Chapter 345 Another Encounter with Acquaintances
Prince Ning had never played like this with Qiuqiu before, and after seeing Qiuqiu's actions, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
This is not the way to embarrass yourself.
Even though they didn't have a plan, they can't just make a random one!
Their mission was to annihilate the Turks, not to deceive them. And she's playing the goddess? What, does she want to unify the Turks and become Khan here?
"Chirp, stop fooling around."
But the old woman and Ayi seemed even more excited, "The Goddess's Song..."
Prince Ning: "???"
No, are all your Turkic songs this outrageous?
Wait a minute, what exactly is your relationship with the Turks?
It's no secret that Chiu Chiu sings terribly, but it's still quite remarkable that she can still make the lyrics understandable even when she sings so badly.
Jin Fengnian secretly gave a thumbs-up, looking quite proud. "That's really well-written!"
This isn't something Qiuqiu made up... She probably knows who the unreliable goddess is.
【I really am a saint!】
Hehe, treasures are all chirp!
Prince Ning & Jin Fengnian: It seems she even fooled herself.
Chiu Chiu firmly believed that this was guidance from Chief Fu Niu, and planned to use the saintess's name to steal the treasure.
Prince Ning grabbed Qiuqiu by the collar, "Don't forget our mission."
Chiu Chiu gave him a disgruntled look and slapped his hand away: "Yes, Saintess, that's disrespectful."
Hey, she's getting out of breath just from being called fat.
Qiuqiu was determined to become the Holy Maiden, and when Prince Ning tried to stop her, he was punched by Jin Fengnian.
Prince Ning lowered his voice: "You dare to hit me?"
Jin Fengnian is quite the little tyrant. He listens to Qiuqiu because Qiuqiu is his lucky star. As for Prince Ning...
"Since the emperor is far away, I'll hit you if I want!"
"You're listening to her instead of me?" Prince Ning was exasperated. "Do you even know what she's doing?"
Jin Fengnian shrugged and spread his hands: "Does it matter what she does? I believe her, unconditionally!"
This is the unspoken understanding between them!
You wouldn't understand even if I told you.
A disdainful look made Prince Ning feel isolated.
Even though it's a scene with three people, he can't have any sound.
Chiu Chiu pretended to be a saintess without any burden, and not only that, she even thought of swaggering directly to find the Turkic Khan's personal guards.
Prince Ning had no choice but to follow him. But along the way…
“A little tail followed behind.”
Jin Fengnian turned around abruptly, and Ayi, unable to dodge, met his gaze.
She scratched her head sheepishly and slowly walked out, saying, "I was just worried that you might encounter danger since you're unfamiliar with the area."
Ayi was an orphan picked up by her grandparents. She struggled to make a living with them, and she was well-liked from a young age. She would nod and smile at anyone she met on the street.
She held Qiuqiu in one arm and whispered some precautions to the three of them.
"The Khan's army has migrated to the southern tribes, so this place is safe for the time being. However, the person who greeted me just now was a maidservant of the Third Prince's wife, so the person temporarily in charge of this land should be the Third Prince."
"Holy Maiden, do you wish to see the Third Prince?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head like a rattle-drum, "I'm not going."
Ayi nodded: "Okay."
As she walked, she explained the current situation in the Turkic Khaganate to them. Until Prince Ning grabbed her by the collar: "Miss Ayi, wouldn't you like to explain to us where we are?"
Chirp peeked out and exclaimed, "Whoa! We've reached the enemy's lair!"
Before Ayi could speak, the guards near the royal tent surrounded the four of them, pointing their swords at them and shouting, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the royal tent!"
Chiu Chiu's eyes darted around as she quickly surveyed her surroundings, before she fell into a complete daze.
Jin Fengnian spat twice, glared at Ayi, assuming that she had frightened Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, we're not afraid, Jinjin will definitely help you escape."
This grandfather and grandson were probably feigning helplessness to scam them; it's just that they lacked experience in the ways of the world and forgot the treacherous nature of people.
ChiuChiu's inner monologue: [They're so poor!]
The area around the royal tent was desolate, without a single patch of green, which is why they didn't immediately realize that this was actually the Turkic royal tent.
Having grown accustomed to the prosperity of the capital and the ornate architecture of the imperial palace, Qiuqiu realized that it was no wonder the Turks had always wanted to invade the Great Zhou.
The Turkic warriors, who were pointing their weapons at them, could hardly hide their disdain; they even felt inferior.
Taking advantage of the silence, Ayi quickly explained, "The Third Prince is not a bad person; you can cooperate with them."
Chirp: "They're all bad!"
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!
Prince Ning & Jin Fengnian: Qiuqiu is so cultured now?
【Wait... something's not right!】
It seems like she's the odd one out!
Never mind, she's the perfect little brat!
The three were taken into the royal tent. They still had some humanity left and were relatively kind to Qiuqiu. She was gently tossed to the ground.
She lost her balance and rolled around, finally meeting a pair of big, round eyes.
The little girl crawling on the ground was not much different from Qiuqiu, with two pigtails sticking up in the air, and two bright red spots on her dark red face that stood out.
She saw Qiuqiu laughing happily, crawled forward to approach, poked Qiuqiu's chubby face with her finger, and happily turned around to shout to the man sitting on the tiger skin, "Sister!"
Chiu Chiu's eyes widened, her head tilted back, and she distanced herself from the overly friendly little dumpling. [Who's your sister? I'm the older sister, okay!]
Chiu Chiu corrected: "Sister!"
Little dumpling: "Eh!"
Chirp: "???"
She took advantage of me!
Prince Ning reacted quickly and stopped Qiuqiu, who was about to rush forward. It was best to keep a low profile on someone else's territory.
Who knew the little dumpling opposite her was unhappy, slapped away Prince Ning's hand, and said to the man in a coquettish tone, "Father, it's my sister."
The man sitting at the head of the table smiled gently at the little dumpling and waved to the guards at the door, saying, "Since the princess likes it, send it over to be washed and cleaned."
Chiu Chiu cried out in terror, "Huh? Did it get killed?"
[They didn't even talk to me before washing and killing me?]
Chiu Chiu stretched out her little hands and struggled to speak, "Let's talk."
Let's talk again! I'm very valuable!
[We need to ask my uncle, my mother, and my father for ransom; everything is negotiable.]
Jin Fengnian struggled to his feet: "Release her! You petty thieves actually laid a hand on a child! You truly are ruthless Turks!"
The Third Prince didn't even flinch at Jin Fengnian's insults, and simply waved his hand: "Take him away."
Chiu Chiu: [They're going to kill the hostage!]
Jin Fengnian collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state, and Ayi's expression also changed. She raised her curved knife at the Third Prince: "The Third Prince's Consort will not allow you to harm the Han people."
Jin Fengnian took the opportunity to kick Prince Ning: "You damn well better say something! Qiuqiu has been taken away by them."
Reveal your identity and scare them to death!
Prince Ning did not move, staring intently at the Third Prince.
The third prince scoffed, "After looking at me for so long, do you still recognize who I am? Zhou Chenghao, your memory is getting worse and worse."
Prince Ning stirred slightly, as if confirming something, "Dumb slave!"
"How dare you!" the guard shouted, and just as Prince Ning was about to make a move, the Third Prince waved him away.
"Stop! This is my honored guest."
"Zhou Chenghao, I told you long ago that we would meet again."
This was unexpected, it happened so quickly.
Jin Fengnian understood, "So you two know each other after all!"
