Chapter 321 Departure to Lingfan Kingdom
Chapter 321 Departure to Lingfan Kingdom
On the second day after the full moon, Ji Xingle, the third princess, and Minister of Rites Fang Tingting set off for Lingfan State with a hundred guards.
The wind was very cold along the way, but fortunately we had plenty of food now, so although the weather was bad, we were not starving.
In the past ten days or so, they picked up several injured men on the road, which made Ji Xingle's conspiracy theory rise.
Ji Xingle told them to try not to pick up people, and if they did, they should just send them to the clinic and not take them on the road.
The Minister of Rites knew that Ji Xingle was powerful, but she didn't think anything would happen if she picked up a few men, so she just responded to Ji Xingle casually.
That day, the kind-hearted Minister of Rites found two men shivering in thin clothes on the road.
There was a lot of clamor, and the Third Princess asked what had been found outside. The guards told the Minister that the Minister had found someone again.
Seeing that nothing happened during the previous attempts to pick up people, the Third Princess did not say much, but just instructed not to delay too long.
Ji Xingle lifted the curtain and took a look around, frowned, uncertain, and walked out of the carriage to look around.
Seeing this, the third princess inquired;
"Xingle, is there something wrong?"
"Where are we now?"
Li Danqiu took a look at the map and said;
"We have reached the border between the two countries."
Hearing this, Ji Xingle said to the Minister of Rites;
"Master Fang, leave these two alone..."
Fang Tingting, who was still feeling distressed because of the handsome man's suffering, felt a little bit sorry when she heard Ji Xingle say this.
So he told Ji Xingle about the previous incidents and said that she was making a fuss.
Seeing this, Ji Xingle repeated one sentence;
"It's out in the wilderness here, if there really is a handsome guy picking someone up, how could it be your turn?
Don't forget what we are going to do. You can't afford to waste time."
The two handsome men, seeing Ji Xingle being so inhumane, looked at her with tears in their eyes and said in a teasing tone;
"Lady, please save us! If it weren't for our survival, we wouldn't dare to take risks in such a place!
Besides, we won’t delay you, just let us follow you, as long as we leave here.”
Seeing that Ji Xingle was unmoved, she looked at Fang Tingting again, delicately wanting to say something but stopping herself;
"Sister Fang... forget it, just go! Let my brother and I freeze to death here, or get captured by the bad guys!
Anyway, we men are born like straw sandals, not cherished.
You don’t need to create a rift between us brothers…”
Fang Tingting felt heartbroken when she saw the beauty crying, and she glanced at Ji Xingle cautiously;
“Master Ji, how about this… since we rescued a few people earlier, it’s okay, so let’s send them to a place where people live this time?
It's really unsafe to leave them here in the wilderness.
And we’re doing good things, so maybe it’ll be okay this time too?”
Ji Xingle glanced at Fang Tingting, and seeing that she was bewildered, he waved his hand;
"Use at your own risk."
After saying this, he walked back into the carriage without waiting for them to thank him.
The Third Princess approached Ji Xingle with great interest and said;
"Will there be trouble later?"
Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, and raised the corners of his mouth;
"Very clever!"
Hearing this, the Third Princess smiled triumphantly;
"Of course, our partnership over the years wasn't in vain..."
Ji Xingle curled the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the book and continued reading without saying anything else.
Li Danqiu rolled his eyes at the side;
"Can you two be a little respectful of what's about to happen?"
"Ok?"
The Third Princess and Ji Xingle looked up and asked.
"Didn't you say there was trouble? We don't need to make a plan?"
The Third Princess also recovered and looked at Ji Xing happily.
"Yeah? No need for layout?"
"Well, go and tell them to be careful."
The third princess's mouth twitched. Li Danqiu didn't react much to Ji Xingle's behavior, so he relaxed when he went out to make arrangements.
Sure enough, this time, after picking up the person, they had not walked far before they were surrounded by a group of people dressed as ordinary people who had been planning this for a long time. They would not let them leave on the grounds that they were trafficking good men and women.
Seeing this, the Third Princess and Li Danqiu looked at Ji Xingle with admiration and silently gave him a thumbs up.
"Great!"
Ji Xingle slowly turned the next page of the book and said slowly;
"Sister Qiu, let Fang Tingting handle this matter, you just watch from the side."
"Good~"
After Li Danqiu left, the Third Princess smiled at Ji Xingle and said;
"Very sinister..."
Ji Xingle; “…” I am really speechless.
Outside, someone muttered to release the person and pay compensation...
Fang Tingting was terrified when she saw this scene. She usually only debated with scholars in the court, and this was the first time she had seen a country woman...
When Fang Tingting saw Li Danqiu coming, she breathed a sigh of relief. With her around, she was nothing to be afraid of.
After waiting for a long time and not hearing her speak, Fang Tingting couldn't help but ask;
"Master Li, why don't you speak?"
Li Danqiu scratched his ears, then crossed his arms and said calmly;
"Master Ji said that you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
Hearing this, Fang Tingting instantly became sad;
"This...this...I...I don't know how to do it!"
“Master Ji said that since you dare to pick up people casually, you must have the ability to deal with emergencies.”
Fang Tingting; "......" Want to cry.
There was no other way. Fang Tingting could only pretend to be calm and communicate with them using her literary and elegant language, telling them the whole situation.
However, these fake people kept harping on the topic of them abducting and trafficking good husbands and men, and even said they would take them to the authorities to sue.
Seeing that it was useless, Fang Tingting asked the two men to testify, but they kept silent and just sat in the carriage crying and wiping their tears.
Fang Tingting was extremely anxious;
"What's wrong with you? I'm obviously saving you, why are you so embarrassed to say that?"
The last two men seemed to be anxiously asked and cried;
"Don't force us. We are two weak men and we are already in your car. What else do you want us to say?"
As soon as the words fell, Fang Tingting was dumbfounded, Li Danqiu's mouth corners rose, and the followers beside him widened their eyes...
After some probing, the fake commoner saw that Fang Tingting was angry but dared not speak, and thought that the other people were as weak as her. He was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly took out the knife from his waist and chopped at Fang Tingting.
Fang Tingting was so scared that she couldn't run anymore. Seeing that the knife was about to hit her, Li Danqiu immediately pulled Fang Tingting away to avoid it.
Then, Fang Tingting, who was frightened, joined the battle.
There are about a hundred people on the opposing side and about a hundred people on the affirmative side, and they seem to be evenly matched in terms of numbers.
At some point, Ji Xingle was already sitting on top of the carriage watching them fight.
Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows as he watched them fighting. Just then, a fake civilian saw Ji Xingle on the carriage and thought she was a weakling, so he climbed up the carriage.
The Third Princess, who had just noticed something was wrong, came out and kicked him away.
The fake people thought it was a coincidence and were ready to meet him fearlessly.
As a result, Ji Xingle lifted him up like a chicken;
"Where are you from?"
Not only did the fake commoner say anything, he even pouted at Ji Xingle.
Ji Xingle dodged quickly, but Fang Tingting, who ran over to hug his thigh, failed to dodge, and a mouthful of thick phlegm just happened to stick to her clothes...
Ji Xingle; "Eh..." ((((;?Д?)))))))
The third princess; "Eh..." ((((;?Д?)))))))
Fang Tingting's eyes were red with anger and she said in shame, "How disgraceful, how disgraceful!"
