Chapter 53: Interrogating Cuihua
Cuihua was getting a little flustered.
—What the hell! What the hell is this?! How did more than a dozen burly soldiers get killed just like that?! I don't remember the emperor being written as some martial arts master!
Tang Ru flew into a rage at that moment and shouted, "Your Majesty, you actually killed my servants! I'm going to tell my mother!"
Only then did Cuihua snap awake and suddenly realize something.
—That's right. Marquis Zhenbei is behind us. No matter what, this is a historical novel, not some immortal-cultivation story. No matter how formidable she is, could she really slaughter all five hundred thousand troops?!
Cuihua immediately calmed down.
"Your Majesty truly has impressive skills. This little woman admires you greatly." Cuihua gave a faint smile. "But this is as far as you go. When a common man flies into a rage, blood can only splash five steps away. Even if you kill these dozen or so servants today, even if you kill the two of us as well, so what? Can you kill Marquis Zhenbei and the five hundred thousand troops under her command?"
Chu Lu walked toward the two of them expressionlessly.
Cuihua was not flustered in the slightest. She believed the situation was so obvious that as long as Chu Lu had even a little sense, she would think rationally, weigh the pros and cons, and obediently submit.
After all, this was a female-oriented novel. No matter how stifled one felt, no matter how one was mocked and ridiculed, obedient submission was the only reasonable development. There was no possibility of flying into a rage, losing one's mind, and overturning the table.
"If you kill us, the enraged Marquis Zhenbei will only make Great Yan pay a thousandfold, a hundredfold price."
