After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day
Chapter 73 Tribute
Jiang Wanyue listened carefully and found it incredible. Although she had heard about the trade between Mobei and the Western Regions in her previous life, she never thought that there was such a past.
"Then Lingyi grass is not so easy to obtain."
Jiang Wanyue felt regretful and sad at the same time. Without Lingyi grass, Jiang Ye's poison could not be eliminated.
Xie Jingce raised his hand, touched Jiang Wanyue's head, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it is said that the envoys from Mobei will soon arrive in Beijing, just in time for Linyuan Dynasty's annual hunting. We will inquire about it then."
"hunting?"
Jiang Wanyue almost forgot that the winter hunt began at this time in her previous life, but there were fewer prey in winter, so the competition was even greater.
The envoys coming to Beijing at this time would indeed be able to catch up with the hunting trip.
Jiang Wanyue had originally thought that she might need to go to Mobei, but it seemed that there was no need to go through so much trouble.
"How could the envoy from Mobei bring such an important thing as Lingyi Grass to our dynasty?" Jiang Wanyue asked after thinking for a moment.
She didn't realize that there was anything wrong with Xie Jingce touching her head.
Xie Jingce said, "Since Mobei was defeated by the Western Regions, there have been constant civil unrest, and many neighboring countries are eyeing Mobei covetously. Our dynasty has gradually become stronger in recent years. Facing such internal and external troubles, shouldn't the ruler of Mobei curry favor with us?"
Jiang Wanyue understood, "So the Lord of Mobei sent an envoy here for another purpose, which is to join forces with Xie...Emperor?"
The night was quiet, and only the sound of two people talking could be heard clearly. Xie Jingce naturally heard the incomplete word "Thank you".
"It's not really an alliance, it's just that the Lord of Mobei promised some benefits." Xie Jingce suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said nonchalantly.
It is true to say so. Xie Jinghong has always been dissatisfied with Xie Jingce's position as regent, and has been determined to hold power in his own hands. He has tried many times but failed. If he can quell the civil strife for the King of Mobei, then the entire Mobei will become Xie Jinghong's helper.
Jiang Wanyue felt terrified just thinking about it, and murmured, "No, we can't let him succeed."
"what?"
Xie Jingce didn't hear clearly and asked softly.
Jiang Wanyue came back to her senses and quickly shook her head: "No, nothing."
There was a strange look in Xie Jingce's eyes. He had just clearly heard that nothing should be allowed to succeed, but since Jiang Wanyue didn't want to tell him, he didn't want to force her to tell him.
Seeing that Jiang Wanyue was not in a good state, Xie Jingce withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "It's a little late, you should have a good rest, I will come to see you next time."
Jiang Wanyue didn't listen and just said "hmm" softly, immersed in her own thoughts.
"sough--"
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard. Xie Jingce paused in opening the window, moved his ears, and quickly retreated back to Jiang Wanyue.
Jiang Wanyue caught a glimpse of Xie Jingce and asked, "Why haven't you..." Leave...
Before she could even utter the word "go", her lips were covered by a big hand. The warm breath from the palm was transmitted, and the two soft lips were also pressed against the palm. Jiang Wanyue looked at Xie Jingce steadily, and her ears turned red.
Xie Jingce didn't care about these things. He listened vigilantly to the noise outside and told Jiang Wanyue in words: "Someone is here."
Jiang Wanyue's eyes widened, and she thought of the conversation between Chen and Madam Wang a few days ago. At that time, she thought they were going to kill Jiang Ye, but she didn't expect it would be her.
Outside, a circle of men in black were approaching step by step. The leader made a gesture, and the men in black tiptoed forward again. Someone had already flown onto the roof.
Xie Jingce had already let go of Jiang Wanyue. He pointed at the roof with his right hand and extended one finger to indicate that there was a person on the roof. He drew a circle with his left hand and extended seven fingers with both hands to indicate that there were seven people around.
Eight people in total.
Jiang Wanyue understood the gesture, she nodded and said softly: "Leave him alive."
Before he finished speaking, the man on the roof stepped on the tiles and rushed towards Jiang Wanyue with the sword in his hand, as if he did not expect that there was another man in the house. The man in black was stunned and the sword deviated an inch, which gave Jiang Wanyue and Xie Jingce the opportunity.
The two men worked together and the man in black was defeated. He whistled despite his injuries and continued to fight with the two men.
The seven men in black outside heard the whistle and immediately rushed in from all directions.
"Why is there a man?"
Like the first man in black who came in, the others were also surprised that Xie Jingce was here.
The men in black didn't recognize Xie Jingce, and the leader mocked, "Haha, Miss Jiang actually secretly kept a man, this is shocking news, don't worry about the man, we only want to kill the woman."
"Yes."
The remaining six people received the order and immediately stopped fighting with Xie Jingce and attacked Jiang Wanyue.
The financier told them that Miss Jiang was weak and knew only mediocre Kung Fu at best, so it would be easiest to kill her. But when they rushed forward, they realized that Jiang Wanyue was not only skilled in martial arts, but also quite good at it.
The leader's eyes widened, and he glanced at the injured brothers around him, incredulous: "Damn it, didn't he say he didn't know martial arts?"
Jiang Wanyue, holding three silver needles in her hand, was blocked by eight men in black against the wall, their eyes as sharp as wolves.
Seeing Jiang Wanyue being besieged, Xie Jingce approached the man at the edge and killed him with one knife.
The other seven people noticed the movement and became wary of Xie Jingce. Taking this opportunity, Jiang Wanyue threw silver needles at the three people closest to her.
Three silver needles entered their throats and the three men in black fell to the ground and died.
"Damn it!"
The leading man cursed in a low voice and slashed at Jiang Wanyue again.
Seeing Xie Jingce approaching again, Jiang Wanyue shook her head at him and clenched the thing in her right hand.
Seeing Jiang Wanyue's determined look, Xie Jingce knew that she had made up her mind, so he silently took a few steps back. At this time, he could not hold Jiang Wanyue back.
Jiang Wanyue chuckled, and when the remaining four people surrounded her again, she swung her right hand forward, and white powder scattered in the air, falling in front of several people's eyes, disrupting their vision.
In a flash, Jiang Wanyue and Xie Jingce moved at the same time. Xie Jingce consciously covered his mouth and nose and knocked the four people unconscious.
Jiang Wanyue was stunned when she saw Xie Jingce's actions, and then she held back her laughter.
This battle was silent but full of tacit understanding.
Xie Jingce raised the corners of his lips slightly. Does this mean that he and Jiang Wanyue are one step closer?
Jiang Wanyue didn't think so much. If Xie Jingce couldn't understand what she meant, then he would not be worthy of the title of regent.
Xie Jingce asked: "Is he dead?"
Jiang Wanyue shook her head and said, "It's just a drug. They wore face cloths and couldn't breathe it in through their mouths and noses, so I added something that would cause hallucinations as long as it came into contact with the skin."
Xie Jingce pursed his lips: "..."
So he just covered up the loneliness?
Jiang Wanyue guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Do you still remember the wooden box that I gave you during the day? The antidote is in it. If you have it, take it quickly."
Xie Jingce: "...I didn't bring it."
Jiang Wanyue: “…” Okay, just pretend she didn’t say anything.
