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.
