After the meal, Yuan Qingxiao smelled the smell on her body and felt a little disgusted. She asked the waiter to boil water and went to the tent to scrub it. When I smelled my hair, I didn't want to sleep with the smell, so I went to get a basin of water, put it in the open space behind the tent and bent down to wash my hair.
"The wind is cold at night, so you shouldn't wash your hair."
On the way back to the account, Yuan Qingqing raised her hand to wipe her hair. When she heard Qian Zhao's voice, she raised her head to look at him.
The man was sitting next to a fire not far from Yang Ying's tent. The firelight shone on his face. Even though he said words of concern, the man's face remained expressionless.
"The smell is too strong. I'll just bake it in a while." After saying this, the man walked towards the fire and asked the waiter to move a small stool to sit aside.
The little girl had already changed into a loose nightgown. In order to make it easier to wash her hair, she tied up the wide sleeves with a hair tie, exposing her two slender arms. The scar on the outside of the right forearm is obvious, about five inches long, and looks like an old injury. "When was it injured?"
Yuan Qingyuan followed Qian Zhao's line of sight and saw the scar on his hand. "I don't know, I forgot."
The girl's long hair hung down on her chest, still dripping with water. She twisted the veil and began to wipe her hair again.
"If you are curious about my affairs, you can ask me in person instead of asking Ding Hui and the others behind my back." It is really indecent to hang out with those men in one day.
Hearing what Qian Zhao said, Yuan Qing raised her eyes and looked at him. There was not much expression on the man's face, and he did not avoid looking at her. The emotions in his eyes were as hot as the fire reflected in his pupils.
"Who wants to inquire about you!" Yuan Qingyuan looked a little embarrassed when Qian Zhao said it to her face. She didn't want to stay any longer, and didn't care that her hair was still dry. She left these words and turned back to the camp.
Seeing that figure walking away without any regret, Qian Zhao suspected that Yuan Lu had heard wrongly.
"Everyone! Load up and mount up!"
Yuan Qingxiao was woken up by the sound outside. She was still confused, but Yuan Lu's voice could be heard outside. "Sister Niao Niao, get up quickly, we are getting ready to go!"
Over there, Ren Ruyi had already gone to call His Highness, and the entire delegation was busy packing their things, and no one had time to spare.
Yuan Qingxiao heard the commotion outside and quickly put on a white long dress and came out without even tying up her hair. "what happened?"
"Zhou Jian still found out that he had fallen into the trap and had already led an army of thousands to chase him!" After Yuan Lu explained, he also went to help. Upon seeing this, Yuan Qingxiao quickly returned to the camp and packed her things. She took out the dagger from the bottom of the box and inserted it into her belt. Put all the remaining medicine bottles in cloth bags and carry them in your hands. "Yuanbao, the situation may be dangerous today. You go and stay in the cage."
"Okay Niao Niao." Although Yuanbao has energy protection, it is just in the shape of a dog now and can't help much.
"Quick, come and move things!" Yuan Qingxiao rolled up her hair casually with one hand and fixed it on her head with a simple hairpin. Most of her hair was hanging behind her. She didn't have time to order someone to come over and move the boxes.
The atmosphere in the entire mission was tense, and all members sped up and were quickly ready to go.
Seeing that Yang Ying had already dressed under the service of the chamberlain, Yuan Qingxiao hurried over and handed several medicine bottles to her, "Be careful when using the three medicines from last time."
"I know Sister Niao Niao." Yang Ying was wearing a round-neck robe with a blue jewel pattern today and quickly put the medicine bottles into her armholes. Ren Ruyi, who was dressed in red next to him, accidentally glanced at the dagger hanging on Yuan Qingxiao's waist. He was confused, but now was not the time to ask questions. The two of them helped Yang Ying get into the carriage.
Yuan Qingxiao was just about to go horseback riding when Qian Zhao came over and grabbed her. "Everyone get on the carriage and discuss Zhou Jian's affairs."
"Do I want to participate too?" Yuan Qingyuan was full of doubts. Ning Yuanzhou had always been suspicious of her identity. She was obedient and didn't take the initiative to participate. Why did she think of calling her today?
"Well, Boss Ning said it himself." Qian Zhao knew what she was thinking. This girl was so smart, how could she not notice Ning Yuanzhou's suspicion?
Finally, Ren Ruyi and Yuan Qingniao, one in white and the other in red, sat on the left and right of Yang Ying. Qian Zhao sat next to her, Yu Shisan on the left, Ning Yuanzhou sat next to Ren Ruyi, and Yuan Lu sat on the right.
The atmosphere in the car was solemn. Yang Ying held Yuan Qingniao's hand and Yuan Qingniao helped her press several acupuncture points on her hand to relax her.
Ning Yuanzhou was watching with a map, and for a moment no one spoke in the car.
"How long until we get to Shuzhou?" Ning Yuanzhou asked Yuan Lu at this time. Yuan Lu took out a fire certificate and stretched out the car to look at it. "The speed of the car is about twenty miles per stick of incense. We are still about one hundred and eighty miles away from Shuzhou. It will take two hours at the fastest."
Does Yuanlu still have this ability? Yuan Qingying looked at the young man who usually smiled and spoke with a serious face at this moment, and refreshed his understanding of Yuan Lu.
"When the carrier pigeon set off, Zhou Jian had already passed Shibali Fort. In other words, we are still an hour away from us." Yu Shisan looked at everyone and expressed his speculation.
Yuan Qingying had a map of the entire world in her mind. She opened it and looked at it. She had been here before when she was running a map. There was only one road leading to Shuzhou, which crisscrossed the valley.
