Chapter 394: To Muster Troops

"Very good."An Xuetang : "..."How come Ah Jing feels so clingy today!He'd insisted so much, An Xue Tang didn't mind anymore. However, she still pressed down slightly with her feet, trying not to put a...Seeing Xizi Ke'er's actions, Shou'er gave her a surprised look.

Xizi Ke'er knew what she wanted to say. At this time, she said expressionlessly, "Since we all know who the mastermind is, asking again is just redundant."

Shou'er and Kang'er looked at each other, their brows furrowed. They had to admit, Xi Zi Ke'er's attitude at this moment was right up their alley.

at least not the kind that's desperate.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Xizi Ke'er narrowed her eyes slightly, "Thank you, let's go, continue on our journey."

As they spoke, she led the way, continuing on their journey back to Xi Liang.

The road ahead was far from peaceful, they encountered three waves of assassins altogether.

There is no doubt that they were sent by Xizi P'an'er, and Xizi Ke'er didn't leave a single survivor.

Actually, Shou'er and Kang'er didn't agree with her doing this.

In Shou'er and Kang'er's view, leaving the captives alive and taking them directly to the Empress of Xiliang to expose Xi Zi's true face would be even better.

But Xizi Ke'er seems to have her own ideas.

Shour and Kang didn't care anymore. Since she said she wouldn't leave any alive, they would just kill them all!

After a day and night's journey, the three finally stepped into the territory of Xiliang.

After entering the city, Xizi Ke'er immediately revealed her identity. The guarding general promptly dispatched numerous soldiers to escort her back to the palace.

Shou'er and Kang'er also followed and entered the palace.

Xi Zi Pan'er was waiting at the palace gate, and when she saw Xi Zi Ke'er, Xi Zi Pan'er immediately rushed over with a 'worried expression'.

Seeing Xizi Panger's expression, Xizi Ke'er only felt deep irony in her heart.

She had never imagined that her elder sister's acting would be so lifelike.

"Ke'er, why are you so disobedient You scared your older sister to death. Are you hurt"

Facing Xizi's fake and insincere affection, Shou'er and Kang'er still thought that Xizi would directly slap her.

But who knew, Xi Zi Ke Er suddenly hugged Xi Zi Pan Er, crying and saying:

"Sister, you really scared me! It's so dangerous out there. If it weren't for the help of the Princess of Beijang, I wouldn't have been able to see you again."

Shou'er, Kang'er : "..."

These two actresses are truly sisters, both with such amazing acting skills. They expressed their admiration for each other.

Xizi looked at her daughter, her grip tightening slightly. A flash of killing intent crossed her eyes before disappearing as quickly as it had come. "Don't worry, don't worry, just glad you're safe."

Xizi Ke'er pursed her lips, "Elder sister, I was really scared. I thought I would never see you again."

"It's alright, just come back."

As they spoke, Xizi P'er glanced thoughtfully at Shou'er and Kang'er standing behind Xizi Ke'er.

Then pushing aside Xi Zi Ke'er, "Who are these two"

"Oh, these are the guards of the Northern Border Princess. My sister's return is all thanks to their protection. They have done me a great favor, so I shall take them to meet Mother and ask her to reward them."

As they were speaking, Xizi Ke'er led Shou'er and Kang'er into the palace, not giving them a chance to bow to Xizi P'an'er.

Seeing Xi Zi Ke'er's hurried departing figure, Xi Zi Pan'er's eyes gradually turned cold. Just then, Xi Zi Ke'er suddenly turned her head back, accurately catching her gaze full of murderous intent.

Xi Zi looked back to life, instantly regaining her previous feigned concern.

And Xizi Ke'er pretended not to see anything, opening her mouth in a daze, "Sister, come quickly."

Here it is.

Xi Zi and Pan Er hurried to follow.

A group of people went to the Empress's palace.

The Empress listened impassively to Xizi Ke'er's words, then turned to Shou'er and Kang'er, saying coldly, "Are your royal consorts truly so kind as to send my daughter back to me"

Shou'er bowed respectfully, her manner neither servile nor arrogant. "Your Majesty," she replied, "the little princess is safely here. Shouldn't that speak for itself"

The Western Liang Empress let out a cold snort. "Who knows if the assassins on the road were sent by your people from Beijiang"

"Mother, those assassins were all women. There aren't so many female assassins in the Northern Border. My daughter deeply suspects that someone from our Western Liang country might be against me."

"Nonsense, you are my daughter. Even someone from Xiliang wouldn't dare lay a finger on you!"

Listening to her mother's words, Xizi Ke'er's heart turned cold. It seemed her mother knew what was going on, but she didn't intend to pursue it.

In that case, she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to expose Xizhi and Xiwan at this moment.

"Mother, I'm certain this has nothing to do with the Princess of Beijiang. On the contrary, my daughter should be grateful to her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be alive today."

The Western Liang Empress narrowed her eyes slightly, "So what do you want to say"

"Mother, I once considered marrying the King of the Northern Border. After meeting his wife, the Princess Consort, I wish to befriend her."

“The Princess of Beijiang is an extraordinary woman. She is highly skilled in martial arts, proficient in medicine, and capable of going into battle to fight enemies. My daughter also aspires to be as brave and invincible as her one day. Therefore, my daughter requests an army from her mother and wishes to become a woman like the Princess of Beijiang.”

The Western Liang Empress narrowed her eyes and looked at Xizi Ke'er, "You want the army from me"

"Yes, Mother. When I was ten years old, I had already been on the battlefield. My elder sister could lead an army when she was around ten years old. Daughter has always admired and respected you both, so she also hopes to become as excellent as Mother, Elder Sister, and the Princess of Beijang. I hope Mother will agree."

When Xizi Ke'er spoke of wanting soldiers, Xizi Pan'er clenched her fists and bowed her head, keeping the killing intent in her eyes from showing.

The Western Liang Empress looked thoughtfully at Xi Zi P'an'er, "P'an'er, what do you think Should I give the troops to Ke'er"

Xizi looked up and bowed, saying, "Since Ke'er wants it, and Mother also wants to give it, then let's just give it. Ke'er isn't young anymore, is she She can't possibly remain ignorant forever."

Xizi P'an'er intentionally said that last sentence, emphasizing that Xizi Ke'er didn't understand anything and was just hoping her mother could see that Xizi Ke'er wasn't the right material.

"To my surprise, the Empress of Xi Liang immediately said, 'In that case, I agree. Ca'er, I will give you my 50,000 elite soldiers. I want to see how you can make them obey you next. But let me make something clear beforehand, if you can't get them to follow you, I will take back the military power at any time.'"

Xizi Ke'er immediately excitedly thanked her benefactor, then deliberately looked at Xizi Panger, "Sister, thank you for speaking up for me."

She was clearly showing off on purpose, but Xizi Pan'er couldn't do anything about it. She still had to force a smile and congratulate her, "Sister, you're too kind. It was all Mother's decision."

After asking the Empress of Xiliang for rewards for Shou'er and Kang'er, Xizi Ke'er took Shou'er and Kang'er away.

Xi Zi (also known as the Western Lady) and Pan'er also hastily left.

After everyone had left, a man suddenly appeared in the Empress's bedroom. He walked slowly behind the Empress and reached out to knead her shoulders, "Your Majesty, are you really sure about this"ter Feng has safely taken the Princess away"He was very uneasy after hearing from Ning'er that their princess had also entered the eerie forest.At this moment, Ning'er said that their princess had fou...
