No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

Chapter 222 Murderous intention

"Aiguan is an important trading center of Rong State. There must be many merchants traveling between Shacheng and Aiguan, but this post station... I guess there must be other routes, right?"

Yangyang asked casually, which made Jia Kuizhuo stunned. Originally, this road was not something he could decide. He had not expected such a deserted post station, because today was his first time to take this route.

He had no idea why the person behind the scenes insisted that he lead the team along this route.

Fortunately, after passing this place, another fifty miles will be the Ai Pass. Although the team does not have enough food for everyone, it is no big deal to just have one meal for the social occasion.

So he laughed dryly, "Of course there are other routes. The reason I chose this one is for the princess's safety."

Yangyang was so calm and smiled faintly, "General Laojia is here."

Xue Qingqing didn't take it seriously. She helped Yangyang sit down next to her, not caring that Jia Kuizhuo was sitting opposite her. After all, Yuwen Bo was also next to them, and she thought that Jia Kuizhuo couldn't do anything to her.

Biluo and Xiaotao sat down at the table at the back.

"What? Princess, are you afraid that so many people can't protect you?" She looked at Yuwen Bo, "Isn't it, young marquis?"

Yu Wenbo's face changed drastically when he heard this. His brows knitted tightly together, and a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes: "If you feel unwell, you should go back to the car and rest first."

Yangyang understood what he meant. She deliberately dragged out the tone and echoed with some deep meaning: "The Crown Prince's Consort is really feeling unwell." While speaking, she glanced at Xue Qingqing vaguely.

Yuwen Bo said coldly, "She has always been like this, princess knows that." Then he reached out and poured a cup of Xinyang Maojian tea that he had brewed himself and handed it to Yangyang.

Yangyang took the tea that Yuwenbo poured for her attentively. From the corner of her eye, she could still see Xue Qingqing's forced anger at the moment, and felt that if she pushed her again, she would be able to break her defense.

"Young Marquis, this tea reminds me of the scene in your villa a few months ago. It seems like a lifetime ago. After all, we used to..." Yangyang smiled and threw the rest of the words to Yuwen Bo.

Yuwen Bo is a man of deep thoughts, he would not trust anyone so easily, not to mention that her attitude towards him before was not very friendly. If she hadn't had such subtle feelings for him, it would have aroused his suspicion.

But Yuwen Bo's response was not as complicated as Yangyang thought. Instead, he approached Yangyang with a look of satisfaction, "It is an honor for this prince that the princess still remembers those past events."

Xue Qingqing saw all of this. She suppressed her anger and said, "I am in the way. I will leave now." She stood up and walked out of the post station resolutely. While enjoying the cool air under a tree, she exchanged glances with a soldier guarding the carriage.

The soldier understood and pretended to look around as he gradually approached Xue Qingqing. When he passed by her, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Didn't you say that we would act at night?"

Xue Qingqing whispered, "I can't wait any longer. Let her see the King of Hell now."

The officer tightly grasped the crescent moon at his waist and said, "You'd better not let us fail, otherwise..." While speaking, he kept looking around.

Xue Qingqing took a deep breath and fanned the handkerchief in her hand with a bad face, "If you feel unconvinced, why don't you send a message to your eldest master now to see if he will listen to me, Chang Saner."

Chang Saner was originally a secret guard beside Helan Gai. In order to gather information and find Helan Qin, he had to sneak into the riot.

It was the riot in Tong County that allowed him to discover Helan Qin's whereabouts. At the same time, relying on his own martial arts, he joined Tang Yuwei's border defense force and finally became a member of the escort team.

Chang Saner still had that fake smile that showed he was friendly to everyone and said, "Haha, the Crown Prince's Consort is joking. The Crown Prince's Consort has such great abilities that we can't even compare to them in Wangcheng." The implication of his words was to mock Xue Qingqing, "Of course I have to listen to the Crown Prince's Consort."

"Then hurry up! Don't wait until the cooks at the post station have finished cooking. It will be too late if you start later."

After a while, the cook came into the lobby of the post station with his head down, carrying bowls of freshly cooked noodles. As he placed them on the table, he said with regret, "Our post station has been abandoned for more than ten years. I didn't expect to welcome so many distinguished guests today."

"More than ten years? Why?" Yangyang took the chopsticks handed to her by Yuwen Bo and asked curiously.

Although the cook had his head buried and had some extra scars on his face, Yangyang could still tell at a glance that he was Haozi.

Haozi placed a bowl of noodles on the tray in front of Yangyang, raised his head and frowned at Yangyang inadvertently, saying, "Hey! This noble man doesn't know, it's because of the war..."

Yangyang understood what he meant, but before Haozi finished speaking, the postman at the post station coughed twice, "Ahem!", and smiled at Jia Kuizhuo, "Judging from the way you are dressed, I'm afraid you are from the Rong country! We haven't seen a Rong person here for a long time."

When Haozi heard this, he immediately shut up and went back to the kitchen with his plate to get the remaining noodles.

Jia Kuizhuo didn't get anything out of the postman just now, and now he has revealed his identity. If it were in the past, he would have drawn his sword and fought him, but not today, because Yangyang is here.

But the murderous spirit of Leng Ning was still unabated, "It's best not to ask what you shouldn't ask."

Yangyang said softly, "General Jia, why are you so angry? There is little friction between the two countries now, and peaceful diplomatic relations should be the top priority."

Yangyang had expected something from this uncle, but she was frightened when she saw the servants of the Crown Princess being burned to death by his men last time. In addition, Helan Qin reminded her repeatedly, which made her cautious about this uncle. Therefore, Yangyang only called him "General" instead of "relative".

Jia Kuizhuo turned around, his expression softened slightly, and said, "Princess, you are absolutely right."

"This noodle is almost clumping together, everyone, eat it quickly!"

Seeing Yangyang pick up her chopsticks, everyone started to eat.

But just as the noodles reached her mouth, Yangyang remembered the expression on Haozi's face that reminded her just now, so she gently picked up a small piece and put it into her mouth, pretending to chew it but not swallowing it.

Yuwen Bo, who was sitting at the same table, had never eaten anything like this before, so he didn't even move his chopsticks. But Jia Kuizhuo and the officers and soldiers moved quickly, finishing most of the bowl of noodles in just a few mouthfuls.

Yangyang lowered his head, wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief in his hand, and spat the noodles in his mouth into the handkerchief. Biluo and Xiaotao behind him also followed Yangyang cleverly and did not swallow the noodles.

Just when everyone had finished their noodles, the sounds of people falling to the ground or banging their heads against the table could be heard one after another.

Jia Kuizhuo pressed his forehead a little late and said, "Not good." When he looked up at Yangyang, his eyes were blurry. "Princess, be careful of this..."
