Chapter 163 It's clear that the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion are working together to kill them all
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaohan immediately coaxed the little princess softly, "How about Princess and I play another game of chess to kill time?"
Su Wanyan thought about it and nodded, "Okay, come on."
In ancient times, there were very few activities to pass the time, and the activities they could do in the limited space of the carriage were even more limited.
Su Wanyan's chess skills were too poor. She was no match for a chess master like Prince Xiao. However, Ji Xiaohan played very seriously with the little princess, and did not forget to instruct her on how to intercept him. By the fifth game, Su Wanyan was able to barely win a game, although it was ruled out that Prince Xiao did it on purpose to please his wife.
"Hehe! I won, give it to me!" Su Wanyan was not stupid. She could naturally see that with her chess skills, the probability of beating Ji Xiaohan was basically zero, but since Prince Xiao was trying to make her happy, she had the right to ask for the reward.
Ji Xiaohan smiled and took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to the little princess, "Okay."
The little princess became more and more relaxed in front of him, and many of her little hobbies were gradually exposed, such as her love of money.
Fortunately, over the years, his private businesses have grown. Otherwise, after supporting the army and confiscating his property, there wouldn't be much left.
"Then I won't be polite, thank you!" Su Wanyan took the money without hesitation. If someone is willing to coax you, why not accept it.
She now needs to maintain a good relationship with Ji Xiaohan so that the divorce negotiations can go more smoothly.
As Su Wanyan's chess skills gradually improved, the sound of rain outside quietly became quieter. When they walked to the next town, the sun was setting and a gorgeous rainbow hung in the sky, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
After being washed by the rain, the air is fresh and refreshing, as if all the unrest and worries have been washed away.
But the people in their exile team destroyed this beautiful scene. Shu Mingyuan was afraid of another accident on the road, so he didn't dare to let the team stop to take shelter from the heavy rain just now. Therefore, when they entered the town, except for the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion, everyone else was in a mess.
Shu Mingyuan's clothes were also sticky. As he led the exile team all the way to the county government office, the people on the road looked at them with curiosity and disgust.
"Boss, this mission is so fucking frustrating!" The subordinates stared at the passers-by and complained to Shu Mingyuan in a low voice.
Shu Mingyuan glared at his men and lowered his voice, "Alright, shut up, everyone. This mission may be dangerous, but if we do it well, won't it be enough for you to receive a reward when you return?"
The subordinates suppressed their smiles and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the benefits that would come later, which of us brothers would be willing to work so hard?"
Even if they didn't know the reason at first, after witnessing a series of horrifying scenes such as the dam collapse, the assassins' siege, and Princess Xiao's domineering fight, they understood, no matter how stupid they were, that it was not the Imperial City that was hunting down the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion, but it was clearly the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion who were working together to kill them all!
The boss said to go back and claim the reward, but I’m afraid he doesn’t mean the reward from the imperial city, right?
It has to be said that small people also have their own cleverness. Although they cannot understand the real purpose of Prince Xiao's Mansion's actions, sometimes the choices they make instinctively in order to save their lives often allow them to live longer than those who are loyal to the people behind the scenes.
