Chapter 292.2
So, I have found a wise ruler for everyone!
Mo Yuyan continued to speak loudly: The Great Xia Emperor is the wise ruler I have found for all of you! As long as everyone joins Great Xia and becomes its citizens, you will surely live a happy and peaceful life!
Everyone was tempted!
They had all witnessed the development of Great Xia.
They had also seen the lives of the people of Great Xia and to say they werent envious would be a lie.
Back when the Great Luo dynasty was still in power, they dreamed of becoming citizens of Great Xia, taking their families to Great Xia. Unfortunately, their dreams were crushed by the governments suppression.
Lady Mo, are you serious? Can we really become citizens of Great Xia? an excited citizen asked.
Mo Yuyans face showed a hint of unease as she replied, Of course its true. Why would I joke about such a matter? Hurry and raise the flag to show Great Xia our sincerity!
Raise the flag quickly! the crowd shouted in unison.
And so, one by one, golden flags were erected and placed atop the city walls.
These were the military flags of Great Xia. When Great Xias army conquered a city, they would plant this flag on the city walls to signify their victory.
Now, they were doing just that.
Even though the Great Xia army hadnt come to attack, they voluntarily surrendered.
Although the flags were not the original ones from Great Xia but rather hastily sewn together by them, the sentiment was what mattered.
After witnessing this scene, Mo Yuyan was very satisfied. She stayed in the territory of Great Luo for a few days, spreading the word so that more cities would raise the flag of Great Xia.
During this time, Mo Yuyan made frequent public appearances.
However, the Taoist Sect dared not make a move.
After all, if they carelessly provoked the Great Grandmaster behind her, the entire Taoist Sect would be in big trouble.
A person with backing can walk the world without fear.
Seeing that the cities of Great Luo were raising the flag of Great Xia and the people of Great Luo were considering themselves as citizens of Great Xia, Mo Yuyan was finally satisfied. She then went to Great Xia to meet with Lin Beifan and report the matter.
Lin Beifans face was ashen: Good for you, Mo Yuyan, daring to act first without my consent and report later! Youve dumped all the troubles of Great Luo on me without even asking my opinion. Do you even consider my authority?
Mo Yuyan felt guilty for not consulting the parties involved before taking action, which was indeed somewhat underhanded.
So, she tried to appease him in a gentle tone: Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Although what I did was somewhat improper, at the end of the day, I was expanding your territory. Why be so angry?
You dont know anything!
Lin Beifan said irritably: Great Luo has been plagued by years of war, the people are destitute, and resources are scarce! Moreover, the people are unruly and hard to govern! If I were to take over Great Luo, it would cost a great deal to restore order!
For instance, there are over twenty million people there. To keep them at peace, I must provide enough food to appease twenty million people! Do you have any idea how much food that is? How many countries can sustain such consumption?
If handled poorly, the entire Empire could be dragged down, and national power weakened!
This is a hot potato youve thrown at me without even asking. Do you think I should be angry or not?
Mo Yuyan felt even more guilty, but with a thick-skinned attitude, she said, Anyway, Ive already done it, and the whole world knows about it. You have to agree even if you dont want to! Besides, this was also the intention of the senior behind me
Lin Beifan chuckled inwardly.
Daring to use my alias to threaten me!
Lin Beifan immediately retorted, I dont care who he is! Even if that senior of yours comes, I will not agree!
Mo Yuyan was utterly shocked!
Under the heavens, there actually was someone who wasnt afraid of the senior backing her!
That was incredibly bold!
Your Majesty, if you dont agree, then Ill have to call him out! Once the senior arrives, many things will become uncontrollable! Mo Yuyan said with a hint of threat, her voice stern but with an undertone of nervousness.
Go ahead and call him, Ill be waiting right here!
Im really going to call! The senior has a volatile temper and might come to deal with you!
Hurry up and call, dont dilly-dally like a kid!
Im really going to call him!
Go ahead. Scream all you want. Even if you scream your throat sore I will not care!
In the end, Mo Yuyan didnt call her Senior.
Because she wasnt sure if she could actually summon the senior.
She was even more afraid that if she did manage to call the senior and he found out about her bluffing and deceiving people, it would displease him.
Alright, Your Majesty, as long as you handle this matter, Ill owe you a huge favor! As long as it doesnt go against the moral code of the rivers and lakes, Ill help you with anything. Is that enough? Mo Yuyan conceded.
Thats more like it!
Lin Beifan nodded: However, you owe me quite a few favors. Remember to repay all of them!
Mo Yuyan covered her face in embarrassment.
