CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 391: NATIONAL DIVINE WEAPON

"Jiaojiao, stop fooling around!"

Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Mrs. Wei Shen immediately frowned, "Listen to your godmother; I’ll help you solve this matter!"

"Godmother, I’m not fooling around!"

Yuan Bao looked at his godmother with seriousness, "I think I know why the Fourteenth Prince is targeting me!"

"You do?"

Mrs. Wei Shen was stunned.

Yuan Bao solemnly nodded.

However, before Yuan Bao could speak privately with the Fourteenth Prince, someone suddenly appeared and knocked down all the Fourteenth Prince’s subordinates who held the upper hand.

"Master?!"

Seeing the newcomer, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but exclaim.

The newcomer was indeed Yuan Bao’s highly skilled master. Of course, she had not yet been formally recognized as a disciple by her master.

"Tang Zhen, how daring of you!"

Ying Li appeared, first effortlessly defeating all the Fourteenth Prince’s subordinates, then looked towards the Fourteenth Prince, whose expression had drastically changed.

"Mr. Ying?!"

The Fourteenth Prince directly collapsed to the ground, evidently terrified.

Yuan Bao, seeing the Fourteenth Prince collapse, was also startled.

When meeting her highly skilled master at the Eldest Princess’s residence, Yuan Bao had been curious about the origins of this immortal-like master.

Unfortunately, even after asking her highly skilled master multiple times, she never received an answer.

"Sir, I didn’t know Princess Jiafu was your disciple!"

"Had I known Princess Jiafu was your disciple, I would never have dared to entertain any thoughts!"

"As if you would dare!"

Ying Li snorted coldly.

"Ignorance is not a crime!"

"This time, I won’t hold it against you, but if there’s a next time, you might as well find a rope and hang yourself!"

"Rest assured, sir, there will definitely not be a next time!"

The Fourteenth Prince hastily replied.

However, his voice was clearly trembling.

"If Mr. Ying has no other instructions, Tang Zhen will take his leave!"

Hearing the Fourteenth Prince say this, Ying Li waved his hand indifferently.

Seeing this, the Fourteenth Prince immediately took his personal eunuch Mao Shenggong and left at the fastest speed.

As for those prince’s guards who were knocked down by Ying Li, they also fled out as the Fourteenth Prince and Mao Shenggong left. After all, their master had left, so they no longer had to pretend to be dead.

"Master, why did you come?"

Suddenly turning danger into safety, Yuan Bao excitedly jumped to her highly skilled master and then looked at Mrs. Wei Shen, saying, "Godmother, this is my master!"

"Greetings, Mr. Ying!"

Mrs. Wei Shen also recognized Ying Li.

"Godmother, you know my master?"

"Silly girl, you surely are blessed with foolish happiness!"

Looking at Yuan Bao’s surprised expression, Mrs. Wei Shen sighed inwardly.

Ying Li’s existence was not exactly a secret in Daxia.

However, not everyone knew about Ying Li’s existence. Generally speaking, only those whose status and position reached a certain level were qualified to know about Ying Li’s existence.

Of course, many people only knew that there was a Mr. Ying in Daxia, but few were qualified to know what Mr. Ying looked like or whether he was male or female.

"You, not bad!"

Ying Li glanced at Mrs. Wei Shen and said faintly.

"Master, godmother is very good to me!"

Yuan Bao felt that her master’s evaluation of her godmother was a bit lacking and wanted to vindicate her godmother.

Mrs. Wei Shen gently patted Yuan Bao’s head, saying, "Silly girl, that’s exactly what your master means!"

"Oh, master, is that right?"

Yuan Bao straightforwardly asked her master.

Ying Li nodded slightly, accepting Mrs. Wei Shen’s explanation.

"Master, you haven’t said why you came?"

"I’ve been here all along!"

Ying Li replied indifferently.

Yuan Bao was dumbfounded, her whole being somewhat panicked.

If it was true, as her highly skilled master said, she had been here all along, wouldn’t that mean her act of using the space to drop firewood on the street had been exposed?

"Master, you... know?"

Yuan Bao looked at Ying Li, her little eyes full of unease.

No way around it, the existence of the space was too bizarre.

She originally planned to keep it a secret for life.

"I know!"

Ying Li chuckled softly, saying, "Why? Are you scared now?"

"I understand!"

Hearing her master’s words, Yuan Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

From her master’s words, she inferred that her master did not intend to dig deeper into her secrets.

"The fact that you obtained such a treasure is your fate; I won’t interfere!"

"However, since this item has fallen into your hands, there are some things you probably can’t escape!"

"Master, what things?"

Yuan Bao blinked, unable to understand what use the space could have.

Could it be that she was to farm in the space?

Well, if she were to be farming in the space, it might exhaust her to death.

"Just like the Fourteenth Prince said, you need to become the national asset of Daxia!"

"As they say, ’Armament moves without provisions!’"

Well, Yuan Bao understood upon hearing this.

At this time, when the army is campaigning, the required provisions are substantial. Why is it substantial? Because to satisfy the food consumption of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, there needs to be tens of thousands of civilians transporting grain.

Tens of thousands of civilian transporters and over ten thousand mules and horses, the consumption of food and fodder along the way is also a significant number.

But with her space transporting provisions, it would save the consumption of thousands of people.

Moreover, she alone transporting provisions, with only a small number of elite escorts, reduced the chance of the provisions being destroyed en route.

If she traveled with the army, it would be even more secure.

The national asset!

Well, indeed, she had become the national asset.

"Master, I feel that asking me to transport provisions is somewhat overkill!"

Yuan Bao was a bit displeased.

Ying Li chuckled softly, saying, "Little girl, you are still so little; besides transporting provisions, what else can you do, go to the battlefront?"

"Uh, that I can’t do!"

Going to battle?

Don’t even start!

Not to mention that she was still a child, even if she grew up, she had no interest in becoming Hua Mulan.

"Since you can’t, then do what you’re supposed to do obediently!"

"Since the Fourteenth Prince guessed this matter and I’ve already stepped in, it can’t continue to be concealed!"

"I will report this matter to Emperor Xia; you just await the reward!"

"Thank you, master!"

What else could Yuan Bao say?

She could only genuinely thank her master’s guidance.

By this point, Yuan Bao was almost sure that becoming her master’s true disciple was close at hand.

Ying Li came and left like the wind.

After she left, Mrs. Wei Shen summoned Yuan Bao to go home.

"Godmother, aren’t you curious about what we were talking about?"

"Silly girl, don’t inquire unnecessarily in situations like this; it breeds resentment!"

Mrs. Wei Shen raised her hand and knocked on Yuan Bao’s head, "Some people and some matters are secrets!"
