Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Ch. 117 and Ch. 118

Ch. 117 Rabbit Hotpot

This time, there were fifteen private soldiers accompanying Chu Lian to the northern border. Adding the estate guards and retainers raised the total count to more than thirty.

Mo Chenggui was an old soldier. The imposing aura around him from his years on the battlefield made him hard to approach. Even when facing Prince Jin's subordinate, Tang Yan, he was unshakeable. Coupled with the deep scar that cut across the left side of his face, he felt cold, terrifying, and unapproachable to the others.

Amongst the party heading to the north, the men were all riding horses. Only Chu Lian and her two maidservants, Wenqing and Wenlan, were seated inside a carriage.

Manager Qin, who wasn't that good at riding, was placed at the front of the carriage next to the manservant driving it.

The further north they went, the colder it got.

Chu Lian was wrapped up in a large cloak with a fox-fur robe on the outside. She hugged a warm water bottle in her arms. Even so, she still felt cold!

She was glad she had tried to train her body for half a month before departing on the journey. Otherwise, she would have definitely fallen ill before even reaching the north.

The road wasn't smooth, causing the carriage to shake along the way. Chu Lian couldn't read her book in that sort of situation, so to keep herself awake, she started playing a card game called Madiao with Wenqing and Wenlan.

As the cheery sounds of laughter resounded from within the carriage, Mo Chenggui's thug-like countenance took on a fierce cast.

His roughened hands tightened on the reins he was holding.

He had thought highly of this Third Young Madam at first. Not just any young miss had the spirit and determination to go to the bitterly cold northern border. Thus, he hadn't said a word when he had seen how much luggage she was bringing.

However, he hadn't expected her to be frolicking so happily in the carriage without any consideration for their circumstances!

She was just a spoiled little noble girl after all. Did she think they were going out on a leisure trip?

She probably hadn't expected the weather in the north to be this bad. It probably wouldn't take very long before this Third Young Madam would start making a fuss to turn back.

However, he was going there to help Third Young Master. Even if Third Young Madam were to pester him with unreasonable demands along the way, it wasn't his business to care about what happened to her!

The corner of Mo Chenggui's lips raised at a cold angle.

While riding his horse alongside the carriage, Tang Yan was having similar thoughts to Mo Chenggui. However, he simply shook his head and smiled, instead of showing his thoughts on his face like Mo Chenggui.

He cast a look at the carriage, eyes shifting into upturned crescents like a wily fox.

Hehe! He was waiting for a good show!

Manager Qin straightened the fur hat that almost engulfed his head with its size. With his hands tucked into the sleeves of his cotton robe, he looked like a rough man from the northeast. His eyes were narrowed as he looked between the private soldiers and guards on both sides of the carriage. At a time when no one was paying attention to him, he curled his lip and inwardly harrumphed. Third Young Madam was right. These people were inflated with their own self-importance, disdainful of others just because they were physically stronger. They actually dared to look down on their Third Young Madam!
