Chapter 127: Confrontation

At this time, a fit of laughter sounded next to him. Yu Zhi loudly cried out: "Qilang, Qilang, what makes you so nervous?"

Amid his laughter, Wang Hong turned to shoot a glance at him. Yu Zhi at once stopped, but from time to time a strange sound escaped his throat like a laughter that could not be suppressed.

"Miss?" Nurse Ping was heard calling outside.

Hearing her, Chen Rong turned around to curtsy to Wang Hong. "My nurse is calling for me. I'll be getting off."

She was smiling in a bowing position, but even after a while she did not hear Wang Hong answer.

When she looked up, she saw him holding a cup of wine and smiling comfortably at her. Did he not hear her request?

Surprised, Chen Rong glanced over at Yu Zhi to see him contorting his face to contain his laughter. She smiled and then quietly sat back at her seat, no longer mentioning the matter of departure.

And like that, Wang Hong quietly drank his wine, Chen Rong looked out to the scenery through the curtain, and Yu Zhi looked back and forth, his throat constantly making suppressed noises.

Outside, Nurse Ping called twice and when she did not receive Chen Rong's answer, retracted her head.

The travelers continued to move forward.

A long time later, when Yu Zhi had already left, a blast of dust rolled near.

This was a Wang scout. He came to the carriage and relayed in a whisper: "My lord, General Ran is heading this way."

Ran Min?

Chen Rong looked up.

Wang Hong slowly placed his wine down, murmuring: "I suppose stealing a man's bride isn't a kind thing to do, even if there had been no betrothal." Thus mumbled to himself, he called out, "Remove our emblem from the carriage. Pick another route for me to go."

"Aye."

The riders left with their order.

At this time Wang Hong turned his gaze to Chen Rong.

He was obviously in the wrong, but his eyes were bright and he couldn't look more nonchalant. She couldn't see the slightest sense of shame from him.

Chen Rong cast him a glance and then withdrew her gaze.

Wang Hong's order was passed down, but they had not seen a fork through the day's journey. By the time the sun sank to the west, they hadn't found an opportunity to leave.

It was supper time.

The guards jumped off the carriages and began to set camp for dinner. Wang Hong had also left.

Chen Rong got off the carriage and turned to find Nurse Ping and the others.

Nurse Ping was also looking for her. When he saw Chen Rong looking around, Old Shang drove the carriage near and cried: "Miss, miss."

Chen Rong turned around and beamed to see them.

She strode to the carriage, lifted the curtain and went in.

Seeing her tired appearance, Nurse Ping hurriedly asked, "The water's ready, would you like to take a bath?"

Chen Rong glanced down at her white robe and nodded.
