The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 156 The Princess Who Married to a Foreign Country and Struggled to Protect Herself ()

This is the significance of her marriage now. She must be worthy of the respect these people have for her.

Xin Zhuyou, who had been riding closely beside Shui Zhizi's carriage, was suddenly distracted by Shui Zhizi's smile.

There are too many princesses of Lai who are married to foreign countries. However, unlike Princess Dongmeng who married into Lai, most of the princesses of Lai were married to countries in the north that were as powerful as Lai in exchange for other benefits or for a short period of peace.

No princess ever left Lai with a smile on her face.

Pain, sadness, fear, resentment, all kinds of emotions Xin Zhuyou had seen on the faces of those princesses who were married off, except smiles.

But Shui Zhizi is different. Even though she knows that she is of noble status and Laiguo dare not neglect her, she will not laugh.

Even Emperor Dong Meng had tears in his eyes when Shui Zhizi said goodbye.

Maybe Shui Zhizi was pretending to be strong because she didn't want to make the people in Dong Meng worry, Xin Zhuyou thought.

Shui Zhizi got off the carriage, performed a standard salute to the people at the city gate, then got on the carriage and let the team continue.

The team was very long. In addition to Shui Zhizi's endless dowry, the Dong Meng delegation, there was also the wedding army sent by the Dong Meng Emperor himself.

These troops will continue to deliver water gardenias to the State of Lai.

It is absolutely safe in Dongmengshui Gardenia, but if you go north from Dongmeng, you will pass through two other countries that have always been in conflict with Lai State.

Even within the territory of Lai, there were a few people who disregarded the overall interests of Lai and tried to sabotage the marriage.

Therefore, Emperor Dongmeng would let the Dongmeng army deliver the water gardenia safely to the territory of Lai State, but after all, they were an army and they would not follow the delegation into the capital of Lai State.

In other words, after arriving in Lai State, Shui Zhizi's safety will be the sole responsibility of Xin Zhuyou and others.

But this is very good for Xin Zhuyou. After all, with Dong Meng's army to deter the other two countries on the route, most of the problems have been solved.

Dongmeng has a vast territory, and Xin Zhuyou had experienced it once when he came to Dongmeng. When he left, Xin Zhuyou experienced the respect that the people of Dongmeng had for the eldest princess Shui Zhizi.

Xin Zhuyou thought that Shui Zhizi only had such a great reputation and influence in Dongmengjing City.

But in fact, they traveled across the territory of Dongmeng for nine months, and every time they arrived at a town, local officials and people would come to bid farewell to their eldest princess.

It was not until they left Dongmeng that they finally sped up their pace, and everyone in the team became extremely vigilant and serious.

The area around Shui Zhizi was always full of people. Even Xin Zhuyou, the bride-welcoming person from Lai State, had to go through layers of inspection and notification before seeing Shui Zhizi.

Everyone in Dongmeng protected the water gardenia like a treasure, and the manpower prepared by Lai State was almost useless.

But even with such vigilance, the wedding procession was still attacked. At the border between Yan State and Beiying State, a team went straight for the most magnificent carriage in the middle of the wedding procession.

But they had no power to fight due to the layers of protection and were captured by Dong Meng's soldiers in less than a quarter of an hour.

Left him alive.

For the first time, Shui Zhizi took the initiative to ask someone to find Xin Zhuyou on the road.

"Third Prince, is there any country between Yan and Beiying that your Lai country wants to cooperate with?"

Xin Zhuyou shook his head as he looked at the dozen people who were firmly controlled by Dong Meng's soldiers. These two countries and Lai State have been fighting openly and secretly, and there is no way they can cooperate.

"Did the princess find out which country it is from?"

"Since there is no one to cooperate with, there is no need to ask."

Before Xin Zhuyou had the chance to ask Shui Zhizi what she meant, he heard Shui Zhizi's calm voice.

"Kill him, and send half of his body to the gates of the two countries. We must let them know that it was we, Dong Meng, who killed him."

Xin Zhuyou was not surprised by Dong Meng's behavior.

Any of the three major countries on this continent has the confidence to completely ignore these small countries in the north.

Therefore, if Lai and Dong Meng make peace, other northern countries will definitely try to sabotage it.

But Xin Zhuyou never thought that such an order would come from Shui Zhizi's mouth.

Moreover, there was no expression on Shui Zhizi's face when she said this, as if this was a very common thing.

Xin Zhuyou suddenly realized that his previous worries were unnecessary.

Shui Zhizi was not as kind as he thought. She was fully capable of protecting herself.

"Third Prince, there's nothing wrong. Let's continue on our journey."

After giving the order, Shui Zhizi turned around and spoke to Xin Zhuyou as if nothing had happened.

Xin Zhuyou nodded and went out in silence.

Shui Zhizi looked at Xin Zhuyou's back and blinked in surprise.

The famous military advisor of Lai State seems to be quite kind.

Shui Zhizi is not a murderer. On the contrary, she made this decision to discourage those who still wanted to assassinate her.

This would prevent more deaths. Otherwise, if those people kept coming, her Dongmeng soldiers might also be lost.

It’s just that the surprise in Xin Zhuyou’s eyes when he looked at her just now was too obvious.

"Yingfu, quickly get me another piece of clothing." Shui Zhizi shouted as she got on the carriage.

The journey lasted nine months, and it got colder and colder, so Shui Zhizi kept adding clothes along the way.

Yingfu felt very distressed. Just now, when the princess got off the carriage, she took off her outer clothes in order not to lose her momentum.

As soon as I got on the carriage, I started shaking uncontrollably.

"Princess, General Gu said that it will only get colder when we arrive in Lai Country." The princess has always been afraid of the cold, and Yingfu doesn't know how she will live in the future.

"Then let the team move faster. The sooner we reach Lai Country, the sooner the soldiers can return."

"Okay, I'll go and tell you right away."

Yingfu got off the carriage and went to tell General Gu the princess' instructions. On his way back, he almost cried when he saw that there was no green at all.

Tomorrow is the princess’ birthday, and in a month it will be the New Year of Dongmeng.

Because the princess' birthday is special and the New Year is approaching, Princess Dongmeng's birthday is always celebrated with great fanfare.

The palace is lively and warm every time on this day.

But I wonder how many people still remember this day now.

A month later, they arrived at Lai State, and by then all the soldiers and envoys from Dong Meng had returned.

How would they spend the New Year when only the princess's guards and maids would be left? The Lai Kingdom might not even celebrate the New Year.

Yingfu forced a smile and prepared to get on the carriage, but was stopped by Xin Zhuyou.

"Miss Yingfu, give this coat to your princess to keep her warm. It's new."

Yingfu could naturally tell at a glance that the snow-white fur coat was new, so she did not refuse.

The princess has no shortage of clothes, but a fur coat keeps her warmer.

"Thank you, Third Prince."

Shui Zhizi's eyes lit up when she saw the fur coat in Yingfu's hand. The snow-white color was really beautiful.
