Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1193 - 1190_1
Chapter 1193: 1190_1
"First, I will go to the northwest and bring Xi’er back, then head to the south!" Shangguan Xuanyao felt delighted that he came up with such a good idea.
"What a dreamer!" Xiao’er rolled her eyes at him exasperatedly.
Shangguan Xuanyao grinned sheepishly.
"If Seventh Prince wishes to try this out, then he might as well join us in Zezhou! Zezhou is short of manpower and it’s a great opportunity for training!
As for that reckless girl, Xi’er, who dares to do anything, let her perservere by herself and taste some hardships! Otherwise, she wouldn’t learn the true expanse of this world, and how many people are mightier than her!" Xiao’er said while packing a few things into a box.
Shangguan Xuanyao: Is this really my blood sister? How can she not worry about her little sister.
After pondering, he voiced his concern, "Given Xi’er’s disobedience, I worry about her losing her life. So, it’s better I bring her back quickly!"
"Rest assured, she herself is poisonous. It would be a relief if she doesn’t cause anyone’s death! I have assigned people to protect her. They won’t let her lose her life! But of course, if she gets injured or disabled, my people won’t step in, otherwise, she will never learn her lesson!"
Even if she got injured or disabled, they won’t care? Shangguan Xuanyao felt discomforted.
"Sixth Sister-in-law, can you tell me where Xi’er is now? I want to find her!"
Shangguan Xuanyi entered the room at this moment, his face darkened upon hearing this, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, you should go south to attack Nangong Country! As a man, how can you always dwell behind a woman’s back!"
Shangguan Xuanyao was not convinced by this. When did he always stalk women’s back? Although this is what he dreamed of, since the age of four, his learning schedule was packed you can only rest four days a month!
So many things to learn, even with his intellect, it’s a lifetime task!
Also, though he was young, he remembered his sixth royal brother always stalking behind his sixth sister-in-law!
"When you went on a campaign, didn’t you bring the sixth sister-in-law and the children? As per the saying ’Self-cultivation, well-organized family, governing the country, and pacifying the world.’ I’ve already completed the self-cultivation phase, now moving towards organizing a family!" Shangguan Xuanyao said bluntly.
Anyway, everyone is smart here, I can’t believe they did not catch my feelings for Xi’er! If so, he would rather make it clear outright!
Shangguan Xuanyi looked at his royal brother: He has absolutely no shame!
"The reason I brought along Sixth Princess was because of serious business! You know how skilled she is!"
"Xi’er’s medical and toxicology skills are also very strong, if she accompanies us to the south, she could not only heal our soldiers but could also poison the enemy army! Plus, doesn’t Nangong Country have Li County, where the Li Clan is reputed for their toxicity skills? There is a toxicology competition in the Li Clan, perhaps, Xi’er could be of great help!"
After hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi was indifferent. When it comes to medicine or toxins, no one could match the Ashoka fruit tree in Xiao’er’s space!
Of course, he won’t tell this in public.
"Your thinking is right, I got it. Now, I will send someone to take Xi’er to the south, and you obediently come with me to the south!" Xiao’er replied.
On hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyao felt deflated. His royal brother and sister-in-law were too insidious, knowing that he was worried about Xi’er, and wanted to bring Xi’er back, but they didn’t relent!
No matter, if they don’t agree, he will go to the northwest to find Xi’er himself!
Just need to be a bit sneaky about this. Otherwise, his father will not approve!
Ah! Born at the wrong time, why did he have to be the late son? If only he could be like his royal brothers, each taking turns to stay in the Imperial Capital for a month, and the rest of the time spent wandering outside!
When he was young, he had always admired his royal brothers for their freedom to roam and thought it would be the same when he grew up. But when he grew up, his royal brothers got married, and after marriage, they did not like to wander but became home birds, and the earlier agreement was cancelled!
Why is he so unlucky? Can’t even choose his birth hour!
On second thoughts, if he was born earlier, wouldn’t he be the same age as Xi’er? In that case, Xi’er will be much younger than him, probably he wouldn’t be able to marry Xi’er as his Princess!
Life indeed isn’t perfect! Shangguan Xuanyao sighed inwardly.
Looking at the gloomy expression of a certain individual, Xiao’er couldn’t help but chuckle, "Alright, I was just pulling your leg. That girl, Xi’er did indeed go to take up her post with Jinghao."
On hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyao widened his eyes, "Sixth Sister-in-law, were you lying to trick me into going south?"
Listening to this, Xiao’er rolled her eyes, annoyed, "Do I need to trick you into going south? If I really want you to go, I would just toss you into the carriage. Why would I need to trick you? You’re not worth my effort!"
"That makes sense!" On hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyao also saw the logic. His Seventh Brother always resolved things with force!
"Then, I’ll immediately return to the palace and report to my father. I want to go south with you to attack Nangong country!"
"I’ve decided not to bring you along! You should tell your father that you want to go south, but don’t say it’s with me and don’t follow me! I hate trouble!" Shangguan Xuanyi refuted this time.
Four kids are already too much to handle, and still need to bring along a royal brother? He didn’t wish for that!
On hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyao was incredulous, "Didn’t you agree just now? I promise not to cause trouble for Sixth Brother! I can protect myself!"
"Your mere appearance is trouble for me. Using me as an excuse to persuade father to let you go south is a problem, and if you follow me, it’s an annoyance!" Shangguan Xuanyi said bluntly! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Shangguan Xuanyao: "..."
This Sixth Brother couldn’t possibly have been adopted by Mother, could he? How could he be so indifferent to brotherly love?
"Ha!" Hearing Shangguan Xuanyi’s words, Xiao’er couldn’t help but laugh.
"Well, just now, Sixth Sister-in-law agreed to take me south! I would just follow behind Sixth Sister-in-law! I will stay behind you and absolutely won’t disturb you!" Hearing Xiao’er’s laughter, Shangguan Xuanyao quickly echoed.
"If you can defeat Zhao Yong, then I will allow you to follow us! Otherwise, with your elementary martial arts, I will have to bother myself in saving you when we encounter any assassins!"
Shangguan Xuanyi was just finding him annoying and made it deliberately difficult for him!
"No need for that! My master said, my martial arts are not inferior to you back in the day!" Shangguan Xuanyao answered excitedly.
Thinking back, didn’t his royal brother start wandering around at his current age!
So, Shangguan Xuanyao and Zhao Yong had a bout, although he lost as expected, he still managed to set off with Xiao’er.
