Are You Still Planning to Send Us to Our Deaths in the Great Qi Army?
The butler said, "You can try it if you don't believe me. If it's not safe, we won't charge you a penny."
Shangguan Wan'er sneered, "When we really encounter danger, will we still have a chance to come looking for you?"
The butler smiled slightly and said, "If you don't believe me, then use your own guards."
Princess Jianing said, "Give me one level 8 and one level 9."
The butler quickly nodded and said, "Alright! Don't worry, we'll guarantee your safety. Wherever you want to go, they'll escort you there."
Princess Jianing nodded and said, "Alright, let's get out of the city quickly."
The butler helped them pack their bags, and soon two guards arrived. These two guards had stern faces and didn't say a word the whole time.
Wherever Princess Jianing went, they went.
Princess Jianing said, "We must hurry and head south."
The guard said, "Going south might not be a good idea."
Princess Jianing glared at her and said, "What's wrong with that? I can go wherever I want. Do you have any right to say anything here?"
The guard immediately fell silent.
After Princess Jianing and Shangguan Wan'er boarded the carriage, they headed south.
The two guards followed closely behind in another carriage.
The guard frowned and said:
"I've seen sick people, but I've never seen anyone this sick. What on earth is she thinking?"
Why are we heading in the direction of the Great Qi army?
Another guard scoffed, "Who knows? They probably think they're not dying fast enough."
The guard sighed and said, "Let her do whatever she wants! Anyway, the young lady paid for it, and we've already reminded her."
Behind the two guards were more than a dozen trees; these guards were protected by large trees when they went out.
These large trees were incredibly fast, outrunning even ordinary carriages, and were no problem at all dealing with arrows and crossbows.
As long as these two don't do anything reckless and clash with Earth Ranking experts, they'll be safe.
But to my surprise, these two young ladies were so bold as to charge straight into the Great Qi army camp.
They soon realized something was wrong.
"This place is so strange! There are so many Great Qi soldiers here!" Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed.
"Stop the carriage immediately! Something's not right. We'll be at the Great Qi army camp soon, won't we?"
Upon seeing the carriage, the Great Qi rushed over and shouted, "Halt! Where did you come from?"
Princess Jianing's expression changed drastically upon seeing the Great Qi. She exclaimed, "They came from... from Yanmen Pass!"
"Ha! Yanmen Pass, huh? Arrest them all."
Princess Jianing looked at the two guards and said, "Are you dead? Why haven't you made a move yet? We've paid so much money, is this how you do things?"
The two guards sneered, "Didn't you insist on coming to the Great Qi camp? Didn't we warn you?"
Princess Jianing pointed at their noses and yelled, "If you continue with this attitude, I'll chop off your heads!"
Upon hearing this, the Great Qi all gathered around and asked, "What did she just say? Is she a princess?"
"Isn't that the princess of Great Xia? Arrest them immediately!"
Dozens of Great Qi rushed towards this direction.
"If she really is a princess of Great Xia, we've done a tremendous service this time."
"Yes, yes, yes! Quickly grab them, we're rich!"
These people rushed over directly, and Princess Jianing and Shangguan Wan'er trembled with fear.
At the critical moment, their bodyguards made their move.
Unfortunately, these bodyguards were of poor quality, and they soon found themselves at a disadvantage.
Princess Jianing looked at the two guards and asked, "Are you going to make a move or not?"
A famous guard said:
"We will definitely take action; didn't we agree on that back then?"
"I only need to protect the two of you. As for their safety, I don't need to worry about that, do I?"
Princess Jianing trembled with anger. "How could you do this? Shouldn't the people around me be protected too?"
Another guard produced the contract and said:
"It's clearly written here! We only need to protect the two of you, that's why we charge this price."
If we need to protect more areas, then our fees will be higher.
Princess Jianing was furious; her bodyguards were on the verge of being wiped out.
She asked, "How much silver would I need to protect these guards?"
The guard said, "Add another 10,000 taels of silver."
Princess Jianing took out 10,000 taels of silver, and the two guards made their move. They were very swift and charged directly into the midst of the Great Qi.
They quickly engaged the Great Qi in battle, and within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Great Qi could no longer hold out.
Just as I was about to run away, I was entangled by something unknown and pulled into the woods.
These Great Qi quickly disappeared.
Princess Jianing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is it resolved like this?"
The guard nodded and said:
"Yes, where would you two like to go now? If you'd like to experience the scenery of the Great Qi, I can take you there."
Anyway, you have a whole day to go, so we'll go wherever you want with you.
But don't worry, we will definitely ensure your safety.
The trees hiding in the shadows were overjoyed; it was as if they had been taken on a sightseeing trip.
After they finished eating the Great Qi, they felt full of energy.
Princess Jianing rolled her eyes and said:
"You're planning to send us to our deaths in the Great Qi army? How could you be so cruel?"
I have to go back now. I definitely can't stay at Yanmen Pass anymore. Hey, besides Yanmen Pass, where else is relatively safe?
The guard looked at her and said, "The safest place is Yanmen Pass, and the second safest are the eight border cities. These eight cities are very safe, so don't worry."
Shangguan Wan'er scoffed coldly:
"Yanmen Pass is safe? That's hilarious! Yanmen Pass is probably the least safe place right now."
I actually think Sunset Town Sunset Town is quite nice; I heard it's been very lively lately.
The town was originally dilapidated, but overnight it was completely transformed, which many people attributed to a miracle.
Why don't we go take a look?
Princess Jianing nodded and said, "Alright! Let's go to Sunset Town then! It's better than waiting to die at Yanmen Pass."
Chaos reigned inside Yanmen Pass: "We heard the Great Qi army is about to attack! Let's run!"
"What? The Great Qi army is coming soon? Where do we run to?"
"Who knows? But I think we can wait and see."
"What are you waiting for? Didn't you know that Yanmen Pass was besieged before?"
Some elderly people still know the tragic situation at Yanmen Pass Yanmen Pass then, where hundreds of thousands of people were trapped inside and nearly starved to death.
The soldiers at Yanmen Pass were terrified; they had been besieged before, and the experience had left them with a deep-seated fear.
