Chapter 360: Chapter 380: Next, Wait
As they spoke, a few burly men got up, grabbed the weapons by their feet, ready to go capture them, but...
Just as they were about to rush forward, they suddenly saw someone heading towards Jun Ning and her group.
They were two pretty young girls, led by an old woman heavily made-up, very fat, with what seemed like a matchmaker’s mole on her face.
Following behind them was a young man, judging by his attire, he was likely a servant.
A large group of people, bold and imposing.
The burly men suddenly felt uneasy and dared not advance. Because they couldn’t be sure that there weren’t more people following those ones, just them alone.
In case there were more people behind, it would be dangerous for them to rush up.
"Hold on, let’s observe a while longer..." said the leader.
The other men, although a bit unwilling, restrained their eagerness for the sake of their lives and sat back down to wait.
On Jun Ning’s side.
After the attendant returned, he ed the events on the prairie to the Crown Prince, who immediately sent people over upon hearing it.
He sent three people, two young girls and a woman in her forties or fifties, looking like a madam.
Moreover, he came in person, humbling himself by donning a servant’s attire and disguising as a servant.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Father, why are you here?"
Jun Ning and Jing Shu both spoke, their voices tinged with disbelief at the Crown Prince’s disguise.
The Crown Prince explained, "I was afraid something might happen to you two."
After speaking, he feigned a relaxed and bored demeanor, scanning around, and when he saw the few heads hiding behind the huge grass bushes not far away, he squinted his eyes but moved on without lingering.
He scanned the surroundings broadly and then observed other areas.
After his observation, the Crown Prince was certain that there were only that group of lurking people on the prairie.
"Later, follow my arrangements to smoothly infiltrate people in." He patted Jing Shu on the shoulder, "Jing Shu, you will need to negotiate with those men later on, don’t be afraid, your father is here, nothing will happen to you."
"Father, Jing Shu is not afraid."
"That’s good..." The Crown Prince then turned to look at Jun Ning, "As for you, Ah Ning, brother knows you’re bold and fearless, but still, heed my words, be careful, don’t wander off, watch my cues."
"Understood," Jun Ning said, "Brother, you don’t need to worry about me."
.
Under the Crown Prince’s command, Jing Shu brought along Jun Ning, and two little girls about her age, along with the madam, to the front of the burly men.
Jing Shu walked at the forefront, enthusiastically telling the men, "Dear brothers, I am back again, and I have brought my three dear sisters back."
She introduced the three people beside her to the men, "This is Qing Qing, this is Hong Hong, and this is Ning Ning. They are all my good sisters, and I am taking them all to live a good life."
"Three?"
No wonder they made them wait so long, originally went to call more people, and brought so many? The brat really doesn’t listen to them!
The men silently accused Jing Shu in their hearts but showed nothing on their faces.
They carefully observed the three girls beside Jing Shu.
These three girls were quite attractive, with delicate features, fair skin, and good figures, true beauties in every sense.
Especially the one in green, with a very good temperament and an air of nobility.
The leader would surely fancy them upon seeing, they thought.
And they were quite satisfied, there’s no issue in taking them back.
But, what’s this old woman coming for?
The burly men looked puzzledly at the madam.
Because her makeup was really something else, too much white powder like a ghost, and too much blush like a monkey’s butt.
And her matchmaker’s mole was way too big.
Ugly as hell.
The burly men looked at the madam with undisguised disdain.
"Since you’re taking away my carefully trained girls, naturally I need to ask for a bit of silver coin..." The madam, however, didn’t mind the men’s disdain at all.
The madam coughed twice, pointing at the four girls beside her and said, "One girl costs a hundred taels of silver, four girls equal four hundred taels of silver, pay up now. Pay and I’ll release them, otherwise, my two guards are here, I won’t let them leave."
The "guards" the madam referred to were actually the Crown Prince and Ye Ying.
They were watching nearby, eyes sharp, nodding to anyone who glanced their way, as if confirming the madam’s words.
The men really didn’t want to spend money.
Their initial plan was to take the two girls back barehandedly. But now, four girls, well that’s not bad since they all looked quite pretty.
They could accept that, but just didn’t want to spend any money.
Whoever forced them to spend money, might as well be asking for their lives.
"Brothers, kill this ugly woman, and the two guards, then take the girls and leave..."
"Let’s all get into action."
With those words, a fight broke out.
The Crown Prince and Ye Ying had been waiting for this moment to fight.
They stepped forward, rescuing Jun Ning and Jing Shu from the men’s hands, but as for the other three...
They were originally arranged to infiltrate the Southern Barbarian tribe, even if the Crown Prince and Ye Ying were rescuing, it was a deliberate failure to rescue.
After all the fighting, the two girls weren’t rescued, they were both taken away.
But, the madam, deemed undesirable, was left behind because she was too fat and hard to carry off.
The madam tried to catch up, but was stopped by the Crown Prince, "There’s no need, those two girls will do, trust they can complete the task, kill the Southern Barbarian tribe’s leader."
Next, it was a matter of waiting for news.
Jing Shu, frightened by the fighting scene just now, kept clutching the Crown Prince’s clothes, not letting go, and he took Jing Shu back first to wait.
Jun Ning and Ye Ying went together to another place, to meet another person.
This person was none other than the chief of Black Water Village.
Before Jun Ning left, she had made a promise, and naturally, it had to be fulfilled.
She handed over the Silver Coins and the contract for the Crown Prince to help develop Black Water Village to the chief. Initially, the chief declined repeatedly, unwilling to accept, but eventually gave in to Jun Ning’s persistence and accepted.
The chief solemnly said, "Your Highness, the next time you visit Black Water Village, you will see a brand new Black Water Village."
Jun Ning had never heard the chief speak to her so solemnly, even addressing her as Your Highness?
She felt a bit uncomfortable, but seeing the chief speak like making a vow, no joking, she accepted it.
"Alright, I’ll be waiting."
"As for learning to plant and cure Gu poison, Ah Ning, do you want to learn?" The chief suddenly asked this question.
