The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 111: Many obstacles on the way back to the Imperial City

Wang Jingru brought out some water and asked them to wash their faces. Then they cleaned themselves up and Wang Jingru said, "Just make do with it for now!"

We will probably be in town soon. I will buy one or two carriages there, and you can ride in them. You can rest in the town and get ready.

I am in a hurry and don't have much time to waste. Your brothers and father are still imprisoned in the palace.

I’m afraid that if I go back too late, your loved ones might meet with an accident and be gone.

Several princesses said that they were not afraid of hardship, so Wang Jingru had to lead the horse and walk back with them. Whoever was tired could ride on the horse for a while. However, this big chestnut horse drank the spiritual spring water in the space and became very spiritual.

No matter how Wang Jingru rode, no one else could get on. Wang Jingru had no choice but to let them follow her.

Fortunately, the town ahead was not far away. They arrived at the town before dark, asked for a few guest rooms, and ordered a bath. Wang Jingru found some clothes from the space, handed them to the maids beside them, and asked the six of them to tidy themselves up.

The three maids first served their master, and after she had taken a bath and put on gorgeous dresses, they served the three princesses.

They went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. They were so dirty that the water had changed their color.

I finally got myself ready, and when I changed my dress I discovered that it was made of the best fabric in the world.

Wang Jingru did not classify the clothes she gave them into good or bad categories. They were all the same, just in different styles.

The styles of the clothes worn by the princesses were relatively new, while those worn by the maids were somewhat ordinary, but the materials were the same.

The three princesses lived a comfortable life and began to act like a show-off, asking Wang Jingru to prepare cakes and exquisite hairpins for them.

Wang Jingru was so angry that she laughed. She looked at the three princesses and said, you are still princesses only because your father is still alive in the palace and is still breathing.

If you are gone, who will you show off to? Exquisite jewelry. You don't even think about how much silver it would cost.

The soldiers in the barracks don't even have food to eat. You don't think about the future, but instead think about whether you are living comfortably. If I had known this, I would have abandoned you and would not have taken care of you.

The soldiers fought hard to protect your country. But you enjoyed the glory and wealth behind their backs and never treated them as human beings.

You guys find a way to buy the exquisite jewelry! I'm in a hurry to get on with my journey, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, you guys can enjoy yourself in this inn, as for winning money.

Write me an IOU and I will lend you some money. You can pay me back someday. Wang Jingru was really angry this time. He didn't know whether this emperor was extremely incompetent and extravagant.

But seeing that these princes and princesses do not treat the common people as human beings, there is no need to continue protecting them.

She had to think about her future and see what Xuanyuan Lei thought. If Xuanyuan Lei wanted to be emperor, then she would help him try his best. If he didn't want to be emperor, then she would let her husband sit on the throne, or let her uncle sit on the throne.

After hearing this, the three princesses angrily accused Wang Jingru loudly, "Wang Jingru, you are also a princess conferred by your father. Without the title given by your father, who are you?"

Since you are enjoying the treatment of a princess, you should be grateful and don't be ungrateful.

We are our father’s biological daughters, real princesses, and you are just a common princess.

I asked you to spend some money, what's wrong with that? You are so long-winded. Wang Jingru was so angry that she laughed. It seems that the emperor really needs to be replaced by someone else.

Otherwise, when peace comes, I will have no good life. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I looked at the three princesses and said, since you are so capable, why do you still rely on others?

I only care about you because Xuanyuan Lei is my elder brother. Otherwise, I would kill you three princesses here today.

After that, Wang Jingru returned to her room. She lay on the bed and thought about the future. She fell asleep while thinking. Before dawn, Wang Jingru paid the room fee, rode away on horseback, and left the three princesses there.

Let them fend for themselves! When the three princesses woke up, they knocked on Wang Jingru's door, jumped for a while, and found that no one was there.

Then he went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper, who told him that the guest had left on horseback early in the morning and the room fee had already been paid.

But I only paid for one day's room. If you still want to stay, please pay the room fee.

The three princesses returned to the room and were all dumbfounded. They didn't expect Wang Jingru to really leave them here. If they had known earlier, they shouldn't have said such things. The three of them blamed each other.

