chapter xxviii
Chen Lin was really speechless. Now, she had to run around. He hadn't even warmed up from the bench in the military camp, and he had to rush to the City Lord's Estate. Speaking of which, the distance wasn't that close!
Chen Lin looked at the people who crowded the City Lord's Estate…To be precise, they were women! Chen Lin almost fainted! So there were quite a lot of people in North City!
"Everyone!" The ministers did not react, and Chen Lin was disappointed…
"Everyone!" Even if she shouted louder, the officials still did not react. Chen Lin stomped her feet…
"Everyone!" Chen Lin shouted with all her might. However, the ministers still did not react. Chen Lin was furious…
"Dark! Come out!"
"Empress, is there something you need from me?" Dark stood behind Chen Lin.
"Ah! You ghost! You don't even make a sound when you walk?" Chen Lin quickly jumped away and patted her chest.
Ming endured his twitching face. The Empress had finally returned. Was his good days coming to an end?
"I've always been behind you…"
"Then why didn't you answer me when I shouted so loudly just now?!”Chen Lin's face darkened. Was he here to watch a show?
"You didn't call me just now.”Dark felt a little innocent. He only appeared when she called him. Was that wrong?
"You…you…good! You win!" Chen Lin wanted to bite him. The finger pointing at Dark swung down unwillingly!
"How many people?" Chen Lin's cold expression returned. It was so fast that she thought that the person in front of her had a split personality.
"Five thousand." Dark had been by Xuanyuan Che's side for so many years, and he was also a relatively indifferent person, so he calmed down quickly.
Chen Lin nodded. 5,000…That was much easier! It seemed that if there was no war in the north, it would be a good city. Thinking about it, Chen Lin still felt uncomfortable. She had already said that she was not a kind person, but when she thought about how she was an accomplice in so many people's suffering, she felt really bad.
"Take me there." Chen Lin pointed at the roof opposite the main entrance. No matter how they shouted from below, they could not stop. They did not look like well-trained soldiers.
Dark looked in the direction Chen Lin pointed. It was indeed the highest point in the residence.
"Empress, sorry for offending you!" With that, he flew Chen Lin to the roof.
The women below were either tall or thin, beautiful or ugly. They all stopped talking and watched as the handsome man flew up to the roof with a fairy-like figure in his arms.
Standing on the roof, the response from below was very good! Just as she had expected, she could only talk when it was quiet!
"Everyone! Bengong is the Empress of Chen Country! I believe everyone has heard that bengong summoned you here.”Chen Lin stood on the roof. Her innate temperament conquered the women below. Feeling the admiring gazes below, Chen Lin was smug.
"Cough cough!" Dark coughed softly. The Empress was in a state of unease. She was not afraid of falling down even if she stood here…
Hearing the voice, Chen Lin quickly came back to her senses. He couldn't be proud! She still had important matters to attend to!
"Everyone! It was winter! I believe everyone can feel the chill. And the soldiers who protect us are dressed thinly. BenGong can't bear to watch, I believe everyone is like me. So bengong once again hopes that everyone here will voluntarily buy cotton clothes for the soldiers!”
Chen Lin went straight to the point. Then, she naturally had to use emotions to move him.
"I believe you can see clearly what the soldiers have done for everyone here. I am not ordering everyone as the Empress now. I am only Ouyang Wan! A little girl who felt the hardships of the border warriors! I implore everyone to do their part! Do something for the soldiers!"
Chen Lin's self-deprecation naturally moved many people! The audience cheered!
"Thank you for your understanding. I, Ouyang Wan, thank you all!”Chen Lin bowed deeply. Dark, who was about to stop her, retracted his hand in embarrassment after being glared at by Chen Lin.
The people below began to boil. The Empress bowed to everyone…This was…
"Empress, don't worry! We are responsible for the soldiers 'clothes!”
Someone shouted, and everyone followed suit.
Chen Lin smiled happily! This could be considered compensation for the soldiers, even if it was small.
"Everyone, Wan 'er still has a presumptuous request. I hope everyone can fulfill it.”Even though Chen Lin spoke a little louder, she still made herself sound pitiful.
"Empress, just instruct me!" The people below were all women who were either married or unmarried. The people of North City were simple and honest, and everyone was more or less bold and unconstrained. Compared to those pretentious women from the government, Chen Lin preferred such people. At the very least, they would not only think of harming others.
"Wan 'er hopes that everyone can complete 50,000 cotton coats within three days. I knew that this might be a little difficult, but the situation was urgent, and the soldiers had to endure the cold wind every day. I really couldn't bear to see it.”Chen Lin deliberately frowned and covered her chest. Regardless of whether the people below could see it clearly or not, she still had to put on a show. Moreover, she really had mixed feelings in this scene.
" This…" The people below hesitated. Although there were many people here, it was indeed difficult to make 50,000 cotton coats in such a short period of three days.
"Everyone…I know it's difficult, but please do your best. The Snow Dragon Kingdom was also a threat in the face of the rebels. If everyone couldn't unite as one, how could Chen Country get through this crisis?”
"Good! Since the Empress has spoken, we women cannot do anything else. He could only do his best to help the soldiers! Isn't that right, everyone?" The fat woman standing in front of them said.
"Yes, I am!"
"Yeah, I know…"
Chen Lin was overjoyed!
