Chapter 491 They Said They Were Looking for the Princess

Wang Er and the others were dumbfounded.

They just disagree with Jiang Zhi, but they don't want to see him die!

Wang Er hesitated for a moment: "General, it's our fault too. We should attack Jiang Zhi first, otherwise you..."

Chen Shaobei looked over with cold and stern eyes.

"If you say one more word, I'll get ten more sticks."

Wang Er didn't dare to say anything anymore, and he and the other soldiers went to receive their punishment in despair.

Jiang Zhi followed Chen Shaobei until he entered the study.

"Close the door." Chen Shaobei said coldly.

The soldiers standing outside the door saw Chen Shaobei bending down and taking out a box. When he opened it, they saw a whip with barbs.

sky……

Jiang Zhi is going to be whipped!

In the room, Jiang Zhi looked at the whip in the box and was also startled.

If Chen Shaobei really slapped her, should she run away?

Reason told her that she should run, but now she was a soldier who had made a mistake and should be punished and obey the general's orders.

While Jiang Zhi was hesitating, Chen Shaobei took away the whip, took a medicine bottle from it, and threw it directly to Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi was startled and hurriedly held it. She thought it was a hidden weapon, but she took a closer look.

"This...is this ointment?"

Chen Shaobei's attitude was cold and calm: "I see you have a nosebleed. You must have been punched. Go back and check it yourself. Apply it wherever there is bruise on your body. This is the secret medicine of the palace and it works quickly."

Jiang Zhi held the porcelain bottle tightly, feeling surprised.

"General, you won't punish me for being humble?"

"You didn't do anything wrong in this matter. What should I punish you for? I made a mistake in asking you to help Miss Su. You fought with Wang Er and the others to protect yourself. You didn't cause trouble in the first place, so you are right. ”

After Chen Shaobei finished speaking, he sat down, took out a scroll of bamboo slips and started reading.

Jiang Zhi hadn't left yet, she was stunned in place.

Chen Shaobei raised his eyes and met her eyes: "What, you insist that I punish you? Beat you twice?"

Jiang Zhi immediately shook her head: "No, no, no, I just want to say that the general is wise and brave, I will leave now."

She turned to leave, but at this moment, Chen Shaobei called out to her.

"You can leave later. After you go out, if others ask you how I will punish you, you don't have to say anything. Just act like you have learned a painful lesson."

Jiang Zhi blinked, and she suddenly understood.

Chen Shaobei was worried that he punished Wang Er and the others, but did not punish her, leaving Wang Er and those stupid people to worry about it.

For a moment, she actually felt that Chen Shaobei was very careful and considerate.

"Thank you General." She stayed.

But he stood dutifully and didn't sit anywhere.

Chen Shaobei asked her to sit down, and she sat on the chair obediently, with an upright posture, as if practicing military skills.

He chuckled to himself and simply let her go.

During this period, Chen Shaobei was reading military documents on bamboo slips, and Jiang Zhi was silent except for drinking tea.

She couldn't help but look at Chen Shaobei not far away.

His lowered eyebrows were tall and dark, and he held a bamboo slip in his well-jointed hands. His whole body was tall and imposing.

Jiang Zhi became distracted as she watched.

Her father was a bandit king, but when he was alive, he admired heroes from all walks of life.

If he knew Chen Shaobei, he would definitely praise him as a talented man and be proud that his daughter followed such a general, right?

When Jiang Zhi came back to her senses, she found that Chen Shaobei had raised his head and looked at her steadily.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt guilty about being caught, and stood up from the chair.

"General, this humble position is not for you!" She asked herself.

Chen Shaobei had no expression on his face and just nodded lightly: "You can leave. The time for one stick of incense has passed. Remember what I told you."

"Yes!" Jiang Zhi left hand and foot.

Looking at her back, Chen Shaobei shook his head and laughed secretly.

Jiang Zhi returned to her tent. When the sky was dark, Wang Er and the others held her waist and walked into her tent.

Seeing her sitting upright, Wang Er was shocked: "General, didn't he punish you?"

