Chapter 029 Princess, People Can Hear
Dinner is definitely not comparable to that in Beijing. It’s just porridge with dried meat and vegetables.
Qin Zhaoyue didn't pick and choose. They were all pure green and pollution-free good things. They were better than takeout, not to mention that she also had pastries brought from Beijing.
It's too hot to keep them at all. Even if I store them in water boxes, they will probably only be around until today, so I just built them all.
A majestic figure was beside her. It was Ping An, who was eating steamed buns with porridge.
This is also the dry food that the princess's kitchen specially prepared for Ping An. It is a steamed bun made of unleavened dough that can be used as a snack and can help him stay hungry.
But that thing gets hard after it dries, which is really bad for your teeth, so it is usually drunk by soaking in water.
But Ping'an held the steamed bun and bit into it, it was so crispy. He took a bite of steamed bun and a mouthful of porridge, and still enjoyed it sweetly.
Looking at his appearance, Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but touch his head.
"I'm sorry, Ping An. I promised you that you would have good meals every day, but I didn't expect you to leave Beijing so soon.
Don't worry, I'll make it up to you when we return to Beijing."
Ping An stopped eating and looked at Qin Zhaoyue with a silly smile, "It's delicious and filling."
After saying that, he continued to eat steamed buns and drink porridge.
Qin Zhaoyue shook his head. This silly child, with such an appetite, he might starve if he really went to the disaster area.
There is nothing we can do if we really go to the severely affected areas. We can only bear with him for a while and make it up to him when we return to the capital.
The Qingluan Guards scattered around were all shocked.
In their impression, the princess was very arrogant and they had already prepared themselves mentally for the difficult service along the way.
Unexpectedly, there was no trouble at all during the whole day. In the evening, he asked to ride a horse for a while. He was quite talented and didn't cause any trouble.
The way he comforted the big fool seemed sincere.
They looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Is this still the brainless and trouble-making Sixth Princess that is widely rumored in the capital?
Sui Mo watched their quarrel and drank his porridge quietly without saying a word.
There were some things she couldn't say proactively, but she believed that as they spent more time together they would discover that the Sixth Princess was not at all what the rumors said.
Although he does have a bad temper and a bad mouth...
Qin Zhaoyue didn't eat steamed buns, but drank porridge and ate pastries. He brought too many pastries, so all the people who accompanied him got some, and the rest were all with Ping'an.
When she had nothing to do, she asked Sui Mo, "Do these people you brought with you have any special skills?"
Hearing this, the breeze and drizzle also perked up.
It is true that Sui Mo and the other two cannot compete with them, but the other twelve are just ordinary Qingluan Guards and have no official positions.
Just like when they first left Qilin Guard, it is very likely that they are all at the sixth level with their true Qi just formed.
Sui Mo gave a wink, and the Qingluan Guards tacitly agreed to each keep an eye on one direction to ensure that no one would eavesdrop.
"I have selected twelve men from my command and, for Your Highness's convenience, have renamed them Mo One to Mo Twelve."
Sui Mo pointed out the team members to the princess one by one in order, "Your Highness, just memorize them slowly during this time."
If it was a simple protection mission, there would be no need for her to introduce it so clearly, or even let the princess recognize who was who, but things were not that simple.
Even though there are three disaster relief envoys now, if the secret decree is produced, even the eldest princess and the fifth prince will have to obey the orders of the sixth princess.
So Suimo planned to take advantage of this time to inform the Sixth Princess about the situation in the team.
No matter whether it can be used in the end, it is better to prevent it than not.
"Mo Yi has the fastest footing, leaves no footprints on the snow, and is adept at hiding, making him an excellent scout;"
"Mo Er's inner energy is as strong as his peers, and he is the best in the group in terms of attacking."
"Wait a minute!" Qin Zhaoyue raised her hand to interrupt, looking at the direction Sui Mo had pointed in disbelief, "You said she was tough?"
She looked carefully and found that Mo Er was the smallest among the twelve people in the group. If converted, his height was probably less than 1.5 meters.
My gaze fell on her uncontrollably. Hmm... although she was small, she looked a little bit surging.
