Chapter 607 - The Way of the Emperor (1/2)

According to the villagers who had escaped, although Luoshui Town was not big, tens of thousands of people lived there.

Unfortunately, none of them had survived.

Therefore, Long Tianyu should not go to such a dangerous place in person.

However, the atmosphere at this moment was a little delicate.

Lin Mengya took a casual look around at everyone present.

In fact, she was already aware of the result of this dispute.

The reason why she had come in was that this matter would involve her sooner or later.

Instead of making things difficult for everyone at that time, it would be better for her to show her attitude now.

“The prince must have been carefully considering it. I am just a woman and should not intervene in this matter. But if you insist on me getting involved, I have only one thing to say: Your Highness, please take care of yourself and come back as soon as possible.”

The first part of her speech reasonable, but the latter half made all the people in the tent look at her with different expressions.

“Princess, what are you…”

Zhu Qiang was a little anxious.

Lin Mengya didn’t know most of the people there, but she knew that Zhu Qiang was indeed devoted to Long Tianyu. He was just worried about Long Tianyu’s safety.

It was because of this that she tugged at Zhu Qiang’s sleeve and gently shook her head at him.

No matter how anxious Zhu Qiang was, he had to show respect to her.

He then followed her to stand in the corner of the tent with a dejected look on his face.

With Lin Mengya’s attitude, others naturally lowered their opposing voices.

Unfortunately, some people still did not understand her painstaking efforts.

“Your Highness, you can’t put yourself in danger! Zhu Qiang is right. If anything happened to you, what would we do?”

The speaker was an official in his fifties.

Lin Mengya hadn’t seen him before. He probably wasn’t an official from the capital city.

Long Tianyu had planted a lot of seeds over the years, so she was not surprised.

Although the man looked respectful and anxious, there seemed to be a trace of impatience in his eyes.

Just now, she had briefly looked around and seen why Long Tianyu would choose to make such an important decision at this time.

If he took this step, it would be the beginning of his journey to becoming an emperor.

From now on, there could only be subordinates around him. No one could make decisions on his behalf.

Even if the pretext was that it was for his own good.

An emperor had to have a resolute heart.

Therefore, she chose to be the first to follow Long Tianyu’s decision in front of everyone.

With that man’s opposition, the quarrel that had just been suppressed began again.

Long Tianyu, who was sitting at the head of the table, frowned slightly.

There was no emotion in his deep eyes. He looked calmly at his subordinates, who were quarreling.

At this moment, Lin Mengya held Zhu Qiang’s sleeves tightly, not allowing this reckless man to get involved in these things.

Although Zhu Qiang was a rough man who led troops into battle, it did not mean that he had no brains.

Looking at the current situation, despite how stupid he was, he had noticed something.

He had no choice but to retreat to Lin Mengya’s side and remain silent.

“You’re wrong. Doctor Gu has developed the antidote to the plague, so even if the prince goes there personally, he may not be in danger. You all said you’re worried about the prince’s safety. In that case, how about you go there to comfort the victims and investigate the case on his behalf?”

The one who spoke was Lin Kui, who had always been loyal and was Long Tianyu’s right-hand man.

He had been by Long Tianyu’s side for the longest time and was highly regarded by him. As such, what he said made the officials speechless.

The atmosphere stiffened. If it weren’t for Long Tianyu’s expressionless face, this quarrel would have continued for a long time.

“Please make the decision, Your Highness. But please do not act rashly.”

The problem was handed back to Long Tianyu.

At that moment, Zhu Qiang completely understood why Lin Mengya had stopped him from getting involved in these things.

Although loyalty was rare, some people would more or less cross the line.

In a game of various parties, if a general was restrained by others and had to listen to other people’s opinions all the time, they would fall apart sooner or later.

Moreover, Long Tianyu was a man of great wisdom and knew his own mind.

“I’ve decided. It’s imperative to make a trip to Luoshui Town. Those who won’t obey can leave now.”

When Long Tianyu said these words in an extremely serious tone, the day’s debate came to an end.

No one dared to refute him. There was a calmness in his deep, dark eyes.

He was born to be noble, so every decision he made carried with it an irresistible dignity.

“Yes, Your Highness.”
