Chapter 25 I Can Help You

"Master Yu... Why would Yu Jinzhong do this? He is obviously the master of Songren Mansion, why would he destroy the entire Songren Mansion?"

After crying for a long time, the female assassin asked in a hoarse voice.

Lu Changjing said: "Didn't I just explain the reason? Compared with the several prefectures in the lower reaches of the Huangsha River, Songren Prefecture is not that important."

"Before Palace Master Yu gave the order to breach the dam, he also notified the entire Songren Palace and asked everyone to make preparations early. Unfortunately, many people did not believe it."

"The news was only reported one day before the dam broke. Even if we believed it, we would not have had time to escape." The female assassin said bitterly, "Besides, the water was coming so fast and there was not enough time. Unless we immediately fled to the nearby mountains, we would have no chance of escaping death."

Lu Changjing sighed, "It's also recorded in the files that the situation was urgent at the time, and the order to breach the dam was issued urgently by Palace Master Yu. Palace Master Yu did his best to buy one day."

"You are completely shirking your responsibility." The female assassin snorted coldly: "Even if you didn't order this to happen, it is closely related to you."

Lu Changjing did not deny it. He looked at the female assassin and said seriously, "If I were in the position of Palace Master Yu at that time, I would probably make the same decision."

"If I hadn't understood the water situation of the Huangsha River at that time, and if there hadn't been endless disputes among the court officials, I would have been the one to issue the order to breach the dam."

The female assassin was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Lu Changjing to say such words after distancing himself from the matter. Isn't he afraid that she would really kill him?

"In the eyes of you superiors, are the millions of casualties in Songren Prefecture so unimportant?"

The female assassin asked with gritted teeth, "They are also living lives. Even if there are not as many people as in the several prefectures downstream of the Huangsha River, they should not be killed."

"None of the millions of people who died or were injured in Songren Prefecture deserved this fate." Lu Changjing nodded affirmatively: "But in that situation, you have to make a choice. When faced with tens of millions of people and millions of people, most people will choose more. If you were in that position, you would surely make the same choice."

In the Daning Dynasty, there were at least tens of millions of people in one prefecture, and some even exceeded 100 million. There were hundreds of millions of people in several prefectures in total.

Once a disaster strikes, tens of millions of deaths and injuries are minor. In comparison, a million is really very small.

The female assassin was stunned and speechless. She wanted to open her mouth to refute, but when she thought about it carefully, she wondered what she would do if she was the Emperor of Daning, or if she was Yu Jinzhong who made the decision.

The result was not very good, which left the female assassin speechless.

After a long while, she turned around and prepared to leave: "Even so, my relatives and friends were killed by Yu Jinzhong after all, I still want to kill him to avenge myself."

"No need to go. Palace Master Yu died that year." Lu Changjing stopped her.

The female assassin was stunned again: "He...didn't he make great contributions with this incident, and let you usurp the credit? Are you afraid that he will leak this matter, so you killed him?"

"You are also from Songren Mansion. The death of Lord Yu was a hot topic back then. Don't you know about it?" Lu Changjing said with a wry smile, "Although I even usurped the credit of my subordinates, I am not such an emperor without bottom line."

The female assassin blushed. "Since my relatives and friends passed away, I have been busy with hard training and have not paid attention to the outside world. After entering the realm of Grandmaster, I immediately came to Baiyujing, so I didn't know about Yu Jinzhong's death. How did this dog official die?"

"After the flood subsided, Palace Master Yu felt sorry for the millions of people in Songren Prefecture who died and were injured, so he went into the Yellow Sand River alone and fought a decisive battle with the Yellow Sand Dragon King. In the end, he died in the Yellow Sand River."

Lu Changjing sighed and said, "Perhaps you will ask why Yu Jinzhong did this. This is because the flood in the Huangsha River that year was mainly caused by this Huangsha Jiao King."

"This Yellow Sand Dragon King used the power of the artifact to stir up huge waves in the upper reaches of the Yellow Sand River, affecting the weather and causing this heavy rain. That's why Palace Master Yu went to fight it after calming down the flood, even though he knew he was no match for the Yellow Sand Dragon King."

The female assassin was stunned and speechless. She had never thought that after years of searching, Emperor Daning was not her enemy.

Her enemy turned out to be the person who was once the most respected by countless people in Songren Prefecture, and he had already died at the hands of the culprit.

If this is the case, what should she do next?

Looking at the bewildered female assassin, Lu Changjing pointed out the way for her: "If you want to seek revenge, you can find the Yellow Sand Dragon King. Compared to Palace Master Yu, it is the culprit."

“Should I go find it and die?” The female assassin’s eyes were red. “The Yellow Sand Dragon King is a top demon king who has stepped half a foot into the level of a divine dragon. Even a grandmaster can’t do anything to him. If he were in the Yellow Sand River, he would have almost no rival.”

"Even if I practice for my whole life, it is still unknown whether I can enter the realm of Grandmaster. How can I seek revenge on it?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She finally found her enemy, but the other party was incredibly powerful. How could she avenge her dead relatives and friends?

Lu Changjing looked at her: "I can help you."

"You?" The female assassin looked at him suspiciously.

Lu Changjing nodded: "The Yellow Sand Dragon King is not only your enemy, but also my enemy, and even more so the enemy of the Daning Dynasty, so it is only natural for me to help you."

"I almost killed you just now, and you still want to help me?" the female assassin asked suspiciously.

Lu Changjing smiled, and there was no sign of poison on his body: "Do you think I'm so easy to kill? It's just some poison, it can be easily solved."

"Ah..." The female assassin was stunned, and immediately took off the mask on her face, saying bitterly: "It turns out that it was all my wishful thinking. You are the emperor of Daning, how can you not have many trump cards? Although Soft Dragon Fragrance is powerful, how can it do anything to you."

Lu Changjing thought to himself, you guessed wrong, I, a fake emperor, don’t have so many trump cards.

But when he saw the female assassin's revealed face, he was stunned.

Two curved brows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be crying but not crying.

She is as beautiful as a fairy, charming and looks like she is carved from white jade.

Her eyes are like a pool of clear water, which are naturally pitiful and make people feel pity.

Her steps are light, like willows swaying in the wind, and her figure is graceful, like a fairy in the moon.

Her face is like a lotus emerging from water, her fingertips are like bamboo shoots, and her wrists are like lotus roots.

Her eyebrows are black without being drawn, her lips are red without being painted, her nose is like a hanging gall bladder, her teeth are like woven shells, and her mouth is like a cherry.

From a distance, she is a slender lady; from close up, she is a graceful lady. She has a beauty that can captivate fish and geese alike, and a charm that can overwhelm a country.

Lu Changjing had never imagined that this female assassin was so stunningly beautiful, especially her pitiful temperament, which was the best in the entire three palaces and six courtyards.
