Chapter 225 The Princess is Hidden
Guard Feng looked at the Princess of Qi's nimble skills and began to doubt his own eyes.
No, didn't His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi always brag to them about how gentle, virtuous, dignified, and polite his wife was? His own wife and children always sighed at home, thinking that the beautiful princess was a waste of the prince of Qi, who lacked great virtue. But what was going on now?
Is the woman who stabbed the other person in the stomach with a gun really the usually gentle and dignified Princess Qi?
He suddenly had a strange feeling that he might have discovered the little secret of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. No wonder the Prince of Qi always twisted his waist and ankle from time to time. Could it be that he was beaten by his wife at home because of his carelessness?
My dear mother!
Isn't the princess hiding this too deeply?
As they brandished their swords, their minds wandered. Once the children, draped in red and colorful ribbons, had entered the city, Jiang Wan and the others abandoned the fight and unleashed a powerful wave of attacks with all their might before sprinting off.
The tall city gate was quickly closed after all the people returned, and the people surrounding the city could only retreat temporarily with hatred.
In the Prince of Qi's palace.
After calling in the doctors to treat the injured, Jiang Wan sat in the main hall with several important officials in the city, listening to Miao Yue's sorrowful account of the whole incident.
"I've known that despicable Luo Yong for many years. My father helped him become the young patriarch, both openly and secretly.
Who knew he could turn around and bite us!
The reason they attacked my tribe this time was simply because my father refused to cooperate with them in stealing your salt-making method."
Thinking of her father's tragic death, Miao Yue couldn't stop crying.
"My father told him the truth. We have no chance of stealing your snowflake salt recipe. Even if we could steal it, we wouldn't betray our allies and do such a despicable thing that would be reviled by everyone.
When he left that day, he seemed quite easy to talk to, but who would have thought that today he would turn around and lead Lin Yue’s men to attack us! My father, my father died so tragically! Wuuwuwu, Jiang Wan, I don’t have a father anymore! "
Miao Yue was lying on the table, sobbing uncontrollably. Jiang Wan walked over and sat beside her, patting her back gently to comfort her. She turned around and rushed into her arms, crying her heart out.
"Miao Yue, I know you're sad, but now's not the time to just cry! Your father's death is still waiting for you to avenge him, and your people are still waiting for you to lead them back to their homeland!"
"I, I know. Just let me cry a little longer, just a little longer..."
This girl bravely led her people to fight the enemies to the death. She never shed a tear even when her sword was bent. However, in front of her good friend who made her feel at ease, she allowed herself to be weak for a while, just for a moment.
After swallowing his tears with all his strength and calming himself down, the Miao chief sat up straight again, with only deep hatred in his eyes!
In this life, she and her Liao people will never stop fighting!
After comforting the person, Jiang Wan returned to his seat and looked at the adults sitting on his left and right.
"Master Feng, the number of pursuers outside the city just now was not small. Did you miscalculate?"
Shoubei Feng coughed a little awkwardly.
"Well, it was indeed a miscalculation on my part. I originally thought that this time, just like in the past, Linyue would only send a few people out for show, but who knew that this time there would be quite a few?"
Mo Shaobai, who was sitting next to him, nodded when he heard this.
"Your Highness, the one who brought the men here this time is Mu Jingchuan, the second son of Prince Feng of Linyue. I once saw him on the battlefield with the prince. Oh, the man you shot through with your spear."
The other people who were not at the scene to watch suddenly widened their eyes and looked at the Princess of Qi who was still dignified and amiable.
“Cough cough cough!”
Liu Yitong, who knew that the Princess of Qi was a tough girl, recalled the correspondence he had with his old friend some time ago and the entrustment Qin Zhenning had expressed between the lines. He could only cough a few times to help out.
"Your Highness, you have worked so hard. Even while pregnant, you have still dedicated yourself to guarding the border for the imperial court. I truly have to admire you! You have truly worked so hard!"
"Well, it's been hard work, Princess."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work..."
Jiang Wan looked at the people who said one thing but meant another, but he didn't take it to heart and just waved his hand calmly.
"Did you all hear what the Miao leader just said? This time those people are coming for our snowflake salt. What do you think we should do?"
Deng Tongzhi spoke first.
"Your Highness, as far as I know, Linyue is close to the sea, and there's no shortage of salt in the territory. Although the quality is certainly not as good as our snowflake salt, there's really no reason for them to make such a fuss. Is there something fishy going on here?"
Magistrate Wan stroked his beard, also with a thoughtful look on his face.
“I am also baffled by this.
Princess, you don’t know that I have been staying in Dongling Mansion all these years. When I was young, I once met Prince Feng of Linyue.
The prince was not a warlike person. In fact, he was very friendly and particularly enjoyed doing business with others.
Now they want to start a war with us for no reason, and knowing how brave and skilled our Prince Qi is, this really doesn't make sense, does it?"
"Isn't it?"
Shoubei Feng touched his head, confused.
"I've dealt with Liao people before, and they weren't as aggressive as they are this time. What's going on?"
Mo Shaobai and Wang Yun sat there in silence. They were not good at this kind of thing and there was no need to interrupt.
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and turned to look at Miao Yue.
"Has it always been Luo Yong you've been dealing with? Have you heard about any changes in Linyue?"
Miao Yue nodded, frowning and thinking hard.
"Yes, Luo Yong proposed to me a few years ago, but I rejected him outright.
I don’t know what happened in Linyue.
But I seem to have heard Luo Yong say before that the person he followed was the Prince of Feng, not the current Prince of Feng's second son!"
All the smart people present felt that they had figured it out in an instant.
Wang Yun asked the brothers around him.
"Brother Shaobai, why do I remember that these two brothers don't seem to be born from the same mother?"
"right!"
Mo Shaobai nodded and reported the news to the princess.
"Mu Jingzhou is the original wife's legitimate son, and Mu Jingchuan is the second wife's legitimate son. However, when we saw the second young master leading the troops on the battlefield, I think he should be more favored."
Jiang Wan nodded upon hearing this.
"No matter what they intend to do, it's true that they are currently hostile to us. I just severely injured that Mu guy outside the city, so they shouldn't cause trouble again anytime soon.
Everyone, cheer up! What we need to do now is to guard the city gates. This princess has sent someone to deliver a letter to the prince. After the army returns, we will have a good talk with Linyue!"
"Your Majesty, I obey your command!"
So it’s good for the mistress of the house to be able to take on responsibilities and stabilize people’s hearts at critical moments.
