Chapter 17 Qin Leads the Way
Leader Qin bit the dry, burnt grilled fish in his hand and said unhappily, "If you're curious, go over and take a look. See how they cook it, and cook it for me later."
The officer curled his lips and said, "I dare not go. That female devil is too powerful."
"If you don't dare to go, then shut up. A young lady knows how to catch fish in the pond and even gave me two."
He pointed at a few officers and said, "You big, strong men are not even as good as a young lady. And you are still whining here. What are you whining about? Go and eat your steamed buns quickly. After you finish eating, we will set off quickly."
The officers were so ashamed after being scolded by their leader Qin that they resigned themselves to their fate and went to eat their steamed buns.
In fact, it was not that they were unwilling to catch fish, but that they had to keep an eye on the prisoners. If one of them escaped, they would be in trouble.
It's not that they can't escape punishment, but that they don't have the chance to eat. These are all serious criminals of the court, and if any one of them escapes, they will lose their heads.
Seeing that they had all dispersed, Leader Qin, while chewing on the grilled fish, slowly came to where Su Yue and the others were cooking fish. He stopped ten steps away and tried hard to smell the fragrance.
This smells so damn good. Is it cooked with holy water? It smells so good.
Why doesn’t the fish in his hand smell good?
"Leader Qin, you must have had enough of standing there and smelling it. I'll give you a bowl later." Su Yue said to Leader Qin with amusement.
Leader Qin smiled awkwardly, scratched his head sheepishly, walked over reluctantly, and sat next to Su Qiwen.
He is not like Leader Zhang, who always wants to go against the female devil in everything and turn the tables.
He is asking for trouble.
He wouldn't do that. As the saying goes, he who knows practical matters is a hero. He is very practical.
It’s not that he is a coward, but they have no idea why the female devil is giving them a headache.
It's very weird, and it makes anyone who wants to have a headache have a headache.
The unconscious officer became really stupid after waking up, so it will not only give you a headache but also make you stupid.
What else can a fool do? He can't even go back to farm. He can only sit and wait for death.
You said she poisoned someone, but the female devil was only wearing prison uniform and had no place to hide the poison.
So this female devil is not a simple person, they have no choice but to please her and ensure that they can reach their destination smoothly, and everything will be fine.
He actually came here for another matter, which was much more important than the pot of fish soup.
Just now, the officers from Leader Zhang's side came over and said that they were going to cross Hutouling today. This matter had been instructed by their superiors, requiring him to take the prisoners across Hutouling.
He was worried about this. If he really took these people to Hutouling, the female devil would not let them go if anyone lost a hair.
If you don't take the official route, you won't be able to report to your superiors.
He was caught in a dilemma, as if he was being roasted on the fire. If the fire got bigger, he would be in trouble.
This was not the first time that Leader Qin had escorted a prisoner. Really, he had never felt as aggrieved as this time.
Not to mention that the officer was just being ordered around, if anything went wrong with the prisoner, he was afraid he would lose his life, and the female devil would definitely leave him dead in the wilderness.
In the past, it would be fine for them even if all the prisoners died, and they would still get many benefits along the way.
Think about it, the officers are all old men, and it will take them at least a year or two to finish the task. Most of the women among the prisoners are daughters of officials and wives, and they are all very beautiful. How can the officers resist?
In order to make life easier during exile, the prisoners didn't care whether these men smelled smelly or not. They just spread their legs and could save their lives.
As for them, if these prisoners lost even a strand of hair, the female devil would take their lives.
Oh, why are they so difficult?
"Miss Su, I want to discuss something with you."
Leader Qin thought for a long time and decided that he should talk to the female devil first. If something really happened, the female devil probably wouldn't make things difficult for him because he had told her everything in advance.
Leader Qin was very nervous and looked at Su Yue anxiously.
Su Qiwen listened to what Leader Qin said. Although he had known about this for a long time, he still looked at Su Yue to see how his sister would deal with it.
Even the old lady and the other two looked at them curiously. They just thought it was strange that Leader Qin was so cautious in front of Su Yue.
There was a hint of jealousy in Su He's eyes, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: this elder sister wouldn't use her beauty to capture Leader Qin, right?
Otherwise, why would Qin, a tall man, treat the eldest sister like this?
At this moment, Murong Li's alluring face flashed through her mind. If her elder sister...
If Murong Li knew about this, would he be disgusted with his elder sister? If she took the opportunity to appease him and made him fall in love with her, would she have a chance to marry him?
Thinking about living with the beautiful Murong Li in the future, Su He's face flushed unconsciously.
She reached out to touch her hot face, then quickly lowered her head, thinking in her mind that she would find an opportunity to talk to Murong Li later.
Sister, don’t blame her. It’s you who is not faithful to your husband. Su He’s eyes were fierce.
She was a concubine's daughter, and an exiled concubine at that. It was easy to imagine what kind of person she would marry in the future.
Murong Li was demoted, but he was still the emperor's son and he was so handsome.
Su Yue didn't know what Su He was thinking. She raised her eyebrows and asked Leader Qin, "Is there anything you need to discuss with me?"
"Hehe, then I won't be polite. Mr. Su and Miss Su, please move aside and talk."
Leader Qin made a gesture of invitation.
The brother and sister looked at each other and followed. The three of them sat down, and then the leader Qin said, "Miss Su, please don't blame me for being abrupt. This is what happened. In order to hurry, we have to take Hutouling, but Hutouling is not easy to walk on. I want to see what you mean. If you don't want to take Hutouling, we can take the official road. But if we do this, we may be delayed in reaching our destination. It's okay for you, but it's miserable for us. We won't complete our mission. Not only will we have wasted this trip, but we may also get punished.
"Miss, what do you see?"
After Qin Lingtou finished speaking, he looked at Su Yue pitifully.
Su Yue knew very well what Leader Qin meant. It must be someone above them who told them to go through Hutouling.
She glanced at the pitiful leader Qin. This man was smart. He knew to come and talk to her. Unlike leader Zhang, who only cared about eating and not being beaten, he also wanted to do something in Hutouling.
Su Yue didn't even frown as she nodded and said, "Okay, but you must ensure the safety of all of us. If anything happens to anyone, you will be the one to pay for it."
"Yes, yes, it is our duty to protect your safety. Don't worry, young lady."
Leader Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He called out to the eldest lady without even mentioning her surname, which showed that he followed Su Yue's lead.
As long as Su Yue agrees, they will try their best to ensure everyone's safety, and believe that Su Yue will be prepared.
