Long Chen rode his horse slowly towards the east, remaining silent on the road.
Long Chen didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to say anything. They just walked slowly, and the atmosphere was very dull.
Zhang Qian accompanied Shi Jingxiang and slowly caught up with Long Chen.
Shi Jingxiang's condition was even worse. She felt abandoned, from a noble princess in the clouds to a captive that no one wanted.
Sitting down and the horse swaying, Shi Jingxiang sat numbly on the horse like a zombie, tears blurred his eyes, and snot fell from the tip of his nose, pulling out a thread...
"Sir, old bald donkey Kongji ruined our good deeds. What should we do in Yangcheng? Attack it by force?"
Zhang Qian caught up and asked helplessly.
Long Chen sighed and said: "There is no better way, we can only attack by force, although the losses will be huge."
Zhang Qian sighed slightly and said, "Kong Ji, the old bald donkey, ruined our good deeds."
Long Chen glanced at Shi Jingxiang, who was ashen-faced, and said: "Kong Ji just said it, Shi Le is the one who makes the decision."
"The most important thing is the imperial family. In Shi Le's eyes, the city is more important than the children."
"If Shi Le really wants to take a fancy to her, it's useless whatever Kong Ji says."
Everyone looked at Shi Jingxiang. Shi Jingxiang remained silent, tears still falling.
Seeing Shi Jingxiang's miserable look, Long Chen sighed slightly and said, "You are a royal princess. You should know that Shi Le is right to do this."
"He is an emperor who has land and people. As the king of a country, what he has to consider is the survival of Xixia. He cannot give up Yangcheng for your daughter."
"If it were me, I would probably do the same thing."
Shi Jingxiang raised her hand to wipe her tears and nose, and said with a sad smile: "You don't have to tell me this, I was just abandoned, I became something no one wants."
When Long Chen saw Shi Jingxiang like this, he didn't say anything more. He couldn't listen to what he said at this time.
"Jun Tao, go find out what the bald donkey Kong Ji is doing all of a sudden in Yangcheng?"
"What he just said was very strange. He said he wanted to settle his grudges with me."
"I beat you half to death last time. If you are so arrogant this time, there must be something wrong."
He Juntao immediately bowed and said, "I obey."
He Juntao immediately left the team and turned towards Yangcheng.
Long Chen slowly returned to Zhenguo Temple, while Shi Jingxiang rode to the top of the mountain and returned to the door of his detention room.
The dozen or so female soldiers guarding the gate immediately came over with shackles. Long Chen shook his head and said, "No, let her do it."
The female soldiers immediately dispersed and no longer guarded Shi Jingxiang.
Long Chen sighed and said, "Just stay here."
Shi Jingxiang looked at Long Chen and sneered: "I'm useless, why don't you kill me for revenge?"
Long Chen looked at Shi Jingxiang with a slightly complicated expression and said, "Kill you, and then what? What's the use? I'm not Shi Le, I don't kill prisoners."
After saying that, Long Chen turned around and returned to his room.
Shi Jing stood at the door for a long time, then pushed the door open and entered the room, closed the door behind his back, fell on the bed and cried loudly.
Long Chen returned to the room, and both Zhang Qian and He Juntao came in.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
He Juntao didn't go to Yangcheng at all, he just took a detour and came back.
Long Chen said: "Don't rush, take your time, you can go and get busy."
Zhang Qian and Zhang Qian left the room and were busy with their own business.
Long Chen was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the room.
Long Chen didn't pay much attention to the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Technique given by the Empress before when he practiced it. Now he realized that it was a royal secret method left by the Martial Saint. Long Chen planned to practice it again and carefully understand the mystery.
At the same time, merge the Long Family Mental Technique and the Hundred Birds Chao Feng Jue again.
Dong dong dong...
The knock on the door made Long Chen slowly wake up.
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open and Shi Jingxiang walked in.
It was already dark outside, and it was also dark inside the room. The torch illuminated the outside of the door, and I saw Shi Jingxiang wearing simple clothes, with a look of loneliness on her face.
"you?"
Long Chen was a little strange, what was Shi Jingxiang doing here?
He stood up and lit a candle, and the room lit up.
