The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 158 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (2)

Is this the reason why Lai State always lost the battles?

If this was the case, Shui Zhizi would have a headache because she knew nothing about fighting or training troops.

Under the protection of the guards, Shui Zhizi pulled Yingfu away far away.

It was not until Shui Zhizi met the man wearing Dong Meng's clothes and smiling at her terrifyingly again that she suddenly understood everything.

Why would people from Lai usually wear Dongmeng clothes, unless it is to please someone.

Moreover, all the people she met along the way were men, so there was nothing Shui Zhizi couldn't understand.

It seemed that the internal strife within Lai was more serious than she had imagined.

No wonder the country's strength has declined in recent years. It turns out that all its energy has been focused on the fight for the throne.

She had just arrived in Lai Country and had already encountered these fancy things. It was obvious that she was prepared. She didn't know what was waiting for her afterwards.

Just like that, Shui Zhizi, who had just come out, returned to her residence with her people.

Shui Zhizi didn't even have the desire to deal with such a ridiculous scheme.

It was obvious that some people in Lai Kingdom did not think that she, the eldest princess, had any ability. Even the means used on her were so low-end.

As a result, I smelled blood as soon as I entered the door.

Xin Zhuyou was assassinated, but Xin Zhuyou had anticipated the situation and had taken precautions.

I didn't suffer any injuries, but I did capture a few people alive.

When Shui Zhizi went to find Xin Zhuyou, Xin Zhuyou had just finished interrogating the assassin.

"How did the interrogation go?" Shui Zhizi asked as she glanced at the bloodstains on Xin Zhuyou's clothes.

"Don't worry, Princess. They are all here for me. No one will attack you once you enter Lai Country."

Shui Zhizi looked at Xin Zhuyou without saying anything. She came to see Xin Zhuyou specifically not to hear the news that she already knew.

"Someone wants to take my place as the bride-welcoming envoy."

Originally everyone thought that the diplomatic mission to Dongmeng was a tough job, and how to bring the princess back to Lai safely was a big problem.

But no one expected that the person Dong Meng wanted to marry was actually the famous eldest princess.

Moreover, Lai Guo didn't have to worry about anything during the escort of the princess, as Dong Meng solved all the problems by himself.

Now that we have arrived in the territory of Lai State, the job of welcoming the bride has become easier, and naturally everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

Shui Zhizi stroked her forehead, this vegetable country is really a mess.

"So this is where the matter ends?"

At least he wants to get married, so he must be King Lai's man just like Xin Zhuyou.

I heard that King Lai has very little help now, so King Lai will probably choose to turn a blind eye.

Even if the mastermind behind the incident is brought to justice, it will be difficult to impose any substantial punishment.

Xin Zhuyou was stunned for a moment. Princess Dongmeng seemed to have already known the situation in Lai State clearly.

"Not necessarily. Maybe there are other people trying to take advantage of the situation. If I die, it will be good for many people."

Hearing this, Shui Zhizi felt a little sympathy for Xin Zhuyou.

"Why did you take this job in the first place?" There was no ambition to move up in Xin Zhuyou's eyes. He didn't have to take the risk.

Xin Zhuyou was silent for a while before answering Shui Zhizi's question.

"If the marriage between the two countries goes smoothly, many fewer people will die in Laos."

Shui Zhizi was a little surprised. "In short, you are doing this for the people of Lai?"

Xin Zhuyou nodded.

"So the Third Prince believes that your current king is someone who can protect the people of Lai?"

Shui Zhizi stared at Xin Zhuyou with burning eyes, fearing that Xin Zhuyou was lying.

If the current King Lai is worthy of that position, she, as a princess married into a foreign kingdom, will have fewer risks in the future.

Shui Zhizi doesn't want to see her husband being pushed off the stage, and then what to do next becomes a problem.

"Yes, Your Majesty is a strong ruler and is currently the most suitable monarch for Lai."

Tough means, this word is not a good word at certain times.

However, it is enough to know that King Lai is quite suitable for that position. Now Shui Zhizi has to consider how to reach the capital of Lai with less trouble.

It had only been one day since they arrived in Lai State, and all kinds of means had been used against them. Shui Zhizi didn't want to waste time dealing with them along the way.

"Third Prince, why don't we split up into two groups and reunite when we get to the capital of Lai."

In the days to come, Xin Zhuyou will face many assassinations.

"Princess, please forgive me. I must follow you closely."

He cannot escape blame for what happened to Princess Dongmeng that he could not see.

Shui Zhizi glanced at Xin Zhuyou who was in a difficult situation, and wanted to say that she would not run away so that Xin Zhuyou didn't need to worry.

But then they thought, after all, they were unfamiliar with the country of Lai, and it would be impossible for them to rush to the capital city without the company of reliable people from Lai.

"Third Prince, are the people you brought with you reliable?"

"They all fought together with me on the battlefield. They are absolutely trustworthy."

"Then we should split our forces into two groups. The people you lead, Prince San, and our Dongmeng envoys will enter the capital openly.

You, me, and my personal guards must hide your identities and pretend to be ordinary people to travel.

We don’t need to rest, let’s set off directly and wait until we reach the capital to meet up and rest.”

Xin Zhuyou was about to say something when he was interrupted by Shui Zhizi.

“Don’t worry, Third Prince. Any of my personal guards is as skilled as you in martial arts.

We have just set foot on the territory of Lai State, and no one knows how many people I have brought with me. A few dozen people missing from the team should not be a problem.

And we face less danger in hiding our identities.”

Xin Zhuyou did not refuse again. Most of the troubles nowadays were directed at him. He already felt a little guilty and he did not want to annoy Princess Dongmeng again.

In this way, Shui Zhizi and Yingfu changed into Lai country's clothes and separated from the main force under the leadership of Xin Zhuyou.

As there were few people and they did not bring any supplies, and there were no people with ulterior motives blocking their way, they traveled much faster.

But it is not completely without danger.

There are many refugees and bandits in Lai State.

Shui Zhizi listened to the sound of fighting outside again, and suddenly missed home and Dong Meng very much.

The situations in Lai and Dongmeng are really very different.

Not long ago, Shui Zhizi was still feeling sad about the groups of refugees she saw, and the next moment they were blocked by bandits.

Shui Zhizi has encountered such situations several times along the way.

If it weren't for the guards protecting her, Shui Zhizi would have difficulty protecting herself.

Now Shui Zhizi has begun to doubt whether she really has the ability to change the current situation in Lai State?

"Princess, the third prince is injured again." Yingfu had a worried look on his face the whole way.

"Let the doctor see him." Shui Zhizi was very glad that she listened to the delegation official and brought a doctor.

Xin Zhuyou left his own people with the delegation, so he would go there alone whenever there was danger.

In addition, he always felt sorry for those people and was injured several times along the way.

"Give the heater to the injured. The weather is very cold and frostbite is very troublesome."
