These People Seem to Be My Subordinates!

The Crown Prince looked at Shen Tao and said, "Shen Tao, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Crown Prince and said:

"I am not your puppet; I am here to do business."

You really think I'm being held captive here by you?

The Crown Prince looked coldly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "If you dare to leave, I'll have my guards kill you."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Alright! I'll wait for your bodyguards to come find me."

She turned and left. The crown prince watched her retreating figure, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Wanwan went straight to Drunken Immortal Restaurant, where she found it more comfortable to stay.

She was walking down the street with a group of people when the Third Princess said, "Wanwan, I'm afraid the Crown Prince won't let you off the hook!"

Zhou Wanwan said, "Tch, I'm not afraid of him at all! He just wants the money I have, but I'm not going to give it to him."

Zhou Wanwan strolled around the streets. Xin'an City was truly bustling, with delicious food everywhere.

She had just bought a skewer of candied hawthorns when she saw a lot of people saying, "Have you heard? Someone found the War God's Tomb! Lots of people are rushing there!"

"The War God's Tomb? Really? I've heard that whoever finds the War God's Tomb will rule the world. I want to go see it too."

"A lot of people are rushing over there now. If you go too late, you might miss your chance!"

The Third Princess looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Master, shall we go now? That's the War God's Tomb! I really want to see what the War God's Tomb is like."

The seventh princess exclaimed with admiration, "The War God of the Northern Frontier! I've heard he's incredibly brave and invincible. I really want to see his statue!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded with a smile, "Let's go, let's go join in the fun."

The War God's Tomb! Who wouldn't go crazy for that?

Zhou Wanwan boarded the carriage and soon arrived at the War God's Tomb with the crowd.

The entrance to the War God's Tomb was packed with people.

Moreover, the War God's Tomb is located within the Great Xia territory. The Third Princess frowned and said, "Does this mean we have to go abroad? If I go to Great Xia, will I be arrested?"

The seventh princess said, "I'm afraid we'll get caught and taken hostage."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Don't worry! It won't be that bad. I'll protect you."

The third princess nodded. "That's good, that's good."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Third Princess and said:

"You seem to trust me quite a bit, which I find rather strange. Weren't you quite arrogant before?"

Why are you being so obedient now?

The Third Princess said:

"I just felt that you were no ordinary person, it was just a gut feeling."

"I've had incredibly sharp intuition since I was a child; otherwise, I wouldn't be alive today."

The Seventh Princess nodded and said, "I feel that you are very kind and approachable, just like family to me."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled. She went to the Great Qi Kingdom and brought back two princesses. Most importantly, these two princesses were willing to be her maids.

If this got out, who would believe it?

Their carriage quickly stopped by the roadside. Zhou Wanwan got out of the carriage, and the Third Princess looked at the War God's Tomb and said, "So many people? There must be tens of thousands of them!"

Zhou Wanwan then saw all the soldiers in armor looking at them in unison.

The third princess was startled. "Are these soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom? Why are they so frightening? They exude a murderous aura."

The Seventh Princess was also startled. "Why do I feel like they're walking this way?"

Thousands of soldiers marched toward Zhou Wanwan, led by Shen Chaoge.

Shen Chaoge led everyone in kneeling down. "Greetings, Master."

Outside, they never call him Your Majesty, because he has not yet ascended the throne.

Zhou Wanwan raised her hand and said, "Get up, everyone! How's it going over here?"

Shen Chaoge said, "Everything is going smoothly. This place is very close to Crushed Stone Fort, so Crushed Stone Fort is currently overcrowded."

Crushed Stone Fort wasn't very big to begin with, but the restaurant there was quite large, with over 700 rooms.

It's all full now, and many people have nowhere to live and have to sleep on the streets.

Of course, Zhou Wanwan directly had people sell tents, all kinds of tents.

Now the roadside is lined with all sorts of tents.

Zhou Wanwan said, "There should be people from several countries here now. Keep an eye on them and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Shen Chaoge nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. We have hundreds of thousands of people here; no one will dare to act recklessly."

Soldiers patrolled the streets from time to time, and then those people were gathered together for unified management.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and asked, "How is the War God's Tomb doing now?"

Shen Chaoge scoffed, "The War God's Tomb isn't something just anyone can open. It'll take at least ten days to half a month to open."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, and then saw Princess Jianing walking over with a group of guards. She said, "Oh! Who's this? Isn't this Zhou Wanwan?"

Princess Jianing was accompanied by several noble ladies from the capital.

Lu Lan, Wen Zhiyu, Shangguan Wan'er, and several others I wasn't familiar with.

It's the same people again.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

Princess Jianing, how have you been?

I heard you ran into the enemy camp and actually came back alive! You're incredibly lucky!

Princess Jianing rolled her eyes and said:

"None of your business! Seize her! Zhou Wanwan, do you see who's around here?"

These are all people my mother sent to protect me. And, can you see the army of our Great Xia Kingdom?

I heard you recently went to the Great Qi. This is treason, a heinous crime.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "I've disliked her for a long time, but I never expected her to betray the country and collude with the enemy. I think she should be killed immediately."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Are you asking for trouble again?"

Just as they were about to make their move, two swords were placed at the heads of Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing was startled and turned to look at the experts sent by her mother, saying, "Are you all insane? How dare you try to kill me? Believe me, I'll have my mother skin you alive!"

The two men exchanged a glance, then sneered, "If it weren't for the high salaries in the palace, do you think we'd want to stay there? It's incredibly stifling."

Princess Jianing looked at them and said, "What do you mean by this?"

The group of men stood directly behind Zhou Wanwan. Zhou Wanwan smiled slightly and said, "Oh dear! What should I do! These people seem to be my subordinates!"

Princess Jianing's eyes widened. "How is that possible? These are my mother's men who were sent to protect me. How could they be your subordinates?"

Zhou Wanwan shrugged and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Whoever has the most money is the boss."

Princess Jianing looked at her and said, "You just wait, I'll have my mother send more people over, let's see what you do then!"

The Old Scholar Tree not far away sneered, "If he knew that most of the people in this palace are now our people, I wonder what he would think?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled, "Who cares what she thinks!"

Zhou Wanwan's influence has long since infiltrated the palace.

Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace were mostly her subordinates.

Not to mention the Imperial Guards, the entire Imperial Household Department in the palace is now under Zhou Wanwan's command. As long as Zhou Wanwan gives an order, the entire Imperial Household Department will defect.
