Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

A large-scale riot was suppressed in the capital. Hua Sijin, who was originally complacent, now huddled in her house in fear and dared not go out.

More than half of the officials' residences were destroyed by the people. Those officials who were usually high and mighty now became quails huddled in a pen, and each of them dared to go out only under the escort of soldiers.

On the third day of the riot, most soldiers couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. They couldn't kill everyone, and they were actually the ones who witnessed the miracle that day.

On the fifth day, a sudden cold wind blew and it started to rain, but it was soon followed by sleet.

The people, who had been quite well behaved, suddenly rushed to the city gates again in panic and anger. The city gates remained locked. The battle between the people and the soldiers broke out on a large scale for the first time, and countless people in the capital were killed and injured.

In the inn, Lan Sheng folded his arms and looked at the farce in the distance, with no more contempt in his eyes.

In another room, Mo Lin was just wiping his sword with a cloth, ignoring the noise outside.

The news that should have been released had already been released during the chaos. Emperor Gao Wen completely locked down the city, and not even a mouse could get out.

We are not stupid, so all we can do now is wait quietly and see how Chu Wen handles this panic.

"Hey! We are all people who have sinned against the goddess. It would be a bad idea for us to just sit here and wait for death, right?!" Mo Lin's door was pushed open by Lan Sheng.

He didn't look up and continued to mechanically wipe the accessories. In his peripheral vision, Lan Sheng had already put on his cloak.

"What's your plan? Go ask for help from King Gu, to whom you've taken refuge?" Mo Lin finally sheathed his sword and raised his head sarcastically, "They're desperately searching for Qiao Shinian in the city right now."

Lan Sheng plopped down across from Mo Lin, hatred in his eyes. "I originally thought Wen Jiu was the crazy one, but I didn't expect the craziest and most reckless one was actually Qiao Shinian. I used to think she was a weak girl who couldn't stand the sight of blood, seeing her hesitant and soft-hearted!"

"Yes, she never likes the sight of blood." Mo Lin looked up at Lan Sheng: "This time, you just made one move, and they directly blocked all your escape routes, regardless of the consequences, paving the way for Wen Jiu.

Now, in the whole world, only Wen Jiu can calm down this riot.

As for the divine punishment she spoke of, perhaps it has already arrived. We all knew she was no ordinary human, yet we remained cautious. Who could have guessed she was the source of all these miracles?

"You really didn't expect this?" Lan Sheng sneered. "I know that when she suddenly disappeared in Zhou Kingdom, your reaction at that time was not like this."

"However, who says that Wen Jiu must be the winner of this war? Chu Wen is the culprit. This disaster was caused by Chu Wen. The people of the world should hate Chu Wen, the powerful, and the royal family. It is only a matter of time before they are condemned by the entire world.

By then, the matter will have been settled, and she can’t come back and destroy everyone in the world.”

Mo Lin stood up and looked at Lan Sheng: "It's time to prepare for battle."

In the palace

"His Highness has been refusing to eat or drink these past few days and doesn't allow any of us to get close to him." Inside Xiangyun Palace, Emperor Gao Wen looked at Wen Jiu who was sitting on the ground.

He walked up to him and kicked him down: "How could I have a son as cowardly as you!"

He looked at Wen Jiu angrily, bent down, grabbed Wen Jiu's clothes and pulled him up: "Look at what you look like now! Disheveled and dirty! You have lost my dignity. Are you still worthy of being my Prince Chu Wen?"

Wen Jiu raised his eyes to look at Emperor Gao Wen, his gaze calm, and said, "Father, isn't this the result you wanted? Why are you panicking?"

"I'm panicking? When have I ever been afraid?!" Emperor Gao Wen used angry words and expressions to cover up his fear and worry: "I just don't want outsiders to see my son so weak!"

Wen Jiu sneered and pulled the corner of his lips: "Father, you are jealous of me because I have the goddess's blessing and can go to the realm of gods after death, while you, as an emperor, cannot see the goddess's face and will be born, grow old, get sick and die like an ordinary person.

Isn't it your jealousy that caused all this?

So, you called me back to destroy me, to make me do dirty work, to be cursed and feared by the civil and military officials, and to be feared and hated by the people? And what is the purpose of the Mingjian Bureau? Don't you know better than me?"

"Nonsense! I don't want you to be a farming prince in Xingzhou! I want you to be well! That's why I summoned you to the capital. All this is for you.

Your brothers are in power. How will you survive in this world a hundred years from now? "

"Father, your voice is trembling. Are you scared?" Wen Jiu grinned, his eyes full of sarcasm. "Let me guess why you are so anxious to find me. Cheer me up."

