Chapter 673
Xiao Tong didn't take the herald's words seriously and hurried on at full speed. Will the carriage be comfortable?
She lazily said to Shen Hai: "Tell General Qin, why are you in such a hurry? Someone go and notify my fourth brother first. My fourth brother will definitely be waiting for us at the inn!"
Shen Hai lowered his face and said directly: "General Qin said that the time has been delayed. We must catch up with King Yi's team during lunch!"
"General Qin said that if you feel that you can't bear the hardship, I can send you back before you leave the imperial capital!"
Xiao Tong frowned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said: "Who said that this princess can't bear hardships? Just go at full speed!"
Shen Hai smiled coldly and shouted loudly: "Go ahead at full speed!"
The team moved forward at an extremely fast speed. Xiao Tong was instantly staggered by the bumps of the carriage. It was Qin Ruosi and the two palace maids who quickly caught her and hugged her together to avoid being bruised and swollen.
After several hours of jolting, they finally caught up with Xiao Lintian's team at the first rest station.
Xiao Lintian and the others had already finished their lunch, just to wait for them. Xiao Lintian was not in a hurry to let the team set off.
Seeing their carriage coming, Xiao Lintian did not give them a chance to dismount and rest. He directly asked Lu Qing to pass the order and continue on the road. There was no need for dinner and they must get to the inn where they were staying before dark.
Xiao Tong had been shaken so much that his whole body was about to fall apart. He was still thinking of going to the rest station to have a good rest, but he didn't expect that before he got off the carriage, Shen Hai came over again to convey Xiao Lintian's order.
Xiao Tong was so angry that he started scolding: "Xiao Lintian, are you deliberately letting me die? You have rested yourself, and you don't care whether we live or die?"
"General Qin, don't listen to him! Rest when I tell you to!"
Qin Shan didn't even dismount his horse. He ran up to Xiao Tong and said coldly.
"We have delayed the time. It is a great kindness that King Yi did not punish us!"
"Sixth Princess, our subordinates are in charge of Prince Gui Yi. Failure to obey his orders is disobedience to military orders! Prince Yi can kill us on behalf of the Emperor!"
"I say it again, if you can't bear the pain, just go back the way you came! If you want to stay, you must obey King Yi's orders!"
"Set off!"
Qin Shan stopped talking nonsense with Xiao Tong, shouted loudly, and the guards followed Qin Shan and ran forward.
Xiao Tong was so angry that he trembled all over and went back the way he came? How can it be!
This must be Xiao Lintian's method to drive him away. How could she let him get his wish?
"Walk!"
Xiao Tong himself also brought a team of guards.
Wu Wei, the captain of the bodyguard, was only eighteen years old, tall and thin. He was Zhao Zhenzhen's distant cousin. He had no knowledge and skills, but he was good at fighting.
When Wu Wei defected to Zhao Zhenzhen, he just wanted to get a military position.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenzhen was so resourceful that he was assigned to the Royal Forest Army as a bodyguard, and he was also recommended to the Sixth Princess as the chief of the bodyguard.
Wu Wei saw that his position was getting higher and higher, and his heart became bigger.
The sixth princess is about the same age as him. Wouldn't it be more glorious if he captured the heart of the sixth princess and became her consort?
Therefore, this time Wu Wei not only shouldered the task entrusted by Zhao Zhenzhen, but also looked for opportunities to get rid of King Yi and his wife.
He also has a selfish motive, which is to capture the heart of the Sixth Princess.
Wu Wei knew that the Sixth Princess liked Qin Shan, but Wu Wei had confidence in him. How could a rough guy like Qin Shan be his opponent?
Seeing that Qin Shan was not at all sympathetic to the Sixth Princess's hard work, Wu Wei took the opportunity to step forward and express his sympathy.
"Sixth Princess, don't be in a hurry when you are on your way. We will definitely catch up with King Yi!"
"Just come down for a while and stretch your hands and feet. It won't be too uncomfortable to ride in the carriage again!"
