When they arrived outside Murong Qiqi's carriage, Ji Xiang handed the grapes to Su Mei.
"What a coincidence! Just now, my young miss said that we can eat grapes at this time of year! I did not expect Sister Ji Xiang to deliver them. Thank you! "Su Mei received the grapes enthusiastically and called Ji Xiang into the carriage.
"It's alright. His Highness still needs more people. This servant will take her leave first!"
After Ji Xiang left, Su Mei looked at her back and laughed, "Young miss, look at how serious Ji Xiang is. Isn't it similar to Tie Xue? If Tie Xue was here, I would think that they are brother and sister! Ruyi is so easy-going, but why is Ji Xiang so mature? Weren't they born at the same time? "
"I don't know about this. You have to ask their parents. Perhaps one of them took after their mother, while the other took after their father. "
Murong Qiqi lowered her head and wrote on the paper. When Su Mei fed her the grapes, she opened her mouth and swallowed them. "So sweet!"
"Young miss, you must be feeling sweet in your heart!" Su Mei laughed and teased, "Son-in-law always gives anything good to young miss. It seems like he cares a lot about you!"
"Nonsense!" Murong Qiqi smiled and passed the paper in her hand to Su Yue, "Pass this to Fang Kui. This time, the Four Nation Youth Competition will be held in Northern Zhou. We can use this opportunity to bring the Treasure Store and the Exceptional Beauty House to a higher level!"
Seeing Murong Qiqi talking about money, Su Yue smiled, "Young miss, we will be able to 'wash clean' soon, right?"
"En!" Murong Qiqi nodded.
As for 'washing clean', this was a term that Murong Qiqi came up with after she took over the Demon Domain.
The Demon Domain had always been classified as an evil sect by the righteous sects and was looked down upon. Murong Qiqi had lived in the Demon Domain for five years and was very attached to it. After she took over the Demon Domain from her adoptive father, she had been thinking about how to let the people of the Demon Domain appear in the light of day. This was what she meant by 'washing clean'.
As a top-notch assassin organization, the people of the Demon Domain did not know how to do anything other than killing. From the day Murong Qiqi became the leader of the Demon Domain, she swore to herself that she would give them a new life, a new start.
No one was born with a passion for blood and slaughter. Many people had no choice but to walk this path. She had experienced the hardships and dangers involved. She could deeply understand the despair of living in darkness, so she hoped to bring everyone a bright life.
Therefore, Murong Qiqi used the identity of the Brilliant Young Noble to create one miracle after another from the Treasure Store to the Supreme Beauty Shop.
The world only knew that Young Master Guang Hua was brimming with talent, but no one knew that she was the Poison Fairy that everyone in the Jianghu was terrified of. No one knew that the Treasure House and the House of Exceptional Beauties, from the shopkeepers to the waiters, were all killers of the Demon Area.
These were just the prelude.
Once Mingyue Cheng seized the throne and obtained the "Special Passage Pass", she would build the "Number One Manor in the World" in the Sixteen Prefectures of Serene and Cloud. She would do business in the five prefectures and earn money from the four seas! She wanted the Number One Manor in the World to become the Number One Manor in the World. At that time, everyone in the Demonic Realm would be able to hold their heads high and start a brand new life!
This time, Shangguan Wuji, as the envoy to escort the princess to a faraway place, was promoted to Ding Yuan General. He specially took care of Murong Qiqi's basic necessities and ensured her safety.
Along the way, Shangguan Wuji personally inquired and checked on everything, no matter how big or small.
Escorting his sweetheart to a faraway place and watching her become someone else's wife was undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing for Shangguan Wuji. Every time he saw Murong Qiqi's indifferent expression, Shangguan Wuji's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, piece by piece, dripping with blood.
Another day passed and the sun set in the west. The long procession stopped and set up camp. Shangguan Wuji rode his horse and stopped outside Murong Qiqi's carriage. "Princess, we will reach the Stone Gate Pass tomorrow."
The Stone Gate Pass was the border between Xiqi and Beizhou. After passing the Stone Gate Pass, they would arrive at Beizhou.
Although she was a martial artist, Murong Qiqi could not stand sitting on the bumpy carriage all day. Her body felt like it was falling apart. Hearing that it was time to rest, Murong Qiqi got off the carriage with the help of Su Mei and Su Yue.
The closer they got to the north, the flatter and more desolate the terrain became. They could not see the green mountains and clear waters of Xiqi. All they could see was the sky and the land. Moreover, it was already the beginning of winter and the grass had already turned yellow. The entire land was vast and desolate, looking even more tragic.
"Princess, after passing the Stone Gate Pass, we will enter Beizhou. If we travel day and night, we will only need ten days to reach the capital of Beizhou. "Shangguan Wuji got off the horse and came to Murong Qiqi's side, explaining the journey to her.
"Ten days, there are only ten days left …" Murong Qiqi felt a headache at the thought of having to stay in the carriage for another ten days. However, she was a 'princess' and could not ride on a horse. She could only hide in the carriage. It would be even more difficult to pass the next few days.
Murong Qiqi's expression, in Shangguan Wuji's eyes, had a different meaning.
Indeed, she did not want to go to Beizhou and marry Feng Cang! If that was the case, why not bring her away, the further the better!
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. There was no wind. A full moon hung quietly in the sky. It was another fifteenth night.
Feng Cang had already fallen asleep long ago, and the one thousand Eagle Riders under his command did as usual. They set up a hundred tents, surrounding Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi's tents like two huge hugs, protecting them within.
It was late at night. Apart from the guards, everyone else was sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, two bird cries could be heard. "Cuckoo! Cuckoo! "Then, a gust of wind blew, and arrows with long fiery tails were shot over.
"Assassins!"
The bugle sounded, and the Eagle Riders faced the enemy without any panic. There were five hundred people, dressed in black clothes and black pants. Their faces were covered with black cloth, revealing only their black eyes. "Kill!"
"Protect the princess!" Shangguan Wuji shouted and rushed towards Murong Qiqi's tent.
The night attack came suddenly. The five hundred people were well-trained and were no weaker than the Eagle Riders. Moreover, they seemed to be determined to die, so they attacked even more ruthlessly. The scene was chaotic, and the smell of blood and fire filled the air.
