Sister, you traveled through time too?

Xia Jie's swordsmanship was so brutal that every blow from his sword had the deadly force to chop a person into pieces.

The river was simply unable to withstand the attack and was defeated step by step.

If it weren't for the injury on his leg, he should have been able to fight Xia Jie and wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

It can be said that I fell into the hands of this woman Tang Xiaoyu.

The officers and soldiers and the imperial guards surrounded him. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yitiaohe had to resort to means to escape.

In a flash, he seemed to throw something on the ground, and suddenly white smoke filled Tang Xiaoyu's eyes.

There was white smoke billowing in front of Xia Jie's eyes, and he could not see clearly at all. By the time he closed his eyes and listened for the person, he could no longer detect the scent of a river.

"He actually let him get away!" Xia Jie gritted his teeth, holding the knife tightly in his hand, feeling very upset.

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness. I'm here." Chun Ke held Xiaoyu by the breath in the chaos and whispered to comfort her.

Tang Xiaoyu finally felt relieved.

She was afraid that the river would bear a grudge against her and kidnap her when the thick smoke rose.

"Protect His Highness!" Xia Jie already knew that he could escape via a river, so he quickly stabilized the morale of his troops and came to Xiaoyu's side.

The officers, soldiers and imperial guards surrounded Xiaoyu.

Full of security.

When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of a river.

Tang Xiaoyu's vision became clear again, and he sighed as he thought about the terrible experience tonight.

Her hair was in a loose bun, with pieces of black hair hanging in front of her forehead. She looked so pitiful, with a look of fright and uneasiness in her eyes, and she was extremely gentle in her glance.

Xia Jie wanted to speak, but when he looked at Tang Xiaoyu's appearance, he was stunned.

There was an eerie silence.

"Meow?" Heizi looked at everyone with different expressions, tilted his head and meowed in confusion.

Trying to attract the attention of his blind father with his soft and cute voice.

Seeing that his blind father still didn't pay attention to him, Heizi couldn't help but curse.

“Meow meow meow meow meow meow!” (Wow, I’m a victim too, stupid dad!)

Tang Xiaoyu noticed Xia Jie's gaze, her heart moved, and she fell softly into his arms.

He looked frail and extremely frightened.

"Your Highness! Are you okay?" Xia Jie quickly caught the fish.

Tang Xiaoyu frowned and threw himself into Xia Jie's arms.

Her snow-white little face looked extremely uncomfortable, she bit her lips with tears in her eyes.

"General Xia, I have something to do, and it's a big matter." Tang Xiaoyu said softly, mumbling tenderly.

Looking at her cat-like expression, Xia Jie was stunned for a moment, staring at her deeply.

He could see the deliberate seduction in her words and eyes, and could also hear her playful grumble.

But the look of someone who couldn't hold back his fart really makes him look like a cat.

Inexplicably... cute.

"Oh? Princess, are you hurt anywhere?" Xia Jie took her away from his arms, asked curiously, with some indulgence in his eyes.

"General, listen." Tang Xiaoyu made a gesture of silence with an aggrieved look, signaling Xia Jie to listen carefully.

Xia Jie was confused and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you listening to?"

"General, did you hear the sound of my heart breaking?"

Tang Xiaoyu smiled with her lips pursed, her eyes full of ambiguous meaning, like a little fox with a lot of bad intentions.

Xia Jie raised the corners of his lips imperceptibly, then said seriously, "Could that little bandit really hurt your little heart, Princess?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, and he looked very interested. He wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the sugar-coated fish gourd.

"How could a mere bandit hurt me? It's you, General, who hurt me too deeply." Tang Xiaoyu covered her face and sobbed pretentiously, saying with a smile.

Her pretentious look is not annoying, but rather cute.

"What do you mean, Princess?" Xia Jie asked with two hearty laughs.

"General, please take a look at my carriage. The emperor made it for me on my birthday two years ago."

"The colored glaze, pearls, gold threads, gems, and materials used to build the chariot are all priceless. You have damaged them with just two cuts."

"My heart feels like it's bleeding."

"I don't care, General, you have to compensate me."

Tang Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to let you go without paying.

Xia Jie knew that he would have to make amends for damaging the carriage, but he did not expect the princess to behave like a scoundrel child.

The damage to this carriage would probably not be able to be replaced even if the general's treasury was emptied.

He scratched his head, smiled and said, "Princess, I really want to compensate you, but I don't have enough money..."

