Hua Rong's face turned pale, so many soldiers came in, it was more like forcing her to have an abortion than a confession.
She raised her voice and shouted angrily: "You are so outrageous. Anyone who allows you to enter the princess's camp, get out!"
Every soldier who came in looked at each other angrily, and there was no hint of humility in their mouths. They looked more like they were ready to take action at any time.
"Please forgive us for being rude. General Liu is innocent, but the princess wants to punish him indiscriminately. We are also in a hurry." The last person to follow was a fourth-grade Zhongwu general, the highest-ranking general besides Liu Lei.
Apparently, the entire bride-to-be team started to riot, trying to take the opportunity to attack her.
Faced with this critical situation, Chen Xueying not only did not panic, but also had some expectation in her heart.
She smiled coldly: "Very good, I never expected that you would be so eager to die. You used snakes, insects, rats and ants to threaten me, but you still don't know your fault. You feel that you have done something heroic, and your crime will be increased. On the road to hell. It’s cold, with so many of you together, you must not be afraid of the cold anymore.”
She was not intimidated by this posture at all, and even added fuel to the fire with her own hands.
Sure enough, when these words came to light, half of the people in the camp changed their expressions, and some of the rough guys even raised their eyebrows in anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone calls you princess politely. You don't really think you are rich, do you? A bitch who eloped with a wild man still has the nerve to live in this world-"
"Shut up!" Liu Lei was furious and immediately punched him.
The strong man who was yelling had his head knocked aside in an instant. He spit out a tooth and it was still stained with blood.
The camp fell into silence, and the tense atmosphere was almost suffocating.
Ye Jing's calves were trembling, and Hua Pu next to her was not doing much better. The two little maids supported each other to prevent each other from falling.
She really wanted to persuade Chen Xueying to value peace, stand on a moral high ground and give it a few scoldings.
But this situation is definitely impossible.
Moreover, she had been quietly sizing up Chen Xueying. As the person who burned the fire even more intensely, Chen Xueying was the calmest person in the camp.
But Ye Jing could feel her hidden excitement. It was obvious that Chen Xueying wanted to cause trouble.
"Your Highness, this is all due to the general's negligence in management -" Liu Lei's head was pounding, and he knelt down again.
"General Liu, I can't stand it when you kneel down. Haven't you seen that soldiers like you are going to eat people? The more you kneel down and admit your mistake to me, the more they will hate me. Don't add fuel to the fire. ."
Chen Xueying interrupted him again, and was well versed in the ways of yin and yang. These words were very irritating.
The soldiers in the camp suddenly didn't know how to respond.
It was obviously a good thing not to let the general kneel down, but what the princess said was not right at all, and it sounded particularly uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. We are all reckless. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If you go around in circles, they won't understand." The fifth-grade loyal general just now came out to take charge of the overall situation.
"That's right."
Obviously, his words elicited a response.
Chen Xueying raised her eyebrows and looked at this ordinary-looking but young man.
"They are fools, and you don't look like it. Tell me your name."
"The last general's surname is Cen, and his given name is Ruhai. He was originally a Yulin guard guarding the imperial city. He is now a fifth-grade Zhongwu general, escorting the princess to get married. The former deputy general was killed by the Northern Qi prince, and now he takes over as deputy general." The young man reported his family name. .
"Cen Ruhai? I've never heard of him. He must not be very talented, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent here from the position of protecting his father." Chen Xueying commented nonchalantly.
The corner of Cen Ruhai's mouth twitched. This Princess Yuanjin was really as unpleasant as the rumors said.
"General Liu is straightforward and not as thoughtful as you. It seems like you were the instigator of what happened today, right?" She raised her hand and nodded at him.
Cen Ruhai's scalp tightened and he immediately said: "This is not what the general did."
"You didn't do it. Why did you just squeeze in? Are you watching the fun? I heard you say with my own ears that it was you who came up with the idea. You also put the spiders and snakes there yourself?" Chen Xueying frowned, her face full of laughter. Glancing at him impatiently.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
"Princess, you heard me right. My servant heard it too. General Cen shouted so loudly." Ye Jing met her gaze and immediately agreed with her eagerly.
No matter, even if she didn't understand what Chen Xueying wanted to do, Chen Xueying was so smart that she would never miss it, so she just followed it.
"Okay, I'm tired, you all squeeze in, the whole room smells bad. But I'm frightened, I can't just expose it casually, just choose the most unpleasant punishment. Cen Ruhai, it's just you, To fulfill your loyalty, I will kill you and bury you."
