Chapter 680
“Given that our Emperor seems to be a bit stupid, it is not a bad idea to replace him.” Li Xiaowei rarely voiced his opinion.
“Yeah.” Qi Xia summed up the above statement with one word of insight.
Shen Yanxiao’s mouth twitched. These animals looked like they were worried about her “possible rebellion” when in fact, their excited tone and cheerful eyes were actually no different from encouraging her!
“Can you please use your mind to think about these inconsequential questions on your own? I just want to be the City Lord of The Rising Sun City and have no interest in whatever the Emperor position is.” She thought that the five clans, although their prestige was extremely high, still remained as loyal subjects of their country. But why was it when it came to their younger generation, each and every one of them had become so deviant?
All day long, they never seemed to think about being loyal to their country, and now they were actually thinking of rebellion!
“Ah? Didn’t you have this in mind?” Tang Nazhi was obviously not able to accept Shen Yanxiao’s answer.
The only Prince was kidnapped, and the State Preceptor had also been threatened. Shen Yanxiao really had no intention of rebelling? This…
Is she just teasing our nerves?
“No, not now, not in the future.” Shen Yanxiao threw Tang Nazhi a sidelong glance.
“Then, are you planning to send them back to Long Xuan Empire?” Tang Nazhi stared at Shen Yanxiao and asked.
Shen Yanxiao nodded very honestly. If I don’t send them back, then should I lock them up forever and let them eat and drink for free? Don’t joke around. Food is expensive!
“Heavens.” Tang Nazhi slapped his forehead and for the first time, he suddenly felt how weak-willed Shen Yanxiao was.
“Do you think that if you didn’t kill them, and you’ve not plotted a rebellion, they would be grateful to you? Do you believe me if I say that once you send them back, they’re going to ask the Emperor to gather the army and put down The Rising Sun City?” The preparatory tasks of the rebellion were all done. But afterward, she actually quit and refused to work. Did she not think at all about the consequences?
Shen Yanxiao looked at Tang Nazhi, then looked at the others who wanted to speak but hesitated. She scratched her head and said, “You think about things too complicatedly. I just don’t want them to expose the news inside The Rising Sun City so I temporarily put them under house arrest. I have no other ideas. As for how they will retaliate in the future, it’s not important to me. When The Rising Sun City is completely rebuilt, if the Emperor has the ability, he can send however many people he likes to attack us.” She did not believe that the city walls built with obsidian and reinforced with the magic array of the Demon Race could not withstand the Long Xuan Empire’s artilleries.
Even if she were to stand on the wall as it was attacked by them for three years, she didn’t have to worry at all.
Uncles, I am very sturdy, if you have the ability then hit me ah! [Raz-P: said the city walls. Hahaha.]
“Aren’t you being too reckless?” Yan Yu was a bit worried. Today, Shen Yanxiao’s actions had touched the limits of the monarchy. Unauthorized fellows putting a Prince under house arrest was unforgivable in any country.
“Reckless?” Shen Yanxiao chuckled.
“I won’t deal with the Emperor as long as he doesn’t provoke me. As for Pei Yuan, I don’t think he is a narrow-minded person. There is another purpose for keeping them in The Rising Sun City.” Shen Yanxiao look around The Rising Sun City which was currently under reconstruction, and there was a ray of hope in her eyes.
“I hope that they can see with their own eyes that demons and humans can live in harmony with each other, that they can personally come into contact with the demons, and I hope that everything they have experienced here will allow them to change their views about the demons.”