He said with a little embarrassment and helplessness.

I thought the princess would make things difficult for me, but unexpectedly she just smiled nonchalantly.

"Alas, this is wrong. How could I care so much about material things? I want something more than money."

Tang Xiaoyu said with a wicked smile.

Xia Jie was relieved. Who doesn't know the carriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess? The emperor spent six thousand taels of silver to build it last year.

Six thousand taels of silver! Even if Xia Jie pawned his underwear, he still couldn't raise the six thousand taels.

"Your Highness, please speak. Anything that I can do, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will get it for you as long as Your Highness wants it." Xia Jie said with a bow.

"Well, it's not necessary to go through fire and water. I just want the general to make a promise. Just think of it as the general owes me a favor. The Japanese palace has something to ask of the general. It's good enough if the general is willing to help me."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled very kindly, but also sincerely.

However, Xia Jie did not think that his promise could be worth the six thousand taels.

He was a little hesitant and wavering.

"As long as it is what the princess says, I will obey it. But how can a humble minister's promise be worth a thousand gold?" Xia Jie replied hesitantly.

A promise is just a matter of a word if you put it in a small way, but if you put it in a big way, it can be very big.

I owe you this favor today, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to repay you with both the principal and interest someday.

What if we use this as a threat to force someone to do something that goes against one's conscience?

Xia Jie pondered in his heart and did not dare to agree to this promise easily.

Tang Xiaoyu is a smart man, so he naturally understands Xia Jie's thoughts and concerns.

Her smile was warm and bright, and her eyes were as soft as the water in spring.

Xia Jie didn't dare to look at it, for fear that if he did, he would easily give in.

"How can a general or a minister obey me? If I ask for something in the future, it will be something that you can easily do. It will not go against the order of heaven and earth, and I will not deliberately make things difficult for the general."

"Besides, how can a general's promise not be worth a thousand gold?"

"A mere six thousand taels, if I can make the general owe me a small favor, it would be a good deal for me."

Tang Xiaoyu spoke sincerely, she really wanted Xia Jie to owe her a favor.

As for what Xia Jie should pay back, that was not her decision.

Xia Jie saw that Tang Xiaoyu didn't seem to be joking with him. He felt slightly touched when he heard his words.

The eldest princess is not as pedantic as the rumors say.

These high-ranking officials' daughters, princesses and noble ladies had never treated a mere military man like him with such courtesy.

In this imperial city, there are many rumors that Xia Jie is the King of Hell.

His Highness's words and actions are not only unafraid, but even... show some favor?

He looked at Tang Xiaoyu with a gentle look in his eyes.

"I am grateful for your kindness, Princess. If you need anything from Xia Jie in the future, I will repay you. I hope you will forgive me for destroying the car today."

Xia Jie bowed and said solemnly.

Xiaoyu smiled and waived his gift. She liked his straightforwardness.

"Thank you very much for saving me today, General. I am just afraid that the thieves will come to retaliate again. I hope that General will come to my house more often in the next few days, just as a deterrent."

Tang Xiaoyu said seriously.

Xiaoyu: Hehe, just treat it as a date. ???

"I am grateful to Your Highness for finding my beloved son. I will personally escort Your Highness back home and send some people to stay at your house."

"Tomorrow, I will come to visit you after I finish my official duties."

Xia Jie picked up Heizi, who was screaming with anger on the ground, and replied with a smile.

Tang Xiaoyu scratched Heizi's furry chin and nodded.

"Take your son with you, he's adorable."

The two of them looked at Heizi together. This time Heizi was no longer angry and raised his head proudly.

Heizi: See, I know I'm handsome. ˊ ? ˋ

Tang Xiaoyu sat in the general's mansion's carriage and was sent back to the mansion safely by Xia Jie.

She looked reluctant, but still saw Xia Jie off in a proper manner.

"See you tomorrow, General."

She raised her eyes, gracefully, with eager and fiery charm in her eyes.

But it didn't seem vulgar at all, but was extremely cute in the eyes of King Jie of Xia.

He just felt that His Highness was a person of true character, like a fox and a kitten.

Stare directly at whatever you like, express your affection fearlessly, attract, be reluctant but willing, and seduce without any disguise.

Those eyes made the person feel hot and frightened.

After returning home, Xia Jie drank two pots of wine and still felt the residual warmth.

Her vague seduction appeared in my mind.

In my ears, the words "see you tomorrow" echoed again and again.
