Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Hero Saves the Beautiful Person (4)_1

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Saknu looked gloomily at the enchanting figure under the tree. His mind brimmed with thoughts, swirling and intermingling. In his heart, he wouldn’t like her to leave. She was the only woman who had piqued his interest in over two decades. Unlike other women he had been with, he liked her. He wanted to understand her. Even when she had kicked him in a vital point, he hadn’t thought of retaliating; he wanted to be with her instead. However, as his mother had pointed out, if he genuinely tore his relationship with King Qin apart because of her, his plan to seek the princess of Great Jin would probably be doomed.

Saknu’s father favoured him greatly, intending to hand over the throne to him. Yet, unlike other princes, he didn’t have a powerful family as a backing. He was alone. Other than having a body of steel and the strength to move mountains, he had nothing. Among the Liaodan aristocrats, some continuously criticized him due to his half-Han heritage. Thus, he needed to find a sturdy backing as his stepping stone and safeguard for his ascent to power. Among all, the Great Jin Dynasty was undeniably the strongest, the most compelling backing.

By marrying the legitimate princess of Great Jin, the Great Jin Nation would naturally stand by his side, becoming his robust backing. At that point, who would dare to question his eligibility to rule the grasslands? Who would dare to covet his position as the King of Liaodan?

Most men would choose the country over a beautiful woman. If the country is lost, it is challenging to protect the beautiful woman who might eventually be taken away by a stronger man. However, with a country under his rule, one can always find the beautiful woman once lost.

Saknu’s expression fluctuated, revealing a myriad of emotions. Finally, he made up his mind. He waved at the Liaodan warriors restraining Cai Wei, and they withdrew. Saknu took a stride and left with them. Before leaving, he looked back at Cai Wei, flashed a sinister smile, and said menacingly, "Woman, we will meet again!"

"I don’t want to see you again; you disgust me!" Cai Wei retorted icily.

At her words, Saknu’s smile froze. He watched her for a while, not uttering a word, then laughed loudly and left with a swish of his robe.

No matter whether she was willing or not, once he brought back the princess of the Great Jin, he would ensure that he captured her and kept her by his side!

Saknu left without a backward glance, and his guards followed him. Madam Xiao slowly stepped towards Nangong Yi, curtsied and said apologetically, "It’s my fault for not disciplining my son properly, which resulted in him disrespecting His Highness King Qin. I hope Your Highness would be merciful and forgive him."

Nangong Yi responded indifferently, "No harm done." He then headed towards Cai Wei.

"Come here!" He said softly.

At this moment, the little girl looked utterly disheveled. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were misty, and her petite, frail figure was leaning against the tree. Her buttocks were so swollen that she could hardly stand.

Upon hearing Nangong Yi’s call, she dragged herself over, her steps impossibly stiff, as if her legs were not her own.

Nangong Yi noticed her unusual gait; a shooting pain rushed to his heart, and a thick murderous aura accumulated in his eyes, his voice was as cold as ice.

"What did he do to you?"

At this moment, if Cai Wei claimed that Saknu had violated her, Nangong Yi would surely rush back to kill Saknu, regardless of the consequences.

Thankfully, Cai Wei only mentioned, "That brute slapped me, and it seemed quite harsh!"

Hearing this, Nangong Yi’s icy expression softened noticeably. He took a step forward, lifted Cai Wei into his arms, and held her steadily against his chest before striding towards the outside.

"Farewell, Your Highness King Qin——"

The county magistrate of Qing County shouted and bowed towards Nangong Yi’s retreating figure.
