Chapter 378 Fighting Against Me
Mu Xuzhen opened the letter.
The mysterious person in the letter instructed him to be wary of a man named Qingzhu.
He also claimed that he would occupy this sea area in the future, and even take the lives of him and Liao Jiesheng.
If given the chance, let him strike first and end the life of this little guy named Qingzhu.
When Mu Xuzhen saw the unsigned letter, he was somewhat dismissive.
"Is this guy crazy?"
Although Qingzhu is indeed doing well now, it's probably too early to say that he and Liao Jiesheng will die!
After all, among the three, the Qinghai Alliance has the fewest troops, while he has the strongest troops.
Even if they were to attack, the Qinghai Alliance would first target the weaker Liao Jiesheng.
In this way, he can sit back and watch the tigers fight, and when they are fighting to the death, he can come and reap the benefits.
……
After their meeting that day, the eldest princess hurriedly led her entourage out of the city, preparing to return to the northern frontier.
However, when she led her people out of the city, she encountered a troop of soldiers.
"Princess, since you've come all this way, it would be truly against ancestral custom not to pay your respects to His Majesty..."
The Imperial Guard leader, Wang Chengbin, led his men to stop the Princess.
"Wang Chengbin, are you that young soldier from back then?"
"It is indeed your subordinate! Princess, please?"
Wang Chengbin looked at the eldest princess with a complicated expression.
The eldest princess killed someone he cared about back then, and now that he has finally gotten his chance, he is naturally unwilling to let her get away with it.
The princess frowned as she looked at the thousands of soldiers he led.
Who informed the emperor about her coming to the capital?
"Princess, please!"
Looking at the group of less than a hundred people brought by the eldest princess, Wang Chengbin spoke forcefully.
As the princess pondered how to defeat the enemy, she saw another group of people rushing over.
"General Wang, I've come to your aid!"
That's the Crown Prince's voice.
The Crown Prince led a group of people, most of whom were soldiers under his former generals who had presided over the martial arts examination.
The crown prince was about to rest when Hao Tuo sent him a message saying that there was enemy activity outside the city.
If he wants to gain merit, he should quickly lead his men to capture him.
To his surprise, Commander Wang was even faster than him, but he wasn't too late.
The Crown Prince looked at the people in the arena, and when he saw that the leader was actually the Eldest Princess, he suddenly staggered and almost fell off his horse.
"Grand Aunt, it's you!"
The Crown Prince never expected that the enemy Hao Tuo mentioned would actually be the Eldest Princess.
"Your Highness, you've brought men here today, do you intend to arrest me?"
To be honest, the eldest princess doted on him a lot when he was a child.
If the Crown Prince hadn't been spoiled by the Empress, the Eldest Princess might have remained inactive and watched him ascend to the throne.
"No, how dare I, Your Majesty? Why have you come to the capital?"
The Crown Prince really didn't understand. Wouldn't it be better for the Eldest Princess to stay in her Le'an County?
Why would someone risk their life to come to the capital?
Doesn't she know that her father is wary of her?
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the Eldest Princess laughed loudly:
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that tomorrow is the birthday of your imperial grandfather? The reason I came to the capital is to offer sacrifices to your imperial grandfather!"
"Grandfather..."
If it weren't for the eldest princess's reminder, the crown prince would have almost forgotten that tomorrow is his grandfather's birthday.
I never imagined that my imperial aunt would risk such a danger to come and perform the sacrifice.
After pondering for a moment, the Crown Prince looked at Wang Chengbin.
"Commander Wang, since the Imperial Aunt is so kind, please let her go! She didn't mean it..."
"Your Highness, don't listen to the Princess's excuses. How do you know her purpose in coming to the capital? Perhaps she has come with a conspiracy..."
Wang Chengbin did not soften his heart because of the conversation between the aunt and niece.
Twenty years ago, the eldest princess harmed the woman he deeply loved. How could he forget such a deep-seated hatred?
Seeing the coldness in Wang Chengbin's eyes, the princess scoffed.
"Commander Wang, the trouble caused by Jiaojiao back then was not my doing. I advise you to open your eyes and thoroughly investigate the old case from back then!"
The reason why Wang Chengbin hates himself so much is simply because of Lin Rujiao's tragic death back then.
But she was not the one who did it back then. As for who did it, that depends on whether he is willing to investigate.
"Hmph! I will investigate this matter myself!"
Mei Lane.
Wu Weiwei looked at the little stone.
Has Commander Wang already led his men there?
"Master, Commander Wang rushed out of the city after receiving our letter, and I believe the Princess and the others have already been stopped..."
"That's good!"
Seeing that Wu Weiwei was still frowning, Xiao Shitou asked curiously, "Is the master worried that the princess will escape?"
"Yes, the Princess brought quite a few people, and she also has two highly skilled guards with her. I'm just afraid that Wang Chengbin doesn't take it seriously and that he doesn't have enough manpower!"
Haha, so that's what the boss wanted to talk about.
“Master, I’ve already taken precautions against what you’re worried about.”
Before sending the letter to Lord Wang, I also sent a message to Steward Hao. I'm afraid Steward Hao won't let this opportunity slip by..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Weiwei's face lit up with joy.
She smiled at Little Stone and praised him, "You're getting better and better at handling things now!"
Little Stone scratched his head; he wasn't actually as smart as his employer had claimed.
It was all thanks to Qingying's suggestion that I thought of sending a letter to Steward Hao.
……
Outside the city, the eldest princess and Wang Chengbin and others were locked in a stalemate.
The Crown Prince's original intention in coming today was to capture the thieves and thus gain merit in front of the Emperor.
Who would have thought that the thief in front of them would actually be the eldest princess?
Now he's truly in a bind.
Although his father and the eldest princess had fallen out, he still remembered how good the eldest princess had been to him when he was a child, and how much his grandfather had loved his aunt back then.
He was able to become the crown prince because of a single sentence from his grandfather.
As the city gates were about to close, the crown prince made his decision.
"Commander Wang, let's pretend we never saw the Imperial Aunt today!"
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the Eldest Princess looked astonished.
I never expected Yue'er to…
"Your Highness, you mustn't!"
Although he still harbors resentment towards the eldest master because of Jiao Jiao's death back then, and has decided to investigate again, one thing at a time.
If His Majesty finds out that they released the Princess, he will likely blame them, and he cannot bear that responsibility.
"Royal Aunt, you may leave! Consider this repayment for the kindness you showed me when I was a child..."
The Crown Prince looked at the Eldest Princess, feeling a pang of pity.
The eldest princess frowned.
"Your Highness, let's go quickly! Even if you don't think of yourself, you should at least think of the people of Le'an County!"
Ling Chu, who was beside him, advised him.
Since the Crown Prince is willing to let them go, then this is their chance.
Thinking of the people of Le'an County, the eldest princess immediately made a decision.
"go!"
Seeing that the princess's men were about to escape, Wang Chengbin instantly drew his sword from his waist.
"Wang Chengbin, how dare you!"
The crown prince instantly stepped in front of him.
"If you dare to lay a finger on my royal aunt today, you will be my enemy!"
