Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power
Chapter 92 Seeing them like this
Mu Yunxi could only helplessly rub his forehead, then gathered all his internal energy and shouted loudly: "Hurry and run to the boat!"
At her voice, everyone suddenly woke up, looking towards the massive ship behind her, which then surged towards her like a tide. Mu Yunxi quickly ordered several more rope ladders to be lowered and dispatched some soldiers to help with the luggage. Thankfully, these people only brought food, clothing, and a few quilts. Mu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they hadn't taken the stools and beds with them. But upon seeing the two cows, Mu Yunxi felt helpless. The soldiers aboard the Zhaoyang were also reluctant. Finally, Mu Yunxi came up with an idea: to lay out a separate area with oil paper for the cows to stay. The owner of the cows would clean both sides before they reluctantly agreed.
Finally, everyone boarded the Zhaoyang ship before dark. Fortunately, the Zhaoyang ship was large enough, and it was not too crowded with more than 2,000 people standing on the deck.
Finally, before dark, everyone boarded the Zhaoyang. Fortunately, the Zhaoyang was spacious enough that even with more than 2,000 people standing on the deck, the space did not seem too crowded.
The people of Pro City seemed somewhat uneasy after boarding the ship, a stark contrast to the relaxed soldiers. In truth, they didn't fully trust Mu Yunxi and his team, but at this moment, they had no other choice but to hope that these strangers could lead them out of their predicament.
Mu Yunxi felt the ship rocking, and curiously peered out to see a massive wave slamming violently against the stern. The undamaged portion of the stern slammed directly into the walls of Pro City, creating another massive breach in the already crumbling wall.
Mu Yunxi turned around and asked the clan leader A Luosha if he often encountered this situation.
Arosa sighed helplessly and said in a heavy voice, "The situation was relatively good a few years ago. It only happened once or twice a year at most. But in the past two years, it has become increasingly frequent, especially this year. This is the fifth time. At the worst time, the entire city was flooded!"
Mu Yunxi frowned and asked, "Don't you have a city lord here?" In fact, before arriving in this city, she had already learned from Wutou that no officials from Youdu existed in this city. However, Aliru did not know the specific reason.
Arosha shook his head and replied, "No! No one has the courage to take the position of city lord. I heard from my father that they are terrified of us, but they dare not send anyone to destroy us, fearing our retaliation. Therefore, they simply ignore us."
Mu Yunxi nodded thoughtfully, thinking to herself that it seemed that the Youdu royal family and Emperor Qing Zhao did have similarities in some aspects.
Turning back, Mu Yunxi saw the two factions locked in a tense standoff, each staring at the other warily, as if ready to attack at any moment. She couldn't help but laugh, "We're all in this together now. There's no need to be so tense!" She swept her gaze over the crowd and added, "This journey will undoubtedly be fraught with danger. The Youdu royal family will certainly not let us return easily. Everyone should rest well and recuperate. There are even more arduous battles ahead."
The soldiers of Zhao State did not respond, but they also retracted their fierce aura.
The people of Pro City began to whisper among themselves, their faces showing worry. Mu Yunxi noticed their reaction and said calmly, "We won't set off until tomorrow. Before then, you still have the opportunity to choose."
A Luosha, a shrewd old man in his late eighties, immediately understood Mu Yunxi's underlying meaning. He turned and gazed at his people, his voice low and firm, "Our tribe is running low. Future children must marry outsiders to continue our bloodline. As for my ancestors, I will apologize to them after I die. But right now, the living are the most important."
"But will the royal family let us go to Zhao Kingdom?" A woman hugged a little boy about three years old tightly in her arms, with a look of deep worry on her face, and couldn't help asking.
At this time, a sonorous and powerful voice came into everyone's ears: "We can come here from Zhaoguo unscathed, and we can also go back safely!" Quan Zhiduo said loudly with composure and confidence.
This sentence was like a reassurance, which slightly alleviated the worries in many people's hearts.
Because of the rain, they had to temporarily vacate a cabin for these people to squeeze into.
The sky gradually darkened. In the meeting room of the Zhaoyang ship, candlelight flickered, and officials from the Zhao Kingdom sat together, discussing the next course of action.
At this time, Jin Yubin asked worriedly: "Will they cast a spell on us?"
Chen Jie shook his head and answered affirmatively, "No! You saw it just now. The waves were so fierce that they even overturned the city walls. They urgently need a safe place to hide, and Zhaoguo is undoubtedly the best choice. In addition, the old patriarch holds a very important position in the clan, and his words carry weight. Moreover, he is a very shrewd man and would never allow his people to do such a foolish thing." After Chen Jie finished his explanation, he turned his gaze to Mu Yunxi beside him and praised with a smile, "Little Lord Mu is really eloquent. With just a few words, he touched their hearts! They are willing to come with us!"
