Chapter 347 1 The group returns to the witch village again
Yu Jiuer received the news the next day and hurried back to the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
At that time, the Eighth Princess had already woken up and was leaning against the head of the bed, gazing affectionately at Shang Buqun who was feeding her medicine.
Judging from the situation, it's developing quite fast! The Miaojiang King finally did a good thing.
Shang Buqun glanced at Yu Jiuer who walked in with a grin, and said to her unkindly: "Go and tell the Sixth Prince that the Eighth Princess is mine! If he needs it, I can buy him a thousand beautiful women! You are so proactive, go and help me with this matter."
After seeing his own heart clearly, Shang Buqun had no choice but to shamelessly snatch his wife away.
The Sixth Prince followed Yu Jiuer in and heard this, and said generously: "You saved my life several times, so why not give you a wife? I don't need a woman!
You are both my adopted parents. I am really happy for you that lovers finally get married. However, as the princess of the foreign marriage alliance, the Eighth Princess still has to be my prince consort on the surface, but secretly... she is yours!"
Shang Buqun put down his bowl and bowed awkwardly to the Sixth Prince to express his gratitude.
Yu Jiuer smiled slyly and said, "Then it's settled. The Eighth Princess will have to bear the hardship and pretend to be a respectful couple with the Sixth Prince during the day, and serve you, the real prince, at night!"
The Eighth Princess' originally pale face was suddenly made red by what she said. She said weakly, "The Miao King almost wiped us out. How can you still be in the mood to joke?"
"The Miaojiang King has become more and more fearless, relying on the support of the Fifth Prince and others. He does not take the Princess of the Great Dong Dynasty seriously at all. We don't know when the prince will come back. We have to save ourselves!" Yu Jiuer said, looking at the Sixth Prince and asked,
"I heard that you showed off your skills last night, scared off a large number of shadow guards, and captured thousands of Gu people?"
The Sixth Prince nodded and sighed, "My trick is just a trifle. The flying insect Gu can make people feel itchy, but the itching can only last for half an incense stick, and it has no killing power! The spell that controls the mother Gu in the Gu person's body is just like that. It can only make their whistle temporarily ineffective. If they continue to whistle, the mother Gu will continue to control the Gu person to kill people!"
"Don't be discouraged! You've been great! Without your 'little tricks', you would have been doomed last night!" Yu Jiuer patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Shang Buqun's brows were grim as he said, "The Miaojiang King is extremely determined to kill His Highness the Sixth Prince. After failing this time, he will surely come back again. We can't stay here any longer!"
"Yes! We are weak and we are no match for him. We cannot fight him head-on!" Yu Jiuer fell into deep thought. After a moment, she turned her head and asked the Sixth Prince,
"We captured thousands of Gu people last night. How long will it take you to wake them up? They are all civilians from the Great East Dynasty who know some martial arts. If we wake them up, they might be able to help us!"
"If we want them to wake up, we must kill the mother poison that controls their minds, which will take at least half a year." The Sixth Prince said with embarrassment.
"I'm afraid I can't afford to support so many Gu people in the mansion! I plan to send them to the Witch Village tomorrow and put them together with the 500 Gu people I captured earlier. However... the original 500 Gu people have already consumed a lot of Miss Xinyu's food, and I..."
Yu Jiuer understood his predicament. The King of Miaojiang only did superficial work and gave the Sixth Prince a mansion but did not give him any money. He was indeed very poor.
The richest family in the Witch Village is Xinyu's. Her parents are the most capable wizards in the village and earn more than others. It is rare for her to take in those 500 poisoned people and give them a bowl of porridge every day to sustain their lives. If she crams more than a thousand people in, can she agree without Jun Mo's request?
Shang Buqun took over the conversation and said, "That's not a big deal! Tomorrow I will order the merchant transport team to deliver food to the Witch Village, and then hire someone to take care of these Gu people until they regain their sanity."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Prime Minister!" The Sixth Prince bowed to Shang Buqun as if relieved of a heavy burden, and continued, "I'm really not good at dealing with people!"
Yu Jiuer said to the Sixth Prince with some regret, "The Miaojiang King used a trick to deceive the people and the civil and military officials, pretending to be good to you. You and the Eighth Princess have been staying in the mansion and not seeing anyone. Instead, it gave people a reason to talk, which is not good for you.
Sixth Prince, you must learn to make friends with the dignitaries in the court, and befriend the royal relatives of Miaojiang, and use them to deal with the King of Miaojiang!"
"I know, I will try my best!" There was helplessness in the Sixth Prince's tone, but there was determination in his eyes.
Yu Jiuer has always known that the Sixth Prince is an extremely smart and ruthless man. If she pushes him hard, maybe she can push him to his limits.
Doing this is like forcing things to happen, but there is no other way!
If he wants revenge, he must learn to win people's hearts; if he wants to fight for power and protect himself, he must make friends with ministers in the court.
They couldn't stay by his side and protect him forever. If he didn't stand up, he would be killed by the Miao King sooner or later.
Yu Jiuer added, "Also, the fight at the Sixth Prince's mansion last night was so intense, and the government officials will definitely come to inquire about it soon. You should be filled with righteous indignation and tell the people in the government about the crimes of the men in black last night. Make a big fuss and let the government officials investigate!"
"But the identities of those men in black last night were completely unknown. How can we find out who ordered them? That devil has always done things perfectly and it is impossible for him to leave any evidence." When mentioning this, the Sixth Prince frowned unconsciously.
"Even if we can't find out the truth, we must make things difficult for the King of Miao! We must let him know that you are no pushover! You can make things difficult for him in any way you can think of!" Yu Jiuer encouraged him to go out and get involved in the officialdom. He wanted revenge, and this was a compulsory course.
Shang Buqun thought for a moment and said, "Let's move back to the Witch Village together! That's where witchcraft is prevalent. The Miao king will be somewhat cautious and won't dare to attack the village rashly!"
The Sixth Prince raised his hands in agreement: "Great, let's go to the Witch Village quickly. I have nightmares every night living here. Only in the Witch Village can I sleep peacefully!"
The power disparity was too great, so the best option was to run away. Yu Jiuer sighed and said, "Okay! Let's go hide first! We'll talk about it when the prince comes back."
The group returned to the Witch Village again, and Xinyu was still full of hostility towards Yu Jiuer.
However, Wu Cuihua welcomed them as always.
Yu Jiuer said to Wu Cuihua, "Master Wu, your Gu wine has been sold for a while, but the villagers' lives still haven't improved much!"
“How can it be so fast? As long as the villagers can fill their stomachs, it will be a blessing from God! We can only take it slow!” Wu Cuihua smiled so much that her face was wrinkled, and she seemed quite satisfied with the current progress.
Yu Jiuer made a plan and said, "If I can find a way to make the villagers of Witch Village worry-free in half a year, and have enough money to build houses, would you be interested?"
Since she's going to stay here temporarily, she can't just sit there doing nothing, right?
"really?"
Yu Jiuer nodded and then asked Wu Cuihua: "You sell Gu wine mainly to get rich, right?"
"Of course, otherwise why would we work so hard to search for thousand-year-old Gu worms all over the mountains and plains, and then refine Gu worms and brew Gu wine day and night? Isn't it for money?"
The smile on Yu Jiuer's face widened. This was exactly what she wanted. She had been thinking about this for a long time!
She said happily: "You are after profit, I am after fame, why don't you cooperate with Yinshan County, we can work together to create a Yinshan Gu wine, which will be sold well in all countries and become famous all over the world, how do you think?"
