Chapter 185 Princess Nanzhi is missing
Wei Feng and Li Hui led a group of guards to the city gate early, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Yuewu Kingdom delegation. Time passed by, and finally, a group of people appeared in the distance. However, when they gradually approached, everyone was surprised - they saw a dark mass in front of them, as if countless black dots were moving.
Upon closer inspection, these small dots turned out to be rats! They crawled all over the flagpoles and carriages of the entire delegation, and even the bodies of the delegation members were densely covered with rats! This weird and terrifying scene made everyone present dumbfounded and unbelievable.
I originally thought that the rumors about the Yuewu Kingdom delegation and rats were just nonsense, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that the reality is far more bizarre and shocking than the legend. People stared blankly at this team of rats, their hearts filled with fear and confusion: Where did these rats come from? Why did they follow the Yuewu Kingdom delegation? What secrets does this delegation hide?
For a moment, the city gate fell into a deathly silence, with only the rustling of rats echoing in the air. Wei Feng and Li Hui looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Faced with such an incredible scene, they didn't know how to respond...
The people at the city gate were whispering to each other, their eyes were all cast towards the Yuewu Kingdom delegation slowly approaching in the distance, and they were pointing at someone in the team.
"What do you think? Could it be that the eldest princess of Yuewu Kingdom is really the reincarnation of a rat spirit?" a middle-aged man said with a look of suspicion on his face.
"That's right! Otherwise how could she control those disgusting rats?" a woman nearby echoed, with a look of disgust on her face.
"Oh my! I get goose bumps just thinking about it. It's so disgusting!" Another young woman complained with a frown, "I have heard of people who can attract butterflies to fly around, just like the little princess of Youli Kingdom. The scene was so dreamy! It was like a fairy descending to earth!"
"In my opinion, this princess of Yuewu must be extremely ugly!" someone else interrupted, "otherwise how could she be related to mice?"
There were bursts of laughter and sighs from the crowd. Everyone was full of curiosity and contempt for the upcoming Grand Princess of Yuewu Kingdom.
"I heard that she came here for the purpose of marriage..." Someone suddenly said this.
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding area immediately exploded:
"What? Marriage? Oh my god, which prince is so unfortunate to marry such an ugly woman?"
"It's such bad luck! If she really marries into the royal family, wouldn't it bring shame to our country?"
For a time, people were talking about it, and all kinds of speculations and rumors spread like wildfire. However, the Yuewu country's delegation continued to move forward under people's strange gazes, seemingly unaffected by these remarks.
There were countless rats between Wei Feng and the Yuewu Kingdom delegation. The rats squeaked and made people shudder. Faced with such a situation, Wei Feng was extremely anxious, but he had no other choice but to shout at the Yuewu Kingdom ambassadors: "My Lords! I will send someone to take you to the posthouse to rest!"
However, Hu Yanzhuozhuo's cold and firm voice came from the carriage: "I don't need to go to the inn to rest! Speed up and rush to the capital immediately!" Her tone was unquestionable, as if nothing could stop her from moving forward.
In desperation, the Yuewu Kingdom delegation had to temporarily give up the plan to stop in Yuqing. They acted quickly and went to the city to buy some necessary dry food. After preparing sufficient food supplies, they rushed towards Liuyun City without hesitation, without any delay. They were exhausted and kept on going all the way.
After leaving Yuqing, Hu Yanzhuo got off the carriage holding the fat cat. She shouted angrily: "Let the secret guards check for me! Someone must be trying to harm me!"
The eunuch hurriedly walked to the princess and whispered, "Princess, in my opinion, we should not go through the city. It is better to find a quieter path. There are rats everywhere. If others see us, there will inevitably be rumors!"
After hearing this, Hu Yanzhuozhuo couldn't help but frown and think for a moment, then replied: "Well, in that case, let's follow your advice, Eunuch Hua. We will take a small road to bypass Liuyun City and go straight to Luoxia Town!"
At this time, An Junyuan watched the Yuewu Kingdom delegation walk out of Yuqing City without any intention of stopping. He couldn't help but be extremely surprised: "Don't they even have time to rest and eat a meal?"
Seeing this, Luo Lingyue smiled and teased, "Haha, how can they still have the mind to eat? Once they enter the restaurant, I'm afraid it will be filled with rats!" After that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Luo Lingfeng laughed and said, "How pitiful! The eldest princess of Yuewu Kingdom is really loved by mice!"
An Junyuan suggested: "Let's find a restaurant to fill our stomachs first!"
At this moment, Wei Feng came quickly with a group of guards. He came close, bowed to Xiao Jinghan, and then said, "Yuqing Taishou Wei Feng is here to welcome Prince Xiao, General An, and Young Master and Miss Luo!"
Xiao Jinghan's eyes flickered slightly, and his sight immediately fell on the man behind Wei Feng. This man was extremely sturdy and strong, with a face full of uprightness.
Xiao Jinghan asked softly, "Could this be Lord Wei's personal bodyguard?"
Wei Feng laughed when he heard this and replied, "Prince Xiao, you misunderstood. This person is my advisor Li Hui!"
Xiao Jinghan smiled faintly: "So it's Master Li, you must be a man of both wisdom and courage, right? Master Li, I've heard of you for a long time! With a talent like you assisting Lord Wei, Lord Wei will surely rise to prominence in the future!"
Hearing this, Li Hui showed a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly bowed his hands to express his gratitude: "Thanks to Master Xiao for his wise words, I am very grateful!"
Suddenly, a guard came running in with a white dove in his hand. He came to Xiao Jinghan, knelt on one knee, and respectfully handed over the dove: "Prince Xiao! Urgent letter from the capital!"
Xiao Jinghan's heart tightened, and he quickly took the pigeon and took a sealed note from its feet. He frowned, carefully opened the sealed note, and when he unfolded it, his eyes suddenly became solemn.
There were only a few words clearly written on the note: Princess Nanzhi is missing!
Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan was panicked. Princess Nanzhi was a member of the royal family, and her safety was related to the stability of the entire Youli Kingdom. He knew the seriousness of the matter, and turned to face An Junyuan beside him without hesitation, and said anxiously: "Cousin! I must rush back to the capital immediately! There are important matters to be dealt with!"
As he spoke, his tone was filled with anxiety and determination, as if he could not delay even a moment. Seeing this, An Junyuan understood the urgency of the situation and nodded to show his understanding and support.
