Chapter 151: Go Get Her

Chapter 151

After boarding the carriage, Qin Zhao removed her golden armor and remained in a slim black and red robe.

To pass the boring time during the journey, Qin Zhao set up a chessboard and casually played a game of black and white chess.

Huo Jun noticed her distraction and asked, "Your Highness, do you have something on your mind?"

Qin Zhao replied, "I am waiting for someone. I wonder if she will come."

At the city gate, Yu Qingzhu hurriedly arrived carrying a package, only to find that the imperial princess's expedition team had already gone far ahead.

She watched the diminishing figures with a helpless sigh.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came, "Miss Yu Qingzhu, is that you?"

Yu Qingzhu looked up and addressed the woman dressed in black armor, "Yes, it's me."

"I am Ling Yuan. I am here on the orders of Her Highness, the imperial princess, waiting for you here. Her Highness said that if you wish to go to the northwest border with her, then come with me."

Without hesitation, Yu Qingzhu replied, "I will go with you."

Ling Yuan led Yu Qingzhu to the small carriage that Qin Zhao had prepared in advance.

As Ling Yuan drove, they caught up with the main army's progress in the outskirts, but were stopped by the guards.

One of the soldiers drew his sword and aimed it at Ling Yuan, saying, "This is the imperial princess's carriage. Others should step aside!"

Not wanting to argue with the soldiers, Ling Yuan said, "Step aside!"

The soldiers exchanged glances and reluctantly stepped back.

Ling Yuan continued driving forward and approached Qin Zhao. She reported, "Your Highness, I have safely escorted Miss Yu."

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Very well."

Yu Qingzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Qin Zhao, "I apologize for being late. I obtained my master's permission only this morning and needed time to pack my belongings."

"It's good that you're here."

"Did you know I would come?"

"I had a hunch. After all, my senior sister treats me so well. How could she bear to let me go to the battlefield alone?"

"I didn't expect you to be so good at reading people."

Qin Zhao gestured for Yu Qingzhu to come and sit in her carriage. "This carriage has been modified for greater comfort."

Yu Qingzhu did not refuse.

After entering the carriage, Yu Qingzhu, Qin Zhao discreetly surveyed the interior and felt surrounded by a group of beautiful women with distinct styles. It gave her a sense of being enveloped in happiness.

The expedition team traveled during the day and rested at campsites during the night, advancing at a speed of one hundred miles per day.

It would take approximately twenty-one days to reach the northwest border.

On the seventh day, during a midday nap, Qin Zhao was awakened by the jolting carriage. She opened her eyes and asked, "Cong Han, what's happening?"

After Cong Han got off the carriage to check, she reported, "There's a cliff ahead. Due to a rockslide, the carriage cannot pass for now. We need to clear the debris, which may take about an hour."

Qin Zhao said, "Perfect timing. My back is a bit uncomfortable. I'll get off and take a walk. You don't need to follow."

"Huo Jun reminded, "Your Highness, please be safe."

Huo Jun said, "Your Highness, let me go with you. You said I should stay by your side, and this time should be no exception."

Qin Zhao replied, "You stay here. This place needs you to be in command."

With her other hand, she tried to pry Huo Jun's fingers open.

Little did she know that Huo Jun wouldn't let go.

Qin Zhao narrowed her eyes, and a struggle ensued between her and Huo Jun.

Both of them were strong, refusing to yield to the other!

Suddenly, Qin Zhao said, "If you don't let go, I'll tell everyone how good your butt feels!"

Everyone: "..."

Huo Jun was shocked by this outrageous statement, and her grip involuntarily loosened.

Qin Zhao seized the opportunity and pulled her hand back.

Huo Jun wanted to ask how Qin Zhao knew how her butt felt, but by the time she looked, Qin Zhao had already escaped!

Everyone bombarded her with questions, "Miss Huo, is what Your Highness said true?"

Cong Han even said, "Can I also touch it?"

She was glared at by Shen Xue.

Huo Jun withdrew her hand, feeling sulky.

Huo Jun remained expressionless as he replied, "Your Highness is talking nonsense, but it's indeed true. After all, I have been practicing martial arts for years...

Qin Zhao took advantage of the distraction and slipped to the side of the road, surveying his surroundings to ensure there was no one around.

He found a tree and tied a hemp rope to it.

Using a rappelling technique, he descended to the bottom of the cliff.

For the past few days, Qi Yan Su Luo followed Zi Tan's medical advice and stayed motionless in bed.

Bored, she gazed at the bamboo forest outside the wooden window.

A butterfly fluttered its way into the room.

Qi Yan Su Luo cautiously extended her hand, and the butterfly unexpectedly landed on her palm.

She maintained her posture, not daring to move, afraid of scaring away the butterfly.

But after a few moments, the butterfly flapped its wings and took off.

Reluctant to part with her newfound companion, Qi Yan Su Luo couldn't help but stand up, attempting to catch the butterfly.

Suddenly, she realized that her thighs were moving!

Furthermore, there was no pain similar to a fracture.

Qi Yan Su Luo tried getting off the bed, standing up, and to her surprise, she was able to stand.

It indicated that her thighs were intact...

Qi Yan Su Luo felt puzzled. Why would Zi Tan deceive her?
