1671: The Golden Rolls 3

The Golden Rolls 3

They spoke in such a uniform tone that there was no contradiction.2

The King, who had been seated in the throne for so long with a dark face, finally smiled. He was very satisfied by the answer.

That was exactly what he had been waiting for.

When the answer was given, the King turned to Gu Chaoyan.

"What do you think, Phoenix Girl? You are the only one who holds the Golden Rolls. The Golden Rolls can be used for the civilians' safety, you won't hold it for your own selfish reason, will you?" The King threatened.

Clearly, if Gu Chaoyan could not present the Golden Rolls, the whole event would not end.

He was threatening her with the civilians' safety as well as the ministers and officers' voices. She would make many enemies with those people if she disapproved.

Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly.

Sure enough… the King was able to do things like this.

Elder Qianji was waiting confidently next to Gu Chaoyan, trying to see what else she could do.

He did not think that there was anything else the Phoenix Girl could do about it.

Elder Qianji said proudly, "Phoenix Girl, if you offer the Golden Rolls, then we will be on the same path from today on. We will do anything to help you. Pills and weapons from Piaomiao Pavilion would be available to share. We will give you military forces so that your country can become more powerful than ever."

Elder Qianji continued to pressure Gu Chaoyan.

He seemed to want to corner Gu Chaoyan in a dead end.

Gu Chaoyan was still standing on the same spot, without frowning. She said quietly, "Civilians are being hurt by monsters, but King, you never sent out any rescue teams, yet you say this horrible thing after a few days. That is not something I can agree with."

"…"

"The monsters in the capital were all killed by the Head of the Snow Territory. Why should I make a deal with Piaomiao Pavilion with the Golden Rolls?" Gu Chaoyan interrogated.

"…"

"King, are you really considering it for the civilians' sake?"

"…"

"You grounded Lord Huai and the Crown Prince without any reason. Monsters have been hurting people but you did not send out forces. You refused to go to the morning sessions, and you have even fired Prime Minister Chu and General Liu."

"…"

"King, have you been possessed?"

"…"

"Piaomiao Pavilion boasts that it is a very capable place, but King, have you ever sent any ambassadors to check on this place? Do you even know where Piaomiao Pavilion is located? How many people are there living at Piaomiao Pavilion?"

"…"

"None of these have been confirmed, but you are offering the most precious thing in the Saint Divine Land. Have you really considered this?"

"…"

"I can't be on your side. So I, the Phoenix Girl, won't present what is asked for."

"…"

Gu Chaoyan turned to the ministers and offices, saying furiously, "You are working for the King, but you do not remind the King of anything strange going on. What is the point of keeping you all here?"

"…"

"Although the King is summoning the ministers and officers for discussions, I believe that you might as well summon all the civilians to talk about it instead. It is the same."

"…"

"I have other things to do. I am leaving."

"…"

"I hope that you can give me a proper reason for Lord Huai's situation!"

"…"

"Also, one more thing that I believe I should tell you."
