Chapter 447: I think you're absolutely right
Over the next few days, Nimhar and his men continued their search for any clues about the princess in the outskirts of the city.
Fang Xiaoxiao then sent a message to Pei Yan via carrier pigeon, informing him to notify the prefect of Jiangnan Province to bring troops to the area.
Time passed quickly, and three days later...
Pei Yan arrived with his men.
He was dressed in a light blue robe, giving off an aura of unapproachability and appearing extremely aloof.
But the moment he saw his wife, he completely lost his previous aloofness and instead acted like a lovestruck man who had been in a long-distance relationship for many years and was finally seeing his sweetheart.
"My wife, I've finally found you. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have survived. I should never have left alone and abandoned you."
Fang Xiaoxiao looked at the once aloof and superior Young Master Pei with a slight smile.
"Come on, go do your own thing. Why bring me along as a burden? Besides, I'm perfectly fine now. I'm not missing any limbs or disfigured."
"By the way, did you bring what I asked you to bring?"
"Of course I brought it. How could I dare to delay anything my wife asked me to do? Please check if anything is missing."
Pei Yan took a medicine box from his subordinate and carefully handed it to her.
Fang Xiaoxiao opened the box, checked it over, and made sure nothing was missing before closing it and setting it aside.
The things she asked Pei Yan to bring were actually some bottles and jars left behind in Changle County. As for what they contained, it goes without saying that they were all poisons that could kill without leaving a trace and antidotes that could save lives.
Any one of these bottles could instantly kill a hundred or so burly men.
It was simply something I created out of boredom.
Just then, a blonde, blue-eyed woman with wavy hair from the Western Regions suddenly ran into the inn. A pair of baby breast pumps on her chest bounced up and down, making it painful to look at.
Even the well-informed Pei Yan couldn't help but take a curious look.
Of course, Fang Xiaoxiao was the same.
As a modern person, even though I am a woman, I also have a fondness for large pectoral muscles.
The Western Region woman's face was covered in mud, making her look extremely disheveled. She also had some basic knife wounds on her body. She was wearing a long robe, which was unique to the people of the Western Region, but it had almost become a short skirt.
The woman's name was Aruna, and she was Nimhar's personal maid, or private secretary.
"Madam Fang, quick! Help!"
Fang Xiaoxiao quickly wiped away the tears flowing from the corner of her mouth and glanced at Pei Yan, whose lips were still wet with tears.
The other person quickly turned around, pretending that nothing had happened.
Russian qing.
Following Aruna's instructions, Fang Xiao and her group walked along the western outskirts of the city.
According to Aruna, in the morning, Nimhar led his group along the eastern outskirts of the city to the western outskirts in search of the princess's whereabouts.
When they found a gemstone ring unique to the Western Regions in the haystack, Nimhar immediately recognized it as belonging to the princess and quickly ordered everyone to hurry forward.
Unexpectedly, after the group had walked about ten miles, a group of soldiers with the word "Wei" written on their chests suddenly jumped out from both sides of the road.
Upon seeing them, the soldiers attacked, and after some resistance, most of the Western Regions delegation members were seriously injured.
As for Aruna herself, she escaped under Nimhar's protection.
Fang Xiaoxiao followed the footprints to the place where Nimhar and the others had found the princess's ring.
She first looked around and found that it was a dense forest, and then looked at the layered mountain peaks in front of her, and had a general idea in mind.
According to what Li Cui had said before, their group had long been under Zhong Zicheng's surveillance, and every move they made was being watched by him. This meant that there was a traitor within the delegation.
As for who the traitor was, she already had the answer.
Since you want to play the double agent game, then I'll play along.
Having made up her mind, she stood up and looked at Pei Yan with surprise.
"Oh, Pei Yan, what should we do now? Where should we go to rescue them?"
Faced with the sudden change in personality, Pei Yan, who was completely bewildered, reached up to touch his chin and raised an eyebrow.
"Well... maybe we can only proceed along the route where they were captured."
"Okay, very good, you're absolutely right, let's do it your way!"
Fang Xiaoxiao stood with her hands behind her back, blinking her eyes, looking slightly cute.
It was quite sudden.
Seeing his wife's sudden change in expression, Pei Yan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Is the person in front of me still Fang Xiaoxiao? Is she still the Fang Xiaoxiao who orchestrated the near annihilation of an army of 300,000?
However, he quickly found the answer in Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Fang Xiaoxiao winked at him and then pouted, as if to say to watch out for the person next to her.
After understanding the micro-expressions, Pei Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and cooperated with the performance.
"Let's go. Everyone, be careful along the way. If you notice anything unusual, don't act rashly. Just stay put and be vigilant."
"It's the young master!"
And so, the group of about twenty people moved forward along the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, Aruna was at the front of the group, her face filled with worry, and she kept muttering about what to do, whether their princess and Lord Nimhar would survive.
However, Pei Yan and Fang Xiaoxiao considered such exaggerated and pretentious acting a joke.
But instead of exposing it, everyone actively cooperated.
Fang Xiaoxiao walked up to Aruna with small, quick steps, looking very confident.
"Don't be afraid. With so many of us here, your princess and Lord Nimhar will definitely be alright. Even if something does happen, we'll be there to collect their bodies and avenge them!"
!!!
If you're not good at comforting people, I suggest you don't try to comfort them at all.
What kind of kind person would comfort someone like that?
Aruna was inwardly furious, her face etched with sadness.
"Waaah, Madam Fang is right. It seems that the princess and Lord Nimhar have already met with misfortune. Why don't we go back? I don't want to drag everyone down with me."
"~~~"
At that moment, Fang Xiaoxiao seemed to see the words "green tea" (a derogatory term for a woman who is overly scheming or manipulative) floating overhead.
This foreigner from the Western Regions had mastered the art of tea conversation to an unparalleled degree.
You know, she wouldn't dare to do that, mainly because she was afraid that she would lose all her friends if she did.
Li Wan'er is a very kind-hearted girl, and she has always been very straightforward in her speech.
She walked slowly to Aruna and comforted her.
“Miss Aruna, I think you are right. So much time has passed, I’m afraid your Lord Nimhar has indeed met with misfortune.”
As for your princess, even if she hadn't suffered any misfortune, she was no longer a virgin.
"If they still want to form a marriage alliance with my Great Yu Dynasty, it's definitely impossible, and it might even trigger a war."
"Since you've said we should go back, then let's go back!"
"???"
Aruna nearly coughed up blood when she heard what the cute and innocent-looking Li Wan'er said.
She paused for half a second, her eyes twitching involuntarily, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes.
Li Wan'er was completely unaware and prepared to continue comforting the foreign woman.
In her opinion, since things had already come to this point, there was no need to take any more risks; it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
The road ahead is difficult, not to mention the danger if we encounter it, it's not worth it. This is the life philosophy she learned from Fang Xiaoxiao.
