Chapter 1077 - 1068: Mistake
Zhao Xu could marry Princess Jing Mountain, then he would have an eighty percent chance of overthrowing the Nanliang Court.This favor, Xie Jingchen could not refuse to help.
Moreover, even if Princess Jing Mountain were not Princess Beimo, just an ordinary woman, she was still the girl Zhao Xu admired, the beloved of his cousin, and it was only right for Xie Jingchen as an elder cousin to help propose. Furthermore, Zhao Xu and Princess Jing Mountain coming together was orchestrated by Xie Jingchen.
However, their abilities were so great that they forcibly transformed a political scheme into a marriage alliance.
Xie Jingchen spent one day at the Zhao Family. This day was no different than being in the military camp; General Shi and Prime Minister Zhao discussed military affairs, while Xie Jingchen watched on.
After all, Xie Jingchen was not a Nanliang person, unfamiliar with Nanliang’s geography and character of the various city guards. Knowing oneself and the enemy leads to invincibility, so he refrained from giving his opinions.
However, General Shi valued him greatly and asked him several times, so Xie Jingchen casually spoke a few words.
On this day, Xie Jingchen dined with Prime Minister Zhao’s family.
However, Miss Zhao was not present as she fell into the water and caught a cold, unable to leave the house.
Prime Minister Zhao and Madam were very grateful to Xie Jingchen, and needless to say.
The next day, Xie Jingchen departed for the border.
Zhao Xu and Dong Chenglang escorted him for ten miles.
"After this farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again," Zhao Xu said sadly.
Xie Jingchen patted his shoulder and said, "When you succeed, I will personally come to Nanliang to congratulate you."
"At that time, maybe even Mother Princely Consort will come."
Princess Consort Donglin would be the happiest to clear the injustice,
After leaving Nanliang’s homeland for more than ten years, the Princess Consort would surely want to return to pay respects to the ancestors.
The Prince has treated the Princess Consort too poorly, such a small request, the Prince would not refuse.
Zhao Xu nodded.
This day of reunion will not be too long.
Xie Jingchen looked at Dong Chenglang, patted his shoulder, and said, "It’s not just me; Prince NanAn also regards you as a brother."
Dong Chenglang, "...."
Prince NanAn?
That Prince NanAn who nearly used a branding iron to force his confession?
Could he say that after that day, he had nightmares for several nights?
All of them were in his nightmares.
But since Xie Jingchen said so, and Prince NanAn is Zhao Xu’s brother.
This brotherhood, whether he acknowledges it or not, is still his brotherhood.
Dong Chenglang, "...."
"I don’t have time to drink the celebratory wine for you and Cousin Zhao, but I will send the wedding gift," Xie Jingchen said.
Dong Chenglang felt exhausted.
He didn’t care about the gift or not.
As long as he wouldn’t kick him again in the future.
However, after this farewell, he won’t have the chance to be kicked even if he wanted to.
After an affectionate goodbye for a while, Xie Jingchen mounted his horse.
"Take care," Xie Jingchen said.
After saying this, Xie Jingchen rode away.
Zhao Xu and Dong Chenglang watched Xie Jingchen disappear into the distance, and only when they could no longer see him did they mount their horses and return to the mansion.
The three of them left the house together, but only two returned.
When General Shi saw this, he asked, "Where is Li Niu?"
Dong Chenglang didn’t know how to explain.
Zhao Xu said, "My father sent him on an errand."
Prime Minister Zhao glanced at Zhao Xu angrily, thinking what kind of son uses him as a shield.
General Shi looked at Prime Minister Zhao and said, "Prime Minister must have entrusted him with something important. That young boy is young but has a cunning mind far surpassing these juniors. I was just thinking of asking the Prime Minister to allow me to carefully train him around me. He will surely be Young Master’s right-hand man in the future."
Prime Minister Zhao, "...."
Prime Minister Zhao really didn’t know how to respond to that.
These people indeed were not qualified to cultivate the Heir of Prince Zhenbei of Daqi.
