Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character Wants to Live

Chapter 142 My 26 Male Servant 17

Yao Shu was agile and leaped onto the tall, strong horse of the reddish color. She held the unsheathed long sword tightly in her right hand, raised it and shouted, "All the soldiers, follow me to the battle!"

"Follow His Majesty to the battle!"

"Follow His Majesty to the battle!"

The tall and mighty soldiers below shouted in unison with high morale. The determination in their eyes gave Yao Shu more confidence.

Dai Honglun, the great general standing beside him, said to Yao Shu, "Your Majesty, the time has come."

"Yes." Yao Shu glanced at everyone and shouted, "Sisters, let's go!"

Yao Shu pulled the reins, and the strong horse followed Yao Shu out of the palace. The soldiers behind her carried armor and held weapons in their hands and followed her.

After leaving the palace, the wide streets outside were crowded with people, and they were all amazed when they saw Yao Shu.

"Is this the emperor? He looks much younger than I imagined."

"Hush, be careful, you may lose your head."

"Do we need to kneel? But we don't know how to salute."

"It shouldn't be necessary. Look, the emperor didn't react."

"..."

Yao Shu heard the discussions of the crowd below, but did not take their words seriously.

Ordinary people only think about having enough food and clothing, but they have to argue with the lower class people even for such a small matter. It must be too hard for the lower class people.

Leaving the capital, the huge army marched along the mountain road.

The sun was scorching as everyone headed south. Yao Shu had an independent tent but also the same food as every other soldier.

When you are hungry, eat dry food; when you are thirsty, drink water; when you feel smelly, take a bath when you pass by the river.

When we arrived at a large river on the southern border, we found it was overgrown with weeds and full of mosquitoes.

Yao Shu slapped him on the face, then moved her hand away. Blood beads appeared on the palm of her hand, along with black mosquito marks.

General Dai Honglun frowned and drove away mosquitoes with his hands: "How could that damn girl Xingnu bear the discomfort?"

"Go and call Doctor Da." Yao Shu said to Wu Qingjiao behind her.

Wu Qingjiao clasped his fists and said, "Yes." He dismounted and turned to a carriage, "Dr. Da."

"Hey, I'm here."

Da Xiuzhong was sweating all over. He opened the curtain and walked out of the carriage. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve when he got off the carriage.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Lieutenant Wu?" Da Xiuzhong lamented that the weather in the south was really hot.

"His Majesty is looking for you." Wu Qingjiao smiled secretly when he saw that the old woman couldn't stand the heat.

Da Xiuzhong's mouth twitched. Why did this girl ask for a beating so badly? Da Xiuzhong snorted, carrying a medical box on his back and walked to the front of the team to find Yao Shu.

Yao Shu had already dismounted and was standing by the rushing river, thinking about how to proceed.

People in ancient times relied on steep mountains and fast-flowing rivers as boundaries.

But it would definitely take a lot of time to go around, and there is no guarantee that the Chu soldiers would not ambushes them.

The Chu State was weak and its monarch was incompetent, but the soldiers still defended the border, even though they didn't have much food.

"Your Majesty." Da Xiuzhong called her, Yao Shu turned around and asked, "Oh... Doctor Da, you are here, I want to ask if you have any herbs to drive away parasites?

It can repel mosquitoes and insects. I am worried that these insects are poisonous, and it will be difficult to deal with the plague if they are infected."

Da Xiuzhong frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I remember that mugwort can be found everywhere. Your Majesty can ask me to take people to look for it."

"Okay, take a few soldiers to pick them, and I will slow down the carriage to make it easier for you to travel."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Da Xiuzhong bowed and took his leave, then selected a few soldiers to go into the bushes to look for mugwort together.

Yao Shu looked at the river and then at the steep cliffs all around.

It would take at least two months to travel around the river from north to south, but there was a big mountain blocking the way and it was impossible to move forward quickly.

"Your Majesty, there is a caravan passing by behind us. They look like people from Chu and we have captured them now."

A soldier came hurriedly to report, and Yao Shu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is the rich merchant from that caravan?"

"In the back."

"Take me there."

"Yes."

Yao Shu followed the soldiers to the back of the team, where a beautiful and wealthy woman had her hands handcuffed by Wu Qingjiao.

Behind Wu Qingjiao, there were several handsome thin men and strong tall women who were roughly pinned to the ground by the soldiers.

When Wu Qingjiao saw Yao Shu, his eyes became serious and he reported to her: "Your Majesty, I see that these people are behaving strangely. I guess they must have other intentions."

The rich lady was so upset when she heard this that she complained in standard Qi dialect: "Your Majesty, I am just passing by and I have no intention."

Yao Shu half-knelt in front of the rich woman and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

"I am Suo Luangang, a native of Qi."

Suo Luangang stammered as he said his name, and also made it clear where he was from.

Yao Shu remained calm and reached out to pat Suo Luangang's delicate face: "You don't look like a Qi person. Do you know that you are deceiving the king?"

Suo Luangang was so frightened when he heard this that he trembled all over, "I...I..."

Yao Shu raised her eyebrows, stood up and said to Wu Qingjiao: "Detain her caravan and take her to the war with you."

When Wu Qingjiao heard Yao Shu's order, he immediately took out a rope and tied up Suo Luangang.

Suo Luangang had been living a life of luxury for a long time, and the rough ropes made her skin turn red.

Suo Luangang widened his eyes and cursed: "Hey, hey, hey! You warrior are so vulgar!

Even if I am a prisoner, you can't treat me like this, hiss - it hurts me."

Wu Qingjiao glanced at Suo Luangang and easily carried her on his shoulders.

Suo Luangang's eyes were spinning, and in a few seconds she saw a long team behind her. It was so imposing that Suo Luangang couldn't help swallowing.

Wu Qingjiao placed Suo Luangang in front of the horse's back, and sat at the back holding the reins while riding.

Suo Luangang leaned on Wu Qingjiao's chest, with Dai Honglun and Yao Shu leading the team in front.

Liang Shunju also reported to Yao Shu: "Your Majesty, this caravan has a lot of coarse rice and pickled meat."

Yao Shu nodded and said, "I understand. Take all of these away."

Liang Shunju hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to lock up the house... and pay the money?"

Yao Shu turned her head and stared at Liang Shunju and said, "Do you think I look like a bandit?"

Liang Shunju was terrified by the stare, and quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I just think..."

Seeing that Yao Shu continued to stare at her, Liang Shunju stopped talking. Yao Shu nodded with satisfaction, got on her horse and continued on her way.

Liang Shunju wiped the sweat off her forehead and wondered why His Majesty suddenly became so terrifying.

But isn't this really un-bandit-like?

……

The group walked for several days.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!”

Suo Luangang was making a fuss in the back, and Wu Qingjiao covered Suo Luangang's mouth, so Suo Luangang could only make grunting sounds.

Yao Shu let out a "whoa", stopped her horse, turned around and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Wu Qingjiao withdrew his hand. Suo Luangang took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I know a shortcut. I'll tell you. Can you let me go?"

"A shortcut?" Yao Shu rode up to Wu Qingjiao, looked at Suo Luangang with interest and asked, "Okay, then you tell me."
