Chapter 184 You are ugly, I am obviously the most beautiful kid in the 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 she "interrupted his words", he meant that she had 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 than normal. I have to fight the enemy with all my strength and keep an eye on their deployments. Everything will be chaotic. What if you stay here and get into 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've already been ambushed in the last battle. Don't you realize that? That evil spirit is no ordinary soldier. He might still be watching you everywhere. Besides me, who else can handle 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 curled his fingertips slightly, feeling a little guilty.
He knew that he had selfish motives in saying this. Normally, he would never discriminate based on closeness or distance and put someone who was clearly unrelated in danger.
But when it came to Yun Qingqing, he didn't want to take any risk at all.
He had already understood last night that as long as she was safe, he was willing to do anything.
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 war 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 me. If they can touch a corner of my clothes, you win, and I'll go back obediently. Is that okay?"
She finished her words 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 won't even agree to this, then I can only follow you secretly when the time comes."
"You don't really think that the people you sent to escort me can trap me, do you?"
Xiao Changheng: ...
He had no doubt that with Yun Qingqing's personality, 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 brought back from the southern expedition was to stabilize the army's morale?"
"That's true, but not entirely," Xiao Changheng said. "He claimed that I was seriously injured in the battle and was in imminent danger. General Chang and his men used this as an excuse to hold a rally to swear in the soldiers. This galvanized all the soldiers in the city into a furious hatred for the enemy, and they were eager to win a decisive 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 room without saying a word, and let out a low cry.
"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, then 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. He said softly, "See you tomorrow," and turned to go outside.
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. She pinched 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 beside her, held her hand and talked nonstop.
"This is the first time in my life that I've come this far north. I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep at all, so I just 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're a stranger here, aren't you afraid of running into trouble 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 nonsense for now. I haven't finished what I said. Although my fellow tribesmen haven't discovered it, guess what I found out in the mountains?"
"Huh? What?" Yun Qingqing couldn't help but become interested when she heard her speak mysteriously.
Zhiluo flicked her long sleeves, and a black mass was thrown to the ground, and in a 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 pointed face and the beard in front of me are really an eye-catcher.
Can't these rat spirits have some aesthetic sense?
Seeing her sucking her teeth, Zhiluo nodded in agreement:
"Ugly as hell, huh? I think so too... But I didn't bring him here to show you how ugly the rat demon 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 is so scary, he can't let his entire family suffer because of his momentary anger.
The rat spirit said in a shrill voice:
"Don't worry, Great Immortal. Let me explain in detail..."
"Hey, just pick out the key points!" Zhiluo said impatiently, "Just tell me, what did you hear that 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 accumulating on the Regent for all these years should be almost gone. As long as we pin the Regent's soul in the Five Thunder Formation, we can completely drain away his good fortune!"
Yun Qingqing's eyes suddenly became fierce.
