Chapter 136 Your Highness, I am late.
She didn't expect that Wu Ziyan was quite sensible. Since that was the case, there was no need for them to hide in the mountains. They simply walked openly back onto the official road.
But they had no horses for this trip and could only walk. Wu Ziyan was tired and sleepy, so A Qing went up to help her. Qi Ersa sneered from the side: "I didn't expect the Wu Dynasty to have a useless princess like you."
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that either."
Her reply ended the conversation abruptly. Who would be so self-deprecating, especially someone from the royal family? She had no backbone or dignity whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Qi Zeyun of the Xiaorong Kingdom was preparing to set off for the Wu Dynasty. Even at the fastest pace, it would take five or six days, not to mention that he would have to pretend to bring some things with him. It was estimated that the journey would take about ten days.
Qi Zexuan was also going to the Wu Dynasty to meet his allies and, incidentally, sabotage his older sister's plans.
He just didn't expect that his eldest sister would actually back down and cooperate with that useless princess of the Wu Dynasty. She wanted to see what kind of three heads and six arms that princess really had.
Qi Zexuan only traveled with his trusted confidants, so he was very fast, almost half the time faster than Qi Zeyun.
Wu Ziyan and his group walked under the blazing sun. Although the late autumn sun was no longer strong, walking under it was still tiring.
"My dear mother, second aunt, great-grandmother, are all of you Xiao Rong known for your endurance? We've been walking for three or four hours without taking a break. Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion?"
"You're already exhausted after walking so far? Lu Aza, carry her and keep going!"
Wu Ziyan curled her lip, thinking that she couldn't let herself get tired. She casually pointed to the taller and stronger-looking person next to Qiersa: "She looks stronger. Lu Aza tried to kill me before, and I'm scared!"
Zirsa frowned: "Coward! You, go carry her!"
Her subordinates were extremely reluctant, but in the end they still squatted down. Wu Ziyan jumped onto his back and felt much more relaxed. The man carried her very easily. He never expected that this princess would be so fragile!
Finally reaching the main road, Wu Ziyan was still puzzled as to why she hadn't encountered any of the people her elder sister had sent to find her.
Just as she thought of this, the squad of guards sent by her eldest sister came down from another hilltop and appeared opposite them.
After exchanging bewildered glances, both sides couldn't help but utter a question: "Huh?"
What they saw was their fourth princess lying on the enemy's back? Seems like she's being treated pretty well, huh?
When Wu Ziyan saw that it was someone familiar, she waved happily and said, "It's alright, it's alright, we're all on the same side now!"
Everyone:?
Why were they made to stay up all night searching the entire mountain?
This fourth princess is something else! What kind of magic potion did she use to make the spies from the Little Rong Kingdom carry her to the main road to find them?
"Thank you for your hard work. Put me down now. Since we've rejoined the troops, let's hurry and catch up with my older sister and the others. I'll explain everything to them later."
"I trust you, but you should still let my men carry it!" Though he said he trusted them, his hands were already gripping the scabbards of his scimitars.
If anything seems amiss, I can draw my scimitar at any moment and sever her head!
She swallowed hard: "Then how about Lu Aza carries it instead?"
"What kind of trouble are you trying to cause now, woman?"
"No, no, I just saw that she was tired."
"She's not tired!"
Zirsa's subordinates: ? I'm not tired, you're so aloof, you come here!
After a brief stalemate, the sound of galloping hooves could be heard in the distance. Chu Qiu, seeing the standoff between the two sides from afar, reined in his horse and let out a shout!
Then he slowly rode his horse between the two groups and, seeing the situation, couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
When Wu Ziyan saw that it was their strongest fighter who had arrived, regardless of whether the curved blade was about to cut off her head, she struggled to jump off the man's back and ran towards Chu Qiu.
"Stop her!"
"Don't worry, we're all on the same side, so don't do anything. I'm just eager to see my sweetheart and give him a hug."
No one expected that she would say such shameless things in public, and even women would blush upon hearing it.
When Chu Qiu heard her speak so loudly, he froze on his horse, feeling a chill run down his spine. He had imagined the scene when they met, but he never expected it to be like this.
Her eldest sister's squad of guards were personally trained and were not to be underestimated. As long as there were no unrelated people interfering, they could do their job without restraint.
Wu Ziyan ran faster than a rabbit and reached Chu Qiu's horse. Chu Qiu looked at him from his horse and he seemed to be just a tiny little thing.
Having escaped from the clutches of the Xiao Rong Kingdom, she didn't seem very afraid; instead, she looked at him with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
She stretched out her hands and winked at him: "Quickly, pull me onto the horse!"
Chu Qiu's mind hadn't even processed what was happening, but his muscles were already working. He grabbed Wu Ziyan, who seemed to have become lighter, probably from the suffering and hunger he had endured at the border.
Thinking of this, Wu Ziyan had already sat down in front of Chu Qiu, stuck out her tongue and smiled at the two groups behind her: "I'll ride ahead first. You guys take good care of our friendly delegation, understand?"
The guards, hearing "hospitality" meant "treat them well," and rushed forward with their knives to fight them. Ah Qing also hid among the crowd.
They quickly and without causing any harm to anyone by binding all those people. Qiersa cursed loudly, but Wu Ziyan and Chu Qiu had already ridden their horses forward quite a distance.
"I've already told you that we've reached an agreement with your fourth princess, so why are you still arresting us?"
"But the Fourth Prince said he would treat you well."
"Damn it! That woman's a real sly one!"
"Whether or not a contract has truly been reached with His Highness can be discussed once we enter the city. Until then, we will not harm you in the slightest, simply to prevent any unforeseen changes from occurring."
Look, look! How polite!
At this moment, Zirsa and his guards had already cursed her a thousand times in their hearts!
Chu Qiu only rode with Wu Ziyan for a short distance, until the figures behind them became as small as ants, at which point the horse slowly came to a stop.
"Your Highness, I am late."
"How come you've become so respectful again after so long? I didn't expect you to come. Shouldn't you have stayed in the city to protect Bo You and Zi Liang?"
"Your Highness's life is of utmost importance to me."
"No, no, no, you should put your own life first, do you understand?"
After she finished speaking, Chu Qiu fell silent. He thought she would be more talkative this time, but she was still a quiet person.
The horse was moving slowly. She turned her head to look at Chu Qiu, who seemed a little darker. Perhaps it was because he had been traveling for many days and his face was covered in dust, and he hadn't had time to wash up.