"It's not that I'm good at speaking, I'm just telling the truth." Mu Yunxi shook her head and said, "Actually, they wanted to leave here in the first place. It's just that Youdu has been wary of them and has been delaying the planning of a place for them, waiting for them to ask for it so they can make their demands. The old patriarch also knew Youdu's intentions, so he kept delaying, allowing us to pick up this opportunity for nothing. I dare not take credit for this!"
Her words surprised others. They didn't expect that she was not greedy for credit at all.
But when everyone thought about it carefully, if there were no such reasons, how could those people easily trust a stranger?
"I see!" Lu Shanqi said with sudden enlightenment, "No wonder they agreed to our request so easily. It turns out they've wanted to leave for a long time."
"Yeah, in this way, we really got a great bargain." Ron also agreed, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"So what should we do next?" Wang Wei asked, with a bit of anticipation and confusion on his face.
Everyone looked at Mu Yunxi, waiting for her answer. But Mu Yunxi looked at Quan Zhiduo.
"The wind and waves are so strong tonight, we must have the soldiers guard well." Quan Zhiduo ordered his men to keep a close eye on the situation.
Then he said to everyone, "The wind and waves are too strong tonight. The navy of Youdu will not attack us. Everyone should rest first! After the wind and waves subside, a tough battle is inevitable."
Then he asked Mu Yunxi: "Master Mu, do you have anything to add?"
Mu Yunxi had been listening carefully to his arrangements, but her mind was momentarily slow to react to his sudden question. Her eyes seemed to be saying, "You're asking me this question out of all the people?"
Quan Zhiduo understood her look and laughed awkwardly.
But in order to save his face, Mu Yunxi said, "I have nothing to add! But do you know where Commander Wu is?"
"I know! He went to guard the people in Pro City! Should I send someone to invite him over?" Quan Zhiduo said with a flattering smile.
"Okay! Thank you, General Quan!" Mu Yunxi nodded slightly and said politely.
"Lord Xiao Mu, that's not right. It's just a matter of a word!" Quan Zhiduo said and sent his men away.
"Hmph! You're so proud of yourself! You invite me if I say so!" Kim Woo Bin couldn't help but say sourly when he saw this scene.
Mu Yunxi took a sip of tea, a hint of a smile on her lips, and said slowly: "My master is your father's senior sister, and your father and I are quite familiar with each other. This time when I go back, I will definitely pay a visit in person!"
Jin Yubin's face froze, and he cursed himself inwardly for being too talkative. In fact, he just couldn't accept his father always praising how good Mu Yunxi was, saying that it only took her more than a year and her martial arts skills were better than his, and that he was useless, so he would occasionally retort to Mu Yunxi.
Seeing Jin Yubin's face full of dissatisfaction, Mu Yunxi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she said lightly: "If you don't accept it, let's fight! You're a grown man, but you're always acting weird!"
"Let's fight, who's afraid of who!" Jin Yubin had long wanted to fight Mu Yunxi. He wanted to see if this girl was really as powerful as his father said. After saying that, he flew towards Mu Yunxi.
Seeing that the two were really going to fight, several adults hid behind Quan Zhiduo, and no one stepped forward to intervene. Along the way, Jin Yubin had been picking on Mu Yunxi from time to time, but Mu Yunxi simply ignored him. It seemed that he couldn't stand it anymore and was going to fight directly. Another reason was that they also wanted to see how good Mu Yunxi was.
Mu Yunxi looked at the fist that was about to hit her, dodged it with a sideways move, and punched Jin Yubin in the abdomen. Before Jin Yubin could even land and landed a punch, Mu Yunxi stood up and flew up to kick him again, sending Jin Yubin flying backwards. Seeing this, Mu Yunxi frowned: "Why are you so weak? You can't even dodge this! I don't know why you are so arrogant all the time!"
Jin Yubin stood there in a daze, his face flushed and veins bulging on his forehead, as if he were imprisoned by an invisible force, unable to move. At this moment, a steady voice came from the door: "Master Xiaomu is looking for me?"
Mu Yunxi quickly turned her head and saw Wutou standing quietly at the door with his arms folded, his eyes fixed on her and Jin Yubin. She was slightly startled, then replied, "Yes, I have something to ask you. Please follow me." After that, she turned and left without hesitation.
