Chapter 29: Bold
On the following journey, everyone relaxed, thanks to the sugar and because they had completely left Huaizhou and officially entered Yandi.
Jinsui thought that it would take at most three or two days to reach Yancheng. Now that we were in Yan territory, how far could Yancheng be? But he learned that there were sixteen states in Yan territory, and Yancheng was the northernmost.
They marched quickly and arrived in Huaizhou in just a few days.
Of course, we can also use a forced march on the return trip, but I don’t know if King Li can bear it?
Jin Sui shook his head directly: "I absolutely can't stand it! Let's just continue on our journey as normal!"
By the time of dinner, half of the rice and noodles that I brought from Huaizhou had been eaten.
Han Xing said that rice and flour were only for King Li to eat, and asked the soldiers to go to the nearby town to buy food.
Jinsui found that what he bought were all bean rice, which tasted irritating to the throat.
She insisted on eating the same food as the wounded, and was very angry at the same time. I am the King of Glory!
With so many people following me, I can't even afford a full meal!
No, we must find a way to ensure that the soldiers are well fed.
She was thinking about how to eat her fill, and Hei Hu started handing out energy bars again. Well, this time they were stronger.
Only one-fifth of the people did not get any. Jin Sui saw these soldiers slapping themselves in the face behind their backs.
He beat her and cursed her: "I told you to stop talking! I told you to stop talking!"
Hei Hu executed the task very well and didn't give any answer to anyone who asked a question.
Jin Sui tried hard to hold back his laughter and prepared to enter the space on time tonight to stock up on more energy bars.
At the same time, what King Li did in Huaizhou spread like the wind.
After finally escaping the bandits' pursuit, Grandpa Ling and his two companions walked out of the forest and were resting in an old Taoist temple.
Gu Changxiao successfully replaced Jinsui's identity and became a young Taoist priest with her conversion certificate.
He was so badly injured that he had to be dragged out of the forest by Grandpa Ling and Jin'an.
Even with the elixir left by Jinsui, he still developed a high fever, and as the weather got warmer, the wound became inflamed.
Grandpa Ling was afraid that he would die, because if he died, it would be even more difficult to find Jinsui!
He was reluctant to use the medicine that Lian Jinsui gave him to treat his feet, and gave it all to Gu Changxiao.
That day, Grandpa Ling left Jin'an at the Taoist temple to take care of him, and went to the town alone to buy some food and medicinal herbs, and most importantly, to find out news from the outside world.
Then he heard in great detail what King Li had done in Huaizhou. The storyteller in the local teahouse told the story in a very passionate manner.
It is said that Jiang Nansheng, the local general, was too domineering, bullied merchants, and accepted huge gifts.
The people of Huaizhou were afraid of him, feared him and hated him, so what King Li did in Huaizhou made the people of Huaizhou very excited, and they felt that they had vented their anger.
This place is not far from Huaizhou, so the news spread quickly and in detail. But after the storyteller told it, it became exaggerated.
I only heard him say:
"That General Jiang was so audacious that he actually detained King Li's 3,000 soldiers. King Li came to him, and he dared not return them!"
"Everyone knows that this Prince Li was once the crown prince. Even though he was deposed, the aura of the crown prince is still there!"
"He came to the gate of Huaizhou alone, pointed at General Jiang's nose and cursed him. General Jiang wanted to stop him, but the King of Li chopped off his palm with a knife!"
"I heard that the severed palm fell from the city wall, and blood was flying everywhere! My useless nephew happened to be in Huaizhou, and the severed palm fell in front of him..."
Grandpa Ling was reluctant to buy tea, so he couldn't enter the teahouse and could only squeeze outside the door to listen. Unfortunately, there were too many people who came to listen, and Grandpa Ling's beard was squeezed so hard that several strands were broken.
After he finished listening, he couldn't help but feel surprised. How could the style of this deposed prince be so different from what he had heard before? He couldn't help but think of his own granddaughter, who also had a big change in temperament after experiencing twists and turns.
It seems that being transformed from a crown prince to a cruel king is a huge blow to this great man!
Grandpa Ling bought some goodies and returned to the Taoist temple. He was very knowledgeable about human relations and etiquette and bought snacks for all the Taoist children in the temple.
A group of Taoist children gathered around him and asked him about the latest news in the town. Jin'an also came over, but he mainly wanted to hear if there was any news about his sister.
Then Grandpa Ling told the story of how King Li chopped off Jiang Nansheng's hand in Huaizhou, but he hadn't finished yet.
