Chapter 349: No Substantial Mistakes Made
Chapter 349: No Substantial Mistakes Made
Dongzi explained hurriedly, "Master, we really weren't the first to start. We were stopped at the city gate. The gatekeepers kept stopping us and asking us questions. We finally got into the city and asked questions all the way to the Regent's Palace. The people in the palace didn't even ask us questions and just drove us away."
"That's right, master. We didn't do anything even though we did that. We even told them that our master is the mistress of your palace, but they still didn't believe us and said they would take action if we didn't leave. How could we tolerate such humiliation, right?" Loach felt aggrieved, and kept glancing at the guards who had just been tied up by them.
The guards felt even more wronged, but they had no reason to refute. They really did not let these people into the palace, mainly because these people were too scary, and each of them was very arrogant, talking at the same time, and the noise was as noisy as a vegetable market.
This is the Prince Regent's Palace, how can there be such a noise? We had no choice but to let them go. What did they say... Well, to be honest, it was too noisy. You said one thing and I said another. I really couldn't hear it clearly... That's why such a misunderstanding happened.
Li Xiaoqi looked at them with disdain and threw a few belts in his hand to the ones without belts on the stone pier, "Hurry up and tie them up. You are grown-ups, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? Embarrassing yourself is a small matter, but it would be a sin to cause the master sister to be embarrassed."
Shidun and his men quickly tied their belts and felt a little safer.
Dongzi looked at Li Xiaoqi with murderous eyes. If this brat hadn't only given them the information of the Regent of Great Chu, how could they have gotten into trouble and made their master angry?
Li Xiaoqi could naturally understand the meaning in Dongxi's eyes, and he coughed lightly with a guilty conscience, "Haha, that master, the guys didn't really make any substantial mistakes. Look at those brothers, none of them were hurt, they are fine, right?"
Under Xing Yi's glare, the guards nodded their heads like quails.
"Yes, yes, this is all a misunderstanding."
"Yes, Princess, we are not injured, so let's not punish them."
"Princess, please don't be angry because of us. It's not worth it. It's true that we didn't find out the truth. No wonder these brothers are angry."
······The guards had no choice. These were the future princess’ subordinates and would be one family with them. They couldn’t offend them the first time they met them.
Sure enough, the twenty-two men who were standing upright quickly lost their resentment when they heard the palace guards were so open-minded.
Li Mulan glared at Li Xiaoqi. The culprit was this unreliable guy.
Li Xiaoqi chuckled twice and didn't dare to say anything. It's better not to go any closer at this time.
Xing Yi also came out to help, "Princess, why don't you take the brothers to the house we prepared for them? They must be very tired after traveling for days, so let them wash up and take a rest."
Li Mulan nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble Commander Xing to arrange it."
"Okay, wait a moment, I will arrange it quickly."
Xing Yi hurriedly winked at the old butler, who immediately trotted over, and the two of them discussed something in a low voice.
Twenty-two young men, their eyes clear and even shining, Li Mulan was reluctant to continue talking about them.
"Okay, sit down first." She glanced at the messy round table and asked, "Are you full?"
Most people nodded and said they were full, only a few of them still looked at the remaining food.
"If you're not full, keep eating. I'll take you to another courtyard later. You'll live there for a while."
As soon as they heard the master's order, no matter whether they were full or not, they all swarmed to the round table. There were so many delicious dishes, it would be a waste if they didn't eat them.
Ye Tianyu came close to Huo Yuanruo and asked in a low voice, "Did Xiaofeng say that he wanted to treat everyone to a meal?"
Huo Yuanruo took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and said, "Yeah, I don't know where he got the courage from. I don't even dare to casually ask them to have a meal. How can I afford to eat like this?"
Ye Tianyu saw the kitchen staff in the palace bringing in more dishes. There were so many large pots of food that his forehead was sweating. "They...are always so good at eating?"
"Yes, Junior Master gave them training tasks, and they are getting more and more difficult and very physically demanding."
Ye Tianyu nodded blankly. “I used to think that Yuan Ruo was good at eating. Compared with them, you...you don’t seem so special.”
Huo Yuanruo ate melon seeds leisurely. "I often go to the valley with my junior uncle. I will participate in every training mission they have. It's very interesting. So I eat and sleep with them. Don't look at how much they eat now. If something happens, it won't be a problem for them to live without food and water for a few months."
"Then...how can we survive?" Ye Tianyu widened his eyes in disbelief.
"There are so many ways. Junior Master has taught us a lot."
"Little... Junior Uncle taught you?"
Although they all knew that the junior master knew some martial arts, and was even pretty good at it, they also knew that she couldn't practice internal strength. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't compare to Yuan Ruo's. How could...
Huo Yuanruo obviously didn't want to say more, otherwise, given his personality, he would have started chattering a long time ago.
"Of course, Junior Master knows so many things. You would be scared to death if you knew."
The gunpowder that was developed back then was enough to scare everyone to death. It was a pity that the master didn't allow people to use it or make it, let alone let others know about it.
After everyone had finally eaten and drunk their fill, Xingyi and the others also prepared several large carriages.
"Princess, everything has been arranged. Do you want to come with us?"
“I have to go and see it.”
Otherwise, how could she feel at ease with such a large group of people?
Li Xiaoqi was surrounded by people at the moment, and he suffered a lot. You punched him and he hit him. The most important thing was that he didn't dare to resist or complain, otherwise he would be in a worse situation. Who made him the first to cause trouble?
"No, no, no, it's okay if I'm wrong, the master is watching us, we have to leave, let's go."
A group of people glared at him fiercely, but when they turned to look at Li Mulan, she looked as if she had learned Sichuan opera face-changing, and was extremely obedient and well-behaved.
Li Mulan shook her head helplessly, not bothering to expose them, "Let's go, follow the leader, there are three carriages, you guys should sit separately, be quiet, and don't make any noise."
"Yes, master."
"I understand, Master."
A group of people swarmed towards the gate. When they passed the guards, several of them even bumped into them provocatively.
Fortunately, the guards of the Regent's Palace were all well-mannered and no one bothered with them. Some even thought it was just a bump.
As a result, the perceptive Li Mulan had already noticed something was wrong at this time, "Stop!"
