Chapter 172 - Falling Stones

This time, Xiao Qingqian rejected all of the servant girls and only allowed Wei Qing to go south while disguised as a woman.

When they had just left the capital, the weather was still sunny and clear. However, the further south they went, the more rain fell.

Many of the mountain paths had been washed away by the rain, causing the roads to be filled with piles of rocks.

Xiao Qingqian picked the curtain of the carriage and donned his raincoat as he left the carriage.

In the past few days, Wei Qing had been on full alert at the start, but Xiao Qingqian kept looking at the map and commanding the hidden guards to clear the obstacles in the way.

Seeing the redness in his eyes, Wei Qing's impression of Xiao Qingqian finally changed.

He might be a scum, but he was definitely a good person who cared about the people!

Xiao Qingqian turned his head, just in time to meet Wei Qing's gaze.

Wei Qing looked like she had been caught red-handed, as she shifted her gaze away helplessly.

Xiao Qingqian was exhausted these past few days, but after catching sight of Wei Qing staring at him, he felt like he had been given a shot, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

Chen Cheng's gaze quickly swept over the two's faces and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the wangfei still cares about you!"

The smile on Xiao Qingqian's lips drooped down as he quickly observed his surroundings.

"Tell the dark guards to clean up quickly, we can't stay here any longer!"

Chen Cheng accepted the order and quickly commanded the hidden guards and guards to clear the road in the rain.

Seeing them bustling around below, Wei Qing also took a raincoat and got off the carriage.

"Why did you get off the carriage?" Xiao Qingqian threw the stone into the valley.

Wei Qing also began to pick at the rocks that she could move, "More people, more power."

The look in Xiao Qingqian's eyes became a little deeper.

He had always thought that Wei Qing was someone lazy to eat, but he never thought that she would actually be so capable.

However, in the end, this wasn't done by a woman!

When Wei Qing bent his body and was about to move the stone around, he scolded with a cold expression: "Don't create trouble here!"

Wei Qing was startled.

She felt that she could buy one second at a time. If she kept delaying like this, then forget about what would happen after dark. The terrain of the valley would cause mud and rocks to flow!

Once they encountered the mud avalanche, it would truly be bad!

Thinking about the victims of the disaster in the south who were still waiting for life-saving medicinal herbs and food, she felt as if her heart was on fire!

At this moment, hearing Xiao Qingqian scolding her like this, Wei Qing was truly angry.

She continued to move the stone regardless of the obstruction. Her delicate hand was cut by the stone and blood fell to the ground with the rain.

Xiao Qingqian's gaze remained on her hand for a long time, before he furiously slapped away the stone in her hand.

As luck would have it, the stone landed on her foot. It was so painful that her expression suddenly changed, and her forehead was almost twisted into a lump.

"Xiao Qingqian, why are you so f * cking hateful?" She cursed.

All of the hidden guards heard it clearly, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat for Wei Qing.

This was a noble prince. How could he hold back the honor of a prince when he was publicly cursed at by his wife?

"What are you all doing?" Sensing that the Qi around Xiao Qingqian's body was becoming denser and denser, Chen Cheng hurried to remind him.

The group of people hurriedly went back to their own ways. No one looked at the two people in front of them.

Wei Qing let out a heavy snort, and continued to pick up the branches.

Xiao Qingqian was really angry, "Scram!"

She glared at him. She wanted to say something, but then she changed her mind when she saw his eyes that could not bear her gaze.

In the end, she could not allow the dog to bite her, so she would bite back.

Ye Zichen twitched his mouth, thinking that he was farting and hiding as far as he could.

Xiao Qingqian was really angry!

Wei Qing was truly a heartless person!

He was thinking for her sake. He was afraid that she would hurt him, or that he would get a fever from being drenched in the rain.

How could she have known that he would be so kind to her?

Originally, everyone was busy clearing the mountain roads, but now, because of Wei Qing's intervention, all the progress was forced to stop.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her from afar, wishing that she could throw him into the valley as if he was throwing a rock in his hand.

Wei Qing snorted, pretended to return to the carriage, and took advantage of when no one was looking, to move further away.

"Rumble ~ ~ ~"

Following the falling of the broken stones, Xiao Qingqian suddenly discovered Wei Qing, who was very far away.

"Hurry up and run back!" As he flew towards Wei Qing, he roared loudly.

When the shattered rocks tumbled down, Wei Qing was already stunned, and at this moment, she was simply unable to hear what Xiao Qingqian was shouting about.

Seeing that a rock the size of a soccer ball was about to hit her, Xiao Qingqian anxiously turned around and protected her in his embrace.

"Bang!"

Rocks rolled down the valley, producing a dull echo.

Wei Qing was so scared that her face turned pale, and her whole body shivered like a sieve.

Xiao Qingqian did not care to ask if she was alright, and directly carried her and flew towards the carriage.

The suspenseful hearts of all the hidden guards dropped.

"Your Highness, it looks like we won't be able to make it before nightfall. It would be better to retreat!" Chen Cheng looked at the mountain road that was just cleared out once again filled with shattered rocks, and the rolling dark clouds made his suggestion.

"Retreat first!"

After giving the order, the entire group quickly retreated back along the same path.

Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing's hands, which were still bleeding, and his expression was as cold as winter.

He ungently grabbed Wei Qing's hand, took out the medicine, and was about to help her bandage her wound, but Wei Qing removed her hand.

"Wei Qing, did your heart get eaten by a dog?"

Wei Qing blinked, "Even if I die, I don't need you to pity me!"

The veins on his forehead were stretched taut with anger, and the strength in his hand that was holding the bottle increased.

"That kind of thing wasn't done by a woman at all!"

"In the face of danger, men and women are the same!" Wei Qing retaliated against her with an imposing manner that she did not lose.

Xiao Qingqian only felt the pain on his forehead become more and more intense. He rubbed his forehead with all his might and angrily placed the bottle on the table, "Do your best!"

Wei Qing glared at him, took the medicine bottle and started to bandage it.

Seeing her baring her teeth, Xiao Qingqian grabbed her leg again.

Wei Qing was startled, and completely subconsciously kicked him.

"Wei Qing!"

This roar was filled with anger. In this rainy weather, everyone couldn't help but shiver.

"What are you doing?"

"Weren't you smashed by a rock just now? "Let's see if there's anything wrong!"

Wei Qing replied with an "Oh" and slowed her voice, "I'll watch it in a while."
