Chapter 350: Chapter 350.1 Have Something to Tell You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Qing was right. Something happened to Ji Shuisheng on his way to Tartan.
Before he could enter Ta City, he saw Princess Saiya riding a horse from Ta City toward him.
She seemed to be crying. She whipped the horse with all her might and the horse she was sitting on let out a series of painful cries. The snow was so deep, the horse ran so fast, and the horse’s misstep threw out Princess Saiya.
Ji Shuisheng watched as Princess Saiya fell from the sky onto a hill, rolled into the snow, and disappeared.
He did not want to meddle in other people’s business and rode away, but the palace maids who had caught up with her saw him and stopped Ji Shuisheng from leaving. They knelt on the ground and begged him to save her.
Ji Shuisheng was forced to save Princess Saiya. If Ji Shuisheng wanted to achieve great things in the future, he had to build a good relationship with the Tartan Kingdom. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he led his troops into the capital and the Tartan Kingdom took over the rear.
Since they wanted to build a good relationship, this unruly princess had to be saved. Otherwise, to shirk responsibility, these palace maids might say something to the Emperor.
He had thought that he had fallen into a snowflake, but he did not expect that there would be a large crack below. Saiya had coincidentally fallen into this crack.
Faced with the pleading gazes of the palace maids, Ji Shuisheng could only tie a rope around his waist. The other end of the rope was connected to a large rock, and he went down through the crack to save her. n()OvElB1n
It was too dark down there. Ji Shuisheng took out a lighter and blew on it. Through the lighter’s faint light, he realized this was an underground palace. The tomb was massive, and there were many precious funerary objects. The people buried inside should be the royal family.
Saiya had fallen right into the main tomb. She had fallen beside the coffin with blood all over her forehead. Her face was pale, and her eyes were tightly shut. Ji Shuisheng was worried that she had fallen to her death, so he went to check on her. He saw that she was only unconscious and not in danger.
Ji Shuisheng checked her limp left arm and realized that it was broken.
Ji Shuisheng did not carry Saiya up to avoid suspicion. He untied the rope around his waist and tied her up. He pulled the rope up himself and pulled Saiya up from above.
“Carry the princess onto the horse!”
Ji Shuisheng did not plan to touch Saiya and ordered the palace maids to carry Saiya onto the horse. It was already good enough that he had saved her, and he did not want to be labeled as frivolous.
Ji Shuisheng had given all his gentleness and patience to Su Qing. He did not pity Saiya and only wanted to stay away from her. A non-existent fiancee had made Su Qing angry and left him.
If there was gossip about Saiya, Su Qing might not pay attention to him for the rest of his life.
If Su Qing knew that Ji Shuisheng was so pure and self-loving that he was unmoved by beauty, she would give him a good kiss.
The palace maids were unhappy with Ji Shuisheng’s cold attitude, but he had already rescued the princess so they couldn’t say anything else. A few of them spent a lot of effort carrying Saiya onto the horse.
Saiya was unconscious, so it was dangerous for her to sit on the horse. The palace maids glanced at Ji Shuisheng again and saw that he was untying the rope on the big rock. He did not even look at them and was about to leave. “Young Master, lend us the rope!”
The palace maid plucked up her courage to beg Ji Shuisheng. Su Qing made this rope and was unwilling to give it to anyone.
“Each of you go up and carry the princess. You can take a belt and tie you and the princess together.”
Ji Shuisheng didn’t lend them the rope in the end. After tying it up, he tied it behind the saddle and wanted to leave.
Ji Shuisheng cupped his hands at the palace maids.
“The princess has already been rescued. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“There are still remnants of the First Prince in Ta City. For the safety of the princess, please protect us.”
Fine, he still insisted.
Ji Shuisheng’s face was full of impatience. He felt that Saiya was a troublesome god. She was unruly and willful. Her mother and second brother had lost their power, yet she still did not know how to restrain herself.
Why did she run out since she knew that the First Prince’s men wanted to assassinate her?
Ji Shuisheng had no choice but to follow them slowly. The more he walked, the more annoyed and anxious he became.
They walked from dawn to dusk and finally entered Ta City. When the princess woke up and knew that Ji Shuisheng had saved her, she cried and called Ji Shuisheng over.
Ji Shuisheng didn’t sit on his horse and coldly cupped his fists.
“Princess, do you have any orders?”
“Please send me into the palace; it’s unsafe at night.”
Seeing Ji Shuisheng’s distant appearance, Saiya was very sad, but when she thought of what she had to face when she returned to the palace, she decided to let Ji Shuisheng send her back.
“Alright.”
Ji Shuisheng was helpless. He was already in Tartan anyway. If he sent her to the palace, the old Emperor would still owe him a favor.
The more favors he owed him, the more advantageous it would be for the future stability of the border between the two countries.
Seeing that Ji Shuisheng had agreed, Saiya ignored the pain from her broken leg and smiled at Ji Shuisheng. Unfortunately, Ji Shuisheng did not even look at her.
Ji Shuisheng sent Saiya to the palace. As expected, the Emperor was grateful for saving his daughter’s life and insisted on holding a banquet to entertain Ji Shuisheng.
He did not save them for anything. The Emperor rewarded Ji Shuisheng with a hundred taels of gold, and Mo City’s military expenditure increased significantly.
After the meal, the Emperor did not allow Ji Shuisheng to stay outside the relay station. He asked the eunuch to send Ji Shuisheng to the yurt in the palace to entertain the guests. He even thoughtfully wondered if he needed a palace maid to serve him and could stay and sleep with him.
The Emperor was already used to this kind of way of entertaining guests. Usually, when foreign envoys came, they would find girls to accompany them. Ji Shuisheng refused flatly, and the Emperor’s impression of him improved.
During the banquet and conversation, they felt that this young man was proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts. The arrogance between his brows could not be underestimated. This person would soar to the sky in time.
Right now, the Great Xia Kingdom is in a mess. The Emperor and Prime Minister Wan’s battle had already reached a white-hot point.
There were rebellions everywhere. Hu had already taken three cities, and other countries with ambition and ability were also ready to make trouble for the Great Xia Kingdom.
The Great Xia Kingdom was no longer as prosperous and peaceful as it was when General Xiao Heng was around. The Great Xia Kingdom was now riddled with holes and was on the verge of collapse.
The Emperor of Tartan was not a person without ambition. He had sworn to Xiao Heng before the rising sun in the east that as long as the Xiao family’s army was alive, he would never invade Great Xia.
Because of this oath, the old Emperor did not take advantage of the situation and let his eldest son attack Mo City and Jingshi Dao.
When he was chatting with Ji Shuisheng, the old Emperor saw the ambition to dominate the world in his eyes. There was even a moment when he thought he saw General Xiao Heng standing before him.
Previously, he had felt a little regretful about letting Yeluchun marry Xiaoying as the Fujin. However, after chatting with Ji Shuisheng, the old Emperor felt that his son’s decision was not bad. Such a powerful brother-in-law would only help his son and not harm him.
Ji Shuisheng followed the eunuch to the room. The eunuch brought hot water for him. After thanking him, Ji Shuisheng went over to plug the door of the yurt from the inside. Only then did he undress and step into the bathtub to bathe?
His arms were lazily resting on the side of the bucket, and his head was slightly tilted back as he closed his eyes and took a comfortable bath. His mind was filled with Su Qing and the big things he would do next.
“Young Master Ji, I am Saiya. I have something to say to you..”
