Song Jiaren's face was filled with heat. At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked abstinent and charming. There was an inexplicable light dancing in his cold and deep eyes. The hot air he exhaled was sprayed towards her sensitive neck, causing dense and tiny bumps.
Gu Zhen stared at her for a long time before whispering, "Are you satisfied this time?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Song Jiaren said this with a lack of confidence. She really hated the princess of the Wusun Kingdom. She was arrogant and looked down on everyone, as if the Crown Prince was already in her pocket. She just couldn't stand it.
But she didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would just find an excuse to get rid of her, which made her seem very important.
Gu Zhen turned over and lay on the side, pulling the quilt over him and covering himself with it. "As long as you are satisfied, go to sleep."
Just... just... fall asleep?
Song Jiaren glanced at him in confusion. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had indeed closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep. She shrank back into the couch and tightened her arms around his shoulders.
A low voice came from my ear, "If you don't sleep, do something else."
"I slept."
To prevent him from doing anything bad, Song Jiaren quickly closed her eyes.
Gu Zhen chuckled and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Go to sleep."
Feeling the kiss on her forehead, Song Jiaren felt warm inside. She felt safe lying beside him and fell into a deep sleep peacefully.
Talina was sent back to the Wusun Kingdom. The soldiers sent there also conveyed the Crown Prince's message: "The Crown Prince said that Princess Talina is arrogant and disrespectful to His Highness, disregarding both superiors and inferiors. He hopes the Queen will teach her a lesson."
The Queen of Wusun was bloated, wearing a jeweled cape and tiger skins. Her gruff voice was totally unfeminine, "Thank you."
After saying that, the burly female guard beside her took Talina and took her away.
After the guards who had escorted Talina left, the Queen of Wusun stretched her fat body, slowly stood up with the help of others, and walked to the back of the hall with a staggering step.
“…Queen.” Talina knelt on one knee with her head lowered.
The Queen of Wusun narrowed her eyes, then smiled kindly and said, "Talina, how are things going?"
"My Queen, there are four guards at the camp gate, two teams patrolling separately. There are usually only two people guarding the area around the main tent. The soldiers train in the morning and continue training before sunset, under the guidance of the general and the crown prince. There's no one in front of the main tent during this time." Talina hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "But..."
A trace of disgust flashed in the queen's eyes. She hated Talina the most. Among her dozen daughters, only she was always self-righteous. She was as unpleasant as her biological father, spoke slowly, and could not get things done.
"Only what?"
Talina lowered her head, so she didn't see the cruel look in the queen's eyes. She said to herself, "It's just that His Royal Highness has a favorite woman who often wanders around the camp. I'm afraid she might run into us and attract the soldiers. That would be difficult to deal with."
How could the Queen not know about Talina? Saya has told her everything. It was simply Talina who was looking for trouble and caused trouble herself, so she was sent back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What a useless thing!
He actually wanted to use her to get rid of that Chinese woman. What a waste.
"I'll leave this matter to you. I'll assign you ten Deadpools to bring back the Tiger Talisman. Can you do it?"
Talina was entrusted with an important task, her blood boiling. She clenched her left fist and placed it on her heart, swearing, "I will complete it!"
When she got the tiger talisman, the first thing she would do was to capture that woman and torture her to death bit by bit. She couldn't let her die too quickly, as that would make her angry.
After Talina left, the messenger Saiya came to the queen and asked puzzledly, "My king, why did you let Talina take Deadpool with her?"
Everyone knows that Talina is not good at anything. She will definitely be discovered if she goes there. Then she will be in danger. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of China will definitely not let her go. She can't even send a letter requesting for marriage because it was intercepted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men. Can she really steal the tiger talisman?
The Queen laughed meaningfully, her laughter loud and deafening. After laughing for a long time, she said, "After all, she has been there once, so she must be familiar with the route. As long as we take the Deadpools there, she won't be needed for anything else. How could I possibly expect her to steal the Tiger Talisman, that idiot!"
As if thinking of something unhappy, he frowned and said, "Go and call Deadpool Lusa over."
Saya replied cautiously with a "yes." She breathed a sigh of relief after walking out of the palace. The queen had become more and more moody in the past two years. She heard that a servant whom she doted on before was beaten to death just because he cried twice in front of the queen. Now that Princess Talina has been abandoned, she may not be able to come back this time. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't kill her, those ten deadpools will not let her come back.
Deadpool Rosa was dressed in black, with a black veil, purple eyes, white skin, long golden hair hanging down behind her, and a curvy figure. She stood in front of the queen neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed. "What do you want me to do, Queen?"
The queen looked her up and down, jealous of her voluptuous and enchanting body and beautiful appearance. She said unhappily, "Follow Talina to the Huaguo camp to steal the tiger talisman. She has been there before and is familiar with the troop deployment. She can find a gap and sneak into the tent. The tiger talisman must be inside."
Rosa looked embarrassed. It would be difficult for her to stay unnoticed if she took that fool Talina with her.
