With no other options, there were no more bows and arrows.
On the hot air balloon, Zhan Qin continued to throw stones expressionlessly, without even aiming. There were tens of thousands of soldiers there; he was bound to hit one of them no matter what.
The hot air balloon taught these ancient people a lesson in what air superiority truly meant.
Thirty thousand soldiers were in a sorry state, with nowhere to hide. If Xiao Huai hadn't been there, they probably would have been in complete chaos. What use were their superior weapons and large numbers of soldiers when the enemy was in the sky and out of reach?
Thankfully, I was wearing armor, and thankfully, the hot air balloon didn't carry many rocks.
After throwing the stones, Zhan Qin did not leave immediately, but instead controlled the hot air balloon to drift towards Chu Jinjin's direction.
Parting is like a long, thin thread, one end in the sky and the other on the ground.
Mu Wei seemed to be deep in thought: "Your lover?"
Chu Jinjin corrected him triumphantly: "Wrong, my man."
She couldn't vent her anger, but Zhan Qin did it for her. It felt so good. What a bunch of bastards.
No matter how long the separation, there will always be a parting. Watching the hot air balloon fly towards the direction of Black Eagle Mountain Village, Chu Jinjin said directly, "Now can you tell me why you insist on sending me to the Northern Desert? Is it you or that other person?"
Previous speculations are no longer valid.
In the past, she and Li Dahua could take on ten men at once. With the two of them around, any force that wanted to attack the Great Qi Kingdom would have to think twice.
But things are different now. That outsider can be identified by his berserk zombies; no one can stand against him, including her.
Mu Wei seemed not to hear, his gaze fixed on the increasingly smaller hot air balloon, and said softly, "This is very effective against cavalry."
Chu Jinjin nodded: "Not just cavalry, but all of them."
Mu sighed: "Xiao Huai is short-sighted. He actually gave up on a remarkable woman like Jin Jin. I think his reign is coming to an end."
"Your taste isn't much better either." Chu Jinjin kicked him impatiently. "I'm asking you a question, so answer it now."
Mu Wei exclaimed, "We're not even officially married yet, and my wife is already abusing me!"
"If you dare call me 'wife' again, believe me, I'll rip out your tongue." The black dragon has tarnished the title of "Zhan Lang," and if it continues to tarnish it, not many people will be able to call her that anymore. Chu Jinjin has also come to understand that not being able to do something doesn't mean she can't take action.
Mu covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly.
Chu Jinjin suddenly remembered something: "By the way, has the Vice Prime Minister and his family arrived yet?"
Mu Weixiao said, "You're here, Jinjin. I've discovered that you're really no ordinary woman."
Chu Jinjin kicked him impatiently again: "Good thing you know, don't mess with me, go ride your horse."
The deputy prime minister is easy to spot in a group of people.
The second most luxurious carriage after Chu Jinjin's was accompanied by dozens of maids and servants on both sides.
Upon learning that Chu Jinjin had arrived, the Vice Prime Minister looked as if his father had just died, yet he had no choice but to bow and say, "This humble official greets the Princess."
"Don't call me princess." Chu Jinjin felt tainted, glanced at him a few times, and said indifferently, "Prime Minister, now you understand what it means to have trouble with your words, don't you? Do you regret it?"
Of all the people who wanted her to go and marry into a foreign power, he was the one who jumped the gun the most.
The vice prime minister nearly lost control of his expression, gritting his teeth as he said, "Has the princess come here to humiliate me?"
"Is that even a question? Do you think we're here to reminisce?" Chu Jinjin sneered. "Recognize your current status. You're no longer the respected Vice Prime Minister. Killing you would be as easy as killing a cow or a sheep."
Vice Chancellor: "You...."
"Do you think I'm being unreasonable?" Chu Jinjin felt it might be related to her pregnancy; she rarely spoke so bluntly before. "You've ruined my life. I could have been living happily ever after with Zhan Lang, enjoying life with my family... my..."
Chu Jinjin almost blurted it out.
She's almost two months pregnant now, and will give birth in eight more months. Who knows what will happen then?
In any case, it's highly likely that the child won't see the father when he's born.
The Vice Prime Minister spoke righteously: "Princess, you must not say such things again. You will soon become the Princess Consort of the Northern Desert. If Prince Mu were to hear this..."
Chu Jinjin waved to someone behind her.
Mu Wei, as if it were a great honor, ran over with a big smile: "Jinjin, what's wrong? Did he say something nasty?"
Chu Jinjin said calmly, "Do you mind if I like another man?"
Mu shook his head vigorously: "I mind, but Jinjin is so outstanding that she can't be treated like a normal person. If she wants to keep a few male concubines in the future, that's fine too."
Chu Jinjin: "......"
That's a bit too much.
Chu Jinjin waved Mu Wei away, glanced at the carriage, and sighed: "Are your wife and family inside?"
The vice prime minister's face instantly darkened, and he nodded.
Seemingly having heard this, two women alighted from the carriage: a middle-aged noblewoman and a woman who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, presumably the granddaughter of the vice prime minister.
The Prime Minister's wife had a kind face: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Chu Jinjin waved her hand: "There's no need for formalities when we're out and about. I'm not a princess, and I don't like that title. Just call me Miss Jinjin."
The Prime Minister's wife nodded gently: "Yes, Miss Jinjin."
Chu Jinjin was fairly satisfied with her attitude: "Madam, do you hate me?"
"Of course I hate it." The Prime Minister's wife sighed. "I heard what Miss Jinjin said just now. To be honest, if I were Miss Jinjin, I would probably have gone even further. Since the world treats me this way, I will treat them even better."
The vice prime minister stared in disbelief, as if the sky had fallen: "Madam?"
The Prime Minister's wife raised her eyelids slightly: "Shut up. I told you long ago that you can't afford to offend Miss Jinjin. If it weren't for you, would you have ended up like this?"
Women are sometimes better able to adapt to their environment than men.
While it's possible the prime minister's wife was putting on an act, it's undeniable that she has come to terms with reality.
Judging from Mu Wei's attitude and Chu Jinjin's strength, they can do whatever they want in the Northern Desert.
“Well said. It’s rare to find a wise person like you, Madam.” Chu Jinjin made her decision and stepped forward, saying in a low voice, “Madam, may I speak with you in private?”
She certainly wouldn't say these things for no reason, or out of boredom.
The two distanced themselves from the crowd, and Chu Jinjin gently lifted her clothes: "Madam, I am pregnant."
She was pregnant for the first time and had no experience. She was already showing some signs of pregnancy even though she was less than two months along. For now, you could say she was gaining weight, but what about later?
The Prime Minister's wife nearly lost her balance: "Pregnant? She's pregnant?"
She's not stupid; it definitely wasn't Mu Wei's doing.
The princess was sent to a political marriage, and before they even consummated their marriage, she was already pregnant.
Chu Jinjin was also worried: "What should I do?"
The Prime Minister's wife: "......."
Ask her what to do?
Chu Jinjin really had no other choice. If Mu Wei found out, no one could guarantee what would happen, not to mention there was also a mysterious outsider.
Pregnancy is definitely not a good time for fighting and killing.
But she didn't know any maids or eunuchs, and for such an important matter, she needed to find someone reliable.
The prime minister's wife is obviously the first choice. How could she not have some tricks up her sleeve to secure this position?
