Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

The atmosphere gradually became tense, and Shiji spoke up: "We took you away for the convenience of our actions, not because of anyone. Too many people would be too conspicuous. In this empire where men are superior to women, I did this to get what I want."

As Shiji spoke, his cold eyes swept across the warriors, and they immediately became serious.

It was obvious that these warriors had a deep respect for Ishiji.

They tried to express their refusal with their eyes, but under Shiji's penetrating gaze, they could only obey his arrangements.

One warrior was the first to bow his head and agree, and the other warriors followed suit, because none of them dared to disobey Shiji.

Seeing that the warriors agreed to be taken away, Shiji took out the space ring and put them in one by one.

It was not until all the warriors disappeared that Manrong felt the dangerous gazes around her decreased.

Although some time was wasted after the warriors were put away, they no longer aroused suspicion.

The number of people was reduced from the original large team to only Manrong and Shiji.

They continued walking towards the suburbs, and sure enough, no one suspected the two beggars, not even the killer passing by.

Man Rong suddenly said: "Your decision is right. This saves us a lot of trouble."

"The princess has been worried about this matter since she entered the city. Since we are allies now, I should also show my sincerity." Shiji said lightly.

Manrong felt that choosing Shiji as an ally was a very wise decision. They avoided unnecessary dangers, walked quickly, and soon reached the suburbs.

Manrong asked Shiji to wait for her at her place in the suburbs, as she was going to meet an old friend. Shiji got curious and secretly followed Manrong to a house.

He saw Manrong meeting an older woman in the house and treating her with great respect, just like a child treating an elder.

This made Shiji wonder about the identity of this woman. The woman was pretty, but Shiji couldn't see anything special about her.

He wondered what impact this woman would have on their cooperation. Although he was a skilled martial artist, he could not figure out Princess Manrong's style.

While he was thinking, Manrong was about to leave. Shiji knew that he should return to the place designated by Manrong as soon as possible. He was agile and had been waiting there long before Manrong returned to that place.

However, Shiji couldn't help but ask Manrong: "Who is that woman?"

Manrong wanted to say "None of your business", but then she thought, how did Shiji know that she was seeing a woman? She said angrily, "You followed me? This gives me reason to suspect that you were bribed by Xiaoqing to monitor me! We are just partners. I can keep my whereabouts secret because I am not sure if you are trustworthy."

"So I hope that Mr. Chu will not follow others like this again in the future, otherwise we will have to terminate our partnership. Even without you, I can fight Xiaoqing on my own!" Manrong continued.

Shi Ji said with some disdain: "I admit that I am sorry to Princess Manyong this time, but the princess is taking herself too seriously. If I hadn't helped you, you would have died in the wilderness."

"I followed you because I wanted to know who you were meeting and also for our cooperation. What if you break the agreement?" Shiji retorted.

Man Rong stared at the man who had just followed her and was still mocking her. She almost wanted to break up with Shi Ji, but she thought that if he had not been willing to save her at that time, she would have died in a foreign land, not to mention overthrowing her sister and seizing the throne.

Shiji looked at Manrong's gradually darkening face and knew that he had a slight advantage in this confrontation. The person in front of him needed his power to help her realize her desire.

Man Rong spoke again: "Mr. Chu is really thoughtful, but you don't need to know who that woman is. We just need to get what we want. I hope Mr. Chu will not act rashly in the future."

Shiji knew that she was still doubtful and unwilling to tell him, so she stopped asking.

Manrong felt relieved when she saw Shiji stopped asking questions. She secretly glanced at Shiji and saw a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Manrong thought to herself that although she could not fully trust Shiji yet, after all, he saved her from the pursuers, and she was grateful to him. If she did not trust him, how could she ask him to help her regain the throne?

Shiji was thinking in her heart, since Manrong didn't believe in her, there was no need for her to waste time here any longer.