You blame me and I blame you. It's okay. What jewelry do you want? When we get to the emperor's uncle, we won't get anything. You actually asked Wang Jingru to buy jewelry for us.

Don't you know how stingy she is? This time, Wang Jingru gave us travel expenses, bought us clothes, and provided us with food, which was already very good.

You blame me and I blame you, and we start arguing with each other.

As the quarrel progressed, the three of them started fighting each other, tearing each other's hair, scratching each other's faces, and pulling each other's clothes, just like three shrews.

Finally, the three maids separated them. The three princesses said, "Please stop fighting. It has come to this point. Think about what to do! I still have two taels of silver in my hand."

Princess Jingru asked me to buy the leftovers from the meal yesterday. Even if we go to the imperial city, we have to save some money and eat steamed buns and cakes. We can't waste anything. The eldest princess told the maid that the clothes we six people are wearing should be changed into some coarse cloth clothes!

We need to change into some men's clothes, otherwise the six of us will be too conspicuous when we go out, and we're afraid we'll attract those bad men.

The three princesses nodded after hearing this. They took off their clothes in the room and sold them at the pawn shop.

After returning, she changed into six sets of clothes. The three maids took off their clothes and went to the pawnshop to sell them.

After they came back, they didn't dare to eat big fish and meat. Each of the three maids carried a bundle, which contained water bags, steamed buns, pancakes, and some pickles.

The six of them walked towards the imperial city on foot. Wang Jingru left the princesses behind, feeling extremely happy, and rode her horse faster and faster.

They did not dare to stop along the way and hurried on. They would reach the imperial city in one day. When they were resting in an inn at night, a group of men in black came.

These people came specifically to kill Wang Jingru. King Xiaoyao knew that Wang Jingru was quite capable, so he didn't know why he was afraid of her. He just felt that Yu Wenhua and Wu Tianyang's army was short of food and was about to starve to death.

As long as Wang Jingru went there, they had food to eat.

Now he has come to the Imperial City again. The army in the Imperial City is also short of food. Not to mention, their King Xiaoyao lives in the Imperial City. With so many soldiers, who doesn't lack food?

But Wang Jingru was alone, so where did she get the food from? Was there someone behind her who was specifically transporting the food? Was it Wang Jingru who took the lead to paralyze herself?

The more King Xiaoyao thought about it, the more he believed this to be the case, so he quickly sent a few people to investigate the way Wang Jingru came.

If there really is a large army transporting food, then he would have to send people to intercept the food immediately. There are also hundreds of thousands of soldiers in their imperial city, and they are almost out of food.

If the food supply runs out, they will have to rob the merchants in the city and the food from the people.

He couldn't let his army starve to death. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. King Xiaoyao sat in a wheelchair waiting for news. The people sent to kill Wang Jingru had not returned yet.

It is said that King Xiaoyao was really cruel. He sent more than 20 people to kill a weak woman like her.

Wang Jingru fought a life-and-death battle with more than 20 people.

He was afraid of hurting the people in the inn, so he rode a horse out of the town. The men in black did not ride horses, so they were slower in chasing her. Wang Jingru disappeared from their sight on horseback.

Wang Jingru traveled overnight, thinking that the men in black behind her could not catch up with her and she would be safe.

Unexpectedly, there was another ambush ahead, and this wave of men in black was even more numerous, more than 30 people. In front of so many people, he couldn't enter the space.

Wang Jingru was surrounded and fought fiercely with more than 30 men in black. He was agile and his moves were sharp, showing extraordinary fighting power.

However, the men in black were numerous, they cooperated well with each other, and their offensive was like a tide, which gradually put Wang Jingru into a passive position.

Wang Jingru was not afraid at all. She used her skills skillfully and kept looking for flaws in the man in black.

In the egg, it sometimes fights in close combat and sometimes uses its leg techniques, making it difficult for the black man to figure out his attack patterns.

As time went by, Wang Jingru's strength gradually depleted. She quickly got a cup of spiritual spring water and drank it, and her strength immediately recovered.

