Never Once Doubted Her!
"You think you can change my mind with just a few words? Let me tell you, the fate of this village is in my hands! If I want, I can wipe it out in an instant!"
Xiao Jin met Young Master Zhao's gaze without flinching and said, "Young Master Zhao, you may be able to destroy the material world of the village, but you can never destroy the will and faith of the people! We will not succumb to your threats and intimidation! We will unite and face the difficulties together!"
Young Master Zhao didn't take it seriously, his face full of contempt.
"Naive! You're nothing without Ye Jing. If you're so capable, bring Ye Jing back!"
"You..."
"What do you mean, 'what...'? Guards, show this guest out!"
Young Master Young Master Zhao waved for the guards to come forward, and Xiao Jin was rudely ushered out of the Zhao residence. Her eyes flashed with defiance and anger, but she also knew that she could not change Young Master Zhao's decision on her own.
As night fell, Xiao Jin dragged her heavy steps back to the village. The villagers anxiously surrounded her, asking for the result, but from Xiao Jin's furrowed brows and silence, they had already guessed the answer.
In the days that followed, Young Master Zhao's methods became even more ruthless. He first cut off all contact between the village and the outside world, preventing the delivery of necessities such as food and medicine, plunging the villagers into dire straits.
Immediately afterwards, he secretly colluded with a group of desperados, disguised as thieves, to attack the village at night, plunder the remaining resources, and even injure and kill people, plunging the entire village into panic.
Faced with this sudden disaster, the villagers did not give up; instead, they united more closely to resist the external enemy.
Xiao Jin stepped forward and used her wisdom and courage to organize the villagers to build fortifications, formulate patrol plans, and personally teach the children how to protect themselves and how to remain calm in a crisis.
Her figure was busy in every corner of the village, becoming a beacon of hope in the hearts of the villagers.
However, just when the villagers thought they could barely hold on, Young Master Zhao finally revealed his true colors.
One morning, the village was awakened by a commotion. A group of fully armed soldiers surrounded the village, led by Young Master Zhao, who had a smug smile on his face.
He announced that, according to the law of the Imperial Court, all villagers must be arrested and brought to justice because the village was suspected of harboring rebels (alluding to Ye Jing), as a warning to others.
Upon hearing this, the villagers gasped in alarm, knowing that once they fell into the hands of Young Master Zhao, they would likely never survive.
Xiao Jin was extremely anxious. She knew that her family had a deep connection with Ye Jing, and that they would definitely be the first target of Young Master Zhao's revenge.
But she did not back down. Instead, she stepped forward and tried to reason with Young Master Young Master Zhao, hoping to find a glimmer of humanity in his cold-heartedness.
"Young Master Zhao, our village has been law-abiding for generations and has never done anything illegal or disorderly. How can you frame us like this?" Xiao Jin's voice sounded particularly firm in the cold morning wind.
Xiao Jin Master Young Master Zhao sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Miss Jin, why are you so stubborn? As long as Ye Jing remains, I, Zhao, will never have peace. Today's actions are merely a warning to others, to let everyone know the consequences of opposing me!"
Xiao Jin wanted to say something more, but a soldier roughly pushed her to the ground. She watched helplessly as her parents, brothers and sisters, and villagers were shackled and put into prison vans, her heart filled with despair and anger.
Young Master Zhao looked at the little girl with a cold eye.
She has Guardian Jade Pendant, but no one else does.
If this village dares to oppose him, then it has no reason to exist!
Ye Jing at this moment.
It's actually not far from the village.
It was just in a military camp in another country.
Ye Jing came to stop this country because it was planning to invade another country.
The setting sun, like blood, shone brightly on the flags of the military camp, appearing particularly glaring.
Ye Jing stood at the entrance of the military camp, his gaze sharp as he looked directly at the generals in front of him, who were clad in armor and wielding weapons.
"Are you really going to sacrifice innocent lives for the sake of the country's interests?" Ye Jing's voice was deep and powerful, each word like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of the generals.
General Jia frowned and sighed, "Ye Jing, do you know the difficulties our country faces? Resources are scarce, and the people are suffering. We have no other choice."
"Forced to do something?" Ye Jing sneered. "Isn't there any other solution? War will only bring more suffering and destruction. Haven't you thought about that?"
General B stepped forward, his eyes revealing helplessness. "We know this all too well, but it's our only choice. We don't want to invade other countries, but we can't watch our own nation fall into dire straits either."
Ye Jing shook his head, his gaze becoming even more resolute. "No, you still have a choice. That is to abandon the war and seek a peaceful solution. I can help you, using my strength to persuade the leaders of that country to be willing to sit down and negotiate."
"And I will use my abilities to help you resolve the domestic crisis."
The generals exchanged bewildered glances, clearly surprised by Ye Jing's words. But they also understood that Ye Jing's strength was beyond question.
If he really wanted to forcibly stop this war, they probably wouldn't be able to resist.
"Ye Jing, you... you really want to help us?" General Bing's voice trembled slightly, clearly moved by Ye Jing's sincerity.
Ye Jing nodded, her tone firm. "Of course, I am willing to work for peace, and I hope you can also lay down your weapons and join me in stopping this unnecessary war."
The generals were silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. They knew Ye Jing was right.
War is never the best way to solve problems; only through peaceful means can disputes between two countries be truly resolved.
"Alright! We'll listen to you!" the generals said in unison, then turned around and ordered their soldiers to lay down their weapons and prepare to counterattack.
Ye Jing watched this scene, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He knew that his efforts had not been in vain.
He successfully prevented an unnecessary war through his strength and sincerity.
"Ye Jing, you did a great job!"
Beside him, the Woman in White Dress smiled gently.
"Yes, it feels great!" Ye Jing nodded with a smile, looking at the gentle face of the Woman in White Dress. "Thank you for always being there for me and supporting me!"
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure. It's my honor to be able to accompany you!" the Woman in White Dress said gently.
"Alright, let's go see their emperor together!" Ye Jing said with a smile.
For some reason, Ye Jing never doubted the Woman in White Dress who suddenly appeared beside him.
He felt that this woman understood him very well!
