Chapter 183: Setting the stage by one's own example
The second princess's father's surname is Zhou. He is the empress's second husband and has the attribute of a tiger. The Zhou family has been a famous general for generations and has nearly one million soldiers under their command. The empress does not have as many soldiers as the Zhou family.
Therefore, even the Mo family, who were good at calculating, could not withstand the suppression of the Zhou family and were forced to marry into their marriage. This also explains why the second princess was always domineering and no one dared to say a word even when she abused Mo Fan.
This is all because the second princess has a powerful paternal family background. She has 300,000 soldiers under her command. Some of the troops have been sent to the border first, and there are still 100,000 beast soldiers who are her close guards.
Who would have thought that she would offend Jiang Changle and have 60,000 soldiers taken away at once? Currently, the Second Princess only has 40,000 soldiers around her. Naturally, she did not dare to act rashly, so after paying the ransom, she retreated to Jiuyi County in disgrace.
Jiuyi County is only a hundred miles away from Jiuer County, and it can be reached by riding a horse in half a day. The flying orcs will be even faster, and the Zhou family members who came from Kyoto to rescue also arrived soon.
"Your Highness, how did you become like this?" Her face was bruised and swollen beyond recognition, with wounds and bandages all over her body. She looked extremely weak. Where was the dignity of a princess and the arrogance she once had?
The person leading the Zhou family this time is Zhou Hu, the second princess's cousin. He is a tall and mighty male, two meters and five or six meters tall, with well-developed muscles in his limbs. He stands in front of everyone like a towering mountain.
"Cousin? You are finally here, woooo~~" The second princess cried. This was the first time she suffered a setback and cried since she became an adult. The grievances and bitterness in her finally broke out after she saw her backer, and she threw herself into Zhou Hu's arms.
Zhou Hu was a little flattered to be regarded as the backbone. It was the first time he saw the weak Second Princess, who needed him. He couldn't help but feel touched. "Don't be afraid, your cousin will take care of it for you."
Zhou Hu is already a veteran on the battlefield at the age of less than 30. The calmness and courage accrued from countless battles make him look very reliable, brave and experienced.
The former second princess also liked gentle and intelligent scholars like Gu Ci, so the mysterious and gentle Mo Fan also won her some favor.
But when she was in trouble, Mo Fan was of no use at all, and the wise men under her also failed to stop Jiang Changle's absolute attack.
The second princess realized that in the face of powerful strength, all conspiracies and tricks were like fragile porcelain. She had set up so many traps along the way and combined with Gu Ci's clever tactics, but she was still no match for Jiang Changle.
Now, only Zhou Hu's powerful martial arts can compete with Jiang Changle's strength, and this cousin has always been secretly in love with her and is still unmarried.
Coupled with the Zhou family's million-strong army, the second princess knew what she had to do, and gradually released her feminine energy, "I thought I was going to die, it's so good to see my cousin."
For the first time, she did not call herself "Princess" in front of Zhou Hu. Instead, she looked up at the strong male holding her with greedy eyes, and her trembling hands gently stroked the resolute face with a look of obsession.
The Second Princess has always looked down on Zhou Hu. No matter how outstanding he is, her eyes always follow those pretty boys. Now, has she seen the reality clearly? Has she recognized his true heart?
"Your Highness will not die. I will not let anything happen to Your Highness. Whoever dares to bully Your Highness, I, Zhou Hu, will repay him double." Zhou Hu's eyes were full of determination. The love in his heart had nowhere to hide, but he did not dare to offend the noble and pitiful woman in his arms.
The second princess shed another tear. She clung to Zhou Hu's neck, moved. "My cousin is the only one in this world who truly cares about me. Yingying was wrong before. Will my cousin still accept me?"
The second princess got closer and closer, their breaths intertwined, making Zhou Hu's heart beat wildly. "Aying, you don't have to be like this. Even if you're just my cousin, I will give you everything."
Putting aside his children's personal feelings, Zhou Hu also has family responsibilities to the second princess, and he can't bear to see the second princess sacrifice herself.
"I know, but Yingying wants to tell her cousin what she thinks. Those weak males are not half as good as her. Unfortunately, I discovered it too late. I'm afraid it's too late to love again. Cousin, can I give you the last bit of Yingying's possessions?"
Regardless of whether she could or not, the second princess had already kissed him, and she humbly used all the ways in which her beastly husbands had served her on Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu was not without experience either. He was thirty and unmarried, so he had naturally been marked before. However, he killed the female at the beginning, so that he was no longer bound by females and could survive to this day.
He was another noble male in Kyoto, and naturally there were many females serving him, but none of them could compare to the one he longed for in his heart. Even though the second princess had an ugly face at this time, she quickly made Zhou Hu fall in love with her.
As soon as the servants in the room discovered that the second princess was emitting a feminine aura, they had already retreated and disappeared. However, not long after, they could still hear the intense noise coming from the room. The sounds of pain and pleasure intertwined and spread far away.
"Mo Beast Husband, an anonymous letter was received at the door addressed to the Second Princess." But the Second Princess was 'busy' with General Zhou, and none of his men dared to disturb her, so they could only come to find the Princess Beast Husband in the other courtyard.
However, the room was filled with the strong smell of Chinese medicine, which showed that the people in the room were seriously injured, and the guards' eyes were full of sympathy.
"Ahem, let me take a look." Mo Fan forced himself to get up despite his aching body.
The second princess lost so badly to Jiang Changle that when she came back, both her beastly husband and her staff were severely beaten, and it took them a long time to recover.
Mo Fan opened the letter and was instantly surprised. Someone actually sent news about the Jiang family at this time? This must be targeting General Zhou, who had just arrived.
Mo Fan's eyes flickered slightly. His wife, the second princess, knew that Zhou Hu was interested in her, and she also knew what would happen if she provoked the Jiang family again according to the hexagram.
But she still resolutely gave Zhou Hu "more powerful information", which was to control him tightly, and then use all her strength to deal with Jiang Changle.
This hatred is overwhelming.
Oh, what did these things have to do with him? He was such a weak and helpless person.
"Come and help me, and take the letter to show to the staff." Mo Fan would not bear the pressure alone. He couldn't make the decision on anything anyway, right?
Several staff members, both male and female, were lying injured, until they saw the letter shared by Mo Fan, which made them tremble in fear.
"Still fighting?" The wound that still hurts now is a naked lesson. Are you scared?
"This is not something we servants can decide. Just report the news." Mo Shoufu was too cunning and dragged these old bones into the water.
"We don't necessarily lose, right? General Zhou himself is quite capable. He not only brought rations and troops, but also the Zhou family's loyal warriors.
The Fourth Princess is giving birth now, and her energy is limited. The Jiang family will also be distracted. If they really want to counterattack, now is the perfect time."
Did the Second Princess think of this early on, so she used herself as a bargaining chip to hand over to General Zhou, and also made Jiang Changle pay the price?
