Chapter 77 First stop, Rong City (2)

The bewildered expression gradually turned into indifference. Ling Er stared at him fiercely. Just as she was about to open her mouth to reprimand this lecher, her fierce gaze suddenly became pitiful. It was so watery that it made people want to have a better look.

Chen Jing who grudged her because she was Lin Qing’s wanted to let go of her, “…”

Was, was she expressing goodwill towards him?

However, before he finished pondering whether to continue to support her, a person suddenly appeared in front of the two. That person was also dressed in a brown brocade robe. On him, it gave him a more out of this world and handsome feeling than others.

That person stretched out his hand indifferently in front of him. The person who he was supporting immediately rushed over. Chen Jing couldn’t help himself from also tugging once. The person who was happily rushed forward returned to his side with this tug…

“What are you doing?” Ling Er stared angrily at him with red eyes. Chen Jing did as if nothing had happened before and quickly withdrew his hand. He stared blankly at the air in front of him…

She gritted her teeth and rushed forward happily again. She knew that miss wouldn’t have the heart, but this wouldn’t have the heart came so late. She couldn’t even move now.

Zhao Zimu’s eyes softened a bit and had helplessness in them. After catching her, she carried her and walked to Lin Qing’s carriage.

The person who was being carried blinked. She pretended to be cute and say to the person in front of her, “Miss, are you not angry with me anymore?”

Zhao Zimu’s gaze softened a bit and her expression was a lot gentler, but she didn’t speak.

Ling Er blinked again and promised her, “Miss, I will definitely be very useful and won’t hold you back. Don’t drive me away.” She paused for a moment and murmured, “Anyway, you won’t be able to drive me away anyway.”

If it wasn’t because Zhao Zimu was unable to use her hands now, she would’ve definitely slapped this girl’s butt fiercely. No one had taught Zhao Zimu how to be a virtuous woman, so, she acted like a man without scruples. Hence, this slap may be shocking in the eyes of others, but it was nothing in her eyes.

It was a pity that she couldn’t pull out a hand now. A helpless and compromising smile appeared in her eyes and she said, “Only you can. If you accidentally die, I will recognize you.”

Ling Er was entangled for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Then, can you find a good place to burry me?”

Look at her eyes, was it also want me to burn incense for her every Tomb Sweeping Day and Winter Solstice?

• Tomb Sweeping Day is the 5^th to the 19^th of April. During this day, families visit the tombs of their ancestors.

Zhao Zimu humphed and said, “You won’t die.”

Only now did Ling Er smile happily. As if she thought of something again, her small hand clung on Zhao Zimu’s shoulder. Without knowing, she rubbed the dust on her head against Zhao Zimu’s face. Then, she looked at the person who was looking at them in a distance and smiled triumphantly.

Chen Jing, “…”

He didn’t understand why that person was so arrogantly foolish. Had he been too kind to her just now?

On the seventh day, the group arrived at the first city, Rong City. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses were already in the city, waiting for Situ Yuanxiao to take over.

As soon as the group arrived, they were warmly welcomed by the magistrate of Rong City. He took people and went twenty miles from the city to pick them up. This was the treatment only for imperial envoys.

There was no other way. The magistrate of Rong City knew exactly what kind of people was passing here and he couldn’t not be cautious.

However, as soon as the group arrived twenty miles from Rong City, the expression of the magistrate became bitter because the two teams were clearly separated. Lin Qing led five thousand imperial guards. Situ Yuanxiao and Chen Jing led a team of hundred of entourages. One team was huge and impetus. The other team was thin, but headstrong. One is the Qiansui of this dynasty, the other is Great Liang’s prince. Which side should the magistrate of Rong City, Xia Liangsheng go meet?

Who to meet first was a problem.

The atmosphere instantly became weird. If this stalemate continues, not only will the impact be bad, but it would also make the heart of the army unstable. No one wanted to see that happen.

It took a long time for Lin Qing to let Zhang Xin go meet Xia Liangsheng and the others. It was more appropriate for him (ZX) to go forward.

Although, he was listening to Lin Qing’s command, he was from the army of the Forbidden City and possessed imperial prestige. No matter who it was, they would give him face.

Moreover, this action couldn’t be regarded as Lin Qing showing weakness. After all, he didn’t do anything and Zhang Xin couldn’t fully represent him.

Situ Yuanxiao humphed before he moved forward with Chen Jing and his entourage.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qing’s voice came from a distance behind him, “Merely like this.”

Situ Yuanxiao immediately stopped the horse. His eyes shot sharply at the person who was slowly getting out of the carriage not far away.

He was adorned in a purple-red robe. His figure was long and coldness showed from his face. The moment the prestige that he had accumulated in so many years appeared, everyone present except for Situ Yuanxiao became a bit timid. This was what power was.

Zhao Zimu held one of his hand. She stood respectfully beside him and dutifully assumed the role of the number one running dog of this treacherous official. Her expression was as cold as Lin Qing’s.

“Were you talking about me?!” Situ Yuanxiao asked coldly. Ever since getting out of Liang capital, Siu Yuanxiao had less qualms. He was originally someone who was arrogant and obstinate. Aside from the few people who he cowered to, basically, there was no one who could keep Situ Yuanxiao in check. And, the reason that Situ Yaohua sent him to the frontier may be because he wanted to use this to give Lin Qing more stress.

Lin Qing gently squeezed Zhao Zimu’s arm with the delicate armor on his finger. There was a bit of hostility and determination in the effeminate eyes. He said with a smile that was not yet a smile, “Your Highness must be joking. Lin Qing didn’t have any other meaning. It is just that leading the army to war is not child’s play. When you enter Rong city, you will be commanding fifty thousand soldiers and this subject has the full power to supervise the dispatching army that will go to fight the Xiongnu. This subject hopes that Your Highness don’t let emotions cloud your decisions.”

Situ Yuanxiao stared coldly at him for a long time before he hit the horse towards Xia Liangsheng who was sweating profusely already.
