Qiu Qingqing's dirty hands and blood-stained sleeves contrasted sharply with Qingge's white and slender wrists. She raised her head and looked at Qingge curiously with her bright eyes: "Empress, you won't sell us out.
, right?”
The practitioners from Dongzhou were gathered not far away, their eyes full of complexity, but they were waiting for Qingge's answer.
This country is completely different from other independent places. Every cultivator has the belief in the Empress in his heart.
It was difficult for them to accept being abandoned by their own beliefs.
Painful, collapsed, heartbroken... Qingge lowered her eyes without saying a word, and glanced at the divine troops outside: "Tell your master, anyone who offends our Dongzhou will be killed without mercy."
Qingge held Qiu Qingqing's hand and walked slowly towards the interior of Dongzhou. After a few steps, she stopped and looked back at the Dongzhou people who were still in a daze: "Why don't you come over?"
The practitioners looked at each other, not knowing what they meant, but in the next moment, they followed the song in unison.
Xu Wen, wearing a precious flute, followed Ye Qingcheng. He looked around and then laughed.
The charm of the empress is almost unmatched in the realm of gods.
It was clearly a dead end, a desperate situation, but he just felt that those bare hands could shake the heaven and the earth.
The God's Domain troops really didn't dare to take action. The reason why they dared to bully the cultivators in Dongzhou was simply to use the lord formation in Dongzhou to confine the energy of this land. Even the cultivators' Dantian and the energy in their true essence would be destroyed.
Devour it.
Therefore, within a short period of time after the Lord's formation was broken, the strength of the Dongzhou cultivators was not yet sufficient to challenge the Divine Realm troops.
Qingge walked all the way towards the Night God Palace in the Death Domain. She saw too many panicked cultivators. This time, the blow was devastating.
That time when the Divine Realm and Dongzhou fought, although the people of Dongzhou were caught up in troubled times and strife, they still had high morale and high aspirations, waiting to accompany the empress to fight to the end.
This time, it was the 'Empress' who abandoned them and sold them ruthlessly. Everyone in Dongzhou had resentment in their hearts.
How could their beloved empress do such a thing?
From then on, male slaves and female prostitutes, and the people of Dongzhou were trampled under the feet of cultivators from other independent places, and they could never hold their heads up.
Qingge walked down the long street, she was already prepared to receive those scoldings.
It was because she failed to protect the Dongzhou people, and because she ignored the potential danger! Some rough men in civilian clothes stopped in front of Qingge, with fierce looks in their eyes, as if they wanted to eat people.
Qingge looked over indifferently.
Suddenly, one of the middle-aged rude men approached Qingge.
Liu Yaner's blade was slightly unsheathed and she looked at the incoming man coldly.
Qing Ge patted Liu Yan'er's shoulder, and Liu Yan'er frowned before putting the Waning Moon Knife back into its sheath.
Qing Ge looked at these people calmly. Behind the dozens of rough men, there were more and more people in Dongzhou, including children, women and children, newly built adults, and young beauties.
Their eyes were filled with too much emotion, and they only stared at Qingge, the empress they once loved and respected.
Qing Ge closed her eyes, her fingertips trembled slightly, and the corners of her lips curled into a bitter smile.
It's clearly evening and dusk, it's autumn, so why is it as bone-chillingly cold as the twelfth lunar month of winter?
Qiu Qingqing lowered her head and looked at Qingge's hand. Qingge was holding her, and she could feel the subtle trembling.
It turns out... the Empress is not as strong as the legend says... The middle-aged man in the lead knelt on one knee and clenched his fists: "We pay our respects to Empress Dong, long live the Empress."
Then I saw everyone kneeling down devoutly, and a huge crowd surrounded the Qingge, filling the whole street.
Liu Yan'er, Long Shitian and others gradually turned from tense and cold expressions to surprised and overjoyed expressions.
Qingge slowly opened her eyes and looked around. The devout people were all kneeling on the ground. They might have resentments in their hearts. They had been angry a few days ago. At this moment when they saw the empress
, they saluted as usual.
The middle-aged man said: "Empress, I don't know what happened to make you sell Dongzhou, but since we have chosen you, we will continue on this path."
Voices erupted from the crowd.
"Once I am the Empress of Dongzhou, I will always be the Empress of Dongzhou. Even if the empress asks me to work as a slave for the people of the God's Domain, I will accept it. I got the identity tag of Dongzhou myself through all the hard work. Even if I die here
In this land, I also loved the Empress and Dongzhou."
"I don't regret it, and I don't blame the Empress. I'm just a little sad..." "Empress, if you want to sell it, we will be willing to work for those pigs and dogs in God's Domain, as long as you nod.
.
If you have any secrets or difficulties, just tell us and we will protect you at all costs."
"You are right, we, the king of Dongzhou, cannot be bullied by outsiders.
Empress, even if it means death, you will let us know clearly that we will not be afraid of death!"
"..." Qing Ge stood in the dense crowd, and the cool autumn wind blew in her face, blowing away the sorrow between her brows and the haze in her heart. Her pale lips broke into a graceful smile, and her eyebrows were
Becomes softer for a moment.
Miss Xiao Jiu secretly wiped away her tears, while Liu Yan'er and others' eyes also turned red.
People in front and behind the long street were waiting for the Queen's answer.
Qingge wiped the Mingwang sword, then pointed to the sky and said in a deep voice: "The sword is there, Dongzhou is here."
Fierce cheers erupted from the crowd.
Qingge said: "I have never abandoned you."
The young reckless man choked and said: "I have already said that the Empress will not abandon us. Look, the Empress is here now.
The empress must have been bullied by them before and was tricked by them."
"Our Eastern Continent is prospering day by day. We have rituals to worship the heavens and destiny meetings. The empress is in the limelight. Those people must be jealous of our empress."
"..." Qiu Qingqing laughed: "We must follow the Empress and protect Dongzhou. In the vast world, only Dongzhou is our home, and we only recognize the Empress as our king!"
"The world is so big, only Dongzhou is our home!"
"We only recognize the Queen as our king."
Qingge is confused.
Not just her, Liu Yan'er, Gu Long's remnant soul... were all surprised.
I thought it was a difficult matter, but the difficult aspect was the hatred of the people of Dongzhou.
Water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
The "love the people as sons" that Qingge had accumulated over a long period of hard work was destroyed in an instant. It is not easy to eliminate the anger and hatred and re-establish the trust relationship between the king, his subjects and the people.
But what did they see?
The bustling Dongzhou people on the long street, whether male or female, all have bright lights in their eyes.
Qingge looked at those smiling faces, the fire of fighting spirit was rekindled, and the blood in her body was no longer cold.
