The news that the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had personally come to the frontline to command the battle had spread throughout the entire border city, and even reached the Wolf King's ears. The Wolf King was afraid of the elite army of Great Qin, so he hurriedly ordered the army to retreat a few miles to observe the situation.
The king's arrival and the retreat of the wolf tribe's army had also calmed the soldiers and civilians who had been terrified by the arrival of the wolf tribe's army at the city gates. They left their homes and gathered on the streets, hoping to catch a glimpse of their king, Ying Zheng.
When Ying Zheng rode into the city on his warhorse, both sides of the street were already filled with people from the border towns. They were all standing on their tiptoes and craning their necks to look at Ying Zheng, who was in the middle of the street.
Although Ying Zheng had transmigrated to this world for a few months, and had been the King of Qin for a long time, this was the first time he had seen such a scene.
However, Ying Zheng was not nervous at all. With a warm smile on his face, he waved to the people on both sides of the street and greeted them like the leaders of the later generations.
"Hey! I thought that Lord Qin Wang was the kind of god who did not eat the mortal world. I didn't expect him to be so amiable. He actually waved at me!!”
One of the lucky ones said excitedly.
"Of course, Lord Qin is a God, a God who leads the people of Great Qin, but he is also a God who is diligent in government and loves the people.!”Someone immediately interrupted.
"Isn't that so? Ever since the treacherous official Lu Buwei was executed, the taxes of our Qin people have been reduced by more than half, and our families have surplus food. This was something that we didn't even dare to think about in the past.”
A white-haired old man in new clothes had a blissful expression on his face as he continued excitedly,
"Not only that, Lord Qin also distributed food and winter clothes to us border people. The new clothes that this old man is wearing were received a few days ago. Lord Qin is really a god who has descended to the mortal world.!”
"There's more…"
When the people who were originally in awe saw Ying Zheng's kind face and even took the initiative to greet them with a smile, they immediately began to discuss excitedly, cheering for the favor that the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had bestowed upon them.
Some of them even knelt on the ground and sang praises of Ying Zheng's achievements, shouting long live the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.
These were the lovely people led by Ying Zheng.
For thousands of years, they had experienced too many hardships, but they were still kind and hardworking. What they pursued was only warm clothes and enough food to live and work in peace and contentment. It was as simple as that.
Ying Zheng might be able to kill his enemies, but he could not bring himself to treat the people of Great Qin who were supporting and praising him with a cold face.
Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who were walking behind Bai Qi and Lu Bu, subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.
They would never have thought that Ying Zheng, the ruler of the entire Great Qin Empire, would do something so intimate to the people, and even take the initiative to greet the lowly commoners without caring about his status. This was something they would never have thought of.
What surprised them even more was the people's supportive attitude towards Ying Zheng.
Since ancient times, how many kings had been able to receive the support and cheers of the people?
Just as the people were cheering and Meng Tian was surprised, a little girl whose clothes were full of patches suddenly walked up to the front of the army, her big eyes looking at Ying Zheng on the white horse with fear and curiosity.
"Whose child dares to block the path of the king? Do you want to be exterminated?!”
A soldier hurriedly berated and was about to chase the little girl away.
When they heard the word " extermination ", the noisy crowd instantly quieted down. They widened their eyes and did not dare to speak.
Great Qin's laws were strict, and there were many crimes that could result in the extermination of nine generations, so no one dared to casually touch them.
"Stop!"
Just as the little girl was about to run away out of fear, Ying Zheng's kind voice rang out. The soldier hurriedly knelt down and stopped chasing the little girl away.
As everyone held their breath and focused their attention, Ying Zheng dismounted from his horse and walked towards the little girl with a smile on his face.
Looking at the tall and handsome King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who was dressed in white, walking towards her, although the little girl's eyes were filled with fear, she did not want to run away like before.
Ying Zheng took off his luxurious cloak and draped it over the little girl's body, then reached out his hand to tuck her slightly disheveled black hair behind her ear, and asked in a warm and gentle voice,"
"Is there something you need?"
"Are you the King of Qin?"
Ying Zheng's heart-warming gesture calmed down the little girl's nervous and awe-inspiring heart. She looked at Ying Zheng with curiosity and joy in her big eyes and said,"
"Mom said that with you here, the wolves won't dare to attack us. We don't have to worry about being captured by them and can spend the new year in peace.”
"You're so young, but you know about the wolf clan?”
When the innocent little girl talked about the wolf clan, the fear in her eyes made Ying Zheng's heart ache.!
"I…I…"
Tears rolled down from the little girl's big eyes in the mist, dripping onto Ying Zheng's hand, which felt unusually hot."
"Last year, my uncle's city was invaded by the wolves. My uncle's family, who loved me dearly, were all…all killed by the wolves…I was afraid that the wolves would capture me…I hate those detestable wolves…boohoo…”
The little girl sobbed as she wiped away her tears. Her heart was heartbroken.
Seeing this scene, the women and old people who were watching also began to sob.
The commoners living at the border had all been harmed and bullied by the wolves. How many of their relatives had been killed or snatched away by the wolves?
Even an insensible little girl was so afraid and hated the wolf clan, let alone these weathered adults.
"Damned wolves! That winter, my family died in their hands. Only I, who was out on business, survived!!”A man's voice was filled with grief.
"Although the wolves are ferocious, now that the king has come to our border, we can definitely drive those cruel and inhumane wolves into the desert and far away from our border city.”
"That's right, the Great King is here, and Great Qin's elite army is here. We'll definitely be able to chase away the Werewolves and lead a good life. The Great King will definitely beat those brutal Werewolves until they don't dare to come again!!”
In the midst of their excitement, all the people's fiery eyes were fixed on Ying Zheng, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, hoping that their king would bring them a bright future.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Ying Zheng stood up with the little girl in his arms, looked at the expectant people of Great Qin, and said in a clear voice,"
"I promise you that from now on, Great Qin's border residents will no longer be harmed by the Werewolves, and you will no longer have to worry about the threat of the Werewolves. I will make these inhumane beasts return to their deserts and never come out again!!”
"I want the wolf race and the world to know that no one can bully my subjects!!”
Ying Zheng's words were clearly heard by every single one of them with the help of their internal energy, causing them to kneel down and shout out in agitation,"
"Long live the King, long live Great Qin! Long live the king, long live Great Qin!"
