Chapter 377 Understand Me

"Sister-in-law...you really understand me."

Huo Yanran didn't expect Chunzhi to be not surprised at all that she had a team of private guards, and even guessed what she was thinking at the first moment.

It's like a worm in her stomach.

"You have to think about it carefully."

Chunzhi did not judge whether the little princess was right or wrong, smart or stupid, she just asked the little princess to think twice before acting.

Chunzhi said, "This is what the Queen Mother gave you to protect your life. If you reveal it now, it will be difficult to form a private guard like this."

Huo Zheng has only recruited 800 secret guards over the years, and there are casualties every year, so he needs to select and train new ones.

Huo Yanran's private guard team of 500 people was secretly formed by her mother, and it was really hard-earned.

"Now is the time when we need them most." Huo Yanran said with great seriousness, "After Seventh Brother and Lord Mu went to pursue the enemy yesterday, they went deep into Huxue to launch a night raid on the three major tribes. They only brought such a small number of people, and the three major tribes gathered here. This trip is really dangerous..."

In fact, the little princess couldn't sleep after her seventh brother left, but she didn't want to make her sister-in-law worry, so she kept closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.

"If anything happens to Seventh Brother, I will never be able to redeem myself. I plan to have General Sun lead this private guard team with the Seventeenth Prince to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory. If they can help Tuoba Ying kill his enemies and regain power, that would be great. If not, they can also assist Seventh Brother and escort him back safely."

Huo Yanran had just stood in the wind and snow and thought a lot.

She said to Chunzhi with a guilty conscience: "I just want to wrong my sister-in-law and put herself in danger with me."

Once this private guard team was sent out, the situation of the wedding party became even more dangerous.

But Huo Yanran still couldn't think of a better way.

She couldn't let Tuoba Ying die like this, nor could she let her seventh brother be left without anyone to support him.

The little princess would rather put herself in danger than fight for a chance of survival for her seventh brother and the others.

"What are you complaining about?" Chunzhi held Huo Yanran's hand. "You sent this private security team to rescue your seventh brother, who is also my husband. What are you talking about putting yourself in danger? There is no place in the entire Beili territory that is absolutely safe right now."

This place is secretive, but you can only hide here for a while.

If anything happened to Huo Zheng and the others, the entire wedding procession would be wiped out here.

Chunzhi said: "You can say whatever you want to do. Sister-in-law believes that the choice you make is the right one."

“Sister-in-law…”

Huo Yanran held Chunzhi's hand, feeling the warmth in each other's palms.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Outside the carriage, the wind and snow lingered. Huo Yanran ordered the palace servants, "Go and invite General Sun and Lord Liu over."

"Yes, Princess."

The palace maid responded and went over.

Soon, General Sun and Liu Yan arrived in front of the carriage one after another.

Chunzhi lifted the carriage curtain and said to the two men, "It's cold outside, come in and talk."

General Sun was in his early thirties. Upon hearing Princess Chang'an's words, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not. Princess, just speak frankly. I will stand here and listen."

Chunzhi did not speak immediately. Liu Yan knew that Princess Chang'an was not a frivolous person. She asked them to get on the carriage and talk at this time because what they wanted to say must not be heard by outsiders.

"Obedience is worse than respect." Lord Liu said to General Sun, "General, please."

Liu Yan was well-known for his emphasis on rules and etiquette. General Sun was quite shocked to see him get on the carriage without saying a word, and immediately followed him into the carriage.

The palace maids and eunuchs all retreated outside the carriage.

In the entire carriage, there were only Chunzhi, Huo Yanran, Liu Yan, and General Sun.

The latter bowed and saluted, "May I ask what the princess and the princess want to do for you?"

Huo Yanran simply repeated to the two of them what she had said to her sister-in-law before.

Upon hearing this, General Sun Liangji frowned. "The princess has a private guard of 500 men? Instead of using them to escort the bride, she's lending them to Beili's Seventeenth Prince to seek revenge. How foolish of you, Princess!"

The situation in Beili is complicated right now, and if you are not careful, you may die here.

The more guards they have, the safer they will be.

But the little princess was ignorant and still wanted to be a good person at this time and lend this private guard team that could be used at a critical moment to the Beili people.

Sun Liangji didn't want to die, so he immediately said to Princess Changning seriously, "This is absolutely not allowed!"

He even called out "Master Liu," "Come and talk to the princess about how to lend out the guards at this time!"

Liu Yan said, "Instead of being stuck here, I think it's better to take a risk."

When Huo Yanran heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly.

"I didn't expect Lord Liu to be so confused!" Sun Liangji didn't expect Liu Yan to stand on the princess' side at such a critical moment. He was angry and anxious, and hurriedly looked at Princess Chang'an, "Princess, you are a sensible person, you can't let the princess act like this!"

Chunzhi asked him in return, "What did Yanran do wrong?"

Sun Liangji was stunned for a moment, then immediately added, "The civil unrest in Beili is not a bad thing for us in Daxing. No matter who the new Khan of Beili is, the princess will be happy to marry her with such a large dowry. In my opinion, Your Highness should not have rescued the Seventeenth Prince last night, and should not have gone with Mu Xu to attack the three major tribes at night. If we had stayed out of it, nothing would have happened now..."

Chunzhi picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on Sun Liangji's head. "It's none of your business to say what my husband does!"

Princess Chang'an has always presented herself as gentle and virtuous. Not only has Sun Liangji never seen her angry, but even Huo Yanran, who has been with her for such a long time, has never seen it happen.

For a moment, the entire carriage was extremely quiet.

Sun Liangji was stunned by the blow, with blood flowing down his forehead. He raised his hand to cover the wound. He didn't know where the seemingly weak Princess Chang'an got so much strength to smash his head directly.

Sun Liangji gasped in pain, feeling unconvinced. "Prince Chang'an shouldn't have come to Beili in the first place. We're sending Princess Changning to Beili in the name of the Emperor. Beili's regime changes, fighting, and civil unrest are none of our business. Even if Princess doesn't like to hear it, I have to tell you the truth..."

Chunzhi sneered and picked up the teapot on the table. Sun Liangji was afraid that she would smash it again, so he paused while speaking.

Unexpectedly, this time Chunzhi simply picked up the teacup, slowly took a sip of tea, gave Liu Yan a look, and said, "In that case, what General Sun said is not without reason."

"Ah?" Sun Liangji didn't expect Princess Chang'an to change the subject so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, then walked forward cautiously. "That's right, Beili people kill Beili people, why should we Daxing people get involved in trouble? Self-preservation is the most important thing..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Yan on the side suddenly struck Sun Liangji with a knife and knocked him unconscious.

"you……"

Sun Liangji turned to look at Liu Yan who had suddenly attacked, but before he could say anything, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Huo Yanran took out a hemp rope and together with Liu Yan tied up Sun Liangji tightly.

The little princess wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Sister-in-law is always better at judging people. By the way, how did sister-in-law know that Sun Liangji didn't want to go, and how did she stop me from lending out my private guard team?"
