I Really Like That Guy!
Vol 9 Chapter 5:
On the day when the Daxing Army officially set off for the division to return to the DPRK, the sky was bright and the weather was bright.
Arlo rode on his horse and followed the large army forward little by little.
Most of the soldiers on the march were infantry, so the speed was very slow. Her mount, Treading Snow, was a very violent horse, and it didn't take long for her to start sniffing.
A Luo gently clamped the horse's belly, and Ta Xue immediately kicked and trotted, and the man who was walking beside him had to speed up his steps, fell behind the horse and chased after him.
This person is Qin Jue, the Prince of Jersey who has been serving the Empress for three days, and now he takes the name of Yu Nu and has become the Empress' personal attendant.
That day, the empress asked him to swipe a thousand times, and Qin Jue really did it. The price was that his arms were sore and weak for the next two days.
But when he completed this task, the Empress finally looked at him and asked what his name was.
At that time, Qin Jue was exhausted, and his physical exhaustion made him crumbling, but he was bathed in the eyes of the empress, and after hearing the enquiry of the empress, a force suddenly gushed out of him.
All the exhaustion was swept away, as if he had received some kind of affirmation for his efforts, the young man was handsome and his eyes were burning, and he answered seriously: "Yu slave, slave's original name has the word jade in it, but yesterday's various things, such as yesterday's death, slave After that, it will be Your Majesty's jade slave."
The Empress stared at him deeply, and smiled slightly after a moment.
She has always been dignified and cold, and there is rarely a smile on her face. That smile blooms on the woman's lips, as if the ice and snow are melting, spring flowers are blooming, and the bright sky is not as bright as that moment.
"Very good," she said.
At that moment, Qin Jue had an inexplicable feeling that the satisfaction in her words did not come from his humility and obedience.
Being a servant of the Empress does not actually need to be done. There are many servants of the Empress, and Qin Jue is not inferior to this one.
There are maids for personal matters such as washing and changing clothes. Male waiters like Qin Jue usually do coolies. For example, when the female emperor comes back from training, she takes off her armor and leads a horse. At other times, she follows the female emperor to protect her.
Even if the female emperor's force value is the strongest among all people, she must have someone around her to protect her, in case she encounters an ambush with her fists and four hands.
Qin Jue is the weakest of all the male waiters, there is no doubt about that.
Even though he had been training every day for the past few days, he would swing a thousand times in the morning as the Empress said, and go to the school grounds for ten laps before resting at night. Qin Jue's physical fitness was still at the bottom of all the attendants.
Even the maid serving the Empress has a strong physique because she has been with the army all the year round.
Looking at the woman riding a horse in front, Qin Jue ran after him for half an hour, his footsteps gradually became heavier, and he gasped for breath.
The voices of other attendants came from their ears, and they ran aside with ease, laughing and laughing at him recklessly, saying that he was not even better than a woman.
After the news of the questioning of his name that day spread, these attendants looked at him very displeased, thinking that apart from having a good face, he would only slander him.
Qin Jue turned a deaf ear, and only saw the valiant woman riding on the tall horse. She didn't wear a helmet. She was dressed in light and simple, with a straight back, and the red cloak behind her rolled like waves in the wind.
In a trance, Qin Jue remembered the cloak that wrapped his body that night. He washed the cloak and hid it at the bottom of his luggage.
Just like the woman who did not look back and drifted away, he was an untouchable existence.
The attendant whom I knew at first approached Qin Jue, and kindly advised: "Don't run away, just walk slowly, Your Majesty will rest when he has run enough, and it's fine for you to catch up at that time."
Qin Jue's jaw tightened, his teeth clenched tightly, and he shook his head and said, "No, I have to protect Your Majesty."
The attendant glanced at him in surprise, seeing the sweat dripping down his face, his handsome and fair cheeks flushed, the dark eyes reflecting the blue sky, shining with a firm and persistent light, the words "Your Majesty, why do you need your protection?" swallowed unconsciously. go down.
It's not bad to have this heart.
Just as the attendant said, the Empress really slowed down after running for a while. She stepped on the snow and stopped in a place where the grass was delicious. She lowered her head and ate the fresh green grass that grew in the spring.
The queen dismounted, stood on the green field like a blanket, looked up at the sun in the sky, and raised her voice to tell the army to stop and rest.
The lieutenants who heard the news looked surprised. Generally, in order to speed up the time, the army would only stop at night, and most of them would only eat some dry food on the road at noon.
Although it was strange, the lieutenant did not dare to question it, and only issued such an order when the Empress was in a good mood.
The army continued to rest in this field, and the attendants had already caught up with the empress. Qin Jue came the slowest, and when he arrived, it attracted a lot of attention.
Some people gloat over misfortunes, while others stand by and watch, such a weak attendant can't even keep up with the Empress, will the Empress still keep him by her side?
Qin Jue didn't see it, he walked to the Empress on his own accord, knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Yu Nu is late, I hope Your Majesty will punish you."
This kind of scene happens frequently these days, and the eyes of bystanders are all looking like a joke.
