Chapter 434: West Phoenix

His eyes narrowed slightly, especially when he saw the tattoo on this person's arm — Lao San's man!

This person had been by his side for many years.

Yun Miao Er, that man, Lao San's man...

It was like a line, connecting everything.

Xige doubted, thinking about all this; if it originally started because of a woman's unwillingness, now it is because of anger.

"Great Prince." The people below looked at the Great Prince's dark face, not knowing how to speak.

"Whether or not it was done by Lao San, this debt can only be charged to his head." The evidence is already here; whether or not it was Lao San, it can only be Lao San.

How coincidental is that? He doesn't believe it; he would rather believe that man is a person from Da Ning.

But forced by circumstances, he had no choice but to follow the route set by that person, whether it was Lao San or Da Ning, he couldn't let go of either side!!

The Third Prince knew nothing at this moment, holding a beauty in his arms, enjoying a beautiful night; the Great Prince's affairs in Xi Xiang Cheng made the King furious, and moreover he secretly left Xi Xiang Cheng—tomorrow there will be a good show to watch.

Riding a horse, she walked for a full day and night before Jiang Yunchu stopped in a small town—not because she wanted to stop, but because she had lost consciousness.

That strike from Xige, although she went with the flow and discharged half the force, unfortunately her foundation was weak.

At that time, receiving that strike was also forced upon her.

"You're awake?" Jiang Yunchu opened her eyes, looking at everything around her, and involuntarily furrowed her brows.

Not mentioning pavilions and towers, carved beams and painted pillars, but there are also small bridges over flowing water, light gauze and lovely scenery, the little pavilions filled with poetic charm.

What place?

"Who are you?"

Jiang Yunchu's hand had already taken an attacking stance, and she was always ready to draw the dagger from her space; if her space were exposed, she had already prepared herself for a fight to the death.

"You don't recognize me?"

At that moment, the woman who had been facing away turned around, her beautiful eyes lifting to look at her.

It was her!

"You're not in Xi Xiang Cheng? Where am I?"

Xi Xiang Cheng is six hundred li from where she fainted; how could she end up here?

Moreover, who exactly is she?

When she saw the wanted poster of herself, she knew this young lady hadn't disclosed her appearance; otherwise, whether dressed as a man or woman, she would have long been caught, leaving no chance to confuse the senses.

But she is clearly a Xijiang person—why would she help me?

Earlier, events were urgent, one thing leading to another; she didn't have time to think and had already fainted by the roadside, yet the person who saved her was none other than her.

Then, what is her purpose?

"You are in Phoenix Perch City."

"You needn't worry; I bear you no ill will, and if you think you can leave, you may go at any time—my people will not stop you."

That young lady set down what she held, sat in a chair to the side, and gazed frankly at Jiang Yunchu.

For the first time, meeting someone who could bring out the flavor of all her clothes.

With such a natural clothes horse, how could she bear to be seized? And how could she bear to just vanish from the world?

"Who are you?"

Jiang Yunchu couldn't understand what reason could give her such confidence.

She fears not Xige, and even seems unafraid of anyone from Xijiang.

When it was Yun Miao Er, her clothing was so obvious that Ziniang would surely have reported to Xige, yet she is safe and sound here.

That shows Xige also cannot act against this person.

In Xijiang, all cities begin with "West"—they are the fief cities of several princes, all beginning with "West."

Phoenix Perch City.

Then this person...

"West Phoenix Princess?" Jiang Yunchu suddenly lifted her head, her gaze instantly tightening—it was her!

West Phoenix laughed lightly, a bell-like laugh, as if infected, the lotus flowers outside slowly closed.

"A clever girl."

West Phoenix nodded, with no intention to deny, nor any concealment or excuse.

"I am West Phoenix, the princess of Xijiang, the king of Xijiang is my elder brother; Xige calls me aunt."

"I will not harm you."

West Phoenix sighed, then lifted her head; her position in Xijiang is awkward, yet no one dares to move against her.

It is because of the late king's decree.

And because her mother is a person from Da Ning.

She stays away from the capital, not wanting to involve herself in those tumults, nor let her identity become a target of their criticism.

Her father has passed, her mother also left; Phoenix Perch City was granted to her by her father, no one may interfere, and she holds independent control and authority.

"My mother is an embroideress; she loves embroidery and making clothes."

She sits here, but her voice seems isolated, somewhat distant.

"She is a person from Da Ning, captured by my father and brought to Xijiang."

West Phoenix looked at Jiang Yunchu's incredulous eyes, gave a light laugh, "Quite unbelievable, right?"

"My mother said, she was an orphan girl, it didn't matter where she was or how she lived; she only wished for me to grow up safe and sound."

"Because of my mother's identity, my own identity has been condemned since childhood."

"My mother had no martial arts, merely an ordinary woman, but she protected my growth with all her tenderness."

In West Phoenix's eyes lay a hint of sorrow, along with a faint longing.

Jiang Yunchu looked at her; are these things she can hear?

No matter where her mother is from, she is from Xijiang; she was born here, raised here.

"She is great; she has been poisoned, almost drowned, assassinated, many times, her body is already ruined, yet she still used herself to exchange my lifetime of peace."

Xifeng raised her head, seeing Jiang Yunchu's gaze, "Are you curious why I say these things?"

Jiang Yunchu nodded; although she had already sat up earlier, the intense pain in her body made her unconsciously frown.

"Because, in this Xijiang, I have no one to speak to."

Xifeng gave a bitter smile, "Her identity, my position—I have no one who can say it, and no one who would understand or want to listen."

"I don't hope that many people know her, remember her."

Having said this, she fell silent.

"You just miss her." Jiang Yunchu gently answered for her, responding to what came next.

Xifeng fell silent for a moment, closed her eyes, lifted her head to look at Jiang Yunchu, "You are too clever, that is not a good thing."

Thinking of this girl, all her deeds made Xige overwhelmed, made the Royal City's situation shift dramatically, and threw those people into chaos.

And everything, is only because of her alone.

"But you didn't kill me." Jiang Yunchu shrugged.
