Chapter 97: The Thirteenth Princess's Martial Invitation

  After arranging for someone to take over the position of Wei Luo, she did not personally go to Princess Jing's residence to explain her promotion. She only assigned a peer to take over and then stayed at home.

  Wei Luo got close to Princess Jingyi of Yue for the sake of figuring out this body's appearance and origins. She didn't dare get too close to her.

  Because she had already opened her mouth, it was a word that was hard to say, and the princess and others only needed to ask about her origin, and she would not be able to answer - a traverser, wanting to fabricate family background to local people, is a very dangerous thing. Yesterday, Princess Yue and others arrived at the noble mansion for the first time, still in shock, and hadn't thought of getting close to this little one, asking about her origin, but today it's not necessarily so.

  Time flies quickly, and it's already nightfall. The horizon no longer sees the remaining sunlight, and the starlight in the sky is becoming increasingly visible.

  Wei Luo walked slowly in the courtyard, still pondering over what Prince Jingyang had said during the day, thinking about the possible moves he might make.

  Just as she was thinking, two maidservants walked quickly towards her. They stopped five steps away from Wei Luo and curtsied, saying in a soft voice: "Wei Luo, the 13th Princess is calling for you."

  Thirteen Princess?

  Wei Luo was taken aback and asked in surprise: "Thirteenth Princess, is she also in the estate?"

  Two maids nodded and said: "Outside, there is a carriage waiting, saying that the thirteenth princess has summoned."

  Thirteenth Princess!

  In an instant, Wei Luo's mind flashed back to the gloom in Princess Consort Ming An's eyes when they met these past few days. She nodded and walked quickly towards her room, saying as she went: "Let me change my clothes."

  She added a cloak, put the bamboo sword in her sleeve and went out of the door. She didn't know what the thirteenth princess wanted to find her for, but with the sword in her arms, she had a bottom line in her heart.

  Wei Luo had just walked out of the gate of her own courtyard when she saw a horse carriage parked at the entrance. Under the carriage, two swordsmen and two maidservants were waiting.

  The maidservants in the two princess's residences saw Wei Luo walk out and quietly told her, "The Princess is waiting for you inside the carriage."

  Wei Luo glanced at several people and walked towards the carriage.

  Before long, she arrived under the carriage.

  Wei Luo slowly lifted her hand and pushed aside the carriage curtains. Her movements were too slow, a maid couldn't help but impatiently shout: "What's taking so long!"

  Wei Luo smiled and was about to turn around to respond when a massive force suddenly surged from behind her. The force pushed her upwards, causing her to involuntarily rush up onto the horse carriage.

  Wei Luo's muscles tensed up, and his right hand entered his bosom and touched the bamboo sword.

  But as soon as she made this move, a yellow bronze sword pointed at her throat with a clear yellow light. At the same time, a woman's low shout came from the carriage, "Get on!"

  The sword tip pierced her throat muscle, at this time, Wei Luo felt a severe pain in her throat, and a wet liquid flowed down along the blade.

  As Wei Luo's pupils constricted, her back was pressed against a palm, and a cold, hoarse voice came from behind, "The princess doesn't want to kill you. If you'd rather die here, feel free to speak up!"

  The atmosphere is tense and murderous, with an intense killing intent.

  Wei Luo knew he was right, as the thirteenth princess, she really wanted to kill herself, taking these people straight into the courtyard and chopping herself up would be fine, no swordsmen in the mansion dared to stop her. She called herself out so secretly, definitely something was going on.

  After understanding, Wei Luo trembled with her voice and said softly: "Then... then I'll get on the carriage."

  Two swords were sheathed at the same time.

  Wei Luo climbed onto the horse carriage.

  There was a woman in the carriage, about thirty years old, with an extremely ordinary face, a flat yellow face, and no different from the ordinary mediocre women seen on the road. It's really hard to tell that she is an assassin.

  Wei Luo retreated to the corner of the carriage, crouching down. At this time, the curtain of the carriage shook and two maidservants jumped in one after another. As soon as they entered the carriage, they drew out their long swords.

  In an instant, three yellow swords were flashing before Wei Luo's eyes in the carriage.

  The horse carriage moves slowly.

  Before long, the carriage drove out of the mansion. Listening to the voices of pedestrians outside and looking at the swaying lanterns, Wei Luo pressed her hands against her arms and shrank into the corner again. She lowered her head, trying hard to curl herself up into a ball, looking like a timid little mouse.

  The three women glanced at her a few times and then stopped staring at her.

  Wei Luo leaned over and listened carefully, outside the carriage, those two swordsmen were also there, riding their horses, following at a steady pace.

  The horse carriage moved quickly, and before long, it arrived at the west corner of Xintian City. This corner was desolate, with large tracts of primitive forests outside, and occasionally a few thatched cottages would appear. However, beggars and corpses could be seen from time to time.

  Of course, the curtains were tightly closed and Wei Luo couldn't see where she had arrived.

  She turned pale and looked at the three women quietly for a while, finally trembling and stuttering to ask: "Thirteenth Princess, what do you want me for?"

  An eighteen- or nineteen-year-old maid looked at her.

  She looked at Weiruo with a cold hum and said: "You make the princess very curious."

  Curious?

  The maid continued: "You have made her disgusted and brought you here, wanting to ask about the matter."

  Wei Luo's pale face eased a bit, and she was no longer stuttering. She forced out a flattering smile and hastily said, "Your humble servant will speak without reserve!"

  "Hmmph!"

  The maid just threw her a sentence and didn't say anything more.

  The carriage gradually drove away from the official road and came to a clearing in a forest along a small path between the trees.

  As soon as the carriage stopped, the eighteen or nineteen-year-old maid Huang Tongjian pointed and shouted: "Get out!"

  "Yes, yes."

  Wei Luo hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and tumbled out, stumbling and crawling as she jumped down from the vehicle.

  She had just jumped off the horse carriage, and the three women also followed suit, then the two swordsmen did too.

  Five people slowly closed in on her.

  The eighteen or nineteen-year-old maid took two steps closer to her, stretched out the brass sword and gently patted Weiluo's face with it. After being frightened to the point of trembling, she smiled disdainfully and asked coldly: "Princess has two questions."

  Wei Luo took a small step back, his smile trembling as he hastily said: "Yes, yes..."

  The maid servant shouted in a low voice, "You can't retreat anymore!"

  Wei Luo was so startled that she trembled and hastily stopped in her tracks, not daring to move.

  The maid nodded in satisfaction and said: "The princess's first question is, who are you!"

  Wei Luo was taken aback.

  At this time, the maid coldly said: "The princess's second question is, are you a woman?"

  When the second question came out, Wei Luo's face turned white. She was shocked in her heart and really didn't expect that the princess who looked so careless would have suspected her gender three years ago with just a sniff and a touch? It's not uncommon for superior boys to be raised as daughters. During adolescence, as long as they don't trigger any sexual characteristics, it's still difficult to distinguish between males and females at first glance.

  At this moment, Wei Luo's mind was racing: The Thirteenth Princess asked these two questions because she was jealous of Jing Ling Gongzi and me being close. In fact, regardless of whether I am male or female, now that she has tricked me into coming out, she won't easily let me return to my original state unchanged.

  Now my greatest advantage is that I also have the skill to kill. However, they were sent by the princess and there are five of them. These two maidservants can be seen as not being authentic swordsmen at a glance. But that woman and those two husbands are indeed swordsmen. Can I, alone against three, manage to narrowly escape?

  Everyone mentioned the mistake of 4th princess and 7th princess, I think I've already changed it back, all unified to 4th princess.
