Chapter 1434: Maybe They Would Succeed?

Prince De’s face turned green when he thought about how the 18 Stockaded Villages were related to Qian Jiyun. He felt he had been a big joke!

He thought that even if he could not take control of the 18 Stockaded Villages, he could build a good relationship with the 18 heads of the 18 Stockaded Villages before Qian Jiyun.

However, that did not seem to be the case.

So these people lured him here deliberately? Was this a play orchestrated by Qian Jiyun?

“Yes!” Jian Xun sighed softly and looked at Prince De, his gaze somewhat scattered. “So, Your Highness, do you still think you can escape from this place?”

Prince De’s expression turned ugly.

He had cursed Qian Jiyun countless times in his heart. Why was this person so disgusting? Why did he insist on pestering him?

However, he recalled that it was not Qian Jiyun who pestered and schemed against him. It was his good father who had forced Qian Jiyun into a corner, leaving him feeling powerless.

“Damn Qian Jiyun!” He cursed.

His father only became so wary of Qian Jiyun because he had amassed military power.

If Qian Jiyun did not have ill intentions, his father would not be so afraid and eager to get rid of him. There was a reason for all this.

However, he was unlucky to be caught between Qian Jiyun and his father. He was destined to meet a bad end.

“No, I have to leave this godforsaken place.”

He had initially thought that the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages would never kill him. However, he changed his mind when he learned that the 18 Stockaded Villages were related to Qian Jiyun.

There was nothing Qian Jiyun could not do. Even if he did ask the 18 Stockaded Villages to kill him, he would have 1,000 excuses to say that he had died at the hands of others.

If he died, even his coffin wouldn’t be able to hold him down!

“Jian Xun, we can’t sit around and wait for death anymore. We have to think of a way to leave!”

Jian Xun looked at him and asked, “Leave? How do you want to leave, Your Highness?”

He might be a bit foolish, but he was not stupid. Although the guards of the 18 Stockaded Villages seemed lax in their duties, they watched them closely during the meal deliveries three times a day and the brief outdoor time.

Even at night, no one would leave the door.

Prince De closed his eyes and exhaled heavily. “There will be a way. We’re both alive and kicking. Would we be suffocated to our deaths here?”

One of them was Prince De, and the other was an heir apparent. They were not stupid, right?

Were they so stupid that they could not even leave this place?

“How about this? Let’s untie each other first,” he said.

“Okay.”

Although Jian Xun did not have much hope of escaping, he wanted to give it a try when he heard Prince De’s words.

Maybe they would succeed?

However, before he could do anything, he heard Prince De stop him.

“Wait!”

“Is there anything else you want to say?” Jian Xun paused and asked.

Should they come up with a plan first? That was impossible. Although they had been here for a long time, they did not know anything about the villages.

Once they escaped, they would have to adapt to the situation as it unfolded.

“Let’s wait a little longer. Someone will deliver dinner soon. We’ll take action after the person leaves,” Prince De said.

No one would pay attention to them for a long time after dinner was delivered. It would be more advantageous to escape then.