In the room over there, Gu Changxiao, who was originally unconscious due to a high fever, sat up in shock as if he was dying, and asked loudly:
"What did you say? What happened to the King of Li?"
This prince is clearly in this small Taoist temple, injured and sick, how can there be a ruthless king running to Huaizhou to kill Jiang Nansheng? But he quickly realized that yes, the little Taoist priest took his token to lure the enemy, and if they met the Yan border troops who came to rescue, they would naturally think that she was the ruthless king!
However, this little Taoist priest is too bold! She is willing to pretend to be the king. The man in black in the forest was led away by her.
But how dare she go to Huaizhou openly? She even chopped off Jiang Nansheng's hand!
The young Taoist priest was so weak that he almost fainted from digging a stone. Jiang Nansheng was a military officer, so how did she cut off Jiang Nansheng's hand? Well, even if Gu Changxiao racked his brains, he would never have thought that the young Taoist priest had a cheat!
The knife hidden in the space can be taken out instantly, just like taking objects from the air. It only takes a small hand to be cut. It's easy.
If Jin Sui knew that she only stabbed Jiang Nansheng's hand, it would have been rumored that she had cut off Jiang Nansheng's hand.
He would definitely be surprised to say, "So you ancient people didn't have to pay taxes for bragging!" Besides, when Grandpa Ling saw Gu Changxiao wake up, he was very interested in the matter of the Li King, so he told him everything he heard in the town.
When he heard about the three thousand border troops, Gu Changxiao pursed his lips tightly and sneered in his heart. How could Yandi have three thousand border troops to rescue him? At most three hundred.
Upon hearing that Prince Li was alone in rescuing the border troops, he asked Huaizhou for armor, food and fodder.
Gu Changxiao had respect for the young Taoist priest. She risked her life to help the king! When he heard the King of Li ask his soldiers to shout "Thank you General Jiang for your help" before leaving, Gu Changxiao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The wound was torn by laughing, and Jin'an hurriedly took clean cotton cloth to bandage it.
Grandpa Ling also laughed and said, "General Jiang suffered a loss. Not only did he get stabbed, but he also lost his armor and food. He was also yelled at by the King of Li, and he was so angry that he vomited blood."
The people outside all thought that the King of Li shouted this just to irritate Jiang Nansheng. He was young, so he wanted to irritate you before he left.
But Gu Changxiao saw through the truth at a glance: "Jiang Nansheng is Prince Yu's man. He dared to detain Prince Li's horses because he was instructed by Prince Yu."
"Little... Prince Li's shouting, if the news spreads to Chang'an, do you think Prince Yu will believe that Jiang Nansheng betrayed him?"
"This sentence is like a stroke of genius."
This little Taoist priest is scheming, courageous, and quick-witted. When I return to Yan, I will make her my counselor! Grandpa Ling was stunned. He looked at Gu Changxiao with a change of expression. This man dared to call General Jiang by his name. He knew a lot about Chang'an and cared so much about the King of Li. Could he be the King of Li's man? At this time, Gu Changxiao suddenly asked, "Master Ji, may I ask what is the temperament of Master Ji Sui?"
Grandpa Ling chuckled and said, "That child is quiet, considerate, filial and sensible..."
A string of good words praising his grandson came out of Grandpa Ling's mouth.
Gu Changxiao frowned upon hearing this. Although he had only spent a short time with Taoist Ji, he could feel that she was definitely not the kind of person Grandpa Ling described her to be.
Jin An still couldn't listen any more: "That was in the past. Now my brother is very courageous."
Grandpa Ling laughed: "This is really brave. Back then, when I was captured by a dozen bandits (I'm just bragging, there were only three), she dared to come and save me alone."
"I don't know what smoke was used to confuse the bandits, so the Taoist priest was able to escape successfully."
Jinan said hurriedly:
"We were surrounded by wolves. After we beat them back, my brother chased the wolves alone with a knife. He chased the wolf king for three miles (just bragging, he only chased him for a few hundred meters) and killed five wolves before returning!"
This shows that bragging is contagious...
But Gu Changxiao's heart was pounding when he heard this. It turned out that the sickly-looking little Taoist priest actually had a big heart!
She has only been using my identity for a few days, and yet she has done something so sensational that it has shaken the world.
If she really goes to Yandi, she will probably turn Yandi upside down! I beg you to help me, please add me to your collection and give me some votes. I will be very grateful~ (End of this chapter)
