Shang Beiyu originally intended to hand the magpie over to Xiao Jianzi, but after looking at Xiao Jianzi's familiar face, he suddenly changed his mind again: "A bunch of useless things, seeing you running around the world like headless flies, I'll lend you a hand."
As he spoke, he tossed the magpie into the pile of weeds in the dilapidated temple.
Little Cocoon glanced at the magpie and saw that it was an unfamiliar, rough-faced man. She was immediately confused: Wasn't the plan to kill the Ninth Prince? Why did Your Majesty bring a rough man here?
Judging from this man's appearance, he doesn't seem to be related to the Ninth Prince at all;
Could it be that he's being used to lure the Ninth Prince?
It seems that even the Ninth Prince isn't into that kind of thing!
Seeing Xiao Jianzi staring at Xi Que with his eyes darting around, Shang Beiyu reached out and slapped him on the back of the head, then kicked him in the butt, saying, "Go and remove the fake mask from her face, and find her a set of women's clothes to change into."
"Huh? Oh!" Little Cocoon was still a little confused until the fake mask on the magpie's face was removed, then he exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Magpie?"
At the same time, it dawned on me:
It turns out that the Ninth Prince's wife also left the capital with the Ninth Prince. No wonder His Majesty came.
He said that in the past, when superiors assigned tasks, when had they ever condescended to personally attend and "lend a hand"?
"Go and find out who has people around here. Whoever has the most people and the strongest strength, you can hand her over to them," Shang Beiyu said calmly, her voice light and pleasant.
Little Cocoon was stunned again: "But Your Majesty, Miss Magpie is the person the Ninth Prince's Consort values most. Wouldn't doing this......"
Shang Beiyu smiled and said lightly, as if reciting a tongue twister: "The person you care about most will be the most nervous, and the more nervous you are, the more it will hurt. Only when you have suffered enough will you give up, and only when you die will you be reborn."
Little Cocoon: "..."
How profound! He truly doesn't understand His Majesty's world.
Xiao Jianzi sent people to explore the surrounding area and even Fengxiang City, and found that Fengxiang City was indeed a place where people gathered; almost all the people sent by the major forces in Kyoto had left their troops in Fengxiang City.
Among them, the largest and strongest force belonged to the Crown Prince's men.
Secondly, there's Chen Shiyu and his men.
"Your Majesty, the Chen family has the greatest enmity with the Ninth Prince. Why don't we give Miss Xique to Chen Shiyu?" Xiao Jianzi suggested anxiously.
Shang Beiyu glanced at Xiao Jianzi with extreme displeasure: "Do you think that I value Chen Shiyu, that little toy, too much?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I will send Miss Magpie to the Crown Prince's men immediately." Little Cocoon trembled with fear and dared not say another word.
Shang Beiyu nodded, then said coolly from behind Xiao Jianzi, "Don't forget to tell them that a dead man can't control the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess. On the contrary, it might anger them and provoke a crazy revenge."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Little Cocoon replied respectfully.
Only then did he understand why the Venerable One did not allow him to give the magpie to Chen Shiyu: it was because the Chen family and the Ninth Prince's Mansion had too deep a grudge, and he was afraid that if the magpie were handed over to Chen Shiyu, Chen Shiyu would kill it directly!
While the prince's men were the most ruthless, they were at least somewhat intelligent.
Although the magpie would most likely suffer no good fate if it fell into their hands, they would probably spare its life before attracting the Nine Kings.
The Crown Prince's men were staying at a small manor outside Fengxiang City.
There were about forty people, all of them burly, ruthless men who would kill without blinking an eye.
