Chapter 429 Hunting Ground
Chapter 429 Hunting Ground
As soon as these words came out, everyone was trembling with fear.
Of course they knew that the man in front of them was an extremely powerful general of the Fang family army. Whenever he went to war, there was no battle he would not fail to win.
His illustrious reputation is frightening.
If you get angry now, you can only bear the punishment silently.
When Fang Qingshan left, he said: "If you want to blame, you should blame the wayward Princess of Xijiang. If she hadn't escaped without permission, you wouldn't have starved!"
The old nanny also felt angry in her heart. The princess's move was really inappropriate.
Now we can only hope that they are still alive after three days of starvation.
After Fang Qingshan returned to the camp, he quickly turned to Tie Yun and told Tie Yun: "Hurry back to the capital immediately and inform the regent in advance that the Princess of Xijiang has arrived in the capital. I'm worried that she is going for Xiao You'er. That Women are so jealous and brave and resourceful!"
Tie Yun was also anxious. She had long known that the Princess of Xijiang had been inquiring about her master along the way.
She nodded quickly: "My subordinates are leaving now and will definitely rush back to the capital as soon as possible!"
Seeing her leaving, Fang Qingshan couldn't help but murmur: "I hope you can return to the capital earlier than Princess Xijiang, so that little You'er can be prepared!"
At this time, his subordinates walked in quickly and reported: "General, Lu Chen sent back the news that he has found Princess Ruyi, but she was injured and needs to delay her return to Beijing!"
Fang Qingshan's face softened a little, and he nodded: "Ruyi is Xiao You'er's good sister. She is also a meritorious minister this time. I can rest assured that Lu Chen can protect her!"
He stepped out of the camp and saw that the sky was dark.
He quickly ordered: "Hurry up and ask them to put down the oilcloth. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. The princess of Xijiang's dowry cannot be lost at all, otherwise they will falsely accuse us of being a poor guard!"
Almost as soon as everyone was prepared, heavy raindrops started falling down hard.
At this time, two horses were galloping at full speed on the rugged official road.
Sitting on the horse was Aida, the princess of Western Xinjiang, who had no intention of stopping even though her whole body was soaked.
Years of battlefield experience have made her a smart and calculating woman.
She knew better than anyone else that due to her status as the princess, Tianfeng Regent Xiao Sheng would be unwilling to marry him even if he forced her to marry him.
When she was young, her father taught her that men must surrender absolutely.
Therefore, she wanted to take the absolute initiative, not only to win this man's body, but also to occupy his heart.
She wanted to find a reason why he had to marry, and after marrying, he would never let her suffer the slightest injustice.
It was her plan to sneak into Tianfeng Capital in advance to look for opportunities.
The maid Qingshuang rushed to her with a face full of water and said: "Your Highness, we can't go on our way anymore. It's raining too hard. I'm worried that there will be danger ahead!"
Aida said stubbornly: "The earlier I can enter Beijing, the better my chances of controlling Xiao Sheng will be. I can't waste all my time on the road!"
Qingshuang didn't dare to persuade her any more, so she had to take another piece of clothing and cover Aida's body.
As daybreak approached, the rain gradually stopped.
Aida was cold and hungry, and her originally pretty face was extremely pale at the moment.
Qingshuang burned some liquor for her, and she drank it down directly.
Feeling the waves of warmth coming from her heart, she said hoarsely: "Is the capital coming soon?"
Qingshuang nodded quickly: "Well, after climbing over the mountain in front, we are on the outskirts of Beijing. We have no road guide, how can we enter the city smoothly?"
Aida hesitated for a moment before saying: "Go to the nearby farmer's house to dress up first!"
Soon, the master and servant became ordinary women who came to the city to visit relatives.
After the two successfully entered the city, they rented a secluded house.
Aida sent Qingshuang out to find out the news. She sat next to the bronze mirror in the house and murmured in a low voice: "Xiao Sheng, I'm here. I haven't seen you in a few years. Do you still remember me?"
Her bright face appeared in the bronze mirror, as well as the thick sadness between her eyebrows.
She stretched out her hand to touch her gently, and said mockingly: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I will be your only one, so that you can never leave me again in this life. Whatever I want, you have to give me!"
She waved her hand suddenly and the bronze mirror shattered to the ground.
Qingshuang opened the door and came in, holding a steaming meat bun in her hand.
She said respectfully: "Your Highness, please eat something to comfort your stomach first. I have already found out that the Regent is getting married on the eighth day of this month!"
Aida's face changed suddenly and she said in surprise: "How could it be so fast? It stands to reason that he has already received the news that Xijiang sent a princess to get married, so why is there a big wedding?"
A hint of complexity flashed across Qingshuang's eyes, but she hesitated to speak.
Aida reprimanded in a deep voice: "You have been with me from birth to death since you were a child. Have you even forgotten my temperament?"
Qingshuang quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I have heard that the regent has no intention of getting married at all, and Emperor An has not proposed it. Maybe he has other arrangements!"
Aida's face was livid with anger. Fortunately, she came to the capital in advance. Otherwise, Xiao Sheng would have already married the princess just a few days later.
No, his wife can only be herself!
She didn't hesitate anymore and said quickly: "Go and inquire about Xiao Sheng's whereabouts and see where he has been these past few days?"
Qingshuang said: "I have already inquired about it. Today is the most important hunting festival for the Tianfeng royal family. Emperor An and the regent will lead hundreds of officials to the royal hunting ground!"
Aida narrowed her eyes, hunting was her best skill.
When she was in Western Xinjiang, she won the title of the best hunter.
Even my father sighed, I only hate that I, Aida, was born as a girl. If she were born as a man, she would be the most powerful warrior in Western Xinjiang.
No matter what, she wanted to go to the hunting ground and have a look.
She quickly asked Qingshuang to prepare, and the two immediately rushed to the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Beijing.
Originally, Lin Ruoyou refused to go to the hunting festival. She was a little lazy and really refused to move.
However, sisters Tang Xiner and Tang Xianrou came to the house early in the morning and molested her.
Especially Tang Xiner, the little girl looked at her so pitifully that her uncle Fang Qingyue, who had just returned home, was moved.
He frowned and said, "Xiao You'er, just go with her. Besides, I'm going to participate in the hunting competition. Don't you want to see your uncle, my wise and mighty person?"
When Tang Xiner saw someone speaking for her next to her, she shouted without hesitation: "I would like to see my uncle be wise and mighty. Sister Lin, you will definitely not refuse, right?"
Tang Xianrou, who was next to her, just smiled and said nothing, as if Lin Ruoyou's refusal was unreasonable.
In this way, she was abducted into the carriage heading to the royal hunting ground, with a look of despair on her pretty face.
