Southern Barbarian Camp.
"Make the mat softer...wrap these pastries and her favorite milk tea..."
Chu Yeli personally gave instructions to his subordinates and did everything himself.
Not far away.
Tuoba Mingyue stood there, she was ready to go, but her personal maid Xiangyue frowned and said:
"Princess, you have liked His Highness Dong Ling for so many years, but he has never set his eyes on you."
She felt deeply dissatisfied with this.
Now, he paid so much attention to an outsider that he paid far more attention to the princess.
But what about the princess?
As soon as they heard the news that he had arrived at the military camp, they rode fast horses and rushed over from the royal capital day and night.
Tuoba Mingyue said calmly:
"If all the affection in the world could be responded to; if every love could be a two-way journey, then there wouldn't be so many suicides, unhappy couples, and unhappy relationships in this world."
"Princess……"
"Go get ready. We'll be leaving in a quarter of an hour."
Xiang Yue was unwilling to accept this.
How could the princess say such a thing?
She is the most noble princess of Nanman!
Whatever kind of man she wants, she only needs to give an order and she will get him; she was born to enjoy this world, so why should she put herself in a difficult position?
Xiangyue felt unfair for the princess.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Xiaojiu, be careful where you step." Chu Yeli supported Chu Li.
"Where's Qin Muyu?"
"He took another carriage."
"I want to take a ride with him."
"..."
Xiang Yue came over and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Young Master Chu, our team is simple this time. There are only two carriages, one for the prisoners, and one for you, the princess, and His Highness Dong Ling."
Chu Li said, "If I can't stay with him and ensure his safety, I will be restless."
Xiang Yue sneered secretly.
It's really unreasonable.
His Highness Dong Ling is not a patient person.
"Okay, whatever you say." Chu Yeli said helplessly.
Xiang Yue: “?”
She looked on in disbelief as Chu Yeli helped Chu Li to another carriage and sat with the captive Qin Muyu, while her noble eldest princess was left behind and sat in a carriage alone!
Crazy!
How could His Highness Dong Ling do this?
"General Qin is a prisoner. Your Highness should not ride in the same car with him!"
"As far as I know, we in the Great Chu never seem to abuse prisoners." Chu Li turned his head to look at Xiang Yue as he got on the carriage.
As women, there are certain scents between women that only women can smell.
The maid didn't like her.
very good.
When stepping on the horse stool, Chu Li accidentally sprained his ankle, "Ah..."
"Xiaojiu, be careful!"
Chu Yeli quickly grabbed her waist.
Chu Li was so scared that she hugged his neck, still frightened: "Fifth brother is still the best, with Fifth brother around, I feel relieved."
"Fifth brother, I have never been to the Southern Barbarian Capital. I don't know what that place is and I am a little scared. How about we, along with Qin Muyu, ride in the same carriage?"
Chu Yeli's eyes lit up.
Is Xiaojiu inviting him?
This was the first time she took the initiative since leaving the Great Chu Palace.
Just a small request though.
"good."
Xiang Yue stared: "Your Highness, what about the eldest princess?"
"The princess is of noble status and has a pure and holy reputation. I shouldn't be alone with her and ruin her reputation." After Chu Yeli said this, he hugged Chu Li and got into the carriage.
Chu Li hugged his neck and looked at Xiang Yue.
The corners of the eyes are slightly upturned.
Xiang Yue saw this and was furious.
Damn it!
hateful!
"Princess, they rode in the same carriage with the prisoners and left you alone!" Xiangyue went to the carriage in front to report, angrily.
When Tuoba Mingyue found out, he just smiled casually:
"knew."
"Princess!"
How could the princess not be angry?
Why do you always look so tolerant and generous?
That young Master Chu clearly did it on purpose!
No good intention!
Soon, the team set off.
Twenty first-rate fighters escorted the two carriages in the middle to the royal capital.
The journey was harmonious.
"Muyu, are you hungry?"
"Muyu, are you thirsty?"
"Muyu..."
"I'm fine, Ahri."
There were three people sitting in the carriage, so the space was relatively spacious. However, because two of them were sitting close to each other, Chu Yeli, who was sitting next to them, seemed very cramped.
It seems like he shouldn't be here?
In such a wide carriage, couldn't the two of them just sit there comfortably? Why did they have to huddle in a corner, as if they were "us" and he was alone.
"Muyu, eat some beef jerky to fill your stomach."
Chu Li handed the packed food to Qin Muyu.
Chu Yeli opened his mouth: "Xiao Jiu..."
He packed it specially for her.
However, as soon as Qin Muyu's hand reached for the beef jerky, it fell limply to the ground.
Chu Li's eyes were slightly annoyed, "Untie his cartilage powder!"