"Alright! Dark, since you brought me up, you have to take me down!”Chen Lin patted Ming's shoulder twice.
Dark immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know who was the one who wanted to come up…
He grabbed Chen Lin's waist and turned around to fly down. Chen Lin sighed in her heart. How good was it to know martial arts! It was even better to return to Qinggong!
"Empress, since the time has been set, then we will return first! As much as possible." The moment Chen Lin landed, the fat auntie leaned forward.
Chen Lin grinned. Since there were so many people, everyone should go back to their own homes! "As for the materials to make the cotton coat…" Chen Lin frowned again."I'll try my best to discuss it with the City Lord…"
"Your Highness must be joking. We will count the number of people and each of us will pay for the things needed!”Chen Lin felt that the fat auntie was especially cute when she smiled! Why did she know her so well? She was about to say that!
"That's good! Thank you, everyone!"
"Then Niangniang, the women will take their leave first.”The plump auntie smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. It was already a miracle to be able to see the Empress here. To be able to be like this with the Empress, motherly to the world, that was even more unimaginable!
Chen Lin stood at the entrance of the City Lord's Estate and smiled as she sent them off. She had already made an agreement with the fat aunt. Three days later, she would lead everyone to deliver the cotton coats.
It wasn't hard to see that the fat aunt was quite popular, and everyone listened to her. Moreover, she was the one who had been talking to her.
" Empress…" Dark finally spoke up as he could not stand it anymore.
"What? What's wrong? The City Lord's Mansion isn't on fire!" Chen Lin quickly pulled Ming away and looked into the residence. There was indeed no fire!
A large drop of cold sweat appeared on Dark's forehead! Looking at the little girl who was looking left and right in front of him…if he had not seen her ability…he would really think that she was retarded!
"What I want to say is that you've been pulling the corners of your mouth like this. Don't you feel your face cramping?”
"Haha! Dark! Your ice-cold face actually knows how to read jokes.”He wanted to continue teasing Dark, but sadly, he realized that…his face was really cramping. It was painful to pull. "Aiyo! "It really cramped…" Chen Lin covered her face and blamed Dark."It must be your jinx!”
Dark couldn't take it anymore. This woman was a complete lunatic! The premise was that she wasn't serious!
One moment, he would smile, the next moment, he would frown, and the next moment, he would be righteous. The expression on his face made him think that he had practiced it before! Dark shook his head and turned around to ignore Chen Lin. He let her babble alone.
If the Empress were to stay by the Emperor's side…the Emperor would change, right? At least he wouldn't be so suspicious anymore…But, after this matter, would it still be okay?
" Empress…Actually…" Meditation advised Chen Lin.
"Stop! I don't want to hear what you have to say now!" Chen Lin quickly stopped Dark from saying what he wanted to say. Looking at his eyes, she could guess what he wanted to say. The hidden guard who had always been protecting him revealed a worried expression. Other than for his master, who else could it be?
Chen Lin rubbed her face and ran to the military camp…
Dark could only accept his fate and follow.
"Where is the City Lord?" The moment Chen Lin entered the military camp, she grabbed a soldier and asked.
That person was startled and his eyes evaded." In…In the main tent…"
Chen Lin frowned as she looked at the soldier who had left. Was she very terrifying? She was a beauty after all! Why did he have to act so scary?
"Empress? Why?" Dark felt that something was wrong with her and asked worriedly.
"Dark, tell me! Am I that scary?" Chen Lin asked sternly.
" This…" Dark scratched his head, feeling a little awkward.
"You're not scary at all!" Forgive him for lying, but if he tells the truth, he will die a miserable death. So God, just pretend you didn't hear him!
"Really?" Chen Lin tilted her head, expressing her distrust. If she was not scary, why would he run so fast?
"It's true!" Dark hurriedly nodded! She was really afraid that if he nodded slowly, he would be tortured.
"Then…"
Dark felt particularly wronged. Don't ask again. His psychological endurance was limited. If he accidentally told the truth…the result could be imagined…He believed that the Empress had a way to make him cry out to the heavens and the earth, but the heavens and the earth would not respond…
"Let's go! Go find the City Lord!" Chen Lin waved her hand magnanimously and strode forward!
But…
After a while, it returned…
Speaking of which, she almost forgot that she had a bad sense of direction…
"Dark! All the big shots had a guide by their side! Therefore! You, walk in front!" Because she was not confident enough, Chen Lin could not help but cough lightly. To cover up her embarrassment.
Dark quickly walked forward and thought to himself,"If you don't know the way, just say it. Why pretend?" Moreover, he didn't act like it at all…Speaking of which, he could only curse in his heart. If he were to say it openly, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see the moon tonight…
……
"Eh? That soldier lied to me? The City Lord isn't here at all!" Chen Lin walked out of the main tent. She did not believe the person guarding the tent when he said that the City Lord was not around. But after barging in…the City Lord was indeed not there!
Chen Lin frowned, feeling that something was wrong!
" Where's the City Lord?!" Chen Lin panicked and quickly pulled the soldiers guarding the tent.
"The City Lord…is at the training ground. "Where are you every day during this period of time…" Faced with Chen Lin's sudden change in expression, the soldier was a little afraid.
What was that? He was at the training ground at this time? In other words…that soldier was lying!
"Dark! Hurry up and chase after the soldier who just left!”Chen Lin spoke very anxiously, and even her hands were trembling…
