Chapter 1969: Chapter 981: Tenderness in the Dead of Night (Xinyang vs Xiao Ji Special) (Part 2)

"Are you sure it’s a man?" Princess Xinyang asked.

"I heard his voice," Xiao Ji said.

Princess Xinyang was astonished: "You could hear it from so far away."

Xiao Ji smiled faintly: "Your man is quite formidable."

My man... Princess Xinyang felt a bit uneasy with the sudden label.

Xiao Ji seemed unaware that he’d said anything shocking; he looked in the direction of the group and said, "Those Dongyi soldiers are of high rank, they look like the personal guards of the Dongyi King."

When it came to serious matters, Princess Xinyang’s demeanor turned solemn: "Are they escorting the Dongyi King?"

Xiao Ji, that man, shook his head: "No, the Dongyi King is at least five or six years older. This is a young man."

Princess Xinyang pondered: "The son of the Dongyi King?"

Xiao Ji replied seriously: "We can’t rule out the possibility. But why is he covering himself so thoroughly?"

The two went to inquire with an old woman for information.

The old woman said she knew nothing about it; she was just a rural old woman whose farthest trip had been to a forest ten li away and the most esteemed person she’d ever met was the village chief.

After returning to the house, Princess Xinyang saw him deep in thought, knowing he had a plan in mind.

She asked, "Are you planning to do something? There are many of them, and you haven’t recovered from your injuries; you can’t match them."

Xiao Ji said, "I won’t fight them head-on."

Princess Xinyang’s expression changed slightly: "Are you thinking of... impersonating that person to meet the Dongyi King?"

Xiao Ji did not deny it.

Princess Xinyang clenched her fists: "Are you crazy? You’ve only been healing for three days! Your wounds haven’t even healed yet, and at this critical moment, you want to assassinate the Dongyi King? Isn’t that just courting death?"

Xiao Ji laughed easily: "As long as I can capture him, I won’t die."

Princess Xinyang frowned: "What if you fail to capture him?"

Xiao Ji’s smile faded: "Xiao En and Xiao Ze are still in the Dongyi King’s hands. I’ve been missing for three days. At that time, the Dongyi people saw me fall into the trap and were gravely injured when Chang Jing pulled me out. If I don’t show up for too long, the Dongyi might assume I died from my injuries."
