Chapter 99 Do You Think You Are a Half-Immortal?
"No, no." Jiujiu crossed her arms over her chest and said proudly, "If you don't bring Thirteenth Brother with you, Jiujiu won't go either."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhaoning became anxious, "That won't do! Jiujiu must go."
"Then will Father take Brother Thirteen with him?"
Emperor Zhaoning seemed to have no other choice but to say lovingly, "Then take him along. However, the Crown Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince, all of you should go together."
In this way, even if someone wants to write an article, he cannot do it.
"Okay, okay." Jiujiu said, "Jiujiu hasn't seen Brother Crown Prince for a long time. I miss him very much."
After gathering everyone, the group left the palace and headed for Yulin County under the protection of the Imperial Guards and the Royal Secret Guards.
Jiujiu and Emperor Zhaoning were sitting in the carriage, while the Crown Prince, the Tenth Prince, the Eleventh Prince, the Thirteenth Prince and others were riding horses outside.
Outside the palace, the sky is high and the sea is vast, and the air is filled with the scent of freedom.
After the Thirteenth Prince put down the book and came out, his complexion looked much better and he was not as depressed anymore.
Sometimes he chatted with his brothers, and sometimes he held a bow and arrow and aimed at wild rabbits on the road.
There is so much game in this countryside and forest.
Jiujiu lay by the carriage window, looking at the youthful and energetic Thirteenth Brother outside, and felt happy too.
The decision to bring Thirteenth Brother out was the right one.
"Brother Thirteen!" Jiujiu called out.
The thirteenth prince pulled the bow and said with a smile: "Sister, just watch while I shoot a pheasant for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a whoosh, the arrow on the bow of the Thirteenth Prince shot out.
But what he shot seemed to be a mandarin duck in the lake, not a chicken.
But the Thirteenth Prince said happily: "Jiujiu, look, Brother Thirteen shot the chicken. Someone, go get it."
Jiujiu: “…”
"There's a white thing in the grass over there. It's a duck. I want to shoot it."
The Thirteenth Prince was very excited.
Jiujiu: "It looks like a white chicken, not a duck."
Emperor Zhaoning followed Jiujiu and watched the movements outside. The more he watched, the more upset he became.
What happened to Old Thirteen? He didn’t recognize the mandarin duck? He didn’t recognize the chicken either?

Qiaoshu County is now deserted, with no one left.
After Emperor Zhaoning issued the imperial edict, the county magistrate personally took up a knife and forced the people to move out.
Although the means were a bit harsh, fortunately all the people had moved away and no one was left behind.
There is only one second prince.
He faced the challenge and settled down in Qiaoshu County.
The county magistrate came in person to invite him, but was unsuccessful.
The county magistrate did not dare to use force against him and could only let him do as he pleased while asking for permission on what to do.
The second prince also heard at this moment that the people who moved to Yulin County had been making trouble.
He was wearing a thick cloak, sitting beside the brazier, warming himself by the fire. The firelight shone on his face, making the ridicule and mockery on his expression particularly obvious.
He said to the guards, "I told you, there won't be any big snowstorm. You can't trust what that little bitch Feng Jiujiu said."
"If Father rashly moves all the people in a county away, it will only cause dissatisfaction among the people and then cause trouble."
"If we are not careful, it is possible to cause civil unrest."
The guard agreed, "Your Highness is right. Sooner or later, the Emperor will regret listening to the little princess."
"I just can't understand why father dotes on her so much, she's just a little girl. He dotes on her too much. He listens to everything she says."
"When something goes wrong, he will regret it, haha."
The second prince shook his head as he spoke.
The guard said, "Your Highness, if we can prove with our own bodies that there is no snow disaster in Qiaoshu County this time, the emperor will certainly look at you differently and think that you are courageous and domineering enough, and it is worthwhile for you to put down the important things at hand and guard here."
The second prince nodded in agreement, imagining a bright future. He did not notice that snow had begun to fall outside.
He said, "There will definitely be many rewards when we return."
After a pause, "In the future, when it comes to important tasks, Father will not only think of the Crown Prince instead of me. Maybe, for the position of Crown Prince, Father will consider someone else, like me."
He came to Western Chu just for the position of crown prince.
The guard said, "It will definitely happen. Your Highness will definitely win the Holy Heart and fulfill your wish."
The second prince felt quite comforted when he heard this. He smiled and looked towards the window illuminated by candlelight.
"It looks like it's snowing outside."
"Yes, I got off."
The Second Prince: "I don't think it's a heavy snowfall. It will stop overnight, and there won't be any snowstorms. Let's all go to sleep, and when we wake up we can enjoy the snow and make tea around the stove."
"good."
Everyone in the group was looking forward to tomorrow.

As soon as Emperor Zhaoning arrived in Yulin County, he met the county magistrate of Qiaoshu County who came to report that the second prince had taken his people to live in Qiaoshu County and refused to evacuate with the common people.
[This fake prince is so dramatic. ]
[Do you want to freeze to death? ]
Jiujiu was speechless.
Emperor Zhaoning listened to Jiujiu's thoughts with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you really not care about the Second Prince?"
After all, he is a prince, and the county magistrate dare not ignore it. He has to mention it at least. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, he will be finished.
"First, settle the people."
Emperor Zhaoning really didn't want to bother with this guy who was causing him trouble, especially since he was a fake prince.
Although there is no evidence to prove his identity as a fake prince.
But the information revealed in Jiujiu's heart could not be wrong. Moreover, if you look closely, the second prince looks a little different from the people of Western Chu. His bone structure looks more like that of a southerner.
If he could be dealt with directly this time by taking advantage of the snowstorm, he wouldn't have to put in any effort.
A potential danger to Western Chu was eliminated.
The county magistrate had no idea of Emperor Zhaoning's plans. He just assumed that Emperor Zhaoning hated the Second Prince for ignoring the imperial edict and running to Qiaoshu County, so he ignored him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and continue to resettle the people."
It's already dark.
However, the people are still making trouble.
The county magistrate hadn't slept much in the past few days, and he tried his best to resettle the people every day.
The people were very dissatisfied and kept making a fuss.
"Oh my god, these officials are so arrogant that they can just move people away if they want them to."
"Are you trying to kill us all?"
"They didn't care about our wishes at all and suddenly moved us here. We have no place to live and no place to sleep. We can only suffer from the cold. Do they treat us as prisoners?"
"That's right. With so many people guarding us with knives, what's the difference between that and guarding prisoners? We didn't kill anyone or set any fire."
The magistrates of Qiaoshu County and Yulin County both came out to persuade them.
"Fellow villagers, we brought you here to avoid the heavy snowstorm and save your lives."
"We have people guarding you because we're worried that someone might run back. If someone runs back and encounters a heavy snowstorm, they'll definitely die!"
The hot-blooded young man said without scruples: "Bullshit, there is no such thing as a big snowstorm? Can you predict it in advance? Do you think you are a half-god?"
"this……"
"My fellow villagers and I have lived in Qiaoshu County for decades, but we have never seen any severe snowstorms."
"There won't be a big snowstorm here, let us go back?"