Wen Jiu pushed Emperor Gao Wen's hand away, knelt on the ground with his head down, and said, "The people of the capital are about to revolt, right? Qiao Shinian is a goddess. The news of her divine punishment on the mortal world must have been spread by carrier pigeon at the time. You had no time to react, let alone stop it.

Therefore, within a month at most, this news will spread to all countries, and within a month and a half at most, Chu Wen will face a joint attack from all countries.

And what about Chu Wen at this time? The people were demoralized, and internal troubles were enough to destroy Chu Wen, the imperial family, and all the officials.

Not to mention fighting the enemy, there is not even time to stabilize the civil unrest.

More importantly, Xingzhou is my and her territory, if anyone in Xingzhou rebels..."

Wen Jiu smiled and raised his head, a look of gloating: "Father, you are finished. The Chuwen Empire that has lasted for hundreds of years is about to be destroyed in your hands. I wonder how you will face the ancestors of the Wen family after your death?"

"Are you crazy? You are the prince of Chu Wen! If anything happens to Chu Wen, you will be doomed too!" It was the first time that Emperor Gao Wen looked directly at Wen Jiu, and the first time that he showed his true emotions.

Wen Jiu's smile remained undimmed. "Father, I'm a madman, a madman who doesn't want a country or a home. Have you forgotten? How I threatened the Emperor of Zhou in the Zhou Kingdom? There's no escape. I'm going to die in the palace right now. What do you think will happen?"

"Crazy! You are absolutely crazy! Come, tie up Prince Yongle for me~!" Emperor Gao Wen dragged out the last word "Prince" with a long tremor. He was afraid. He was really afraid that Wen Jiu would die in the palace, which would only accelerate the demise of Chu Wen.

"Get out!" Wen Jiu simply glared at the eunuch who entered. He suppressed his smile, unsteadily stood up, and stared at Emperor Gao Wen. "Father, you should be more tactful. Asking for help should be done with the proper attitude. I like people who are sensible and obedient."

After saying that, Wen Jiu patted Emperor Gao Wen on the shoulder and walked outside to look at the sleet: "August, it's snowing, huh~"

"Your Highness! Please cheer up!"

A group of palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling outside, and everyone's face showed both expectation, admiration and fear for Wen Jiu.

"Come here, help me bathe and change clothes. I'm still hungry, so I'll ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some light food to fill my stomach."

After Wen Jiu finished speaking, he returned to the house and glanced at Emperor Gao Wen: "Father, have you thought it through? Do you think what I said is right?"

"You...you must stabilize the people's hearts!" Emperor Gao Wen looked at Wen Jiu. This was his compromise: "The Chuwen Kingdom cannot be destroyed in our hands!"

He has not been idle these days. First, when the people in the capital rioted, he understood the seriousness of the matter from the attitude of the soldiers. Maybe the soldiers will listen to him now, but if there is really severe cold weather in the future, the number of people rebelling in Chu Wen’s country will only increase, not decrease.

The belief in God began as early as when Wen Jiu was able to grow enough food to feed people. In the hearts of the people of Chu Wen, they were a country blessed by God.

Now, the royal family and the officials had offended the gods, and the goddess had brought down divine punishment. This was the goddess's clear statement that the royal family and the officials were unworthy of their positions. A new person, someone who could appease the gods, was needed to take charge of Chu Wen.

It doesn’t matter who comes, so who will be the lucky one?

Emperor Gao Wen did not dare to sleep too deeply these past few nights. He dismissed everyone, fearing that someone would sneak in while he was asleep to appease the wrath of God.

"Not only that, father, this is a good opportunity to unify the world and annex other countries. Don't you want to become the emperor of the world while you are alive?" Wen Jiu patted Emperor Gao Wen's shoulder and walked towards the inner room.

Emperor Gao Wen was stunned on the spot. He looked at Wen Jiu's back and smiled silently.

He had always wanted to be wary of Wen Jiu. He thought he was just being too suspicious, but now it seemed that this was how it should be!

All the words of weakness that Wen Jiu said before were not to be trusted.

Dominate the world!

Emperor Gao Wen suddenly felt the same ambition he had in his youth. If he could unify the world, he would be the overlord of the world.

When Wen Jiu came out of the bath, Emperor Gao Wen was no longer in Xiangyun Hall, and the table was filled with delicious food.

Wen Jiu sat down, picked up a meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth. There was no warmth in his eyes anymore.
