Sara thought carefully in her mind, observed the distance between the army and here, looked for the most suitable moment, and stopped in front of the general.
The position where she stopped the horse was chosen just right so that she would not be hit or ignored.
The general was about to raise his whip when he was blocked by Sara.
"Hey!" The general's face was full of anger and he glared at Sara, "How can you be a bastard who doesn't have eyesight?"
Sara's appearance is considered beautiful among humans, with fair skin, an oval face, a pair of black and white eyes under the bangs, a small nose and cherry lips. When she is not smiling, she gives people a melancholy atmosphere, which makes people unconsciously suppress their irritable mood. .
Sara performed a court ceremony in her world: "I have met General Zuo. I came here this time to express my gratitude and to recommend myself as the new city lord of Zuoye City."
"Are you a princess?" General Zuo relaxed his body after carefully identifying her, and flicked his horse whip with interest. His eyes became sharper as he spoke, "My duty is to protect the city lord's lineage, I don't need you to come here to thank me."
General Zuo chose to avoid talking about inheriting the position of city lord.
"I think that when the enemy attacked the city, you led the troops and persisted until the last moment for the people. Your loyalty and bravery can be seen in the world. As my father's daughter, how can I not shed tears of gratitude for your kindness."
Sara's words were so beautiful that General Zuo's expression suddenly froze on his face.
General Zuo felt a little embarrassed and guilty for a moment. How could he persist until the last moment? He couldn't leave at all that day and could only hold on. Moreover, the main reason for holding on was not for the people in the city.
Human beings are born with the desire to be valued, and heartfelt praise is what everyone needs.
General Zuo originally wanted to make things difficult because he was resentful towards Sara, but now his mood has improved a little, and he is rarely in the mood to spend time with her here.
"How do you know the city lord is gone?"
"Many people fled out of the city on the road. I heard that my biological father has gone crazy. I don't want my father to become like this. The only thing I can do is to continue to protect Asano City."
"I have royal blood flowing in my body, and I am born to convince the people at the bottom. If you don't give up, please support me as the new city lord." Sara brought up the old things again, and said 'please support me as the new city lord' in a solemn tone.
"Don't think that if you praise me, I will let you be the city lord." General Zuo felt a little ridiculous, and even doubted whether the kind words spoken by such a person were worth being happy about. "How can a woman become the city lord? The city lord is not as good as you think." It’s that simple.”
"If the enemy army comes to the city again, I can commit suicide to appease the enemy army, and I will never live to implicate anyone. Will the new city lords you go to seek refuge with be as able as I can guarantee it." Sara's cruelty is beyond General Zuo's imagination, let alone General Zuo's imagination. Whether she is really so decisive, she can tell, she is stronger than many city lords.
No one is implicated, including General Zuo.
General Zuo pursed his lips and said nothing.
Since Suo Luo stopped the horse, he thought about how to persuade General Zuo. The Warring States Period was so chaotic, why didn't General Zuo become the city lord himself, but instead relied on one city lord after another? Not only that if you become a city lord, you will have a high probability of defeat due to your weak strength. If you lose as a city lord, you will be killed by the enemy leader. If you die, you will still have the chance to enjoy treasures and beauties.
She is the biggest thorn in the enemy's side, and all resentment and calculations will come towards her. As a general, General Zuo only needs to lead troops to fight. Even if he is defeated, as long as she does not fear death and takes the initiative to apologize, he can surrender to the new master and still be a master.
How could General Zuo not be moved by the city lord who decided to die like her?
"I am weak and have no ability to intervene in the army. You will tightly control the army and have absolute say."
"You know, I was raised by my father and have never been exposed to these things. Even if one day my words work, I still don't have the ability to manage the army," Sara said, pausing for a while as if thinking, "My father only knows a little about leading soldiers." , I must have brought you a lot of trouble by randomly interfering in military affairs in the past. Don't worry, I have learned my lesson and will never do that kind of thing. All I can do is guard the home front for you and do my best to serve you. Prepare military supplies.”