After five years in this world, this is the first time Yuan Qingying has faced this situation head-on, and she doesn't know if she can participate in the battle in this world. I poked at the plot book in my mind. The plot book replied with a few words "Do not use power beyond this realm", and then it was gone. Yuan Qingyuan probably understands now that she is also a real member of the plot and can reasonably participate in anything that happens in the plot.
There are only a few dozen people in the mission, and there is almost no way to survive directly against Zhou Jian's thousand-man troops. No matter what purpose Ning Yuanzhou had for calling her over to discuss matters together, now she was also a member of the mission and was integrated with the mission. She understands the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold. Yuan Qingyuan is also thinking about how to solve this crisis with them without exposing more.
"We will definitely be overtaken. There is no way to avoid this tough battle." Qian Zhao glanced at Yuan Qingxiao. The little girl didn't have the smile of the past, and she was holding her breath. She didn't know martial arts and had never experienced a battle. Qian Zhao thought the little girl was scared and wanted to comfort her. There were so many people in the car that he didn't know what to do.
Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Yuan Qingyuan thought of a countermeasure and immediately said, "I have been to this area before. There is only this road leading to Shuzhou. There are mountain peaks on both sides. The narrowest part of the official road is only one foot. You can blow up the mountain in a narrow place to block the way in and buy time." There are several places along the way to Shuzhou that are suitable for this.
After Yuan Qingniao said this, he looked at Yuan Lu. She once heard Yuan Lu say that he had developed a weapon called thunder fire bombs, which were similar to explosives, but they didn't know how powerful they were.
Everyone in the car looked at Yuan Qingxiao. They originally thought that she said she was traveling around the country just to tease Yuan Lu, but they didn't expect it to be true.
Ren Ruyi had used Yuan Lu's thunder bullets before, and immediately understood what Yuan Qingxiao meant. After some calculation, she asked Yuan Lu for two. He got up and walked to the shaft of the carriage, changed horses with Ding Hui, and rode back the way he came from to find the best position.
"Sister Niao Niao, is it really useful?" Yang Ying probably understood and looked at Yuan Qing Niao.
This idea is so useful! Ning Yuanzhou was very glad that he listened to Ren Ruyi's suggestion during today's discussion and asked Qian Zhao to call Yuan Qingniao.
Last night he was chatting with Ren Ruyi and accidentally mentioned Yuan Qingniao. Ren Ruyi's original words were as follows: "Yuan Qingniao is from an unorthodox female official background. She knows a lot about crooked ways and has many evil ideas. Next time you discuss things, call her. She may be able to give you a different surprise."
The little girl's eyes were filled with admiration and curiosity. Yuan Qing smiled and touched her face. Such a cute little Highness, life is fun. "If we operate it properly and bomb a few more places, we will have enough time to go to Shuzhou."
"Ms. Yuan, why do you have such a long head? Can you think of such a way?" Yu Shisan marveled at Yuan Qingniao's intelligence. He originally thought that Yuan Qingniao could only make medicinal meals and see doctors.
"Having seen a lot, you will naturally know something about everything." Her life is very long and she has experienced a lot. With her rich experience, her mind will naturally move faster.
"You are similar to Lao Qian. Lao Qian is also good at playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as cheating and abduction." When saying this, Yu Shisan's eyes flickered back and forth between Yuan Qingniao and Qian Zhao.
Qian Zhao coughed awkwardly, and several people who knew the inside story raised their lips. Yuan Qingyuan was confused for a moment, and the atmosphere in the car became a little more relaxed.
After about a stick of incense, there was an explosion from behind. Ning Yuanzhou opened the curtain and looked back, but the red figure was nowhere to be seen. Worried in his heart, he asked the envoy to stop and wait for Ren Ruyi.
A group of seven people stood next to the carriage and watched. The sound of horse hooves could be heard. Ding Hui took the initiative to run over and lead the horse. Ren Ruyi got off the horse and walked over with a relaxed expression, "Now it's half an hour longer."
Qian Zhao saw this and looked at the calm girl beside him. She seemed to have expected success. He turned around and immediately told Sun Lang: "If you encounter a narrow official road ahead, do the same."
Over there, Ning Yuanzhou opened the map, thought for a while, and then said, "We are not going to Shuzhou and will go to Tianxing Gorge instead."
Yuan Qingyuan had also been to Tianxing Gorge when he was running a map. They were at Qifengpo now, and the distance to Tianxing Gorge was about the same as to Shuzhou. Obviously we can reach Shuzhou safely by blowing up the official road, so why change the route?
Tianxing Gorge is not a city gate, and there is no military guard at all. However, the terrain is complex and very suitable for an ambush. She immediately thought clearly about Ning Yuanzhou's meaning and wondered, "Why do we have to fight this battle?"
There were only seventy-one people in the envoy plus Ren Ruyi. Even if these people from Liu Daotang were highly skilled in martial arts and could fight one against ten, they would still be nothing more than an egg against a stone against Zhou Jian's thousand-man army.
Several people looked at Yuan Qingxiao. They hadn't guessed Ning Yuanzhou's intention yet, but a female medical officer guessed it first.
Ning Yuanzhou was surprised by Yuan Qingyuan's keenness, but time was running out now and it was not the time to delve deeper. "Instead of running away all day, it's better to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
King Danyang will not let them go easily. They can escape this time but not next time. It would be better to take advantage of the terrain this time and kill one to serve as a warning to others, so that King Danyang would not dare to intercept them easily again.
Yuan Qingyuan, who once held a high position, immediately understood what he meant. Ning Yuanzhou's idea was right. If they could win this battle beautifully, the next journey would be much smoother.
Yang Ying didn't quite understand, so even if she heard that there was going to be a war, apart from fear and worry, she didn't dare to speak for fear of disturbing brother Yuanzhou's train of thought.