"It wasn't me, Xiaojiu."
"You can definitely solve it!" Chu Li looked at Chu Yeli, "He was poisoned by the cartilage powder. He doesn't even have the strength to pick up beef jerky, let alone a sword. He won't pose any threat to you at all."
"Even if he removes the cartilage powder, he can't escape from the surrounding Nanman with his own strength. Why do you need to humiliate him like this!"
Chu Yeli held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, don't worry."
Gentle coaxing:
"We didn't bring a military doctor with us this time. When we arrive in the capital, we can find a private clinic to remove the cartilage powder for him, okay?"
Chu Li was half-believing and half-doubting:
"really?"
"When have I ever lied to you? Don't be angry, have a cup of milk tea to calm your nerves."
"Muyu, you love sweets the most, try this milk tea...ah, your hands are weak? I'll feed you."
"Is it sweet? Does it taste good?"
"It tastes good, Ahri. I suddenly remembered when we were kids, we skipped classes and secretly dug out beehives. Your eyes were swollen from the bee stings, and I got a bump on my head. The honey back then was this sweet!"
Chu Yeli: “???”
Why don't you turn around and see if there is another person in the carriage?
Clench your palms.
Hold the table top tightly.
Push off the ground with both feet.
Purse your thin lips.
The squinting eyes could almost cut a young boy apart alive, but the young boy did not look away and chatted happily with Chu Li, and the two of them could talk about the same topics.
Xiang Yue followed the team and kept hearing the laughter in the carriage, secretly clenching her fingertips.
Is the human heart made of stone?
Over the years, the princess has been devoted to His Highness Dong Ling and has never forced anything. How could His Highness Dong Ling treat the princess like this?
In the past, she always thought that His Highness Dong Ling was cold and aloof.
She was wrong.
In front of Young Master Chu, His Highness Dong Ling revealed a side of him that they had never seen before.
There is no harm without comparison.
Now, with the comparison, Xiangyue felt even more unfair for the princess.
Finally, she couldn't help but speak:
"Your Highness Dong Ling."
"A few days ago, the princess heard about your arrival at the military camp and rode a fast horse for three days and three nights to come here. Her thigh was rubbed by the saddle. I don't know if her injury has healed."
He spoke seemingly unintentionally, but in fact, he just wanted Chu Ye to leave and see Tuoba Mingyue.
"Is the princess injured?"
Chu Li opened the curtain and looked at Xiang Yue who was full of resentment.
She held Chu Yeli's arm affectionately, "Fifth brother, you don't know any medical skills, and the injury is in such a sensitive place as your thigh. As a foreign man, how can you get close to the princess? Fifth brother, please stay with me!"
Chu Yeli looked at the little hand in his elbow and felt a little flattered, as if a very arrogant cat that only bites you every day suddenly becomes docile and rubs against your trouser leg.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to move.
I’m afraid it’s just a dream.
"Xiao Jiu is right. I don't know any medical skills, so I can't help you much. When we get to the next town, I'll find a doctor to see the princess."
Lower the curtains.
"Fifth brother is the best."
Chu Li's clinging whisper penetrated the curtains and reached Xiang Yue's ears.
There were two carriages. The one at the back was filled with laughter and joy, but the one at the front was occupied by only Tuoba Mingyue, who was quiet and lonely.
Xiangyue was almost furious.
Is His Highness Dong Ling blind?
This young Master Chu clearly did this on purpose!
This was the pattern of their interactions for the next four days. Chu Li took advantage of his foot injury, and Qin Muyu was poisoned by cartilage powder, so the two of them could not do without Chu Yeli's "care".
Whether eating, traveling, or anything else, Chu Li always stuck to Chu Yeli and didn't give Tuoba Mingyue and Chu Yeli any chance to be alone.
Tuoba Mingyue was calm and composed, without showing any sign of anger.
But Xiangyue was so angry that she felt like a bloated balloon that was about to explode.
Finally, on the sixth day, we arrived at the royal capital!
Because the trip was to be carried out in secret on light horses, one could not enter the palace directly, and had to be informed by special guards and summoned by the king.
Before that, they temporarily stayed in an inn.
Now, while everyone was moving their luggage, Xiang Yue finally found an opportunity to be alone:
"Your Highness Dong Ling, when the princess went upstairs just now, her legs were shaking. It seems that the scratches on her legs have become more serious. When she meets the king tomorrow morning, he will be heartbroken if he sees her."
Chu Yeli heard the voice and paused:
"Four days ago, when we arrived in a small town, she didn't go to find a doctor?"
"Your Highness Dong Ling, you forgot that the princess was concerned that you were not used to the southern barbarian diet, so she went to the kitchen to cook for you herself. How could she have the time to look for a doctor?"
