Jiaohua

After leaving Qingquan Town, Princess Chiyu's cavalry ran at the fastest speed and returned to the prosperous Lingdai City at the foot of the Shifeng Mountains twelve hours later.

They were moving at the fastest speed, but when they arrived at Lingdai City, they found that what happened in Qingquan Town had spread throughout the place.

After returning to the palace, Princess Chiyu was furious. She usually had a good temper and was gentle to her subordinates, but because a maid said something wrong by mistake, she raised her hand and slapped the maid.

The aunts hurried forward to persuade her to calm down. Princess Chiyu said in a deep voice: "Our horses are already the most aggressive horses on the grassland, but the news came back faster than we did. There is only one possibility. A-li has already planted forces in Lingdai City and trained the eagle in advance to pass on the news for her."

The aunt at the side said: "Then, we will treat them just like we did those killers of Zhi Tu. We will catch them one by one and behead them in public to serve as a warning to others."

Princess Chiyu shook her head: "No, this is different. Zhitu's assassins are aiming to kill us, they can't keep their cool and are easily exposed. But Ali's men don't have to, they can just stay hidden in the dark."

"Then, can we lure them out with a fake marching formation and material dispatch?"

"I do not know."

The aunt was stunned: "Princess, why are you..."

"Why, such a setback?" Princess Chiyu sighed. "The Han people have a saying that I particularly like, which is to know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. In the past few years, among all the famous Han generals I have studied, only Ali is the most special one. But I was not scared by her, and I was interested in fighting her. But why did she come to the Golden Moon Mountain? It is said that she does not like to kill people, but now she is swinging her knife at civilians. She has no mercy and kindness. She is even more terrifying like this."

A maid came in and said respectfully, "Princess, Princess Ginny greets you!"

Princess Chiyu's eyes twitched and she frowned, "Please come in."

"I'm going to kill Ali!" Shangtai Jinni shouted to Princess Chiyu as soon as she came in, "Give me soldiers and horses, I want three thousand soldiers and horses!"

Princess Chiyu stood up and said, "Princess, A-Li has gone south. I don't know where she has gone yet."

"Then I'll go after her! Aren't the horses from our grasslands inferior to the sick four-legged mules of the Han people?"

Shangtai Jinni slammed the golden whip in her hand on the table and said, "I want to avenge the people of Qingquan Town, I want to avenge my benefactor Mubu Yifan! I know that Ali is powerful, and I am powerful too. I won this golden whip just last month. I am the most amazing girl in Lingdai City! Princess, give me soldiers and horses!"

Princess Chiyu looked at the golden whip on the table, then raised her eyes. There was no gentleness in her eyes, but they became extremely cold.

Shangtai Jinni was furious: "Princess?"

"Princess, is it possible that those people who surround you all day long heard something they shouldn't have heard outside, and therefore whispered nonsense in your ear?"

"Princess, tell me, was Qingquan Town invaded by Ali's troops? Were our civilians killed by Ali?"

Princess Chiyu looked at her aunt and said, "The princess has too many bad friends around her. They spread slander all day long and disturb the princess's vision and hearing. You go and order Keboer to lead 800 soldiers to arrest these people and put them in jail."

The aunt's face turned pale, because Keber was left in the palace to assassinate Ali. According to the news they heard after returning to the city today, Keber was dead and his body was hanged above the palace.

It is not known whether this news is true or not, but from the moment that Keber and the other three were left in the palace and took on the assassination mission, they were bound to die.

The assassination failed and he died.

Even if the assassination was successful, it would be impossible for him to survive among so many elite soldiers and generals.

"You dare to go!" Shang Tai Jinni pointed at her aunt, "If you dare to pass on this order, I will kill you!"

Princess Chiyu said in a dignified manner: "This is my bedroom, Princess, are you going to kill my people here?"

"Then let's try!" Shang Tai Jinni widened her bright and beautiful eyes, "I know you are a princess, but my mother was also a princess when she was alive! And don't forget, my mother's last name is Xia'er! If you don't give me three thousand soldiers, I will go find my grandfather!"

Princess Chiyu looked at her aunt and said coldly, "What are you standing there for? Why aren't you going?"

Shangtai Jinni said angrily: "How dare you go!"

The aunt saluted them and turned to walk out. Shangtai Jinni grabbed the golden whip on the table and hit her aunt, but before she could exert force on her wrist, Princess Chiyu suddenly raised her hand and grabbed it.

Shangtai Jinni was startled and turned to attack her.

As a result, within five moves, not only was her golden whip taken away, but her hands were also handcuffed behind her back by Princess Chiyu and she was pressed on the table.

"You, you are so good at fighting?!" Shangtai Jinni widened her eyes.

"Excuse me, Princess, but my skills are far inferior to A-Li's, and you are even worse than me. How can you fight A-Li?"

After saying this, Princess Chiyu let her go and said, "Come here, Princess Jinni is not feeling well. From now on, she will stay in the Princess's residence to recuperate. She will not accept any visitors and will not go out."

Shangtai Jinni yelled, "Akadama! How dare you do this to me!"

Princess Chiyu raised her hand and slapped her loudly on the face. The maids and aunts beside her stood motionless, looking at her nose with their eyes and mouth with their noses, without any reaction.

"You hit me!"

"You are sixteen years old now. You should be sensible and don't embarrass the prince."

Several aunts with higher, straighter and deeper noses than those of ordinary Beiyuan people came forward and directly held Shangtai Jinni.

Shangtai Jinni was still covering her face when she was suddenly startled: "Let me go! I can walk by myself!"

The aunts ignored her and took her away by force.

"How dare you do this to me! Chiyu, when my father comes back, you will suffer a lot! He dotes on me so much, how dare you do this to me!"

An aunt suddenly took out a handkerchief and covered Shangtai Jinni's mouth tightly.

Shang Tai Jinni struggled for a few seconds, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Five hours later, all the friends who had appeared beside Shangtai Jinni in the past few days were thrown into jail.

Those with status were quickly bailed out and handed over to their families for punishment.

Commoners without status, or those whose status was not good enough to be presented to the public, were all killed by poison.

At the same time, a fast horse entered the city and brought back accurate news that the three brothers, Keber and Shivada, were dead, and their bodies were indeed hung high on the eaves of the palace.

Because it was too high, it could not be taken down at once and was still floating in the wind and snow.

At the same time, more than thirty young children and elderly people were beheaded on the high steps of the palace.

Princess Chiyu's pretty face was cold, and she said calmly, "Only, more than thirty?"

"Well, according to a survivor, more than 80 people escaped."

Princess Chiyu took a deep breath and said, "It is a great blessing. More than 30 people are not too many."

"But after the Xia family army left the palace and Qingquan Town, they headed south, burning, killing and looting all the way. The grasslands south of Qingquan Town were littered with corpses, and at least 3,000 civilians died tragically at the hands of the Xia family army. Including those who died in Qingquan Town because they didn't have time to escape in time, the Xia family army killed more than 8,000 of us in the past two days."

Princess Akajama clenched her fingers into fists.

  Ali, have you become a butcher?

Aren’t you a person who doesn’t kill people?

"We have to send all our assassins to deal with her," Princess Chiyu said, "She killed civilians without blinking an eye, and she will definitely not show mercy when facing a real army. I have to get to know her again, Ali." (End of this chapter)
