The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 1169 Jingning Garrison

Following His Highness down to several cellars, Jiang Jiaoyun felt she had seen enough.

I was still shocked by the tragic state of the women in the cellar.

These beasts don't treat them like human beings at all.

There are quite a few handsome boys among them.

The boys still had wounds on their bodies.

Because even after playing with them, they won't be discovered.

The boys were treated even worse than the girls.

“Miss, I think being torn apart by five horses would be just right; it would be very suitable for the living Marquis of Jinxiang.”

Jiang Jiaoyun rarely spoke during the entire journey.

Along the way, Minglang and Jiang Jiaoyun tied up almost all the remaining villagers in the entire village.

Even toddlers who can barely walk show no mercy.

Each person who was tied up was connected to the other with a rope.

They continued until they rescued all the women and boys trapped in the cellar.

Even so, Minglang was still worried.

I've asked the kitten in my heart more than once.

"Are there any others I've missed? Please help me search along the way, little cat. If they can't leave alive this time, they'll never have another chance."

The clear response was the sound of a kitten running on the roof.

"Master, we found another one. When you come, you'd better bring some anti-inflammatory medicine with you."

Upon hearing this, Minglang understood immediately.

After handing all these people over to Jiang Jiaoyun, Minglang followed the kitten's guidance and walked towards the last child she had overlooked.

When she saw the child, thankfully the situation was much better than she had expected.

He only has some wounds on his body, but otherwise he's fine.

After giving him some basic treatment and administering his medication, Minglang waited until he was dressed before leaving with his men.

She and Jiang Jiaoyun had searched that courtyard long ago, and no one lived there.

It must have been some beast who knew they were coming and hurriedly hid him there.

Would you sell me?

This was the first boy to strike up a conversation with her along the way. When Minglang turned her head and saw the unyielding light in the boy's eyes, she knew that he had not been worn down yet.

"No, I will take you home."

After Minglang finished speaking, there was no sound behind him.

She waited a while, and when she looked back again, the boy was still keeping a distance from her.

“If you don’t believe me, you can turn around and run away right now. We have everyone in this village under our control, and no one can stop you.”

I believe that even if you leave, you'll find a way to protect yourself.

Although he didn't know how the child had been captured, Minglang understood the indomitable light in his eyes.

Despite his injuries, he didn't think of running away or being afraid when he saw Minglang.

Instead, he glared angrily.

The man hid him there but didn't tie him up with a rope, so he wasn't afraid that the boy would run away.

There must be some reason why he has trapped himself in the same place.

"I'm here to find someone. I know you're different from them. Can you help me?"

Minglang turned to look at the child, who was still quite young. Minglang wished he could raze the entire village to the ground right now.

"Okay, I promise you, I will never leave here until I help you find the person you are looking for."

The man nodded vigorously, but Minglang couldn't bear to look into his hopeful eyes.

I don't want to think about what circumstances would drive a boy to risk his life alone just to find his family.

That evening, after Minglang brought the people back, he arranged for them to stay with Ke. Minglang and Jiang Jiaoyun compiled a list of the experiences and reasons why these people were trapped there.

I was busy all night again.

Cries and curses could be heard from outside from time to time.

Minglang knew they were avenging him, and he ignored the commotion outside.

The next day, after daybreak, the yard was spotless.

Judging from the looks of it, they even cleaned up the yard after their revenge.

The next day, Minglang and his group spent their time treating these people.

Trapped in the cellar for several days without food, some people could only manage a few bites of chicken before their stomachs couldn't take it.

Fortunately, they carried enough medicine with them for all of these people.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day, when Minglang's ears twitched, that she heard the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground.

More than one horse.

Minglang and Jiang Jiaoyun exchanged a glance, and Xiang Ke also ran back from the house.

Before long, they saw Li Xianqing riding a horse at the front.

"Miss, I'm back."

Those inside the house who heard the commotion also peeked out to see what was happening. When they saw the army arrive, some people couldn't help but burst into tears.

"This humble general pays his respects to Your Highness... Miss, this humble general is Zhao Hu, the commander of the Jingning garrison. I have come here today with five thousand elite Jingning garrison troops. Please give us your instructions on what to do."

Minglang sized up General Zhao's figure and could tell at a glance that he was a trained fighter.

When his face darkens, he looks very dignified.

"I trouble the soldiers to stay in this village. They can eat whatever they want. Just one thing: make sure the horses and people are well hidden so that they don't get scared away before the enemy even arrives."

This was the first time Zhao Hu had met the Crown Princess. It turned out that what was said about the Crown Princess traveling outside the palace was true.

I wonder if he ever passed through Jingning, where he was stationed.

Fortunately, Jingning doesn't have such scoundrels or people, otherwise his head would be the first to be chopped off.

"Don't worry, Miss. These are the most elite soldiers of Jingning. They will be able to ambush you exactly as you have instructed."

In one more day, those beasts will come to take people away.

Zhao Hu led his men to settle into their rooms and set up camp. Minglang then called Li Xianqing into the room.

Tell me about your route so I can have a better understanding of it.

Li Xianqing pointed to the map and recounted the route she had taken.

"When I went to mobilize troops alone, I took the small paths in the forest, which is why it took me a while."

I feared it wouldn't be safe to guard the nearby troops, and I dared not go to mobilize them with Miss's warrant. So I went further afield to Jingning.

After reviewing Li Xianqing's route, Minglang nodded in approval.

“You did a great job. If you went through such a long and complicated process and those beasts still managed to find out beforehand, then we should think about how big the Marquis of Jinxiang’s business must be.”

Seeing the princess's grim expression, Li Xianqing knew without asking that something must have happened at the manor while she was away.

"You must be tired from your journey. Haven't you eaten yet?"

Li Xianqing nodded.

"Let's go eat first, get some rest and refresh ourselves. If you have any questions, go ask Xiang Ke; she's always happy to answer them."

When Xiang Ke brought in the egg noodles, he happened to hear what His Highness said.

She quietly placed the egg noodles on the table: "Miss hasn't eaten yet either, why don't you have some too?"

After saying that, he pulled Li Xianqing out.

We did not give His Highness any chance to refuse to eat.