Xie Jingchen’s identity was inconvenient to reveal to General Shi. Otherwise, it would be admitting they tricked him.
Prime Minister Zhao casually replied, "It’s his fortune to learn from General Shi. But he might not return for a short time."
General Shi laughed and said, "Handling important matters is crucial."
Being talked about, Xie Jingchen, who was riding on horseback, sneezed several times.
Daqi, Capital City.
At the city gate, Su Chong rode forward.
Behind him were prisoners and Flying Tiger Army.
Civilians lined both sides of the city gate, rotten vegetables, and smelly eggs flew wildly.
Even if the Flying Tiger Army stayed far away, they still got affected.
This journey back encountered neither Duke Chong nor Prince Qi attempting to ambush.
Firstly, returning to the Capital didn’t pass through the territory occupied by Prince Qi.
Secondly, there was no need to rescue Xie Jingchuan.
Xie Jingchuan committed treason, intending to help Nanliang extinguish the Flying Tiger Army, and it was everyone’s duty to execute him.
Xie Jingchuan was caught poisoning in the act. Since then, every half hour, he would experience unbearable pain, proving that he was either poisoned or infected with a parasite.
Su Jin was skilled in poisoning, while Qin Hanhan was skilled in infecting with parasites.
Even if Prince Qi and Duke Chong rescued Xie Jingchuan, they couldn’t neutralize the poison or parasites, which would be wasted.
Xie Jingchuan’s pawn originally had little impact, failing at tasks and exposing Duke Chong’s plot against his brother. His death was not regrettable.
Outside the city, there were many throwing eggs. Inside the city, there were even more.
The Flying Tiger Army had captured Duke Nanliang alive and killed him in revenge; it was a great relief.
Then a very contradictory scene emerged, cheering for Su Chong, the Lieutenant General of the Flying Tiger Army, while loathing Xie Jingchuan, the traitor.
Smelly eggs and rotten vegetables flew in all directions.
In the crowd, Young Master Su and Ninth Prince carried a small basket of eggs with four people.
The four used slingshots to shoot eggs.
Eggs were fragile and easily broke. Using a slingshot to shoot them required skill.
The four took this as a contest, throwing eggs delightedly.
Nearly killing his father and eldest brother, including Uncle Lin and many brothers of Qingyun Mountain, no amount of smashing could relieve the hatred.
The four of them threw one egg after another towards the prisoners’ carriage.
But after throwing so many, errors happened inevitably.
Young Master Su accidentally involved Mr. Su.
The egg crashed on Mr. Su’s head.
A cracking sound echoed as it shattered.
Mr. Su’s attention was on Young Master Su, so he couldn’t dodge in time.
The yolk fell onto his shoulder.
Ninth Prince, "...."
Young Master Su, "...."
Young Master Shen, "...."
Young Master Zhao, "...."
Su Chong looked at the egg liquid dripping down the armor with a dark face.
Fortunately.
It wasn’t smelly.
Young Master Su and others shrunk their necks and turned to run.
But the crowd wall was impenetrable.
"Come over," Mr. Su said with a displeased face.
While the crowd was noisy, Young Master Su and the others still heard they were being called.
The four walked forward with their necks shrunk.
"Brother, we didn’t mean it," Young Master Su said.
Mr. Su looked at the yolk on the armor, and his head ached.
The sun was hot, the armor got heated.
It was a bit like frying an egg.
"Why use eggs?" Mr. Su asked.
"...There are no smelly eggs at home."
"We bought these with our own money. Anyway, since he doesn’t bathe, he will stink in a few days," Young Master Su pointed at Xie Jingchuan saying.
Su Chong held his forehead.
His younger brother’s thought process was like their father’s, difficult to comprehend.
Young Master Su stepped forward, wanting Su Chong to carry him to ride a horse, Su Chong said, "Where is your horse?"
Talking about this, Young Master Su was upset.
In the past half year, he grew taller, but the horse grew even faster, already much taller than them.
Such a tall horse, even if they dared to ride it, their mother wouldn’t allow it.
