Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
In fact, Yu Linglong didn’t think about those weird punishments . What she thought about was the matter that she discussed with Lord Xu last night .
Compared to the upcoming major event about the country, these little gangsters in front of her were like mosquitoes, inaccessible, and almost ignorable .
Only……
Suddenly, there was an idea in Yu Linglong’s mind . Perhaps these gangsters could help them .
A smile reappeared on her face, but compared to the gentle smile just now, this smile looked distant and indifferent .
“Get up . ”
Blue and White Tiger and others, who had been kneeling for a long time, heard these words as if they heard the sound of nature . They quickly got up from the ground, but still did not dare to raise their heads . They just stood on the ground with their hands down, acting obedient .
Yu Linglong tilted her head slightly, trying to recall what Blue and White Tiger said yesterday, and then asked after a pause: “What did you say yesterday, what Dragon and Tiger gang are you?”
Blue and White Tiger hurriedly replied respectfully: “Yes, it is called the Dragon Tiger Gang, because the younger ones are named after dragons and tigers…No, no, no, in front of the princess, we are neither a dragon nor a tiger, but we are insects . …”
Seeing them incoherently frightened, Yu Linglong nodded with satisfaction, and asked, “In addition to oppressing the people, what else do you do on weekdays?”
Upon hearing Yu Linglong’s words, Blue and White Tiger and the others immediately raised their hopes .
What did the princess mean by asking about this? Was it to ask them what evil they usually do and did she want to deal with them?
Although Blue and White Tiger and others have developed their bodies, they were not simple in mind . They quickly said: “No, no, no, no, we wouldn’t dare anymore, we know that we are wrong, and we will definitely change our minds and behave in the future… “
While talking, several people were about to kneel down again, and Yu Linglong said impatiently: “Okay, stand and talk . ”
She wasn’t the magistrate, and she didn’t care about the mess they were making . Whether these people bullied the weak and feared the strong, as soon as they heard this kind of problem, they were like enemies .
The half-bent knees of Blue and White Tiger and others paused . They were neither kneeling nor standing . Their posture was very awkward .
Yu Linglong thought for a while and said, “How many people are there in your Dragon Tiger Gang? Who is the boss?”
Blue and White Tiger quickly replied: “Not many . There are more than a hundred people in total, I…um…I am…”
With big hands scratching his head, Blue and White TIger’s face showed a very embarrassed expression . Just like him, he bowed his knees to a woman in front of his inferiors . Wherever he dared to call himself the boss, his face looked completely ashamed .
Yu Linglong glanced at Blue and White tiger recalled his skill in her mind and made a decision .
“How old are you?” Yu Linglong suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question .
Blue and White Tiger was stunned . He was unable to recover for a while, and replied truthfully: “I am twenty-eight this year . ”
Yu Linglong shook her head: “You’re not too young . ”
Blue and White Tiger couldn’t help but bow his head in shame . They all said that he should be famous as soon as possible . Although he became the boss of a small gang before his 30s, it was estimated that this will be the case in his entire life .
In the future, he will lead my younger brothers to fight and kill, and arrogantly rob . If the result is good, he can barely live to grow old . If there are any accidents, there is the possibility of being corpses on the street at any time .
For example, yesterday, he just took the younger brothers to Cyclamen to have a meal and offended the little-known Princess Xu . If Princess Xu was unhappy, they couldn’t be sure whether they would keep their heads or not .
It was difficult for people like them to become famous!
Blue and White Tiger’s frustration obviously infected the little brothers around him . The rest of the people looked at each other, remembering their own disappointments, and bowed their heads in low spirits .
Yu Linglong looked at the frustrated little gangsters in front of her with cold eyes, seized the opportunity, and asked faintly .
It was these words that, like a thunderstorm, blew up Blue and White Tiger and the others suddenly .
“I’ll give you a chance to get ahead, do you want it?”
Blue and White Tiger and others raised their heads shamelessly and looked at Yu Linglong in disbelief .
They were arrogant and domineering . Didn’t they just want to have a better life and make a difference in the future? Was it possible that the noble Princess Xu wanted to cultivate them?
After a moment of being stunned, Blue and White Tiger and others came to their senses and immediately knelt to the ground impatiently .
