A Farm Girl: Three Acres of Fertile Land Can Be Exchanged for a Country

Chapter 91 Princess Silver Bell

Seeing that the other party was weak and posed no threat to him, and that his accent clearly carried the flavors of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang, completely different from the people of Dongqi, Wutong guessed that he was probably kidnapped by Meng Baobao and his group, just like himself.

A sense of shared suffering arose within him, and he slowly walked towards her, saying, "Don't be afraid..."

The woman ignored him and kept backing away.

Her eyesight must have been poor, and she was completely unaware that there was a chair behind her.

Wutong instinctively tried to stop her to prevent her from bumping into the chair, but to her surprise, the other woman suddenly became reckless and stood up defiantly. She pulled out the gold hairpin from her hair, pressed the sharp end against her fair and delicate neck, and said excitedly, "If you take another step! I'll kill myself right here!"

Wutong hurriedly said, "I'm not going over there, calm down..."

Regardless of this person's identity, since they are here and have had similar experiences to her, they are very likely to become her helper in escaping in the future.

How could her helper die! If she weren't worried that Wutong might hurt herself in her agitation, she would have rushed over and snatched the hairpin away.

The woman said with some skepticism, "Step back a little."

Without hesitation, Wutong stepped back and softened her voice, asking, "May I ask who you are, sister?"

The man cleared his throat, as if to bolster his courage, and said with his hands on his hips and chin raised, "I...I am the younger sister of the Emperor of the Great Western Dynasty, the future Queen Consort of the Southern Frontier, Princess Silver Bell."

Wutong had never heard of Princess Silver Bell before and didn't know if what the other person said was true or false, but judging from her appearance and attire, it seemed that only a princess of a certain dynasty could possess such a noble temperament.

Since she is the future queen of Southern Xinjiang, things will be much easier.

Wutong said happily, "Princess, don't be afraid. I am Wutong, a soldier from the Southern Frontier and a guard under General Abdo."

Upon hearing the words "Southern Frontier," Princess Yinling was overjoyed. She casually tossed aside her hairpin, took two steps forward, and eagerly asked, "Were you sent by Brother Fufeng to rescue me?"

The King of Southern Xinjiang's full name is Duan Fufeng. Wutong knew who she was talking about, but unfortunately, she couldn't give her any hope. She shook her head guiltily and whispered, "No..."

Princess Silver Bell cried out in disappointment, clutching her chest, and asked incredulously, "Then how did you get here?"

Wutong handed her a chair, helped her sit down, and briefly recounted what had happened to her—omitting the part about Meng Baobao trying to assault her, only saying that when Meng Baobao retreated, he brought her back with him.

Yinling, seeing that he was a soldier, naturally treated him as a man.

Hearing that the southern border had suffered a defeat and that even the general had been killed in battle, he became even more disheartened.

She leaned against the roughly made chair, her thin shoulders hunched, tears streaming down her face. "Waaah... Why hasn't Brother Fufeng come to save me yet... Doesn't he want me anymore...?"

Silver bells look very delicate, like a fragile flower grown in a greenhouse, without any aggression.

In addition, she is so beautiful that it breaks people's hearts when she cries.

Wutong is a thick-skinned person; she rarely sheds tears unless she is extremely heartbroken, and she has never been in a relationship.

But having grown up with girls, she understands their sadness very well.

Throughout history, it has always been women who are insecure and anxious in love.

She looked back and saw that besides the table, there was a bed and a wooden cabinet in the room.

Opening the closet, I found some clothes of ordinary fabric and a few handkerchiefs.

She took out a handkerchief, intending to wipe away Princess Silver Bell's tears. However, the princess remembered that she was a "man" and thought that she was going to take the opportunity to bully her. She then crossed her arms and started shouting.

She couldn't see anything, so she screamed hysterically, using her voice as her only weapon.

Wutong awkwardly stopped what she was doing and took the initiative to explain, "Princess, don't be afraid, I mean you no harm..."

Yinling said she was the future king of the Southern Frontier, so the king of the Southern Frontier would never let her be trapped here and would come back to rescue her sooner or later.

He was trapped with no way out, and the only hope was to build a good relationship with her.

Of course, if what the other party said was false and that she was not the future Princess of Southern Xinjiang, then she would have no choice but to accept it.

With such bad luck, it's better to be alive than dead.

Yinling was pampered from birth and was always surrounded by guards wherever she went, never suffering any harm.

Even though Wutong introduced himself, he was wary of the truthfulness of his words and the fact that he was a "man".

She snatched the handkerchief, turned her face away to wipe it, and said in a deliberately cold voice, "Don't come near me, stand over there!"

Wutong didn't protest and obediently stood on the other side, three or four meters away from her.

Neither of them spoke, and the room was quiet except for the flame burning in the oil lamp.

Exhausted and hungry, Wutong simply sat down on the ground and began to think of a way out.

Nanxing was there when she was kidnapped, and he was standing not far away with his back to her.

However, after she woke up, she did not hear or see any clues about Nanxing. All the way to Dongqi, she was the only prisoner.

Therefore, she guessed that Nanxing had not been kidnapped and should still be with Zhou Taili.

He realized he was missing, so he must have wanted to come looking for him, right? But he was still like that; even though he was skilled, his strength was very limited, and he was a nobody.

Zhou Taili does have the ability to rescue her, as he commands a large number of soldiers. However, as a general representing the Southern Frontier, he cannot rashly send troops.

She is now in the capital of Eastern Qi, and Zhou Taili is powerless to help her.

After much thought, I realized that I can only rely on myself.

But she had just arrived and didn't even know the name of the place she was in. She was completely in the dark. How could she escape?

Wutong turned her attention back to Princess Yinling, wanting to chat with her and learn about the situation here.

At the same time, she felt that she should hide her gender from her.

It's better to be safe than sorry. If the two of them manage to escape death and Yinling meets the King of Southern Xinjiang and reveals her gender... she might end up working for him!

"Ahem, Princess..." Wutong cleared her throat, trying her best to be gentle, afraid of startling the other person: "Are you hungry? Is there any food or water here? I'll go get you some?"

Yinling remained seated, clutching a handkerchief, her face stubbornly contorted, and said, "I'm not hungry! I don't want to eat anything!"

She wants to get out! She doesn't want to stay in this wretched place!

Wutong said, "Then can you tell me? I'm a little hungry..."

Yinling angrily rebuked, "You deserter! You've lost the battle and you still have the nerve to eat?"

Wutong was stunned, not expecting that she was seen this way in the other person's mind, and felt a headache coming on.
