Chapter 271

Even though this wasn't the first time he had heard such a slogan!

Yet... every time this slogan echoed in Wang Jian's ears, it made his heart pound with terror!

But he truly could not understand why, why such an absurd slogan had been shouted out!

Thus, he bowed before Ying Su and began to ask for the reason!

Ying Su said, "When this phrase first emerged, I recall it was during the disaster relief in Dang Commandery, when I mixed sand into the relief grain!"

"Later, someone shouted out this very sentence!"

"After that, somehow, this phrase spread!"

"Almost everyone, when expressing their gratitude, loyalty, and affection toward me, begins to shout that the new Emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

Ying Su smiled.

Upon hearing the full story explained clearly, instantly, cold sweat streamed down Wang Jian's head, and then, bowing before Ying Su, he said: "Your Majesty has united the hearts of the generals and the people; based on this alone, Your Majesty's name is destined to be handed down through the ages!"

Ying Su looked at Wang Jian for a while without speaking!

Wang Jian, meanwhile, swallowed his saliva again and again, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead over and over!

Finally, Ying Su said nothing, but left Wang Jian behind and headed into the distance!

Watching Ying Su's departing footsteps, Wang Jian's heart was so chaotic it felt as though it had risen right up into his throat!

At that moment, he truly wanted to do just like those soldiers and shout a phrase about the new Emperor far surpassing the First Emperor to express his loyalty!

But... the words reached his lips, yet he forcibly swallowed them back down!

Such great disrespect!

Truly such great disrespect!

He dared not!

Truly he dared not!

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Ying Su departed!

As for himself, he returned to his own tent!

Inside the tent, Ying Su was checking his points!

Currently, he possessed a full sixty thousand points!

Sixty thousand points?

So many?

Indeed!

All these points had been accumulated over this period!

Every time Li Yuanba defeated the Xiongnu, his points would increase!

Besides that, there were the two hundred thousand peasant soldiers within Xianyang City, Zhang Liang collecting taxes, the common people singing praises, and so on!

All of this was increasing his points!

Therefore, during this period, even though he had not accomplished any major deeds, his points were skyrocketing!

In just a few short months, they had risen to over sixty thousand!

And at this moment, he wanted to draw a lottery!

Just earlier, while touring the wounded soldiers' camp to comfort the injured, he saw that the methods these military doctors used to treat wounds were truly too backward.

For such severe injuries, they simply pressed plant ash directly onto them!

Then... they pressed cloths that who knew how many times had been washed on top of that!

Doing this made infection very likely!

He very much wanted to stop all this, but... what good would stopping it do?

After stopping it, who would treat the wounded and sick?

Could it be... himself?

He did understand some medical principles!

But it was only a tiny bit of understanding!

Just this little bit, in the eyes of an expert, did not even count as knowing the surface!

Compared to the military doctors here, he did not know how much worse he was!

Therefore, he wanted to draw a lottery!

To draw some fierce talents from the medical field!

Moreover, they had to be from the modern or near-modern era!

The closer to the modern era, the better!

Just as he was thinking this, preparing to draw the lottery!

At this very moment, suddenly, Yu Yu Huatian entered his tent, bowed before him, and said:

"Your Majesty, we have captured a woman!"

"Hmm?"

Ying Su looked at him with confusion!

Yu Yu Huatian said, "This woman has a head full of white hair; she claims to be from the Central Plains and, because she admires the Emperor, has come specifically to perform a dance for the Emperor!"

"Perform a dance for me?"

"Do many people know about our journey to the Xiongnu?"

Ying Su asked.

Yu Yu Huatian bowed and replied, "Very few know!"

"This woman said she once went to Xianyang City, intending to perform a dance for the Emperor there, but after exhausting all efforts to reach Outside Xianyanggong, she was informed that the Emperor was not there, but had come to the Xiongnu!"

"So... she traveled thousands of li, inquiring all the way, just to come here and present a dance for the Emperor!"

"Good heavens, she ran such a long distance just to present a dance for me?"

"If she is so devout, wouldn't it be wrong of me not to see her?"

Yu Yu Huatian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I do not recommend seeing her, because... on this woman, I sense a trace of killing intent!"

"Most likely, she is a master from the Central Plains in the enemy camp!"

Yu Yu Huatian explained.

Ying Su waved his hand and said, "Eh... how can one suspect people's hearts with such malice?"

"Bring her in and let me see her 'Strolling Waves and Flying Swallow'; I want to see what kind of dance this truly is!"

"And then... dismiss your attendants, let me enjoy it in quiet!"

Ying Su said with a smile!

Yet as these words left his mouth, Yu Yu Huatian was stunned on the spot; he hadn't even reported the name of the dance the visitor intended to present, so how did Ying Su know?

But... he said no more, immediately bowing down!

Then, he went to invite her in!

In the blink of an eye, that silver-haired, snow-white, incredibly beautiful woman walked in!

She bowed respectfully toward Ying Su: "Your Majesty!"

"Mm!"

Ying Su nodded and waved a hand at her: "Begin your performance!"

"Let me, the Sovereign, properly watch your dance!"

He said with a smile.

The Snow Woman's eyebrows furrowed slightly; she felt something was strange!

Why did Ying Su not ask about her origins, nor ask anything else, but immediately command her to dance?

Requesting flowers

There is a huge problem here!

But since Ying Su had given the order, she could not delay!

She immediately performed the bow and knelt: "Yes!"

Then she said, "A dance without music is not worthy of the name; I still have musicians outside; please, Emperor, let the musicians enter!"

"Granted!"

Ying Su nodded!

In the blink of an eye, Chong Xin went out and brought a woman in!

In her arms, she held an incredibly huge zither!
