Xun Ying couldn't make up his mind and looked at Xun Fei.

In the afternoon, several guards told him that Yan Guo's attitude and reaction towards them were not right.

Xun Ying also felt that their concerns were not unreasonable. Putting aside the long-standing grudge between Xixiang and Yan State, as the saying goes, there is no gain without pain. If Yan State had no ulterior motives, it would definitely not treat them so well.

However, what if Yan State did this because it was afraid that Xi Xiang would seek revenge in the future?

Since Xixiang separated and established its own country, Yan State has never recovered Xixiang, and Xixiang’s repeated invasions have not been able to expand its territory.

Although several generations of emperors in the past were incompetent, the military generals of Yan State were powerful and did not allow Xi Xiang to take any advantage of the country.

Although the new emperor of Yanguo is young, it is said that he governs Yanguo better than the previous emperors.

Besides, the generals of Yan Guo are still very powerful. There is no need to be afraid of Yan Guo. This assumption is not valid. But why is that?

Even the older princes and Princess Xunying were even more confused about the purpose of Yan Guo's move.

Xun Fei held the youngest Lian'er in her arms, and changed into fresh new clothes. The Yan people sent several bowls of cooked goat's milk a day. Lian'er was the youngest and didn't know anything. She slept soundly after eating. Lian'er's new clothes were sent by the Yan people, along with a large diaper, all made of clean cotton.

"Since we have already eaten breakfast and lunch, why bother about dinner. Can skipping dinner make them change their original plan? If they want to be more ambitious, they should not have eaten in the morning." Xun Fei said after looking at the guards beside him.

If the Yan Kingdom has already decided what to do with them, they will not change their minds even if they go on a hunger strike.

"What the Eleventh Princess said makes sense. Let's all eat." Xun Ying also spoke.

Hearing his statement, the guard sighed, stepped forward and started putting food and rice into the bowls and plates.

The princes and princesses began to eat in silence. It didn't seem to matter what the Yan people planned to do to them anymore. They just decided to eat their fill first.

The guards finally served their own meals. The braised pork and fish were served to their masters. They ate some vegetarian dishes themselves and added some braised pork broth on their rice.

Yes, since no matter what we do, we can’t change the decision of the Yan people, let’s just eat first.

Even if I die, I won't starve to death.

"Royal brother and sister, their chef is so amazing. The braised pork is so delicious." Xun Qing whispered to his brothers and sisters around him.

"Xia, I'll give you another piece." Xun Ying did not scold his brother for being useless, but gave him the braised pork in his bowl.

After the meal, Xun Fei walked up to Xun Ying and whispered to him, "Nineth Brother, we don't know how our father and mother are doing now, and we don't know if they know that we have been captured. If they know, will our father still send someone to rescue us?"

Xun Ying looked at the guards who were clearing the dishes and shook his head. "We still have one guard who has not been captured. He must have sent a message back for help. But I don't want my father to send anyone to rescue us anymore. The military force in the capital is already insufficient.

I am not trying to boost others' morale and destroy my own prestige. The troops in Qucheng of Yan State have already been assembled and are ready to move.

Moreover, the Emperor of Yan State sent Xue Wenyu, who can be said to be an ever-victorious general. In this case, even if my father sends someone, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg, and not only will it not save us, but the person who comes will definitely not come back.

But, if we send more people, how many are too many? Can they rescue us all from this Qucheng city with abundant military forces?

What will happen after we rescue them? Will they take us back to Xixiang? But if we don’t go back to Xixiang, where else can we go? Where can we find shelter? We are like a group of lambs now. Wherever we go, we will face wolves. "Xun Ying explained to Xun Fei with a wry smile.

"What should we do? Can we just leave it to fate?" Although Xun Fei is a princess, after experiencing such a thing, she already knows that crying is useless.

Xun Ying looked around and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Let's wait for an opportunity. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must give it a try. Even if we can't guarantee that everyone will survive, a few are good." Hearing his brother say this, Xun Fei's eyes turned red and her nose felt sore.

She knew that what her brother said was right, so she nodded, "Okay."

It was completely dark. Although there were more than ten rooms in this courtyard, no one spread out too far away for the sake of comfort. Everyone tried to squeeze together as much as possible.

In this way, the princes and grandchildren of the emperor were squeezed into two rooms, Xun Ying in one and Xun Fei in the other.

The smaller one sleeps on the bed, while the older one spreads the bedding on the floor and sleeps next to each other. Sleeping this way can make them feel more secure.

In the middle of the night, if someone wakes up crying from a nightmare, the person next to him will not blame him for disturbing him, but will coax him to sleep again.

The next morning, the guards drew water from the well in the courtyard and gave the young masters a simple way to clean the leaks.

The gate opened and someone started bringing in breakfast.

Hot wontons, hard boiled eggs, and meatloaf.

This time, the guards did not ask the Ninth Prince Xun Ying's opinion, but started to share the food with everyone.

I had just finished eating and was storing the iodine when the gate opened again and a few people came in.

As soon as they appeared, the children in the yard ran to Xun Ying's house in panic.

When the guards saw the approaching momentum, they were startled. What was coming was coming and there was no way to avoid it.

The guards had no weapons, so they could only stand in a row, blocking the few people coming in, ready to fight to the death.

Xun Ying and Xun Fei also came out. Although the younger ones were very scared, no one hid in the house. They all followed their brother and sister, looking at them in horror, biting their lips and not daring to cry out loud.

"What do you want to do? I know why your master is so kind, yesterday's food was delicious." What do you want to do? I know why your master is so kind, yesterday's food was delicious

It tastes good, but in fact, he has no good intentions at all, he is just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. "One of the guards cursed angrily.

"You are smart and capable." The people who came in were led by Lin Chuan, who kicked the person who was cursing to the ground.

Then, he no longer paid attention to this, but looked at Xun Ying; "No matter what you think, our master doesn't need to discuss with you how to deal with you. Today, I am following the order of my master to select a few people and send them to other places, so that you don't have to live together and think about things and be restless.

Tell me, who wants to go? Come forward.

"We are all defenseless children. Even if we are restless and want to think about something, how restless can we be? Is Duke Dingguo afraid that he can't keep an eye on us children?" Xun Ying was also shocked, but he still tried his best to resist...
