"Does Miss Kawa still need to rely on you as a wet nurse to guide her? She has grown up, can't you trust her? She is no longer the one who is at your mercy. Now that the old city lord is not here, the new city lord doesn't want to Regardless of these issues, this is the time for her to stand up. This is related to the honor of her family, can she ignore it... "
Diao Si said a lot of words to encourage Kawa. The woman who came to report was speechless, but Kawa still didn't react at all. She was still too young and had no experience in this area, so she was hesitant.
We can't let the woman see this fragile side of Kawa, otherwise she will go back and tell others. Thinking of this, Diao Si continued: "You can go back. Miss Kawa will come after changing her clothes. The city lord is in a bad mood now. Just don’t bother her anymore.”
The woman was still unwilling to leave, but Diao Si directly told her to go back quickly, and she left uneasily. And the silent Kava had a solemn expression, as if walking on thin ice.
"Sisi, I know this is related to the honor of my family, but I really don't know what to do. Why don't I go find my sister? I believe she won't let her go." Kava said worriedly.
Diao Si walked over and hugged her tightly, and then said to her confidently: "No, don't you know yet? This is your sister's test on you on purpose. How can you let her down? Don't worry, I'm here, I promise to help you solve this matter perfectly."
"But you are just a man?" Kawa said, and Diao Si immediately let go of her. Even Ka Wa looked down on men so much, and these words greatly damaged her image in Diao Si's mind.
"Listen, never underestimate a man, especially a man like me, you know?" Diao Si said with his head held high, Kava was very intoxicated by it, and he suddenly became very feminine again.
After a while, Kawa led Diao Si to the ceremony where Ka Lei was buried. As expected, many generals were gathered there. They still bowed politely when they saw Kawa. But after seeing this scene, Kava became more nervous and uneasy, and even couldn't speak clearly.
"Why is Miss Kawa here? She is still very young... There is actually a man following behind. What is going on?" Soon the generals began to whisper about Kawa.
Kava lowered her head unconsciously as she listened, and was about to walk back. Now Diao Si grabbed her hand tightly and dragged her to the central position in front of the generals.
"Generals, because the city lord Ka Zhu is not in good condition right now, he is unable to come out to see you, but Miss Kawa..." Diao Si spat out these words in a hurry, but the generals below seemed not to listen at all. There is only one reason for this, because he is a man, and this is a world where women are superior to men.
"Then let Miss Kawa speak, because men are useless except for that. We will not listen to what a man says. You should hide in the room and wait." The words of those women really didn't sound good.
"You don't let me speak. Is it because you're afraid of me? Or are you guilty of being a thief?" Diao Si loudly asked the woman who spoke before. After they were stunned, someone started to laugh again.
Diao Si seized their opportunity to be stunned and continued to suppress their arrogance loudly and said: "Miss Kawa already knows that there are spies from the Guangnan Empire among you, and you want to take advantage of the old city lord's fall. Disturbing the military morale of Ruifeng City..."
Unexpectedly, Diao Si's words were really lethal. The women quickly calmed down their arrogance and started talking in low voices. But a fat woman wearing silver armor asked Diao Si: "Why do you say we have a spy here? I said this spy is the person who is hiding and afraid to see us!"
"You actually came here to cause trouble today. Don't you have ulterior motives? Guards, listen, this woman is probably a spy from the empire. Arrest her!" Diao Si showed no sign of weakness and pointed at the fat woman. Just give the order.
However, the guards were stunned because this fat woman was their general, and Diao Si who gave the order was a man.
"What's wrong? Do you also want to rebel? Take her!" Diao Si glared at the guards just like he had commanded the long-eared guys before, so that they had no choice but to walk to the fat woman.
The guards didn't dare to take action yet, but the fat woman lowered her head and followed them obediently. In this way, the generals continued to discuss, and soon someone brought up the situation of Kaju's previous communication with the Guangnan Empire.
"Okay, let's just assume that the Young City Master is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, but who is standing in front of you talking now? It's Miss Kawa! Take a step back and say, if the Young City Master is really a collaborator with the enemy and cannot be our City Lord, Then Kawa will become our city lord. Now, can you be loyal to her? "
Diao Si continued to persuade, and the opposition voices became less and less, but there were still some hard-liners trembling quietly there. They thought that Kawa was too young and inexperienced.
This situation was difficult to deal with, so Diao Si thought for a moment and then said loudly to them: "We have received news that the Guangnan Empire is preparing to send troops to attack us, because they think their spies have successfully disrupted our military morale."
This was a cunning tactic to deflect conflicts, and it seemed to be very effective. When they heard that the Guangnan Empire was going to attack here, the generals were filled with indignation, and some even took out their weapons and shouted.
"Miss Kawa knows that our soldiers in Ruifeng City are extremely brave. This is why the Guangnan Empire has never dared to invade us and did not hesitate to use spies. Now, let us turn our grief and anger into strength..." Diao Si said. Then she stood behind Kawa and raised her hand, causing the generals to shout and get excited, but Kawa was still a little at a loss.
"Tell them that you will definitely lead them, defend their homeland, and crush the ambitions of the Guangnan Empire..." Diao Si whispered into Kawa's ear, asking her to say this to the generals.
Kava saw that Diao Si had turned the situation around so quickly, and could have these generals shouting and speaking unanimously to the outside world. She had no doubts about Diao Si, and she didn't know what to say, so of course she followed what he said.
"Now in order to deal with the invasion of the Guangnan Empire, I will appoint this man Diao Si as our commander-in-chief as the temporary city lord. He will be responsible for all wars against the enemy..."
After Diao Si said this, the generals below were stunned for a moment. Then Kawa also understood the problem, but the words had already been said, and she was just waiting for how Diao Si would handle it.
"Now, for the honor of Ruifeng City, it is the woman who raises your weapons!" Diao Si came out and shouted loudly, so the generals raised their weapons again, and it was too late to question this sudden appearance. The commander-in-chief.
Just as they were shouting and swearing there, some generals suddenly ran over quickly with an eagle-eyed birdman. Diao Si knew something might go wrong again, and now he was worried about what Ka Zhu would do.
"General Yingying, according to reports from the border defenders, the Imperial Army has assembled a very large team near the border. It is likely that they are coming to attack us!"
After she said this, Diao Si was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that when he said the imperial army would attack, they were really about to attack. Now I'm in trouble, what should I do? Now he doesn't have much time to prepare.
But the generals were not afraid at all. They originally thought that the Guangnan Empire was coming, and now they shouted in unison, as if they were not afraid of the imperial troops at all.
"Should we report it to the newly appointed city lord? This is of great importance..." The general named Yingying suddenly asked the generals loudly.
"Now that Miss Kawa has temporarily taken over the position of city lord, don't you know? Why are you reporting to her? We just need to listen to Miss Kawa and teach those soft-whip imperial troops an everlasting lesson!"
The generals quickly refuted Yingying, and the whole team became excited again. But Diao Si in front of them remained silent. He originally thought he would have some time to manage Ruifeng City and make it stronger, but he didn't expect that the imperial army was already about to attack.
There is no choice but to prepare for a war with them. Diao Si is quite confident in this aspect. So he first ordered all the generals to retreat and let them reorganize their troops first. (To be continued)
