Ling Ba calmly looked at the group of soldiers in front of him.
Because he and Qin Susu had gone ahead, they did not have any extra money on them.
Qin Susu, that foodie, had only traversed half the mountains when their provisions were already almost gone.
What's even more infuriating is that after Qin Susu finished drinking the water herself, she actually snatched his water pouch.
He had no water to drink, and now he was both hungry and thirsty.
To put it bluntly, it's all their fault for not having enough money to buy more dry food.
Wait until he calms down,
He hadn't eaten much for a day and a night and was too weak to fight against the Northern Qi soldiers in front of him.
After he had eaten and drunk his fill, those soldiers, who numbered only about a dozen, were not even enough to fill his teeth.
But now... looking at the increasing number of Northern Qi figures, he thought it was truly worrying.
If Ling Qi saw him in this disheveled state, he would probably laugh at him.
Ling Ba looked bitter. Qin Susu leaned against a boulder at the foot of the mountain. When she saw the young general approach, she said weakly, "Sir, please have some food."
Her voice, weak, carried a hint of coquettishness.
The young general's heart itched with excitement.
The young man's blatantly lewd grin filled Ling Ba with disgust.
Ling Ba glanced at Qin Susu out of the corner of his eye. He didn't know why the general would assign such a fool to protect Xiao Yan.
Aside from her slightly better martial arts skills, she had absolutely no other advantages.
The young man took a good look at Qin Susu. This woman was much more beautiful than the women from before.
Judging from the disheveled state of the two people in front of me, they don't seem to be spies.
Spies are not that weak.
"Food is no problem, but young lady, you must first tell me where you came from and what your purpose is in coming to this border region?"
Ling Ba remained leaning against the cliff face, silent.
He was worried about Xiaoyan and Ling Qi.
He guessed that the two men should have reached the dividing line between Dongjin and Northern Qi by now.
If they, like the two of them, are traversing mountains and valleys, then we must be extremely careful and vigilant.
Ideally, it would be late at night, when the soldiers are changing shifts, to descend the mountain, which would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
As he looked up, he suddenly spotted two faint figures behind the distant bushes, and his heart skipped a beat.
He's overthinking it...
In his elation, he suddenly looked embarrassed and lowered his head.
How embarrassing!
"Look at us, what purpose could we possibly have? We are subjects of Northern Qi." Qin Susu gasped, then said to the young general:
“My father is ill. My cousin and I were planning to go to the mountainside to collect herbs, but little did we know that this was a border fortress, a forbidden area.”
Ling Ba closed his eyes briefly, thinking to himself, "Who's your cousin?"
He was so silent that the young man suspected he couldn't speak and was mute.
Both are a man and a woman, both searching for medicine? What an eventful day.
However, if there are women to enjoy, why not?
The young general shifted his eyes slightly, looking at Ling Ba.
He thought to himself, "He's really not a man."
Just now, even the Fourth Prince was willing to stand up for his maid, but this man only knew how to close his eyes and hide. He's not even as brave as his cousin.
He glanced around and said coldly, "Take him back!"
Just now, he was feeling quite depressed because of the matter concerning the 'Fourth Prince'.
Now, he wants to take this young lady back with him to relieve his boredom.
If he doesn't find a way to relieve his boredom, he'll go to the countryside and forcibly abduct women.
"Wait!" Qin Susu mustered all her strength and stood up.
