Chapter 702: The savior of the national disaster
What do war-torn kingdoms need most? That's a savior.
After the outbreak of the civil war in Xiyu, people tasted the hardships of the war, and many people lost their homes, so they were displaced and became homeless.
The lucky ones were able to survive the flight, and many more unfortunate people even died on the way to escape.
In order to stop the increase in refugees, many cities have decisively chosen to close their city gates so that displaced people cannot enter.
Even Magnolia City could not withstand the influx of refugees, so it chose to close the city gate at a critical moment and no longer let refugees in.
In the huge Xiyu Country, only Mu Qianmei, who listened to the Snow Tower, was sheltering a large number of refugees, and even did not hesitate to build a city for this, and people were full of gratitude for this.
It's just that although people are praising Mu Qianmei's good deeds, no one has ever thought of supporting her to become the new emperor, because the emperor has always been inherited only by people from the royal family.
Wu Shengjie died, the crown prince could succeed to the throne, the crown prince was assassinated, and the second prince was the only one qualified to inherit the throne.
Whether people want to or not, they all feel that Wu Changkong is the most qualified person to inherit the throne, and it is precisely because of this that many people chose to go to Wu Changkong after Wu Changhao's assassination.
Some people who had already formed an indissoluble enmity with Wu Changkong because of the war retreated to the next best thing and chose to defect to the feudal forces that established themselves as kings.
Only a small number of people who finally Wu Changhao continued to insist on guarding the palace and making the last struggle.
In such an environment, ordinary people lose their direction, do not know who is worthy of their dependence, and live in a state of confusion all day long, blindly waiting for the war to end, and then return to normal life.
However, the words of the Lingxu Zhenren made them suddenly wake up, if there is no more powerful person, the Xiyu Kingdom is likely to be destroyed, and they will become slaves of the country.
And the slaves who died in the country will live a life that is inferior to cattle and horses.
No one wants to live such a miserable life.
Who can save them? The Lingxu Zhenren showed them a path, that is, to follow Mu Qianmei, she is a person with great luck and a person who is destined to return.
Only she can save the people from the dire flames of war.
So, people found the backbone at once, combined with Mu Qianmei's otherworldly talents shown in more than a year, people firmly believe that she is a goddess from the divine realm.
If it weren't for the goddess, how could she be so good.
Because of this, the rumors about Mu Qianmei spread more and more, and then quickly became the goddess in the minds of many people.
However, Mu Qianmei herself had no idea about the rumors that were being spread by the outside world, and as soon as she and Liu Tingfeng entered the Youlan Palace, Yao Mengchen, who got the news, had already hurriedly gone downstairs to greet her.
As soon as Yao Mengchen saw Mu Qianmei, he immediately said excitedly:
"Congratulations to Qianmei for winning the Lingyun List individual competition, this is the most beautiful time in our Xiyu Country!"
However, after congratulating, he immediately said gloomily:
"It's a pity that Your Majesty died without waiting for Qianmei to win the championship! Today's West Rain Country...... Ay! ”
Yao Mengchen sighed deeply with mixed feelings.
Without waiting for Mu Qianmei to speak, she continued:
"Qianmei's triumphant return should have been celebrated, but unfortunately the current Xiyu Country is in a special period, and this matter has to be abandoned."
Mu Qianmei avoided this topic and said:
"It's just a fluke to win the championship, I came back for so long, I should have come to visit the Yao Hall Lord, but I have been busy with affairs every day, so I haven't been able to come over, until today, because I want to discuss things with Prime Minister Lu, I finally have half a day to spare, so I hurriedly came over, Yao Hall Master don't come unharmed, right?"
Yao Mengchen saw that Mu Qianmei didn't want to talk about Dabi, so he didn't mention it anymore, and immediately replied according to Mu Qianmei's words:
"The country is in turmoil, no one can live in peace, our Youlan Palace originally did not interfere in any national affairs, and now we can't be alone, every day we are assisting the imperial court to appease the displaced people, trying to let everyone have a shelter from the wind and rain, and can eat a life-saving meal, and also spend the whole day in a busy and busy way."
Speaking of this, Yao Mengchen immediately exclaimed:
"If you don't do it, you don't know, this resettlement of homeless people is really hard, our Youlan Hall is only responsible for the homeless people in the vicinity, I'm so busy that I'm dizzy, Qianmei has sheltered 80 million homeless people, I really don't know how you did it."
Mu Qianmei replied in a low voice:
"I just provided them with a plan, specific things are done by professional people, building a city, it takes a lot of labor, and the displaced people are actually relying on themselves to support themselves, in the early stage, we listened to the investment of Xuelou is relatively large, but after many businessmen joined in the later stage, we were responsible for management."