The queen noticed her hesitation and continued, "As long as Talina brings you to the main tent, there's no need to rescue her even if you're discovered. If necessary, you can push her out to attract more troops, making it easier for you to sneak in. If she's captured, there's no need to rescue her. Leave her to fend for herself. If she makes it back with you, quietly kill her along the way. I don't want to see that idiot again!"
Rosa acted as if it had nothing to do with her. She was just a dead servant hired by the queen, doing the job for money. She was not interested in the twists and turns involved and just followed orders. As long as the queen said a word, she would kill whoever she was told to kill.
However, she was a little worried after hearing that the Chinese soldiers were strong and powerful, especially since the incident of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of China beheading the First Prince of Xianbei not long ago made her a little hesitant. It would be very dangerous to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's place to steal the tiger talisman.
Therefore, after she returned, she discussed with the other nine Deadpools and, according to the Queen's instructions, let Talina attract the soldiers while they took action.
There was a cold wind blowing at the border for two days, and the tents were whistling. In the heavy snow, several soldiers wearing felt hats and boots were stationed at the entrance of the camp, and the patrolling soldiers moved forward in the cold wind.
Song Jiaren didn't dare go out, for fear of being blown away by the wind. She huddled by the stove and roasted corn and sweet potatoes. The stove lid was open, with a piece of corn on top, roasted tenderly and sweetly. Below was a piece of sweet potato buried in the ashes, with the skin charred black.
"Your Highness, would you like roasted corn or roasted sweet potatoes? Why not try both?"
Gu Zhen was sitting in a chair reading a book when he smelled a faint fragrance. He didn't know whether it was corn or sweet potato. "Whatever."
Song Jiaren took the corn on the stove aside to dry, then picked out the sweet potatoes, wrapped them in a thick handkerchief and broke them into two halves. The sweet smell of sweet potatoes rushed into her nostrils. She sniffed the fragrance and gave the slightly larger piece to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"It smells so good, try it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Gu Zhen looked at the sweet potato with a charred skin and steaming hot inside. He took a small bite of it wrapped in a thick handkerchief. It was sweet and soft, with the aroma of charred skin and the sweetness of sweet potato.
Song Jiaren took a few bites and blew on them while eating. "How is it? Not bad, right?"
"That's right. How did you know how to eat it this way?" Gu Zhen quickly finished eating the other half.
Song Jiaren certainly can't say that you can see it everywhere on the streets in modern winter. She can only vaguely say, "I just heard about it. There's also corn here. You can try it too."
I took the roasted corn on the table and handed it to him. The outside of the corn was roasted until golden brown, and each grain was distinct.
Gu Zhen took a bite. Although the way of eating it was a bit unrefined, it tasted good. The outside was chewy and the inside was soft and fragrant. It was a pity that she refused to tell him how she knew this way of eating it, which made it less fun.
When Luo Wenhao asked the soldiers to bring dinner, the two of them were already full. They looked at the food on the plate and couldn't eat it, so they asked someone to take it away.
After being stuck in the tent for two days, Song Jiaren taught the Crown Prince how to play poker and Gobang. They ate roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn, and had a small barbecue on the stove.
Finally, the wind stopped and the snow stopped. Song Jiaren finally got out of the tent and was able to breathe some fresh air, feeling refreshed.
The soldiers were busy clearing the snow. Gu Zhen and Luo Wenhao were discussing matters in the big tent. Song Jiaren did not go over to disturb them. She had no idea about the troop deployment, it was like listening to a book from heaven.
At night, a team of deadpools quietly arrived at the camp, bypassed the gap between the changing of guards and patrols, and successfully arrived in front of the big tent.
Deadpool Rosa felt uneasy all the way. They came in too smoothly and didn't even encounter a single soldier. Although these ten Deadpools were well-trained and had a good understanding of each other, they were led by Talina. It was impossible for them to find the big tent without missing a single step.
But it was already too late for her to notice anything. She asked Talina to guard the door, made a gesture behind her, and led the other Deadpools to crouch down and carefully lift the curtain to enter the tent.
There was a fire in the tent, and everything was hazy. It was even as if they were afraid that they would not be able to find the tiger talisman, so they placed it on the table without any cover.
If they realized this and didn't realize they had fallen into the trap, they would be very stupid. But they waited for a long time and no soldiers came to arrest them. What did this mean?
Is there a mechanism in the house?
Ten Deadpools in black clothes and black veils stood still as if they were frozen, not daring to move. Suddenly, Talina's secret signal came from outside.
The Deadpools looked at each other, all breaking out in cold sweats. "Lusha, what should we do? Someone is coming."
Lusa and the others had already thought of a plan. They closed their eyes and said, "As planned, let's retreat! Leave Talina behind."
"So... what about this tiger talisman? Do you want to take it or not?"
"Yeah, if we don't get the tiger talisman, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we go back."
"I'm afraid I'll die if I go back empty-handed."
Lusamine had a splitting headache. The only option left for her was to take the fake tiger talisman back and report.