They came here specially to visit her. They originally thought that Jiang Zhi would be beaten to death when he came out of Chen Shaobei's study.

But looking at him like this, it didn't look like he was injured at all.

Jiang Zhi remembered Chen Shaobei's explanation and raised her head, her eyes suddenly filled with resentment.

Wang Er and others were stunned.

"The general punished me severely. I...I don't even want to live anymore." She imitated Su Zhirou's tone, looking like she had seen through life and death but hesitated to speak.

In the end, Jiang Zhi simply lay down on the table, her shoulders hunched slightly, as if she was crying silently.

Wang Er and others were shocked.

This must have been such a beating that all the rebellious temperament in Jiang Zhi was gone.

Wang Er walked over and couldn't help but care, wanting to pat her on the shoulder.

As soon as his big hand was put on it, Jiang Zhi screamed: "Ouch! It hurts!"

Wang Er was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand.

Jiang Zhi covered her shoulders: "Don't touch it, it hurts so much, ugh, it's hard to explain..."

Seeing her like this, Wang Er and the others felt a sense of sympathy.

It would have been nice if there hadn't been a fight. They thought that getting slapped was already a heavy punishment, but they didn't expect that Jiang Zhi was locked up and beaten even harder!

General Chen is indeed a ruthless man!

When Wang Er and the others returned to the camp, they quickly sent some of the ointments they had saved to Jiang Zhi.

A group of young men, who were not fully healed from the stick wounds, rushed to get Jiang Zhi water and help her wash her clothes.

This made Jiang Zhi feel a little embarrassed.

Chen Shaobei passed by the area several times and saw that they were getting along well, so he nodded gently.

*

On the day when Shen Ningning entertained the envoys of Changliu Kingdom, the Qingmeng Garden was full of guards.

Xiumu only brought two guards with him, one of whom had eyes like lion pupils, with a faint brown color.

Shen Ningning looked at him for a few more times, and the guard felt the gaze, and when he met her eyes, he actually gave Shen Ningning a glare.

The girl blinked her round eyes, and when he looked at her next time, she decisively rolled her eyes at him.

Even!

Tuoye over there was a little angry.

At the dinner table, Xiumu toasted and exchanged cups, smiling harmoniously.

Just like a relative from afar, talking about interesting things in his hometown.

Mo Lingwei sat in the main seat, with a cold face and no words, and occasionally taking care of Shen Ningning beside him.

Xie Suzhi listened to Xiumu's words with a calm expression, occasionally responding with a smile.

Finally, Xiumu talked about the purpose of their trip.

"In fact, the reason why King Da Ri sent me to bring the Zhen Tianzhu to seek peace this time is also for one thing. We just learned not long ago that the daughter of King Da Ri, our tenth princess, was separated from Cang Yun Country when she was born."

"This time, I came here in the hope that Your Highness the Princess can mobilize her own power to help us find this princess who was lost among the people. Our King Da Ri will be grateful."

Mo Lingwei frowned: "How could your princess end up in Cang Yun Country?"

Xiumu smiled slightly: "Because the mother of the tenth princess is actually from Cang Yun Country."

Eighteen years ago, when the tenth princess was just born, she was told by the Taoist priest that she must stay away from her biological father in order to survive because of her weak body.

So she was sent back to her mother's distant home to be raised.

But unexpectedly, when Cang Yun Country suffered a drought, the world was in chaos, and the family lost the tenth princess on the way to escape.

King Da Ri always thought his daughter was dead.

But recently, he received an anonymous letter saying, "The letter said that our tenth princess is in Cangyun Country and is living in the capital, so King Da Ri sent us here."

Xie Suzhi looked at Shen Ningning and suddenly wondered if King Da Ri and his men had just made up a story based on Shen Ningning's experience?

Until Tuoye said coldly, "The tenth princess is about seventeen or eighteen years old this year. If you use this age as a check, you will have a chance to find the princess when you start looking."

It's 2024! 2023 is completely over, and all the unhappiness in the past is goodbye! Now we usher in a brand new year, full of happiness and wealth! Every day is a good mood! Every day is good luck!
