all they want; once the Brown Kingdom wins, they'll have the final say on how things turn out.

The onlookers grew increasingly angry, shouting and cursing incessantly. Some impulsively wanted to beat him up, but were stopped by those around them.

At this moment, the Jingji Guard, having received the news, finally arrived. Pushing through the crowd, they heard the smug voice of the brown-clad man.

“Getting angry won’t help. I’m an envoy, and you wouldn’t dare kill me. If you could just beat me up, that would be even better, and I would have achieved my goal.”

Just as the guards were about to reprimand him, they saw Zheng Xun and quickly bowed.

Zheng Xun looked at the brown-skinned man and gently shook his head: "I already told you you're not heavy enough."

Then, she looked at Lord Mu indifferently: "You should know what kind of person he is, right? Are you sure you still want to protect him?"

Her gaze was colder than ever before, as if Lord Mu's choice would determine his future fate.

Lord Mu smiled bitterly. He didn't want to protect him, but he was a subject of the Brown Kingdom...

No matter how bad Brown Country is, it is still his roots and his home.

His father taught him from a young age to be loyal to the emperor, serve the country, and repay the court, and he carried this ideal throughout his life.

But this time, he felt more lost than ever before. He wanted to protect the people of Dayong, but his colleagues, the court, and the royal family seemed to be constantly betraying him.

He can't protect anyone, let alone realize his ideals.

He closed his eyes, just about to speak, but his incompetent teammate spoke first: "Lord Mu, you have to protect me!"

His eyes darted around, and he whispered to Lord Mu, "You're of higher rank than me. If we work together, we'll have accomplished our mission! When we conquer Dayong, you can choose the best girls and treasures first..."

Master Mu:......

He is a normal person, and often, this is the source of much of his suffering.

His forehead veins throbbed, and he snapped, unable to contain himself any longer, "Shut up!"

"What, you're scared? Coward! Wimp! Softie! That's all you'll ever be. We are the Emperor's subjects, yet you spend all your time thinking about those lowly commoners! Who do you think you are? You should just die..."

It only took Lord Mu a few words for his expression to change from anger to calm.

Seeing his restrained expression, Zheng Xun gestured to the Jingji Guards who were quietly waiting for instructions: "Lord Mu is not well, help him to rest."

Lord Mu was surprised that she didn't hold a grudge against him even after all this.

Alas, the princess was a good princess, but unfortunately she belonged to the Great Yong Dynasty.

Two guards from the capital immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lord Mu from the left and right.

Lord Mu, a civil official, was no match for two pairs of iron clamps. He wanted to say something, but a guard from the capital swiftly silenced him by pressing his pressure point.

After finishing his task, the guard from the capital region looked at Zheng Xun expectantly: "Princess, I'm really amazing! Look at me! Look at me! Next time you patrol the capital region, please go easy on him!"

Zheng Xun didn't catch his gaze and continued, "With your brain, the most you can think of is beating you up."

She took off a jade pendant from her waist, threw it on the ground, and crushed it fiercely: "My imperial gift has been stolen by him. Since the Brown Kingdom can't control its own subjects, let the Great Yong Kingdom do a good job of controlling them. Send the person to Lord Liao. Oh, and make sure he doesn't die, lest the Brown Kingdom blame the Great Yong Kingdom for slander."

Those who had heard of Liao Hongsheng's reputation all shuddered.

They all believed that the princess could easily deal with this person with a flick of her finger, but the other party was ungrateful and insisted on provoking them.

Are you satisfied now? Now that you've fallen into the hands of that ruthless Lord Liao, you can experience the process of being driven mad, then regaining your senses, and then being driven mad again.

The man didn't know what the words "Lord Liao" meant, but before he could even shout, he was dragged away.

Zheng Xun looked at the people around him, his smile returning: "Everyone, let's disperse now that this is over."

After everyone had left, Zheng Xun looked at the two guards from the capital region who were holding Lord Mu captive: "Thank you both for your hard work. I have some private matters to discuss with Lord Mu."

The guard from the capital region, who had just applied pressure points, was somewhat disappointed. Reluctantly, he raised his pinky finger and made two messy circles with his hand before releasing the pressure points for Lord Mu, trying to attract Zheng Xun's attention.

Master Mu: Is anyone speaking up for me?

Zheng Xun: ?

Waving flower hands?

She tentatively read out, "Odd changes, even remains the same?"

Although the guard didn't know why the princess was acting so strangely, he was sure she had her reasons for doing so!

He clapped excitedly: "What a wonderful poem!"

Zheng Xun: ...

Forget it.

Her gaze softened considerably as she looked at him; after all, she was always more forgiving of fools.

Meanwhile, the commander of the Imperial Guard was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "It's all settled."

Even after Zheng Xun sent him away, he still had a smile on his face.

After the door closed, Zheng Xun looked at Lord Mu.

Lord Mu had regained his composure. He straightened his slightly disheveled clothes and asked in a complicated tone, "What does the princess want to say?"

"Does Lord Mu know why the people of Dayong are so protective of Dayong?"

Lord Mu smiled wryly: "Because officials are honest and love the people, and emperors care about the common people..."

"Your Excellency is a good official; this is probably the scene you wish to see."

"Yes, if only the Brown Kingdom could..."

"You know, the Brown Kingdom can never become the Great Yong Kingdom. Your Brown Kingdom's royal family and nobles are rotten to the core. As the saying goes, the people below are also taught to be morally corrupt and worthless."

Zheng Xun's gaze was distant: "Or rather, there is only one Great Yong."

The nature of the powerful is to exploit, and the essence of monarchical power is to leech blood. The Great Yong Dynasty was so rare that it resembled an ideal country in the writings of a dreamer.

Perhaps that's why she came into being.

Lord Mu was well aware of this principle, so he could only remain silent.
