Chapter 26: Hard to Figure Out

Nie Bing was silent for a moment before saying, “Since he dared to let me follow, we’ll wait for our chance and act! Even a tiger has to take a nap!”

Yin Pan’er nodded and said, “Sister, whatever you want to do, I’ll support you!”

Nie Bing was a little surprised after hearing Yin Pan’er’s words.

“Weren’t you quite optimistic about him? I’m going to kill him…”

Yin Pan’er said with a serious look, “Sister! I obeyed him because I had no choice… he took me by force too. And, I was following him to see what kind of person he is. I used to think he had no choice when he forced himself on me. But now it seems this man is just a lustful demon!”

“Even if he does have some capabilities, a person with bad character is someone I would never marry! So, sister, you don’t have to worry about me… no matter when or where, I will always stand on the same side as you!”

What Yin Pan’er said was truly from her heart. Although Xiao Ce had taken her by force earlier, she hadn’t blamed him too much for it.

After all, he bore the main responsibility for that matter. Also, Xiao Ce was truly in a desperate situation.

Originally, seeing Xiao Ce use his own method to recruit soldiers, and his various actions, had made Yin Pan’er view him a bit differently!

But Nie Bing’s words just now used up all the good feelings that had built up…

Nie Bing was deeply moved after hearing Yin Pan’er’s words.

She hugged Yin Pan’er and said, “Pan’er, you’re so good to me. Aren’t you afraid I might hurt you someday?”

Yin Pan’er replied to Nie Bing, “Sister Nie Bing, you won’t!”

After hearing Yin Pan’er’s words, Nie Bing felt very conflicted and complicated inside.

But she said firmly, “No matter what, I would never hurt you!”

Just at that moment, a woman’s voice came from outside the carriage.

“Young lady!”

Upon hearing this voice, Nie Bing wiped the tear stains from her face. She also recognized it.

It was someone from her Guard Team.

After getting out of the carriage, Nie Bing looked at the person beside the carriage and said, “Sister Chun, what’s the matter?”

The person Nie Bing called Sister Chun said to her, “Young lady, the Prince seems to be doing something in secret. They have cleared the area for several hundred meters and posted special guards to watch! We can’t get close enough to see at all.”

Nie Bing nodded after listening to Sister Chun.

Yin Pan’er said to Nie Bing, “Sister, do you want to go take a look?”

Nie Bing was a little puzzled. “Since his defenses are so tight, he definitely won’t let us go over, right?”

Yin Pan’er said, “Let’s go try!”

Seeing Nie Bing hesitate, Yin Pan’er said, “Sister Nie Bing, right now he should be the one who’s afraid of you… why should it be that he’s afraid of you now!”

Nie Bing nodded with a frown and said, “You’re right!”

With that, the two of them walked towards the location of Xiao Ce’s carriage.

While walking over, Nie Bing also noticed something strange.

“Pan’er, where are those Death Row Prisoners?”

Walking along, Yin Pan’er said to Nie Bing, “Oh right, Xiao Ce sent them to recruit soldiers.”

Nie Bing was puzzled. “Recruit soldiers?”

Yin Pan’er nodded and briefly explained Xiao Ce’s method for recruiting soldiers!

After finishing, she still said with some admiration, “In this aspect, he really does have some guts.”

Nie Bing nodded and said, “If he promises high rewards, maybe some people will come… but where does he get the money? If he can’t pay, even if he recruits soldiers, they’ll probably mutiny.”

Yin Pan’er nodded and said, “But, looking at his confident and earnest manner…”

Before she could finish, she smelled a scent. “So fragrant, what’s that smell…”

Han Da, watching the two approach, said to them, “Princess Consort, the Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to get close.”

Yin Pan’er frowned slightly and said, “Since you also call me Princess Consort, what is it that I can’t know about…”

Han Da looked awkward, bowed, and said, “Princess Consort, please forgive me! The Prince gave the order. How about I send someone to report and ask…”

Seeing Han Da’s attitude, Yin Pan’er knew they couldn’t sneak in, so she nodded in agreement.

Nie Bing said, “Pan’er, he definitely won’t let us go and see. We should go back.”

Yin Pan’er looked at Nie Bing and said, “I just want to see. He keeps saying he treats me as one of his own! If he doesn’t let me in, then it means he’s two-faced. It’s fine to wait a bit, and what is this smell anyway, it actually has a sweet scent.”

…

Xiao Ce here was currently bustling with activity!

He was very satisfied with these servants; they truly lived up to Lin Zhong’s careful selection.

They were also smart, they learned after just one explanation.

At this point, he only needed to supervise the control of the heat.

Just as he was leisurely supervising, he saw Han Da jogging over.

“Han Da, what is it? Did something happen?”

Han Da nodded and said, “Prince, the Princess Consort and Miss Nie Bing want to come in.”

Xiao Ce was taken aback. “Nie Bing is here too?”

Han Da nodded.

“Since they’re here, let them in.”

Seeing this, Han Da cupped his hands, accepted the order, and retreated.

Lin Zhong came forward at this moment and said to Xiao Ce, “Prince, this matter is very important. It’s not appropriate for them to come.”

Lin Zhong had initially been skeptical, but after watching them operate a bit, it really seemed like the real deal.

He felt that Xiao Ce might truly have the ability to turn stone into gold.

Xiao Ce said to Lin Zhong, “Uncle Zhong, rest assured. Those two women, they just want my life. They won’t be interested in these things… and, we’ll be one family eventually! Trust isn’t built in an instant… let’s exchange sincerity for sincerity first!”

Seeing this, Lin Zhong didn’t say any more.

…

Yin Pan’er and Nie Bing, waiting on the outskirts, saw Han Da come out.

Nie Bing said, “Pan’er, just watch. He definitely won’t let us in…”

Yin Pan’er said, “Sister, not necessarily! If Xiao Ce were so easy for us to figure out, we wouldn’t have been… by him…”

After hearing Yin Pan’er’s words, Nie Bing’s eyes immediately dimmed a little…

Yin Pan’er then realized she had said the wrong thing and was about to explain.

Nie Bing said to Yin Pan’er, “Pan’er, you’re right…”

Just then, Han Da stepped forward, bowed to the two of them, and said, “You two, the Prince invites you…”

Yin Pan’er had actually anticipated this somewhat. “Can we both go in?”

Han Da nodded.

Nie Bing looked astonished. “Did you tell the Prince I was here too?”

Han Da nodded and said, “This humble officer told him. The Prince said you are one of us, there’s nothing to hide! Please!”

Nie Bing was extremely surprised; it seemed Yin Pan’er was right.

You really couldn’t measure this man Xiao Ce by common sense!

She actually felt a bit of curiosity towards Xiao Ce in her heart!