He didn't want to waste time with Man Rong any more, so he made up his mind and said, "I understand. You don't need my help anyway, so you should find a way to take back the throne. I am of no use to you, so you can do it yourself."

Manrong could tell that Shiji was speaking in anger, but she still found it funny and angry. She didn't expect Shiji to break up with her and say such things just because of such a small matter.

Manrong smiled and began to comfort Shiji: "What do you mean by that? You'd better admit that you said it in anger. I will pretend that nothing happened. We are still friends and you continue to help me."

Shiji smiled disdainfully: "Friend? If you don't even trust me, how can I be your friend? How can I help you?"

Manrong didn't say anything, because she could see that Shiji was really angry. But for the sake of her throne and revenge plan, she could only think of a way to keep Shiji.

Manrong walked up to Shiji. Shiji saw her coming over and looked a little strange, so he quickly said, "Hey, hey, stay away from me, what do you want to do? I won't fall for it!"

Shiji's expression gradually became flustered, her face was at a loss, and her eyes contained shyness, helplessness, and a hint of rejection.

Manrong usually saw Shiji as a relatively stable person, and it was the first time she saw him so overwhelmed, and she felt a little uncomfortable. But in the midst of her discomfort, she also found his expression somewhat funny, and couldn't help laughing.

Shiji also noticed his strange behavior, scratched his head, a little shy, and didn't know what to say. Seeing Shiji like this, Manrong felt more amused and teased him more deliberately.

Seeing Shiji like this, Manrong stopped teasing him and said directly: "Okay, no more jokes. I'll tell you the truth. I have something to do now. It's not that I don't trust you, but I just think the time is not right. When the time comes, I will definitely tell you." After hearing this, Shiji felt that since he had already promised Manrong, he had to swallow his anger and stop arguing with her. He said: "I know, you must have your reasons for not telling me. When you are willing to tell me, tell me. By the way, what did you say you had to do?"

Seeing that Shiji had quickly gotten to the point, Manrong said, "I'm going to a place, a very important place. I'd like you to accompany me, is that okay?"

Shiji smiled, thinking that Manrong wanted to take her out to play, so she pretended to be shy and said, "Oh, we've only known each other for a few days, and you're going out to play with me. Isn't that a bad idea? The main thing is..."

Before Shiji finished speaking, Manrong couldn't listen any more, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? I was talking about going to do something, who said I was taking you out to play? It's something important! Can you be more serious?"

Shiji immediately became serious and said solemnly, "What's the matter? Just leave it to your brother Xiao! Brother Xiao is the best! Do you know that?"

Man Rong rolled her eyes speechlessly and continued, "I want to go to the Broken Jade Palace. That place is heavily guarded and I can't get in. But in order to regain the throne, I have to go in. And there are so many pursuers chasing me here, I think you know it better than me. So I want to ask you for help, okay?"

After hearing Manrong's request, Shiji smiled and replied, "It's just a small matter? How difficult is it? Leave it to your brother Xiao, and it will be done right away! Don't worry, I will definitely let you in tomorrow, and you will go in safely. Just watch me!"

Manrong listened, nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, indeed. It's getting late, let's take action tomorrow."

Although Shiji spoke so confidently, Manrong still had some doubts about his ability. She hoped that Shiji could really take her in safely tomorrow as he said.

Soon, the next morning came quietly. Manrong came to Shiji's door early, quietly waiting for him to appear. After a long while, seeing that Shiji still didn't move, she couldn't help but knock on the door and shouted: "Shiji, get up quickly! Look at what time it is?"

Shiji heard the voice and opened the door in a daze. She rubbed her eyes and was a little surprised to see Manrong appear so early. "Why are you here so early? It's not even day yet. Let me sleep a little longer. We'll act after I wake up."

Man Rong didn't listen to him and immediately retorted loudly: "No, hurry up! We have to set off now and go to the Broken Jade Palace!"