"Do you have a problem with me?"
Long Chen stretched his legs. He originally planned to find Shi Jingxiang in two days, but he didn't expect that Shi Jingxiang would come to his door so soon.
Shi Jingxiang stood woodenly at the door for a while, raised his foot, kicked the door, and closed it.
Long Chen was a little surprised by Shi Jingxiang's behavior. What did this gesture mean?
Shi Jingxiang slowly walked to the bed, sat on the edge, and turned to look at Long Chen.
Through the not-so-bright candlelight, it could be seen that Shi Jingxiang was crying miserably and her eyes were still red.
"Some things are just like that, and it's useless for you to be sad."
"You can leave if you want, and don't let me meet you on the battlefield."
Long Chen picked up the teapot, poured out a bowl of cold water and drank it.
Shi Jingxiang ignored Long Chen's words and said, "Don't you want to sleep with me? Come on, I'm right here!"
Long Chen was stunned for a moment and put down the water bowl in his hand.
"I said that to anger Shi Le. I am a lustful person, but I never force anything."
"Besides, I don't like you because you're not good-looking."
"If you want to leave, you can leave. If you want to stay, you can stay. The world is so big and there is more than just Xixia."
Shi Jingxiang stared at Long Chen, with a sad smile on his face: "So, Shi Le doesn't want me, and you don't like me either?"
Shi Jingxiang no longer calls her father, but calls Shi Le by his first name.
Long Chen said in an enlightening tone: "I know that you are the apple of my eye in the palace. That is because of your identity. No, to be precise, it is because of Shi Le's identity."
"Shi Le is the king of Xixia. He dotes on you. The people in the palace are afraid of Shi Le, so they treat you with respect."
"Now that Shi Le doesn't want you, you are no longer a princess. Your mentality needs to change."
"You are just an ordinary woman, don't think too highly of yourself."
This is true, but when it enters Shi Jingxiang's ears, it's like sharp knives, cutting along the ear canal and into the heart.
The most favored princess suddenly turned into an ordinary person that no one wanted.
And all this is because of Shi Le's betrayal!
"The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is actually quite good. You can go east to the capital and live a good life."
"Of course, it can't be like a princess."
Long Chen picked up a water bowl, poured a bowl of cold water, and sent it to Shi Jingxiang's end.
Shi Jingxiang looked at the bowl of white water. The candlelight fell on the water and slowly jumped.
Picking up the water bowl, Shi Jingxiang felt bored.
Bang!
The water bowl was placed heavily on the table. Shi Jingxiang walked to Long Chen's side and untied the hair accessory on her head with her backhand. Her long, straight black hair fell down.
Shi Jingxiang slowly unbuttoned her collar and untied the belt around her waist. Inside was a gold jacquard bellyband.
Shi Jingxiang's skin is not white because she often rides horses and hunts outside, but her skin quality is very good.
After unbuttoning and belting, the shirt fell to the ground.
Shi Jingxiang didn't stop and continued to untie the belt on her bellyband, which also fell to the ground.
Long Chen just looked at...
Shi Jingxiang didn't stop, she continued to unbutton her skirt until all the clothes fell on her ankles.
"Am I bad?"
Shi Jingxiang looked at Long Chen and asked.
Long Chen turned away from Shi Jingxiang and said coldly: "Go back and have a good night's rest. When you get up tomorrow, it will be a new day."
"Time can solve everything, including Shi Le's betrayal."
Shi Jingxiang grabbed Long Chen's shoulders, turned Long Chen's head, leaned against Long Chen, and asked: "Am I bad?"
In the morning, Long Chen offered to trade Shi Jingxiang for the city. Shi Jingxiang was filled with joy and confidently thought that Shi Le would definitely exchange.
She is the most noble princess of Xixia. A city is nothing.
But later, Shi Le betrayed him. He didn't trade the city, and he didn't even want to come over to meet him.
Shi Jingxiang's mentality collapsed.
She found that suddenly, she was nothing, she was no longer a noble princess, and Shi Le's pampering was fake.
Her last stubbornness was her body. She wanted to know if she was so bad that even Long Chen could be indifferent to her standing in front of her.
