The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

"Useless! The person is gone, why don't you hurry up and chase him!"

Ling Jinhan saw everything clearly from the outside, and his men were still foolishly falling to the ground one after another, so he couldn't help but roar.

The guard on the ground stood up impatiently and brushed off the invisible dust on his body to cover up.

"Your Majesty, why are you so angry? We are... we are 'devoutly' searching for clues to the missing, so why are you calling us useless?"

Guard Xiaojia raised his head innocently and muttered softly.

The other guards looked innocent, as if saying: Look at my sincere eyes, I am not fooling you!

The corner of Ling Jinhan's mouth twitched.

He couldn't help but secretly complain: How can you be looking for clues? You are clearly kissing Mother Earth, and you are doing it so affectionately!

Some of the guards couldn't help but giggle, while others lowered their heads in pretending to be shy.

"Your Majesty, please stop teasing us. We know we are wrong!"

The guard Xiao Yi smiled and whispered in a low voice.

Ling Jinhan secretly felt fortunate that although these guys seemed unreliable at ordinary times, they could always find some fun for him at critical moments so as not to make the atmosphere too tense.

But he put on a stern face and said, "Alright, alright, stop messing around and get up quickly. We have to chase those guys quickly, otherwise this clue will really be lost!"

The guards put away their playful smiles, stood up seriously, and dusted themselves off, as if to cheer themselves up.

"Okay, my lord, let's go after him now!"

The guards left in a hurry, fearing that they would be struck by thunder if they were a little late.

Ling Jinhan's mouth twitched slightly, what a group of guys.

However, it is precisely because of their funny personalities that the entire team is full of joy and vitality, but he will not be frivolous when it is time to be strict.

"My Lord, Princess, I just hurried to that gloomy dungeon to take a look. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Xiao was still chewing a chicken leg leisurely in the gloomy dungeon, as if it was his backyard."

Zhao Long ran over panting, his face full of astonishment and helplessness at Zhuge Xiao's "abnormal" and tenacious vitality.

Ling Jinhan's brows were furrowed, his eyes were as sharp as knives, while Liu Jingshu's face was full of curiosity and confusion.

"Zhuge Xiao? Still here?"

The expression on Liu Jingshu's face seemed to be saying, "This guy is so perverted? How come he can't be killed?"

Zhao Long nodded repeatedly, but suddenly pointed at the human-shaped piece of wood on the ground as if he had discovered some new continent.

"My Lord, Princess, I may be shortsighted, but I feel like there's something wrong with this piece of wood. Could this... this be what Zhuge Xiao just turned into?"

Ling Jinhan and Liu Jingshu looked in the direction of Zhao Long's finger, and saw a lifelike human-shaped wooden figure lying on the ground. The facial features were surprisingly similar to Zhuge Xiao's!

"This... is this really what Zhuge Xiao transformed into?"

Liu Jingshu's face was full of disbelief.

Zhao Long scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

“I’m not sure either, but the appearance of this wooden man is really weird.

Doesn’t Zhuge Xiao know the art of escaping from the heavens?

I heard that this magic can allow a person to change their shape in an instant, even turning into a piece of wood.

Could it be that these two... could it be that they are the same kind of magic?"

Ling Jinhan pondered for a moment, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhuge Xiao is indeed cunning. However, no matter how cunning he is, he can't escape from my grasp. Zhao Long, pass the order down, send more people to closely monitor the dungeon, and report immediately if you find any trace of Zhuge Xiao!"

Zhao Long responded and turned to leave.

Ling Jinhan and Liu Jingshu smiled at each other while looking at the human-shaped piece of wood.

Zhuge Xiao, just come over here and see how we deal with you!

"Your Highness, Zhuge Xiao is in prison, but he still can't forget about the jade disc? This is not a joke, is he trying to use it to summon a dragon or..."

Liu Jingshu blinked her eyes, looking extremely gossipy.

Ling Jinhan's originally deep expression suddenly brightened up at Liu Jingshu's teasing, as if a bolt of lightning had split the night sky, illuminating the tacit understanding between the two.

"Hahaha, my Jingshu is so smart!

That jade pendant, hey, maybe it can really mobilize a group of wooden men!"

Ling Jinhan slapped his thigh and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

"Oh, mobilizing wooden men? Isn't this...ah, is there an army of puppets hidden in our city lord's mansion?"

Liu Jingshu looked surprised, as if she had seen an alien creature.

"Haha, my Jingshu is right. I think this jade pendant does have magical power and can control a special mechanical puppet.

These mechanical puppets may seem ordinary on weekdays, but once they receive instructions from the jade pendant, they can exert amazing combat power. "

Ling Jinhan explained, a smug look flashing across his face.

"Then why did Zhuge Xiao take the risk to get the jade pendant? Is he planning to rebel?"