He knew that he could not fall down and had to hold on. Finally, he seized an opportunity, successfully broke through the defense line of the men in black, and temporarily got rid of the predicament.

But the battle was not over. The men in black were chasing her relentlessly. Wang Jingru was panting from exhaustion, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Wang Jingru mounted her warhorse and ran quickly forward, with the man in black behind her chasing her relentlessly.

Wang Jingru saw that the turning point was just ahead and there was a forest blocking the view. She squeezed her legs against the horse's belly and shouted "Gee!", and the chestnut horse quickened its pace.

After turning the corner, Wang Jingru and the horse disappeared. After entering the space, Wang Jingru returned to the room, panting with exhaustion.

After having a chance to catch her breath, she felt the pain in her arms. There were knife wounds on both her arms and legs. Wang Jingru used her mind to scoop up some spiritual spring water.

I put it in the bathtub, filled it with a bucket of warm water, and sat in it to take a bath.

The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after taking a shower, the wound had completely healed. Wang Jingru then lay on the soft big bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The people behind us caught up quickly, and when we turned the corner, we were dumbfounded. The road was completely bare, with no one in sight. We could see quite far away with the night light.

Where did he go? He ran too fast. Everyone looked towards the grove at the same time. He ran too fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

But they couldn't get into the woods. Heitian scared him, so it was very easy to hide alone in the woods. Of course, it was even easier to attack someone by surprise.

More than 30 people in black looked at each other. They gritted their teeth and entered the woods. At this time, Wang Jingru had already entered the space.

This time he did not rest, holding a short knife in his hand, watching the movement outside. The men in black did not all leave separately, but went in groups of two, one in front and one behind, the two cooperated and watched the men in black coming over.

Wang Jingru found a good angle, left the space and quickly wiped the neck of a man in black. Then she hid back in the space.

The man in black who was in the same group with him turned around and saw the man fallen to the ground. He quickly leaned against a tree. When he saw that he couldn't find any enemy around him, he became even more nervous.

Wang Jingru seized the opportunity and wiped the neck of another man in black.

After wiping her neck, Wang Jingru quickly hid in the space. There were too many men in black. The other men in black heard the noise and rushed over.

Looking at the two people falling to the ground, their hair stood on end. They didn't see Wang Jingru, and even the sound of the horse's footsteps was not heard. Where did she hide?

These men in black had never encountered such a strange thing. But if they returned empty-handed, they were afraid that the emperor would blame them. So many people couldn't find a woman, and they were also leading a horse. If they told others, they would lose face as secret guards.

The men in black continued to separate. Wang Jingru continued to observe the men in black outside the space and defeated them one by one. Wang Jingru killed them one by one. She had killed more than ten people in total. As it was almost dawn, Wang Jingru did not plan to waste time with these people any more.

The man in black noticed that there were fewer and fewer people, so he blew a whistle and called for everyone to gather. When they counted the number of people, there were only 13 left. Before they could be surprised for long, they fainted on the ground one by one.

Wang Jingru did not take them into the space. These people were dangerous elements. She took a knife and slashed their necks one by one.

He came out of the woods, hid behind a big tree and entered the space. Not long after he entered the space, the group of men in black who were chasing him in the town passed by on horseback in a hurry.

This time, Wang Jingru went into the space to take a shower and changed into light clothes. She ate a quick meal, left the space, and rode a horse to follow the men in black towards the imperial city.

Of course she followed from a distance. She didn't want those black people to discover her whereabouts. There were at least 20 people in the group in front of her.

Wang Jingru rode her horse towards the imperial city. If nothing unexpected happened, she would arrive today.

Passing a small town ahead, Wang Jingru just bought some food and continued on her way.

He saw the group of men in black entering a restaurant, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Jingru ran ahead of them.

Wang Jingru got on the horse's back, squeezed the horse's belly, and the big chestnut horse started to run quickly.

Wang Jingru was afraid that the men in black behind her would catch up with her, so she hurried along the way. Now that she was about to reach the imperial city, she was extremely happy.

There is no place like the Imperial City where there is danger. King Xiaoyao has a lot of people. It seems that she has to speed up to deal with King Xiaoyao.
