Lu Shaoting really did what he said. Ever since he caused some commotion in the post house that night, he had indeed strictly controlled the people under him, and nothing like bumping into the young lady had ever happened again.
These days, Qin Wanwan is sitting in Cui Qingqing's car every day, playing chess with Cui Qingqing for fun, and her energy is getting stronger day by day.
There was no choice. Although Cui Qingqing had a straightforward temper, her talent was really poor. She lost to Qin Wanwan every time, but she refused to admit defeat.
Although she was a complete loser emotionally, Qin Wanwan finally found her confidence in Cui Qingqing.
Qin Xiangxiang also let her go. Although the world is harsh on women, it is not impossible for women to live without men.
Mu Ting still maintained the habit of staying in Qin Xiangxiang's car for half an hour every day.
But every time he got into the car to draw a map, Qin Xiangxiang couldn't yell and drive him out.
But after a few days, she really got used to it. He always has to get in the car anyway, and it's better to do it at night than in the morning.
Chen Ze's face was getting worse day by day, especially when he saw that Cui Qingqing really had no feelings for Mu Ting and no jealousy towards Mrs. Qin, and even praised Mrs. Qin's cooking skills with a shy face. After getting it, it stinks even more.
Mrs. Qin must have put ecstasy in the food she made for Cui Qingqing.
Compared with his stinky face, Lu Shaoting's face was not that stinky.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy has been on the road for half a month. The speed is not very fast. It has always set off in the morning, has a meal on the road at noon, and rushes in the afternoon. It can be said that it arrived at the post house. It's very leisurely.
But it soon came to a point where the distance between the two posthouses became farther and farther away from the capital. It can be seen that some roads are in disrepair, a small part of the road is overgrown with grass, and some have even collapsed. There are overlapping mountains and forests on both sides of the road, and there are sparsely populated areas.
"Prince Mu, please speed up the convoy." Lu Shaoting urged Mu Ting in a rare way.
Mu Ting looked at the sunset, which was gradually losing its beauty, and frowned slightly. We are still about twenty miles away from the nearest inn. If we don't speed up a bit, we will have to spend the night in the wild tonight.
It doesn't matter if they do it to grown men, but it's not convenient for little ladies.
They were walking in Hexiang County at this time, and after walking for two days, they would be in Cangzhou.
Cangzhou is a very strange place. The poor are extremely poor and the rich are extremely rich. There are countless poor people and only a handful of rich people. The rich families in Cangzhou have five surnames. Princess Huizhen's mother, Princess Jiaqing, is from one of the rich families in Cangzhou, with the surname Pan.
In fact, the head of Jiaqing County turned out to be just a concubine from a branch of the Pan family with a very low status. Before Ji Ji, she never left the front door and spent all day embroidering. , unexpectedly met Marquis Quan'an who was visiting privately incognito, and this led to a love story with the son of the eldest princess.
The Lord of Jiaqing County caught the eye of Marquis Quan'an and captured his heart. The Marquis of Quan'an refused to marry Feiqing. The eldest princess personally sought the emperor's favor and canonized the young lady who was originally a concubine from a side branch as the Lord of Jiaqing County. Marrying Marquis Quan'an in a grand manner, he entered the high gate of the eldest princess's palace.
It turned out to be a love story that people can talk about. The young ladies in Cangzhou were extremely envious of the Lord of Jiaqing County, and dreamed that one day they could fly up a branch and become a phoenix like the Lord of Jiaqing County.
Unfortunately, within a few years, both the Marquis of Quan'an and the Lord of Jiaqing County died, and no one mentioned this poignant love story again.
Although the head of Jiaqing County was canonized as the head of the county, her two younger brothers did not rise to heaven because of her. Instead, they still worked in the shop of the Pan family in Cangzhou.
Mu Ting spent a lot of effort to find out this information from the old man in the eldest princess's mansion.
Yang Kai rushed over and seemed to be talking to Lu Shaoting with a faint smile, but his voice was very loud: "Commander Lu, I heard that there are wild wolves on this section of the road in Hexiang County."
