The old man in front of him was very powerful and knew the secret of his own demonic cultivation. Zhou Yiqiao actually had no possibility of rejecting him.

He bowed his hands in salute, and his expression was extremely sincere, not changing at all based on what he was thinking.

"It is an honor for me as a junior to work for Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo, just give me your orders!"

After Zhou Yiqiao finished speaking, he remained silent, only waiting for the other party to give orders.

Mr. Luo did not look back, but his tone was full of smiles, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Yiqiao's attitude.

"You don't have to be so serious. I need you to go to the northern battlefield with Princess Fengxiao as her escort to ensure the safety of the princess."

"Princess Fengxiao?"

Zhou Yiqiao whispered in confusion. He had been in Chu for more than a year and had never heard of a princess titled Fengxiao.

"Yes, Princess Fengxiao is over 10 years old, and she is a newly canonized princess by the Emperor of Chu."

Mr. Luo answered Zhou Yiqiao's doubts, explained aloud, and then continued.

"Thirteen years ago, the Holy Emperor personally conquered and wiped out all the high-level combat power among the Eagle Clan barbarians who had been entrenched in the northern part of the Chu Kingdom."

"Nowadays, there are only some remnants of the Eagle Clan barbarians left in the northern battlefield. It has long become a place for the sons of aristocratic families to improve their achievements."

"The reason why Princess Fengxiao wants to go to the northern battlefield is because her sweetheart is there."

Zhou Yiqiao was respectful, and after Mr. Luo finished speaking, he asked his question.

"Although there is no threat in the northern battlefield, the Holy Emperor would actually allow his children to go to the front line to face the danger?"

Mr. Luo's voice was as cold as the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month.

"The Chu Kingdom is now conquering all directions. This is the time to practice martial arts. The northern battlefield is the safest place. Naturally, the Holy Emperor will not refuse the requests of the princesses and princes."

"Besides..."

Mr. Luo's voice became even colder.

"Princess Fengxiao is my granddaughter."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao quickly changed the subject and asked again.

"When will Princess Fengxiao leave?"

Mr. Luo took a deep breath, calmed down and said.

"Princess Fengxiao will go to the northern battlefield tomorrow."

"You have to remember that you only need to ensure the safety of Princess Fengxiao. As for her sweetheart, you don't need to care."

After saying this, Mr. Luo sighed as if he had exhausted all his strength, and then waved his hand without looking back.

"You can go down now. I promised you that after you stay away from the imperial city, the fight for the right to inherit the throne will no longer be entangled with you. This will not change."

"At midnight tomorrow, the princess will set off from the north gate. You need to go to Princess Fengxiao's mansion half an hour earlier to meet the princess."

"If you encounter danger on the way, I will arrive as soon as possible after you crush the jade talisman I gave you."

"Junior, take your orders!"

Zhou Yiqiao gave a solemn salute, officially accepting this task.

The next day, Zhou Yiqiao arrived at Princess Fengxiao's mansion early and followed an old man in front of the mansion into the princess's mansion.

Although the old man's beard and hair are all white, his complexion is rosy and energetic, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building.

When the old man saw Zhou Yiqiao approaching, he was not surprised at all. He took him to the side hall, gave Zhou Yiqiao a set of guard outfits and spoke.

"The old prince has informed me about the young master. I would like to thank the young master in advance for taking care of the princess along the way."

This old man behaves well and his tone is full of care for the princess. At first glance, he is the old man who has been following him for a long time.

Zhou Yiqiao saluted after hearing this.

"The old gentleman is serious. I have been taken care of by Mr. Luo many times. It is appropriate to do something for Mr. Luo that I can do."

After hearing this, the old man stroked his gray beard with great pleasure and reminded him kindly.

"The princess is now focused on the eldest son of Duke Cheng. She may offend the young master with words along the way. I am here to apologize to the princess first. I hope the young master will not mind when the time comes."

Zhou Yiqiao had already been mentally prepared for this when he agreed to Mr. Luo, and immediately waved his hand.

"Old sir, this is serious. The princess is worth a fortune, so it's only right to scold the servants."

The old man was extremely satisfied with what Zhou Yiqiao had done. He held his hand and kept telling him what he needed to pay attention to on the road. The conversation lasted half an hour.

A pretty maid ran out first. After looking at Zhou Yiqiao, she said to the old man.

"Uncle Fu, the princess is about to come out. Uncle Fu, go prepare the chariot first."

Uncle Fu agreed with a smile and took Zhou Yiqiao to the stables in the mansion. There were already three men dressed as guards waiting here.

The three of them were all in the early stages of foundation building, and when they saw Zhou Yiqiao following Uncle Fu, there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Fu Bao walked forward first, pointed at Zhou Yiqiao and introduced to the three of them.

"This boy is a distant relative of me, and he is also one of the escorts of the princess heading to the northern battlefield this time. Please take care of the three of you on the way."

"You two should get acquainted, and I will prepare the chariot for the princess first."

When the three of them heard that Zhou Yiqiao was actually a relative of the housekeeper of the princess's mansion, they immediately started to compliment him.

Because Zhou Yiqiao concealed his true cultivation level and called himself a junior to the three of them, he quickly became involved with the three of them.

After everyone talked over a cup of tea, they saw Uncle Fu driving a gorgeous chariot towards the three of them.

"You may wish to communicate with each other on the way, and don't delay the princess's trip."

Hearing this, the four people from Zhou Yiqiao each took a cloud-stepping horse from the stable, and followed Uncle Fu to the front of the mansion to wait for the princess to arrive.

The group waited for about a quarter of an hour before Princess Fengxiao finally walked out of the mansion with a personal maid.

I saw that her black hair was like a waterfall, her skin was like fat, her eyebrows were like smoke, and her eyes were like flowing light. Although her appearance was not a stunning one, it was still full of charm and playfulness.

She was wearing an apricot yellow dress, and the bells on her waist jingled as she walked, which was really nice.

Zhou Yiqiao and the other three guards dismounted and bowed to pay homage to the woman in front of him.

Princess Fengxiao was in a good mood. She asked everyone to stand up with a smile, and called Uncle Fu kindly before stepping into the carriage.

When Princess Fengxiao sat firmly in the chariot, the four people from Zhou Yiqiao used their horns to guard the chariot and walked slowly towards the north of the imperial city.

Seeing that he was finally on his way, Zhou Yiqiao sighed secretly in his heart.

Although this princess was only in her twenties and was already at the early stage of foundation building, her cultivation level was as frivolous as a castle in the air. It was obvious that she had hurriedly set off after breaking through the realm without having time to consolidate her cultivation level.

Recalling the conversation with Mr. Luo yesterday, Zhou Yiqiao finally understood why Mr. Luo kept lamenting.

At the moment, I just hope that Princess Fengxiao will not get carried away by the Crown Prince Cheng Guo, so as not to add unnecessary trouble to her mission.
