Chapter 816 - 813: Too Utilitarian
Later, the Emperor of Daliang disregarded the lives of the common people, forcibly seizing medicinal materials from them, and ignoring the soldiers’ bloodshed and sacrifices. Due to personal animosity, he insisted on a life-and-death battle with the Jin Kingdom. It was the Princess of Zhen who saved the dying populace, stationed outside the city for several months without attacking... patiently persuading them to surrender.
The entire wounded soldiers’ camp was like boiling oil meeting hot water, and immediately exploded with activity. The soldiers all knelt down...
The vows to follow the Princess of Zhen to the death were unceasing.
Xiao Rongyan felt an uncontrollable surge in his heart, slowly stood up, and looked at Bai Qingyan, who had a solemn expression and deep eyes. He felt that Bai Qingyan had a bewitching ability to influence people, which was an extremely rare talent for a leader.
He guessed... the reason why the King of Zhen, Bai Weiting, claimed Bai Qingyan was a natural-born leader might be because Bai Qingyan had this talent.
But in Xiao Rongyan’s opinion, Bai Qingyan was not just a natural-born leader. Her vision and knowledge... if she truly became an emperor one day, she would also be a good ruler.
Furthermore, Bai Qingyan did not mention the Jin Kingdom or its emperor in her words, which clearly showed her intention to replace the Jin Kingdom.
Yue Shi, who was stirred by Bai Qingyan’s words and couldn’t help but almost joined the soldiers in shouting "Follow the Princess of Zhen to the death," secretly glanced at his master, who was smiling, and felt a hidden worry for him.
