Chapter 19 The War Goddess Princess Rejects Romantic Thinking (6)
The two princes looked at Su Dingding in disbelief; this was their first meeting!
"Princess Ying Ruo, what do you mean by this?"
"Princess Ying Ruo, are you trying to provoke a war between the two countries?"
Su Dingding chuckled, "The two princes are right. Guards, bring them into the palace and hang them on the big tree in my palace courtyard!"
The men brought by the two princes drew their swords, but since they were on Su Dingding's territory, they were quickly killed.
Upon arriving at Su Dingding's palace, at his command, the two princes were indeed hung up.
They were cursing and swearing, which annoyed Su Dingding, so he ordered someone to whip them.
We'll see if they're more stubborn than they are, or if the whip is more effective.
Finally, both of them quieted down and dared not say another word.
Covered in whip marks and dripping with blood, she dared not speak out in anger. She never expected that this princess of Hongguo was mentally ill!
Su Dingding glanced at them, then at the two guards beside her, then back at them. Her scrutinizing gaze made the two guards beside her feel guilty.
Even the most handsome prince in the Wilderness Kingdom is nothing compared to her bodyguard.
Su Dingding called over two guards and whispered something to them.
The two men, their expressions solemn, immediately knelt down, clasped their hands in a gesture of respect, and declared with righteous indignation, "This humble general will certainly not fail in the princess's mission!"
"Get up, remember what I said, I'll come and take you home." Su Dingding helped the two up, a smile on his lips.
Half a month later, the Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince set off back to the Wilderness Kingdom.
They did not win Princess Yingruo's love, but each of them brought five large chests of gold and silver jewelry.
They were escorted by the most elite Winners' Army squad disguised as their followers!
Upon returning to the Wilderness Kingdom, the two gave a detailed account of their experiences over the past month in the main hall.
"Father, Princess Ying Ruo may not like us, but she still gave us quite a few rewards!"
“Father, in my opinion, if all of us brothers go on blind dates, even if the Hong Kingdom’s treasury is empty, it will surely save face and send gold and silver as a sign of respect.”
"What do you mean?" The ruler of the Wilderness Kingdom was somewhat tempted.
"Anyway, blind dates cost nothing. If you like her, you can marry Princess Ying Ruo; if you don't, you can just bring back the gold and silver!"
The king of the Wilderness Kingdom thought it made sense, and after discussion, decided to send a few more princes to meet potential suitors.
Not long after, Su Dingding welcomed three more princes from the Wilderness Kingdom.
They were all young and promising, and when they arrived, they were hung up in trees.
Looking at their two brothers in the same tree, they realized they had been tricked.
But there's no way to escape it.
Soon after, the stand-ins for the three princes returned to the Wilderness Kingdom.
They also brought a lot of gold and silver treasures, with the Winners' army disguised as their followers accompanying them.
The king was overjoyed and very satisfied to see his three sons returning with a full load of spoils.
This time, they also brought back news that Princess Yingruo allowed princes older than her who were already married to come for matchmaking, accepting all comers and only considering whether they felt a connection.
The wealth acquired by the previous brothers had been kept for themselves, and the other brothers had long been envious. Upon hearing of the opportunity, they all volunteered.
Seven princes under the age of thirty-five went together.
They acted as if they were going to buy goods, arrogant and conceited, believing that Princess Ying Ruo looked down on them and that they looked down on Princess Ying Ruo, wanting only gold and silver treasures.
Unfortunately, just as they strode into the palace with an air of indifference, they realized that a large tree awaited them.
Hanging from the tree were their younger brothers, each covered in wounds, their eyes glazed over, their lives a living hell.
"Guards, send the princes up the tree!" Su Dingding sat at the entrance of the palace, thoroughly enjoying the scene before him.
"Princess Ying Ruo, how dare you!"
"If my father finds out you dared to switch the beams and pillars, he will surely not forgive you!"
Su Dingding laughed loudly, "Your father is a fool. How could he not forgive me? Send troops? He can't win anyway. His brain is like it's been through the wringer."
Su Dingding has always felt that everyone in this world has a low IQ.
What appears to be intrigue and backstabbing is actually just a game.
Gangzi also explained to her that this world is derived from a novel, and the author of this novel is a second-grade elementary school student, so it is a bit childish.
However, this does align with Su Dingding's way of thinking, allowing him to do whatever he wants... recklessly.
You're the shit!
The princes argued and made a fuss, but they were still hung up the tree.
At Su Dingding's command, they quickly shut their mouths under the whip.
My mouth felt good, but my body really couldn't take it!
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Su Dingding didn't care about their pleas for mercy; some people weren't worth pitying.
When Hongguo fell, they showed no mercy to anyone; everyone's hands were stained with blood.
After the seven princes returned to the Wilderness Kingdom, they praised the Hong Kingdom highly, saying that Princess Ying Ruo's plan to build a mausoleum and statue for the Hong Kingdom's emperor was not only a symbol of her noble status and position, but also a demonstration of the great power's prosperity and strength.
Upon hearing this, the ruler of the Wilderness Kingdom was also tempted. With the encouragement and suggestions of many princes, he decided to build a mausoleum and statue as well, and to make it even more magnificent than that of the Emperor of the Hong Kingdom.
The fact that the ruler of the Wilderness Kingdom did not consider the waste of manpower and resources shows that he was not a wise ruler.
Upon receiving news that the people of the Wilderness Kingdom were filled with resentment over the construction of a mausoleum and statues by the king, Su Dingding decided to set off for the Wilderness Kingdom.
She told the Emperor about her plans, and both the Emperor and Empress were very reluctant to part with her.
"Ying Ruo, why take such a risk? That desolate kingdom can't cause any trouble. Your Majesty thinks we should consider this carefully." The Empress was worried about her safety.
"Ying Ruo, your father knows you have ambitions, but this journey is fraught with danger. Hong Kingdom cannot do without you!" The emperor held her hand tightly.
The second prince stepped forward again, saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained!"
His righteous indignation earned him a kick from the crown prince, which landed squarely on his buttocks.
"You make it sound so easy, why don't you go?" The Crown Prince glared at the Second Prince.
The second prince felt wronged. He was just speaking up for his sister. As her brother, he should unconditionally support whatever his sister wanted to do!
Su Dingding coughed lightly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This trip will be able to bring peace to the two countries for a long time."
"Go, Your Highness!" The Second Prince shouted, clenching his fist and raising his arm, his momentum unstoppable.
The Crown Prince gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He sighed and looked at Su Dingding, "Royal sister, be careful. Take care of your health and life. The mission may fail, but you must return safely."
"Pah, pah, pah, I don't like it when you say that, Your Highness. Your sister never fails, you make it sound like a life-or-death situation..." the Second Prince said indignantly.
"Do you know what my sister is going to do?" the Crown Prince questioned.
"...I don't know, but I support my sister!" The second prince raised his neck, stared wide-eyed, and spoke with righteous indignation.
Su Dingding didn't want to talk to him. After saying goodbye to her father and mother, she turned around and strode away.
[Host, Li Hefeng has been tortured by that rich woman until he is covered in wounds and emaciated. Wouldn't it be too easy for him to die like this?] Gangzi reminded him.
"Pick him up and go to the Wilderness Kingdom together."
Su Dingding sneered, "The game is finally about to officially begin!"
