Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 587 is clearly just making excuses.
Seeing Hong Xiaoduo's unusually serious expression, the two adults and six children became a little nervous. They couldn't help but wonder if she was thinking of telling them to wait for her in a safe place.

I knew it! She was too happy too soon. How could she let them all get into danger together?

"It's like this, although I've never told you before, I know you've noticed it all along. Besides my amazing kung fu, I also have another rather special secret technique." Hong Xiaoduo's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for them to hear clearly, while others couldn't hear it.

"Our destination is a battlefield, a war between two armies. The situation is not comparable to the bandits and robbers we encountered before."

If, and I mean if, we encounter a very dangerous situation, I might use a secret technique to make you invisible, so that the enemy won't be able to see you.

In an emergency, I might not inform you before using that secret technique again. So I'm telling you now that if you suddenly find yourself in an unfamiliar place where you can't hear or see anything outside, don't panic or get nervous. Even if you can't see me, don't worry about me.

Don't wander around, just stay there quietly, rest well, and wait.

If you can't see me, it means I'm not in danger, because if I were also defeated, I would naturally hide with you.

Of course, this secret technique must never be told to anyone else, not even family.

Huh? Is this possible?

After hearing her words, the two adults and six children were initially shocked, but quickly accepted the information. They also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was leaving them somewhere to wait for her; rather, it was a situation where they had no choice but to go invisible in a truly dangerous situation. That meant they could still be with her, which was really great.

The two adults and one child nodded together, indicating that they understood, comprehended, and remembered!

Although they were all curious about the invisibility technique she mentioned that would make them invisible to the enemy, Yao Guang, who was only six years old, was sensible enough not to ask if they could try it now.

If it were something she could easily try, she would have let them experience it long ago; she wouldn't have waited until now.

If it weren't for the war in Huazhou, she probably wouldn't have told them.

In the evening, they stopped in an open space by the official road. To save time and for convenience, they set up a large tent. For the past few days, Quan Jinghuai had been sleeping outside, not just for guard duty.

Instead, these days, after setting up camp at night, people fleeing the war on the road would gather there, hoping that one more person would be safer.

As a result, there are always those petty thieves who try to steal things, which is quite annoying.

If he really is a villain who kills and robs, then the two guards, Blackie and Gray, are enough.

They were all the kind of people who just liked to take advantage of others and were dishonest, annoying but not to the point of harming or maiming them.

People will analyze, weigh, and determine the level of wrongdoing committed by the person who comes, and then give them an appropriate lesson.

But Little Black and Little Gray, those two are a different story. If they were to fall, they might be crippled, or even killed.

The two horses that joined later were the ones given by the Wei family and the Marquis of Fu'an's family. Although they weren't as smart as Little Black and Little Gray, they were very self-aware as younger brothers, very obedient, and would follow orders.

Well, Hong Xiaoduo was a bit helpless about this, because those two blindly followed without distinguishing between good and bad. The Lan Pavilion Master must have offended Xiao Hui somehow. Whenever he got close to Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui didn't kick him, but instead gave him a bunch of donkey dung balls.

At first, Pavilion Master Lan thought it was a coincidence, but after it happened several times in a row, and he accidentally stepped on it twice, and after hearing Tian Shu and the others say that Little Gray never poops randomly, Pavilion Master Lan realized that this four-legged creature might be deliberately targeting him.

Xiao Hei didn't participate, but if his two underlings happened to be next to Xiao Hui and saw it, they would follow Xiao Hui's example and come forward to offer the Pavilion Master some fresh horse manure.

Quan Jinghuai slept outside in a recliner with a thick cushion, covered with a quilt, holding a sword. That was enough to deter those who planned to steal something.

Hong Xiaoduo suggested that she and he take turns sleeping outside, but Quan Jinghuai said no, saying that if she slept outside, it might attract some troublesome people.

Hong Xiaoduo said, "It's okay. If any pervert dares to come, I'll just give him a free castration."

