Chapter 388 It is your honor to die for the princess
There was a smaller room in the inn. After listening to A'rui's words, Fan Shi and the others were allowed to stay there. They were given many instructions before entering the room.

"Sir, is that the Ninth Princess? She doesn't seem so bad." Fan Shi's attendant Song Jue said. He scratched his head, "She actually let us in to take shelter from the rain and even asked someone to arrange a room for us."

Fan Shi listened to the rain outside the window. It was getting heavier. If he didn't come in, he would get sick. He said, "There are very few people who are purely bad. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm."

Just like sending the county magistrate's daughter to Northern Qi to replace her before, knowing that going to Northern Qi would not be easy, she would naturally find a way to avoid it.

She looks to be only about ten years old, how bad can she be?

According to common sense, she was a princess and a monarch, and no one would think it was a big deal if she let her subjects die. They even thought it was the right thing to do. No one could say anything if she sent a county magistrate's daughter to replace her.

However, he always hated the nobles' way of thinking. The nobles thought they were noble, and those who were lower than them, even if there were hundreds of thousands or millions of them, were not as good as one of them. As long as they needed, those lowly people could be sacrificed at any time.

Therefore, even if they stayed in the same inn temporarily, they would not be fellow travelers.

Fan Shi didn't understand why he had to go to Northern Qi this time. Since he wanted to go there again, he would go. He still cared about his intuition. He always felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't go to Northern Qi.

Then go again, maybe there is something waiting for him in Northern Qi?

Given the current situation in the world, can we really meet a savior in Northern Qi?
"Sir, in fact, all emperors are like that. They also have the aristocratic bad habits that you hate. Are you sure you can really find the person you want?" Song Jue suddenly said. Although his teacher is only in his teens, he is not only proficient in martial arts, but also well-read. Faced with the current situation in the world, he is determined to find someone to change the overall situation.

I have been traveling since I was twelve years old. Five years have passed now. During this time, I have met many people and even been recruited by some people. Unfortunately, those people are not the ones I am looking for.

"Sir, you probably can't find the person you want."

"Who wouldn't feel superior if they were emperors?" Song Jue shook his head and hung out the wet items. "If I were emperor, I wouldn't take other people for granted. It's pretty cool to think that everyone's life and death is in my hands."

Fan Shi turned around, his face full of disdain: "You'd better practice your handwriting first. No emperor has ever written as well as a dog."

"It's not necessary to have someone like that," he whispered, "as long as we can change the present, it'll be fine. Although the Northern Qi emperor is tyrannical, the Northern Qi is barely stable, and the people's lives are hard but not impossible. Although the Southern Qi is weak, the people's lives are not at the end of the road for the time being. People in the east are not having it easy, with bandits ruling the mountains and without a sound system, the civilians are the ones who suffer, and there are roadblocks everywhere, so they don't even have a chance to escape."

They didn't stop outsiders from coming or staying. They had tried to stop them before, but later found that if they did, no one would go there. So they reached a consensus. The locals couldn't be let go, regardless of whether outsiders came or went.

If the current situation continues, chaos is imminent, and a capable person is needed to stabilize the situation.

But he hasn't found such a person yet.

If there really is such a person, even if the other party still has the characteristics he hates, he can still make do with them. It is indeed as Song Jue said, we cannot expect a high and mighty king to be equal to the noble and the humble. A good king is one who can make the world stable and allow the people to have clothes to wear and food to eat.

"Sir, you have changed a lot after five years away." Song Jue suddenly said. How could the former husband accept this?
Fan Shi smiled. He had changed. He was too naive before. But now, there was no such person. He was still young and could wait, but many people in this world could not.

"Alas, sir, if people like this could be found everywhere, would the world still be in chaos?" Song Jue shook his head.

Fan Shi felt that this was true. Did we really have to wait until the situation became completely chaotic before such a person would appear?
The rain lasted for five days and finally stopped. As soon as the sky cleared up, the convoy set out eagerly. They had already been delayed for five days and could not afford to delay any longer.

Ah Qi got on the carriage. When the carriage started, Fan Shi's voice suddenly came from outside: "Thank you, young lady."

The team didn't reveal their identities, so even if Fan Shi recognized them, he would just pretend not to know to avoid trouble. The people of Southern Qi were okay, but the people of Northern Qi were not so reasonable.

"You're welcome." Ah Qi replied, and those people let her get on the carriage before allowing Fan Shi and the others to come out, so that he wouldn't see her tied up. Little did she know, he had already discovered it.

After another three days of journey, they finally arrived in the territory of Northern Qi.

In the residence of the Third Princess of Northern Qi, the Third Princess Song Yishui leaned on a chair, squinting at Cui Jing standing in front of her, and suddenly revealed a playful smile: "I just received news that the Ninth Princess of Southern Qi has arrived in Northern Qi. With the speed of the caravan, she will arrive tomorrow. You are so unlucky that she actually plotted against you."

"I'm really curious about what this Ninth Princess looks like. I wonder how she compares to you."

Cui Jing trembled when she heard this. Although the Third Princess smiled, she was actually a cruel and vicious person. When she first arrived in Northern Qi, she was invited to the Princess's Mansion and told to massage her shoulders and legs and wash her feet. She had never done such a thing since she was a child, so she was not willing to do it.

Unexpectedly, the other party slapped her in the face, knocking her unconscious.

Song Yishui even called her a lowly thing. Didn't she know that the princess sent by Southern Qi was to be a slave to Northern Qi?
Cui Jing originally thought that since she was a princess after all, even if life in Northern Qi was difficult, she would only lose her freedom. She did not expect to suffer such torture.

She couldn't speak at all at the time and could only endure it.

Not only did the Third Princess of Northern Qi order her around in different ways, but other princes and princesses did the same, calling her over whenever they had nothing to do, and occasionally when they got together, they would even have fun with her. From childhood to adulthood, she had never suffered such grievances.

After being used as a slave for days, and suffering torture and humiliation, she was finally able to speak, and at the same time she found that the skin on her face could be torn off. She didn't care about the overall situation, and she just wanted to escape from Northern Qi. Seeing that their methods of tormenting her were getting more and more excessive, she quickly explained her identity and took off the mask on her face.

At the same time, it shows that she was forced.

She said it all in one breath, but she was actually a little scared.

After all, her status was not as high as that of the Ninth Princess. She was just the daughter of a county magistrate. These princes and princesses of Northern Qi would not care about her life or death at all.

Fortunately, they were very curious about this matter and decided to keep her alive until the Ninth Princess came.

Cui Jing now hates Song Qi to death.

The other party had liked to target her since she was a child, and now sent her to this place to be tortured, wearing away all her kindness and tolerance.

She didn't owe Song Qi anything, so why would the other party want to harm her like this?
Cui Jing felt relieved when she thought that the other party had been sent here.

Song Qi is the ninth princess. This is her mission. How can she avoid it?
It’s better for Song Qi to bear it himself.
