Chapter 378 Hanging on the City Wall
She walked along, joking with the people around her.
Shan Xingyan saw that figure from afar. She had changed a lot. She used to have a gentle temperament.
But today is different, just like the female general recorded in the books, a sharp sword unsheathed.
I think the passing of the two members of the He family must have had a great impact on Ning'er.
When he saw her again, his heart still beat fast, but he was more mature and could hide his emotions.
He smiled and bowed, "I am honored to meet you, General. You look so majestic in this armor."
Hearing this, Xia Yining smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, “Tsk~~~ I didn’t expect you to be such a single general, and you actually praised me.
It won't be long before I can attend your wedding banquet, right?"
This made Shan Xingyan couldn't help laughing out loud. How could he not hear that he was being teased? It was like someone was saying that he was too wooden before.
"Thanks to your good words, Xingyan will work hard."
The two of them chatted back and forth as if nothing had happened, and it wasn't awkward at all.
"When will General Xia plan to attack Dongli? How many troops will he send?"
"Three days later..."
The Dongli women who had suffered so much injustice in the military camp burst into tears the first time they saw Xia Yining.
[Wuwuwuwuwuwu~~ As expected, I am guilty, and the eldest princess will punish me personally. 】
[We would rather die than let those stinky men torture us. ]
[Princess, please spare us. As maids by your master's side, we are only following your orders.]
[Yes, no one dares to resist the master's orders.]
[What's more, Madam He's death has nothing to do with us. It was all done by the princess alone.]
Please, spare us poor people.
The craziest one among them was Princess Dongli Zhi Linglan, who was as dirty as a street beggar.
【Hahahaha~~~I am a princess, who dares to touch me.】
[Hehehe... Let the emperor chop off your heads, you lowly people. ]
[Don’t call me a bitch, bitch, bitch. ]
After three days in the army, he was driven crazy by the scolding of the soldiers. He just scolded with his mouth and did nothing else.
Xia Yining hated her, and she would use the toughest means to defeat Dongli, but not to humiliate them with despicable means.
Zhi Linglan's current state was entirely due to her own poor psychological endurance, and she was frightened by the soldiers in the barracks.
The calmest person among them was the Dongli Saintess Zhi Guci. She was the most intelligent person here and never shouted along the way.
He looked at the princess who was screaming beside him with some disgust.
"How will General Xia deal with us? Will he let us women march in front to block the arrows when the troops are dispatched?"
"Hmm? That's a good idea, but I don't think so.
Why not hang you on the border wall and see if Dongli will send someone to rescue you?"
"Haha... General Xia is joking. The Saint Maiden claims to be powerful to the outside world, but in Dongli she is just a position.
Even without me, there are other saints who can take my place.
Believe it or not, no one will send troops to rescue us, and some may even wish us to die quickly."
"Really? This general doesn't believe it, so let's start with Princess Dongli and her maidservant.
Come on, hang them all on the city gate and wait for Dongli to come and rescue them."
Behind her were the voices of various women begging for mercy, but Zhi Linglan was the only one smiling foolishly.
Shouted loudly: "Go home, go home, hehehe..."
The princess is going home now. You useless things can’t do anything to me.
They are all untouchables and idiots, hahahaha..."
The soldiers were too lazy to bother with a fool, so they just used more force when they tied the man up.
You will feel pain when you are first tied up, but after a while your hands will turn pale, and over time they will become useless.
Originally, Zhi Linglan didn't need to be hung on the city gate like this, but unfortunately she had a bad mouth and the soldiers didn't want her to be too comfortable.
After these screaming and howling people were dragged away, Xia Yining did not even look back.
Ran Zhiguci looked at her back with mixed emotions. She thought just now...
I thought General Xia would let her hang the city gate, but I didn't expect to choose the princess.
I couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, I didn't provoke the people around her, otherwise I would be the one who died today.
A feeling of sadness rose in my heart. I felt that I was so stupid and shouldn't have worked for Dongli.
Things turned out just as she expected. Dongli didn't take the princess seriously at all. She was not his son, so if she died, she died.
They sent the message back as soon as they saw it. Emperor Dongli was silent for a long time and finally gave the order.
When night fell, many arrows suddenly flew out from the city gate.
When the soldiers saw this, they immediately pulled the person hanging on the city gate, but they could not prevent Dongli from wanting to kill people.
Zhi Linglan was briefly sober at this moment, and looking at the familiar arrow so close to her, she smiled bitterly.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment of her life, the person who saved her was Nan Xu.
She was really stupid. She should have believed what the saint said, that girls are not valued at any time.
Except when it is beneficial to the country when marriage is needed, one can survive for a few more decades.
She remembered that when she was very young, her mother told her that decades ago, the emperor of Dongli was actually a woman.
It’s a pity that the empress died at a young age. My current father is her husband at that time, who ascended to the throne single-handedly.
This completely changed the situation where women were in charge of Dongli.
Before she died, she thought, how could the empress, who was so powerful, die suddenly? Was she killed by the current emperor?
She tried her best to shout, "It was the Emperor who killed the Empress. His throne is not legitimate. Hahahahaha..."
When the people of Dongli heard this, they felt nervous, and after seeing the person was dead, they hurried back to report.
The three people at the city gate naturally heard these words clearly.
Xia Yining: "Send someone to investigate what happened, and focus on whether the empress left any bloodline.
If so, it would be interesting.”
After receiving the report, Emperor Dongli was shocked. He didn't expect that so many years had passed.
There are still people who doubt it.
What scared him the most was that these words were spoken by his own blood, and if others knew about it, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
He walked around the imperial study several times, secretly hating that useless thing for causing him trouble before his death.
He immediately ordered people to go to the harem and kill Zhi Linglan's mother.
His thought was very simple. The princess was simple-minded and knew nothing.
Someone must have said something in front of her, and the child would only remember it. The only people who remembered it were her mother and the servants around her.
Unfortunately, the people in the palace were one step too late.
As early as when her daughter went to Nanxu, Zhi Linglan's mother had a premonition that something would happen, and she kept sending things out of the palace during this period.
As soon as she got the news, she ran out of the palace with her son.
She lifted the curtain and looked towards the direction of the palace, then smiled coldly and waited a little longer.
