C62 (1/2)

By the time the sun rose in the east, there were already several hundred people standing orderly in the west gate of Redbud City.

A neat square line stood at the gate, and all the soldiers were ready to go.

The golden sunlight gradually passed through the clouds and sprinkled onto the ground. Qu Xue'er, who had arrived late on a red horse, quickly appeared.

A thin cloud of dust rose up behind them as they ran through the area.

At the front, General Sikong was already mounted on his horse. His mighty figure did not have the slightest trace of impatience.

Seeing Qu Xue'er coming over from her horse, she immediately dismounted and bowed.

Qu Xue'er looked down at him.

The youngest general had a handsome face and a robust build. His entire body was emitting an oppressive aura, and it was truly a sight to behold.

”No need, get up.”

After receiving the order, General Sikong stood up and somersaulted onto the back of the horse.

”There's no time to lose, let's hurry up and set off!”

Because she woke up late, she had already wasted a bit of time. The journey was originally a day's worth of travel, so she had to hurry up and set off.

Qu Xue'er was wearing somewhat tight clothes today, revealing her slender body, which was riding on a horse. She wore a cloak on her back.

Her usually haughty self gave off a domineering aura.

General Sikong, who was beside her, could not help but give her two extra glances.

Last night's matter had already spread throughout the palace. I never would have thought that the high and mighty Grand Princess was actually a lovesick.

However, that Godly Doctor Gu, General Sikong's mind once again appeared Gu Xiao's usual sloppy look.

Everyone in the palace knew that every time Godly Doctor Gu came to the palace, he would tease some of the better-looking palace maid s.

In addition, Gu Xiao usually did not work properly, drinking and gambling, thus their impression of him was extremely bad.

Why would the Grand Princess set their eyes on people like him?

The Qu Xue'er up ahead, however, had long ago ignored the other people's thoughts. Her heart was burning with anxiety, yet there were so many soldiers, hence her pace was very slow.

”Howl ~ ~”

Finally, it was noon. Qu Xue'er could not resist and called for everyone to stop and take advantage of everyone's time to rest.

He told General Sikong about his thoughts.

”No! Grand princess, the Emperor has sent this humble subject to ensure your safety. If you dare to act rashly …”

Seeing his determined face, Qu Xue'er was inwardly furious. She didn't know what was going on with Gu Xiao.

This person was still so shy.

”How about this, you go with me and have your assistant general lead them forward.”

Qu Xue'er pointed to a suntanned man, and when the man saw that the spear was aimed at him, he immediately lowered his head.

”This …”

General Sikong was momentarily in a dilemma.

”Whether I want to or not, I can wait. The ones who get caught can't wait,” Qu Xue'er said with a sharp look in her eyes.

”Let me tell you, the Godly Doctor Gu has saved this princess' life before, and he was even selected as the genius doctor by the father. If something were to happen to him, do you think that you can take on this responsibility?”

When General Sikong saw that she had a temper, he had also heard of the Grand Princess's usual ways, and was even more clear of the emperor's doting toward her.

Indeed, if he did not agree with her, it would be his fault if something bad happened to Grand Princess.

But he must not leave without an owner. If he left with him, what would happen to all the soldiers?
