She was not very old, but when she was questioning him solemnly, there was a sense of coercion in her words. Even a person like Gongji, who always held a high position, was momentarily suffocated by her.

He was stunned for a moment, and Fang Qiang smiled to himself: "What did the princess say? Xifan is sincerely establishing an alliance with Zhou Dynasty, so my king specially asked to marry the princess, hoping that the two countries will have a good relationship."

"Everyone in Western Tibet is extremely happy for the princess's trip. How can there be any objection to her welcome?"

"Oh?" Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at the assassin on the ground and asked, "The 'welcome' mentioned by the prime minister is to allow the assassin to run rampant in the land of Xibo and endanger my life?"

"This..." Gongji looked troubled, "The princess and the shrine had a lot of hatred in the past. Since the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been constant assassinations. In this regard, there is really nothing that can be done..."

He has been talking about the shrine from the beginning, and it seems that he has consciously found an excellent person to take the blame.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Is the Prime Minister blaming me for having too many grudges?"

"That's not what I meant..." Gongji shook his head, but the look on his face showed that "you are quite self-aware."

She, Xiao Lingjiang, indeed had a lot of grudges with the Shrine and repeatedly ruined the layout of the Shrine. If not for this, the people of the Shrine would not have tried every means to get rid of her.

Isn't it normal to be assassinated repeatedly?

She just knew in her heart that these assassins were sent by him, so it didn't matter. As long as he didn't admit it, she couldn't put this label on his head.

After all, no one can guarantee that no foreigners have been absorbed into the palace and are lurking in Tibetan affairs.

Xiao Lingjiang's reaction of going around and around to blame the matter on the palace was something Xiao Lingjiang expected.

Back in Akagi, the reason why she told Gongji about the destruction of the shrine in person was because she hoped to use this as a deterrent and ask him to restrain himself and not to do things that were not publicity in secret.

However, after traveling all the way until now, Gongji couldn't sit still anymore.

She couldn't help but sneer: "I would like to remind the Prime Minister again that the shrine has been destroyed."

"The appearance of these assassins is not from the Central Plains. From my point of view, they are more like people with ulterior motives who want to use the name of the temple to do evil things." As she said this, she had a deep meaning. He glanced at Gongji.

Gongji's face stiffened when he heard this. Could it be that Xiao Lingjiang's words were going to completely tear him apart? The area where they are currently is sparsely populated, and the number of Xifan guards in the marriage team is far less than the number of elite soldiers brought by Pei You. If they fight, Xifan will not be able to get a good deal.

His face couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he said with a fake smile: "What the princess said does make some sense. Xifan and Da Zhou are on good terms. Maybe some people don't want to see Da Zhou and Xi Bo being on good terms, and they want to use this to cause chaos."

"In the final analysis, the truth was that I was negligent before. I thought that when I arrived at the border of Xibo, the princess would be much safer, but instead Xiao Xiaoxiao took advantage of the loophole."

He put his right hand on his chest and leaned slightly towards Xiao Lingjiang: "Princess, don't worry. After this incident, I will definitely take extra precautions to protect the princess's safety."

Xiao Lingjiang watched him without blushing and without skipping a beat, blaming the matter on others, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, from now on, I don't need to worry about these assassins in the land of Xibo?"

Gongji felt relieved when he heard this. It seemed that she didn't want to rip off her face directly, so she was aggressive. She just wanted to use this to warn him and avoid the worries of assassins.

He had long known that Xiao Lingjiang was difficult to deal with, but today, he saw what she looked like when she actually fought.

This woman's attainments are indeed far beyond those of ordinary Xuanshi. No wonder, the several layouts of the shrine ended in failure.

He didn't dare to act rashly since he knew that the shrine was destroyed, and waited until now to take the opportunity to set up a trap.

Before taking action, he ordered someone to test the monster in the lake and knew how powerful it was. Even Tuocheng just said that this monster is difficult to deal with.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingjiang was able to get rid of this monster with just the strength of the two of them. Not only did the person he sent to secretly attack him also lost his life, but he also asked her to come to him for questioning.

At this point, Gongji had to bow his head for the time being: "I swear to the gods, from now on in the royal capital, I will never give the little mouse a chance to attack the princess again!" As for what happens when he arrives in the royal capital... he can Didn't say.

Xiao Lingjiang had no intention of pursuing the loopholes in his words, and she did not even take Gongji's oath to heart.

If you really believe Gongji's words and think that you will be worry-free, then you are really stupid.

She looked at Gongji and smiled faintly: "Since the Prime Minister has said so, if any assassin like this comes to me again, I will have to ask the Prime Minister."

"Come to think of it, neither I nor the people of Xibo want to hear the news that I went to Xibo to make peace, but was repeatedly assassinated in the land of Xibo. In this way, the sincerity of Xibo's marriage will inevitably be doubted. …”

The rest of the journey is still long, and it would be really annoying if Gongji couldn't help but make small moves.

Even if he was going to take action, he had to think carefully about how he would explain to Da Zhou afterwards. The Palace of Gods would not let him take the blame.

As for those assassins who are not worthy of publicity, it is better not to send them to her.

Gongji could clearly hear the threats and warnings contained in these words. He pulled his lips and smiled: "This is natural."

Xiao Lingjiang nodded slightly and said humbly: "As long as the Prime Minister remembers it." After saying that, she raised her feet and passed him by, heading towards her tent.

Gongji turned around and watched her figure getting further and further away, his eyes getting darker and darker.

Next time... she will definitely not be left unharmed like this.

The monster in the lake has been eliminated, and everyone no longer worries.

Due to the turmoil caused by the monster, everyone had almost no rest for the whole night, and a lot of things in the camp were disturbed and destroyed. Xiao Lingjiang simply ordered to rest by the lake for another day and night.

On the third day, everyone packed up their things and prepared to set off again.

Just one day and night, countless tender grasses sprouted up on the originally desolate land. The thin grass stalks trembled and the leaves swayed gently in the breeze, becoming the first touch of spring in this place where the chill has not left. .

Everyone couldn't help but marvel when they saw this. They must know that the grasslands they passed through before were still withered and yellow, although there were meadows growing there.

They couldn't help but think of the grass seeds blowing all over the sky that night and the heavy rain falling.

It seems that it was the magic that Princess Yong'an cast at that time that brought this desolate place back to life.

Such methods are truly unprecedented.

Xiao Lingjiang could only ignore the admiration and surprise from everyone. She looked at the color of grass by the lake, her eyes full of tenderness and emotion.

From then on, this place was no longer barren, and the grass sprouted when it was time and planted seeds when it was time.

As for these people, they have their own tasks, and it is time to continue going where they need to go.

She lifted up her skirt and leaned into the carriage.

"Let's go!" Pei You gave the order, and the team continued to move forward in a mighty manner.