Shiji knew that Manrong had a plan, but he didn't expect that the plan would start so early. He muttered, "Going to Suiyu Palace so early? Why are you going there? Is it so urgent? Can't you rest a little longer?"

Manrong calmed down, looked at Shiji seriously, and said coldly: "Shiji, this is my important plan. I have to go to Suiyu Palace to get something. You should get up quickly and don't waste time, otherwise you will have to re-plan for several days."

Seeing Manrong so serious, Shiji immediately perked up and replied, "I know. I'll come after I wash my face. But have you thought about the plan to go to Suiyu Palace? If you have a detailed plan, please tell me so that it will be more convenient for us to act."

Seeing that Shiji was so serious about the plan, Manrong happily said slowly: "The plan is to go to Suiyu Palace to get something this morning. To be more specific, we have to go in from the east gate of Suiyu Palace."

After hearing this, Shiji became even more curious. He asked in confusion, "Why do we have to go in from the east? We can just find a random door. With our strength, can't we easily deal with those guards?"

Manrong was speechless after hearing what Shiji said. She patiently explained, "Do you know that if we act rashly, it will alert the enemy and cause a huge sensation? Besides, I am trying to regain the throne. These people may be my subordinates in the future. I don't want to hurt innocent people."

"The most important thing is that the east gate is usually not guarded by many people, and it's their shift change time in the morning. If we go quickly, maybe we can catch up with the shift change and sneak in. Do you understand? It's not that I look down on you. If I looked down on you, I wouldn't ask you for help."

Shiji listened to Manrong's words and felt that they made a lot of sense. He saw from Manrong's words how she would be after she regained the throne, how much she loved her people and kingdom. This further strengthened Shiji's determination to help Manrong.

Soon, Shiji finished washing up. Manrong had been waiting for him at the door for a long time and couldn't wait any longer.

Manrong began to say impatiently: "Can you hurry up? If you are any slower we won't be able to get in! Are you okay?"

Shiji walked out of the room slowly, still saying, "Okay, okay."

After Shiji came out, he stared at Manrong for a while. Seeing this, Manrong jokingly said, "Why are you staring at me? I know I'm pretty, but there's no need to stare at me like this, right?"

Shiji shook her head and said seriously, "Are we going to go there wearing this? It would be strange if we are not discovered! There seems to be something wrong with your plan."

Man Rong thought about it and realized that it was true. She had not considered the clothing issue. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was not from the Broken Jade Palace.

Man Rong suggested: "It seems that we can't go to Suiyu Palace today. We have to plan for a few more days. Let's just leave it at that for now."

Shiji didn't say anything and turned away for a while. Manrong saw Shiji left without saying a word and thought there was something urgent.

After a while, Shiji came back, brought back a bundle and threw it to Manrong.

Manrong curiously opened the bundle and asked, "What is this? Is it for me?"

At first glance, it turned out to be the uniform of the soldiers of the Broken Jade Palace. I didn't expect Shiji to finish it so quickly.

Manrong said in surprise: "Wow, Shiji, you did it so quickly? How did you do it?"

Shiji smiled and said proudly: "Don't you see who I am? Your brother Xiao has a way!"

Then, they both changed their clothes immediately. After changing, Manrong patted her clothes and said with a smile: "You know what, it fits me well."

In this way, Shiji and Manrong changed their clothes and prepared to start their plan.

Manrong and Shiji quickly changed into the exclusive uniforms of the Suiyu Palace guards, but because their looks were too outstanding, Shiji used the illusion technique to change their faces into those of ordinary servants. With this disguise, Manrong's original nervousness was slightly relieved, and he walked with his back straight.

After they finished disguising themselves, they quickly headed towards the Suiyu Palace. Halfway through, they suddenly encountered a group of servants, led by a head nanny, who walked in unison. The nanny's eyes suddenly swept towards Shiji and Manrong. Manrong was startled, and although she remained calm on the surface, her hands were shaking slightly. This nanny was the head of her palace, and they often met. (End of this chapter)
