Chapter 601: Chapter 601: If Even I Can’t Kill You, No One Else Can
In the end, Pei Shu’er stopped him.
"You punished the ringleader, made an example of them, and should trace the source to see who is truly behind this."
"Otherwise, you might fall into someone else’s trap."
Others looked towards Pei Shu’er, and she continued to explain.
"Now the numbers of the rebel army have significantly dwindled. If we drive these refugees out, they will have nowhere to go and might join the rebel army."
"Isn’t that just strengthening our enemies?"
Upon hearing this, the generals fell silent, realizing the reasoning was sound.
Even if not all the refugees joined the rebel army, as long as some do, it would be troublesome for them.
Commander Sun frowned, "Could it be people sent by Ye Kai?"
Pei Shu’er replied, "Some of them were indeed sent by Ye Kai, as Ye Kai surrounds himself with a few capable individuals."
"But some others infiltrated the refugees from the beginning, even using assumed identities."
These were not the most crucial points; the most crucial thing was that, secretly, a pair of eyes were fixed intently on her.
It seemed as if one careless move could cost her life.
Zhen Xu found this rather amusing, and his calm eyes carried a hint of a smile.
"I didn’t expect so many people want you dead."
Pei Shu’er smiled politely, "To be not envied is to be mediocre, thank you."
Zhen Xu laughed, the curve of his mouth exceedingly attractive.
"Even those who couldn’t kill me, others can certainly not kill you either; they don’t have the skill."
Although his words were harsh, Pei Shu’er strangely felt comforted.
Knowing that Zhen Xu, a significant character with a known name, couldn’t kill her, a mere pawn, how could these nameless bystanders have a chance?
Now she was an existence that even the heavens couldn’t erase.
With such a thought, she felt a bit joyfully relieved.
Chu Yu Jun said, "Then what about having these people confess?"
As she spoke, several generals responded promptly.
"They’ve already confessed, they’re from the Earth Evil Pavilion."
Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan remained silent. As they suspected there was an "Chu Yu Jun" mole among them, it wasn’t appropriate to discuss important matters further.
Chu Yu Jun pondered for a long time, then looked softly at Tang Zan, her gaze seemingly electric.
"War King, do you think we should bring people to annihilate this Earth Evil Pavilion, otherwise its presence in the city is a constant threat."
Tang Zan was unmoved by her gentle look.
"The Earth Evil Pavilion must indeed be dealt with, but the thing is, its location is elusive, and no one knows where it is."
Pei Shu’er felt there was nothing wrong with what Tang Zan said; if he had said he didn’t want to move against the Earth Evil Pavilion now, that would have been the real strange thing.
His character was assertive, and with the Princess Consort having been repeatedly assassinated, it was impossible that he had no intention to move against the Earth Evil Pavilion.
If he said otherwise, it would arouse Chu Yu Jun’s suspicion.
Now, Pei Shu’er even suspected whether this Chu Yu Jun was a pawn placed here by Ye Kai.
However, the rebel army continued to suffer losses, if it were true, then Ye Kai and Chu Yu Jun were really ruthless.
Using so many lives for a performance.
For a moment, nothing was settled, when a guard came rushing in.
"Prince, Princess Consort, it’s not good, now over ten thousand young adults are surrounding the Prince Mansion, they are armed and seem menacing, very difficult to reason with."
Pei Shu’er was taken aback; wasn’t this a case of misfortunes never coming singly?
The refugee issue was yet unresolved, and now the city’s residents were stirring up trouble.
Pei Shu’er went out, Tang Zan’s expression was also grim.
Once outside, they saw these people were facing away from the General Mansion.
It seemed they weren’t here to cause trouble but rather to protect the General Mansion.
Upon hearing footsteps behind them, these people turned uniformly and, seeing Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan, knelt in unison.
"Greetings to the Princess Consort, greetings to the War King."
Evidently, they weren’t there to cause trouble.
The generals collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Shu’er tried to make her tone as gentle as possible.
"May I ask, why are you here?"
The people’s eyes were red, "We came on our own to protect the Princess Consort. The Princess Consort has been so kind to us, without her, we would’ve starved or died of illness long ago."
"Yet there are those whose consciences have been eaten by dogs, who keep troubling the Princess Consort, we will not allow her to be bullied any longer."
After saying this, the crowd behind shouted in unison.
"Protect the Princess Consort! Protect the Princess Consort!"
On hearing this, Pei Shu’er smiled, she had always favored two groups of people, one from the Deserted Mountain.
The other being from Lin State.
She could see the friendly glow in these people’s eyes, they truly valued her greatly, and their respect and admiration were not feigned.
Pei Shu’er’s lips curved.
"Thank you all for your kindness, everything I did for you was of my own free will, there’s no need for you to do this."
The bearded man leading them said, "We came of our own free will to protect the Princess Consort. We can’t let her be harmed, otherwise, what kind of people are we?"
"Exactly, the Princess Consort is our Princess Consort, she is Lin State’s blessing, we cannot allow her to suffer such grievances in Lin State."
After speaking, they stood in a row again, staring ahead with wide eyes.
Not to mention this moment, they wouldn’t even let a fly into the Prince Mansion.
Pei Shu’er’s heart warmed.
She smiled softly.
"If there is a time we need your help, we will send someone to find you. But right now, there are too many people at the General Mansion’s gate blocking the path of other residents."
Pei Shu’er smiled so gently that everyone was momentarily dazed.
"Alright, Princess Consort."
And then the people the others couldn’t handle were coaxed away by Pei Shu’er’s few words.
Before leaving, they left their addresses and names.
"Princess Consort, should there be a need, do send someone to find us."
Pei Shu’er looked at the over ten thousand people, her smile very sincere.
She bowed to them.
"I will definitely not forget all you heroes."
After those people left, Tang Zan sneered twice.
"They are talking nonsense, the Princess Consort is not theirs, she’s mine alone."
Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re even jealous over this small matter?"
Tang Zan hummed, wrapping his arm around Pei Shu’er’s waist.
"Let’s go, time to eat. I’m hungry."
After eating, Tang Zan sat at the table reading and constantly glanced at Pei Shu’er.
Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"
Tang Zan rubbed his hands, "Let’s go into the space."
At the mention of going into the space, Pei Shu’er felt a tingle at her scalp.
Tang Zan had too many tricks up his sleeve.
"No, I won’t go."
Yet in the end, she couldn’t withstand Tang Zan’s persistent coaxing, and dizzily entered the space again.
Before beauty, everyone is a fool.