“If the princess will promote us, we will never hesitate to die!”
Seeing those faces flushed with excitement, Yu Linglong smiled . Her pink nails were gracefully raised, and she said, “Get up and talk . ”
Blue and White Tiger and others quickly stood up . Their eyes fixed on Yu Linglong, waiting for Yu Linglong’s instructions .
“From now on, you will follow me . ”
These words made Blue and White Tiger and the others excited . Following Princess Xu, it was a step up to the sky for them . Naturally, it was more beautiful than beating a blind man on the street or scolding a dumb man!
Blue and White Tiger grinned and couldn’t help but tentatively ask: “Princess, what do you want us to do?”
Yu Linglong looked at Ling’er, and Ling’er understood . She drew a few silver bills from the purse and handed them to Blue and White Tiger .
Yu Linglong said: “Take these silver pieces . First go find a few shops to make a living, and hire more people . ”
Blue and White Tiger looked down at the amount on the banknote, and couldn’t help but close his mouth: “This much?”
Yu Linglong got up, walked out, and said as she walked, “Since you are called the Dragon Tiger Gang, you will make a career, lest you lose your name!”
Blue and White Tiger’s face blushed, and he couldn’t help but clench the banknote: “Yes, we must obey the instructions of the princess . ”
This large sum of money was the basis for them to stand up in their lives!
Yu Linglong walked to the door, paused, and dropped a sentence without looking back: “Also, no one is allowed to cause trouble without my instructions . ”
She took in these gangsters, but it didn’t mean that she was willing to be their backer . She wasn’t paying for them, so this ugly thing should be said first .
Startled by her cold tone, Blue and White Tiger quickly said: “We wouldn’t dare . ”
Yu Linglong pointed to Ling’er and said, “If anything happens, go to the back door of the palace and ask for Ling’er . ”
The respectful eyes of Blue and White Tiger and others immediately fell on Ling’er, and they shouted in unison: “Lady Ling’er . ”
Suddenly being stared at by a group of big men, Ling’er couldn’t help but blush . She quickly straightened her face, nodded to them as a response, and quickly followed Yu Linglong out .
She was not mentally prepared for the role the princess had her play at all!
Ling’er followed Yu Linglong out of the house, but she saw Yu Linglong staring at the few little maids who filed in the courtyard with buckets .
After a long while, Yu Linglong asked nonchalant words: “Where can I buy slaves?”
Ling’er felt very strange, and replied with a puzzled look: “You want to buy people? I will go and find a broker…”
Yu Linglong shook her head and said, “No, I want to buy a slave, the lowest, most humble, and most miserable slave . ”
Hearing Yu Linglong’s words, Ling’er’s face showed a rare seriousness: “Princess, can I ask you, why do you want to buy a slave?”
Perceiving the abnormality in Ling’er’s tone, Yu Linglong turned around and said, “Remember when I said I was going to buy a mountain that day?”
Ling’er nodded, and her expression softened a little: “Does the princess want a slave to go to the mountain? I understand . ”
Yu Linglong did not speak but did not deny it either . Did Ling’er think she was buying a slave to cultivate the mountain and farm? No, her purpose was more important than cultivating a mountain .
Ling’er looked in the direction where the little maids had disappeared, with a look of memories on her face, but with a bit of pain and sorrow .
“Princess, I also came out of the hands of the broker before . That period of time was really…” Linger tightened her lips, obviously not willing to remember anymore, but quickly turned to the topic, “But my destiny was still good because I was born clean, so they can sell me to big families with many innocent girls . No matter how bad I am, I can also become the servants or concubines of small families . But many people are not so lucky . I have seen it with my own eyes…it was really scary…”
Her voice gradually dropped . Even in the splendid spring, her tone did not feel a trace of warmth, but it was full of chills that made people shudder .
“…Among them, there are males and females, old and young . The youngest I have ever seen was not more than three, and they don’t know anything . They were also dragged out and sold . The child’s mother said something we didn’t understand, crying herself to death . Princess, I really didn’t understand . They are also human beings, why should they be treated like this?”
Yu Linglong asked softly: “Who are they?”
