Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter - Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1132: The Unparalleled, Great and Prestigious Young General Burst into Laughter_1 Chapter 1140: Chapter 1132: The Unparalleled, Great and Prestigious Young General Burst into Laughter_1 Liu Qingqing, is it really her?

The girl now looked completely different from half a year ago.

She was wearing a coarse cloth jacket and a headscarf, her skin tanned dark, and her cheeks suspiciously flushed red.

“Pfft.”

His gaze lingered on the red flush for a moment, and he couldn’t help but laugh, much to the dismay of the girls who revered the young general.

“You, why are you laughing? What’s so funny?”

Liu Qingqing happened to catch a glimpse of his teasing smirk and, feeling both embarrassed and angry, retorted without hesitation.

“How dare you talk to the general like that!”

“That’s right, a lowly servant dares to defy the general.”

“Someone like her needs to be taught a lesson, or she won’t know any better.”

Without a doubt, Liu Qingqing had angered everyone. The heartbroken and hurt girls needed an outlet for their anger, and they directed it all at her.

The tragedy unfolded.

The girls resorted to their vicious fighting tactics, attacking Liu Qingqing like a pack of wolves.

Countless strands of Liu Qingqing’s hair were ripped out, causing her tears to stream down her face as she screamed in pain.

“Stop!”

Lin Jinxu’s eyes twitched, and he shouted while stepping on the shoulders of the crowd to reach the center of the storm. He grabbed Liu Qingqing’s arm and pulled her out of the fray.

Her hair was disheveled, her mouth bruised, her pupils dilated. She was so overcome with fury and pain that she fainted.

“Mr. Xu, could you please take her back to the City Lord’s Mansion?”

Lin Jinxu’s eyes twitched involuntarily again as he pushed the unconscious Liu Qingqing into the man’s arms and mounted his horse.

“General Lin?”

This officer was at a loss, holding the unconscious Liu Qingqing, unsure of how to proceed.

“She’s the daughter of the former Zhuo County Chief.”

Lin Jinxu revealed Liu Qingqing’s identity, and without further delay, patted the head of his warhorse.

The horse neighed, rearing its front legs while the surrounding villagers made way.

“Fellow villagers, until we meet again.”

Lin Jinxu cupped his hands in a salute, spurred his horse, and galloped away.

“Hey, General.”

His officer watched him leave, sighed resignedly, and called two soldiers to help carry Liu Qingqing onto a horseback. They turned the horses around and headed back the way they came.

Penglai Immortal Pavilion, marketplace.

The youths strolled together through the marketplace. Little Kingfisher was not idle either, ordering his birds to gather information and ensure their safety on their return to the Capital City.

They stopped at a small booth selling seashell fragments, listening with interest to the owner recounting his dangerous experiences hunting sea beasts in the deep sea.

“Master, there has been a change in Fengqi’s court. Lu Gui and Lu Fu are fighting like cornered animals, leading their men to storm the Imperial Court and attempting to assassinate the Grand Commander of the Three Bureaus and eliminate others.”

At this moment, Little Kingfisher brought news from afar.

Lin Qingluo’s heart tightened with concern for Su Ziqin.

“Fortunately, the Grand Commander was prepared.”

Little Kingfisher’s intelligent black eyes flashed with relief: “Having turned the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard and a portion of the Security Battalion soldiers, they received early news and secretly made arrangements to thwart the conspiracy.”

“Phew.”

Lin Qingluo quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her anxious heart settling.

“The Grand Commander has secretly contacted Fourth Master Lin, hoping that the Lin Clan’s army can dispatch some troops to guard the Capital City, prevent treacherous people from causing chaos again, and endanger the safety of the people, causing widespread unrest.”

“The border troops returning to defend?”

Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: “Does Fourth Grandfather agree?”

“Fourth Master Lin, after obtaining Old Master’s consent, agreed to the Grand Commander’s request.”
