The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 134 Going to Beijing

The carriage had to stop at the border of Anqing County. Two more carriages were added to carry the three sisters of the Lin family, so Qingyin, Lin Mengya and the others had to separate.

The leader of the army escorting the concubines was a young general with rosy lips and white teeth, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was tall and handsome, but now his fine eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"At this speed, how long will it take to reach the capital?"

"Oh, General Xu, you know, these beauties are all rich daughters, how can they compare to the soldiers in the 8th Squadron? You will definitely not be able to do it at the speed of the army." The one who advised him was an older middle-aged man, with a flattering and gleaming look in his eyes.

The one who came to escort the beautiful girls from Anqing County this time was the newcomer in the capital, General Xu Yili. He came from a family of civil officials, but he was the top scorer in military affairs. Moreover, he won a beautiful battle in his first battle and became a popular young general. He was worthy of being the son of Minister Xu. Thinking of this deputy commander assisting General Xu in escorting the beautiful girls, Lu Chengxuan looked at Xu Yili even more enthusiastically.

Xu Yili frowned slightly. It was his rival Lu Zheyuan who tricked him into sending the concubines. Lu Zheyuan and he were both new talents valued by the court, and both of them took two different paths in a dramatic way. Lu Zheyuan took the path of a top scholar in literature and became Lu Shilang, a fourth-rank official from a military family. It can be said that he was talented. Thinking of his old rival who had calmly tricked him and made him come to Anqing County to escort the concubines, Xu Yili felt angry and upset. Seeing these concubines who were tired even while sitting in the carriage made him even more upset, and he couldn't help cursing inwardly.

Damn, even if he goes to the border to fight, it's still more relaxing than escorting some ladies. Stupid Lu Zheyuan, I'll make him pay when he goes back, that dead smiling tiger.

At the door, there was a knock on Xu Yili's carriage.

"What's wrong again?" Xu Yili pushed the door open impatiently and looked at the soldier knocking on the door with gloomy eyes, scaring the soldier knocking on the door so much that he shrank back.

"General, the second young lady of County Magistrate Lin Shengxi asked if she could let her maid go out for a while to pick some food." The soldier finished his words quickly as if he was in a hurry to spit out beads, then lowered his head, not daring to look at the general's face again.

Xu Yili, who was annoyed by various concubines along the way, couldn't help but curse, "Fuck, another arrogant young lady."

Xu Yili had seen many arrogant young ladies who were proud of humiliating the maids around them. What was so great about the maids around the young lady? They must only know how to serve. If they encountered rabbits or snakes in the wild, they would be scared away. Forget it. If she didn't let her maid go, the young lady would not know how to torture her maid.

Xu Yili thought for a moment and said, "Let her go. Send a soldier to keep an eye on her and bring her back safely."

"Yes, General."

Here, Qingyin didn't know that Zeng Li felt sorry for herself and wanted to find some fresh fruit, so she was framed by the leading general as a vicious lady who abused her maid. However, thinking of Zeng Li's kung fu and the expectation in her eyes, she still asked the surrounding guards to pass on a message.

After receiving the message, Zeng Li happily walked out holding an empty package. The soldier sent by Xu Yili happened to be the one who delivered the message. Looking at the maid who had added tasks to her, he felt a little unhappy, but he did not show it on a thin (? ) maid, and followed Zeng Li silently.

Zeng Li also let him follow her, probably because it was the order from the leading general. She walked forward. In front of her was a dense forest. The sky was not too dark yet. Zeng Li knew at a glance that there was nothing she wanted nearby. She walked faster and faster. Zeng Li, who had lived in the mountains for a long time, slid freely in the forest like a fish into river water.

The soldier following behind her was secretly shocked. No, the one walking so freely in the forest was just an ordinary maidservant of a young lady. The soldier who was chasing Zeng Li closely and barely following behind her was gasping for air as he looked at Zeng Li who was picking fruits casually without even a blush on her face. He was deeply confused. He knew with his own imagination that this maidservant was abnormal, and he also had a strong sense of foreboding.

An hour later, the soldier dragged his tired body and looked at Zeng Li who was running fast in front of him with his body stuffed with fruits. He fell into deep despair, as if he had returned to the hard life during training.

Finally they returned to the camp. Unlike Zeng Li who returned with a full load, the soldiers following her who were exhausted breathed a sigh of relief and were also wondering whether they should report this matter to the general.

Qing Yin looked at the pile of fresh wild fruits Zeng Li had taken out and said, "Miss, the good things in this forest are quite good. These wild grapes are really well grown, sweet and big. Miss, please try some."

Qingyin laughed, "Ah Li, just call me Ah Rou here, and call me Miss outside."

"That won't do. Miss A-Li is the same to them all. In my heart, it's enough to be A-Li." Zeng Li stared at Qing Yin with sparkling eyes, his expression sincere.

Qingyin stroked Zeng Li's furry head and stopped discussing the previous topic. "Ali picked too many fruits. Pick some for the eldest and third sisters, and distribute the rest to the nearby soldiers."

Zeng Li looked at the fruits spread out on the table and was reluctant to share any with the two young ladies. However, seeing Qing Yin's determined eyes, she obediently gave two portions of the fruits that Qing Yin didn't like to eat to Lin Mengya and Lin Heyu. She picked up the rest and gave them to the surrounding soldiers. Not to mention how surprised the other soldiers were, the one who was most familiar with the fruits was the one following behind Zeng Li. Looking at the several fresh big fruits in his arms, he showed some embarrassment on his face and said a few words of gratitude. Zeng Li didn't care at all and went back home after giving them away.

"You said that the maid picked a lot of wild fruits. She is very strong and has great skills. She even shared some fruits with you?" Xu Yili was surprised, but the facts were in front of him. Looking at the juicy wild fruits in front of him, Xu Yili recognized one of them. It was a bunch of red thorny fruits, exuding a fragrant aroma, and it looked sweet at first glance.

"Yes, the general's maid's kung fu is really amazing. She walked into the depths of the forest without any sign of fatigue. Her young lady even shared some fruits with several of us." The black-faced soldier looked at the fruits on the table reluctantly. Although the soldiers escorting the concubines were not hungry, they definitely did not eat well, especially fresh fruits were rare.

Seeing the soldier's greedy face, Xu Yili couldn't help but kick him, "Fuck, it's just a little fruit and you're greedy. Would I steal your fruit?"

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that the general would want to try something new?" The black-faced soldier was not afraid of Xu Yili. He was a soldier led by Xu Yili, so he was naturally familiar with him.

Xu Yili drove away the soldier who was amusing him and began to have some favorable feelings towards the second young lady of the Lin family. He also realized that he had misunderstood the young lady before, but he was also curious about why the young lady had a maid with superb martial arts skills by her side.

But this was not something he had to worry about. The identity of each concubine had been checked thousands of times by government officials, so there would definitely be no mistakes. He only needed to ensure that these concubines arrived in the capital safely and on time.
