Chapter 332: Go back to Shangjing? No, go to Kyoto, have a beginning and an end!

Li Chengru arrived at the hall with excitement and trepidation, and saw that Chen Luo had already poured tea at a seat nearby.

But he just took a glance and then shifted his gaze to Chen Luo.

Looking at that stunning appearance, his heart ached, and he couldn’t help but ask in a hoarse voice: “Are you okay?”

The corners of Chen Luo’s mouth twitched a few times, and he resisted the urge to slap this man to death.

What a sin, what a sin!

He knew how stunning his appearance was, and there was basically no man who would not be attracted to him!
That’s why he has been hiding in the harem!

There are no men there, only eunuchs and palace maids!

In the morning court before, those ministers were scared to death of him, fearing that if they looked at him for a few more seconds, they would be taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guards for tea!
This also means that he has never encountered such a thing before!

But he never expected that just wanting to win over Li Chengru and plant another thorn in the side of the Qing army would end up creating such a trouble!

This was really beyond his expectations!
But he still has to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will definitely be a trouble in the future!
After all, Li Chengru is the eldest prince of Qing Kingdom. Now that Qing Kingdom has just been destroyed, people are already in panic!

If Li Chengru died again, it would very likely cause a stress reaction among the people!

In addition, Li Chengru can also be considered a meritorious official!
He is a person who can clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment!
Chen Luo’s eyelids twitched a few times, and his face was cold: “Is this palace okay? It has nothing to do with General Li, right?”

“General Li, why don’t you bow when you see me?”

“I am a member of the harem. Although I am not in the limelight, I am still your majesty’s queen. The look you give me is extremely disrespectful!”

“But considering that you are my cousin, I will let this matter go!”

Hit me with a stick and give me a sweet date!
Let Li Chengru recognize his identity, put himself in the right position, and then give him some sweet treats to win him over!
It’s a very simple, but very useful method!

And he didn’t think Li Chengru really loved him to death!
At most, the original kindness has been beautified!

As he expected, Li Chengru turned pale upon hearing this, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, “Your Majesty, I, the guilty minister, Li Chengru, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!”

As he spoke, he knelt down on the ground and didn’t dare to look up at Chen Luo again.

Originally, he just wanted to meet Chen Luo and had no other ideas.

In fact, if there was a hint of filth in his eyes, Chen Luo would have raised his hand and slapped him on the head!
Chen Luo waved his sleeves lightly, and an invisible force lifted Li Chengru up: “No need to plead guilty!”

“My cousin made the right choice!”

“It’s just that you, my cousin, are aware of your own identity. There are some things that I cannot explain too clearly, but you should also understand what I mean!”

“I will report this to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to reward my cousin!”

“I only hope that my cousin will live up to His Majesty’s grace and contribute to the prosperity of this world!”

The official words made Li Chengru look bitter.

The only consolation was that Chen Luo still called him cousin.

Li Chengru cupped his hands and said in a hoarse voice: “I will not let down the Queen and Your Majesty’s grace!”

“I am seeking an audience today on behalf of the soldiers from various towns!”

“Now that the situation has been resolved, they are all citizens of Northern Qi. I hope the Queen will show mercy and spare their lives!”

As he spoke, Li Chengru bent his knees again and wanted to kneel down.

But no matter how hard he tried, there was an invisible force supporting him, preventing him from kneeling!
Chen Luo didn’t want to waste time talking to him, and nodded directly: “I will report what my cousin said to His Majesty!”

“Your Majesty is kind-hearted and will not commit murder in vain!”

Those soldiers were the ones who were captured when Fan Xian and others led the rebellion, and they had no time to react. They were all from their local city.

These people have never stopped the Northern Qi, and there is no need to kill them. The most important point is that their families and relatives are all in their local cities!
If these people were killed, it would easily cause a riot among the people!
Even if Li Chengru didn’t say this, he would order the release of these people!
Li Chengru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his heart was finally at ease.

Then he cupped his hands again and said, “I know I shouldn’t talk about this, and I’m not qualified!”

“But I still want to say it!”

“I hope that the Empress and His Majesty can show mercy and allow the soldiers of Qing who died in the battle to rest in peace!”

“They shouldn’t have died. It was only because of Emperor Qing’s ambition that they ended up like this!”

“Now that Emperor Qing is dead and the Qing Kingdom is gone, I hope the Empress and His Majesty can show mercy!”

“I also know that I have committed serious sins. I wish to stay here forever to guard the spirits of those soldiers and atone for the sins of my Li family!”

After saying this, Li Chengru bowed again and said, “I hope the Queen will agree!”

Although the people were massacred by the soldiers of Northern Qi, the cause of this incident was Emperor Qing’s ambition!
Emperor Qing’s attempt to annex Northern Qi led to today’s outcome!

Although the Northern Qi Dynasty slaughtered all these 600,000 soldiers, even those who surrendered were not spared!

But in the final analysis, this is a national war, and the winner should execute the loser. This is the only right thing to do!
If it is Northern Qi that is defeated, then not a single elite soldier in Shanhai City will survive!
War is cruel, and the battlefield is also the burial place of countless lives!

As the descendant of Emperor Qing, all he could do was to keep vigil for these soldiers!

Not to mention being able to pay for the trouble caused by Emperor Qing’s ambition, even if it can only make him feel better, that would be enough!
Chen Luo nodded in agreement: “I will report this matter to His Majesty!”

“Cousin, there is no need to blame yourself. As a general on the battlefield, you should also know what this war means!”

“This is not something you can stop on your own. Even your existence can’t affect anything!”

These words were said mercilessly, but they made Li Chengru feel a lot better.

Indeed, his presence was irrelevant in this war.

In fact, his role was just to open the gate of Longmen Pass and let Fan Xian and others enter the city!

Other than that, he did nothing!

Li Chengru took a deep breath, took the teacup floating in front of him, and drank it all without hesitation.

“On behalf of the soldiers, I would like to thank the Queen and His Majesty!”

He bowed respectfully again, and only after receiving Chen Luo’s response did he turn and leave.

Only after he walked out of the door did he raise his head and look back with red eyes.

“Take care, cousin!”

After the low murmur, Li Chengru seemed to have let go of something and left quickly.

As a grandmaster, Chen Luo could naturally hear his soft whisper.

He just rolled his eyes at this.

Who is his cousin?
Anyway, he is not!
Haitang Duoduo walked out from behind the curtain and asked softly, “Is everything done?”

“Doudou sent a message, asking us to return to Shangjing as soon as possible!”

Chen Luo did not nod in agreement, but looked towards the direction of Kyoto, the capital of the former Qing Kingdom.

Seeing his reaction, Haitang Duoduo seemed to have expected it. She smiled and said, “I know what you want to do. I’ve already replied to Doudou!”

“Go if you want!”

“Now that the overall situation has been decided, it is indeed time to finish what has begun!”
