The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 423 Going north to visit her husband, intercepting halfway (2)
"You little girl is becoming more and more unruly in your speech." Chu Qing gave her a strange look.

"Your servant realizes your mistake, don't blame Wangfei." Jiujiu stuck out his tender tongue and hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Although this was an admission of mistake, it was not sincere at all, and Chu Qing didn't bother to point it out, but just smiled helplessly.

"The closer you get to the border, the more chaotic the world will be. It's best not to make any trouble." Chu Qing lowered his eyebrows and muttered.In her mind, the burning eyes of the refugees hiding from the grain escort team on the roadside made her unforgettable.

These homeless people who left their hometowns because of the war seemed to have their minds on the grain escort team.

Robbing military supplies is a capital offense.

"Cheer up, everyone. If something goes wrong, you all have to accompany me to lose your head!" Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar from outside the carriage.

This voice was not unfamiliar to Chu Qing.It was the deep voice of General Peng, the highest operational commander of this team.

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself: It seems that this person has also noticed the malicious intentions raised by the victims on the side of the road. Don't make a single mistake into eternal hatred.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the carriage, and then General Peng's voice came from outside: "Princess, I'm afraid the road is not peaceful these days. If something really happens, I will arrange for the concubine to leave first. Can you When we reach Tianxia Pass, it will be up to the princess."

In troubled times, anything can happen.General Peng had to greet Chu Qing first, so as not to cause more confusion when things came to an end.

Respecting his kindness, Chu Qing smiled and said lightly from the carriage: "General Peng, don't worry, this concubine can take care of herself."

Outside the car, the five-year-old man who looked as thick as a black bear was stunned for a moment, as if dissatisfied with the casual tone of Chu Qing's words, he frowned and said, "In this way, the general will no longer affect Wangfei's rest."

After speaking, he rode away.

It was night, and the food escort team slept in the mountains and camped by the lake.

The moon is over, the night is quiet, and the troops have been exhausted all day, and they have already fallen into a deep sleep.

The entire barracks was quiet, only the burning bonfire, and the sound of dry wood exploding from time to time.

Suddenly, several cat-like black shadows sprang out from the woods, carefully hid in the grass, and observed the movement of the barracks.After waiting for a long while, no figure appeared. The leader waved his arms, and several black shadows walked silently towards the place where the escort supplies were piled up.

After a while, several people had arrived at the destination, spotted a cart full of rice grains, lightly removed the rope, and carried the bulging sack on the cart on their backs, just like when the Tathagata came quietly leave.

In the darkness, it seemed that only the hazy moon in the sky saw their actions.

Seeing that they were about to leave the barracks, they felt very proud. Suddenly...the torches lit up all around, followed by a series of footsteps of armor colliding.

The fire flickered, but it illuminated the place brightly.

In the light of the torch, the figures of several shadows were revealed.Of the five people, no doubt they were not all pale and emaciated, dressed as refugees.

The sacks on the five people who were surrounded had already fallen to the ground, and their faces were full of horror.

"Come here! Bind these daring food thieves to this general, and reward each of them with a hundred thorn whips. When they set off, tie them in front of the horses and tell the people. I will see who else will come to catch Grandpa's attention." Peng Peng The general walked out of the team, without giving the opponent a chance to speak, and directly issued an order.

"General! Please spare us..."

"We don't dare anymore, please spare us, please!"

The voices of begging for mercy were endless, and this scene fell into the eyes of Chu Qing, Jiu Jiu, and Duan Dao, but they had different thoughts in their hearts.

The light from the flickering torches shone on their faces, making their expressions dim.

A trace of unbearableness flashed in Jiujiu's eyes, and he pressed his lips together tightly.

"Do you think that these refugees are also forced to be helpless, which is justifiable. General Peng's actions are too cruel and unreasonable?" Chu Qing seemed to sense the dissatisfaction in Jiujiu's heart, and turned to look at her.

Having been seen through by the master, Jiujiu no longer hid himself, and said with his jaw down: "They are all refugees, not bandits, and they have nothing to lose. Just give them a warning, why bother..."

"The benevolence of a woman." Duan Dao snorted coldly.

"You!" Jiujiu was in a hurry, looking at Duandao, his eyes were full of anger.

Chu Qing's eyes shifted, and finally landed on General Peng, and he said to end the unnecessary dispute between the two: "In troubled times, severe punishment is used, if he doesn't kill chickens to make an example of monkeys, he will have to face more such situations in the future. In my opinion, if he didn't kill them, he was showing mercy."

Jiujiu pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but the dissatisfaction in his eyes still existed.

Chu Qing was amused, and turned to look at her: "You have to remember one thing, no matter how many grievances you have, it cannot constitute a reason to commit a crime. Law is law, and crimes must be punished."

The night passed, and the troops set off again.At the front of the line, the few refugees who had been caught stealing food appeared in front of everyone with their skins and bruises, making other people with unruly intentions restrain themselves and dare not make mistakes.

A few days later, the food escort team finally arrived at Tianxia Pass without any risk.

On this day, Zhao Shenghao was discussing the military situation with the generals in the city lord's mansion of Tianxia Pass.Now, the generals at the border looked at Zhao Shenghao without the disdain and ridicule they had in the past, but with admiration and admiration.

When someone came to report that the imperial court's food escort team had arrived at Tianxia Pass, Zhao Shenghao didn't pay much attention to it, but just ordered Sang Tiekun to arrange everything.

However, when he heard the next sentence, Princess Xiaoyao also came with her...

In the hall, the generals only felt a strange wind blowing over their faces, and when they looked at the position of the coach, where was the shadow of Zhao Shenghao?

"Qing'er!" A call that contained longing but revealed anger made Chu Qing turn around.

Before she could see who was coming, she fell into a hard and cold embrace, with a pair of long arms tightly wrapped around her waist.

"Why did you come here without saying a word?" He hugged her tightly, like a treasure that was lost and found again.Zhao Shengqian's voice was full of reproach just as Chu Qing thought.

The military prohibits female relatives from appearing, and the scene of this husband and wife embracing affectionately left everyone around stunned.

Following him, Ah Fu, who was also in military uniform, clenched his fist and coughed lightly on his lips, and told the people around him, "Turn around, what should you do?"

The military order was like a mountain, and even though the soldiers wanted to take a closer look, they had no choice but to leave.

Zhao Shenghao's tall figure was wrapped in a black and purple cloak, covering Chu Qing's graceful figure, with only his head exposed.