Chen Xueying waved her hand, showing a disgusted expression, and decided a life with a casual comment.
Cen Ruhai's forehead twitched wildly. Damn it, Princess Yuanjin was in conflict with him.
He came to Beiqi, but he had an important mission, and he didn't want to die in such an unclear way, and to die in such a cowardly manner!
He did take part in curing the princess's bad temper today, but he didn't take it seriously at all. He just made some provocations. Who made Princess Yuanjin stupid enough to elope with someone? If she pissed off the prince of Northern Qi again, all of them would Everyone must be finished!
"Princess, think twice."
"Tsk!" Chen Xueying tutted: "Liu Lei, why are you adding fuel to the fire? Do you think my punishment is too light? There are so many people crowded here. If you fall into the ears of the emperor, the minimum punishment will be for you. After forcing everyone in the palace to be executed, I only let one unknown person take the blame, and it was done voluntarily, so everyone is completely happy, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
She stepped on Cen Ruhai to death.
Ye Jing listened nearby and almost burst out laughing.
Cen Ruhai is not an unknown person in the book. Now he is all disguised and hidden deeply.
He is a close confidant of Prince Dayan and the bodyguard of Princess Yuanjin’s brother. He has an important mission and wants to find out the background of Northern Qi. In the later period, he always pitied the heroine who was a fake princess and became the heroine’s male partner. .
However, Chen Xueying obviously despised this male partner and did not allow him to hide in a low profile. Instead, she dug him out and killed him.
Can Cen Ruhai endure it? Of course it's impossible.
However, Liu Lei was rendered speechless by the princess's stupid words and could not help at all.
This sounds reasonable at first glance.
Although he wanted to refute, he couldn't speak. After all, being judged as soon as he spoke would add fuel to the fire, so how could he open his mouth?
The reckless men behind him didn't know how to deal with it. They were simple-minded and were provoked by Cen Ruhai in private. They got mad and went against Liu Lei's wishes. Now when faced with the princess's absurd reasoning, of course they followed her way of thinking.
There were actually several people who nodded secretly and winked at him secretly, asking him to agree, saying that they would secretly let him go later.
Damn it, even though he is still alive, how can he sneak into the Northern Qi Palace to inquire.
Whoever leaves, he can't leave!
Was Princess Yuanjin pretending to be stupid before? How could she be so accurate?
"Princess, the death of one person is insignificant. If it can relieve your anger, I will be happy to do so. But the most basic reason of the matter has not been solved. Please listen to what we soldiers are saying."
No one helps him, he can only create opportunities.
"What are you talking about? Are you well fed and clothed, and your wife and children are warm on the bed? When you send me to Northern Qi, I will go back to Dayan to ask for my reward in front of my father. The most important thing at the moment is to make me happy. Why are you blabbering? Just beat him up quickly. Bury it to death, don't be an eyesore in front of me."
"Not only do you have no skills, but you also talk a lot of nonsense!"
Chen Xueying was disdainful and did not forget to belittle him in the end.
No matter how well-mannered Cen Ruhai was, his brain was throbbing with anger.
He really wanted to ask, why did he dislike him so much? It was clear just now that someone called her a bitch in public, but she didn't mention it no matter what.
This Princess Yuanjin is definitely sick!
He looked around. The group of reckless men around him didn't understand what he meant at all. They kept winking at him, and even told him directly not to be afraid. They would let him leave Beiqi and give him a lot of money.
You can't count on these fools at all.
"Your Highness Princess, as the saying goes, a person who is about to die can speak well. Please listen to what the general has to say. Everyone respects the princess very much. However, corruption has become prevalent in official circles in recent years, and grain and grass embezzlement in the border areas has been serious. We brothers are on the battlefield. , fighting with blood on the tip of the knife, hoping to let the nobles and common people in the palace live a comfortable life, but it backfired and enriched many corrupt officials and made them fat. "
"We are all honored to be able to send the princess to get married this time, and we promised the emperor that we will complete the task. However, there were frequent accidents along the way, and the princess was accidentally lost. Of course, we also know that the princess suffered, and it was all because of that It's the gangster's fault." He was afraid that Chen Xueying would get into trouble, so he immediately helped her make amends.
Chen Xueying immediately showed an expression of "I guess you know the truth", leaned back again, and listened to him casually.
Cen Ruhai breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but sweat. Why is Princess Yuanjin so scary?
