The black-bellied highness, the evil concubine

Chapter 47 Blocking the way
On the second day of August, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a mighty group of people and set off for Jiangcheng.

The emperor sent a thousand soldiers to escort him, and selected twenty elite imperial guards led by He Guangnian to protect His Highness the Crown Prince.Zhuge Jingyao clearly brought Wen Ran and Jian Qing with him, as for the people who secretly protected him, he didn't know how many there were.

"Brother Prince, do you think there are some important grievances in Jiangcheng? Otherwise, how could there be hailstorms in August for no reason, and there were two hailstorms in a row?" Wei Qing sat leisurely in casual clothes. Inside the carriage, he asked Zhuge Jingyao with a smile.

Wei Xiaohou had nothing to do in Xianling, so he begged his emperor's uncle to let him follow him. The emperor's uncle agreed for a while, and when His Royal Highness knew about it, the little prince had already followed In the carriage.

Fortunately, Wei Lan didn't go crazy with him, otherwise Wen Ran couldn't guarantee that she would not reveal her secrets after staying in front of Wei Lan for so long!

The prince didn't bring any attendants and maids with him, so he had to be served by two guards, Wen Ran and Jian Qing, who were also in the carriage. Listening to the young master's non-stop 'nagging', the two really I admire this young master.

Zhuge Jingyao raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Wen Ran. Wen Ran also had to find a way to shut up the too energetic young master.

"Young Lord, please use tea!" Wen Ran personally brewed a cup of fragrant honeysuckle tea and brought it to Young Lord.

The young master happily brought it over, and while tasting the tea, he couldn't stop praising Wen Ran: "Guard Lan, you are really good. Not only are you good at martial arts, but the tea you make is so delicious..."

"I think you talk too much, and your mouth is dry, so you think it's so delicious?" Zhuge Jingyao couldn't help but said after hearing the endless praise.

Wei Qing kept shaking his head and said, "That's not true, if Brother Prince doesn't believe it, just drink and see for yourself!"

Zhuge Jingyao raised his eyes, and Wen Ran had no choice but to make tea again.

To put it nicely, she is a first-class bodyguard of the third rank, but looking at it now, why does she feel more and more that she is just a 'servant' serving tea and water, and of course she is also responsible for the safety of His Highness.

Jian Qing also didn't understand, it's not that His Highness has never been out of the house before, even if he didn't bring a maid, he would bring a few servants with him anyway, but this time he didn't bring any of them, everything was left to her and Nineteen , Could it be that His Highness started to distrust those attendants around him because of what happened last time?
Wen Ran re-made a cup of tea, got up and sent it to His Highness the Crown Prince, who made His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage too spacious, Wen Ran had to move his legs more.

"How is it, does the crown prince think it's delicious?" Wei Qing watched Zhuge Jingyao take a sip, and immediately asked excitedly.

Zhuge Jingyao said indifferently: "It can't compare to the sixth brother's craftsmanship!"

Who in this world would dare to compete with His Royal Highness Xuan in making tea, and apart from the prince, I am afraid that no one has ever drunk the tea made by His Royal Highness.

"However, it's better than ordinary attendants!" Zhuge Jingyao slowly uttered another sentence.

Prince, are you trying to praise someone, or hurt him?
Wei Qing shrugged his shoulders towards Wen Ran and smiled exaggeratedly. Just when he wanted to speak again, he just heard the prince say coldly: "If you dare to say one more nonsense, I will immediately ask He Guangnian to send someone to arrest you." Throw it back to Xianling!"

Zhuge Jingyao's expression remained the same, what he said was definitely what he said.

Wei Qing immediately shut his mouth, not even daring to leave a single crack.

Jian Qing smiled in his heart, with Wei Xiaohou and Nineteen present, His Highness seems to be in a different mood from the past, it seems that this trip will be very interesting!

After five days of driving, everyone finally arrived in Hubei.

It only takes another day and a half to drive to Jiangcheng.

"Your Highness, there has been a mudslide ahead, and the road has been blocked. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in three to five days!" The person He Guangnian sent to investigate came back and reported.

The fragrance in the carriage was wafting, and Zhuge Jingyao was facing a difficult game of chess, thinking about where to put the next move seriously, not paying attention to what the soldier said just now.

When Wei Qing heard the news, he frowned in an extremely rare way, "It's such an unfortunate coincidence that the people in Jiangcheng are still waiting for us to save their lives!"

But at this time, blocking their way, this is a big joke from God!
Although Wei Qing is usually joking and not serious, he is still very serious when encountering such a life-threatening matter. You must know that Jiangcheng urgently needs their help now.

"Go and have a look!" Zhuge Jingyao said thoughtfully without even moving his eyebrows.

Wei Qing just wanted to ask who His Highness called, but in the blink of an eye, there was already one person missing in the carriage.

"Guard Lan's lightness skill is really amazing!" Wei Qing exclaimed.

Zhuge Jingyao immediately ordered to Jianqing: "Set camp on the spot!"

Jian Qing held his hand and said yes, and quickly got out of the carriage, passing on His Highness's order.

In less than half an hour, Wen Ran came back.

"Your Highness, I found out that it did rain yesterday, but it wasn't enough to wash down all the rocks in front of me!"

Hearing Wen Ran's words, Wei Qing was surprised and said, "Could it be..."

Wen Ran nodded, "My subordinates went up to check, and there are indeed traces of people moving the rocks artificially!"

If it wasn't for Wen Ran's Qinggong, how could anyone find out that someone had tampered with it.

Wei Qing took a deep breath, and his expression was a bit serious. Who is so courageous to block their way?
Is it to prevent them from going to Jiangcheng for disaster relief?

Why?

Wei Qing is now full of questions.

Zhuge Jingyao put down the last white pawn in his hand, looked up at Wen Ran, instead of being angry, he said with a smile: "It seems that this trip is the right time for me!"

Wen Ran felt that all these things were under Zhuge Jingyao's control.

"Aside from this road, is there no other way to get to Jiangcheng?" Zhuge Jingyao asked.

Wen Ran replied: "There are still two roads to choose, one is the water road, which takes about three days to reach Jiangcheng, and the other is a remote mountain path, which is said to be within a day, but it is very rugged and difficult to walk. "

Without thinking about it, they knew that with so many disaster relief supplies, they had to find a big boat and leave by water.

"Wei Qing, you will be of great use this time!" Zhuge Jingyao smiled at Wei Qing and said with deep meaning.

Wei Qing was at a loss as to the meaning of His Royal Highness's 'praise' and that weird smile, and only felt that something big was about to happen to him.