Yao Mengchen thought of the current situation in Xiyu Country, and couldn't help but say with concern:
"Today's Xiyu Country, there are many feudal towns, each of them has its own government, and the imperial court almost doesn't have much influence anymore, if it goes on like this, in the end, Wu Changkong will enter the court!"
Mu Qianmei replied indifferently:
"The current Wu Changkong has basically been hollowed out, if he enters the court, Xiyu Country will be reduced to a vassal state of other countries, and the people will be equivalent to the labor of other countries, in fact, it is no different from the death of the country, but there is just one more puppet emperor."
Yao Mengchen said worriedly:
"Yes, he borrowed the power of the Demon Realm, and allowed the other four countries to settle in the Xiyu Country, with his ready-made residual power, it is not as powerful as a large feudal town! He can't control the situation in Xiyu Country at all, and he also shoulders the charge of killing the king, plus he doesn't have the jade seal of the country, even if he claims to be the emperor, it is not right! ”
Mu Qianmei nodded and said:
"Because of this, we came to visit Prime Minister Lu today, hoping to preserve the last remaining strength of the imperial court, retain this little spark, and hope to make a comeback."
Yao Mengchen asked curiously:
"Will Prime Minister Lu accept your suggestion?"
Mu Qianmei thought for a while and replied slowly:
"Judging from the conversation at noon, he deliberately accepted it, but the specific result, depending on the results of their court meeting in the afternoon, I estimate that there will definitely be some trouble, after all, some of them have lost any hope for the imperial court, some people will take their own people to defect to other forces, and in the end there will be fewer people left."
"However, for us, what we need most now is the part of the people who are most loyal to the country, the people are more valuable than the many, and the people who can withstand these tests and stay are the people we can reuse, and if a new court is established in the future, these people are the core figures of the court."
Yao Mengchen looked at Mu Qianmei steadily, and after a while, he said leisurely:
"Why do you still look so sober and calm in this situation? Since the death of the emperor, almost no one still has any hope for the imperial court, even Prime Minister Lu, who is now in power, is just making the last struggle, and the reason why he still wants to increase his troops to the front line is just to cause some more consumption to Wu Changkong. ”
"Qianmei is still so confident in the future of the country, from this point of view alone, your vision is beyond the reach of countless people!"
Mu Qianmei said softly:
"In fact, this is the same as Dabi, self-confidence is not necessarily successful, but if you are not confident, you will inevitably fail."
"When I participated in the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, my strength was not strong, and it was with this confidence that I finally won the first place, and when I came to the Outer Heaven Lingyun List, I was only the third favorite to win the championship, and finally won the championship with this confidence."
"The same is true of war, I am now the lord of a gang, and at the same time the lord of a city, I must make everyone feel that we still have hope of winning, just like a commander on the battlefield, until the last moment, you can't give up easily, because no matter how big the difficulty, there is a way to solve it, just to see how to crack it."
"The current Xiyu Country seems to be full of dangers, but in fact, there are great opportunities hidden in it, because all the forces are actually in a state of equilibrium, and no one is willing to easily break this balance, such as the Demon Realm, although they secretly support Wu Changkong, but because of the existence of the other four countries, they dare not rashly send troops, so they can only continue to wait and see."
"And although the four countries have sent troops to settle in the Xiyu country, they can only make a small fight and slowly control the area where they are stationed, but they dare not make a big move, because they are also afraid of big contradictions and frictions with other countries, and whoever moves first may fall into a passive situation first."
"Even if the independent feudal towns in the Xiyu Country can only choose to silently develop their own forces, and no one dares to take the step of devouring other forces, because the first person will consume more, and if the consumption is too large, the strength will decline, and there is a danger of being swallowed."
"In this way, almost everyone does not dare to move, and those who are still fighting recently are only the army of the imperial court and the second prince, which are consuming each other every day."
"However, due to the death of the emperor, the imperial court has been rapidly disintegrating, such consumption is no longer meaningful, the best way is to collect the troops first, recuperate for a period of time, preserve the last strength, and then re-plan new strategies and tactics, in the case of full preparation, step by step to recover the old mountains and rivers."
Listening to Mu Qianmei's words, the melancholy on Yao Mengchen's face suddenly lightened a lot, and she said with a little excitement:
"Reclaim the old mountains and rivers? This sentence is really good, somehow, as soon as I heard these words, my heart couldn't help but be full of blood, when everyone was confused, it was rare for Qianmei to keep such a clear head, this counterattack, if you lead, I am full of confidence! ”
