The killers who were chasing him stood on the edge of the cliff in a daze, feeling the cold wind blowing. They were unable to react for a moment. One of them was silent for a moment before speaking.
"You say that since they are so brave, we should go to the bottom of the cliff to look for their bodies. At least death is the greatest thing, so let them rest in peace?"
The other killers had no objections. When they were about to go look for the bodies, an accomplice came up and said, "We've all been fooled."
"The boss sent a message saying that the princess we are chasing is a fake one. The real princess is almost at the last city on the border. Hurry and chase her."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. No wonder they jumped off the cliff so easily. It turned out that they did it to conceal their identities. These maids were loyal, but they died just like that.
It's still a bit sad. Since Princess Xiao is gone, there's no need to collect the bodies. Just go and chase her quickly, even if you can't kill Princess Xiao.
They didn't know if anyone would come to collect their bodies! They all rode at full speed towards the small border town where Qian Jiujiu was.
Qian Jiujiu sat in the carriage and took a rest. She was indeed a little tired, and the feeling just now had passed. Qian Jiujiu frowned.
I always felt that something bad had happened, but I couldn't tell what it was. At this time, Xiaoman outside had already started preparing today's food.
"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat."
Fatty Jiujiu was helped down by Hongling. When he was about to start eating, Gu Xiangning, who had been following him these days, appeared again and chuckled twice.
"Hey Fatty, it's fate that we met, how about we have a meal together?"
Fatty Jiujiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him: "I say, you look delicate and tender, how come you are so shameless? You have been following us all the time, just to get a free meal?"
Gu Xiangning touched the back of his head and said, "Well, that bowl of snake soup is really wonderful. I can't forget it. Fatty, please help me."
Qian Jiujiu moved his mouth twice, snorted twice, and the flesh under his chin shook. He looked at Gu Xiangning: "Tsk tsk, brother, you are a big foodie."
Gu Xiangning's eyes flashed with doubt, and then he clasped his fists again: "Please teach me, Fatty, what does a foodie mean?"
Fatty Jiujiu rolled his eyes and laughed: "He's just a guy who only cares about eating."
Xiaoman burst out laughing and looked at Qian Jiujiu. How could this person fool people like this? Look at Gu Xiangning's face, he looked confused, no, he looked serious.
He was obviously thinking about something, and then he had an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face: "Fatty's understanding is really amazing, but I would like to give you an explanation."
"Although Gu likes to eat, he still has high requirements for eating. Gu Mei wants to eat delicious food. And Gu is not just about eating. Gu is actually very capable."
When Fatty Jiujiu heard what Gu Xiangning said, he rolled his eyes curiously: "So what do you know?"
Gu Xiangning immediately looked excited: "Hey, Fatty, come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Ming Cult Gu Xiangning."
"I'm 17 years old, single, and I'm proficient in all kinds of skills. I can also heal the sick and save lives. Of course, I can also eat. In general, except for cooking, nothing else can stop me."
Fatty Jiujiu and Hongling looked at each other. It seemed that this guy should not be underestimated. Before Fatty Jiujiu could say anything, he heard Xiaoman sneer.
"You sound so impressive, and you think you can do all kinds of things, right? Then let me test you."
Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman with pride: "What's the big deal, little girl, just ask the questions."
Xiaoman curled the corners of her lips and smiled innocently: "If you have the ability, go to the sky and fly. You are not allowed to come down before half an hour, and you are not allowed to find a place to stop in the middle. You can only fly for half an hour."
As soon as these words fell, Gu Xiangning's face darkened. Isn't this a sincere embarrassment? The other gold, silver and copper also pursed their lips, trying hard to restrain themselves from laughing out loud.
I let you brag, and now you've boasted yourself to the sky. Let's see how you fly
Seeing Gu Xiangning not moving, Xiaoman snorted coldly: "Why, why don't you fly?"
Gu Xiangning looked helpless: "Little girl, you are making things difficult for me. Who can fly in the air for half an hour?"
Xiaoman curled her lips: "Didn't you say it yourself? The Eighteen Martial Arts are all connected. Flying is also a kind of Qinggong. So, I'm telling you, don't brag if you don't know how to do it."
"Be honest with me. I can't do anything else except cooking."
Gu Xiangning's eyes lit up as he listened: "So, don't we complement each other perfectly?"
Xiaoman glanced at Gu Xiangning with some displeasure: "Who wants to be with you and us? You are just a beggar, and you want to be with us, bah, I will tell you."
