Chapter 161 Female General (17)
Chapter 161 Female General (17)
The two chatted while playing chess.
Time passes quietly amid laughter and joy.
I was surprised to find that it was already dark outside, the sun had already set.
"Princess, General."
The maid's voice sounded outside the car.
"General Gao sent someone to tell us that the post station is not far ahead. Princess, please wait patiently for a while, and then you can stop at the post station and have a good rest."
"Yes, I already know about this."
She added, "Please convey this to General Gao. The matters concerning the rest at the post station will be handed over to him. I rest assured. Thank you for troubling the general."
Shi Yue smiled secretly. He thought that making him do these trivial things would bore him to death.
"Princess, it's getting late. If you are tired, you can take a rest. The post station is almost here. I will go down to take a look."
Yinghua did not force her to stay, but just said to her, "I am very happy that the general talked with me today to relieve my boredom."
She hesitated, anticipation in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
Meeting the princess's eager eyes that showed she was still unsatisfied, Shi Yue understood what was going on, and she clasped her fists and bowed.
"If the princess needs me, you can send someone to call me at any time. I will definitely respond."
After the conversation, both parties were satisfied.
He pulled down the curtain and got off the carriage, mounted the horse brought by the guards, and ran forward with his belly held high.
Hearing the noise behind him, Gao Ting turned around.
"Are you willing to come back?"
Her tone was sour, just like a bullied young wife waiting for her husband to come home at night.
Just one sentence made him go in many twists and turns.
Shi Yue laughed, "Well, the game of chess is over, and the conversation is over, so we have to come back."
He was choked by her indifference, "There's an inn just ahead. Do you want me to arrange for you two to live next door? How about close protection?"
"not so good."
After hearing her answer, I thought she knew what was wrong, but I didn't expect the next sentence to be even more infuriating.
"For personal protection, they have to live in the same room. How can living next door to each other be considered personal protection?"
I tease him on purpose and say things that go against his opinion and that he doesn't like to hear.
"you!"
He was not as eloquent as her, and was always easily distracted by just a few words.
"Shi Yue, I'm telling you, forget it!"
He simply threw the can down the drain, "I'll arrange the housing myself, and I'll put you next door to me."
A smug look as if saying "I'm just being shameless, what can you do to me?"
Of course Shi Yue would not do anything, so he would not argue with him. He was so old, yet he was so childish.
"Okay, okay, General Gao is so powerful that he even controls where others sleep. This scares me."
She acted frightened and moved closer to him to show him.
Afraid that he couldn't see clearly, she steered the horse closer to him.
Gao Ting's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly came close to him.
He rarely had the opportunity to be so close to her.
She lowered her head slightly and tilted her face up to make a funny, playful expression at him.
But in his eyes, it was very cute and vivid.
My heart was beating very fast, and the speed was obviously much faster. Afraid that she would hear the deafening sound, I hurriedly took a step back.
I felt upset after I returned it.
It was rare for her to approach him so actively.
Like and fear.
When he faced this person, he was always so conflicted, impatient, and always had trouble handling the relationship between them.
Not decent, not gentle, not generous.
I can never compare to that person's ease.
Gao Ting was actually always curious, why? Why was it that the scene of Yuansheng and Shiyue together was always beautiful and romantic, like a painting, and everyone who saw them said they were a perfect match.
But when it was his turn, something was completely wrong.
If he was just talking about things on the battlefield, he could talk endlessly and eloquently.
But in private, he would be at a loss as to what to do when anything personal was involved between them.
Sometimes it would even irritate her, making their pathetic friendship even worse.
So, he didn't understand why Yuansheng could do it but he couldn't.
What kind of person can be graceful and elegant in front of the woman he likes?
Gao Ting still doesn't understand love.
Of course, Shi Yue understood less than him.
Love is not a matter of one person's chaos.
But it will definitely not be as calm and respectful as the two of them.
The post station had already been notified by Gao Ting's men who had been sent there at full speed that the princess had condescended to stop here to rest and asked them to be ready to welcome her.
By the time their main force arrived, everything was ready and they were ready to move in.
The princess was still weak and couldn't hold out after the long journey. After a simple dinner, she went back to her room to rest.
Shi Yue and the others would not be happy when the princess was not feeling well.
The group of people settled down early.
It was four o'clock in the morning and everyone was fast asleep.
The guards patrolling outside did not notice the restless noises in the post station.
You can guard against external enemies, but you cannot guard against internal traitors.
An underground storage room was opened, and people with black clothes and masked faces came out one after another.
Soon they surrounded every corner of the post station.
Shi Yue was a light sleeper. After years of living in the military camp, she was used to waking up at the slightest noise.
Before she had slept for long, she heard unusual footsteps.
Many people are walking.
He was very fast and his steps were light. He didn't look like a servant at the post station, but more like a martial artist.
No, there's an assassin!
She turned over and slept in her clothes, which made it easier for her to move around at night.
"boom--"
Hand in hand.
As soon as he went out, he bumped into a man in black face to face.
She reacted quickly, picked up the sword in her hand and rushed forward.
"Gao Ting, are you dead asleep? Come out now!"
Next door to her was Gao Ting, and as soon as she finished speaking, a man was thrown out from the door.
"You want to attack this general without considering your own abilities."
He heard the noise a few minutes later than she did.
People have sneaked into his room. If he is not taught a lesson, everyone will think that his achievements are in vain.
"Go find the princess."
Shi Yue gave a final kick and solved the immediate problem.
The two men were worried that the people on the princess' side could not hold on, so they rushed over quickly.
Sure enough, there was chaos outside.
The men in black clearly had no intention of backing down, and it seemed that disguise was not important compared to completing the mission.
The number of people on the other side was much larger than she had imagined.
It turned out that the people who attacked her and Gao Ting were just a diversionary tactic, trying to delay them so that they could focus on dealing with the princess's guards.
Their target is the princess!
He didn't bother to argue with the guards at all. He acted ruthlessly and decisively, rushing in like crazy.
Shi Yue and others were simply overwhelmed. No matter how capable she was, she could not resist the other party's internal and external cooperation.
There is a spy in the post station.
The princess is in danger inside!
They were fighting at the door, but the people in the house were frightened by the unusual movement at the window.
Since they couldn't get in through the main door, they had to break in through the window.
