The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1699

Chapter 1699: 827 Black Wind Iron Cavalry! (Second Update)_2

"Hmph!"

He stood up, with one hand behind his back and the other patting the side of his thigh back and forth to vent his dissatisfaction, then coldly turned and left!

Gu Jiao stared intently at him.

"Treating the battlefield like child’s play! Xiao Liulang does this, and so does the Princess! I truly don’t know how the Emperor could send a mere woman to represent him in battle! Is there no prince in the royal family? King Li, King Xu, King En, aren’t they all better than a discarded Princess!"

Wang Man said this after he had left the barracks.

But the people inside the barracks had good hearing.

Weng Juntin awkwardly smiled.

Shangguan Yun’s expression did not change much; she said to Weng Juntin, "You may leave, I have something to discuss with Commander Xiao."

"Yes, I take my leave." Weng Juntin stood up, bowed, and turned around to leave the barracks.

Mu Qingchen also got up.

Shangguan Yun said, "Mu Qingchen, you stay, I have tasks to assign to you."

...

Half an hour later, Mu Qingchen and Gu Jiao emerged from Shangguan Yun’s barracks.

By now, it was completely dark; the Military Officers made fires to prepare dinner, and after eating, some rested while others patrolled.

The two walked along the small path between the barracks.

Master Hu approached, "Sir! Have you had dinner? I saved a Steamed Bun for you!"

"I’ve eaten," Gu Jiao said, "Keep it for me for breakfast tomorrow."

Master Hu hesitated, "Ah, yes."

How could I let you eat? Isn’t it better for me to eat it myself?

Mu Qingchen frowned slightly, looking at Gu Jiao, "I really don’t understand you more and more."

Gu Jiao gave him a strange look, "You don’t need to understand me."

Mu Qingchen was at a loss for words, but he was accustomed to it.

While walking alongside her, he said, "Regarding Nangong Li, I apologize to you."

The matter of the Nangong Family colluding with the Crown Prince, framing the rightful heir of the Changsun family, was not publicly disclosed, but as the heir of one of the ten great families, he had heard a little about it.

However, he did not know that the current rightful heir was Xiao Hen, and still thought it was Shangguan Qing.

Gu Jiao replied, "Oh."

Mu Qingchen admitted with some shame, "Did you kill Nangong Li because you discovered his plot? Forget it, that’s no longer important. I misunderstood you previously, thinking you were deceitful, that was my fault."

Gu Jiao actually didn’t care about his misunderstanding, but his apology was so sincere, so she spoke up to prevent him from apologizing endlessly.

Gu Jiao scratched her head, "I forgive you."

Mu Qingchen smiled slightly and stopped to look at her, "Then, are we still friends?"

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, her eyes moved slightly, and she said reluctantly, "I guess?"

What does ’I guess?’ mean? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Mu Qingchen was momentarily stunned.

Gu Jiao spread her hands, "I am your superior now; superiors and subordinates cannot overstep boundaries, you must adhere to your role."

Their impression of Gu Jiao had somewhat changed along the way, but there were still significant reservations; the Han Family’s previous commanders had performed even better, but in the end, what was the result?

The Han Family rebelled.

They admitted, her bold revival of the Xuanyuan family’s war banner was indeed inspiring.

But after being disappointed so many times, they had become calm from their initial excitement.

Perhaps, this was just a way to boost morale.

Who would really fight for the Xuanyuan family?

Even the Nangong Family was using the Xuanyuan family’s name for personal gain, right?

Everyone watched this new commander, waiting for her to continue her antics.

They wanted to see if, when cornered, she might be so frantic she would burst into tears.

Mu Qingchen glanced around and whispered, "They seem not to trust you much."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Gu Jiao said to Mu Qingchen, "We have three days to cross the mountain, then the whole army rests for a day at Feng County, without stopping, directly assault the city."

"Three days... is that enough?" Mu Qingchen looked at the endless mountains, thinking that even thirteen days might not suffice, no wonder the cavalry didn’t trust this fellow student; even he felt it would be challenging, right?

Gu Jiao said, "Whether it’s enough, we’ll know when we start. Boss, let’s go!"

This forest was filled with the howls of Beasts, the Mama could instinctively sense the Jungle’s danger.

However, just as Gu Jiao fully trusted Hei Feng King, Hei Feng King also trusted his companions without reservation.

Hei Feng King raised his front hooves, leapt lightly, easily crossed a Canal six feet wide, and without turning back, stepped into the dense Jungle.
