Clap clap clap!
Lin Rusong stamped the seal repeatedly, directly confirming the authority of the announcement. This was the mark of the Great Liang royal family, something that ordinary people could not possess, representing the supreme power of Great Liang.
If the goal is to gain the trust of the people, no one is more convincing than his father, the emperor.
"Your subject understands!"
In such a formal setting, Wang Ziwen dared not be negligent in the slightest. She respectfully accepted the announcement and then turned to make the arrangements.
This matter must be handled as soon as possible. This is the best opportunity to strike Ashina Tiandu, after all, the people have been abandoned here and are now burning with rage.
If we miss this opportunity, the results will be much less satisfactory.
And indeed, the Tiele City was filled with panic and confusion, with everyone staring blankly at the sky.
The powerful and wealthy in the city had all fled, Frostwest army had also disappeared, leaving only a group of anxious Frostwest civilians behind, looking nervously at the Great Liang soldiers filling the city.
They didn't even dare to speak loudly, fearing that if the other person became unhappy, their lives would be in danger.
All the naughty children who used to be on the streets are gone; they've all been kept at home by their parents to prevent them from provoking the soldiers of Great Liang and causing the deaths of their families.
The fear of the Great Liang!
Feeling lost about the future!
Cast aside your hatred for those powerful and wealthy!
The fury towards Emperor Ashina Tiandu!
At this moment, the people of Frostwest felt a mix of emotions, but more than anything, they felt confused and fearful about the future. They were afraid that Great Liang would take action against ordinary people like them.
In order to counter the propaganda offensive of the Great Liang, Ashina Tiandu vigorously publicized the brutality of the Great Liang, claiming that they devoured everything they passed through, which was undoubtedly fatal to the common people.
So when the Great Liang army entered, they felt like the Tiandu had fallen.
The silence made the atmosphere on the street dull and even oppressive, causing some people to become restless.
At this moment, someone could no longer contain their anger and roared, "The people of Great Liang have actually invaded! Where are our troops? Where have they all died?"
He couldn't believe his eyes. This was the capital of the Frostwest Empire, and the Great Liang had actually invaded it! Where were his country's troops?
Upon hearing his words, the crowd fell silent, but soon erupted like a volcano.
Are you fucking blind or deaf?
"So many people fled before, even the king ran away, where did the army go?"
"Those bastards didn't dare to fight against Great Liang, they actually abandoned us and ran away! It's absolutely outrageous! I curse their ancestors!!!"
"Our emperor is no human being either! He promised to lead us to greatness and prosperity, but he's a complete liar!"
"If he were in front of me, I would kill him!"
The common people weren't blind; they had all seen those powerful and wealthy families leaving Tiele City with their families. At first, they thought they were just going out for a trip, but as more and more families left, they began to realize that something was amiss.
This isn't a leisurely trip; it's clearly a flight to their deaths. All these wealthy and powerful people received the news and fled for their lives.
The people's land and this year's grain are all here, and the harvest hasn't even started yet. How can they leave here? Even if they aren't killed by the Great Liang, they will starve to death.
Forehead!
The man who had been questioning them was stunned. He couldn't help but slap himself and cursed, "So that's how it is! I'll never let this bastard get away with this!"
His neighbor had left earlier, telling him he was going out for a spring outing and to visit friends, and he actually believed him. Little did he know that the guy had been lying to him.
If you're going to leave, fine, but at least tell me!
The streets had been silent until now, but the last veil had been torn away, and everyone felt abandoned and faced with the overwhelming despair of the Great Liang.
With the emperor gone, what can ordinary people do? They are completely at the mercy of others.
"Waaaaah, what do we do now?"
"I've heard that the Great Liang is extremely powerful; their people will punch any black bear they encounter, and the bears don't even dare to fight back. How can we possibly have a good life here!"
"Is it really that exaggerated? That was a black bear. Are the people of Great Liang that powerful?"
"Nonsense, if they weren't powerful, how could they have almost scared our emperor to death? It's because they're incredibly powerful."
As a result, the people of Frostwest immediately became listless, like eggplants wilted by frost.
Even black bears are beaten into submission by the Great Liang, let alone ordinary people like us. We'd probably be picked up and beaten without even the chance to fight back.
Why!
For a moment, everyone sighed in despair. Now they could only hope that Great Liang would be kind, otherwise they would have no way to survive.
Just then, drums and gongs suddenly sounded outside, followed by a well-organized army of the Great Liang trotting in. Each soldier was fully armed, exuding a ferocious aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Grunt!
In an instant, as if obeying orders without question, the previously furious people of Frostwest all shut their mouths tightly, even suppressing their breathing, for fear of alerting this army.
Fortunately, the army did not take action against them. They simply posted a notice on the street, left a few people to guard the area, and then moved on to the next location.
For a long time, no one dared to go over. Finally, after quite some time, someone steeled themselves and went over. However, looking at the entire text of the Great Liang, they were all dumbfounded. This thing recognized them, but they didn't recognize it.
"What is this writing? Is there anyone who knows the script of the Great Liang Dynasty?"
"I know it, I know it. I used to do business in Great Liang, so I'm very familiar with this stuff. I recognize most of the people in it."
A businessman squeezed through the crowd, sweating profusely from the effort, eager to hear the news. He finally made it in and immediately began reading the notice.
Upon seeing the crucial detail, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Great! We're all safe! Great Liang didn't intend to kill us!"
Is everything alright?
"You won't kill us?"
Upon hearing this, the people on the street couldn't help but cheer. For them, this was absolutely the best news, even better than heavenly music.
Everyone stared at the businessman, afraid he might be lying to them, so no one dared to blink.
The merchant wiped the sweat from his brow and said excitedly, "It's true! Great Liang really won't kill us. They said that Ashina Tiandu abandoned Frostwest's capital that day, so he abandoned the Frostwest regime and betrayed the people of Frostwest."
He is a traitor, unfit to lead our country. The future of Frostwest belongs to Great Liang!