Liu Jingshu asked seriously.

"Zhuge Xiao is an ambitious man who has always coveted my throne.

If he gets this jade pendant, he can control those mechanical puppets, which will pose a great threat to me."

Ling Jinhan explained, but there was no fear on his face.

"Then your Majesty, you must be careful and don't let Zhuge Xiao succeed.

Otherwise, our Lingguo army will become a puppet theater!"

Liu Jingshu joked with a sly smile on her face.

"Haha, don't worry, my princess. I have already laid a net, waiting for Zhuge Xiao to fall into it!"

Ling Jinhan laughed loudly, as if everything was under his control.

The two solved this seemingly difficult problem while chatting and laughing.

However, Ling Jinhan waited for three or four days, but did not see Zhuge Xiao's counterattack. Fengcheng was quiet and the people lived and worked in peace as if nothing had happened.

Liu Jingshu was getting really impatient waiting, and she slammed the table in the City Lord's Mansion and started dancing.

She suggested: "I say we should stop wasting time. I think Zhuge Xiao is a stubborn ass! How about we kill ten of his people every day and see if he dares to hide those wooden soldiers!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers who were discussing the matter together were in an uproar and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Did Liu Jingshu take the wrong medicine?

This method is too stupid.

You actually want to threaten Zhuge Xiao with the lives of the people?

But Liu Jingshu ignored it and continued to talk incessantly.

"Don't disbelieve me, this Zhuge Xiao is just a blockhead. He won't know how powerful we are until we teach him a lesson!"

Everyone shook their heads inwardly, thinking that Liu Jingshu was too cold-blooded and heartless.

Not only will this method not make Zhuge Xiao surrender, but it will make the people of Fengcheng more united in their resistance.

However, Ling Jinhan is a patient man.

He smiled.

“My princess, this is a novel idea, but I think we should wait and see.

Zhuge Xiao is no simple man. If he really had a wooden army, it would not be easily exposed.

If we force him like this, it will only backfire."

Liu Jingshu became anxious.

"What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, the daylily will get cold!

My method is absolutely effective, if you don’t believe me, just give it a try! "

Ling Jinhan no longer paid any attention to Liu Jingshu's unreasonable demands.

He knew very well that Zhuge Xiao was a wise man and would not be easily threatened.

Moreover, the people of Wind City are not so easy to bully.

If they were really harmed by Liu Jingshu's plan, they would only unite more and resist.

Ling Jinhan continued to wait for three or four days, but Fengcheng was still quiet.

The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, as if nothing had happened.

Zhuge Xiao escaped from the dungeon and has not been seen since, as if he had disappeared from the world.

That day, Ling Jinhan was drinking tea and reading in the study when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

He put down the book in his hand, walked out of the study, and saw a group of people gathered together talking.

Ling Jinhan's heart moved, and he walked forward and asked, "Fellow villagers, what are you discussing?"

An old man saw that it was Ling Jinhan who came, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "My lord! You have to make a decision for us! That crazy woman Liu Jingshu wants to kill us and sacrifice to the gods!"

When Ling Jinhan heard this, he was immediately furious: "What? Liu Jingshu wants to kill the people to sacrifice to the gods? This is simply crazy!"

He quickly comforted the people and said, "Please rest assured, fellow villagers! I am here and will never let Liu Jingshu do anything wrong! I will go and settle the score with her right away!"

After saying that, Ling Jinhan rushed towards Liu Jingshu angrily.

The people of Fengcheng followed him one after another, wanting to see how this wise King Han would deal with the crazy woman Liu Jingshu.

Soon, Ling Jinhan came in front of Liu Jingshu.

He shouted, "Liu Jingshu! Come out!"

Liu Jingshu was discussing with a few lackeys in the mansion how to kill the people as a sacrifice to the gods. When she heard Ling Jinhan's shout, she was frightened and ran out in a hurry.

"Ling Jinhan? What are you doing here?"

Ling Jinhan pointed at her and shouted angrily: "Liu Jingshu! You are so crazy! You actually want to kill the people to sacrifice to the gods! You are digging your own grave!"

Liu Jingshu was panicked.

"I... I don't have that! Don't listen to the nonsense those people are talking about!"

Ling Jinhan sneered.

"Nonsense? I think you are guilty! If you dare to do anything wrong again, I will tear your head off and kick it like a ball!"

Liu Jingshu was so frightened that she was shaking all over and begged for mercy quickly.

"Please spare my life, my lord! I will never dare to do it again!"

Ling Jinhan snorted coldly and turned to speak to the people.

"Please rest assured, fellow villagers! As long as I am here to protect Wind City, I will never let anyone hurt you!"

The people cheered: "Long live the Lord! Long live Lord Ling!"

Liu Jingshu returned home dejected, cursing in her heart.

"I've really lost face today."
