The old man looked at the dusty Zhennan Army and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you have tried your best! This is not your fault. If it is, it is the shame of Emperor Hongyuan. If he hadn't demoted you to remote South Vietnam,
The enemy troops also dare not attack."
A woman next to him said: "Yes, if the emperor hadn't condoned the traitors and framed the loyal ministers, we wouldn't have lost so miserably. So all this was caused by Emperor Hongyuan, and he is the culprit."
Others said angrily: "And this culprit actually abandoned us and hid with his prince, prince, grandson, and a bunch of traitorous ministers. Is he worthy of being our emperor?"
"He is not worthy at all. In my opinion, His Highness King Li is worthy." The old man said loudly.
Chu Xuanchen said hurriedly: "Everyone, please don't talk nonsense."
The old man said angrily: "His Royal Highness, what nonsense is this? You were the late emperor's only legitimate son and the only heir. It was Emperor Hongyuan who murdered the late emperor and took away the throne that originally belonged to you. This throne
It’s yours to begin with, what can’t you say?”
"Yes! Emperor Hongyuan, an old thief, should return the throne to His Highness."
"Now that this old thief has run away, he is no longer worthy of being an emperor and leading the people of Chu State. His Highness Prince Li has fought bloody battles for the Chu State for many years. Thanks to him, our Chu State has not been invaded by foreign enemies.
He is certainly the worthy heir to the throne."
"Not only that, His Highness Li Wang and Concubine Li are also charitable and caring for the world. We all support His Highness Li Wang as emperor, and we only recognize His Highness Li Wang!"
"Yes, we only recognize His Highness Prince Li, and we don't recognize anyone except His Highness!"
"I don't recognize anyone except His Highness!"
As the people spoke, they clenched their fists and raised their hands, and everyone was filled with excitement.
They don't care who the current emperor is, they only know that Emperor Hongyuan betrayed them, and they only know that it was His Highness Prince Li who saved their lives in times of crisis.
For them, whoever saves their lives is their reborn parent, and of course they will support Chu Xuanchen.
Seeing everyone supporting him so much, Chu Xuanchen burst into tears.
He looked at Yun Ruoyue, and the two looked at each other happily.
It turns out that people really have a strong balance in their hearts, and they all know how you treat them.
He looked at everyone and solemnly promised: "Folks and people, thank you for your support. Don't worry, I promise you that one day when I am around, I will protect you and will never let you go."
No matter how others bully you, from now on, I will work hard to let everyone live a good life, so that everyone can have enough food and clothing, and no longer have to live a life of displacement and fear."
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness." The people were greatly encouraged after hearing these words.
Although they have suffered a lot, they are full of hope at this moment.
Initially, when the coalition forces came in and started massacring them, they despaired.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, His Highness Prince Li fought in, defeated the coalition forces, and won the victory.
None of them expected King Li to be so powerful.
Now, their lives finally have hope and they no longer have to worry.

After talking to the people, Chu Xuanchen was afraid that Feng Lingtian would come back again, so he sent 30,000 Zhennan troops to garrison Yizhou City.
At the same time, he also asked the people and soldiers to collect the bodies of the massacred Chu people, and then bury the people properly.
Then, he asked the soldiers to continue making firearms in case of emergency.
Finally, he took the remaining 20,000 Zhennan troops and quickly rushed to Shengjing City.
Because Shengjing City is in a mess now, he has to clean up the mess quickly!
In this way, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue led the Zhennan Army straight to Shengjing City.
Late at night, their team finally arrived at Shengjing City and arrived in front of the city gate.
At this time, the lights in front of the city gate had already been turned off, and everything was pitch black, so dark that you couldn't even see your fingers if you stretched out your hand.
When Chu Xuanchen's team came forward with torches, they saw that there was no defender at the gate of Shengjing City, and it looked very desolate.
Seeing this, everyone looked confused.
You know that the enemy is about to invade, but why is there no defender at the gate of the city?
Doesn't he want to resist anymore?
While everyone was stunned, a shrinking and respectful voice suddenly came from the city tower, "Welcome to Prince Lingtian and the coalition forces."
Hearing this, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue looked at each other, both of them looking confused.
The others also looked up at the city tower in confusion, and saw a guarding general standing there with his head lowered and trembling all over.
At this time, the general held a piece of paper in his hand. He stared at the paper in his hand tightly, and was so frightened that he did not even dare to raise his head.
He didn't look up, so he didn't realize that the people underneath were not the coalition forces, but Chu Xuanchen and the others.
Chu Xuanchen recognized it at a glance. This was Wang Guang, the general guarding the west gate of Shengjing City. He was also the person who blocked him from going to Xueyue Kingdom last time.
Just when everyone was stunned, Wang Guang trembled again and said: "Prince Lingtian, I am... I am Wang Guang, the general who defends the city of Chu State. I would like to represent all the adults of our country and the people of Shengjing City.
, I specially handed over a letter of surrender to Prince Lingtian. Please rest assured, Prince, we will open the city gate for the Prince later. I just... I just hope that after the Prince enters the city, he will never massacre the people of our Chu Kingdom.
Officials and people must be loyal to the prince..."
