We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

The city gates were opened and cheers surged into the city like a wave.

The people rushed into the city with weapons in hand and followed the army. They were ready to lose their lives here.

They didn't expect that the soldiers under the prince were so brave. Before they even had time to move forward, those arrogant county soldiers were killed and fled in all directions.

All the people had to do was follow behind, pick up the fallen weapons and armor, and make some noises.

The Ninggu Army warriors were responsible for the indiscriminate killing, and the cooperation between the two was also a kind of indiscriminate killing.

When the cavalry battalion escorted a group of dusty barbarians to the county government office, the cheers finally became one.

The people spontaneously surrounded the scene and lined the streets to watch.

These barbarians who usually acted arrogantly were now like dogs that had lost their homes, being cursed and despised by the whole city.

The long-suppressed anger in the hearts of the people was finally vented at this moment.

If it weren't for the soldiers of the cavalry battalion watching, everyone would have rushed forward and eaten these barbarians, sucking their blood and consuming their flesh.

The people surrounded them, swearing at them and spitting at them.

Of course, a small part inevitably fell on the cavalry soldiers responsible for escorting.

The soldiers had no choice but to look at each other helplessly.

Then he kicked the barbarian on the butt and said angrily, "Get out of here, you motherless thing!"

The barbarian staggered after being kicked, but he dared not say anything and could only silently quicken his pace.

But he bumped into the soldier in front of him, who immediately became unhappy and turned around to give him a big punch:

"Hurry to die, you have no father!"

The barbarian was instantly in tears.

When the people saw this scene, they became even more excited.

Normally, when the county soldiers saw the barbarians, they were like mice seeing a cat.

But when he saw the people, he changed his face and acted arrogantly.

But now, the soldiers brought by the prince are polite to the people. They are not angry even when they are spat on them. Instead, they vent their anger on the barbarians.

The sharp contrast made the people feel a natural respect for Prince Ninggu.

Suddenly, someone took the lead and a loud shout resounded through the sky:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for avenging us, the people!"

Then, voices of praise rang out one after another:

"Your Highness is kind and righteous. We thank you!"

"Ninggu Army is great too!"

"Long live your highness!"

Hearing the cheers of the people, the soldiers couldn't help but straighten their already straight backs even more.

They were all born as criminals and bandits, and had been criticized all their lives. They had never been praised like this.

The reason why most soldiers were loyal to Li Che was because Li Che could provide them with enough food.

And at this moment, they seemed to have found a more worthy reason to be loyal to Li Che than having a full meal.

In the lobby of the government office, Li Che also heard the shouts of the people outside, which had drowned out the sound of the music.

He waved his hand and the musicians stopped playing.

Li Che slowly stood up with a smile from the heart on his face.

"Let's go out and take a look."

Surrounded by the crowd, Li Che walked to the gate of the government office.

Although it was late, the lights outside were bright, and countless people spontaneously lit torches and stood on the streets cheering.

Someone noticed Li Che at the gate of the county government office and shouted in surprise, "Your Highness is here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around looked over and then knelt on the ground:

"I have met your Highness."

"Your Highness, where is Your Highness?"

"Quick, quick, kowtow to His Highness!"

The people flocked in and blocked the road completely for a while.

Countless cheers, cries of gratitude, and cries echoed throughout the place, and in the end, they gradually dissolved into four uniform words:

"Long live your highness!"

"Long live your highness!"

"Long live your highness!"

Zhuge Zhe, Qian Bin and others beside Li Che were suddenly in a panic and were about to speak out to stop this rebellious behavior.

But he saw Li Che beside him with a gentle smile on his face, and he didn't mean to blame the people at all.

Everyone silently stepped back a few steps, leaving Li Che alone to accept the cheers of the people, while they pretended not to hear anything.

The cheers lasted for more than ten minutes before gradually stopping.

Li Che cleared his throat, stepped forward, and shouted loudly: "People of Ninggu County, listen to what I have to say."

Although the original body was not yet an adult, his figure was already very tall and straight. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

Many people held their breath, waiting for the young prince to speak.

"I am His Majesty's Sixth Prince. I have been ordered to come here to take up my fiefdom. From now on, Ninggu County will be my fiefdom."

"This prince knows that for many years, officials in Ninggu County have been inactive, and the people have suffered from the oppression of the remnants of the previous dynasty and barbarians, and their lives are difficult."

"But this is not your fault. It is their fault, the fault of the government, and also the fault of this king!"

When the people heard this, they were all shocked.

It was the first time that everyone heard a noble say that it was not their own fault that they could not survive, but the fault of the court.

Those nobles would only look at them with contempt, and then order their servants to drive them away like stray dogs.

Li Che continued to shout to the people in plain and simple language:

"From this day forward, I promise you that the sufferings of the past will never happen again."

"All of my subjects have the right to live on this land."

"Anyone who wants to farm can get land. As long as you are diligent enough, there will be endless land to farm."

"If you want to join the army, you can join my army. I will never owe you any wages or rations."

"I will open schools so your children can study; I will open clinics so your sick family members can be healed; I will open factories so women can work and earn money."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another uproar.

The scene described by Li Che was so beautiful that the people didn't even dare to dream of it.

Is there really such a place in the world? Is there really a prince with such a kind heart?

Li Che looked at the confused faces and knew that what he said was too far away for the people. They didn't even have this concept in their minds.

He smiled faintly and decided to talk about something more practical.

"Those aristocratic families in the city who oppressed the people have now been apprehended by this king. Tomorrow, right here, I will hold a public trial for them!"

"A public trial means that you, the people, will be the judges, judging their crimes!"

Li Che's eyes turned cold, and he continued:

"As for those barbarians who committed crimes, I do not think it necessary for them to be put on trial."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him brought up a group of barbarians who were tied up.

The soldiers beat and kicked them, forcing them to kneel on the ground.

"You have brought disaster upon my people on my land of Daqing." Li Che glanced at the terrified faces of the barbarians. "I sentence you barbarians to death. Behead them immediately to comfort the people of Daqing who have been harmed by you!"

Clang——

As soon as Li Che finished speaking, the soldiers behind the barbarians drew their swords in unison.

Upon hearing this, a barbarian suddenly shouted in a very unfluent accent:

"Prince Daqing, you cannot kill me. I am a prince of the Sumo clan. If you kill me, my father Khan will not let you go!"

"Kill!" Li Che shouted decisively.

shhhhh--

With a wave of his hand and a slash of his knife, one ugly head after another fell to the ground.

Among the more than twenty heads, Prince Sumo's head flew the highest.

I can only say that being young is good, and your brain can think more intelligently than those old people.

Li Che sneered and looked at the head with a stunned expression, and said silently:

"Don't worry, your father Khan will be reunited with you soon."
