Chapter 41: She must not be allowed to provoke the bandits
Shengzhou official road.
"Guard Qin, how long will it take us to reach Jizhou?"
Jiang Ruo was lying on the carriage window, bored, looking at the scenery along the way with a gloomy expression.
Qin Zhen pursed his cracked lips, his voice slightly hoarse, "Madam Xiao, we have just entered Shengzhou. It will take more than ten days to reach Jizhou."
Jiang Ruo was very upset and complained in his heart: There are still more than ten days?
Alas, she had had enough of riding in this carriage.
"Is there a shortcut?" Jiang Ruo looked at Qin Zhen, who was in a bad mood.
The sooner you can arrive, the better.
So that they don’t suffer.
These people always like to get stuck in a rut. They won’t even ride in a carriage even if you lend them one. I don’t know what they’re being stubborn about!
As soon as these words came out, a trace of guilt flashed in Qin Zhen's eyes, and he winked at several of his companions.
Of course there is a shortcut.
But he doesn't want to leave!
There are bandits everywhere on that road. As long as you dare to walk on it, they will come out to rob you.
This ancestor must be eager to meet bandits, and then... pick on their lair!
No, no, we must not let her provoke the bandits.
This woman is so energetic and loves to stir up trouble.
Having just experienced a thrilling assassination the night before, they still haven't recovered!
Woohoo... They just want to send them to Jizhou safely.
Why is it so difficult!
Qin Zhen felt extremely aggrieved at this moment, and was simply unable to cry.
They are probably the most aggrieved escorts, oh no, escort officials in the Dayan Dynasty.
"Madam Xiao, there is no shortcut." Qin Zhen avoided looking at her and spoke with confidence.
Taking the official road is longer, but safer!
Jiang Ruo saw through Qin Zhen's guilty conscience and asked loudly, "Oh, is that true?"
Qin Zhen's heart hardened, and he answered decisively, "It's true."
Anyway, he won't tell the truth even if you kill him.
An Er, who was in the carriage behind, heard this, looked at the fork in the road ahead, and scratched his head.
There seems to be a shortcut here...
However, there is a mountain stronghold along the way that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is a notorious gathering place for bandits.
The princess is chivalrous and her favorite thing to do is... to eliminate harm for the people.
The secret guard thought in distress: Oh, should I tell the princess?
If I don't tell her, uh... I'll feel a little guilty.
Hey, it’s because I’m such a popular guy in front of my master!
It is my duty to share my master's worries and relieve his boredom.
After much deliberation, An Er decided to show his kindness.
"Master, I know a shortcut!" An Er ran from the carriage to Jiang Ruo with a serious expression.
Qin Zhen and others: "......"
Why do I have a bad feeling!
This kid is the most adept at currying credit among this group of people, following his master everywhere along the way.
Well, he wouldn't be trying to win credit by sending his master to a bandit's den for fun...
Oh, God! Send a thunderbolt to knock them unconscious!
It’s bad enough that the master is crazy, but why is her dog servant also so crazy?
Jiang Ruo glanced at Qin Zhen and the others with a playful look, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
Alas, you bunch of bastards, you almost have the word "guilty" written on your faces.
"An Zheng, it would be best if we could take a shortcut. That way, we can reach Jizhou earlier." Jiang Ruo said this with an extremely serious expression.
An Er quietly observed Jiang Ruo's expression and said ambiguously, "Master, as far as I know, there seems to be a group of dreaded bandits along that shortcut..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo pretended to be frightened and said, "What? There are bandits?" There was a strong excitement and joy in her voice.
So that’s the reason!
It seems that the assassination attempt the night before scared them.
Xiao Chengjin, who was lying on the side, was extremely angry.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his fingers curled slightly under his sleeves.
We can’t keep this guy An Er anymore.
Always encourages Ruo Ruo to do dangerous things.
An Er suddenly felt a vague murderous aura surrounding him...
He shuddered subconsciously, uh... there was a familiar illusion.
Oh no! It's the master's... murderous aura.
Qin Zhen and the others looked at Jiang Ruo's "fearful" expression, and their tense emotions quietly relaxed.
He secretly said with joy: "How is it? Are you scared?"
I don't think you dare to provoke those bandits!
The few people's joy lasted only three seconds.
Jiang Ruo's next words were like a bolt from the blue to them, and they subconsciously stopped.
"I haven't seen bandits yet. What do they look like?" Jiang Ruo's eyes lit up and she rubbed her hands secretly.
The highlight moment of eliminating harm for the people has come.
An Er straightened his back, throwing away the murderous aura he had just felt. He said proudly, "Master, I passed by this place once before while on a mission. This time... I will go ahead and explore the way."
Jiang Ruo nodded with satisfaction.
This guy An Er has performed well and has a bright future...
"Okay, let's go and meet those bandits tonight and restore peace to the people of Shengzhou."
"Guard Qin, the sun is about to set. Let's find a safe place up ahead to rest for the night and continue our journey tomorrow!"
After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, he lay down in the carriage, crossed his legs and hummed a little tune.
Qin Zhen and his companions looked hopeless and thought bitterly in their hearts: Go back to the capital?
Whether I can reach Jizhou alive is still a question!
Steward Lin and several other secret guards glared at An Er fiercely: Boy, you have been a little arrogant lately!
Wait until the master wakes up, then go back to the Dark Guard Camp for retraining!
Xiao Chengjin listened to the cheerful little tune and moved his fingers with all his strength.
Ruo Ruo, don't listen to that bastard An Er.
Jiang Ruo's hand was right next to his, and after noticing the slight touch, his brain quickly started working...
What was that just now... Could it be that Xiao Chengjin is about to wake up?
Jiang Ruo covered her mouth in surprise and jumped up.
"Xiao Chengjin, can you hear me?" Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin and asked tentatively in a low voice.
At this moment, Xiao Chengjin's thoughts were surging.
Ruo Ruo once said that she would divorce him when he woke up.
But he didn't want to divorce.
Therefore, he couldn't let Ruoruo know that he was conscious.
Jiang Ruo's eyes were sore from staring so hard.
No response?
Could it be that it was just her illusion?
Uh, it must be the bumpy ride of the carriage that caused his hand to shake.
Alas, it was all for nothing!
Jiang Ruo pinched Xiao Chengjin's cheek and said angrily, "Can't you be more ambitious?"
"We've been bullied by the dog emperor like this, get up and fight back!"
"Pull the dog emperor off the throne and rub him hard on the ground."
.......
On a small hill not far away.
Several furtive men in black looked at the carriages traveling on the official road with shining eyes.
Haha...I've been very lucky lately.
Another big fat sheep has arrived.
