Chapter 170 Asking the Princess to Take Me In
"Who are you? How dare you hit our carriage so boldly?" The guard questioned the uninvited guests in front of him with his eyes wide open and a stern voice. He held the long sword tightly in his hand, as if he was ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
"Please calm down, my good man! We really had an urgent matter to attend to and had no choice but to ram your carriage. Please have mercy on us and let us go." Li Daniu's face was full of flattery. While saying nice things, he winked at the brothers behind him.
A man with a scar on his face reluctantly took out the few remaining silver coins from his arms and said with concern: "Brother Daniu, this is the only money we have left after buying the carriage. If we give it all to them, I'm afraid we won't even be able to have a cup of hot tea on the rest of the journey!" However, he had no choice but to hand over the silver coins.
"Forget it. You are lucky that no casualties were caused this time. However, I need to report this matter to the Lord, and he will decide how to deal with you." The guard snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, looking for Lingyi to come and deal with the matter.
At this moment, Lingyi came riding over, wanting to know what happened. After the guards reported the incident in detail, Lingyi dismounted, walked quickly to the carriage, and carefully checked the damage to the vehicle.
"Oh, it's you, big brother! It's really like a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple - family members don't recognize each other! I hope that big brother can show mercy and forgive our reckless behavior this time." The scarred man immediately smiled when he saw Lingyi, and his attitude became unusually respectful.
"It's you! Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry? Look, the axle of the carriage has been broken!" Lingyi frowned and stared at the people in front of him sternly.
"Brother, where is the princess? We are here to follow her. Please introduce her to us.
Jing Zichu gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and glanced outside casually, but happened to catch a glimpse of Yun Yuxi standing not far away, with a face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: Could something have happened? Thinking of this, he jumped off the carriage quickly and neatly.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Look at your expression, you look like you are unsatisfied! Are you missing your brother?" Jing Zichu teased deliberately with a playful smile on his face.
"Jing Zichu, shut up! Who's unsatisfied? Believe it or not, I will poison you right now and make you mute!" Yun Yuxi glared at him fiercely, replied unhappily, and rolled her eyes.
Hearing this, Jing Zichu couldn't help but chuckle softly. He reached out and touched his nose, then followed closely behind Yun Yuxi.
As he walked, he muttered to himself, "My sister-in-law is so fierce and aggressive, I wonder if Brother Zimo can handle it. Haha, it really makes me laugh to death. The thought that the usually majestic Brother Zimo would be suppressed by my sister-in-law... Hehehe, if Brother Zimo knew what I was thinking at this moment, I'm afraid I would be beaten up by him again.
However, this couple is not easy to deal with, they are both extremely treacherous. I don’t know who will be in trouble today, I have to follow them to see the fun.”
Thinking of this, Jing Zichu silently lit a candle for the guy who was about to be in trouble. Then he put on an expression as if waiting to see a joke and continued to follow Yun Yuxi forward.
"Follow this princess?"
Yun Yuxi, who happened to be walking by, looked at Scarface and his group with a confused look on her face.
Ling Yi explained the whole cause and effect of the matter to Yun Yuxi in a few words, and Yun Yuxi nodded in sudden enlightenment, indicating that she had completely understood the reason.
At this moment, a faint murmur was heard: "Sister-in-law is really amazing! She has gained a little fan in such a short time. I wonder if brother will feel a sense of crisis because of this..." The person who spoke was Jing Zichu. He thought his voice was very soft, but Yun Yuxi, who had sharp ears, still heard it.
"Hmph! Zichu, what are you mumbling about there? Do you think I'm deaf?" Yun Yuxi turned her head abruptly, glared at Jing Zichu fiercely, and rolled her eyes at him again without any hesitation.
Jing Zichu, who was caught, was a little flustered and waved his hands to explain: "Sister-in-law, calm down. I definitely didn't mean anything else. Maybe the wind was too loud and blew my voice away, so you heard it wrongly."
"Oh no, no, no, if this goes on, my handsome face will be wrinkled by the wind. I'd better get back to the carriage and play chess with my third brother!" After saying that, without waiting for Yun Yuxi's response, he ran away in a panic like a frightened rabbit.
Here, the few people who were kneeling on the ground just now shouted in unison: "Your Highness Princess, please have mercy on us and take us brothers in! We brothers are loyal to you and are willing to follow you until death and never betray you!" Their words were sincere and their eyes were firm, which moved people.
Zero One, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.
Seeing that the weather is so cold in this cold winter, if these people are allowed to kneel here all the time, their knees will probably be frostbitten in no time.
So, just as Lingyi was about to open his mouth to plead for them, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze shooting at him.
It turned out that Yun Yuxi was staring at him coldly, as if warning him with her eyes not to talk too much. Seeing this, Ling Yi had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Yun Yuxi looked up at the boundless sky, her eyes revealing a hint of depth and resentment. She slowly opened her lips and whispered:
"All of you should stand up and tell me why you want to follow me. You must know that not everyone can be competent under my command."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Li got off the carriage with difficulty, supported carefully by Li Daniu.
After he stood firm, he straightened his spine, looked firmly into Yun Yuxi's beautiful and sharp eyes, and responded earnestly:
"I beg the princess to test us! If my brothers can successfully pass this test, I hope the princess will grant us a precious opportunity."
Hearing this, Yun Yuxi nodded slightly to indicate her agreement, and then asked:
"Then first, please explain in detail why you decided to follow me. Secondly, explain whether there is a specific purpose behind your actions? Only if you give a reasonable answer that satisfies me will I consider giving you the opportunity to accept the test."
After saying that, she quietly waited for the other party's reply, as if she wanted to see through their words to see their true thoughts deep in their hearts.
