Chapter 443: How Dare You Play With Me!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Almost everyone in the county town knew how high MO Ruyue’s standards were. There were also countless people who wanted to get close to her, but in the end, they could not get in.
But now, she could say that the old couple were friends and family. This evaluation was quite high.
“Yes, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are indeed very good people. Brother Deng, you’ll know when you get along in the future.”
After weighing the pros and cons in her heart, MO Ruyue decided to think about this problem after they reached a safer place.
In order to reduce the chances of encountering the refugees, Gu Ying would
first scout the way. If there were a large number of refugees passing by, he would wait for a night before going or choose another route.
Because of this, they had never encountered a large number of disaster victims along the way.
However, MO Ruyue would lend a helping hand to some scattered disaster victims by giving them some rice, flour, and dry rations. Sometimes, she would also provide some meat to the elderly and children.
Although it was a drop in the bucket, it gave those people a chance to survive.
They walked slowly for another three days. The towns and villages along the way were getting less and less affected, which meant that they had already left the large area of the affected area.
It was only at this moment that MO Ruyue saw the disaster relief team heading south again.
Such a team would always have soldiers guarding them to prevent the starving victims from snatching the relief supplies.
Sometimes, when MO Ruyue met such a group head-on, Gu Ying would drive the carriage to the side and make way.
“Gu Ying, look. This kind of disaster relief efficiency is incomparable to the previous life. How long has it been? Whether it’s those who are seriously injured or those who don’t have food, the people who can’t take it anymore have already turned into a pile of bones.”
MO Ruyue sat on the shaft of the carriage and whispered to Gu Ying.
“After all… This isn’t that country.”
Gu Ying shook his head. The two completely different systems had already determined that the rescue efforts could not be compared at all.
“Yeah, by the time the higher-ups send someone over, the daylily would have already turned cold.”
As MO Ruyue was speaking, a man who happened to pass by them on a horse suddenly stopped his horse and turned to stare at them coldly.” Who are you? How dare you talk about The Imperial Court’s disaster relief? Aren’t you afraid of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?
MO Ruyue was slightly startled.
The conversation between her and Gu Ying was almost like a whisper. The carriage was by the side of the road, and there was still some distance from the middle of the road. There were also the footsteps of the rescue team, the sound of hooves, and the sound of wheels. There was a lot of noise interference.
Even so, that man could still hear the conversation between her and Gu Ying when they brushed past each other. He must be an expert with deep internal energy.
She sized up the man.
He sat upright on the horse, his long legs holding the horse’s belly. If the horse was a little short, the tip of his toes might have touched the ground.
Judging from his height, he was almost two meters tall, almost ten centimeters taller than Gu Ying.
Such a height would be an existence that people would look up to in the future, not to mention in such an era where the average height was the same. This man could be said to be a giant.
His face was firm and his lips were pursed in a straight line. The corners of his lips were slightly drooping.
Judging from his appearance, this person was definitely a stubborn person. Moreover, he was the kind of stubborn donkey that would not turn back until he hit a south wall.
MO Ruyue had only casually glanced at him, but she didn’t know what she had seen. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she carefully scrutinized him for a few more times.
“Bing ‘Er, what are you looking at?”
Gu Ying stared at MO Ruyue’s side profile, his voice full of jealousy.
It was fine if she usually joked or stared at Deng Feng with excessive concern, but now she was staring at a strange man and lost her mind. This made him somewhat unable to accept it.
MO Ruyue had a vague idea flashing in her mind, but she couldn’t grasp it. With Gu Ying’s interruption, it completely disappeared.
Just as she was about to speak, the two of them’s eyes darkened at the same time. They both somersaulted backward to the sides.
A whip exploded in the air where they were originally sitting. Even though the horses in the carriage were well-trained, they were shocked by the sound of the whip and retreated a few steps.
Deng Feng had been resting in the carriage with his eyes closed, but he almost fell out of the carriage.
“I’m talking to you, can’t you hear me?
The tall man rode his horse and stood not far away from Mo Ruyue’s carriage. He stared coldly at the two people who were standing five meters away from each other on both sides of the carriage. His pupils constricted, and his eyes grew colder.
“I don’t care what marquis you are. So what if you have power? Scolding and beating the people just like that, right?”
What kind of temper did MO Ruyue have? If he were to provoke her, she could even kill the emperor, let alone a mere marquis.
In her previous life, countless influential figures had died in her hands. Even if the man in front of her was a tough nut to crack, if she wanted his life, he had to obediently leave it behind.
“Presumptuous! A commoner dares to spout nonsense in front of me?
The man let out a thunderous roar and slapped the saddle under him. He had already soared into the sky, and the horse’s front legs went soft from his slap, and it half-knelt down with a thud.
His figure was like lightning. Although he was unusually tall, he was not clumsy at all. Instead, he was unbelievably agile.
He leaped up and pounced straight at MO Ruyue, bringing with it a piercing sound.
Gu Ying shot out at the same time as the man moved. He punched the man’s vital point on his back. He did not hesitate at all because of the man’s noble status.
MO Ruyue remained as still as a mountain. Her eyes were fixed on the figure that had arrived in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, she gradually turned her toes slightly and brushed past the man’s side, deftly dodging his attack.
The man’s reaction was also very fast. Before he could finish his previous move, he flipped his hand and hooked his hand to grab MO Ruyue’s wrist.
He twisted his waist and did a side somersault to avoid Gu Ying’s fist that was behind him. Then, he began to press on MO Ruyue.
Even so, the look of surprise on his face grew stronger and stronger.
Originally, he thought that the man and woman in front of him were just fools who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. He didn’t expect that experts would know whether they had it or not when they made a move. With just a few moves, he realized that the skills of these two people could be said to be unfathomable.
Qin Xiaofeng, the Marquis of Weiyuan, was known as the “Undefeated God of
War”. Not only had he never experienced defeat on the battlefield, but he had
also never lost even when he roamed the martial world and fought against those martial artists and sect members.
However, after a few moves today, he realized that not only would he not be able to take down the couple in front of him, he might even suffer his first or second defeat in ten moves.
No matter how greatly shocked Qin Xiaofeng was in his heart, MO Ruyue and Gu Ying still dealt with him with ease.
No, to be precise, it was more like they was teasing him unscrupulously after figuring out his background.
This realization made Qin Xiaofengs hair stand on end, and the gaze he stared at the two of them became even colder.
“You actually dare to play with me!”
MO Ruyue interrupted him impatiently before he could finish his sentence.
“Cut the crap. If you want to fight, then fight. Let your fists speak! If you can’t do it, you can call your subordinates to gang up on me!”
She had thought that this man was the kind of person who would only hit but not force himself. She did not expect him to be full of nonsense..
