Chapter 444: Is He an Idiot?

pinch her chin, intending to force a confession his way, but An Xuetang seemed to know what he was about to do. She stood up abruptly and ran to the door, smiling sweetly. "Ah Jing, you play by yourse...What's up

Listening to their chatter, all they talked about was how terrible Mo Junyi was.

Hearing these insults directed at Mo Junyi, An Xuetang instantly felt a surge of anger. She was fiercely protective of those she considered her own, and no one dared to speak ill of them in her presence.

So hearing these commoners insult her family's Ziling like this, she knew they were just being used as pawns, but she couldn't control the anger surging within her.

An Xuetang's grip on her chopsticks tightened. She had made sure the message she sent out didn't mention her; she had given all the credit for conquering the Dà Yuè country to Mò Jūn Yì.

But now the news spreading from these commoners was that she had become the hero, while Mo Junyi had become the one who held them back.

The Mo Junyi they speak of is not only holding them back, but according to the rumors they spread, he's a complete "idiot" who knows nothing and just gives pointless orders!

And listening to how real they made it sound, each one telling the story like they had seen it with their own eyes. At this point, it was obvious that someone was deliberately doing this, these people were intentionally targeting Mo Junyi.

Thinking about it, the one who would be so bored as to slander Mo Junyi must be Emperor Tianba's dog.

That day, the puppet emperor of the Ba Nation must have been afraid that Mo Junyi's fame would grow. His heroic deeds were spreading among the people.

Word of mouth spreads quickly. As time goes by, everyone will know that there is such a clever crown prince, the son of the Prince’s mansion in Tianba Kingdom. And then, perhaps Mu Junyi will become the second Mu Yunjing. Once the people start supporting him, it will be difficult for the emperor to deal with Mu Junyi arbitrarily.

At this moment, hearing that people were still spreading those harmful rumors about Mo Junyi, An Xuetang and Feng Ming subconsciously looked at each other.

The two didn't need to say a word as they instinctively went together. Feng Ming immediately beckoned one of the soldiers beside him to lean in, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After a moment, the soldier nodded slightly to Feng Ming in acknowledgement, then turned to the crowd of commoners and revealed his identity as a member of the Northern Frontier Army.

The soldier's expression was stern, and the common people were already afraid of officials. Now they were terrified by him.

But the soldier did nothing. He just wore a grim expression and then began to explain Mo Junyi's deeds to them.

He was a member of the Beijang army, and due to his frequent battles, he carried a chilling aura that could be seen faintly on him. This presence terrified the common people.

People have always been afraid of those who are more powerful than themselves, so what the soldier said at this time, the common people almost believed it to be true.

Especially this soldier really had that air of a soldier, and an aura of killing intent that he unintentionally revealed. So almost everything they said about him was believed.

It has to be admitted that these days, the common people are indeed "naive." When someone stronger than them speaks, especially if they hold an official or military position, they almost unconditionally believe everything they say.

> The most important thing is that these days, people fear the military. Therefore, they have gotten into the habit of believing whatever the soldiers and officials say.

At this point, the soldier told these people what Feng Ming had instructed, and he especially urged them to be sure to spread the truth and not let Prince Mo Jun Yi suffer any grievances.

Mingming, the Great Yue Kingdom was conquered by Duke Mo Junyi. Now, everyone has ignored his achievements and even spread such inappropriate rumors. If Duke Mo Junyi heard this, he would surely be extremely dissatisfied.

Should that fervor and fighting spirit ever fade, it would be a tremendous loss for the Tianba nation.

When the soldiers spoke these words, the commoners immediately became very serious. They also felt that it was wrong to slander such a meritorious prince; his efforts and abilities should be known to everyone.

Thus, at this moment, the common people all volunteered, saying they would definitely do their best to help the prince clear his name.

The soldier then nodded in satisfaction and returned to An Xuetang and the others.

After he returned, An Xuetang put down her chopsticks and looked at him, "You don't have to follow us into the capital this month. You are responsible for staying here these days. After we leave, the emperor's people will continue to spread rumors about Ziling."

"So you are in charge of the rumors circulating in this city. When you hear them speaking ill of Zi Ling, deal with it just as you did today. But your own safety is also important; try not to fall into anyone's hands."

The soldier immediately bowed, "Yes, my subordinate will obey."

Then, An Xuetang pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Since this emperor is so full of tricks, he probably didn't just spread these rumors about Du Ling in this city. He must have also sent people to spread them in other cities."

Feng Ming nodded slightly in agreement with An Xue Tang's words, "The emperor doesn't want the world to remember Mo Jun Yi's achievements, so he will definitely have people slander Mo Jun Yi in front of the common people, giving them a preconceived bias. If something really happens in the future, he will find it easier to find an excuse to get rid of Mo Jun Yi."

But if Mo Junyi were to become the second Mo Yunjing, no one would agree to him arbitrarily disposing of the people. This is the purpose of the Emperor Dog, to ruin Mo Junyi's reputation and make the world have a bad impression of him first, perhaps making things much easier afterward.

After listening to Feng Ming's analysis, An Xuetang sneered, "This dog emperor has so many thoughts. It's fine that he dealt with my A Jing before and bullied my A Jing, but now that I am here, no one is allowed to slander my Ziling or bully him!"

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Fu’er, "Fu'er, I'll write a letter right now. You figure out a way to get it back to Beijang. This concubine wants Yun Yi to send some soldiers to every city to keep an eye on things and help Zi Ling recover his reputation."

Mo Junyi's reputation must be made known. Doesn't the puppet emperor want to ruin Mo Junyi's reputation

Then she tried every means to turn Mo Junyi into a hero, into the most powerful little war god in the world!

At that moment, upon hearing An Xue Tang's words, Fu'er's heart skipped a beat. She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded, "Yes, slave girl will go now."

As they were talking, Fu'er picked up the handkerchief beside her and wiped her mouth. With a sudden movement, she stood up. Her anxious and hurried demeanor, as if she couldn't wait to leave, left everyone staring in surprise.

Looking at Fú'er like this, Níng'er, as a fellow disciple, helplessly propped her forehead, but she seemed used to Fú'er's antics.

An Xue Tang and Hua Duo er smiled at each other.

But Fengming, who was standing beside her, couldn't bear to watch any longer. He shook his head slightly and stared at Fu'er with a helpless expression, uttering softly, "Fu'er, are you an idiot"ly, his emotions a tangled mix. His gaze at the portrait was equally complex."Though the king didn't have this letter, he had several letters from this man to his mother hidden by his mother."From the...
