Cookie thought for a moment and felt that Mr. Chu’s suggestion was a good one.
But the girl's face fell instantly. In order to avoid implicating others, he decided to keep quiet.
Chu Yu paused, and seeing that she had a murderous look in her eyes, he knew that she had offended him badly.
He explained the reason calmly, "White is considered beautiful by noble ladies from aristocratic families. Since you are visiting Zhongshan State under the name of the Qinghe Wei family, you need to show your gentle side to lower Yuan Sanlang's guard."
That being said, where can she find powder to put on her face now?
Wei Xiyin said unhappily, "Don't worry, sir. I'm good at acting. Who says weak noble ladies are not allowed to be blackened?"
Dark, dark, dark!
Talking bad things about her all day long!
Wait a minute, when she is done, she will go back and ask the Kang brothers and sisters to research the whitening formula, and she will get her skin white again sooner or later.
Chu Yu glanced at her, turned his back and said nothing.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Mingyuan might have already led his troops to the vicinity of Zhongshan granary and set up an ambush.
They need to act.
Wei Xiyin glared at them both, then turned and left to assemble the team and prepare to set off.
Cookie: “…” It was an unexpected disaster. He didn’t say anything today.
The troops took out the flags they had prepared earlier.
A team of a thousand people walked out of the mountains, made a big circle, and walked onto the official road openly, heading towards Zhongren County.
The two young ladies were protected in the middle.
Wei Xiyin gave her rapier to Qin Shan for safekeeping, and walked with the princess, taking small and arduous steps on the road.
The five attendants around the princess are still there.
Before separation.
Yuan Wu found Xiang Qi and repeatedly told him to protect the princess.
Xiang Qi and the others certainly knew that Zhongshan was no longer the hometown they were familiar with, but a den of wolves and tigers. The five of them felt a great sense of responsibility and stayed by the princess's side all the time.
Chu Yu and Wei Li walked in front to lead the way.
To the boundary marker.
Some troops stepped forward to remove the barricades blocking the road, and the group officially entered the territory of Zhongren County.
The temperature today is not much different from yesterday.
The sun is glaring.
Wei Xiyin stuffed a small curling stone into the princess's hand. The two of them wore sun hats and hurried on their way under the scorching sun. However, the hem of their skirts was too narrow, so they walked too slowly. The heat was unbearable, yet they still had to maintain their noble demeanor.
It's so torturous.
Not to mention Wei Xiyin, even the princess, who had been wearing a short shirt for a while, felt uncomfortable.
After walking for a while, everyone was sweating.
Wei Xiyin couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't bring any rouge or powder with her. Otherwise, if she had listened to Chu Yu and put powder on her face, she would have looked like a clown now.
As soon as the group stepped into the Zhongshan territory and took a few steps, they were quickly discovered by the Zhongshan army patrolling nearby.
"Who is it?!" someone shouted.
The voice was somewhat weak and seemed particularly hollow.
In the distance, an army of a hundred men rushed towards them, sweating profusely, staring at them as if they were facing a great enemy.
Chu Yu changed his usual casual demeanor and said with a good temper, "We are the followers of the Qinghe Wei clan. My young man and young woman are escorting the Princess of Zhongshan home. I hope the soldiers will report this as soon as possible."
The leading centurion was stunned for a moment.
Princess?
Is the princess back?
A path was cleared in the middle of the team, and Princess Zhongshan walked slowly over. The golden cloud pattern on her skirt appeared faintly as she walked, and appeared in the sight of this group of people.
She was flanked by Xiang Qi and other attendants, one of whom shouted, "Don't be rude to your benefactor. The princess has returned, so hurry up and inform His Highness and the Princess."
According to normal circumstances.
At this time, they acted as if they were unaware of the bad news, otherwise Yuan Wu and the others would be exposed.
The group of soldiers finally came to their senses, a trace of panic flashed across their faces, and they stood there in a daze.
They were of humble status and had never been qualified to meet the princess. They could not tell the truth from the false and did not know what to do.
It was the centurion who reacted first. Not daring to look directly at the young lady in front of him, he led the soldiers forward to salute.
"Greetings, Princess!"
The soldiers below hurriedly followed suit and saluted, "Greetings, Princess..."
The centurion's eyes were gloomy, and he quickly ordered several soldiers to return to the city to report.
The princess and the envoy had already...
Who would have thought that the princess would come back alive.
It takes more than two hours to get from the boundary marker to the county town even if you walk quickly.
The temperature was so high that I didn't dare to run at all. If I didn't have any protection, my skin would be sunburned.
Thinking that the princess and others were left behind, the soldiers hurried over and finally arrived at Zhongren County.
The Zhongshan Army stationed at the East City Gate was under one military jurisdiction, which was divided into five camps, with two camps on the left and right sides of the East City Gate. Xing Shi was the captain of the left vanguard camp. In order to give him face, ordinary people would call him "General" when they met him.
In fact, he was called a general of miscellaneous titles.
His official position was not as high as that of Wei Mingyuan, a military officer who was actually appointed by the imperial court.
The status of the commander-in-chief in the princes' country is not high, and in terms of status, it is not as good as the guard battalion of His Highness's personal guard.
Whether it is the Yuanwu army, which was the former guard camp, or the current Yuan Saburo's personal guard, they are all stationed in the palace and are the army with the highest status and treatment in Zhongshan.
Therefore, the hardest and most tiring work is now almost entirely contracted by these camps.
Today, the security outside the city is again the responsibility of the Left Vanguard Battalion.
The rest of the people who were not on duty had already hidden away far away, and no one knew where they went to cool off in the shade.
Apart from the soldiers on the left front, no other figures could be seen outside the city.
Xing Shi and his deputy general Zhang Jian were patrolling outside the city under the scorching sun. From afar, they saw a small group of camp soldiers patrolling the border returning breathlessly.
He thought that another army of monsters had been discovered at the border, his face changed slightly, and he went to meet them in person.
