The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world.

Chapter 653: Stone Guanyin Appears

Jin Banhua and Princess Pipa were walking in the oasis.

Princess Pipa asked expectantly, "Are you really going to help my father restore his kingdom?"

Jin Banhua asked back, "I see your father has a plan already, right?"

Princess Pipa nodded and shook her head, "I don't know, it seems that there is, but he didn't tell me anything, and... it seems that he encountered some obstacles."

Jin Banhua asked leisurely, "So did he come up with any solution?"

"I did!"

"What did you think?"

"I want to ask you for help!"

"beg me?"

"Yes!" Princess Pipa nodded, "It seems that Chu Liuxiang owes you a favor and asks you for help. They will help you, right?"

"I didn't expect your father to have such a keen eye." Jin Banhua said in surprise, "I thought your father would think of some way to win them over."

Princess Pipa smiled and said, "He does want to, but I think it's enough to just win you over."

Jin Banhua raised her eyebrows, "How is he going to win me over?"

"He has given you all his most precious treasures, what else do you want?" Princess Pipa said angrily.

"He knows?" asked Jin Banhua.

Princess Pipa said faintly, "I haven't told him yet."

Jin Banhua looked at Princess Pipa in surprise again. She didn't expect that she was a rational pessimist.

In the original book, the King of Kucha was considered a small hero.

After he was driven out of the city of Kucha by the traitor, he did not put up a fierce resistance immediately, which bought him some time. On the one hand, he pretended to be extremely incompetent and seemed to only want to protect himself, while on the other hand, he threw out a bait of the Star of Bliss to attract attention and delay time.

In fact, he had already sent people to take out the treasures of his homeland, secretly bribed five armies, and successfully defeated the rebels.

And he didn't tell Princess Pipa about all this.

Therefore, Princess Pipa did not know about the King of Kucha's plan to restore the country, and the King of Kucha's apparent stupidity also deceived Princess Pipa.

In Princess Pipa's eyes, perhaps they had no hope of restoring their country and were just struggling in vain. Perhaps after wandering in the desert for a while, the new king would send people to hunt them down and kill them.

Princess Pipa's daily happiness was just to enjoy the last days of her life. She tried her best to protect the King of Kucha, which was just doing her best and leaving the rest to fate.

That is why Princess Pipa in the original novel devoted herself to Chu Liuxiang, and later followed Hu Tiehua to exchange for the Star of Bliss. These were all actions influenced by this mentality.

Now Jin Banhua came before Chu Liuxiang. He is handsome, humorous, and skilled in martial arts. Moreover, he can help the King of Kucha, so naturally he replaced Chu Liuxiang.

From morning till now, Princess Pipa has not even looked at Chu Liuxiang once.

Jin Banhua is very happy!
"Don't worry, your father will definitely be able to successfully restore the country."

"Are you comforting me?"

"Of course not, because I can see confidence in your father's eyes."

"what?"

"You don't understand. I've seen many people like your father in the capital." Jin Banhua said, "Once he loses power, whether he will sink or make a comeback can be seen from his eyes."

"For those who have no backup plan, even if they put on a brave face, there will be no light in their eyes." Jin Banhua said, "For those who have a backup plan, they may pretend to be frustrated on the surface, but there is a sharp edge hidden in their eyes."

Jin Banhua said to Princess Pipa, "Your father is the latter kind of person." "Really?" Princess Pipa was a little confused, "But my father seemed to have placed his hopes on a gem called the Star of Bliss, but something unexpected happened to that gem."

Jin Banhua patted Princess Pipa on the shoulder and said, "You have to trust your father. It's a good thing that he doesn't tell you anything."

Princess Pipa asked, "Why?"

"Because this means that things are not so bad that he would ask you to explain his final affairs." Jin Banhua said with a smile.

Princess Pipa looked at Jin Banhua with shining eyes, "What you said makes sense!"

Jin Banhua laughed out loud. With the original work as a reference, he is a living god who can tell fortunes!
"But your father is now threatened by the masters of the Central Plains. Are you really not planning to win over Chu Liuxiang and the others?" Jin Banhua asked again.

Princess Pipa chuckled and said, "Don't tell me, Hu Tiehua has a bold personality. My sister really has some feelings for him, but she is hesitant and has never expressed it."

Jin Banhua raised her eyebrows, "Your sister?"

Princess Pipa looked at Jin Banhua with a teasing look in her eyes, "My sister, do you want to meet her?"

"I don't want to." Jin Banhua shook her head decisively.

Princess Pipa smiled and shook her head, "My sister is introverted and has a low self-esteem, so she rarely comes out on weekdays and only stays behind to take care of the princess."

"Princess..." Jin Banhua finally heard the name.

"The princess is not my biological mother, but she treats me very well. It's just that she can't stand the hardship of traveling and occasionally catches a cold. She is recuperating now and seldom leaves the tent." Princess Pipa said.

Jin Banhua nodded, not knowing whether she was still the princess at this moment.

At this moment, a guard appeared in front of the two of them, "The prince invites the princess and Mr. Jin to the big tent for dinner."

Princess Pipa looked at the sky and asked, "Is it still early?"

The guard said, "The princess wants to meet the warriors from the Central Plains, but although her illness has improved slightly, she still cannot stand the night wind, so the prince arranged the dinner earlier."

"So that's how it is. Let's go quickly then?" Princess Pipa said to Jin Banhua.

Jin Banhua took a deep breath and knew that the princess had been replaced.

Because the real Princess of Kucha would never be interested in warriors from the Central Plains.

The princess at this time has become Stone Guanyin.

So, who does Shi Guanyin want to see, Chu Liuxiang and the other two, or herself?

Jin Banhua thought about it. After all, Du Huan was also her man, but he was defeated by her in one move. He wouldn’t pay attention to her and prepare to deal with her, right?
How is she going to deal with herself?

Could it be the same method used against Hu Tiehua?
Jin Banhua stroked her chin and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go quickly!"

……

When Jin Banhua arrived at the big tent, Chu Liuxiang and the other two had already arrived.

Hu Tiehua was making a big promise in front of the King of Kucha, "Don't worry, since we drank your wine, we will ensure that you are safe. Those masters that the traitors can hire with money are definitely not our opponents."

The King of Kucha smiled happily and thanked him repeatedly.

However, when Jin Banhua looked around, she found that Du Huan, Situ Liuxing and Wang Chong were all gone. Only the Wu brothers were present. However, after hearing what Hu Tiehua said, their faces looked unhappy.

The next moment, footsteps were heard from behind the big tent, and a graceful and beautiful woman in a white gauze dress, with slightly dishevelled hair, a noble demeanor but a slightly sickly look, walked in.

Princess of Kucha, Stone Guanyin of the Desert, here we are!
