Chapter 521 A Big Gift
After hearing this, Shen Wan actually breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the villain is really powerful and can actually deal with that man who is as bright as the wind and the moon.
Xie Mubai had said that Su Wen had to be mentally prepared for this.
If the person involved does not agree, he will never release the news rashly.
No matter what, Su Wen is their friend.
Even the villain in the book would never stab a friend in the back.
Shen Wan smiled calmly: "Nothing, go back to the room and rest."
Yes, have a good rest!
When the Third Prince's army arrives at Lanyang City, they will no longer be able to sleep peacefully.
"What the hell are you doing taking a break for?" Helian Changjun rushed over and shouted angrily, "I heard that bastard brought a full 100,000 troops this time!"
"As long as he wants, he can raze Lanyang City to the ground at any time!"
"Wan'er, listen to my advice. Take your sickly prince with you and let's go quickly!"
"I have money here, I promise you'll have a good meal after you leave!"
After living there for more than half a year, Helian Changjun has developed a deep affection for Lanyang City.
If the situation wasn't critical, he would definitely not be willing to leave here.
Shen Wan glanced at him and couldn't help but smile: "Let's go?"
"Where are you going?"
"From Lanyang City to the south, the entire territory is under the Third Prince's control. Leaving is impossible."
"To the north is the great desert."
"Although the poplar forest has taken root and can block the yellow sand from the sky, that's all it can do."
"It's absolutely impossible to leave the desert through those trees."
When the dog emperor gave Lanyang City to Chen Wan as a fiefdom, he simply wanted to trap them here to death.
Although Xie Mubai had secretly built a secret way to leave, he passed on Su Wen's message in order to lure the third prince into the trap.
Now the big fish has finally taken the bait, so why would they leave?
After hearing this, Helian Changjun and Ran Qiu's expressions suddenly changed.
"Then I'll go find my sister!" Helian Changjun said immediately with a pale face, "I'll ask my sister to write a letter to Yanshi, asking her to bring troops to rescue us!"
Ever since he and Ran Qiu fell in love with each other, he no longer concealed his identity.
But Ran Qiu was so smart that she had seen through everything long ago.
"Do you think the Third Prince has no legitimate reason and is eager to accuse the Young Madam of having secret dealings with foreign nations?" Ran Qiu rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily.
The foreign Yanshi led troops to rescue the princess of Wei. I am afraid that this matter will never be cleared up even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
Upon hearing this, Helian Changjun didn't know what to do for a moment.
That’s right, the Third Prince’s rash attack this time was without any justification.
If he had not committed a heinous crime, not only would he be a mere prince, but even the crown prince would not be able to attack the princess's fiefdom at will.
"Yeah, then why should we be afraid of anything!" Thinking of this, Helian Changjun suddenly became happy, "That damn prince has no official reason to attack us!"
After hearing this, Shen Wan's smile became even brighter: "It's a relief that you've read so many books."
"Haven't you ever heard the saying, 'If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext for it?'"
"As long as he wants to fight, he will eventually find a reason."
When Helian Changjun heard this, he couldn't help but become anxious again.
"You really don't have to rush." Shen Wan smiled and made him a cup of tea. "Don't forget, the mountains are high and the road is long from the camp to here. Besides, the road outside the city is still closed."
"It's winter again, and it snows every few days."
"If the Third Prince wants to attack us, he must first move those stones away."
"Once it's moved away, it will probably be spring."
"By the time the road is open in the spring, they'll probably be pretty tired."
"By then, do you think they will still have the strength to fight?"
After hearing this, Helian Changjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, how could he have forgotten about this.
The last time we cleared the road, the people of Lanyang City came out in full force, and it took a long time.
Although the Third Prince has an army of 100,000, they can't withstand the wind and snow now!
In terms of economy and topography, Lanyang City is really not worth mentioning.
But when it comes to the harsh environment, it is definitely not inferior to any small town!
joke!
If it were even a little bit off, it would never have become the place of exile for serious criminals of the imperial court.
Thinking of this, Helian Changjun became happy.
He was happy, but the third prince was so angry that he almost cried.
He originally thought that he had suffered a lot, but on the march to Lanyang City, he was almost broken by the bumpy and dilapidated road.
He didn't understand how that group of frail convicts had managed to reach Lanyang City.
"Your Highness, the bridge ahead is broken!" A soldier standing outside the car said cautiously, "Should we take a detour?"
It is normal for an old bridge that has been in disrepair to suddenly break.
But if we take a detour, it might be the beginning of next spring before we reach Lanyang City.
The third prince frowned slightly and reached out to lift the cotton curtain on the carriage.
Looking up, I saw a broken bridge on a frozen river.
"Just cross the river!" he said immediately without even thinking.
These soldiers are really pampered.
So what if the bridge is broken? It snowed heavily last night and a thick layer of ice has already formed on the river.
Wouldn't everything be solved as long as we walk across the river on the ice?
When the soldier heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly said, "Absolutely not!"
"Your Highness, it's true that the river is frozen, and the ice is quite thick."
"But we have an army of 100,000. This ice may not be able to bear the weight of so many people."
The third prince disagreed.
"We're not crossing the river together, what are you afraid of?" He said with a gloomy face and a cold smile, "Let's form a long snake formation and cross the river one by one."
"I don't believe this will cause any problems!"
Even if a few unlucky people fall into the river occasionally, it’s just their bad luck!
The soldier wanted to speak, but when he saw the third prince's cold gaze, he had no choice but to retreat.
Soon, the soldiers formed a long snake and marched forward.
Everything seems perfectly normal.
The third prince looked at it for a while before ordering the coachman to drive forward.
That’s right, the soldier must have overthought it.
It is so cold today that water turns to ice.
The ice on this river is probably as hard as the frozen soil on the ground.
Soon, the carriage arrived in the middle of the river.
Suddenly, the cry of crows was heard not far away.
The third prince's heart tightened.
He was just about to stick his head out to check when he heard the sound of ice breaking.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he and his car fell directly into the icy river.
At this time, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai were hiding in the space and saw the scene clearly.
"You are so naughty." Xie Mubai curled his lips into a smile, "The Third Prince is already weak and frail. If this happens, I'm afraid he will be ill for a while longer."
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Who made him so evil? He even killed his own mother. How can I justify his cruelty if I don't give him a big gift?"
"But how did you predict that he would cross the river on ice?"
