The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 239 Take Us With You (3)

Seeing the young lady coughing and blushing, Xiaoqing leaned over her back, smiled implicitly, and then handed the kettle over. There was no word, but others could feel the brotherhood between the two.

The young soldier looked at Yang Qi and Xiao Qing who were now quiet, took a bite of the meat bun hatefully, and sat behind the general: "These two brothers seem to be honest and upright now, how can they be linked to the two people who were throwing tantrums in the morning, and even drugged them." It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance!

The leading general was never one to go his own way. When he was with the guards and soldiers, he would eat whatever everyone else ate.

Without even raising his eyelids, the general quickly finished his meat bun, said: "Do your own thing," and waved his hand and walked away.

The world is in chaos now, being honest and upright means being stupid and getting beaten. Too many honest and upright farmers have been forced to become bandits, following the bandit leaders to bully more honest and upright people every day.

Holding two meat buns, the general got into the gray carriage.

Then, from the gray carriage came the sound of iron chains colliding and people snorting.

Feeling the sound gradually getting louder, Yangqi and Xiaoqing seemed to want to plug their ears with needle and thread, but secretly they pricked up their ears for fear of missing out on important news.

If there is nothing else, the ultimate purpose of this team of soldiers' dispatch yesterday was probably for the people in this carriage. Judging from the voice, it should be a man.

Then the identity of this man must be interesting, as he is noble enough to warrant the dispatch of such a team, yet he can only be captured secretly.

After spending the day together, Yang Qi heard that the officers and soldiers around him all called the leading man "General". Then the question came, who is this leading man and what kind of general is he?

Who does this general belong to and who does he work for?

Judging from the appearance of the bandits today, I don't think they are His Highness's men. After all, His Highness's men can only stay by this tree, eating cold steamed bread to survive.

Could it be the Fifth Prince’s men?

If they were really the Fifth Prince's men, why would they send a general here secretly? Could the people in the carriage be from the Huo family?

Yang Qi's eyes suddenly widened, a shrewd look flashed across his face, and then he immediately lowered his head, fearing that his gaffe would be noticed by this team of officers and soldiers.

Although the leading general was young, he had also fought on the battlefield. Yang Qi's momentary distraction was captured by this general.

Fortunately, Yang Qi concealed it quickly. As soon as the general noticed a gaze, Yang Qi immediately lowered his head and avoided the search.

With his head lowered, Yang Qi's mind raced. If they were really "members of the Huo family", should he save them or not?

However, the biggest problem now is to confirm as soon as possible whether the person imprisoned in this gray carriage is a member of the "Huo family".

Yang Qi didn't have the ability to identify it, and in the current situation, he didn't have the chance to ask. However, looking at Xiaoqing who was resting with her eyes closed, perhaps Xiaoqing could recognize it.

Following Xiaoqing's example, Yang Qi turned his back to everyone and murmured, "Brother, I don't know if we can catch up." Yang Qi's voice was filled with reluctance and worry.

When he mentioned the escape and the bandits on the way, Xiaoqing put her hand on his. Now Yang Qi deliberately mentioned these things just to make Xiaoqing react and figure out what he was doing now.

Slowly opening her eyes, Xiaoqing's eyes had turned red without her knowing when, just like during the day, Xiaoqing patted Yangqi's hand and said, "We shouldn't have done that."

Yang Qi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a sob: "Brother, we are unfilial!"

Xiaoqing is a secret guard, and this team of officers and soldiers should be generals, both of them are extremely sharp people.

Xiao Qing noticed Yang Qi's rapid approach. She thought the young lady had something important to tell him alone, but the young man felt something was fishy and he sat closer to Yang Qi quietly.

Xiaoqing gave Yangqi some simple advice. She said that the situation was such that for those of us who had no power, apart from playing by the rules set by those in power, there was no other way for us to work hard.

Over the years, any treasure that a family had would eventually end up in the warehouses of these bandit leaders or officials.

Not to mention valuable items, even any pretty girls in the surrounding villages could not escape the clutches of the bandit leader.

Returning to the position where she had just leaned, Xiaoqing closed her eyes and rested, but the things in her heart did not fall into place at all, and she reviewed them quickly in her mind.

Although the young lady just said some high-sounding words to my face, secretly, she was writing on her hand what she really needed to do.

To Xiaoqing's surprise, she had no idea why the young lady wanted to find out the true identity of the man in the gray carriage. This matter had nothing to do with the young lady's current trip to Xihu.

Before departure, His Highness ordered me to send Miss Yang Qi to Xihu as quickly as possible.

But ever since Xiaoqing decided to join the Xihu plan, Commander Peilin and His Highness have both said to her: "On the way to Xihu, you must respect Miss Yangqi's words."

At the last moment, His Highness did not have the opportunity to personally see her off, but Commander Peilin came. Since he was here, Commander Peilin could not help but give a few instructions, such as ensuring Miss Yangqi's safety.

Peilin is the person in charge of the training and task arrangement of the secret guards for His Highness. People like Xiaoqing and Ayi all participated in the training and selection under Peilin's personal leadership, and finally the best secret guards were selected.

Over the past few years, Commander Peilin has been a role model for these secret guards who have not yet joined the ranks, a beacon in the sea. Commander Peilin's words have different meanings for them.

Closing her eyes, Xiaoqing secretly thought about how to approach the gray carriage. Although it was just an ordinary small oil car, in Xiaoqing's eyes, it was more difficult to break into than the courtyard of a noble family.

This ordinary-looking grey carriage had a chassis and surroundings made of the strongest materials. Even if it was chopped with a knife or shot with an arrow, it would be impossible to penetrate it for a while.

The sound of iron chains that just came from the gray carriage also showed his uniqueness to everyone.
