Chapter 382 [Robbed]

"According to what Sheng Zhixing learned from the original owner's memories, the original owner was very tolerant and doting towards these three children. No matter how excessive their actions were, they were forgiven. Perhaps it was because a loving father often spoils his children."

Master Liao felt that something was amiss, and his chubby face wrinkled. "I heard Sheng Zhixing talk about the Third Prince's past, and it seems that they have a pretty good relationship."

"Compared to the cruel eldest prince and the arrogant second princess, the third prince doesn't seem like an ungrateful person."

“But the Third Prince didn’t send anyone to look for Sheng Zhixing when he disappeared.

Jiang Lili picked up a string of South China Sea pearls and thought that if the third prince was so wealthy, the eldest prince and the second princess must be even richer. Nanzhao was truly wealthy.

"Could it be that he's been keeping it a secret, secretly searching for Sheng Zhixing but we don't know about it?"

"It's no use just to speculate here." Master Liao thought of the Third Prince's obedience to his every word and said, "I'll find a chance to ask him indirectly tomorrow."

Jiang Lili nodded. She remembered a contradiction in Third Prince Ye and then added, "Isn't Third Prince seeking immortality and severing his worldly ties? Then why is he fighting for the throne?"

"Or is it because you have no opinion and so you are wavering?"

"Master, please make sure to clarify this matter."

Master Liao nodded seriously: "By the way, I have to find Su Rui and ask him to introduce me to some immortal cultivation novels, so that I can deceive, ugh, teach the Third Prince."

Jiang Lili remembered that Su Rui had been taken away by Xun San for spy training since they got off the dock. "I don't know what Xun San said to Su Rui after he took him away. Why hasn't he made any move yet?"

@Jiang Lili: Su Rui, where are you now? Are you okay?

@Su Rui: They asked me what talents I had, and I don't have any. They're giving me intensive training in exotic dancing, but my limbs are uncoordinated and I dance like a giant crab. They won't let me go, saying I can't rest until I'm done. Li Li, save me!

Jiang Lili was just about to comfort Su Rui and find a reason to negotiate with Xun San when there was a hurried knock on the door.

Rong Xichengyun's anxious voice rang out from outside the door: "Boss Jiang, this is bad. Our sheep have been stolen."

Jiang Lili and Master Liao were stunned when they heard this.

Jiang Lili quickly walked to the door and flung it open. "Who is so bold as to steal our sheep?"

Xi Chengyun was so angry that his face turned red: "It's the Second Princess's man!"

"After we sent the sheep to the Anemone City military camp and settled them there, the soldiers tied them up and threw them out of the camp."

"Rong Yi tried to argue with them and demand payment for the sheep, but they beat him up!"

After hearing that one of their own was injured, Jiang Lili quickly looked Xi Chengyun over carefully. "Where is he? How is his condition now? Are there any other wounded soldiers?"

"Not really. The Xin family army has seen a lot of storms and waves, so they kept their composure and persuaded me to stay calm as well."

Xi Chengyun clenched his fists. He always remembered the goddess' words that he must not cause trouble outside and must keep his composure in everything. He waited for the goddess's instructions and suppressed his anger.

But he didn't expect that the usually steady military advisor Rong Yi would start an argument with the people in the barracks: "Rong Yi's injuries are not serious, and he has already been given medicine. It's just this breath that we can't swallow!"

Jiang Lili remembered that the Third Prince's forces were also traveling with them. "Didn't the Third Prince's people lead you to deliver the sheep? Now that the sheep have been stolen, how will they react?"

Xi Chengyun sighed: "They advised us to come back first and not to conflict with the other party. The Third Prince will give us justice."

"I feel like they're just brushing us off."

Jiang Lili frowned. The Third Prince's men had other purposes in entering the Haikui City military camp. They must be trying to make a big deal out of a small one. "Forget it, let's go check on Rong Yi first."

Jiang Lili remembered that there was a lot of bone soup left when the small kitchen was finished. She went to get a bowl of bone soup, and finally came to the room where Rong Yi was resting with Xi Chengyun.

There was already a doctor in the room, using bandages to fix Rong Yi's shoulder and arm.

When the doctor saw Jiang Lili and the others coming, he explained, "Miss Jiang, my surname is Wang, and I'm the doctor assigned by Military Advisor Xun."

Doctor Wang put away his medicine box and slung it across his back. "This young man's shoulder blade is broken. I've already applied some medicine and bandaged his arm. He should be able to recover after three months of recuperation."

After giving some instructions, Doctor Wang left with his medicine box.

Xi Chengyun looked surprised: "The Third Prince is really involved in this matter?"

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Jiang Lili looked at Rong Yi, whose shoulder was wrapped in bandages, and couldn't help but feel anxious: "Look, why are you so anxious with them? Come back and talk to us when you have something else. It's just 500 sheep, right? We don't need any!"

"Your shoulder blade is more important than five hundred sheep!"

Jiang Lili glanced at Xi Chengyun: "A broken bone is not considered a serious injury?"

Xi Chengyun touched his nose awkwardly.

Rong Yi scratched his head with the arm he could move: "Boss Jiang, don't blame him. I told Brother Xi not to tell you."

When he heard Jiang Lili say that his shoulders were far more important than these five hundred sheep, he was deeply moved and thought it was great that he followed the right boss.

Rong Yi explained, "I deliberately caused a conflict with those officers and soldiers to create some chaos."

"I want to make this a big deal, so that the people in the city and those who come to Nanzhao Kingdom to do business will know the character of the Second Princess and her soldiers."

The candlelight in the room flickered, and the expression on his face flickered like the candlelight: "When we march and fight, we must adhere to the principle of having a legitimate reason for our actions."

"Now, as a merchant from another country, the Second Princess robbed me of 500 sheep, and I was even injured..."

When Jiang Lili heard what Rong Yi said, she thought about what he said and the look in her eyes when she looked at him changed.

She originally thought that Rong Yi was just a pirate strategist who would come up with bad ideas and cheat people, but she didn't expect that this man was really good when he got serious.

Jiang Lili gave Rong Yi a thumbs up: "Amazing, you've thought of this! I admire you!"

Xi Chengyun scratched his head. Why couldn’t he understand what these two people were talking about?

Adhering to the principle of asking questions when you don't understand something, he raised his doubts: "Why are you deliberately causing trouble? What good will it do us if it gets out of hand? Haven't the people of Haikui City already known that the princess is a bully?"

"Will there be others who will help us seek justice and force a powerful person like the Second Princess to apologize and pay us compensation?"

Jiang Lili showed a mysterious smile on her face: "Maybe someone will really do justice for us."

"Merchants from other countries were openly robbed and injured by the Second Princess. This will seriously affect the business environment in Nanzhao and cause panic among the people."