Ling’er said: “Some of them are prisoners of war, some are prisoners, and some are uncivilized barbarians caught in the frontier . Many of them are even being dragged down by having a family to feed, and even children of a few years old are caught . Because their family background is unknown or their language is unknown, or they are mute or have a criminal record, serious people will not buy them as family members . If they fall into the hands of the broker, they can only go to the most miserable places, such as brothels…”
Ling’er’s thin eyebrows were tightly twisted into a ball, and she could only go on through gritted teeth: “But even a brothel is not easy to get into . They only want young and beautiful girls, and other people can only go to salt mines, coal mines, quarries, and even lime mines . I heard people say that none of the people who went to these places could live for three months . ”
Even Yu Linglong, who was hard-hearted, couldn’t help but feel shocked when she heard these words . In this era, there was no machinery and no gas masks . Everything depended on manpower and handwork . If the situation was really like what Ling’er said . …
She really didn’t want to imagine how those people were living the last moments of their lives under the difficult conditions, where their lives were so humble that they could not even be weary .
Yu Linglong sighed and said softly: “I’ll leave this to you . Take the silver, and buy a slave for as much as you want, but only those under the age of twelve . ”
Although her plan was cruel, at least let these slaves who have only one dead end would survive .
Ling’er pulled her thoughts back, and couldn’t help but feel a little strange when she heard Yu Linglong’s words: “The princess wants to buy those children? What can they do?”
Yu Linglong did not answer but walked towards the garden .
There was a gust of wind blowing from nowhere, blowing the blooming spring flowers all over the sky . Unknowingly, the remnants of red fell all over the ground .
In the depths of the flowers, a woman in the red dress, with a decisive figure, seemed to be determined that nothing could stop her, and walked forward .
Some things, since they have been decided, they must be done to the end .
…
Everything was just as Yu Linglong had expected . Since the goal of frightening the prince was to be achieved, then Lord Xu’s canonization ceremony will be extremely grand .
On that day, she was dressed up in gorgeous clothes and appeared at the top of the tower . Her bright beautiful eyes flew sharply, looking at the high platform outside the city from a distance .
There, the armor is distinct, handsome, and fierce .
Even though they were far away, she could still hear the deafening ritual music . With the majesty of the royal family and the awe-inspiring army, it pierced through the ears of the crowd like a sword .
The imperial canopy symbolizing the emperor was particularly obvious in the black armor . The emperor personally visited .
The metallic light was like a tide over the sky, glowing with cold, cold light . It was the legendary nine battalions and twelve guards . The flag stood clearly on the huge open ground, faintly exuding the emperor’s might .
They were the top army in the world . They were responsible for the important mission of guarding the imperial city . They were the noble-born nine battalions and twelve guards .
Even if they didn’t say a word, the soldiers still stood tall, exuding awe-inspiring coldness and excellence .
In the army full of swords and weapons, there was a figure . Even among the thousands of people, he was still shining proudly, attracting her eyes .
On the red felt that stretched for several miles, a tall figure walked firmly towards the high platform .
He was dressed in black iron armor, with a sword on his waist, and a pure black cloak flying high in the wind . His stature was straight and loose as if he had gathered the power of the whole world and broke through the sky .
Walking ten feet away from the high platform, he unloaded the sword, handed it to the officer, and stepped up the steps .
The hundred or so steps were very long and very high . She slightly squinted her eyes and followed the figure of Lord Xu in the brilliant sunshine .
That was her husband, her dependence, her pride .
At this moment, there was a sense of pride in her heart that she had never felt before . In the rose gold auspicious cloud pattern brocade robe, her slender fingers involuntarily pinched together secretly .
For the first time, she deeply felt that she and he shared the honor and disgrace .
It turned out that this was true love . She and he were not just about supporting each other, but guarding and watching each other . He was not a towering green pine, and she was not a small flower who needed shelter from the wind and rain . She and he were two trees that were closely intertwined at the roots underground . Their stubborn branches stretched out to the sky infinitely . No one will limit the other . They will only silently convey energy to each other, share the sun and rainstorm, and finally together, they will grow into a towering giant tree .
The perfect love is never to let her escape the world but to let her see the whole world through him .
