After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 231 Xiaoxian Returns Home

Outside the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, a man who looked like a general was riding on a tall horse. He held the whip in his right hand and pointed at the plaque at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion and said.

The attitude is extremely arrogant and domineering.

"Sir, my prince is in the front hall receiving an imperial decree. Please wait a little longer."

The doorman of Prince Ning's mansion is an old man who has followed Prince Ning for many years. He has even seen the old emperor. Facing the domineering general in front of him, he is calm and composed, and speaks in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"How dare you! A mere doorman is so arrogant and disrespectful! No wonder there are always disasters happening in Prince Ning's mansion!"

The general on horseback looked even more arrogant at this time, "You! Hurry up and go into the mansion and bring your prince and the other two young masters out to me. Have them follow me to Kyoto immediately."

"Military Master, if you insist on having my son leave the palace right now, you must first tell me his name, so that I can go into the palace and report back."

The concierge spoke calmly and calmly, "As for how His Royal Highness will deal with this, it is really beyond the capacity of a small concierge like me to answer."

"Bah! You little gatekeeper, how dare you ask this general's name? Just let your prince come out right away!" The general raised the whip in the air, and with a "snap" sound, it drew a circle. The sound of the explosion made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.

"Master Jun...you!"

The concierge frowned slightly, his face solemn.

He clasped his hands and was about to continue speaking, but he saw the general on horseback waving the whip in his hand and hitting him in the face.

The incident happened suddenly, and the doorman was about to dodge, but it was too late.

"Ugh!"

He simply closed his eyes and planned to take the oncoming whip.

It was strange that he clearly felt the strong wind from the whip approaching his face, but after he was distracted, the force suddenly disappeared.

When the gateman opened his eyes, he saw a young girl in pretty clothes. She was holding the whip swung by the general with her right hand. With a sudden force, she dragged the general off the tall horse.

With a "bang", the general fell heavily to the ground, landing in the mud.

"Ouch..."

Perhaps because he was caught off guard by the fall, the general lay on the ground and groaned, "You! You! You are so brave! Soldiers, quickly capture her for me!"

"Crash!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers behind the general immediately drew their weapons and surrounded the girl again.

"Humph, I don't want to bother with you." The girl didn't care at all when she saw this. Instead, she turned to the doorman and smiled, "Uncle Wu, did that dog official hurt you?"

The doorman finally came to his senses. He opened his eyes and looked at the girl carefully, his expression slowly changing from confusion to surprise.

"Your Highness... Princess!" He knelt on his knees, "This old servant Wu Tian greets Your Highness! Princess, you are finally back to the palace!"

After the surprise, the doorman, Old Wu, actually cried for joy.

"Uncle Wu, please get up quickly. Are my father and mother okay?"

Xia Xiaoxian asked as she reached out to help Old Wu up. After she carefully checked and confirmed that Old Wu was not injured, she turned to the general lying on the ground and the soldiers who had surrounded him and said, "The princess is here, who dares to act rashly?"

"We pay our respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Some of the sharp-eyed soldiers recognized that the person in front of them was the fairy princess who was most beloved by the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

So they quickly put down their weapons and knelt down to pay their respects to Princess Xia Xiaoxian.

Even the extremely arrogant general just now stood up tremblingly and said, "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Are you Zhang Rui or Xie Gui?"

Xia Xiaoxian tilted her head and looked the general up and down carefully before asking, "Since you are here to pick up our prince to go to Beijing, why are you showing off in front of the Prince Ning's mansion?"

"Your Highness, this is Zhang Rui!"

"Where's Xie Gui? Didn't you two come to Prince Ning's mansion to pick him up?"

Zhang Rui was secretly groaning in his heart at this moment. Originally, he and Xie Gui came to Prince Ning's Mansion together under the imperial order.

The new emperor asked them to send the Prince of Ning's Mansion and the other two sons of Prince Ning back to Kyoto first, and then lead troops to search the Prince of Ning's Mansion and escort the crazy Xia Yu and the bedridden Shen Yuyao back to Kyoto.

The reason why the new emperor wanted to bring several young masters of Prince Ning's Mansion back to Kyoto first was that he wanted to use them as hostages. In that way, there would be no need to worry about not being able to escort Xia Yu and Shen Yuyao out of Yanjing City!

The new emperor knew very well the status of Xia Yu and Shen Yuyao in the hearts of the people of Yanjing City.

However, when he was about to reach Yanjing, his deputy general Zhang Xin suddenly lobbied him.

He said that he would go to Ning Wang Mansion to inquire about the news for Zhang Rui first. If nothing unexpected happened, he would send a signal to let Zhang Rui enter Ning Wang Mansion one step ahead of Xie Gui.

After several young masters were sent out of Yanjing, Zhang Rui, who entered the mansion first, not only could take the credit, but could also search Prince Ning's mansion alone first.

There are obvious benefits to searching such a huge palace on your own.

Zhang Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, and really let Zhang Xin enter Yanjing City a day earlier.

Early this morning, when he saw the signal flare sent by Zhang Xin, he rode his horses at full speed and led his troops to surround Prince Ning's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to lead his troops to break into the palace on the pretext of the gatekeeper's disrespect, he happened to run into the fairy princess of Prince Ning's palace returning to the palace.

Didn't she go away to cultivate immortality?

How come we met by chance?

What bad luck!

It was a good and lucrative job, but why did he end up with her?

Although Zhang Rui was extremely unhappy, he did not dare to show it at all.

All the civil and military officials of the Great Xia Dynasty knew that the eldest princess, Xia Xiaoxian, of the Ning Wang Mansion in Yanjing, had some magical powers since she was a child. Any official who offended her would suffer a disaster within three days.

"Your Highness, General Xie is still outside the city of Yanjing. I have been ordered to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to welcome the Crown Prince to Kyoto to pay homage to the late emperor." Zhang Rui smiled, cupped his hands, and limped to Xia Xiaoxian to answer.

The several young masters of Prince Ning's Mansion had not yet left Yanjing, so he did not dare to search the mansion openly.

"Oh? General Zhang seems to be more diligent than General Xie."

Xia Xiaoxian first curled her lips deliberately, then turned her head and said softly to Zhang Rui: "Since General Zhang has explained his intention, then follow me into the palace. After reporting to my mother, I will let the prince go to Kyoto with you."

Zhang Rui looked up and saw Xia Xiaoxian pouting. He was a little panicked, but when he saw that Xia Xiaoxian looked fine, he felt relieved, "That's good too!"

After saying this, he signaled the soldiers behind him to retreat about seven or eight feet, "You all retreat first, wait for me to welcome the prince out, and then leave Yanjing City."
