Chapter 9: Am I the Best to You?

Start from the beginning
                                    

When there were only ten minutes left before the sudden task, she came to her senses and turned her head, meeting Chu Shao's gaze.

"..."

Admittedly, Chu Shao's face was beautiful, her eyes gentle and clear, and even her expression couldn't pick out any faults.

But Xiao Jin inexplicably felt horrified.

At the last moment, Xiao Jin had an intuition that she couldn't share a carriage with Chu Shao. So she lifted the curtain and shouted to the carriage driver, "Stop the carriage."

After the carriage driver stopped, he looked at Xiao Jin's indifferent expression and thought he had unintentionally offended this young master.

He got off the horse tremblingly, ready to kneel and beg for forgiveness. But unexpectedly, the other party coughed twice and asked, "This place should be Fuqu Street. If you want to go to Shenji Camp, how long will it take to ride a fast horse?"

The coachman was first stunned, then answered, "In response to young master, it will take about the time to brew a pot of tea."

With years of experience reading novels, Xiao Jin vaguely remembered that the time to brew a pot of tea was probably about ten minutes.

If a sudden situation occurred ten minutes later, the system's prediction must have also factored in the distance traveled by the carriage.

This means that the location of the event should be on Zhuque Street.

So Xiao Jin planned to do the opposite and have the coachman take the Yanwang's token to Shenji Camp to mobilize a hundred or so cavalry, while she stayed on Fuqu Street and did not move.

This way, if there was no unexpected situation, she would only lose a little, but she could save her life.

If there was an unexpected situation, the coachman would only need ten minutes to reach Shenji Camp, plus the time to return, for a total of twenty minutes.

As long as she could delay for ten minutes, then she would come out ahead.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin let Chu Shao and the attendants help her off the carriage.

She sat in a wheelchair, handed the token to the coachman, and briefly explained her request to him.

Before leaving, she reminded him, "Remember, be as fast as you can, and I only want the cavalry from Shenji Camp."

When he received the token, the coachman's hand was trembling.

But when he rode the horse, his expression became very serious, and he said firmly, "Your highness, please rest assured that I will not disappoint your trust and will definitely bring back the elite troops!"

"..."

Xiao Jin was a little embarrassed. Big brother, don't say that, this sounds like you're setting a flag before going to war.

Chu Shao stood beside Xiao Jin. Although she didn't understand what Xiao Jin was doing, when she helped this person off the carriage just now, she could clearly feel that the other person's weight was very light.

Especially when their clothes were touching, she found that Xiao Jin's body was surprisingly soft, like that of a woman.

But every time she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out.

Looking at Xiao Jin's slightly pursed lips, Chu Shao furrowed her brows. She had never been so curious about anything in her life, but she still couldn't solve the puzzle.

At this moment, Xiao Jin didn't even care that there was a yandere standing beside her.

Considering the upcoming risks, she had already taken out a bow and arrow and a sword from the carriage.
