Chapter 76 Want to always follow you (1)
In fact, to be precise, apart from going against Lin Qing, Situ Yaohua was still considered a very good crown prince. If he could ascend the throne, he will definitely be a wise monarch. Unfortunately, persons who walk different paths couldn’t make plans together. It served him right to be dealt like this by his opponent.
Sure enough, there was no Situ Yaohua among the people who came to see the group off the next day. Although, no one knew the reason, no one blamed him. He is the crown prince after all. Situ Yuanxiao also believed that his elder brother couldn’t get away because of something important. So, he wasn’t bothered by this.
Among the officials who came to see the army off, aside from the guards of the Prefecture of Arrest and the members of the Department of Supervision, very few people bidLin Qing goodbye. All of them were looking at him with bad intention and waited for him to become a laughingstock. After all, this treacherous official was going to his death, how could they not clap their hands and sent him off happily?
In the beginning, Lin Qing still socialized with the first one and the second, but Lin Qing wasn’t able to bear it repeatedly. He didn’t even leave the capital yet when these people wanted to ride a roughshod over him. Did they really think his reputation was given in vain?
When the third officials pretended to say goodbye to Lin Qing, Lin Qing flew a whip at him and said, “Sorry, my hand slipped. In a moment of carelessness, I regarded you as a prisoner who had escaped from the prison. Sir, please don’t take offense.”
Lin Qing said that indifferently. At this time, Zhao Zimu played the role of a lackey at the fullest, moved closer and said, “Aiya, Lord Qiansui, why are you swinging this little whip so randomly? If you want to swing it, you can swing it on this little one’s body. You swung it like this, it dropped so much in value!”
Zhao Zimu said with ache, making face of the official who had suffered a whip turn very red, but he was unable to get to argue logically with anyone. Even if he argued, would someone dare to get justice for him? Furthermore, even if someone got justice for him, what could they do about Lin Qing? Who dared to touch this head of the Prefecture of Arrest? As long as he carelessly said a sentence, one more groundless criminal charge would be put on your head. By then, you won’t even have a place to cry.
Therefore, no one spoke up for that person. They didn’t dare and couldn’t speak. This also scared away some people who wanted to come over and make Lin Qing uncomfortable while making themselves comfortable.
Situ Yuanxiao humphed once. The group of people who disliked each other started the journey.
The hundred thousand soldiers would be divided into two parts and were waiting in two cities. By then, they would be led by Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing. It was also to prevent some accidents from happening.
What surprised Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing was that they didn’t know what method Lin Qing had used to move emperor Jinghui for emperor Jinghui to drew five thousand people from the imperial guards of the Forbidden City. Looking at the five thousand people who were neatly paced, rigorously lined and neatly formed, Situ Yuanxiao’s eyes were bloodshot and fire almost came out.
This castrated official’s method was really despicable and shameless. What was the imperial guards of the Forbidden City? That was an existence specialized in guarding the imperial capital. Could they be drawn out just like this?
Furthermore, comparing military strength, how could ordinary soldiers compare to them? With these five thousand people, no matter where he goes, people would have to consider before acting. If they want to touch Lin Qing, they must have the confidence to wipe out these five thousand people without fail, otherwise, even if only one person had escaped, the information would be leaked. Assassinating a supervisor of the army was tantamount to rebelling and no one could bear such a serious crime.
The five thousand people were led by a general named Zhang Xin. The five thousand people were divided into front, middle and back and protected Lin Qing in between. The group of people set out unhurriedly. They started from the city gate and went away with the dust and stained the journey with blood.
However, not long after they set off, there was an abnormal movement among the guards of the Prefecture of Arrest who followed Lin Qing, causing Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing to look over at them.
A guard from the group that protected around Lin Qing’s carriage, lifted a round-faced guy like a chicken and threw him in front of Lin Qing’s carriage.
Zhao Zimu poked her head out of the carriage. With just one glance, her head immediately hurt. Lin Qing who was watching from a side, only took on glance and retracted his head. The meaning was that Zhao Zimu should figure it out herself.
Ling Er was dressed in the same fashion as her. However, compared to the guards who were dressed the same, that thin and weak body was exceptionally eye-piercing.
The very eye-piercing Ling Er naturally attracted the attention of others. The guard was Lin Qing’s subordinate, so he recognized this girl. His action of just now was just for the show. In fact, he placed her lightly in front of the carriage, otherwise, Ling Er wouldn’t be leaping and frisking about like now.
Chen Jing rode his horse to Lin Qing’s carriage. After a few steps, he looked at Situ Yuanxiao once and said, “Leading an army on the expedition is not a child’s play. It is extremely dangerous. This person is weak and small. Qiansui’s follower is a bit too weak. Are you not afraid of letting the emperor’s grace down?”
Chen Jing’s dedication to his duties made people unable to find faults. To be honest, this man is good-looking, young and handsome, but why did Ling Er felt that he is hateful? No ivory comes from the mouth of a dog.
- No ivory comes from the mouth of a dog: no good words are to be expected from a scoundrel.
She had been thrown in front of the carriage by a guard. Because she had learned some martial arts from Zhao Zimu these past few days, Ling Er who was like a little proud rooster, felt that her hands were itchy. She really wanted to let the person in front of her knew how good she was and also let miss knows that she was actually worthy of following her (ZZ)!
Ling Er did as her thoughts. She jumped from the ground and attacked Chen Jing.
Seeing the fierce and petite figure rushing to him, Chen Jing naturally didn’t take her skills seriously. With a wave, his horse whip went straight at her.
Give her a not light nor heavy shot. It was not only to show his generosity but also to demonstrate his military force to Lin Qing.
Naturally, his behavior was approved by Situ Yuanxiao. The two sides had been at odds and it would’ve been very strange if this journey was peaceful.
