Chapter 132: Taking Yangcheng
Chunzhi answered Su Zhenzhen directly with her actions, taking the lead and charging out with her bare hands.
Before the soldiers who were fighting the fire could react, she had already finished them off in no time.
Adhering to the principle of not getting involved in cause and effect, Su Zhenzhen followed the same method to find Li Da and conveyed her hatred for life to him.
Now we just need to get Jiang Sijin out, but there's no rush.
Su Zhenzhen simply climbed onto the roof and waited quietly for good news to come.
The attack from within and without went very smoothly, and Hu Wencai only received the news when the city gates were breached from the outside.
"What's going on? The princess's carriage has entered Yangcheng. Which force is so bold as to start a war?"
Regardless of any past grievances or entanglements, anyone who dares to raise an army to invade the city, as long as there are members of the royal family within its borders, will be considered a traitor and will be punished by all under heaven.
This is why, even with a large army outside Yangcheng, Hu Wen still dared to let Jiang Sijin's carriage in.
He had no idea that these soldiers, who were flying the Huo family's banner, were actually part of the same group as Princess Jiang.
After all, no force would associate with a woman. Even if she was a princess of the imperial family, she only had an empty title and did not have much real power.
"My lord, that rebel army is coming on strong, and Yangcheng is already in chaos. Should we surrender or flee? You must make a decision quickly, my lord." The county magistrate had fought his way here with his sword, and his robes were already stained with blood.
Hu Wen was furious, but the current situation was pressing, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Bring that princess out. Anyone who dares to disrespect the royal family deserves to be punished by the whole world. Go and shout at those rebels."
Jiang Sijin was carried out and was considering whether to continue pretending to be asleep when she heard someone shouting above her.
"Jiang Sijin, quickly use your hair to subdue these people."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a person had appeared on the roof at some point, who seemed to be the princess's maid.
Before Hu Wen could react, a hair as thick as a wrist wrapped around him.
The same was true for the others; those who were more timid had already fainted from fright.
Jiang Sijin's black hair grew wildly, accurately entangling everyone present.
The county magistrate swung his sword to cut it, but unfortunately, the hair was impervious to swords and spears. His hand was almost numb from cutting, but he still couldn't do anything to it.
In the end, the county magistrate was also tied up with his hair.
The battle outside went smoothly, and by daybreak, Huo's army had already occupied Yangcheng.
Hensheng arrived, and by then, several high-ranking officials in Yangcheng had been bound like rice dumplings.
"Zhenzhen, I've already arranged for people to clean up after the battle. What do you think, should we continue the offensive or rest and regroup on the spot?"
Jiang Sijin saw that Hensheng hadn't even glanced at her, and went straight up to Su Zhenzhen to express her dissatisfaction.
"Hey, if it weren't for me, I don't know when we would have been able to get into Shanxian County. And I was the one who dealt with all these people."
Jiang Sijin pointed to Hu Wen and the others who were struggling desperately on the ground.
Hen Sheng's bright face froze for a moment before she turned and walked towards Jiang Sijin.
"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
Jiang Sijin was finally satisfied. "Alright, go and talk to your Zhenzhen. Don't forget to get rid of all these people later. Once they know about my abnormality, they can't live in this world."
"Ugh..." Hu Wen struggled desperately like a worm.
They were forced to find out.
Hensheng ripped off Hu Wen's gag, and the latter immediately burst into tears.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am a subject of the Jiang Dynasty and will always be loyal to you. Please spare my life so that I may serve you faithfully."
Hensheng had his own plan in mind. At present, there was a shortage of manpower everywhere, and if Hu Wen was used properly, he would be a very good source of labor.
"Zhenzhen, do you have any medicine that can prevent these people from having any other thoughts?"
In other words, is there any poison that can control them?
Jiang Sijin spoke first, "Leave this to me."
After saying that, Jiang Sijin prepared to feed Hu Wen and the others hair.
"Wait a minute." Su Zhenzhen quickly came over to stop her. "Your hair is highly poisonous. What if you don't control the pressure properly and poison someone to death? Let me do it."
Since learning about Jiang Sijin's past and present life, Su Zhenzhen's wariness of her has increased even further.
This little monster has an unprecedented obsession with the Jiang family dynasty. Because she has never been recognized by her biological parents, she wants to make a name for herself to prove that princesses are no less than princes.
Perhaps out of consideration for their shared Jiang bloodline, she wouldn't want to take his life.
But you never know when this guy might cause trouble at a crucial moment. For example, this time, if she hadn't gotten involved with Song Anbang, how could Hensheng have been kidnapped?
If Hu Wen and others are allowed to be controlled by her, it's hard to say whether they might become a knife used against Hensheng in the future.
Jiang Sijin had this plan in mind, which is why she took on so much responsibility. When she saw Su Zhenzhen disagreeing with her, her face darkened.
"What do you mean? Don't you believe me?"
Some things don't need to be said outright. But if the veil of pretense is torn away, Su Zhenzhen doesn't mind using her sharp tongue to roast people.
"Putting aside whether you believe it or not, in all the time we've known each other, have you ever done anything reliable? If these officials suddenly die one day, or are used and killed, I hope you can clean up the mess all by yourself."
"You!" Jiang Sijin was furious, but it was an undeniable fact.
Song Anbang is hiding somewhere, and if he suddenly appears one day and does something to these officials in Yangcheng, or instigates them to do something, then the person who controls them will become the target of his venting.
"Fine, you come on then."
Jiang Sijin stormed off in a huff.
Su Zhenzhen wasn't going to tolerate her bad habits. She directly made hand seals and cast spells, sending several talismans into Hu Wen and the others' bodies.
“I have planted a Heart-Eating Curse on you. From now on, I can sense every single thought in your hearts. I advise you to behave yourselves.”
Hu Wen immediately pledged his loyalty, saying, "This humble official will certainly follow the Crown Prince and Princess's lead."
The county magistrate seemed a little unconvinced, but Su Zhenzhen saw right through him.
"Jiang Sijin, this person is secretly calling you a monster."
Jiang Sijin, who was already seething with anger, found an outlet for her frustration. She rushed forward and began slapping the county magistrate repeatedly with her hair.
Jiang Sijin's hair was thick and black, and when it hit his body, it hurt like a leather strap. The county magistrate writhed in pain.
Hu Wen watched in fear, but dared not speak up to help.
No one who can sit in the position of a prefect of a city is a fool; knowing how to treat people differently based on their status is an essential skill.
While it may seem that the group is led by the Crown Prince, the girl dressed as a maid actually wields considerable influence.
It seems that the princess is not on their side, and there is some friction between them.
It seems that this could be used as a breakthrough to allow these officials to survive the war.
