Chapter 57: In Cao's Camp, but Heart in Han
The shepherdess swung her whip at Lin Qianqian and the two fought.
Only then did everyone realize that this ordinary shepherdess Guan was not ordinary and actually knew martial arts.
Miss Lin was indeed very capable and she noticed the abnormality of the shepherdess at once.
Zhao Xiaoliu: "Lord, should we go forward to help?"
Si Xuan: "No need, with Miss Lin's skills it won't be a problem at all."
The weapon in the shepherdess's hand is a whip.
Lin Qianqian held the sword in her left hand, but the sword was never unsheathed, which showed that she was very confident.
And judging from Lin Qianqian's appearance, it seemed that fighting with the shepherdess was a very fun thing.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoliu was still going on, Cao Qi quickly stopped him, "Brother Xiaoliu, why can't you keep your cool? Look at Hongdou, then look at Ah Da, Miss Lin's men are so calm and steady, you can't even compare to half of them."
Zhao Xiaoliu: Old Seven, do you mean that I am a disgrace to the Marquis?
Aren't you, Cao Qi, ashamed? When you were eating with Miss Lin, you saw that the food was delicious, but you ate like an animal, eating a lot, as if you had been abused by the Marquis before.
More than 2,000 officers and soldiers watched the battle, it was very lively.
Lin Qianqian stood there, looking particularly calm and steady. When the shepherdess swung the whip for the third time, she grabbed the whip and pulled it hard, holding it in her hand.
The whip became more flexible in her hand, and when it was swung out, it bound the shepherdess like a snake.
Zhao Xiaoliu couldn't help but clap his hands and shouted "Good——"
Lin Qianqian turned around and called Zhao Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, this man is a spy. Come over here and tie him up, then ask the Marquis how to deal with him."
Miss Lin called me, not you. Zhao Xiaoliu glared at Cao Qi proudly and ran forward with his tail wagging.
Cao Qi: The shepherdess turned out to be a spy. Are the spies so professional nowadays? In order to pretend to herd sheep, she actually brought dozens of sheep.
Then we can eat mutton tonight.
Cao Qi was very unhappy when he saw Zhao Xiaoliu's arrogant look, "My Lord, Sixth Brother's heart has already changed."
Si Xuan: "What about you?"
Cao Qi was stunned by the question. He recalled the days when he was sent by Hou to protect Miss Lin. Those were the good days when he killed bandits and was welcomed by the people. That feeling was the best he had ever felt.
When fighting the bandits, Zhu Dali, who was born with supernatural powers, was controlled by Miss Lin in an instant, and then he just had to follow behind and pick up the heads.
Miss Lin also secretly took some of the bandits' stolen goods and shared them with them, saying that it would be a waste if she didn't take it. An upright marquis would never do such a thing.
When Miss Lin was distributing her property, she said that everyone who followed her must have enough money to marry.
Listen, these words are so beautiful.
Cao Qi is 26 years old and is already considered a bachelor. He has been looking forward to getting married.
In short, once you follow a master like Miss Lin, you'll be like possessed and there's no turning back.
If such a person really stayed at the border to fight, he might become a god of war who could compete with the Marquis in the future.
Furthermore, Miss Lin also said that if you want to capture the hearts of your subordinates, you have to capture their stomachs.
So when he was with Miss Lin, the food he ate every day was always very memorable.
Miss Lin always puts some medicinal herbs into the food when cooking, saying they are spices. The food with spices is delicious and tastes even better than the Juxianlou in the capital.
If Miss Lin opened a restaurant in the capital, it would definitely be bustling with business.
If he had to choose, he would certainly like to eat such delicious food every day.
But, he is not a betrayer.
"My Lord, I am yours in life and yours in death."
Si Xuan kicked Cao Qi and said, "Get lost! I see that you are in Cao's camp but your heart is with Han. When we arrived in Beiyue City, you and Zhao Xiaoliu still followed to protect Miss Lin."
"Yes, sir."
Cao Qi was very happy, but he didn't dare to show it too much.
The convoy continued on its way as if the incident with the shepherdess had never happened.
Lin Qianqian took the initiative to mention: "My Lord, that shepherdess is a spy from the Northern Barbarians, and her target is military rations."
Champion Marquis: "Well, she is a stubborn person. She has committed suicide by taking poison. I will ask my men to be extra careful from now on."
Lin Qianqian was a little puzzled: I said the shepherdess was a spy from the northern barbarians, and you didn’t doubt what I said at all?
At least ask me a few questions.
There are many abnormal things in this world.
Some people are born with photographic memories, some are born with the ability to see ghosts, and some, like Zhu Dali, are born with supernatural powers.
Lin Qianqian gained the ability to read minds after a serious illness at the age of 9.
However, her mind-reading ability is conditional. She must have physical contact to see into the other person's mind, and it is very mentally taxing.
She just used her mind-reading skills to find out what the shepherdess was thinking.
This man was indeed a spy for the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians' goal was very clear, which was to destroy the military rations and cut off the supplies of the soldiers at the border.
There are 100,000 soldiers guarding Beiyue Pass, but the spies of the northern barbarians can freely penetrate into Yecheng behind Beiyue Pass. It seems that Beiyue Pass is not reliable.
"My Lord, do you have a bad feeling? I think there might be danger today?"
Si Xuan responded, "Today may not be peaceful. Before you take action to subdue the shepherdess, I also want to take action."
Mind reading is very mentally taxing. Lin Qianqian had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and the cold wind made her feel chilled.
Si Xuan was careful and noticed these things in time. He took off his dark gray cloak and put it on Lin Qianqian.
"Miss Lin, please go to the carriage and take a rest. Don't worry, I will have people on high alert."
Lin Qianqian didn't hesitate and got into the carriage directly.
But she still felt uneasy.
Although the shepherdess was exposed by her, there might be spies among those people who behaved normally.
Maybe the northern barbarians have already grasped the whereabouts of the food and are preparing to take action.
In the afternoon, large flakes of snow suddenly fell without warning, and in half an incense stick of time, the ground was covered with white snow.
Lin Qianqian's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
If there is any danger, the girls in the carriage will probably be in trouble.
"Hongdou, we passed through Yecheng at noon. You and Ada escort the girls in the carriage back to Yecheng to spend the night first."
"Yes, girl." Hongdou always obeys 100%, never refutes, and never asks why.
Although those girls were worried about the captain, the first thing they learned from following him during these days was to obey military orders, and to obey them absolutely.
Cao Qi: "Sixth brother, you should learn from Hongdou. Hongdou only follows orders strictly and never talks nonsense like you."
Zhao Xiaoliu: "You, Cao Qi, are not much better."
Zhao Xiaoliu rolled a small snowball and threw it at Cao Qi, which caused Cao Qi to curse and ease the tense atmosphere.
People can take a horse-drawn carriage to get back to Yecheng faster, but the food and fodder carts move slowly, so even if they rush back now, it is too late.
Besides, Lin Qianqian only had a hunch and couldn't be 100% sure that something would go wrong. If her prediction was wrong, it would delay the transportation of food and fodder.
Anyway, Si Xuan is a smart man and should have his own ideas.
I hope she is overthinking it. I hope we won't encounter the enemy today. I hope the military rations can be transported to Beiyue Pass smoothly.
Lin Qianqian looked at Si Xuan. The guy had a handsome face and was very pleasing to the eye standing in the white snow.
