Chapter 184 You are ugly, I am obviously the most beautiful girl in the whole family!
"You also know that a great battle is about to break out here. I have already arranged carriages and an escort team. You should return to Beijing early tomorrow morning." Xiao Changheng said.
Yun Qingqing then understood that when he said that she "interpreted his words" at first, he meant that she had already calculated that the war was approaching.
She frowned and rejected it immediately:
"No, I can't leave."
Xiao Changheng was slightly surprised, but more disapproving:
"Wartime is different from normal times. I have to fight the enemy with all my strength and keep an eye on the enemy's deployment. Everything will be in chaos. What if you stay here and are in danger?"
What he was most worried about was that if he couldn't take care of her, she would be in danger.
Yun Qingqing said seriously:
"You have already been ambushed once in the last battle, don't you know that? That evil man is no ordinary soldier. He might be watching you everywhere. Besides me, who else can deal with him?"
"..." Xiao Changheng was speechless for a moment.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Isn't that Miss Zhiluo a mountain ghost? What do you think of her strength?"
Yun Qingqing sighed:
"You think it's dangerous even if I stay, so why is it not dangerous if she stays?"
Xiao Changheng's fingertips were slightly curled, feeling a little guilty.
He knew that he had selfish motives in saying this. Normally, he would never make distinctions based on closeness or distance and put unrelated people in danger.
But only for Yun Qingqing, he didn't want to take any risk.
He had already understood from what happened last night that he was willing to do anything as long as she was safe.
Yun Qingqing looked at his stubborn expression and said carefully:
"You don't have to worry about my safety. The soldiers on this battlefield can't hurt me."
Xiao Changheng frowned and said nothing, but his eyes clearly showed his disapproval.
He knew Qingqing was capable, but she had never experienced war, so how could she understand that the situation would change rapidly and that danger could lurk everywhere.
Even when he had all his limbs intact, he would not dare to guarantee that no one could hurt him on the battlefield.
He couldn't bear to directly refute Yun Qingqing's words, but he wouldn't nod and let her stay just because of her words.
Yun Qingqing probably guessed what he was thinking. She looked at him seriously and said:
"I can prove it to you."
"......?" Xiao Changheng frowned, "How are you going to prove it? You're not going to prove it directly on the battlefield, are you?"
"Of course not." Yun Qingqing said calmly, "Gather all your most capable men tomorrow morning and have them attack together. If they can touch a corner of my clothes, you win, and I will go back obediently. Is that okay?"
She finished in one breath and gave him a small smile.
Xiao Changheng: ...
He was silent for a while, rubbing his eyebrows:
"Are you serious?"
Yun Qingqing smiled and said:
"I'm so sincere. If you don't even agree to this, then I can only follow you secretly when the time comes."
"You don't really think that those people you sent to escort me can trap me?"
Xiao Changheng: ...
He had no doubt that with Yun Qingqing's character, it would not be surprising if she did not agree.
He sighed helplessly and made up his mind.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, but you have to promise me that you will never leave my side on the battlefield. This is my last bottom line." Xiao Changheng said seriously.
"It's a deal."
Yun Qingqing originally planned to follow him closely, so she nodded immediately.
After the two of them agreed, Yun Qingqing urged him to go and rest, and she sat on the small couch to spend the night.
She suddenly remembered what she had heard when she entered the city, and asked casually:
"So the fake prince was brought back from the southern expedition to stabilize the army's morale?"
"You can say that, but that's not entirely true." Xiao Changheng said, "He claimed to the public that I was seriously injured in the battle and was in imminent danger. General Chang and others used this as an excuse to hold a swearing-in ceremony, which made all the soldiers in the city hate the enemy so much that they were eager to win a great victory."
Yun Qingqing couldn't help but laugh:
"Your subordinates are indeed very capable... Hey, what are you doing?"
She looked at the person who pulled her up and pushed her into the inner room without any explanation and cried out.
"You've come all the way here from the capital, and you haven't had a good night's sleep yet. Go to bed." Xiao Changheng pushed her straight to the bed.
Without waiting for her to object, he added:
"If you refuse, I'll let Nan Zheng take you back. If you run away halfway, I'll punish him severely."
Yun Qingqing had no choice but to shut up.
Xiao Changheng was satisfied then. He said softly, "See you tomorrow," and turned to go out.
Yun Qingqing opened her mouth behind him, then closed it with a frown.
She lowered her head in confusion and thought for a while, and finally decided not to think too much about it for the time being. She performed a Qingxin Jue and went to sleep.
She dreamed of that day again.
…
The next morning, Yun Qingqing opened her eyes and sat up, with a dazed look in her eyes.
I always feel like I dreamed about something very important, but I can't remember it at all.
The same thing seemed to have happened before on the way to Jingguo.
"Qingqing~, how was your rest?"
Zhiluo rushed in, threw herself at her side, held her hand and talked nonstop.
"This is the first time I've come to such a northern place in my entire life. I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep at all, so I simply ran out to play and see if there were any of my kind in the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Guess what happened?"
Yun Qingqing was brought back to her senses by her chatterbox. When she heard her say that she was going out to look for her people in the middle of the night, she frowned again:
"You are unfamiliar with the place, aren't you afraid of running into troubles you can't handle?"
"Hehe..." Zhiluo touched the back of her head and laughed, "It's okay. We mountain ghosts have always had a keen sense of danger. Look, I'm fine!"
"Hey, don't think about those things yet. I haven't finished talking yet. Although my fellow tribesmen haven't found anything, guess what I found out in the mountains?"
"Huh? What?" Yun Qingqing couldn't help but become interested when she heard what she said mysteriously.
Zhiluo flicked her long sleeves and a black mass was thrown to the ground, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a little baby with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
Yun Qingqing: ...
The little baby looks about three or four years old. Children of this age are generally cute.
But the guy in front of me with a pointed face and a few beards is really an eye-catcher.
Can't these idiots have some aesthetic sense?
Seeing her sucking her teeth, Zhiluo nodded in agreement:
"Ugly, right? I think so too... But I didn't bring him here to show you how ugly the rat spirit is!"
She turned around and ordered:
"Say again what you told me before!"
Haozi felt very aggrieved.
Who is ugly? You are ugly!
I am clearly the most handsome guy among us rats!
When I grow up, I will become the most handsome young man and marry the most beautiful girl in our tribe!
But he only dared to think about these words in his heart.
Because this vicious woman was so scary, he couldn't let his entire family suffer because of his momentary anger.
The rat spirit said in a shrill voice:
"Don't worry, Immortal. Let me explain in detail..."
"Oh, just pick out the key points!" Zhiluo said impatiently, "Just tell me, what did you hear the old Taoist say a few days ago?"
"Oh, okay..." the Rat Demon said honestly, "The old Taoist said that the bad luck that has been planted on the Regent for so many years should be almost gone. As long as we nail the Regent's soul in the Five Thunder Formation, we can completely drain out his good luck!"
Yun Qingqing's eyes suddenly became fierce.
