The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 539 - 473: All Alone in the World

Clearly a victim, but just because of a connection with the perpetrator, they have become the target of blame as well.

Is this injustice?

The answer is undoubtedly yes.

Wei Dingjiang could sense the odd glances from those around him.

As the current Family Head of the Wei Family, he is now unrecognized by most of the clan members, making Wei Dingjiang’s mindset a bit unbalanced at this point.

As for the Eldest Princess, she was once flattered and revered by her sisters-in-law, but now, when these people see the Eldest Princess, they all have peculiar expressions.

Although no one is saying anything aloud, at this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

Yuan Bao could sense these people’s unease, so she naturally would not do anything like repaying evil with good.

...

While the members of the Wei Family were hiding in Beishan, Emperor Xia had already gathered the members of the Daxia royal family to explain the situation they were currently facing.

Upon hearing that Daxia might meet its end, the royal family members were instantly panic-stricken.

Is there a vast world outside?

What does that have to do with them?

They have no great ambitions!

The royal family has members with outstanding abilities, but even these people have no intention of blazing a new path.

The first point is that whether they can make it alive through the boundless Hanhai Desert is an unknown.

If the Hanhai Desert were so easy to cross, it would not be abandoned by the outside world.

If the Daxia royal family chooses to cross the Hanhai Desert, their entire lineage might perish en route.

"Your Majesty, why must we leave?"

"Even without the Protector, can our Daxia’s current military force not withstand the attacks from Beili and Great Yin?"

"Exactly, we refuse to leave!"

"The empire founded by the Grand Ancestor Emperor cannot be relinquished just like that!"

A group of royals unwilling to let go of their comfortable lives shouted in unison.

Emperor Xia looked at the shouting crowd and gave a laugh, saying, "Indeed, our Daxia’s military force can fend off Beili and Great Yin, but if Beili and Great Yin’s Protectors should intervene, who could resist?"

"You, you, or you?"

Emperor Xia pointed at each one.

But those royal members who were pointed at all shrank back.

They had already heard from Emperor Xia about the power of the Protectors.

The city gate of the Capital was shattered with a single sword strike.

With such power, not to mention them, even if thousands of troops were gathered, how many sword strikes could they withstand?

Previously, the royal members knew Ying Li was Daxia’s Protector, but they did not think much of the Protector’s strength.

It wasn’t until today that they realized how truly ignorant they were, like frogs in a well.

"Your Majesty, while we indeed cannot match the Protector, after all, Protectors are humans too; I don’t believe they have no weaknesses and are invincible!"

Prince Yi, serving as the ancestral regent in Daxia’s Ancestral Mansion and also the uncle of Emperor Xia, stood forward seeing everyone cowed by Emperor Xia’s presence.

"Perhaps in a direct battle, we cannot contend with this so-called Protector, but we can plan and use traps!"

"How can we give up without trying?"

"Are we really going to just hand over our ancestors’ legacy?"

"If so, I will not rest in peace!"

Prince Yi’s words resonated with certain individuals.

Of course, some in the royal family were reluctant to give up their wealth and glory, but others were unwilling to part with the Daxia royal family’s honor and the ancestors’ legacy.

"Uncle!"

Emperor Xia looked at Prince Yi with a heavy expression, understanding Prince Yi’s thoughts, but he truly did not believe Daxia had a chance of turning the tide.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to stay and defend Qianyang City!"

Prince Yi bowed respectfully, speaking with utmost sincerity, "If Daxia is destined to fall, I am willing to live and die with Daxia."

"Uncle!"

Emperor Xia spoke again.

However, Prince Yi was already set in his decision.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow Prince Yi and stay!"

"I vow to live and die with Daxia!"

One by one, members of the royal family stood out, declaring they would live and die with Daxia, and most of those who followed Prince Yi were elderly.

Among them, only a few were of a similar age to Emperor Xia, and there were none of the younger members.

"If that’s the case, then I grant Uncle’s request!"

"I will take the royal youths willing to head westwards, to build a new Daxia in that true world!"

"Are you willing to accompany me?"
