The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 416 She's Not a Cheap Person

The space inside the cave was surprisingly large.

Not only was there gunpowder, but also some gold and silver jewelry.

Zheng Xun narrowed his eyes.

It seems that Ding Cheng trusts Xiong Yuliang a lot.

However, judging from Xiong Yuliang's tone, he was quite dissatisfied with Ding Cheng.

interesting.

Wow! So many great things!

Zheng Xun looked at Xiao Si with a probing gaze.

Seeing no greed in his eyes, Zheng Xun smiled with satisfaction: "Let's go."

"Hey? Aren't we taking the heavenly lightning with us? What if Ding Cheng uses it against our Great Yong?"

"You're quick to change your mind."

"Hehe, my heart is devoted to the Great Yong!"

Zheng Xun smiled and picked up a packet of gunpowder: "I will temporarily seal off the entrance here."

Xiao Si suddenly realized and obediently followed suit and changed direction.

Zheng Xun chose a slightly loosely structured spot in the cave to place the gunpowder.

She took out a tinderbox: "You go out first."

Xiao Si didn't move; a look of struggle appeared on his face.

Zheng Xun looked over in confusion, only to see Xiao Si grit her teeth and walk towards her: "I'll do it! Remember, my father's name is Wang Xiaohua, my mother's name is Tian Dazhuang, I have three older brothers, one deaf, one blind, and one dead, and one younger brother and sister, both of whom are deceased. My family lives in Chongyan Village, you must take good care of my family for me..."

Zheng Xun gradually realized what he was thinking: "Stop, what nonsense are you talking about? We won't die, don't worry."

Xiao Si didn't believe it: "You don't need to lie to me..."

Zheng Xun emphasized, "Take Xiong Yuliang and get out."

"I……"

"three two……"

Xiao Si was so frightened by the number that his scalp tingled, and he quickly dragged Xiong Yuliang away.

Not long after he left the cave, a loud rumble rang out, and the ground shook for a moment before quickly stopping.

Zheng Xun, who had appeared behind him unnoticed, clapped his hands and said calmly, "Let's go."

Xiao Si, still somewhat dazed, said, "Okay..."

Fortunately, Zheng Xun spared Xiong Yuliang's life.

The mountain wall above was covered with sharp thorns and poisonous plants; to return the way I came would mean risking my life.

The way out is through another cave, which is full of traps and mechanisms; it is a one-way street that leads out but there is no turning back.

A group of men were guarding outside the cave. When they saw Xiong Yuliang come out, the leader quickly approached and said, "Lord Xiong, are you going to get the Heavenly Thunder? The fighting outside is fierce. I just heard a loud bang. I don't know if they've attacked us."

Xiao Si's lips twitched.

They didn't attack us directly; they blew up a cave behind us.

Xiong Yuliang said in a low voice, "No need, nothing serious will happen. Just guard this place."

After walking a distance, Zheng Xun stroked his chin: "They didn't suspect anything?"

Xiao Si wasn't surprised: "Because Xiong Yuliang does things this way, as he pleases. I heard he took one of his concubines to the storeroom last time. They probably think he's looking for excitement again this time."

Zheng Xun: Thank you again for Xiong Yuliang's unreliability.

"He wasn't afraid that his concubine would leak his secrets."

Xiao Si lowered his head: "Of course, a dead person wouldn't reveal secrets. After coming out of the cave, the girl became a corpse."

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his own kind.

He looked up and glanced at Zheng Xun's back.

However, the people of Dayong are different.

They treated them as human beings, and their lives as their own.

Zheng Xun paid no attention to his thoughts and followed Xiong Yuliang back to his residence. Bai Liu had changed into a smart and inconspicuous outfit.

Zheng Xun deftly snapped Xiong Yuliang's neck and stuffed him into the wardrobe.

Then, she turned around and took Bai Liu's hand: "Come with me."

Bai Liu, stunned, took two steps forward following her force.

Only then did she finally realize that what she was seeing was not a hallucination.

The young hero has truly returned.

She was really going to leave this hellhole where there was no hope.

She felt lost for a moment because she didn't know where she could go if she left here, or how she could make a living.

Her life used to consist of moving from one courtyard to another.

Every day, she tries her best to please men, hoping to make herself more comfortable and live a little longer.

She didn't even know that Zheng Xun might come from Dayong, nor did she know what Dayong was like.

However, her confusion did not last long.

Because the young hero who saved her from dire straits was holding her hand.

She could even feel the warmth of the young hero's hand.

The young hero is very powerful; by following her, she will no longer be confused.

Halfway there, Xiao Si suddenly stopped.

Zheng Xun turned around in confusion.

"I haven't been exposed yet, and I can still do a lot of things. You go first."

"Have you thought it through? It'll be much safer if you come with me."

"My comrades haven't left yet, how can I desert my post?"

"No regrets?"

"no way!"

Zheng Xun stared at him for a while.

"Little Four".

"Ok?"

"You are a great hero."

Xiao Si smiled brightly and waved to them: "Goodbye! And thank you!"

Zheng Xun didn't try to persuade him any further, and turned to leave with Bai Liu.

Bai Liu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why didn't you stop Xiao Si?"

To avoid her words being misunderstood as a question, she deliberately added a playful touch to the end of her voice.

"Everyone has their own path."

Having survived so many years in the apocalypse, Zheng Xun had long understood one principle—respect other people's fates and choices.

When she stopped Xiao Si at this moment, who knows if she was also blocking his chance to make a contribution?

He is an adult, not a woman who has never had the opportunity to see the world, and he has his own ideas.

What she could do was not to impose her will on him, nor to stop his dangerous choice in order to avoid regret or guilt, but to silently wish him safety in her heart.

Bai Liu seemed to understand but not quite.

Zheng Xun chuckled: "It's alright, you won't understand now, but you will in the future."

As for people like Bai Liu who don't have much opportunity to see the world or receive a good education, she would lend her a hand and give her the ability and opportunity to make choices.

After bringing Bai Liu back to the Dayong camp, Zheng Xun released her and removed the veil from her face.

Bai Liu then realized that the young hero was actually so young.

He Wuyu rushed over after receiving the news.

"Your Highness! Thank God, you're back safe and sound."

Bai Liu blinked in confusion, then her face was filled with shock.

Your Highness...Your Highness...

Is it the prince she knows?

Even though she was ignorant, she had heard of the Crown Princess of Dayong.

She felt a little dizzy.

The legendary figure who had once amazed her with mere hearsay was now standing right in front of her.

She has reached the highest level that women can achieve today, and she is a figure who is rare to appear in a thousand years.

It was this very person who rescued her.

From a young age, her parents said she was of lowly birth, and her madam also said she was of lowly birth. Later, she married a powerful figure, and when she got into a fight with someone, she was still called of lowly birth.

Only at this moment did she realize that she was not of lowly birth!

His Highness said she was a good girl, and he held her hand and spoke to her gently.

If one's fate is truly lowly, how could one possibly receive the blessing of the bright moon in the sky?

The ideas and constraints that had shaped him in the past collapsed at this moment.

You see, sometimes you don't even need to do much. Just by climbing higher, you can break some people's preconceived notions and give them hope of escaping the mire.
