Chapter 974 Ambush and Ambition

"Thank you, sir." The handsome young man said his thanks, then retracted his body into the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lowered again.

The old man turned his head slightly, glanced at the carriage, and whispered in his mouth: "These two young men are so handsome, but it's a pity that the makeup on them is a bit thicker."

"Sir, we will arrive at Qingyuan County in half a day." The handsome young man who just retreated into the carriage said to another young man in the carriage. This young man is even more handsome than the young man who just asked the question, with picturesque features. , fair skin and good figure.

"We're finally here. I'm exhausted from riding the carriage all the way." The more handsome young man in the carriage stretched and rubbed his shoulders.

If Wu Fan were here at this time, he would definitely recognize these two people. These two handsome young masters are none other than Zhao Qi, the seventh princess of Yanfeng Kingdom, and her personal maid Xiao Qing. The two are still in harmony with each other at this time. Wu Fan dressed in men's clothing when they first met.

"Sir, when we get to Qingyuan County, Mr. Wu will be shocked when he sees you." Xiao Qing said to Zhao Qi with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, I can't wait to see his expression when he sees me. It will be very interesting." Zhao Qi also said with a smile.

"Young master, you have traveled thousands of miles and gone through so much trouble to come to Qingyuan County to see Mr. Wu. He will definitely be very moved," Xiao Qing said.

Zhao Qi's smiling face turned slightly red. She pinched Xiao Qing gently and said, "Xiao Nizi, what are you talking about? I didn't come to see him specially. I was just in the palace." I was bored and wanted to go out for a walk, so I happened to come to Qingyuan County. Who told Wu Fan to talk about Qingyuan County so well? Naturally, I wanted to come and have a look, but not just to see him. "

"Really? Young Master." Xiao Qing looked at Zhao Qi with a smile and said jokingly.

"Of course!" Zhao Qi argued loudly with a red face: "If you keep talking nonsense, be careful I'll beat you."

"I don't dare anymore, haha." Although Xiaoqing said she didn't dare, the smile on her face was still bright.

"You're still laughing, don't laugh." Zhao Qi's face seemed to be even redder, and she couldn't help but rush towards Xiao Qing, and the two of them started fighting together.

"Sir, I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare anymore." Xiaoqing couldn't stand being tickled by Zhao Qi, so she quickly begged for mercy.

"Humph, let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense." Zhao Qi sat up straight again, but the slapstick made her face even redder.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." Xiao Qing said quickly.

"That's pretty much it." Zhao Qi said with satisfaction.

"Sir, we came to Qingyuan County secretly like this. Your Majesty... If the master finds out, he will be very angry, right?" Xiao Qing stopped teasing Zhao Qi and said with a slightly worried look on his face.

"It's okay, my father loves me the most. It'll be okay." Zhao Qi said nonchalantly: "In growing up, this is the first time I have left the imperial capital for a long trip. The outside world is really big, don't you want to Look outside more?"

"I think so, but the rules in the palace cannot be broken." Xiao Qing said: "Besides, the world outside is much more chaotic than in the imperial capital. If the two of us run so far, it will be troublesome if we encounter bandits on the road. "

"Yes, the world outside is indeed very chaotic." The relaxed smile on Zhao Qi's face disappeared. She sighed and said, "If I hadn't come out to see for myself, I wouldn't have believed that there were so many refugees outside. I don’t even have enough to eat. When I get back to the palace, I will tell my father everything I saw on the way.”

Although Zhao Qi and Xiao Qing were "lucky" not to encounter bandits along the way, they did see a lot of refugees. Zhao Qi felt uncomfortable after seeing the miserable scenes with her own eyes. She wanted to help those refugees, but after all, her personal abilities were limited, so she could only keep everything she saw and heard along the way in her heart, and when she returned to the palace, she would tell her father about all this, so that the old emperor could carry out disaster relief and help these refugees. refugee.

Zhao Qi did not blame her father for being stupid because she saw so many refugees. She just felt that her father, like her, had been trapped in the palace and did not understand the real situation outside. They were deceived. As long as she told her father what she saw, her father would definitely provide relief to the people and save the current crisis.

When Zhao Qi and Xiao Qing were rushing to Qingyuan County in a carriage, not far from them, there was a large group of people lying in wait on both sides of the road, as if they were waiting for something. Most of these people were dressed in tatters. There are various weapons in hand.

"Boy, is the news you got true?" In the crowd, a burly man holding a sword in his hand asked a middle-aged man next to him.

"Brother, I just got this news not long ago, and I don't know if it's true." The middle-aged man next to him said with some embarrassment.

"You're not sure whether this news is true, so you asked me to bring my brothers here to ambush you?" the burly man said with some dissatisfaction.

"This... is something we can't believe. If the news is true, if we can kill the dog emperor's daughter, it will definitely be a big event that can make us famous. When the time comes, brother Your name will spread throughout the country, and other rebel forces will definitely come to join you. By then, brother, you will be the person who leads the most rebel forces in our Yanfeng Kingdom, and it will not be difficult to overthrow the rule of the Dog Emperor. "The middle-aged man said quickly.

"Well, what you said makes sense." The sturdy man thought about the prospects described by the middle-aged man, with a proud smile on his face.

If things really develop like this, he will definitely be the leader of all the rebel forces in Yanfeng Kingdom. By then, he will be strong enough to overthrow the rule of the imperial court and ascend to the position that everyone looks up to.

"Eldest brother, second brother, do you think it is true that the princess of the imperial court goes on a long trip without any guards by her side? Why do I think it is impossible?" The young man next to the two said with doubts on his face.

"That's what the news I got said. I don't know the specific situation." The middle-aged man said, "Maybe the princess got tired of staying in the palace and ran out secretly."

"The palace is heavily guarded. It wouldn't be easy for the princess to sneak out." The young man continued to question.

"I don't know about that. Maybe you can ask the princess when you see her later." The middle-aged man said.

"Okay, stop talking. According to the news, the princess's carriage will be arriving soon. Whether the news is true or not, won't we know after a while?" The burly man stopped the argument between the two. .

The middle-aged and young people stopped talking after hearing this, and looked at each other with unconvincing expressions.

Ta-ta-ta!

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves reached everyone's ears, and at the end of everyone's field of vision, a carriage was driving.

The carriage is coming!

The three of them looked at each other with surprise and expectation in their eyes.
