Chapter 432 The Shocking Truth
On this side, Shen Shaodong felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but sigh after listening to the guards' report on the thrilling and bloody dispute between the eldest prince and the second prince.
That long sigh, as if carrying a thousand years of helplessness and vicissitudes, echoed in the tent for a long time.
His thoughts drifted back to the present day, recalling the peaceful and tranquil life of his homeland, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Contrasting this with the cruel and bloody royal feud before him, his heart grew heavier. "Alas, throughout history, the royal family has engaged in such cruel and oppressive struggles for power."
He pondered secretly, his eyes revealing determination and perseverance, "I only hope that with my humble efforts, I can bring a little change to this land in this strange world. Even if it's just a spark, I hope it can become a prairie fire."
Just as I was immersed in my thoughts, suddenly, a loud commotion came from outside the tent, like a surging tide sweeping over me.
Shen Shaodong became alert instantly, his eyes flashed, and he picked up his sword without thinking. With the agility of a cheetah, he flashed and ran out of the tent.
As he left the tent, he was slightly stunned by the scene before him. Whether it was the seriously wounded and stumbling soldiers or the safe and strong soldiers, they were all pouring out of the tents like a tide.
Everyone looked up, pointing their fingers to the sky, their faces filled with fear and confusion, and they shouted, "Look! What the hell is that monster?"
"It's a dragon! Oh my God, it really is a dragon!" A trembling shout was particularly loud in the crowd.
As the object in the air gradually approached, visibility became clearer, and everyone finally saw that it was a majestic dragon, with people densely packed on its back. In front of the dragon, a large white goose was flying, with two people sitting steadily on its back.
Shen Shaodong had sharp eyes and immediately recognized it as his daughter, Shen Li. A huge weight lifted off his shoulders, and he immediately shouted to everyone, "Don't panic, everyone! That's Princess Fuxi. She's bringing reinforcements to support us! The dragon and the fairy goose are her master's pets. Don't be afraid!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally panicked crowd instantly burst into thunderous cheers.
The gloom on the soldiers' faces disappeared, replaced by joy and excitement.
"Princess Fuxi is here, doesn't that mean Xuanfeng Sanren might come along too? With a deity here, we can definitely beat those bandits to a pulp and make them never dare to covet our Beichen territory again!"
In the crowd, everyone was talking at once, their desire and confidence for victory burning like a raging fire.
Inside the tent, the eldest prince Xuan Chen and the second prince Xuan Heng also heard the noise and looked at the strange scene outside the tent.
Xuan Chen smiled bitterly, raised his hand and gently pointed at Shen Li, and said to Xuan Heng: "Second brother, the one with real ability is her. The heights she has reached cannot be caught up with by envy, jealousy, or resentment. She is like a bright star hanging high in the sky, shining brightly, leaving no one behind."
Xuan Heng was silent for a long time, his brows furrowed, as if he were internally pondering over and over again. Suddenly, he looked up at Xuan Chen and asked, "Brother, do you think that now that our father has adopted Fuxi as his adopted daughter, will he pass the throne to her in the future?"
Hearing this, Xuan Chen couldn't help but look up, following Shen Li's figure with envy, and said slowly: "I really admire Shen Li. From the first time her news reached the capital, to everything she did for Beichen later, every single one of them was for the country and the people.
The high-yield grains she brought fed countless people; the movable type printing technology she presented at the age of eight promoted the spread and development of culture. If she hadn't been in a coma for four years, our Beichen would have undergone earth-shaking changes because of her.
Xuan Chen turned his head and looked directly at Xuan Heng, saying seriously, "As for the throne, do you think that someone like her still needs the emperor to bestow it upon her?
She possesses something that no one else in this world has: a divine master, magical elixir, and the heart and ability to serve her country and her people wholeheartedly."
Xuan Chen paused, took a breath, and continued, "I even suspect that she's not a mortal at all. Perhaps she's a deity sent down to earth to help the world. How can we use our worldly perspective to speculate on her ambitions and pursuits?"
Xuan Heng stared blankly at the beautiful girl on the dragon's back, his thoughts running wild.
Indeed, the Fuxilou run by Shen Li is something that others cannot reach even if they ride their horses at full speed.
All the items sold in the building were strange and unheard of. Ever since she fell into a coma, Fuxilou seemed to have lost its soul, and those wonderful items never appeared in the world again.
Looking back on the past, he actually secretly coveted Fuxilou and wanted to get a piece of the pie. Xuan Heng couldn't help but laugh at himself, feeling that he was really overestimating his own capabilities at that time.
A remarkable woman like Shen Li would surely thrive and prosper even if she left Beichen Country and went to other countries.
What's more, she now has a god-like master protecting her. No matter where she goes, she will be treated like a pearl by everyone. It will not be like in Beichen, where there are always people deliberately slandering her.
