Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 1658: The Millennium Lord (10)

The pain Jin Zhi gave feels like it’s stabbing my heart, but these things belong to Chuzheng, what can she do about it.

"Thank you, miss, for your kind offer."

"..."

It’s not about being generous, I’m just glad you can help me deal with these things.

The Bastard timely stopped Chuzheng from saying something outrageous.

Yin Shen and Chuzheng didn’t communicate much, but Princess Changhuan always felt Yin Shen was strange, he definitely wasn’t usually this good-natured...

"Your Highness, it’s late, we can head back now." Yin Shen got the tea leaves, checked the time, and immediately called for Princess Changhuan.

In a spot where Yin Shen couldn’t see, Princess Changhuan rolled her eyes dramatically, but still stood up to bid farewell.

-

In the following days, Princess Changhuan and Yin Shen reported punctually every day.

The time for Princess Changhuan to pray had come, and she was preparing to return to the palace.

"Sister, sister..." Princess Changhuan ran over alone: "I’m going back to the palace, when will I be able to see you again?"

Chuzheng was a bit surprised: "When are you leaving?"

Princess Changhuan: "Leaving shortly."

Princess Changhuan had snuck over, not daring to stay too long, fearing Yin Shen would send someone to find her.

Once she finished speaking with Chuzheng, she immediately returned.

Being a princess was not easy for her.

Chuzheng watched Princess Changhuan leave, after a while, she said: "Jin Zhi, pack up, we’re heading back too."

Initially staying here was to deal with Zhu Dongfeng, but the Good Person Card came, and now Zhu Dongfeng is punished, and the Good Person Card is leaving, so it’s meaningless to stay here.

"???"

Are you kidding me?

Just leaving without any preparation?

Jin Zhi took a deep breath and resigned to pack things.

-

The large group from the palace had already prepared, waiting at the temple to set off.

Princess Changhuan was escorted into a carriage, Yin Shen was riding on one side, the man’s upright figure remarkable even in a crowd.

Chuzheng’s carriage appeared leisurely, at a glance it seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, whether it was the white jade pendants hanging from the carriage or the draping light veils, they were all of superior quality.

Even the wood of the carriage and the reins were not ordinary items.

Yin Shen’s gaze fell on the horse pulling the carriage, this horse... looked like the priceless Sweat-Blooded Precious Horse?

Only a few could be found in the entire Xia Country.

The ones in Xia Country are all well-kept, yet this one is used to pull a carriage?

Just as Chuzheng lifted the curtain, she met Yin Shen’s gaze.

Yin Shen smiled, his eyebrows and eyes picturesque, smiling like a sudden bloom of mountain flowers, making the world turn into his backdrop.

Chuzheng’s fingers tightened on the curtain, calmly shifting her gaze, letting the curtain fall.

Chuzheng didn’t expect Yin Shen to send someone to ask her if she wanted to return to the Capital City together.

Chuzheng had originally planned to follow them to prevent any accidents with the Good Person Card, and directly agreed to this request.

Yin Shen then let Chuzheng’s carriage move to the front, and as a result, Princess Changhuan realized that carriage was Chuzheng’s and quickly jumped off, climbing into the carriage, no one could stop her.

Yin Shen waved a hand: "Return to the palace."

After getting on the carriage, Princess Changhuan found the inside spacious and comfortable, a thick carpet covered the floor, with wide soft couches on each side, and a collapsible table beside.

Used to lavish living in the palace, Princess Changhuan naturally recognized the expensive furnishings inside.

"Sister, where do you live in the Capital City? I’ll come visit you when I’m free." Princess Changhuan was persistent about this question.

"Haitang Street."

"Eh?" Princess Changhuan was taken aback, the houses on that street are not cheap, but considering the current lavish carriage, is anything here simple?

Princess Changhuan immediately said with a laugh: "I know that place, I’ll come look for you and treat you to delicious food, I’m really familiar with the Capital City!"

Chuzheng was noncommittal.

But inside, she didn’t believe Princess Changhuan’s boasting, a princess who had difficulty even leaving the palace, how familiar could she be with the Capital City?

Maybe because Princess Changhuan was chattering endlessly beside her, time flew by.

Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Chuzheng lifted the curtain and looked outside, the convoy had stopped on a narrow path, with a cliff on one side and a mountain cliff on the other.

Swoosh—

Suddenly, a rain of arrows shot out from the mountain cliff above.

Chuzheng’s carriage was quite conspicuous in the convoy, making it a target.

The sudden ’thud thud thud’ sound startled Princess Changhuan, causing her to huddle in fear.

Chuzheng: "..."

Little useless snack.

The carriage walls were very thick, the arrows couldn’t penetrate.

Only some arrows came through the windows, just needed to avoid them.

Chuzheng pushed the little useless snack back: "Stay still."

Seeing Chuzheng gave Princess Changhuan a particularly strong sense of security, she nodded repeatedly.

Chuzheng observed outside, and after the first wave of covert arrows from above was over, hidden people all around sprung out, and the convoy outside had already started fighting.

Yin Shen was still conspicuous in the crowd.

Looking completely unfazed in the situation.

"Eunuch traitor, meet your death!!"

Yin Shen glanced sideways at the black-clad assassin diving down from the mountain cliff, Chuzheng was about to step out when a guard beside Yin Shen leapt up, engaging with that black-clad assassin.

This group of assassins was well-trained, noticing people beside Yin Shen, they immediately sent people over, drawing his companions away one by one.

With the numerous assassins, Yin Shen was soon isolated and helpless.

He dismounted, as sitting on the horse made him too obvious a target.

An assassin saw the opportunity, launching an attack on Yin Shen.

Yin Shen casually grabbed a sword, blocking the assassin’s cleaving blade.

"Clang—"

Sparks flew as the blades clashed.

The assassin’s blade suddenly slipped downward, stabbing towards Yin Shen’s abdomen from below.

"Die!!!" the assassin shouted, just as the blade was about to pierce his body, it abruptly stopped, the blade touched his clothes but didn’t move forward.

The assassin’s eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief.

The assassin’s body slowly collapsed.

Behind him stood a girl, the wind lifting the hem of her moon-white dress, holding a sword she didn’t know where she found, with blood dripping in a line to the ground.

Her face was expressionless, indifferent and calm, as if she was not the one who had just wielded the sword.

The chaotic scene behind her seemed to come to a standstill.

That scene...

How to say, a bit shocking, and a bit indescribable.

Yin Shen’s heartbeat sped up, he just wanted to have her even more.

There was a whistling sound from behind, Chuzheng swung her arm without looking back, cutting the arrow in half.

Chuzheng stepped over the bloody ground, grabbing his arm, ordering without room for refusal: "Get in the carriage."

Yin Shen: "..."

Yin Shen was rudely shoved into the carriage by Chuzheng, she waved her hand, and silver light flickered faintly around the carriage.

Chuzheng glanced at the sword in her hand, flicking the blood off, lifting her eyes to the chaotic battlefield.

I can unleash freely now.