Quan Jinghuai knew, of course, that she wasn't just saying it casually; she was truly capable of doing such a thing, so he resolutely refused. It wasn't that he was kind-hearted; he simply wanted his disciples to get a good night's sleep. For example, right now, seeing them stop to set up tents, three more groups quickly arrived and stopped nearby to spend the night. Everyone hung several lanterns, making the area quite bright.

There was a man who kept staring at Fei Yan and Hong Xiaoduo.

Quan Jinghuai sighed. It would be better if this reckless guy behaved himself tonight; otherwise, he would either lose his eyesight or be castrated.

However, this time Quan Jinghuai really misjudged the situation. He did have something to do that night, but it wasn't that lecherous guy.

The group closest to Li Hong and Xiao Duo consisted of an elderly couple, a young woman, a chubby little boy who looked about eight or nine years old, a female servant, six burly servants, and two coachmen.

Judging from their clothes and demeanor, they must come from a well-off family.

They didn't have tents, so they used a large piece of felt to make a makeshift shelter, lit a fire to keep warm, and ate hot food. It seemed that after they finished eating, the leaders went into the carriage to rest.

Hong Xiaoduo and the others had already eaten dinner. Tianxuan saw that the charcoal fire under the fire looked good, so she found the chestnuts she had bought earlier, cut slits in them, put a small iron pot on the charcoal fire, and roasted the chestnuts. She wasn't hungry since she had eaten dinner, so she ate a few as a snack and would eat the rest on the way tomorrow.

As the chestnuts slowly cracked open in the hot iron pot, their aroma spread freely.

The sturdy young master looked over in their direction.

When the chestnuts were roasted, Tianxuan took out a small portion, put it in a small wooden basin, and placed it on the small square table next to Hong Xiaoduo.

Hong Xiaoduo reached out and peeled them, then ate a few with her light tea. Tian Shu and the others also each took a few to eat.

Yao Guang ate while kicking a shuttlecock.

Just then, the maidservant followed the young master and walked over here.

As they approached, the maidservant grinned and said to Hong Xiaoduo, "Young lady, we smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts over there, so my mistress sent me over to ask if we could sell some to my young mistress."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo glanced at the other party, especially at the young master mentioned by the servant. Although he had not yet spoken, his hands behind his back, his cold face, and his disdainful gaze sweeping over Tian Shu and the other children made Hong Xiaoduo feel displeased.

Hong Xiaoduo glanced at Tianxuan again. If he encountered children of the same age along the way, he would give them some snacks when he was making them.

Today, Tianxuan didn't do that, so there must be a reason why he's unwilling to give it.

Hong Xiaoduo withdrew her gaze, looked at the maid in front of her and her young master, picked up a chestnut, slowly peeled it, and then said, "Sorry, we are not peddlers, we don't sell."

After saying that, she slowly put the peeled chestnut into her mouth under the other person's surprised gaze. After chewing a few times, she squinted her eyes and said, "It smells so good."

Quan Jinghuai, Fei Yantian, and the others sitting next to him couldn't help but hold back their laughter.

The maid and the young master never expected that Hong Xiaoduo would not only refuse him, but also deliberately tempt him.

How can there be such a person? Generally speaking, when faced with this situation, people would say, out of consideration for face, "Why bother buying it? It's not worth much. Just take some to eat."

"Young lady, what are you asking?" the servant asked anxiously.

Hong Xiaoduo swallowed what was in her mouth and looked at her: "What's wrong with me? Can't I even make decisions about my own things? I have so many children, what if they don't have enough to eat if I sell them to you?"

What are you going to do? If you're really worried that these kids don't have enough to eat, then why are you still feeding them? You're clearly just making excuses!

"I only came to ask you for something because I think highly of you. It's not like it's some rare delicacy. Go back." The servant girl said with a sneer, then turned and left. The maidservant gave Hong Xiaoduo a venomous look before turning and leaving as well.

If they had just left, there wouldn't have been any problem. The key issue was that when the boy passed by Yaoguang, he deliberately bumped into her. Yaoguang was kicking a shuttlecock and, with one leg standing, was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling over...