The more General Zuo listened, the more excited he became, but how could Sara guarantee that what he said was true? If it's fake, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Sara knew that her words were unfounded, so she gave a solution: "If I don't work, you can just leave. Do you still think that I have the ability to stop you from leaving?"
General Zuo was surprised. He didn't expect Sara to be so willing.
All the things he said before were unfounded. He could indeed leave immediately if he wanted to.
If he leaves soon, how much wealth will she enjoy in a short period of time. There was no need for her to go to all the trouble to say so much for such a short benefit.
General Zuo suppressed his expression, his face still disdainful, and subconsciously said to Qiao: "Frankly speaking, it is really risky to appoint a woman as the city lord. You got your wish, but I will be in a lot of trouble."
After saying that, General Zuo regretted it. How could Sarao answer such words?
No matter how much General Zuo regretted it, Sara immediately understood what General Zuo meant by hiding, and was just a little unwilling to do so.
In a negotiation situation, if the two parties reach a stalemate and one party suddenly lowers its stance, it is tantamount to hinting to the other party: I have been persuaded by you, but you have to give in some more benefits.
"I know a place where there are many demon swords made by monsters. If I become the new city lord, all the swords will be given to you."
The demon sword that Sara is talking about is said to be refined by a demon named Totosai in the plot. She dared to say this, and she was more than 70% sure of getting them.
General Zuo was just subconsciously trying to make things difficult. He never thought that he could get the demon sword that is hard to buy for a lot of money.
Sara's concession was beyond General Zuo's expectations.
General Zuo frowned and tried a few more words. He learned that Sara and Sesshomaru had a close personal relationship and that Totosai was his father's retainer. He was reassured and was ready to move. The worst outcome is just to spend some time playing a game with the little girl.
The demon sword, that is the demon sword.
"General Zuo, it's hard to find a Shengming City Lord. There are half-understood City Lords who like to meddle in the army everywhere. The mediocre new City Lord you are most familiar with is right in front of you. Do you still want to hesitate?" Sara said, raising her head slightly and talking to him. General Zuo looked at each other.
General Zuo was as hot-headed as ever, but the remaining bit of reason was still thinking wildly. Could a person who said such words really be as mediocre as she said?
For the sake of the small possibility of not being mediocre, General Zuo hesitated again and again, put on a solemn expression, dismounted from his horse, and knelt in front of Sara.
"The princess is a woman, but she is the only living heir of the old city lord. Now Asuoye City is leaderless, please ask the princess to inherit the position of city lord..." General Zuo lowered his head and shouted, "Please ask the new city lord to take over Asuoye City!"
Several lieutenants were very confused that they had a new city lord in such a short time. Seeing General Zuo kneel down, and after looking at each other, they also hurriedly dismounted, lowered their heads, and shouted: "Please return the new city lord to the city lord's palace!"
One stone caused thousands of waves, and nearly ten thousand soldiers followed.
"Please ask the new city lord to take over Asoye Castle!!!"
The sky has been dark for too long, the strong wind has arrived, the heavy rain is coming, and the military flags are flapping.
General Zuo supported her in this position of city lord.
Praising him, she said nothing about her need to be protected. All she told General Zuo was what he needed and how he could get it.
Sara's frail figure was in a confrontation with the army. After accepting the worship of all the troops, she waved her sleeves and told them to stand up.
With the army, not to mention the future, let's just talk about the present. It has become easier to clean up the mess left by the cheap father.
Returning with the army, I wonder if it was luck, but my father was burned to the point where he still had one breath left. After seeing him and knowing that he would not die, Sara asked others to watch him and rest.
Suo Luo slept halfheartedly that night, but General Zuo could be said to have stayed up all night.
During the day, he had agreed to make her the new city lord when he was dizzy. Only when he calmed down did he realize how unreliable that was.
