Chapter 299 The lingering ghost

Looking at Zhou Quankun's letter, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui felt her eyelids twitching wildly.

She never expected that even though she was on high alert against Xiao Mo, he actually had enough money to support his own private soldiers.

Fortunately, there are not many people, only a few hundred, so it is not difficult to deal with them.

Imperial Noble Consort Dehui immediately wrote back to Zhou Quankun, saying that she would send him more men in the near future and ask him to kill Xiao Mo as soon as possible.

After receiving the reply, Zhou Quankun was not in a hurry to make another plan to kill Xiao Mo. Instead, he dragged Consort Dehui, saying that he and Xiao Mo fought hard and lost many people. He also said that the weather here was cold and many of his men were frostbitten.

Anyway, he found all kinds of excuses to ask Imperial Noble Consort Dehui for people and money.

After a month of this, Zhou Quankun actually had thousands of people under his command.

Zhou Quankun, who had money, still did not take the initiative to attack and kill Xiao Mo. Instead, he spread the news to the horse bandits and mountain bandits, asking them to cause trouble for Xiao Mo.

He had a good plan. He wanted to use horse bandits and mountain bandits to consume Xiao Mo's men, and when he was extremely exhausted, he would give him a fatal blow.

This method is good, but it is very time-consuming and it may take at least a month or two to succeed.

Zhou Quankun only sent spies to keep an eye on Xiao Mo's every move, while he took Yao Zhen to Wenshi City to wait for news.

The news that Zhou Quankun and Xiao Mo had fought a battle outside Luojiu City soon reached Min Shao's ears.

He originally wanted to find a plan to launch a surprise attack on Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo was surrounded by so many people, and he only had a few dozen people, so there was no way he could fight.

Seeing that there was no chance for a sneak attack, even though Min Shao was unwilling, he could only return to Xirong temporarily. Xiao Mo would be in Ningchuan Prefecture anyway, so he would have many opportunities to assassinate him.

As for Xiao Mo's side, after the team rested after being attacked, they moved forward for a while and arrived at a camp.

This campsite was where Duan Feng had been stationed before. He was in such a hurry to rescue Xiao Mo that he didn't even have time to pack up the tent. Now that everyone came back, it was just right for him to continue using it.

There was a big river near the camp. As soon as everyone arrived, someone immediately set up a big pot to boil water and cook.

Men were not so particular. Even if the weather was a little cold, they would just jump into the river covered in blood.

The women didn't dare to do this, so they could only boil hot water and go back to the tent to wash.

"Let's sleep in one bed today. Luzhu and the others are exhausted, so we shouldn't let them sleep in another bed."

Xiao Mo took the initiative to put Ye Jintang's bedding on his bed.

Ye Jintang, who had just changed his clothes, looked out through the tent.

Luzhu and Lianqiao's hands holding the firewood were a little unsteady, and it was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the shock.

She sighed slightly, thinking that by the time they followed her to Ningchuan Province, they would be able to develop extremely strong mental qualities.

"Okay, but we have to sleep on separate blankets."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything without your permission."

Ye Jintang felt amused when she saw Xiao Mo's serious look. She was afraid that she would do something wrong.

Everyone in the camp was busy. After lunch, everyone finally relaxed and gathered in groups of three or five to talk and chat.

Xiao Mo called a few of his men to discuss the next steps.

Ye Jintang, who had nothing to do, called Xuetuan over and helped him comb its long fur.

Xuetuan had contributed a lot in the fight just now, but now his white fur was all dirty. He didn't like to take a bath, so she could only use a hot towel to wipe his body.

"My queen, is there something wrong with Duan Linghui's brain? The prince and his friends were discussing matters, and she shamelessly went in to serve tea and snacks."

Luzhu came to Ye Jintang angrily to complain. She thought Duan Linghui would learn to be honest after being beaten, but in the end she was still the same as before.

"Oh."

Ye Jintang's brows twitched slightly, but her hands did not stop moving. She turned her head to look in the direction of the tent, and just saw Duan Feng bringing Duan Linghui out. She was crying, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

"Look, this was driven out by the prince."

"Huh? I thought Your Majesty couldn't see through Duan Linghui's tricks."

Luzhu, who had a look of anxiety on her face just now, almost laughed out loud.

Ye Jintang thought that she had already warned Xiao Mo well, and if he still didn't come to her senses, then what he said before that she would be the only one in the backyard from now on was just a lie.

Duan Feng had to go back to the tent to discuss matters. He coaxed Duan Linghui a few words and hurried back to the tent.

Luzhu stepped forward with a smile and asked sarcastically, "Miss Linghui, why are you crying? I just told you that we cannot enter the prince's meeting tent without his order, why didn't you listen?"

"You said before that you could fight in battles and lead troops. We maids admired you very much. But today when you followed General Duan to support us, why didn't I see you killing enemies like General Duan?"

"Hey, you're not hiding."

"You, you are talking nonsense, I am not hiding, I, I am just sick, that's why I didn't go into battle to kill the enemy."

Duan Linghui's past was exposed, and she felt somewhat angry and embarrassed.

She had relied on Duan Feng's military achievements, and she had always dressed in shorts, so she created an image for herself of a female general who could lead troops into battle.

As a result, just a few days after establishing his character, he was exposed by Lu Zhu in front of everyone, especially Ye Jintang.

Duan Linghui only felt her cheeks were very red, and she even stuttered when she spoke.

"Then you are not as good as us. We can use slingshots to shoot thunder bombs. As long as we can hit the enemy, they will have no chance of escaping."

"By the way, this thunder bomb was invented by the princess. It is very useful."

Luzhu was very powerful in her words. She made Duan Linghui speechless and she dared not say a word.

She ran away with red eyes. Luzhu muttered, "How rude! You don't even bow to the princess. You really think you are a female general."

"Bah, you've been hanging around the prince all day, but I never saw you being mute. I thought you were very talkative, but when you came to our queen, you turned into a saw-mouthed gourd."

Seeing Luzhu attacking Duan Linghui like a little rooster, Ye Jintang couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

She didn't know when the little girl beside her grew up, and now she is very aggressive, but she likes it.

"Luzhu said it well."

Ye Jintang couldn't help but praise her loudly.

The people around saw all this and they all admired Ye Jintang in their hearts. She got rid of Duan Linghui almost without making a fuss.

If it were any other lady, she would probably not be as calm as her and would probably start a quarrel after seeing Duan Linghui like this.

"Your Majesty, Duan Linghui is so annoying. Why don't you just chase her away? She is such an eyesore right beside you."

"Although Duan Linghui is annoying, I still have to give her some face for the sake of General Duan. As long as she doesn't act like a demon, I'm not a harsh person."

Xiao Mo is in need of people right now, and Ye Jintang doesn't want to make things difficult for Duan Feng and Xiao Mo at this critical juncture.

She had to stay calm for now. After arriving in Ningchuan Prefecture, if Duan Linghui was still confused, she would not be polite.
