Thinking about it, she pulled the Rat with a confused face and asked.
"Whereās big brother? Why didnāt he come?!"
The Rat shook and swayed while drinking.
"I donāt know either!"
"Big brother...big brother might be on duty!"
Hai Tangās brain was a bit slow, thought about it, and nodded.
"Thatās true!"
"Big brother might be on duty, yes!"
She burped, looking at the three of them.
She emphasized to the Rat and the Monster.
"You two... hurry up and find a job!"
"You canāt always... hiccup!"
"Always let big brother take care of you!"
The Monster heard this and started to cry.
Couldnāt find a handkerchief, directly wiped his face with the tablecloth.
"Brother Ye, you really touched my heart!"
"I want to find something to do."
"But you see, I look so stunningly beautiful, every time I go out someone harasses me!"
"And itās always those stinky men..."
"Making me afraid to go out! Wuwuwu..."
The Rat stared at him for a while, and started to cry too.
"Brother Ye, I...I donāt want to be idle either!"
"But I donāt know why, they always say Iām full of bad ideas!"
"Why?! Arenāt my ideas good?!"
"I... I havenāt done anything atrocious either!"
He doesnāt want to help bad people.
Good people donāt like his cunning tricks.
Thus, Ratās life is really, full of twists and turns.
Hai Tang looked left and right, thought for a long time and suddenly laughed:
"True!"
"You two both!"
"Oneās suitable to be an undercover agent, seducing the enemy!"
"Oneās fit to be a strategist! Winning by surprise!"
"Itās a pity itās a time of peace now, and thereās no war to fight!"
"So youāre still idle!"
Hai Tang finished and laughed again.
She looked over there, Tiger was pouring wine, staring unblinkingly at a little beauty.
She punched him hard.
"Like her?!"
Tiger laughed sheepishly.
"I do!"
"If you like her, find a way to marry one!"
Tiger scratched his head with distress.
"I want to! But she doesnāt like me!"
Hai Tang frowned.
"Not enough silver?!"
"No!"
"Is it... not enough family background?!"
"Nope!"
"Then what?!" Hai Tang was very curious.
Tiger froze for a long time.
His black face was awkwardly red.
Even though he was drunk, he still had a sense of shame, how could he say it out loud?!
Hai Tang thought for a while, and suddenly grinned mischievously.
"Oh~"
"I get it, Tiger brother is quite a man!"
After finishing, she patted her chest and said.
"Donāt worry!"
"Itās just women, Iāve got it covered!"
"When I go to Western Xia, Iāll find some exotic beauties for you!"
"Ensure theyāll satisfy you, how about that?!"
Tigerās eyes lit up instantly.
"Really? They must be pretty enough, preferably..."
"Preferably what?!"
The other two became interested too, crowded over and asked.
"Preferably gentle and considerate, of course, their bed skills should also be..."
Before he finished, the other three burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"Come on, having beauties with you is already good, donāt be picky!"
"Brother Ye, Iām not picky, remember to send me two too!" The Rat looked excited.
Hai Tang punched each of them.
"Alright alright, stop the nonsense!"
"Itās just a few women? Get ambitious! Donāt embarrass big brother!"
"Exactly!"
"Look at how embarrassing you are..." Monster responded.
The other two were unconvinced.
They squabbled noisily.
Night was getting deeper.
The four argued until they were tired, got drunk, and directly rolled onto the ground to sleep.
The next day, morning light shone through the window, the table was a mess of cups and plates.
The three were there, but Hai Tang was missing!
They looked at each other, their faces gradually serious.
"Oh no, Brother Ye might have left!"
"Hurry, go to the city gate, maybe we can catch up!"
"Right right!"
The three didnāt bother to tidy up, ran out barefoot.
...
At the city gate.
The Western Xia Mission was ready to set off.
Hai Tang had already changed into womenās attire; Western Xia women were known for their valor.
Therefore.
Hai Tang, in purple warrior princess outfit, stood out in the crowd, full of vigor.
Emperor of Great Chu led ministers and royal family members.
Bidding farewell at the city gate.
King Western Xia, Prince Jin, Crown Prince Hai Yue, and Princess Haitang.
All dismounted to say goodbye.
The monarchs of both nations chatted happily together.
After a session of mutual praise.
King Western Xia expressed gratitude.
"Thanks to the Emperor of Great Chu for the hospitality these days! If thereās a chance, the Emperor of Great Chu must visit my humble abode, so we can have the chance to reciprocate!"
Zhao Junyao responded with a courteous smile.
"Certainly, certainly!"
King Western Xia nodded, looked over at Fifth Master and Hai Feng.
Instructed.
"Fengfeng! Youāre married now!"
"From now on, youāll be a Princess Consort of Great Chu, you must abide by the rules, support your husband, teach the children, and be virtuous!"
Hai Fengās eyes were already red from crying.
"Thank you, Imperial Uncle!"
Fifth Master patted her back to comfort.
"No need to be sad, Fengfeng, Iāll take you back to visit whenever possible!"
This statement greatly pleased Prince Jin.
"The Commandery Prince is indeed a royal descendant, truly perceptive!"
"Thinking this way comforts my heart!"
"Iām at ease leaving Fengfeng to you!"
Fifth Master quickly responded modestly.
"Youāre giving me too much credit, itās what I should do!"
Hai Feng lowered her head, feeling extremely disgusted.
āThat person is utterly two-faced, like a wolf in sheepās clothing!ā
āThe worst part is she canāt find evidence. Terrifying! Truly terrifying!ā
King Western Xia couldnāt care much.
Seeing the time was about right, he called to set off.
The group mounted their horses.
King Western Xia kindly asked Hai Tang.
"Tangtang, can you still ride? Want to switch to a carriage?"
Hai Tang looked back at the city gate.
Then turned away with a forced smile.
"No need, father, Iām used to it!"
King Western Xia didnāt insist, seeing everything was ready.
Immediately ordered.
"Depart!"
The horse team moved slowly.
Carriages followed one by one.
Hai Tang turned her head one last time.
Looked at the still empty city tower.
A wave of huge loss and regret surged in her heart.
She smiled bitterly.
Not seeing is also good, truly nothing worth seeing.
Big brother will always be big brother.
But.
Sheās a Western Xia princess, heās a Chu Marquis.
They can no longer be siblings.
Regret, loss, sorrow, all rushed to her heart.
"Tangtang, what are you doing, hurry up!"
King Western Xia suddenly turned to call her from the front.
Hai Tang was startled and quickly gathered her emotions.
"Alright!"
She spurred the horse.
The strong horse carried her, galloping forward!