This jade slave can't do anything. First, he was punished by the empress for squatting every day. Another day on the school grounds, the empress competed with other soldiers and asked him to bring a large sword, but he couldn't hold it, and was punished by the empress to walk with sandbags tied to him every day.
Now, as a servant, he can't catch up with the Empress, and he doesn't know what kind of punishment he will receive.
But seeing the Empress turn around, she slightly tilted her head and lowered her eyes, and said casually, "I thought you had made progress before, but it turned out to be so unbearable."
The man's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he could feel her gaze, lightly like a wisp of wind, flashing past him.
Qin Jue suddenly felt endless exhaustion rising from his limbs, drowning him like a tide.
He didn't feel tired before, because he was holding a breath in his heart, but when she said this, he was like a house dog scolded by his master, and suddenly felt at a loss.
"Your Majesty..." He wanted to say, the slave will do it well.
He opened his mouth, but found that he was not qualified at all.
She is the empress of a country and admired by thousands of people, why wait for him to grow up? She can completely abandon his useless slave and replace him with someone more useful.
Qin Jue's hand hanging by his side was tightly clenched into a fist.
He bent his spine even more humbly, even as she looked away from him.
"Snapped-"
The sound of the wind hit, and a bundle of ropes was thrown at Qin Jue's feet, sinking into the soft green grass.
What followed was the cold voice of the Empress: "Tie your hands with this rope, and you will follow the snow to run from now on."
At that moment, Qin Jue had the illusion of breaking out from the bottom of the icy lake.
The suffocation and suffocation of the previous moment all disappeared, and the cold hands and feet trembled slightly, gradually returning to the heat, and his heart was full of happiness for the rest of his life.
He was not abandoned, she still kept him.
When the others were eating and resting, Qin Jue tied one end of his wrist with the rope, and the other was wrapped around the saddle on the snow.
He did it seriously and meticulously, but when he approached the snow, he was snorted twice and almost kicked.
Treading the snow is a **** horse, a heroic horse, and has followed the empress for many years. Its whole body is dark red, and the mane on its neck glows brightly in the sun. Because its four hooves are white, it is named Treading Snow.
Except for the empress, Ta Xue didn't like anyone to get too close to it, even the servants who fed it and washed its body were stomped by it from time to time.
After a simple lunch, and a quarter of an hour's rest, the army moved again.
Running with Duxue is a little easier than in the morning. The rope has tension, and even if Qin Jue can't run, Duxue can drag him forward.
After running for a long time, Qin Jue's legs don't seem to be his own anymore.
If he were to speed up the snow a little bit, he would have to try his best not to fall, and he looked particularly embarrassed.
Someone was laughing at the back: "Do you look at him like a dog?"
Everyone burst into laughter, the laughter pierced into the ears from a distance, Qin Jue thought in a trance, where does he look like?
Probably in the eyes of the empress, he was a dog.
The rope holding his wrist suddenly turned around, and Qin Jue stumbled along, so that he could stabilize his body.
The Empress drove her horse to the right. On the wilderness there, unknown wildflowers were blooming. The green grassland had turned pink and white. She said loudly, "You go on your own, you don't have to follow."
Saying that, she shouted "Drive" in a low voice, and Ta Xue hurriedly ran.
The group of attendants who followed looked at the distant Ta Xue and the Empress, as well as the man who was rolling and crawling behind, and couldn't help looking at each other: "Did Your Majesty forget Yu Slave? If you run like that, you might die, right?"
"What's the point of being a war slave? Your Majesty will probably take him for fun."
This field is very large, but the terrain is not flat, and after a while, the shadow of the Empress cannot be seen. Everyone is not worried, there is a Daxing army here, and no one wants to ambush the empress here.
Where people can't see, Qin Jue exploded all the potential in his body and dashed forward quickly.
His eyes were blurred, probably sweat dripped in, his hands were achingly rubbed by the rope, his chest was bulging and stinging violently, and he gasped for breath with his mouth wide open. He knew that he might die here.
Are you unwilling? Of course unwilling, he has not yet gone to revenge those people.
In the dimness, he saw in a trance on the galloping horse in front of him, someone turned his head and looked straight at him.
Does she... remember him? Remember following after her, like a dog?
A strong force came from his hand, Qin Jue's feet suddenly came off the ground, and he flew up - no, he was pulled by the empress by the rope, soared into the air, and took her to her horse.
Duxue was still running, and the woman hugged his waist from behind, shaking the reins in both arms, and Duxue's speed was immediately twice as fast as before.
It turned out that the speed of driving him to death just now was not its limit.
Qin Jue straddles the horse. He has ridden a horse, but he has never experienced such extreme speed. His whole body was stiff, but it wasn't all because of the lightning-fast speed and the warm body clinging to his back.
Despite the clothes, he felt that his entire back was being burned by the flames, and there were still ants biting in the fire, crawling all over his body, and the heat and numbness spread to the fingertips.
"Relax, if you hold your back like this, I can't see the road ahead."
In the absence of attention, the woman's faint voice sounded in her ears, with an unbelievable gentleness that was different from the past.
