Chapter 5461: Atonement

"Although I helped Princess Wan ascend the throne of the Snow Country in order to find the whereabouts of my friend."

"But since I am involved in this matter, I must be responsible for the people of the Snow Country."

"If you are frustrated when you encounter a little difficulty, you can't be a truly wise king."

Zhang Yifeng said calmly, looking at Wan Renxue deeply.

In his opinion, Wan Renxue's ascension to the throne must have been inseparable from his own help.

But he is not the kind of person who would just sit back and do nothing after the matter is done.

Wan Renxue has a kingly demeanor at this time, but she does not have the ability to become a king and still needs to be tempered.

Before leaving the Snow Country, Zhang Yifeng believes that he has the responsibility to help her become a qualified king.

Listening to what Zhang Yifeng said, Wan Renxue's heart trembled slightly.

Recalling the past, when her father stood tall in front of the people of the Snow Country, her eyes gradually became firm.

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your advice. I understand!"

Wan Renxue stood still, and a kingly aura was brewing around her.

Looking down at the people of the Snow Country below, Wan Renxue shouted loudly: "Silence!"

"I have made up my mind about this matter, and the Snow Country has never bowed to any country."

"General Lu Ji realized that the royal family of the Tianyu Empire was sinister, so he deliberately abandoned the dark and joined our Snow Country."

"You are talking like this now, isn't it chilling General Lu Ji?!"

After Wan Renxue said this, a chill spread between her eyebrows, and the whole person seemed like a queen in the ice and snow, noble and inviolable.

The people under the castle looked at Wan Renxue with a frosty face, and they seemed to see the king who had led them in a trance.

For a moment, the originally noisy scene immediately calmed down.

"Okay, now that we've finished talking about this, it's time to mention another thing."

"The warship you saw earlier was the one that General Lu Ji, Mr. Zhang and I rode on."

"And the purpose of my returning to the palace on the warship is to capture the treacherous ministers in the Council of Elders who are causing chaos in the government!"

Wan Renxue shouted in a condensed voice.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people below all flashed with astonishment.

However, due to the kingly aura that Wan Renxue exuded at this time, they did not dare to discuss it as freely as before.

"The tenth elder in the Council of Elders, Bai Mu, harbored evil intentions and secretly colluded with the prince of the Tianyu Empire to harm the lives of the people of my Snow Country."

"He even designed to almost kill me and the Great Elder, turning the entire Snow Country into a puppet vassal of the Tianyu Empire!"

"For such evil deeds, I, Wan Renxue, swear here to remove Bai Mu's status as an elder and put him in death row to await judgment!"

Wan Renxue stared at everyone and listed Bai Mu's crimes one by one.

The people of the Snow Country below listened to these horrific crimes with astonishment on their faces.

Especially when they heard that the former king was actually assassinated by Bai Mu, some people who were not able to bear the psychological pressure even fell to the ground.

"My judgment is over, do you have any objections?"

Wan Renxue put one hand behind his back, like a king who ruled the world, overlooking the people under his feet.

"This... Princess, although you listed so many crimes."

"But, but Elder Bai Mu's actions in the Snow Country are all for the benefit of us civilians."

"Now that I suddenly heard what you said, I can't help but feel a little..."

Among the people, one of them raised his head and swallowed his saliva and said.

Wan Renxue's eyes condensed when he heard the voice, and he looked at him deeply.

"Why, do you think I can't provide evidence of Bai Mu's crimes?"

Asked in a majestic tone, Wan Renxue did not panic at all in the face of the people's questioning.

"No, no, it's just that Princess, you..."

The man looked terrified, and a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Just when he didn't know how to explain, a sound of footsteps came from behind Zhang Yifeng and the other two on the city wall.

"General, this man said that he has something very important to tell Princess Wan."

"We are new here and don't know the situation, so we can only bring this man first."

Zhang Yifeng and the other two turned around and saw two of Lu Ji's guards holding Qu Hun hostage to the city wall.

"Hmm? Elder Qu Hun, what do you want to tell me?"

Wan Renxue frowned slightly and stared at Qu Hun and asked.

She didn't have much hostility towards Qu Hun, after all, he was a fence-sitter.

Under Bai Mu's threat, it was normal for her to temporarily switch sides to his camp.

Besides, Qu Hun didn't do anything bad to her or the Snow Country, and Wan Renxue didn't intend to hurt his life.

At most, after everything was settled, Qu Hun's position as an elder would be taken back.

As for the fact that Qu Hun tricked the great elder to leave the border alone and suffered a heavy blow from Lu Ji.

As early as when she was treating Qin Wu in the warship, the other party told her not to blame Qu Hun.

Since the Great Elder did not have any hatred for this matter, Wan Renxue naturally would not have any intention to kill Qu Hun.

"Qu Hun, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"At this moment, I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess can give me a chance to forgive my sins."

Qu Hun half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said in a serious voice.

"Hmm?"

Wan Renxue's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, not knowing what Qu Hun was talking about.

Just when Wan Renxue was confused, Zhang Yifeng's eyes flashed, and he said in a calm voice: "Princess Wan, since Elder Qu Hun is willing to forgive, why not give him a chance."

Wan Renxue had not yet thought about the key, but after hearing what Zhang Yifeng said, she chose to trust.

"Okay, then do as Mr. Zhang said."

"Elder Qu Hun, how are you going to forgive?"

Wan Renxue's face regained its majesty, and she asked solemnly.

"Princess, please look."

Qu Hun slowly stood up, then took out something from his arms and threw it in the air.

The two Lu Ji guards saw this, and their eyes flashed with nervousness, and they held their hands on the swords at their waists.

However, Qu Hun's move was not to assassinate Wan Renxue.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and saw that the thing thrown by Qu Hun had a golden light blooming on it.

Then the light gradually gathered into a light curtain, and pictures began to play inside.

The scene in it is nothing but the whole process after Bai Mu found Qu Hun.

Including Bai Mu forcing him to sign the Snow God's Oath and talking about his ambitions.

Even the truth about the death of the previous king, etc., are all recorded in this light curtain.

"This is it!"

Wan Renxue's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at the light curtain above his head in disbelief.

The content in it was obviously secretly recorded by Qu Hun when he was alone with Bai Mu.

But as a fence-sitter, why did Qu Hun record these?
