After a full hour, Ning Yuke's speech finally came to an end amidst passionate voices.
It can be seen from the crowd's reaction that her speech has achieved the desired effect very well.
After all, it is not easy for these illiterate people to listen quietly for an hour. It is even more difficult to make them understand and be deeply affected.
Therefore, Ning Yuke's "public speech" was undoubtedly a perfect completion of the "master's task".
It's just that Wei Changtian himself did not celebrate the success with her or give her some "master's rewards" in time, but he has long since disappeared.
"Where is Mr. Wei?"
Walking back to the Golden Palace under the glow of the setting sun, Ning Yuke asked the little eunuch beside her: "Have you left already?"
"Back, back to Your Majesty..."
The young eunuch stuttered in his answer: "Master Wei returned to his residence a quarter of an hour ago."
"knew."
There was no trace of disappointment on Ning Yuke's face, she just nodded calmly.
"Go back to the palace."
"..."
Soon, under the escort of more than a hundred mounted guards, the golden carriage slowly drove away from the city wall and moved towards the Weiyang Palace.
Most of the people around have not dispersed yet, and they are standing still at this moment, gathering around both sides of the road to watch the excitement.
Although Ning Yuke cannot be seen in person, it is a rare thing to see the driver in person.
"Long live the Queen!!"
Suddenly, someone shouted first.
These words were like lighting the fuse of a dynamite barrel, causing the surrounding atmosphere to suddenly heat up.
"Long live the Queen!"
"Long live Shu!!"
"Down with Ning Yongnian!!"
"Only Her Majesty the Queen is worthy of being the emperor of Daning!!"
"..."
The common people's level of education is not high, so naturally they cannot shout out words such as "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", so they can only use the simplest language to express their excitement at the moment.
In just a few breaths, the people who were blocked on both sides of the road knelt down again. Looking around, the whole street was like this from south to north.
Of course, not everyone is loyal to Ning Yuke, and most people are just following the crowd.
After all, others were kneeling, so it would be too abrupt if I didn't.
But even so, this kneeling will definitely affect their choice between the two "emperors".
This is the power of "collective".
"interesting......"
Inside the carriage, Qingxian glanced out through the gap in the curtains and shook his head with a half-smile.
Ning Yuke didn't know what she meant by "interesting", so she just said slowly:
"Senior Qingxian, I have already asked the master about Tianling."
"Oh? Really?"
Qingxian immediately looked away and looked over: "What did he say?"
"The master said that it is up to me to make the decision on this matter."
"Haha...then are you willing?"
"..."
Without much hesitation, Ning Yuke quickly gave the answer that he had already told Wei Changtian.
"Senior, I am willing to try."
"good!"
After the brief surprise, an uncontrollable joy appeared in Qingxian's eyes.
It can be seen that she is really excited at this moment.
"Ning Nuwa, don't worry! I will never treat you badly, let alone break my promise!"
"As long as you are willing to transform into a spirit, I can wait no matter how long it takes! And I will definitely not force you!"
"If you really want to be the emperor of Daning, then you can be the emperor for a few years or more, it doesn't matter!"
"Just don't forget what you just said!"
"..."
You can wait for more than ten years.
Perhaps it's because Qingxian has lived for eight hundred years and really doesn't care about the situation of just ten years.
Or maybe it's because she's afraid that if she pushes too hard, Ning Yuke will regret it.
In short, it can be said that Qingxian has no restrictions on Ning Yuke's spirit transformation time at all.
However, the latter had already planned for this.
"Senior Qingxian, you know that Ning Yongnian and I have a grudge against each other."
"I must avenge this revenge, so I will never turn into a spirit before that."
"But if one day I really get my revenge, someone will have to sit on the empty throne."
"If the master needs me to sit in that seat then, senior will have to wait a little longer."
"And if the master doesn't need me to sit there, or if there is a more suitable candidate...then I will transform into a spirit as soon as possible."
"I wonder what you think of this?"
"..."
Ning Yuke had actually preset the conditions for turning into a spirit for himself, which Qingxian didn't expect.
After she pondered for a long time, she suddenly asked a somewhat inexplicable question.
"Ning Nuwa, I know that Wei Changtian saved you, and I also know that he helped you become the King of Shu."
"But... you are a smart man. You should know that he is not doing this all for you, but more for himself."
"To put it bluntly, he is just using you."
"It's understandable that you want to repay him, but how can you go so far? Even to regard him as your master?"
"I don't quite understand."
"..."
The carriage moved forward steadily, and the shouts of the people outside the sedan continued to get louder and louder.
Faced with Qingxian's question, Ning Yuke just smiled and shook her head, and the intricately crafted Nine Phoenix Golden Crown in her hair also swayed slightly.
"Senior, if you don't understand, you just don't understand."
"Master, it will be fine if he understands."
...
...
That night.
Only three hours had passed since Ning Yuke's public speech, and all 60,000 Shu troops broke out of camp and set off for Guanghan County with great momentum.
Liang Zhen served as the commander-in-chief of this battle as the General of the Northern Conquest. From this temporary title, it is not difficult to see that Ning Yuke or Wei Changtian's goal was not just to "defend Shuzhou".
Liang Qin, who had rekindled his "fighting spirit", also left with the army, but Wei Changtian had to set off two days later.
The reason why he had to wait for two more days in Shuzhou City was of course because he had other business to do.
On the one hand, it is to integrate the power of Tianluo Sect and some Freemasonry, and then form a "tactical team" with "a small number of people, but a very high average combat power".
On the other hand, he wanted to see Shen Ran again.
Wei Changtian had previously asked Ning Yuke to bring a message to Shen Ran so that the latter could have time to find him.
As a result, after so many days, there was no movement from this son of heaven.
According to Ning Yuke, he and Gui Peian meditated inside the house all day long and never even left the palace.
Good guy, are the four sentences of Hengqu so powerful? I have been meditating on them for five or six days and still can’t understand them?
Or do these two people have other ideas? Are they deliberately not coming to see me?
Wei Changtian couldn't guess and didn't bother to guess anymore.
He was about to go to Guanghan to command the war. How could he have time to care about Shen Ran's affairs then?
So no matter what Shen Ran and Gui Pei'an thought, he was ready to take the initiative tomorrow and go directly to talk to them.
This wasn't a big problem originally.
After all, it's best to reach an agreement, and if you can't agree, you won't lose anything.
but......
"..."
"Shen Ran? The Holy Son of Kuixing Academy?"
In the study, Xu Suisui's eyes widened: "Isn't he handsome?!"
"Uh... not bad."
Wei Changtian first replied against his will, and then praised him sincerely: "But he has a good temperament."
