I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

Fortunately, some people still remember Jiang Ke'er's good points, and there are many of them, so that's acceptable.

What started out as just a chance to strike up a conversation gradually turned into a war of ideas. People on the street even rolled up their sleeves and started fighting. Even the nouveau riche who were unable to move around easily swung their gold chains and joined in the verbal battle.

As expected of a frontier city, its people are tough and brave.

"I feel lucky for Lord Li to have such people," Jiang Ke'er said with a smile as she stepped far away from the crowd.

"Why? They scolded you." Qiao Xiaoxian frowned unhappily.

"So what if they scold me? At least they dare to scold, dare to act, dare to think, dare to argue, and dare to debate, instead of hiding in a dark corner and making sarcastic remarks." Jiang Ke'er paused and said, "It's a good thing to have controversy. If you really want to argue, even an innocent stone will be criticized by some nitpickers. As long as it's not mindless argument or mindless scolding, I'm still very willing to see it... Only in such debates and conflicts can people's horizons be elevated, can they grow, and can they create a confident and powerful Tang Dynasty."

"...Is this the reason why you stole that scholar's testicles?" Qiao Xiaoxian rolled her eyes.

"Uh cough..." Jiang Ke'er didn't expect to be discovered. She shrank her head a little embarrassedly and washed her hands.

The two women walked out of the city.

"Since we have to walk slowly, let's ride a horse." Qiao Xiaoxian suggested.

"Hurrah."

Qiao Xiaoxian summoned out her own cool white Pegasus, turned off its overly arrogant light effects, and held Jiang Keer in her arms and sat on it.

"But I still feel sorry for you," Qiao Xiaoxian suddenly said. If they were scolding her, she could just laugh it off, but since they were scolding Jiang Ke'er, she couldn't tolerate it at all.

"So what? Do you want the whole world to be grateful to me, set up a temple to worship me? Yes, if the whole world admits that my contribution is greater than that of the emperor...what will the Li family think then?"

Qiao Xiaoxian was silent... She understood all this, but she simply couldn't swallow this.

There is no absolute righteousness in this world, nor is there eternal righteousness. The reason why Lord Li works diligently for China and the people's livelihood is not for the prosperity of any race... but just to preserve his own wealth and glory.

Let alone clearing Jiang Keer's name... No, Jiang Keer took the knife out of consideration for their past friendship.

There is no such thing as a merciful emperor.

"But I really don't care," Jiang Ke'er said, riding on the horse and leaning in Qiao Xiaoxian's arms, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "I'm not doing this for them."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Of course it's for you, silly," Jiang Ke'er looked up, feeling the fresh fragrance of Qiao Xiaoxian's hair, and couldn't help squinting her eyes comfortably, "so that after everything is settled, we can retire to the fields freely, take care of our husbands and children, without worrying about our children suffering injustice, without worrying about the collapse of order, and the immortals covering the sky with one hand..."

Qiao Xiaoxian smiled: "Then you are going to give birth?"

"But, I'm already so tired," Jiang Ke'er's face showed a trace of fatigue, "I've done so much, but I'm not understood, and I'm even scolded... I've given so much for Shenzhou and for our future, don't I deserve to be loved once?"

"It's worth it. I will love you well." Qiao Xiaoxian said skillfully.

"No, that's not what I meant," Jiang Ke'er hurriedly shook her head in fear. "I mean, next time, let me take the lead once, just once, let me be willful once... I know you're the best. Even if the whole world doesn't understand my pain, you will definitely understand me, right?"

“……”Qiao Xiaoxian suddenly grabbed the horse’s reins and stopped in the wilderness.

There was suddenly a dead silence in the air that made Jiang Keer feel uneasy.

"I understand," Qiao Xiaoxian said suddenly.

"You agree?" Jiang Ke'er was ecstatic...Hahahaha, you'll regret letting me win this time! I only need it once! Just one win is enough!

"No, I mean, I'll go find Lord Li right now." Qiao Xiaoxian said indifferently.

"...What? Why are you looking for him?" Jiang Ke'er was stunned.

"Let him give you a proper name and write you down in the book as a required textbook for the Imperial College."

"Ah???" Jiang Ke'er said anxiously, "No, didn't we just talk about this? It is a big taboo to be more successful than your boss!"

"So what if it's a taboo?" Qiao Xiaoxian said in a bone-chilling tone, "If the price of world peace is for you to bear a stigma... then you don't have this peace."

94. The So-called Mr. Li

Jiang Ke'er was stunned.

I was completely dumbfounded.

This development was something she had not expected...

She lost.

Not only did she lose, but she was also so embarrassed that she felt weak all over and her face was flushed. Qiao Xiaoxian's domineering declaration made her mind so confused that she almost lost the ability to think.