Mu Ting looked at him. Yang Kai was not as calm as Lu Shaoting.
"Then Commander Yang should be careful, this wild wolf doesn't have eyes."
Yang Kai snorted and looked at the car where the ladies were sitting: "If a wild wolf really attacks, who will Prince Mu protect first?"
"Commander Yang!" Lu Shaoting stopped Yang Kai and turned to Mu Ting expressionlessly, "Although Commander Yang's words don't sound good, what he said is the truth."
So what if those female guards knew some boxing and kicking skills? Women's strength is ultimately inferior to that of men, not to mention those ferocious, animalistic wolves.
But this is a perfect opportunity... Lu Shaoting narrowed his eyes.
Although the convoy speeded up, when the sky darkened, they were still on the deserted mountain forest road.
It was not impossible to continue driving under the cover of night, but just when the convoy was about to go around a mountain forest, a wheel of Princess Huizhen's car suddenly broke.
Xiao Man frowned: "I obviously checked the wheels when I set off from the inn today."
The people from the Imperial City Department stayed far away, and Mu Ting personally inspected it: "It can still be repaired, but it will take some effort. It's getting late now, so let's just hit it on the spot tonight."
They are distinct from the people in the Imperial City Division. Mu Ting and others were on the east side, and Lu Shaoting led his twenty subordinates on the west side, separated by a small hillside. Both groups of people picked up many dead branches and lit a blazing fire.
Qin Xiangxiang jumped out of the car and took down her pot along the way: "Prince Mu, if there is a water source nearby, you can boil some hot water." She could even cook a pot of flat food.
Finding water sources was not difficult for Mu Ting and others. Four people, including Yao Erlang, Zhu Sanlang, and Kang Si, traveled together and quickly found the water source and returned with several full water bags. He also dragged several thick tree trunks back along the way.
Although Chen Ze despised Qin Xiangxiang, when Qin Xiangxiang conjured up a pot full of fragrant vegetarian food, he did not hesitate to fill up a bowl.
Qin Xiangxiang not only made flat food, but also started to bake pancakes.
Warm food is certainly more tempting than dry pancakes. But Lu Shaoting didn't issue an order, and the Imperial City Inspector didn't even look at him.
Princess Huizhen had already moved to another carriage. After Yao Erlang had eaten and drank, he began to repair the wheels.
Although it was already early summer, it was still freezing cold in the mountains and forests at night.
Qin Xiangxiang was still packing her belongings when Mu Ting came over and helped her pack.
Qin Xiangxiang did not refuse, and even instructed Mu Ting how to tidy up.
The young and brave Prince Mu was very busy under the command of Mrs. Qin.
Kang Si was about to join in to help clean up, but Hong Wu gently pulled him back. Kang Si looked at Hong Wu in confusion, and Hong Wu said in his ear: "When I look at you, I have never been with a young lady before, so I don't understand the style."
Kang Si was not convinced. He and Hong Wu had grown up together and he had never gotten along with a young lady. Did Hong Wu have experience?
Hong Wu glared at him: "I have more eyes than you."
Kang Si was about to refute him when he suddenly saw Mrs. Qin straightening up and looking around warily. After a moment, she asked sharply: "Who killed the fish?"
A gust of forest wind blew, and even Qin Wanwan, who was pacing to eat, smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.
No one on their side kills fish!
Mu Ting raised his eyebrows and said sternly to Lu Shaoting: "But you killed the fish over there?"
"We are not fools! Prince Mu has seen clearly that our Imperial City Division only eats cold food, but you, on the other hand, cook it in this way and that way. The smell of the food will also attract wild beasts!"
Lu Shaoting said disdainfully.
"No matter how much you talk, it won't help! It's better to defend yourself quickly! The smell of blood is so strong, and the wolves will come in just a moment!"
Chen Ze shouted.
"Defense is inevitable, but those who use the smell of blood to attract wolves should be damned!"
