Chapter 398 How to investigate without sending troops?
"Hmph, then it's settled. I will submit this petition to Your Majesty right now! I believe Your Majesty will issue an order to kill the monster soon."

Princess Longji could not stand provocation. As Wen Rui had expected, she stiffened her neck and said, "I just don't believe that this evil demon country that murders the human race can act lawless just because it is related to the Buddha!"

Wen Rui praised: "Well, Princess, you are truly a heroine. Back then, you saw the Jiejiao monks setting the city on fire with their magical power of the Fire Crow, and you could not bear to see the people suffer, so you resolutely took action. Although I was in a different camp from you back then, I also admire your chivalrous spirit!"

Princess Longji was not a disciple of the Chan sect. She got involved in the Battle of the Gods out of her compassionate heart for all living beings.

When Wen Tai Shi sent troops to Xiqi, the Flame Immortal Luo Xuan set fire to Xiqi City. Princess Longji saw the people of Xiqi struggling in the sea of ​​fire and countless innocent lives suffering, so she resolutely took action.

It is worth mentioning that when Luo Xuan set the fire, Wen Rui was directing his soldiers to dig tunnels and pour oil into the city to fan the fire. He was also fantasizing about a big fire burning down the Zhou army and completely eradicating the rebels.

As a result, Princess Longji showed up halfway through the journey, and Wen Rui remembered the plot. He quickly abandoned Luo Xuan and sold out his teammates and ran away.

"The decision to send troops must come from above, and generals cannot act on their own. But as long as the Jade Emperor gives the order, I, Wen Ruiding, will go all out to flatten Lion Camel Ridge for the eternal peace of the people of the mortal world!"

Wen Rui spoke with such righteousness.

"Absolutely not!" Taibai Jinxing hurriedly advised: "The situation here is very complicated, Princess... Ahem, Sister Ji, please don't listen to the slander and get involved, otherwise His Majesty will be in a difficult situation!"

"Who are you saying is slandering me?"

Seeing that Taibai Jinxing was about to do something bad again, Wen Rui slapped him and said angrily, "You are really a jerk. Tell me, why shouldn't we punish monsters that eat people and create karma? How can I be considered slander when I admire the princess's righteousness?"

Taibai Jinxing was hit and spun around on the spot. Before he could recover, Princess Longji slapped him in the face.

"It would be fine if we didn't know that the people were being eaten by monsters, but we knew it but pretended to be deaf and dumb. How dare we pretend to be gods?"

Long Ji spoke righteously, his words filled with righteous indignation: "I slapped this on behalf of the wronged souls of the human race who were eaten by the monsters at Lion Camel Ridge!"

"I am the one who is wronged!"

Taibai Jinxing covered his face and explained aggrievedly: "Your Highness, what I said were all mature and prudent words for the country, and they were also for your sake. Some things involve too complicated cause and effect. The group of monsters in Lion Camel Ridge will be killed sooner or later, but not now, and it should not be done by us. If we disrupt the cause and effect, we will definitely be hit by the calamity. Even the immortal golden immortal can't stand it!"

"Humph, I have only been a deity for a short time, and I don't understand cause and effect. I only know that if you are a deity and don't serve the people, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes."

Wen Rui curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that the great gods brag about their immortality. Is it because they are good at avoiding troubles and disasters, and they don't care about anything. It's an easy title that can be obtained by living long enough?"

"Say less, Emperor Wen!"

Taibai Jinxing was finally forced into a corner and could no longer endure it. He was no longer afraid of being beaten and angrily said, "You think you are an old minister but you don't know that the demon alliance you support has long been feuding with the Lion Country? You only need to lead the troops to kill and eliminate dissidents. Your Majesty has too many things to consider!"

Wen Rui's true identity was exposed. He pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. Anyway, I am just an executor, not a decision maker. I have said that if the Jade Emperor gives the order, I will do it. If the Jade Emperor does not allow it, then forget it."

Long Ji did not give up easily. He was obviously provoked by Wen Rui and aroused his desire to protect all living beings. He said resolutely: "No matter how big the cause and effect is, I will bear it. It was the same back then, and it is the same now. The worst that can happen is that I will die for my cause!"

"You can't bear it!" Taibai Jinxing was so anxious that he didn't care about his status. He dragged Princess Longji aside and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, listen to my advice. If you submit a petition to send troops to attack Lion Camel Ridge, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will recall you the next moment, put you under house arrest, and prohibit you from participating in the investigation of the case again."

Long Ji naturally didn't believe it and pushed him away: "How could my mother act like this? Where is justice? Where is fairness?"

Although the two were whispering using the voice transmission system, Wen Rui's AI assistant could read lips. There were also cameras everywhere in the conference room, which had already translated the content of their conversation and transmitted it to him.

"Never mind, the old man is very mean, but what he said this time does make sense."

Wen Rui interjected, "His analysis is correct. Whether you believe it or not, the result will be as he said. Even if you submit a petition to argue for it, those big shots will always think that solving the problem is more cost-effective than solving the problem."

"You...why do you say that?" Long Ji was stunned and said in astonishment.

"You are the only member of our makeshift team who really wants to save people as soon as possible. Since you are a nice person, I will tell you the truth."

Wen Rui shrugged and said frankly, "I just spent a second thinking about it. Even if you submit the report, the result will only be to drive you out of the team and force the Queen Mother to replace you with a less effective monitor. I think it's better to keep you."

Long Ji narrowed his eyes, his gaze moving back and forth between Wen Rui and Taibai Jinxing's faces, his eyes wandering.

Suddenly, she attacked with both palms, and the slaps landed on Wen Rui and Taibai Jinxing's faces almost at the same time, slapping them one by one.

The fairy said angrily: "I really don't want to be with you treacherous people!"

After saying that, he glared at Wen Rui fiercely.

The slap from the first female war god in heaven was not light, but fortunately Wen Rui was thick-skinned and had the golden hoop fiber armor protection under her skin, so only half of her face was knocked off, but it quickly grew back under the repair of the fairy-level nanorobots.

Taibai Jinxing was even more miserable. The beatings he received before were just for fun by Wenrui and Longji, who didn't use any harsh force.

The slap knocked out his back teeth, which flew out of his mouth and shot through the steel wall of the underground base, leaving deep bullet holes in it.

Taibai Jinxing, who had been beaten, had a sad face and bowed to Wen Rui: "Emperor Wen, I beg you, can you please stop making trouble and quickly investigate the case and finish this mission? If you continue to make trouble, my old bones really can't stand it."

"You chose it, idol!" Wen Rui said unhappily, "Next time you have a good job, remember to recommend me to the Jade Emperor. I think we can work together and get along very well!"

Taibai Jinxing was choked and speechless. Looking at his constipated expression, Wen Rui felt that if there was a difficult task next time, Lao Deng would never recommend him, so he could avoid future troubles.

"Well, anyway, if we can't get the order from the Jade Emperor to send troops to attack the Lion Camel, how can we continue investigating this case?"

Wen Rui rubbed his beaten face, became serious, frowned and said: "Lion Camel Ridge is not an ordinary place. The monsters there are very fierce. Even if we reveal our identity as the special envoy of the Heavenly Court, we will only be beaten out when we go there."