He discovered that persuading fools is the most difficult thing.
"Last night the wolf pack attacked at night, and five soldiers were injured. If General Liu hadn't taken action, the losses would have been even more serious. These days, everyone has tightened their nerves. There is no credit but hard work, but the princess scolded General Liu, so Brothers, you feel a little sad, coupled with the emotional tension, you made this mistake in a moment of confusion, please princess, please forgive me for this time for the sake of everyone going through fire and water to protect Dayan!"
"Exactly. Please forgive me, princess, for being stupid for a moment."
"Princess, look at this scar on my neck. I almost had my head chopped off, but I managed to survive. It was caused by fighting against the Tatars three years ago!"
"The little one also had it on his back. He was stabbed in the waist and almost split into two pieces."
…
Obviously, Cen Ruhai is a master at mobilizing everyone's emotions. With just a few words, he has turned the desperate situation around.
Let these reckless men stand on his side again and speak of their own bravery and misery without any knowledge.
Chen Xueying looked at the people below. Cen Ruhai was kneeling in front of her with his head lowered. Although she could not see the expression on his face clearly, it did not prevent her from seeing his pride.
"I finally know why I dislike you." Chen Xueying was not affected, but spoke slowly.
There was a moment of silence in the tent, and even Cen Ruhai couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen.
"At first, I only thought it was because you looked too ordinary, but now it seems that it is not the case. You have an annoying mouth and are good at confusing black and white. If you are next to the king of the subjugated country, you will definitely become a deceiver. Quan Huan. They all agreed to my execution just now, but now they have listened to a few words from you and are helping you charge into battle."
"This is an immoral thing like releasing spiders and snakes. You just said a few words casually and they rushed in to do it, right?"
She hummed softly, as if she was complaining casually, but it was extremely aggressive.
These words made Liu Lei thoughtful, and Cen Ruhai was like a thunderbolt, unable to refute for a long time.
This woman is definitely his nemesis!
"You are great heroes who protect your home and country, and you are the invincible patron saint of Dayan, but do these have anything to do with me?" Chen Xueying sneered, asking in a sharp tone for the first time.
Everyone couldn't help but look up at her, and Liu Lei moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
Chen Xueying did not give anyone a chance to speak, and said to herself: "Don't you know who I am? I am a woman who was used by Dayan to please Northern Qi. You should know better than me who the prince of Northern Qi is. .Because Dayan cannot defeat Northern Qi in the war. It sounds nice that I am the crown prince of Northern Qi, but in fact it is just a trophy."
"In the future, if he is happy, he will slap me twice, and if he is unhappy, he will kick me a few times. Who among you can save me?"
"Aren't you heroes? Why didn't you fight Beiqi to the end instead of giving up and sending the woman to get married? Every day in Beiqi from now on, I may be worse than dead, and all of this is because of the incompetence of Dayan's men."
She was not hysterical, but at the end of her speech, her mood swings became more and more severe, and her voice trembled.
These words were like a sharp sword, cutting into everyone's hearts.
The rough guys who originally looked down on the princess' elopement all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her again.
"Anyway, it's almost time to reach Northern Qi, so I don't have to be afraid of saying something taboo. I know that you are all suffering in your hearts and are risking your lives, so your life is not easy. Dayan's failure is not your fault, and it is not your decision to let me get married. Yes. Then I also ask you to have a little more conscience. Will I live a better life than you?"
"I have been pampered by the Dayan Palace for more than ten years. I have been treated with luxury and luxury. Now it's time to pay the price. All of you who are complaining and complaining about me, the King of Heaven, have nothing to do with this palace. Please don't take it out on me. I just want to pay the price." She’s just a weak woman who can’t help herself.”
"Only a coward would swing a knife at the weak. I hope you can truly become the heroes you say you are."
After Chen Xueying said such a long speech, her voice became a little hoarse. She lit a tea cup, and Hua Rong immediately stepped forward to pour water.
She took a few sips to moisten her throat, and then said: "What are you guys doing here? This palace is small and cannot accommodate heroes like you. Get rid of him as soon as possible. I don't want to see this ugly man who talks nonsense."
The soldiers who were jostling each other inside the tent seemed to have come back to their senses. They rushed out one by one. Some of them were so embarrassed that they covered their faces with their hands.
When Liu Lei finally left, he did not forget to hold Cen Ruhai behind his back and hold him as he walked out.
"Princess, please rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" He assured Chen Xueying before leaving.
