Wei Cang’s frown deepened.
He knew very well why Ling Tianyin had done this.
Ling Tianyin was a suspicious person by nature.
He was definitely afraid that Wei Cang would be bribed by Gu Yihan after some chance encounter when he went to Great Qi.
Ling Tianyin was worried that the princess being brought here by him was just a pretense and a scam.
Therefore, he let Wei Cang hand the princess over to someone else at the last minute.
In the past, Wei Cang wouldn’t have felt that it was a big deal.
But now…
He was extremely hesitant.
He turned around and looked at the carriage. Half of a small head popped out of the window.
Wei Cang could see Gu Nuo’er’s curved eyebrows and big watery eyes.
The child was secretly watching the commotion.
She was so young and probably didn’t know what she was about to face.
Facing the domineering General Zheng, for the first time, Wei Cang had the intention to disobey the imperial edict.
His voice was cold and hard as he said, “Since I was the one who brought Princess Yaoguang here, I should be the one to bring her into the palace to report to His Majesty.
“Otherwise, if anything happens to the princess along the way, General Zheng, it won’t be easy for you to explain things, right?”
Wei Cang said these words meaningfully, and General Zheng couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
He originally thought that this would make General Zheng retreat in the face of difficulties.
However, General Zheng laughed. “Governor Wei, you and I are both loyal to His Majesty. How can I disobey His Majesty’s decree just because I’m afraid?
“Otherwise, wouldn’t this be disobeying the decree?” General Zheng emphasized the word ‘disobeying the decree’.
Wei Cang gritted his teeth tightly, but he only looked at the other party seriously.
What should he do?
If he handed Gu Nuo’er over…
However, General Zheng did not give him any more time to hesitate.
With a wave of his hand, four soldiers walked out from behind him and took the initiative to chase the coachman down.
Wei Cang was burning with anxiety, but he didn’t know what to do.
General Zheng ordered two teams of soldiers to escort the carriage into the palace.
Wei Cang saw that the carriage Gu Nuo’er was in drove straight into the city gate.
He quickly got onto the horse and hurriedly bade General Zheng farewell perfunctorily.
Then, he led Yuan Gu and the others to chase after the carriage.
General Zheng turned around and sneered.
Then, he continued to line up and prepare for battle.
“If Marquis Yongye really comes, let him have a good taste of the might of our Zheng Family’s army!”
The soldiers were agitated and shouted, “Kill!”
In Gu Nuo’er’s carriage, the child didn’t feel nervous at all.
Instead, she continued to lean against the window and look out with a smile.
At some point, the black wolf cub had jumped to her side.
The black wolf shook his body, his black wolf eyes filled with cold bloodthirst.
The child blinked. “Elder Brother Siming, what are you doing?”
Ye Siming’s voice was filled with arrogance. “The way that General Zheng spoke just now made me displeased.
“Go to the palace first. Give me an hour. I’ll kill them all.”
Gu Nuo’er didn’t even frown. She only opened her pink lips and was about to speak.
However, Ye Siming quickly changed his words.
“No, I won’t kill them. I’ll only beat them up.”
He ground his wolf fangs until they creaked. “After I’m done with them, I’ll look for you in the palace.”
Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes were bright. “Alright, Elder Brother Siming, you have to be careful.”
“I know. Be careful not to kill them, right? Don’t worry, I promised you not to kill anyone.”
After Ye Siming finished speaking, he jumped up and left the carriage with a swoosh.
He was extremely fast. The soldiers and the commoners pa.s.sing by didn’t even see his shadow.
Gu Nuo’er sat in the carriage. Not long later, she arrived at the palace’s entrance.
“Stop, who is it?!” An angry shout came from outside.