Chu Yeli was slightly stunned.
In the yard.
Chu Li and Qin Muyu were standing next to each other, one was exhausted and the other was lame and disabled, they looked really miserable.
The two of them whispered:
"This princess likes him."
"I see."
"She is a passionate person, but unfortunately Fifth Brother doesn't like her. Fifth Brother has let her down."
"Ahri, do you believe in love that grows over time, or love at first sight?"
"I...shh! They're coming."
Chu Li stood up straight and looked at Chu Yeli walking towards him:
"Xiaojiu, I'm going to go see the princess first. We'll meet in the hall in a quarter of an hour. After dinner, I'll take you around the capital."
"Okay, Fifth Brother."
"Someone, unload the luggage, organize everything, and escort them to the front hall."
"yes!"
The eight attendants received the order, and Chu Yeli went upstairs first.
Xiang Yue did not leave.
There were some words and some anger that she had been holding in her stomach for a long time. If she didn't spit them out, she would suffocate to death.
"You four, carry the luggage upstairs."
"yes."
She ordered, "And you two, take the horses to the stables to feed them, and you two, go to the palace to report the news."
this……
In this case, if they all leave, who will look after the prisoners of war and young Master Chu?
"Miss Xiangyue, I'm afraid we'll have to wait and see..."
"With me here, one of them is poisoned by cartilage powder, and the other is lame, can they still fly into the sky?"
"Yes, yes, we'll go right away."
Miss Xiang Yue is the eldest princess's trusted maid. Her words carry weight and are not someone that servants like them can afford to offend.
Soon, everyone was sent away.
Xiang Yue walked towards Chu Li with cold eyes.
At that time, Chu Li was leaning on Qin Muyu, and the two of them looked quite miserable as "old, weak, sick and disabled". However, Xiang Yue was a man who knew martial arts and had a whip tied around his waist.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Chu Li looked a little frightened and took several steps back.
Xiang Yue slowly took off the black whip from her waist, "The princess told me that you are a woman."
"Yes, I am a woman."
"I wonder if His Highness Dong Ling would still like your scheming, pretentious and mean appearance if I whip you in the face and ruin your appearance!"
She had had enough of this journey.
fed up!
Why did this bitch win the favor of His Highness Dong Ling, while the eldest princess, despite her noble status, could only swallow her anger?
Chu Li retreated in panic:
"You...you misunderstood me. I have no such thoughts about my fifth brother, and I will not compete with the eldest princess for him..."
"Yeah?"
Xiang Yue grabbed her collar fiercely.
"Didn't you use enough dirty tricks along the way? Do you think I'm blind?"
"Let me go!"
"Young Master Chu, I'm warning you, this is the Southern Barbarians, our territory! Put away your hypocritical and pretentious face, otherwise, I will definitely make you... ugh!"
There was a sudden pain at the back of my head, as if a watermelon had been cracked open.
Xiang Yue felt a blackness in front of his eyes, the world was spinning, and he staggered and turned half of his body, only to see Qin Muyu waving a big wooden stick.
"you……"
Wasn’t he poisoned by the cartilage powder?
Doesn't he even have the strength to hold the cup?
Qin Muyu sneered and said, "I am a martial artist with internal strength. Even if I am hit by the cartilage powder, it is still more than enough to knock you out!"
Is he weak and powerless?
No.
He was pretending.
Bang——
Another stick came down, knocking Xiang Yue unconscious to the ground.
Chu Li threw away the stick and patted the residue on his palm. The way he moved his legs, how could he be a cripple?
Lame leg?
She was pretending.
Her foot healed long ago.
Thanks to Xiang Yue's flaw, he was able to send everyone away, giving them the opportunity to escape, and their disguise over the past few days did not go to waste.
"Xiang Yue, I'm sorry, I offended you. The princess is a good person, and I won't compete with her for Chu Yeli, but I need to leave. You lie here for a while, and someone will come to rescue you soon."
"Ahri, there's no one around right now, let's go!"
"Walk!"
Yo-yo for two.
In the upstairs wing.
Chu Yeliguan asked about Tuoba Mingyue's injuries, but Tuoba Mingyue thought that the abrasions on the thigh were minor matters, caused by riding a horse, and were not serious injuries.
She has a strong character, is upright and aloof, and cannot do things like little girls do, using a little injury to gain sympathy.
Chu Yeli had no idea what emotion was in his heart.
He owed her too much...
Guan asked a few questions, sat for a while, then went downstairs and came to the backyard, but saw Xiang Yue lying on the ground alone. The guards were nowhere to be seen, and more importantly, Chu Li was missing!
Where are the people!
