Chapter 46 The beauty mounts the horse and they share the ride!
Yang Yuhuan followed behind Chu Yang in silence all the way.
Chu Yang's lukewarm attitude towards her made her a little angry.
Chu Yang didn't care. He glanced at the beauty beside him and laughed secretly in his heart.
"This Yang Yuhuan is really stubborn, but I like her!"
along the way.
Chu Yang deliberately slowed down his pace, only caring about appreciating the scenery along the roadside, occasionally humming a few tuneless little songs, completely ignoring the angry look in Yang Yuhuan's eyes behind him.
"Humph, just pretending!"
Yang Yuhuan cursed in her heart, but she could do nothing about it.
She couldn't take the initiative to talk to the man who 'kidnapped' her, right?
Soon, the two arrived at a rather simple post station.
It was called an inn, but in fact it was just a shed made of a few pieces of wood. It didn't even have a complete door, and it would collapse if the wind blew.
"That's it?"
Yang Yuhuan frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with the scene before her, "I thought you had some luxurious carriage outside the city!"
Chu Yang heard this and smiled indifferently.
"Miss Yang, just be content."
"In order to marry you, I gave all my men to Sun Fengtian."
"Besides, I don't have much money, so let's just rent a horse for the two of us."
After saying that, he walked straight to the post station and shouted to a thin old man who was dozing off inside.
"Boss, rent a horse!"
The old man raised his head sleepily and saw a stunning beauty following Chu Yang. He immediately perked up and quickly came out from behind the shabby counter, nodding and bowing.
"Hey, how many guests are there? How many horses do you want to rent?"
Chu Yang held up a finger and said with a smile, "One."
"One?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Yang, then looked at Yang Yuhuan behind him, his face full of confusion.
"Sir, there are only two of you. Is renting a horse enough?"
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on her face. She was about to explode, but was pulled back by Chu Yang.
"Boss, you don't know this, right? We call this 'galloping on horseback to share the prosperity of the world',"
Chu Yang said this, deliberately emphasizing the word "shared". At the same time, he reached out and gently patted Yang Yuhuan's slender waist, "Don't you agree, my beauty?"
Yang Yuhuan was both ashamed and angry. She glared at him fiercely but said nothing else.
Seeing this, the old man dared not say anything more and quickly led a relatively strong horse over.
"You are right, sir. I will prepare the saddles for you two right away."
Chu Yang nodded with satisfaction, took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it to the old man, then pulled Yang Yuhuan towards the horse.
Yang Yuhuan struggled hard for a few times, but found that she could not escape Chu Yang's clutches at all, so she had to let him pull her in front of the horse.
"what are you doing?"
Yang Yuhuan was filled with shame and indignation. She lowered her voice and asked, "You don't want me to ride on the same horse with you, do you?"
Chu Yang said with a smile: "I am helpless too. Let's do this for now. I will double your compensation when we get to Qiongzhou."
After saying this, he didn't wait for Yang Yuhuan to react.
He picked her up and threw her directly onto the horse.
Yang Yuhuan was caught off guard, screamed, and almost fell off the horse.
"You are crazy!"
Yang Yuhuan was both ashamed and angry, and struggled to get off the horse.
"Don't move!" Chu Yang shouted, then he jumped on his horse, sat behind Yang Yuhuan, and held her tightly in his arms. "If you move again, I'll throw you off!"
"you dare!"
Yang Yuhuan's eyes were wide open with anger, but she didn't dare to move.
Seeing this, Chu Yang raised a smug smile, and gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs. The horse then carried the two of them slowly towards Qiongzhou.
The setting sun stretched the two figures out long.
Yang Yuhuan had mixed feelings. She had never thought that one day she would be so flirted with by a man, let alone ride on the same horse with a man.
She secretly looked at Chu Yang's profile and found that although he had a cynical smile on his face.
But his eyes were unusually deep, as if hiding countless secrets.
"Who is this man?"
Yang Yuhuan thought to herself, and an inexplicable feeling quietly grew in her heart...
At the gate of Qiongzhou city, the dusty and skinny horse finally stopped.
"Whoa--" Chu Yang let out a long sigh, turned over and got off the horse, rubbed his sore buttocks, and cursed in his heart, riding this shared horse is really a living torture.
"Your Highness, you are finally back!"
Wang Meng walked forward quickly and looked at Yang Yuhuan behind Chu Yang, his face full of uncontrollable joy.
"Mr. Wang, sorry to have kept you waiting."
Chu Yang patted Wang Meng on the shoulder, pointed at the angry Yang Yuhuan behind him, and said, "This is Sun Fengtian's cousin, Yang Yuhuan, the beautiful lady Yang."
Yang Yuhuan rolled her eyes at Chu Yang and said unhappily.
"Mr. Wang, I have long heard of your name."
Wang Meng quickly bowed in return, "Miss Yang, you are too polite. His Highness often mentions you, saying that you are a rare and extraordinary woman in the world."
"Really?"
Yang Yuhuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Yang with a half-smile, "I wonder what good things Your Highness said about me?"
Chu Yang coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "Mr. Wang, there is nothing important happening in Qiongzhou recently, right?"
"No, no..."
Wang Meng responded subconsciously. He knew that if it was a big deal, he wouldn't ask here.
If it's a small matter, there's no need to mention it.
"That's good. Please settle Miss Yang first and come to my study later."
"I will arrange it now."
Wang Meng bowed and accepted the order.
After settling Yang Yuhuan, he hurried to Chu Yang's study.
Night had already enveloped Qiongzhou City, but the lights in the study were still bright.
"Your Highness, when will you look for me?"
As soon as Wang Meng stepped into the study, he asked straight to the point.
Chu Yang was looking down at a map. Hearing this, he answered without even looking up, "At that time, it was about sending troops to Japan. They suffered heavy losses in the last war. Now is really a good time to take action."
"Ah, attack Japan! Your Highness, you must be joking!"
Wang Meng was extremely surprised. He couldn't understand why His Highness was determined to fight against Japan.
But he didn't dare to ask more, and just changed the subject, "Your Highness, Chu Qi's 100,000-strong army will arrive at Nanling City in a few days, we must make plans early!"
Chu Yang put down the map, stretched himself, and said nonchalantly.
"What's a hundred thousand troops? They are just a bunch of rabble. I don't take them seriously. Besides, I don't think they will come back to Nanling City at all."
Wang Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head. This prince was good in every way except his fearless character, which was really worrying.
"Your Highness, that being said, Nanling City is our last city in Qiongzhou after all. If we lose it, we will be trapped in a jar."
Wang Meng said earnestly, "In my opinion, we should be cautious in dealing with this. Should we let Mr. Sima and General Xing take action first?"
