Everyone was looking at Meng Yu.
"My lord, it was my mistake..."
In that moment, Mister Huo was shaking with excitement. He had once chastised Meng Yu as an idiot and weak, but upon witnessing Meng Yu's sword strike, he suddenly realized that no matter what, Meng Yu's ambition had now been fulfilled!
This was not just a ruler; this was a saint!
In contrast to the criticisms of Meng Yu for being too kind, soft-hearted, and foolish, the Divine Martial King was disparaged for valuing noble families and bloodlines too much, being too generous to soldiers, and too harsh on commoners.
But from another perspective, the Great Wu Dynasty had been internally crumbling for three hundred years, and the noble families held immense power. Was there anything wrong with the Divine Martial King's polite but distanced relationships with them?
The Divine Martial King had made the right choice!
