1526 Such Good Physical Shape
Yaoyao’s heart was still beating wildly after she left the room.
She had never expected Beitang You to be in such good physical shape when he looked so skinny on the surface.
Yaoyao had even almost saw…
She jumped when she realized how inappropriate her thoughts were. She shook her head and quickly left the coaching inn.
Yaoyao had just left when Chen Jin arrived.
!!He waited outside the door when he heard that his master was taking a bath.
After some time, Beitang You was done. He came out and instructed Chen Jin, “You can tidy up inside now.”
“Yes, Master.” Chen Jin nodded and asked, “Master, was Princess Yaoyao here just now?”
“Yaoyao?” Beitang You gave him a questioning look. “Why would Princess Yaoyao be here? Isn’t she at West Water Frontier?”
Chen Jin realized his master had no idea of what happened when he saw this and he smiled bitterly. “I was knocked unconscious by Princess Yaoyao last night and she locked me in the woodshed. She took my uniform, and I guess she must have disguised herself as me and followed you here. I’ve only just arrived and General Chu Qi instructed me to pa.s.s this letter to you. Please read it, Master.”
Beitang You took the letter and quickly read it. Just as Chen Jin had described, Yaoyao was in the Yan Kingdom. She had disguised herself as Chen Jin and pa.s.sed through the frontier with him.
His face flushed red and then a shade of green at this thought.
That would mean that the ‘Chen Jin’ who had helped him out of his clothes was not Chen Jin, but Yaoyao in disguise.
When Chen Jin noticed the look on his master’s face, he said worriedly, “Is there a problem, Master?”
Beitang You collected himself and ordered grimly, “Hurry and bring some men to track down Princess Yaoyao. She has just left and must not be far away.”
“Yes, Master.” Chen Jin left to make arrangements.
Beitang You found this a little frustrating.
That cheeky girl was pretty brazen to have disguised as his personal guard. She had even…
He stood on the spot for quite a while. He was not able to let this slide. He led his men to personally track her down.
After Yaoyao left the coaching inn, she did not leave the frontier town immediately.
Since she was here to have some fun, she wanted to take her time to admire the scenery along the way. Otherwise, she would be here for nothing.
However, being alone out here meant that it would be more convenient to be disguised as a man. That was why she maintained Chen Jin’s ‘face’ after changing into lighter men’s attire.
The Yan Kingdom and Great Shang were now in an open trade relations.h.i.+p, which meant that the frontier town of the Yan Kingdom was bustling with people.
She rested for an entire afternoon at the inn. When night came, she antic.i.p.ated that Beitang You and his men would have already left the frontier town. It was only then that she walked out of the inn in a carefree manner with a folding fan in her hand. She was planning to walk around the street.
However, Yaoyao had no idea that Beitang You already found out she had followed him to the Yan Kingdom. He was busy turning the whole town over trying to find her. When he failed to locate her, he sent Chen Jin to follow the path toward the capital city to find any trace of her. He even risked revealing his ident.i.ty to get the local commanding general of the frontier town to help find her.
That was why the entire town was now on the lookout for her.
When she walked onto the streets, she noticed everyone staring at her and found it a little strange.
She touched her face questioningly. Chen Jin’s face was considered good-looking, but he was not that attractive, was he? Or were the Yan Kingdom’s beauty standards different from those elsewhere?
When she walked out of the alley, she was stunned to see a man waiting for her on a horse. She laughed drily. “What a coincidence, Emperor Beitang!” A look flashed in her eyes. For some reason, she was reminded of the scene of Beitang You without clothes the moment she saw him.
“This isn’t a coincidence. I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while, Princess.” Beitang You looked at her stoically.
Yaoyao noticed the unfriendly tone and knew that she had been caught. She gulped and took one step back.