Sui Mo was not surprised to hear the doubts, as Mo Er's appearance was indeed very deceptive.
With a gesture, Mo Er immediately approached her. The two people next to him immediately took care of her position without any instructions.
"elder sister……"
Sui Mo has already explained that everyone treats each other as sisters in public.
"Well, let me show His Highness a little bit."
Mo Er didn't waste any words. He picked up a stone and suddenly pointed his right hand out in the shape of a sword.
The next moment, the stone was transparent...
Looking at the falling debris and the stones pierced by fingers, Qin Zhaoyue silently gave a thumbs up.
She is also a sixth-rank cultivator, can she do it too?
Mo Er acted as if nothing had happened. Afraid of leaving any marks, he pulled out his fingers and pinched the stone.
Gravel debris fell rapidly from between his fingers, and within a few breaths the stone disappeared.
Qin Zhaoyue was speechless: Just a slight move can crush the bones, right?
After the performance, Mo Er bowed and went back to the periphery.
"Go on."
"Mo San has a long-lasting breath and excellent water ability. He can stay underwater for an incense stick without taking a breath."
"Mo Si is good at archery, and shooting an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away is no problem."
"Mo Wu has the best nose, as good as a hound, and is the best at tracking."
"Mo Liu is proficient in the art of disguise and is also good at sneaking in to gather intelligence."
…
Qin Zhaoyue could tell that each of these people was a talent. In addition to their own cultivation, they all had a special skill. It was obvious that Suimo had really carefully selected the team members.
"Mo Twelve is best at using poison and hidden weapons."
Hmm? Qin Zhaoyue suddenly became interested again.
She has skills but doesn't know a single move, and can't fight to her full potential.
But hidden weapons are different. You can coat them with poison and throw them out secretly to kill people. This is perfect for her!
Sui Mo could tell from her expression that she was very interested, and cooperated by calling Mo Twelve over.
This girl looks very quiet and doesn't say a word all day. Qin Zhaoyue doesn't have much impression of her.
However, it is precisely because of this appearance and personality that the use of hidden weapons is even more unexpected.
Just like Mo Er, she is extremely deceptive. Who would have thought that she is a strong woman who can perform miracles.
"Your Highness."
Mo Twelve bowed and then reached out to start scratching his head, one needle, two needles, three needles...
Looking at the pile of needles in front of him, Qin Zhaoyue's scalp tingled, "Alright, stop pulling."
Upon hearing this, Mo Twelve immediately lowered his arms and stood quietly aside.
"Won't you accidentally hurt yourself like this?"
“I could when I first started practicing, but not now.”
Qin Zhaoyue picked up a flying needle, as thin as a cow hair. If you look carefully under the firelight, you can find that it is still hollow.
I pinched the middle and pressed the two sides. I didn't expect it to be so hard.
“This is Mo Twelve’s unique flying needle. It’s fast, quiet, and extremely concealed.
Its attacks are often hard to guard against, and after being poisoned, it has considerable lethality.
At least ten Fifth Realm warriors have died under her flying needles, and there have even been records of besieging and killing those from the Fourth Realm."
Qin Zhaoyue's eyes lit up instantly. This was exactly what she wanted to learn. "I want to learn!"
Mo Twelve didn't answer and looked at the team leader. Sui Mo didn't expect that the Sixth Princess would be interested in hidden weapons.
"Your Highness, ordinary hidden weapons are fine, but flying knives and willow leaf darts are easier to use.
Mo Twelve's flying needles are too light, so technique is very important, and to master the essence you need to use your true energy..."
"Yeah!" Qin Zhaoyue nodded vigorously, "I have to learn!"
Sui Mo held his forehead with his hand, thinking that her explanation was in vain.
Okay, I guess she’ll only be interested for a while. Once the princess tries it and finds it’s not that easy, she’ll probably give up on her own initiative.
"Oh well."
Mo Twelve picked up a flying needle and held it in his palm without any hesitation.
Normally she would use her true Qi to absorb, and considering the princess's situation, she first bent her thumb to fix it, which was also what she did when she first started learning flying needles.