Wanting to regret but not being able to leave right away, General Zuo really wanted to get the demon sword.
At dawn, General Zuo couldn't wait to send his deputy general to look for Suo Luo.
The deputy general said that after finding a guide to get the demon sword, she could just go with their team, and there was no need to do anything else. The implication was that she was a mascot.
[That general doesn’t respect the host. 】The system spoke in Sara's mind.
'He said early this morning that he could leave immediately. I think he was looking for a guide last night. I don't know for sure, and he even thought of abandoning me immediately after grabbing a knife. 'Solo's guess is accurate.
【...What should I do? 】
Sara looked at the blue sky outside the door, full of confidence, and said: "Don't worry, he will always understand that I am the city lord he needs." '
Taking the baggage packed by her superiors, Sara walked out of the palace and met General Zuo at the gate of the city lord's palace. This time she went out without a maid.
Meeting with General Zuo, Sara immediately noticed the driver leading the way.
Without him, the coachman was not a good person at first glance. He knew that she was the new city lord, but he didn't look at her directly, and even snorted secretly. He had a strong sense of presence.
Sara remained calm, bent down and entered the carriage, lowered the curtain, and closed her eyes in thought.
The hundred-man convoy set off soon, and Sara asked the system to turn on the navigation. If there was a deviation or there was a monster ahead, she would be informed immediately.
All preparations are necessary, and it is always right to take precautions before they happen.
The road from Asano Castle to the lava land is not difficult to walk. Sara stayed in the carriage except for eating and washing up, and did not go out for a while. She was well taken care of.
Bored all the way, Sara asked the system: "Tell me about your other functions. You can't just have navigation and danger warning functions." '
Originally, the system wanted to wait until she had points before opening it for her, but when she was asked where it was hidden, she quickly pulled it out of the system mall.
[As a novice host, you have one hundred points to pay on credit. 】
Only the first level of the system mall can be opened, and no other permissions are allowed. Sara looked at the products on the first floor shelves, but they were not obvious on the surface, and she was amazed in her heart.
The driver was good at leading the way, and there were no dangers along the way. Sara remained quiet until one-third of the way to the volcanic lava land, when she suddenly expressed a different opinion to General Zuo.
"City Lord, do you have any orders?" General Zuo tightened the horse's reins and made the horse canter by the window.
Sara looked at the man in armor with a serious expression: "There is a monster nest ahead. We are now faced with two choices. One is to stop and rest and attack, and the other is to go around. My suggestion is the latter. General, what do you think? ?”
"How can there be a monster lair? I have only walked this road once before. City Lord, if you are tired or reluctant to see the beautiful scenery outside, you can just tell me."
These words were indeed true. Sara looked towards the voice and found that it was the coachman who had been hostile to her since setting off.
"The city lord has never been far away before as a princess. How can he know the road conditions when he becomes the lord of a city? General Zuo, you have to believe me. I have been doing this for many years and there is no way I can lead military men into the monster's lair."
Seeing General Zuo's troubled face, Sara didn't argue and didn't let them see the monster. They thought she was being unreasonable.
Suo Luo held up the car curtain with one hand and suggested: "General Zuo, if you want to leave, then leave. I said I will never interfere with your decision. However, you still have to be careful when going out. General, please let the soldiers be more alert and careful." There’s always something right.”
When it comes to leading the way, General Zuo of course trusts the coachman more. He has been leading the way for decades, and his professional ability is by no means inferior to that of Salo.
The team of 100 people did not take a detour and continued to follow the driver.
Birds fly over the forest from time to time, and rabbits quietly eat young leaves beside the grass on the roadside.
The hundred-man team walked on the road without any accidents.
The coachman seemed to have defeated Salo, and looked particularly proud. He gave General Zuo the names and functions of the nearby vegetation, and mingled with the soldiers.
Sara had no energy to talk to him and stayed quietly in the carriage.
