Chapter 276 Are You So Afraid of Me?
"Stealing credit?" Mo Jinchuan was so angry that he laughed out loud, picked up the military book at hand and was about to hit Qiu Zongping.
This brat is getting bolder and bolder. He dares to say anything.
Seeing that he was angry, Qiu Zongping quickly smiled and hid back, shielding his face with his hands, saying, "Your Highness, let's make a deal first: don't hit people in the face. I'm going to use this face to get a wife."
Seeing his indifferent look, Mo Jinchuan suddenly changed his mind and said with a curl of his lips, "That's a good idea."
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Qiu Zongping put down his hands and suddenly stopped laughing, his face looking bitter.
He was not worried that the prince would really do so, because based on his understanding of him after following him for so many years, he would never do such a despicable thing as stealing the credit.
But there is still a great possibility that I can give him a good beating and at the same time exercise my hands and feet.
To avoid physical pain, Qiu Zongping decisively admitted his mistake and said, "I was just joking, Your Highness, please don't take it seriously."
He took two steps back and continued, "Don't punish a general on the battlefield. This may have been what you said yourself back then."
Because of this sentence, he managed to avoid several beatings by the military, and after the war he barely saved his life by paying with the number of heads he took.
Mo Jinchuan raised his eyebrows, "Are you so afraid of me?"
"How is that possible? Your Highness is overly suspicious." Qiu Zongping flatly denied it.
He stood straight, looking like he was in agreement with what he said.
It seemed like he was really not afraid as he said.
Whether this kind of thing is scary or not, only those who are afraid know it in their hearts.
Mo Jinchuan nodded, his eyes full of admiration, "Okay, you have guts."
Before Qiu Zongping could feel proud of being praised, he heard him command in a deep voice, "Take off your pants."
"What are you taking off?"
Mo Jinchuan's gaze slowly moved downwards.
Realizing he had heard correctly, Qiu Zongping tightened his grip on his belt and forced a smile, "Your Highness, this isn't a good idea, is it?"
Mo Jinchuan expressionless: "Take it off."
Qiu Zongping suddenly felt like crying and tried to struggle again.
Otherwise, if he is asked to take it off, he will look so embarrassed!
"Your Majesty, I am already sixteen years old this year."
"so?"
"Have you ever seen a sixteen-year-old child being stripped of his pants and spanked?"
Just having to say this made Qiu Zongping's face turn red with shame, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into immediately.
Mo Jinchuan laughed and said helplessly, "Your injury is in your lower back. How can you apply medicine without taking off your pants?"
Qiu Zongping finally understood and said nonchalantly, "It's just a flesh wound, not a big deal."
"Stop talking nonsense and take off your clothes."

The group did not dare to breathe even after leaving the territory of Cuiming Mountain. They galloped for nearly twenty miles before they stopped to rest beside a water source.
The mountain roads were muddy and difficult to walk on after the rain, and there was a lot of mud and sand on the official road. After the bumpy ride, everyone was already exhausted.
Being hungry and tired is okay, as long as you force yourself to be strong, you can still hold on, but the only thing you can't do is lack of water.
The water sources on the mountain and nearby were all poisoned, and the group relied on the only remaining pot of water to barely survive this half of the journey.
When they saw the water, they were like hungry wolves seeing their prey, their eyes literally lighting up.
Song Yanxi plucked a leaf and folded it into a funnel shape. After taking some water, she threw a small brown pill into the funnel. After observing it for a moment, she said, "The water is fine."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone impatiently picked up the water and drank it in big gulps.
Cheng Duan took two gulps of stream water, wiped his face and said, "It feels great!"
He looked at Song Yanxi and said in a rough voice: "The princess has saved us again."
"General Cheng, you are too kind."
"You are too modest. If you hadn't thrown a drug into the fire in the cave before leaving, delaying the Liang people, would we have been able to leave so smoothly?"
The soldiers all had eyes and hearts, and could see and think, so they naturally understood how they had survived just now.
When they heard someone say this, they all followed suit.
More than a dozen seven-foot-tall men had tears in their eyes and were grateful to Song Yanxi from the bottom of their hearts.
Thank you for choosing to take the risk and come with them even though she was of noble status and could have stayed safely in the city and waited.
We were also grateful for her keen observation. She discovered Huang Feng's whereabouts early and led them to find General Lin and the medicine, preventing them from searching around in the mountains like headless flies.
Otherwise, their fate would be the same as those twenty brothers who came before them and died in Mingcui Mountain.
The princess saved their lives.
This thank you is what she deserves.
Not to mention a mere word of thanks, as long as the princess ordered them to do so, they would never frown even if they had to go through fire and water.
Listening to their straightforward and sincere words, Song Yanxi couldn't help but smile, and even her usually cold eyes showed a rare hint of tenderness.
Someone couldn't help but say: "The princess looks so beautiful when she smiles."
"You idiot, do you know how to speak? It's obvious that she is a beautiful princess, like a fairy. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful person in my life."
The person who was called an idiot was not angry at all. He laughed and said, "You are right. The princess is a fairy."
Hearing this, the man who originally praised Lin Tingfeng and Song Yanxi as a match made in heaven wanted to say something, but before he could even say the word "General", someone covered his mouth and pulled him aside.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you say such spoiling things when things are going well? Do you have to be happy just to make the princess unhappy?"
"Why are you spoiling the fun? The general and the princess are a perfect match, talented and beautiful."
"What a match!"
He was about to argue when he heard another person scold him, "You really are a fool. You can only look around but not see. Can't you see that the princess doesn't have that kind of feelings for the prince?"
"Stop talking nonsense here. They are a couple. They say they quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. They are just having a quarrel now.
Listen to what you are saying. The princess is not interested in the general, so is she interested in you?"
"You're really stupid, you've never slept in the same bed since we got married. What's with all that talk about the head of the bed and the foot of the bed? That's just nonsense."
"There's such a thing? Who are you listening to?"
“Princess Shihan said it herself. It’s said that the princess also said that the two of them were in name only, saying that they went to war without even finishing their wedding ceremony.
These words have been spreading like wildfire in the army, haven't you heard about them?"
"No, I heard the general calling the princess's name in his dream this morning, and I thought they were in love..."
Lin Tingfeng had never regretted listening to his father and embarking on the path of martial arts as much as he did now.
People who practice martial arts have excellent hearing, and he heard every word of these words clearly.
How he wished he were deaf and blind, so that he wouldn't hear the ridicule of others and wouldn't see Song Yanxi's cold eyes.
When the snow dragon suddenly kicked towards him on the mountain, he watched her sitting on the horse with an expressionless face, neither panicked nor afraid, nor nervous or worried at all.
She clearly did it on purpose.
If he hadn't been so skilled that he rolled to the side in time, even if he wasn't kicked to death by the beast, he would have had several ribs broken.
He is her husband after all, so why does she hate him so much and wish he would die?
After drinking the water, everyone picked some leaves and rolled them up to quench the thirst of the wounded soldiers who had difficulty moving.
Song Yanxi walked a few steps along the river, picked up two of the largest leaves, rolled them together, took some water, held them in both hands, and slowly walked towards a big tree not far away.
And Lin Tingfeng happened to be sitting under the tree.