Qin Zhaoyue listened carefully, and learned about hiding the needle, stability, the strength of the throwing technique, etc., because she really had all the conditions to learn it.
After listening to all the key points, she felt that she had mastered the skill.
"Hey, whoever of you two should stand further away and have a peach on his head."
Gentle breeze and drizzle:?
"Your Highness, are you talking about... me and Xiyu?"
"Nonsense, we are all girls. What if we poke the wrong place? Do you have the heart to let Ping An go?"
Gentle breeze and drizzle:!
Boys are also afraid of poking the wrong place, okay? They haven't carried on the family line yet.
The two looked at each other and suddenly noticed the seriousness in each other's eyes.
I would rather die than let my friend die. The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.
Just as their eyes exchanged and undercurrents surged, they suddenly heard the clear ringing of bells outside.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
All the Qingluan Guards instantly went into alert, as did Qingfeng and Xiyu.
Except for Ping'an who was still enjoying his meal, even Qin Zhaoyue and Tao Yao became alert.
This is the signal we agreed on before, which means to be vigilant.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and it was the patrol team on duty at night.
Seeing the leader on the tall horse, Qin Zhaoyue covered his mouth.
"Sui Mo, that Meng Jian is here, so handsome!"
Broken Ink: ...
"Well... Your Highness, Commander Meng has a good level of cultivation and can hear what you are saying. Covering your mouth is useless."
Qin Zhaoyue:!
She immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, as if she had covered her mouth to avoid losing manners. Then she decisively lowered her head and continued to drink porridge as if nothing had happened.
This is so embarrassing! He heard me peeking at this handsome guy!
Meng Jian on horseback originally planned to come over to say hello. Even if she was not favored, she was still a princess.
What's more, we will see each other every day during this period, so we should always be polite to each other.
Before he got close, he heard the sound of bells and the maids scattered around the Sixth Princess.
Meng Jian made a judgment instantly. These people were definitely not ordinary maids. They all had cultivation skills!
How could this be? How could the Sixth Princess's residence support so many powerful beings beyond the ordinary realm?
Before he had time to digest this information, a low murmur fell into his ears.
Meng Jian's breathing suddenly stopped and his back stiffened. He was about to pull the reins to tie the horse, but immediately changed his grip to clamp the horse's belly and passed by the Sixth Princess' camp as if he didn't hear what was said.
After they walked away, Qin Zhaoyue sighed.
Although it may be a bit socially unacceptable, everyone loves beauty. Besides, people just pretended not to hear it, so I might as well just be happy and pretend it never happened.
"Hey, the handsome guy is gone... Do you think he has eight-pack abs? Do they feel uncomfortable to touch?"
Broken Ink: ...
She wanted to say that Meng Jian should be able to hear her from this distance, but she opened her mouth and gave up.
Forget it, it’s just the first day of the journey. For the sake of peace, I’d better keep it secret for now.
Meng Jian, who had already ridden away, felt a pang in his heart: No way? They're not really coming for me, are they?
After eating and drinking, Qin Zhaoyue stood up and said, "Okay, everyone who has eaten can get back to work. Let's get some wood and cut it into wooden cards. Let's play cards!"
The Blue Luan Guards: ...
Didn't you say you wouldn't mess with me? Sure enough, she's still the princess in the legend.
Only the silly maid Tao Yao cooperated, "Princess, shall we play mahjong?"
"No, let's play flying chess, beast chess, military chess, five-in-a-row chess, and run fast!"
"How come I have never heard of it?"
"Of course, they were all invented by this princess. They are so fun."
"Okay, okay."
"Playing alone is boring, how about we gamble some of our monthly wages?"
The applause stopped abruptly, and the silly maid immediately turned her head away with a bitter face, "Forget it, I won't play anymore."
"No, just a few cents is enough for the sake of showing your appreciation."
The silly maid is not that stupid. Her monthly salary has been deducted, so how could she have any money?
Qin Zhaoyue then turned his gaze towards Sui Mo, "The Qingluan Guard's monthly salary is quite high, right?"
Broken Ink: ...
Feeling bad.
