Chapter 1269: Chapter 1268: If Only He Didn’t Exist

From the Imperial City to Baijing Village, it takes more than half a day’s journey.

However, this time, they are not going to Baijing Village first, but to Xinhua Village, which is closer to the Imperial City.

When they were about two li away from the village entrance, Chu Qianli waved her hand, ordering the convoy to stop.

Over at Lan Fan’s end, Chu Minghao immediately spurred his horse forward, with a displeased expression: "Miss Chu..."

"Princely Heir Minghao, watch your tone," Chu Lingyang immediately darkened his face, his voice dropping as well.

Though Chu Minghao felt unreconciled, there was a time when Chu Qianli was merely a prisoner at his feet.

But with the Prince here, he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous for the time being.

He could only call out with a cold face, "Your Highness the Princess!"

"The matter is of utmost urgency. Master Lan is to perform the ritual to offer salvation to the deceased tomorrow morning. The altar for the ritual must be set up tonight, and there are many preparations to make; we cannot afford the slightest delay!"

So, why stop here?

"Prince Erbo has sent some supplies; everyone please wait for a moment," said Chu Qianli.

Chu Minghao was even more dissatisfied: "We have already brought all the necessary supplies, and the food and clothing will also be delivered soon; we can just regroup when we arrive at Xinhua Village. What need is there to wait here?"

"Some supplies must be delivered before we enter the village; everyone will need them."

"What supplies are so urgent?" Chu Minghao pressed, unwilling to compromise in the slightest, "Is it because Her Highness the Princess cannot bear hardship and needs to rest here?"

"Princely Heir Minghao!" Chu Lingyang only now realized just how domineering King Yu and his son could be!

They showed no respect in the presence of Her Highness the Princess.

Such an attitude was truly disrespectful.

He said displeasedly, "Her Highness the Princess has said, after the flood, there must be..."

"Prince Erbo," Chu Qianli stretched out her hand, gesturing for him to stay calm.

Chu Lingyang was a good person, honest and straightforward, but sometimes too straightforward in his thinking.

After some thought, Chu Lingyang also realized his mistake.

This time he ignored Chu Minghao, riding forward to the front of the column, his voice resonant: "Everyone stop here for a rest before we set off! Captains of all teams, assemble immediately!"

All temporary captains of the teams in the rear, including the captains of the scout team ahead, rushed over as well.

This mode of travel, led by temporary captains, was proposed by Chu Qianli this morning.

Because the convoy was really long, it was impossible to supervise from front to back at all times; small issues had to be dealt with by the captains of each team on the spot.

And it turned out to be a good approach, one that Chu Lingyang had never thought of before!

In any case, all small problems along the way were handled by the captains of each team without affecting the main convoy.

The captains of the teams arrived swiftly.

Despite his displeased expression, Chu Minghao went back to consult with Lan Fan, and then came over, trying to be patient.

"Your Highness the Princess," Chu Minghao reiterated in front of everyone, "the situation is urgent. While we can rest, the common people cannot wait. Please, Your Highness the Princess, do not let personal convenience..."

"Prince Erbo, have your men arrived?" Chu Qianli suddenly interrupted.

Chu Minghao was stunned, his face instantly turning the color of liver!

This wretch!

This wretched woman actually cut off his words!

And in front of so many people, showing him no respect at all!

"Princess..."

"They are here!" Chu Lingyang was somewhat excited for no apparent reason, waving his hand, "Send for Deputy Commander Xi to come over."

So, pretending not to hear someone talk feels this satisfying.

It’s Little Lili who is smart—people you don’t like hearing, just pretend they are... um, civilized!

Just act as if they don’t exist!