I was so moved that I just wanted to throw myself into his arms.

"No... Let's not get into a fight. Lord Li has many talented people under his command. If you do something so ruthless, it's easy for them to start a fight." Jiang Ke'er tried to persuade him. "Besides, it's just for me to do that once... Is it that difficult?"

"This is a matter of principle," Qiao Xiaoxian said coldly, "If a fight really breaks out... If Lord Li stands in my way, I will kill Lord Li. If the Li family stands in my way, I will destroy the Li family. If everyone in Shenzhou stands in my way, I will completely wipe out Shenzhou!"

"Is it that serious?" Jiang Ke'er wanted to cry but had no tears. "Why bother? It's just a matter of letting me do that once and it can be solved... Do you have to make the whole world your enemy? Don't you want to?"

While he was speaking, Qiao Xiaoxian had already ridden Pegasus and rushed to Chang'an City.

Jiang Keer covered her face.

Plan A, big failure.

"As long as I know, no one can slander you," Qiao Xiaoxian said with a straight face.

She took Jiang Ke'er's hand and swaggered into the palace.

"Who is coming...ah——"

Just as the monk in the palace was about to stop him, he was kicked away by Qiao Xiaoxian.

She pulled Jiang Ke'er with one hand and fought her way from the palace gate to Lord Li's office, kicking away any god or Buddha that stood in her way. Then she stood in front of Lord Li amid the horrified gazes of the surrounding soldiers.

Jiang Keer covered her face again.

Qiao Xiaoxian did not hide her murderous intention at all. She stared at Lord Li with a pair of grim eyes and said, "Rehabilitate Jiang Ke'er's name, or you will lose everything."

The incident happened so suddenly that Lord Li didn't even have time to remove the cucumber mask on his face. He stared blankly at the strange woman in front of him.

He subconsciously wanted to slip away, but before he could see what was going on, a dagger was already at his neck.

Jiang Ke'er recalled with horror how fast Qiao Xiaoxian had just been... Oh my god, this guy has become stronger again.

Fortunately, I didn't use force on her.

Lord Li's mind raced as he looked at the pleasing combination of one tall and one short in front of him. He quickly figured out the situation and guessed the other party's identity.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I have also heard some rumors recently. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. For example, we have to admit that the brainwashing work carried out by Mr. Yu Wen before his death was indeed very successful... and, until now, there are also many unwilling racists who are secretly inciting."

Lord Li did not refer to himself as "I" and was very humble.

As he spoke, he picked up a thick stack of documents on the table. The documents were placed in a very conspicuous position and seemed to be frequently read.

Qiao Xiaoxian glanced up and saw that the reports written above were indeed all related to Jiang Keer, and there were also related solutions.

"As long as they want to slander, they will find a point to slander anyone, and derive a set of self-consistent logic," Lord Li said, holding up the document. "It is impossible to expect the people to establish correct cognition through self-reflection. If you want to maintain social stability and harmony, you must provide correct guidance. If you don't guide, your enemies will guide you... So I am preparing to distribute compulsory textbooks to private schools and sects and other educational forces in various places, and list them as items in the imperial examinations."

This was a bit beyond Jiang Keer's expectations.

"I know what you are thinking," Lord Li's face was full of confidence. "In fact, I am not afraid that Jiang Ke'er will take away this land... I do care about all of this. I am obsessed with this wealth and glory. I hope that the Li family can have many descendants and inherit these rights and status. But I will not guard against Jiang Ke'er, because I know she will not do that."

"What she cares about is peace and prosperity in the country, who is governing the country, what kind of life the people live, and what the world is like." Lord Li stood at the window, looking up at the blue sky, his words sonorous, and if there were no cucumber slices on his face, this would have been a great picture that would go down in history.

"The second oldest brother once told me that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Jiang Ke'er is the embodiment of the people's hearts. She can help me achieve great things, but she can also take it all away." Lord Li turned around and looked at the two girls in front of him seriously. "I have the confidence that I can govern this land well, and the Li family has the confidence to sit in this position safely! So not only will I not deal with Jiang Ke'er, but I will also pass on her spirit of daring to speak out against injustice and risking her life to pursue justice. Let the people of the Tang Empire learn from her and become thousands of Jiang Ke'er to supervise me and spur me on. That will make this country better and better!"

The Tang style is confident and tough.

As a result, they can boldly integrate cultures from all over the world, feel the impact from many civilizations and never worry about losing themselves.

They were bold enough to encourage people to learn martial arts. Later, Wu Zhou established the military examination system to draw strength from the people.

