Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

Half a day passed in a flash.

Seeing that they had already walked a hundred miles out of the capital, Xia Xue saw that the sun was scorching, and immediately ordered everyone to rest on the spot, cook, and wait until the weather was cooler before continuing on their journey.

There were many people in the convoy, so they were able to make a fire and cook very quickly.

Before long, a stove was set up in the temporary camp.

……

"Boss, when do we start?"

"The convoy will enter Hanyang in a few days. His Majesty has strictly ordered us not to allow the eldest princess to be enfeoffed alive!"

At the edge of the camp, several of Xia Xue's guard leaders gathered together.

One of them lowered his voice and asked Xu Ken, the captain of the convoy's escort team.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others also looked at Xu Ken, their eyes flashing.

"What's the rush? I know what's going on!"

Xu Ken glared at the man and lowered his voice, "We originally wanted to do this secretly, which would take some effort, but I didn't expect the princess to bring along the bandits from Crow Mountain. This actually saves us some effort."

"When we get to the border, find a deserted place and follow my orders."

"Then we can pin the blame on those Crow Mountain bandits, saying they suddenly turned against us and attacked and killed the princess. When we return to the capital, we'll have a good report to His Majesty."

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at Xu Ken with admiration.

"He's the boss after all, so he thinks more carefully than us!"

"If His Majesty sees how efficiently we brothers have handled this matter, he will surely reward us."

Xu Ken's face was filled with pride as he looked around at everyone. "His Majesty said that once this is done, he will transfer me to the Pacification Division as deputy commander. I'll certainly not treat you unfairly then!"

"Thank you, big brother! Big brother has been appreciated by His Majesty. From now on, he will surely rise to a high position."

"I've long said that our Boss Xu has the qualities of a great general."

Everyone immediately started to flatter him and praised Xu Ken to the sky.

"Brother, Xia Mingyuan is following behind with three hundred bandits. We only have two or three hundred people. Can we deal with these people?" Someone scratched his head and continued to ask.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with contempt.

"Huang Si'er, is your head filled with shit?"

Xu Ken glared at him and said sternly, "Those bandits are just a mob. We are the imperial army. If we really fight, we can wipe them out in a moment!"

"I heard that Xia Mingyuan seemed to have contradicted His Majesty a while ago. Killing him this time will definitely be another great achievement!"

While they were plotting, they didn't notice that a pair of eyes in the crowd had already been staring at them.

Xia Mingyuan looked at the generals gathered together with a frown.

Something is wrong!

Nine out of ten things are wrong!

Xia Xue's guards consisted of nearly three hundred people in total. In addition to the grooms and maids, there were probably more than two hundred armored guards.

Now, the leaders of these two hundred people are actually gathered together to eat from the same pot!

This is a scene that has never been seen in the military!

If it were just that, it would be fine, but these people were actually looking in Xia Xue's direction with ill intentions while eating.

Thinking of this, Xia Mingyuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

These people are not going to...

Xia Mingyuan recalled the previous incident in which he was assassinated by people from Jingzhao Prefecture, and subconsciously looked at his aunt Xia Xue.

Unexpectedly, Xia Xue had a gloomy face and was glaring at him fiercely!

Fire seemed to be spewing out of a pair of bright eyes.

The two looked at each other. Xia Xue noticed his gaze and immediately snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Xia Mingyuan touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

He had previously taken advantage of Xia Xue and forced her to act according to his wishes.

Now I must be hated by others.

"That's all!"

"Since I've taken advantage of you once, I won't let you suffer any loss."

Xia Mingyuan muttered to himself, stood up and walked towards Xia Xue.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is tired and doesn't want to see you."

Before he could get close, Xia Mingyuan was stopped by a maid.

"Get out of the way!"

"I have something important to remind my aunt!"

Xia Mingyuan glared at the maid, rushed forward and saluted Xia Xue.

"What's the matter with you?"

Xia Xue asked in a cold voice without raising her head or looking at Xia Mingyuan.

Ever since what happened in the morning, she felt very distant from her nephew Xia Mingyuan.

Cruel and ruthless!

Do whatever it takes!

Such a vicious character is exactly like that of the emperor's brother Xia Tianxiong.

Fortunately, she had felt that this guy had a miserable life and wanted to help him, but she didn't expect that this guy would bite her back.

If Xia Mingyuan had not promised her that he would hand over the antidote when they arrived in Hanyang, the two sides would have lived in peace from then on.

Xia Xue wished she could have the guards catch this guy right now!

"Aunt, there's something wrong with your guards. Those people might have bad intentions towards you."

Xia Mingyuan took a deep breath and said seriously.

After the words fell, Xia Xue showed a disdainful smile on her face.

"Xia Mingyuan, if you want to do something, just tell me directly. My life is in your hands anyway!"

"However, I also advise you not to go too far. If you really dare to attack others, don't blame me for being with you to the death."

"That rabble of people at Raven Mountain is no match for my Royal Guards!"

Xia Mingyuan was a little anxious, staring and said, "Aunt, do you still think that those guards are your people?"

"They gathered together to plot, most likely intending to attack you!"

"Haha, are you trying to sow discord again?" Xia Xue looked at Xia Mingyuan with contempt. "You really are worthy of being that guy's offspring. You were born with a lot of bad intentions!"

"These guards have been with me for over a decade and are so loyal to me. How could they possibly harm me?"

"If you're meeting me for this, you'd better go back quickly!"

After saying this, Xia Xue stood up and got on the carriage without looking back.

Xia Mingyuan stood there in a daze, looking at Xia Xue's departing back, and shook his head helplessly.

I had previously plotted against this aunt, but now she doesn't believe what I say.

But if he didn't care and acted without intention, the guards might really succeed.

What's more, if those people are going to take action, they will definitely not let Xia Mingyuan go!

Although two days had passed, he could still continue to increase his troops and directly crush this group of guards.

However, it seemed difficult to explain to Xia Xue how those soldiers appeared out of nowhere in public.

I can't kill my own aunt.

We must take precautions in advance!

Only these three hundred people are needed to capture these rebellious guards!

Xia Mingyuan was secretly anxious and looked around.

Suddenly, his gaze stopped on the grain transporting vehicle, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Ever since he led the team to be "recruited" by Xia Xue, Xia Mingyuan did not hide the thousands of kilograms of bacon he brought with him.

At this moment, many soldiers were looking at the carriage and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Xia Mingyuan immediately waved his hand and came to the front of the carriage, "Brothers, come to me to get the meat. Each sergeant comes to me to get a piece. Don't fight over it, everyone gets a share!"

As he spoke, Xia Mingyuan quietly and calmly put several packets of laxatives that he had found earlier in Crow Mountain into the flesh.

The guards didn't notice anything and happily took the meat back to cook.

"Eat, eat as much as you can."

"I'll make sure you all turn into Splatoons in no time!"

Xia Mingyuan smelled the aroma of meat and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

……

After lunch, wait for the weather to cool down.

The convoy continued to move forward, heading southwest.

In less than half an hour, we finally arrived at a secluded and deserted place.

Xu Ken rode in the front, exchanged glances with several leaders, and suddenly drew his sword.

"Brothers, let's do it together!"

"Kill the princess and return to the capital to claim the reward!"