"What about you! After eating this meal, get out of here right away. If you follow us again, we will not treat you well."
After this meal and passing through the last city, they would reach the military camp. If a stranger like this continued to follow them, that would be unacceptable. However, Xiaoman watched this man follow them for several days.
There really was no ill will, so he didn't care and generously let him go, which was considered to be fair to him. Gu Xiangning looked at Fatty Jiujiu with a series of grievances.
"Fat Master..."
But Gu Xiangning only shouted once before being interrupted by Xiaoman.
"Fat Master, your sister, ah..."
Xiaoman said this with a "Pah" sound. Fatty Jiujiu's sister, isn't that her? She almost cursed herself. When Fatty Jiujiu and Hongling heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
Xiaoman is really cute sometimes. She looked at Gu Xiangning and said, "I'm telling you, my words represent my father's words. Don't bother my father anymore."
"If you don't believe me, I'll let Er Jin make you look like a fool. If you say another word, you'll lose your meal. Get out of my sight immediately."
Gu Xiangning's mindset at this moment: Should I endure it for the sake of food? Or should I beat up this little girl and then rob her
The two villains were fighting in their hearts, but finally they looked at the shining eyes of the little girl and thought, forget it, I'll just endure it!
In the bathroom, Gu Xiangning stopped talking and sat down, silently waiting for Xiaoman to bring him food. Because of this little episode, everyone was in a good mood.
Then after finishing his meal, he was about to pack up and leave, but this time he heard the sound of a large group of horse hooves approaching, and before he could see clearly what was going on.
They saw a group of people, a group of people wearing black clothes, rushing towards them, then stopped in front of them and took out a portrait.
"Have you seen this man?"
Fatty Jiujiu glanced up and thought, this guy, the person in the portrait is her! The pregnant Princess Xiao with a big belly.
But who the hell drew her so ugly? Did she want to die
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes again, then opened them wide and looked at the other person: "Isn't this Princess Xiao? She is such a stunning beauty, and you painted her like this."
"That painting technique is really bad, and you still show it to others. If I hadn't looked carefully, I would have almost not recognized it."
When the assassins heard that this fat man actually knew Princess Xiao, their eyes lit up: "Don't worry about the painting for now. Let me ask you, where is this Princess Xiao?"
Fatty Jiujiu looked at him with an idiotic look in his eyes: "Are you stupid? How can Princess Xiao be there if she is not in the Xiao Palace?"
"When I left, wasn't Princess Xiao still in the mansion? Why is Princess Xiao missing? Was she captured by the enemy? Oh my, that's terrible."
The leader looked at the fat man who kept talking nonstop and suddenly asked, "What do you do?"
Fatty Jiujiu snorted, "I'm a businessman. I tell you, I sell coffins at the border. The coffin business is good. Do you want to do it?"
"Look at how many of you are. If you want expensive things, Fatty has them too. If you want cheap things, we have them too, but the cheapest is still the straw mat."
Fatty Jiujiu kept saying this, ignoring the other person's ugly face: "Or, if you really don't have money, then each of you can buy a straw mat."
"I always carry it with me as a backup, in case I die without even a straw mat, which is really too shabby."
The leader of the men in black couldn't stand it anymore and raised his knife to attack: "I'm going to kill you, fat bastard."
Fatty Jiujiu shouted, "Stop it, you see, I have people here too. If you dare to touch me, I won't even give you a straw mat."
The hand of the leader of the black-clad men really stopped in mid-air. The people in this team looked like they were not easy to mess with, although they were a little strange. There was a woman, a fat man, and a child, plus a pretty boy and a few strong men.
Such a team is really attractive. If it were Princess Xiao, she would definitely advance stealthily. How could she be so open and aboveboard and dare to challenge
Those words just now sounded like they were going to cause trouble. He put away his knife and snorted, "I have important matters to attend to. You guys are lucky. Let's go!"
As they spoke, the group rode their horses and continued to chase forward. Gu Xiangning looked at the backs of the group of people with some confusion: "What do you think these people want to do with Princess Xiao? What's the important matter?"
"Could it be that Princess Xiao ran away from home while pregnant? Why do I feel that those people in front of me don't look like good people?"
Fatty Jiujiu glanced at Gu Xiangning and said, "So you can read faces? Do you think I look like a good person? But then again, you seem to be quite interested in Princess Xiao? What do you want to do?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Gu Xiangning alone.