Just like Lord Li's determination at this moment, he is willing to let the people have the power to protect themselves, because he is confident that the Li family can do the best... If one day they don't do well, let the people decide whether a dynasty will go or not, and let better people replace them.

"The scholars in the Hanlin Academy have already started compiling a new history book, which will include Jiang Ke'er's great significance to Shenzhou. However, the grandeur of history cannot be fully explained in one day," Lord Li sighed. "For the time being, we can only let some scholars write articles and send them to local cultivator communication agencies, newspapers, etc. to clear her name as much as possible. After all, the appearance of Jiang Ke'er is good for the entire Shenzhou era. It is not only of great significance to the demon race, but also to the human race... However, many ideas are deeply rooted, and it may be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time."

When Qiao Xiaoxian heard this, he readily retracted his murderous intent, sneered, and bowed to him: "It's good that Lord Li has the intention."

Lord Li shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Of course, how can we let the founding hero feel disappointed."

Jiang Ke'er and Qiao Xiaoxian left the palace, and Jiang Ke'er raised her eyebrows on the way.

What he said was even more beautiful than what he sang. Lord Li is worthy of being Lord Li.

Your Majesty, who is busy with all kinds of affairs, would put relevant information about yourself on the desk. Is it because he cares about our friendship and is worried about what will happen to you?

If I really believed it, I would be really stupid.

He was just waiting for me to come over and hold him accountable. Then I could raise the stack of papers with confidence, shake it, and say: See, I didn't treat you unfairly.

After all, he knew that he couldn't beat that bastard named Jiang Ke'er, so he had to use the appeasement strategy to deal with himself.

If I were an ordinary Venerable and dared to take such great credit, I would have been chopped off long ago with an excuse.

95. PLAN B

However, Lord Li's words were not entirely empty talk.

Lies are often half true to be true... His great talent and strategy are real, and his confidence in the dynasty and his expectations for the people are also real.

In the first half of a dynasty, the people usually remember the pie they drew when they conquered the world, and they will work hard to turn the pie into reality.

It’s hard to say about the second half.

In Jiang Keer's opinion, this seems to be not much different from the operating model of mobile games.

Some of this is due to changes in people's hearts over time, and some is due to the circumstances... In short, this is not something I need to consider.

Because Shenzhou doesn’t need Jiang Ke’er for the time being.

It's time to do something for yourself.

For example...

"You have already seen everything you wanted to see in the country under Lord Li's jurisdiction," Qiao Xiaoxian hugged Jiang Ke'er's waist and took her to ride on the white horse again, "and then what?"

"I have one last wish," Jiang Ke'er looked towards the mountains, "accompany me to visit those quiet and primitive areas."

Not all deep mountains and old forests have monks establishing sects.

Some are desolate, some are dangerous, and there are still many places on the Shenzhou continent waiting for monks to explore.

Maybe there are some unsolved mysteries of China hidden there, or maybe there are other reasons... In short, it is a desolate and lawless place that no one is willing to set foot in.

"When I meet so many people, I always want to be alone." Jiang Ke'er closed her eyes gently.

This is not a lie.

Like Qiao Xiaoxian, she actually hated interacting with people. Especially when she saw the current Shenzhou and recalled the nature of power, she felt even more exhausted.

If Qiao Xiaoxian had not appeared, her biggest dream would be to hide in the deep mountains and forests, build a small wooden house with fast internet speed, hide in a small kotatsu every day, hold a cat in her arms, a dog at her feet, a little fox on her head, and play games and watch anime.

That was probably her highest pursuit in life... The reason why she hoped for peace in the world and well-being of the people was probably to see that day come sooner.

All the efforts made today are for the purpose of being able to be a useless person with peace of mind in the future.

She felt that she was not qualified to save the world...

Seeing Jiang Ke'er suddenly looking a little depressed, Qiao Xiaoxian felt heartbroken.

If possible, she is willing to help Jiang Keer shoulder all the responsibilities that do not belong to her...but there are some things that Jiang Keer must do personally.

I can only try my best to help her reduce the pressure.

Riding the horse all the way to the northwest, the sound of horse hooves was slow and gentle.

The traces of civilization gradually became thinner.

Until a towering snow-capped mountain came into view and the shadow of the town behind it disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Ke'er took a deep breath of the fresh air on the grassland, letting the fine raindrops hit her face, and felt her HP slowly recovering.

On the Wall Plains, only pairs of wild horses are strolling gracefully and slowly.

Jiang Keer broke free from Qiao Xiaoxian's arms, jumped off the white horse, took out cooking utensils, and started cooking.

Qiao Xiaoxian sat in front of the campfire with her knees hugged, waiting quietly.

...And so, the same scene continued day after day.

They walked aimlessly in the wilderness, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
