Chapter 113 From Birth to Marriage
Upon hearing her immediately inquire about the eldest princess, the leader shut his mouth as soon as he opened it.
The Black-Clad Guards are destined for a calamity.
"Can't we talk about the Eldest Princess?"
Noticing the resistance in his eyes, Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow.
"Do you have any other questions?"
The leader changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the unconscious guards in black robes around him, his eyes filled with a mixture of pity and sorrow.
The Xuanyi Guard was created by the eldest princess. Even though decades have passed and the personnel have been replaced several times, they have never thought of betraying her.
The eldest princess is their master, and everything related to her is kept secret.
Seeing that he was determined not to speak, Jiang Bai felt a little embarrassed.
She's not some kind of psychopath who enjoys killing.
"Alright, then why don't you tell me what place is depicted in this picture?"
Since he couldn't find out anything about the princess, Jiang Bai shifted his attention and took out the map from his pocket again.
The leader of the Black-Clad Guards glanced around, considered their current predicament, and replied, "This is the Black-Clad Guards' training camp."
"Just a training camp?"
"It's just a training camp."
The leader nodded in approval.
His face was completely covered by a mask, making it impossible to see his expression.
Jiang Bai had an urge to tear off his mask, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Don't let yourself take a life for no reason.
"Besides the camp, is there anything else inside?" Jiang Bai persisted.
The map was hidden in the jewelry box at the stone gate; she didn't believe it was just a simple training camp.
After all, she came here to find treasure. If the map only shows a camp, why would she travel so far?
Play?
"There's only a campsite, nothing else."
The leader of the Black-Clad Guards stuck to this answer, regardless of whether Jiang Bai believed it or not; he himself believed it.
When she came out, he had activated all the mechanisms, so even if she found the place with the map, she would only see an ordinary camp and wouldn't find anything else.
If you can't see the expression on his face, it's not good.
Jiang Bai felt a little irritated.
"Tell me honestly, haven't you wanted to die a long time ago?"
Otherwise, why would they be so uncooperative?
The leader of the Black-Clad Guards looked at her as if she were an idiot, as if asking her why she would ask such a question.
If you can live, who would want to die?
Understanding his gaze, Jiang Bai remained silent for a moment.
The leader of the Black-Clad Guards remained silent.
Just then, they heard a slight noise from the side, and the two of them turned to look at it at the same time.
Ming Yu slowly opened his eyes, his hand unconsciously rubbing his neck. Memories returned to his mind, and his eyes suddenly sharpened as he looked at Jiang Bai.
He was stunned when he saw it.
Sitting in front of Jiang Bai was a man in black with gray hair and a mask resembling the King of Hell.
Around the two, a group of men dressed in black lay on the ground, their heads out of sight.
Don't tell him these people are all Black-Clad Guards?
Ming Yu's gaze subtly swept over the sleeve of the leader of the Black-Clad Guards. Seeing the familiar pattern on the sleeve, he was certain that those lying on the ground were indeed Black-Clad Guards.
He was eerily silent.
Jiang Bai also fell silent.
This person was knocked unconscious for less than ten minutes, and he's already awake?
Her hand was itching to strike again, wondering if she should hit him once more.
"If you want to know about the Princess, why don't you ask him? The Ji royal family probably knows more about the Princess than I do."
The leader of the Black-Clad Guards spoke with a hint of sarcasm, and his gaze toward Ming Yu was also somewhat unfriendly.
Jiang Bai turned his gaze and leaned closer to Ming Yu.
The oppressive feeling emanating from Jiang Bai was too strong. Ming Yu realized that his internal injuries were worsening. Ignoring his severely injured body, he moved backward with all his might.
“Miss Jiang, please speak frankly. There’s no need for you to be so close to me.”
He secretly mobilized his internal energy, but it dissipated as soon as he managed to raise a trace of it. Ming Yu frowned slightly.
"I'm just curious about the matter between the Eldest Princess and the Black-Clad Guards, but unfortunately the leader of the Black-Clad Guards is unwilling to tell me. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to answer my questions?"
"What does Miss Jiang want to know? I will tell you everything I know without reservation."
People have to bow their heads under the roof.
Mingyu glanced at Jiang Bai discreetly; her face was still covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes.
A few wisps of fair skin were exposed, suggesting that a very beautiful face must be hidden beneath the face mask.
"Let's start with the birth of the eldest princess!"
"Speaking of her getting married."
Jiang Bai sat to the side, and without anyone noticing, he had plucked a few vines and was skillfully weaving them in his hands.
Ming Yu looked up at the leader of the Black-Clad Guards and saw that he was closing his eyes and ignoring everything. His gaze fell on the leader's obviously weak wrist, which must have been dislocated. Ming Yu's lips twitched slightly.
He had long heard that Ji Mo's wife liked to cripple people's limbs, but seeing it with his own eyes now sent chills down his spine.
Seeing the impatience in Jiang Bai's eyes, he then began to speak.
Princess Xuyang.
She was the elder sister of the founding emperor of the Qian Yuan Kingdom. Originally from a farming family, she had a fortuitous encounter in her youth and learned martial arts.
Later, the previous dynasty's imperial family was ruthless, and the people suffered greatly. So she led her younger brother in a rebellion, successfully conquered the country, and established the Qian Yuan Kingdom.
At the age of eighteen, she was betrothed by the emperor to the current head of the Yu family, a prominent family from the previous dynasty.
"Finished?"
Jiang Bai looked at Ming Yu, and he nodded.
If there were a storytelling contest in this world, this third prince would probably get a zero.
What is the eldest princess's name?
What is a serendipitous encounter?
How did a peasant girl, along with her younger brother, overthrow one dynasty and establish another?
Then why was she betrothed to the head of the Yu family?
Goodness, you didn't mention a single one of these details?
The leader of the Black-Clad Guards, who was listening intently to Ming Yu's story, was also somewhat dumbfounded.
The Third Prince has excellent eloquence.
It is straightforward and without any unnecessary words.
He turned to look at Jiang Bai's face, and sure enough, it was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Remembering his own identity, he decisively shut his mouth, which was about to make a sarcastic remark. His Highness's affairs were all confidential to the Black-Clad Guards.
"You've finished talking. You were the one who talked about her background and her marriage."
Mingyu looked somewhat confused. He had indeed said what she asked, so why did she look so dissatisfied?
"Fine, I'll ask you questions and you answer them!" Jiang Bai sighed, not daring to imagine that if he continued to let himself speak, he would just give another ordinary introduction of a character.
Mingyu nodded, looking rather obedient.
He is actually two years younger than Ji Yanwen, and is only fifteen years old this year, about the same age as Jiang Bai.
"What is the princess's name? Where is she from?"
"Her name is Ji Ruyi, and her ancestral home is Luzhou."
Hmm? Louisiana?
"When and how did she marry into the Yu family?"
"The third year of the Yuanli era."
How old was she at the time?
"Eighteen years old."
Was she betrothed at the age of eighteen?
Jiang Bai had some doubts, but she was more interested in knowing what their relationship was with the Princess, so she patiently continued to ask.
