Chapter 430: No Fruit Grows Wherever It Passes



“Wuwuwu%¥#@¥#?!”

“*&!@¥%?!”

Seeing Hu Yanxue's hysterical appearance, Shangguan Qingyue turned around and asked, "Mother, what is she screaming about?"

Zhao Ying frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Maybe... begging for mercy? Tell us where we can find durian?"

Shangguan Qingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he ran towards Huyan Xue who was at the top, passing a group of courtiers who were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

"Where is it? Where is it?"

There were still some tough guys in the Jiaozhi court. Seeing this, they recovered and blocked Shangguan Qingyue's way. They bravely ignored the dark mass of Chu troops behind Zhao Ying and pointed at Zhao Ying and angrily asked Sanlian, "Who are you?!"

"How did you get in?!"

"You, Great Chu, have gone too far. You didn't take Jiaozhi seriously...ah!"

Shangguan Qingyue looked up at the burly man who was standing in front of her like a mountain. Without thinking, she stretched out her hands and, with the help of some magic power, pried the burly man's legs apart like lifting a door curtain, forming a straight line. Then she rushed over like a small cannonball. The burly man lost his balance and immediately squatted on the ground with his legs crossed in a straight line.

Zhao Ying: ...

The Chu troops behind: ...

The strong man sat on the ground, holding his inner thigh and screaming in pain.

Shangguan Qingyue walked up to Hu Yanxue, whose eyes were bloodshot, and asked, "Where's the durian? Don't eat it alone, hand it over to me!"

Hu Yanxue gritted her teeth and glared at her, continuing to scream at her. Shangguan Qingyue began to regret it. "If I had known I wouldn't have cut her tongue. I can't understand anything she says. It's so frustrating!"

At the same time, the officials of Jiaozhi began to fire at Zhao Ying and others. Although they had tongues, they could not speak the same language, and Zhao Ying could not understand them. The officials spoke in a mixed bag, and the interpreter did not know which sentence to translate. Fortunately, he could guess what they were saying by looking at their expressions.

Zhao Ying was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. They had already entered the capital, so why bother talking about these nonsense? Zhao Ying slowly drew out his sword and stabbed it into the chest of the Jiaozhi official in front. He slowly pulled it out, and thick blood plasma dripped along the blade... until it was returned to the sheath.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at her as if they had seen the devil.

Zhao Ying stepped forward and walked towards Hu Yanxue, and the court officials around him retreated like a tide.

"Mother, I don't understand what she said!"

Zhao Ying touched the little guy's head and looked at Huyanxue. Huyanxue became even more excited when she saw her. If she hadn't been afraid of the cold and murderous aura on her body from all the battles she had fought, she would have pounced on her and bit her.

She became more and more hysterical, her eyes were bloodshot, and she hammered the table with her hands. She looked like an angry beast, and her saliva was spurting everywhere because of her cursing. Zhao Ying took Shangguan Qingyue back two steps.

The little guy hugged his mother's legs, his face slightly wrinkled, [Why is she still talking about rain...]

Zhao Ying pointed his sword directly at the maidservant beside Huyan Xue, scaring her so much that she shuddered.

"From Da Chu?"

The maid knelt down, "Yes Princess!"

"Tell them that I want their holy durian fruit. Hand it over and I'll spare their lives!"

The maid swallowed her saliva, stood up tremblingly, and spoke weakly to the officials of Jiaozhi. Zhao Ying stepped forward, pointing the tip of her sword at Huyanxue's neck. Huyanxue immediately shut up and just glared at her viciously.

The world is finally quiet.

"Princess Da Chu wants you to pay tribute to her with the sacred fruit durian. If you obey, you will be safe. If you don't... I don't care if you die!"

There was a sudden commotion below.

A court official shouted angrily, and the maid translated, "Princess, he said this is unfair. The Burmese didn't pay, and you didn't kill them."

Zhao Ying: ...

Shangguan Qingyue: ...

[You're going to be great...]

"Tell them to stop talking nonsense and tell me where the durian is!"

Another translation, and the maid's expression was a little strange at the end, a little afraid to look at Shangguan Qingyue. Shangguan Qingyue looked up, still waiting eagerly, when she heard the maid say, "Reporting to the princess, they said... the durian is not produced in Jiaozhi, they went to Tianzhu to steal it..."

Zhao Ying asked in disbelief, "Stolen?"

What the hell is this? We are a country after all, yet they steal a fruit.

and……

"Tianzhu and Jiaozhi don't border each other, and there's Burma between them. How did they steal it?" Zhao Ying was curious.

The maidservant went to ask again, and finally answered her, "Your Highness, it was the monks from Jiaozhi who followed Tang Sanzang's example and went to India to seek Buddhist scriptures. However, when they arrived, they discovered that the Mahayana Buddhism was not to be passed on to outsiders, and that the Hinayana Buddhism had all been taken away by Tang Sanzang. The monks from Jiaozhi were disappointed, so in order to make sure their trip was not in vain, they stole all the offerings from the Great Leiyin Temple. When India found out, they were very angry and are now clamoring for Jiaozhi to return the offerings!"

Zhao Ying felt a blockage in his heart when he heard this, and his vision went dark.

This group...

No wonder Shangguan Shu looked so intriguing when he came back from fighting in these two places and mentioned them to her.

That’s enough!

Zhao Ying was gritting her teeth. When Shangguan Qingyue heard that they had found the wrong place again, her inner universe suddenly exploded. She clenched her fists and roared, then pushed Huyan Xue away, stepped on the Jiaozhi throne, and reached out to throw down the things on the table in front of her one by one.

"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!"

"Why steal durian when there are so many things to steal?"

The things hit the court officials below, making them scream and shriek, and the place suddenly became chaotic.

Zhao Ying felt distressed upon seeing this and quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Yue'er, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

The little guy was wrapped in his mother's arms, his little body shaking violently.

[Wow, it's so hard for me. I just want to eat a durian. How can it be easy for me?]

However, someone was still adding fuel to the fire. Seeing this, the maid glanced at Hu Yanxue, who was laughing crazily, and said weakly, "Young lady, there were actually two left before you came. The queen ate them overnight after receiving the letter."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingyue fell into a strange silence.

After a while, the mother and daughter looked at her sinisterly in unison.

Hu Yanxue's laughter stopped abruptly.

His body trembled.

The study of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Shangguan Dan walked in with a playful smile and sat down opposite Shangguan Shu. "Brother, I heard something strange today."

"What is it?"

"Today I went to a teahouse for tea and met a merchant from the Lancang Kingdom. He said that two months ago, several small countries in the southern region of the Great Chu suffered a disaster. It seems that they had offended the Invincible Demon God. It is said that the demon god has great magical powers. He can call the wind and rain, split mountains and stop rivers. Wherever he passes, no fruit will grow!"

Shangguan Shu frowned, "Not a single inch of fruit will grow?"

"That's right! It means that no fruit will grow. It is said that the evil spirit doesn't want anything else but fruits, and can eat so many at a time!" Shangguan Dan gestured exaggeratedly.

Shangguan Shu clicked his tongue and shook his head, thinking that the mental illness of the small country in the southern region had worsened.

Shangguan Dan saw his expression and knew he didn't believe it. He continued, "The merchant described it vividly, saying there were two evil spirits. One was called the Jade-faced Shura, and the other was actually a child. This child was even more powerful. It was said that his mouth was bigger than the mouth of a jar and had eight rows of teeth! That's why he was called the Giant-mouthed Greedy Child!"

Shangguan Shu sneered and raised an eyebrow, "Doesn't that mean the mouth is bigger than the body?"
