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

Chapter 1171 Working Together

Before noon, the smoky aroma of roasted suckling pig wafted over from the courtyard.

Minglang was forced to come out of the house.

Looking at the crowd of people waiting for food in the yard, his urge to scold Xiang Kela lessened somewhat.

"Would you like to go for a walk, Miss?"

Jiang Jiaoyun appeared beside her without her noticing, and Minglang did not refuse her.

Staying here will only expose you to the smoke, so you might as well go out for a walk.

The two strolled to the slope outside the village.

This is the place where they stayed on their first day here.

"The head of the village said they would come to pick up the people at midnight tonight."

Jiang Jiaoyun had just finished testing a group of people and still smelled of blood.

"We can't believe everything they say. Let's do it earlier, and have the soldiers lie in ambush as soon as it gets dark."

When you're out and about, you'll encounter many people who speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.

Aside from those few, Minglang didn't believe even half of what the others said.

Jiang Jiaoyun said, "That's what I was thinking too. So, what do you plan to do after this group of people is caught, Miss?"

Minglang casually plucked a blade of grass from the ground and twirled it in his hand.

"Naturally, we should make them return the way they came, and then follow them to wipe them all out."

Jiang Jiaoyun raised an eyebrow slightly at His Highness.

"Miss understands that's not what I meant."

Minglang chuckled and asked, "Then what are you talking about?"

"If Marquis Jinxiang is truly as these people say, having close ties with those high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, will Miss go all the way to the capital to file a complaint?"

Jiang Jiaoyun's meaning couldn't be clearer.

"Of course, we've come this far, how can we just leave it unattended?"

"Even if we can't touch the people who are implicated right now, Miss, we must continue."

Minglang threw away the grass in his hand and turned to look at Jiang Jiaoyun.

"When did you become so timid and hesitant? Are you still Jiang Jiaoyun?"

Stumped by His Highness's question, Jiang Jiaoyun simply told him the truth.

"I'm just a little worried that if people who can't be completely eradicated in a short time are left around, they'll be entrusted with important tasks again."

She is not a prince, and does not have the unconditional protection of His Majesty.

Behind her was the Jiang family; the lives of over a hundred people were in her hands.

She had been interrogating these people for days, and had heard some news about the capital from them.

They began to speculate about the person in the capital.

Who are you afraid of?

Minglang thought of several names, but there weren't many people in the capital who could make Jiang Jiaoyun so wary.

Jiang Jiaoyun shook her head at His Highness: "I was just thinking about the future. In the current court, even if someone has committed heinous crimes, he once had merits. Even if he has long since betrayed his original intentions, his courage back then was still genuine."

If the person ultimately found has performed extremely meritorious deeds, how will Miss decide?

Minglang felt something was off as he listened: "You're not talking about the Duke of Dingguo, are you?"

That's no longer a joke.

She even thought that her mother would turn a blind eye for the sake of her grandmother, and then eliminate the problem once her grandmother passed away.

"Of course not. What if that person were me?"

Minglang was startled by Jiang Jiaoyun's words for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

"You're not afraid of others, you're afraid of yourself."

Jiang Jiaoyun nodded in agreement.

Moreover, if she wasn't mistaken, the person behind the scenes in the capital had a good relationship with the Jiang family, and even a close personal relationship with her grandfather.

Such a person has been in the imperial court for so many years, and his every move has far-reaching consequences.

Before taking action against him, be prepared, as countless people may be implicated.

"Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I will leave you a whole corpse and allow you to be buried with me in hell to repent."

After Minglang finished speaking, he whispered a name in Jiang Jiaoyun's ear.

Jiang Jiaoyun remained silent, tacitly agreeing to everything.

The Yun family...

The maternal home of Jiang Jiaoyun's mother.

The two stood on the earthen slope where they had first come here, looking back at the entire village, which was not large, just that small.

But inside lurked countless beasts.

Neither of them spoke again. If this matter escalated to higher authorities, it would be beyond Minglang's control.

Such a shocking matter must surely be investigated by the Empress herself.

"Is it the branch from your mother's side?"

Minglang couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Jiaoyun's voice was very soft, as if she herself hadn't thought it through.

"Perhaps both are true."

How could there be completely pure white cloth in a huge dye vat? That's completely unrealistic.

A silence grew rapidly between the two until the sound of horses' hooves approached from not far away.

Minglang turned his head and saw a few people coming towards them from afar.

"Oh no, something's not right."

At this point, family matters were no longer a concern.

Minglang and Jiang Jiaoyun ran wildly towards the village.

These people didn't even arrive at night.

"Those people really didn't tell the truth."

Minglang turned around and saw the riders getting closer and closer to them.

Some riders were already cracking their whips and rushing towards them impatiently.

"Miss, you go first, I'll cover your retreat."

Jiang Jiaoyun pulled out a long whip from her waist and held a dagger in her other hand.

She pushed off with her right foot and turned to face the group of people rushing towards them.

After Minglang turned around and confirmed the number of people, he mentally called out to the kitten.

After telling the kitten about the situation, he took out two daggers from his waist and decided not to run away anymore.

They can't outrun a horse on two legs.

Being too busy running for your life makes you more likely to be caught.

"What's the rush? There are only a few of them. How could the two of us not be able to handle them?"

The two of them didn't run very far; they just came down the slope to avoid inconvenience when they were fighting.

"Such a pretty woman, and Lao Jiu didn't even catch her. Today, the brothers are lucky to have her."

After they've played with it, when you bring it back to the adults, just say they weren't originally adults.

Seven or eight men sat on horseback, cracking their whips.

He let out a disgusting laugh.

Minglang was the first to join the two daggers together and throw them at the man who had spoken the loudest.

The man's laughter stopped abruptly.

As blood gushed out, the dagger was back in Minglang's hand.

This was specially given to her by her mother before she left home.

I also explained how to use it to her in detail.

Having practiced with her several times, it couldn't be more convenient to use her to deal with these Zhang idiots.

"She's actually quite capable. Baozi, you go first, we'll take care of this woman."

Among the seven or eight men, there was one who looked the youngest. Upon hearing this, he turned his horse around and prepared to leave.

Jiang Jiaoyun whipped the horse's leg, dragging both rider and horse away.

The man's gasp caught in his throat, and before he could utter a sound, a flash of cold light appeared as a dagger flew through the air.

The two worked together and solved another problem.

"Damn it, these two women are not to be trifled with. Retreat! Go back and get some men to deal with them."

Once it's delivered to their doorstep, Minglang won't give them a chance to escape.
