Chapter 268 Probably Like
"In front! Go faster!"
Under the scorching sun, beads of sweat rolled into my eyes, blurring my vision and making it impossible to see the road beneath my feet.
Yun Ya staggered, and even though her clothes were soaked with sweat, she did not even utter a single cry.
"You've been following Yan Mu for a month, and now that your identity has been exposed, he doesn't even care about our past friendship." Suo Meng's lips were white and cracked, but he was still unforgiving. He injured one eye, and sweat flowed into the gauze, making it sticky and unbearable. "You attacked me for him, you're really an idiot."
Yun Ya shook her head, swishing away the beads of sweat that were about to flow into her eyes. She bit her tongue and forced herself to wake up. "You were the one who broke the contract first and wanted to give me to Huo Beiting. I am seeking justice for myself."
"How dare you say you're ruthless to him?" Somon sneered, exposing her little thoughts. "You've already changed your mind, so how can you have the nerve to blame me?"
Yun Ya lowered her head and said nothing, too lazy to pay any more attention to him.
The midsummer heat was unbearable, and even some soldiers were grumbling in dissatisfaction, but Yun Ya remained silent and walked for a long time.
She had known for a long time that Yan Mu was also in the military team today.
She couldn't embarrass herself.
But she couldn't see the road clearly...
The next moment, she collapsed to the ground, unconscious, with blood flowing down her calves.
"Yun Ya!"
When she opened her eyes again, she saw the very pretty girl again, "Miss Zhao..."
Hearing this, Su Cheng turned around and looked at her, his eyes curved with a smile, "Awake?"
Yun Ya raised her head and looked around, only to find herself lying on a small couch in the carriage.
The carriage was much larger and more stable than ordinary carriages. The small couch was very spacious. There was a small stove for making fire and even a table with a bronze mirror. It was as if the whole house had been moved into the carriage. It was a novel carriage that she had never seen before.
Yun Ya couldn't help but be curious and asked quietly, "Why am I... here?"
"You fainted. Someone carry you to me." Su Cheng turned his back to her and threw a piece of painkiller he bought at the mall into the earthenware jar. As if sensing her confusion, he whispered, "This carriage was used by the emperor on his southern tours. It's spacious and convenient, and it can accommodate a person sleeping inside. If it weren't for this carriage, the team would probably have stopped if you fainted."
Yun Ya paused, "Outside—"
"Just lie down and relax. You won't interfere with what's going on outside." Su Cheng handed her hot goat's milk with painkillers, then gently lifted her coat and placed a hot towel on her flat belly. "Don't you know you're having your period? You're already feeling dizzy, and you've come a long way. If you don't feel dizzy, who will?"
Yun Ya was stunned for a moment by her subconscious intimacy. In her memory, even Ana had never taken care of her like this.
"Try it. How does this goat milk taste?" Su Cheng smiled at her, revealing a row of neat white teeth. "You're from the northwest, so you should be able to get used to it."
"Why are you so nice to me?" Yun Ya felt a warm sensation on her belly. She looked up at her, her watery almond eyes filled with concern for her. "I...amn't I a prisoner of war?"
"Prisoners of war are human beings too." Su Cheng handed the remaining goat milk to Cai Lian, who was driving the cart outside, and turned around to say, "Although you are from the northwest, you have never done anything to harm Da Qi. Maybe you had thoughts in the past, but at least you took other people into consideration and did not act according to the original plan."
"Neither the monarch nor the common people want war to happen, but the northwest has been causing trouble time and time again. If the emperor continues to tolerate it, Princess Rongqing's experience will happen again."
Yun Ya turned away, a look of shame on her face. "In the beginning, Suo Meng's original intention was just to get food and cloth, and he also wanted to make friends with Da Qi. But later, he forgot his original intention and coveted Da Qi's land. That's why he joined forces with Huo Beiting and helped him commit treason."
"Miss Zhao, whether you believe it or not, most of the people in the northwest just want more food to eat."
Su Cheng was silent for a long time before he said softly, "Drink the goat milk quickly while it's still hot."
Yun Ya stood up and looked down at a few red dates floating in the goat's milk. "Miss Zhao, I want to ask who... brought me here?"
Su Cheng choked and subconsciously looked towards the car window.
Yun Ya seemed to have noticed something. She leaned over, lifted the small curtain, looked out, and suddenly met a pair of eyes not far away.
Yan Mu quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet her gaze. He kicked his horse's belly and ran away for a long distance.
"Yan..." Yun Ya subconsciously wanted to call him, but the words were stuck in her lips and she couldn't say a word.
How could she have the qualifications to call his name now?
In his mind, he was just a liar.
"I really don't understand. Two people with two mouths, but they can't even say a complete sentence. If they like someone, then they like him. Why hide it?"
Yun Ya's body stiffened for a moment when she heard complaints from behind. She lowered her head silently, and her earlobes turned slightly red.
Do you like it?
Her fingertips gently touched the edge of the bowl.
Probably like it.
Yun Ya raised her head and drank the warm goat milk in the bowl. Only then did she feel better. "Thank you, Miss Zhao. I'm feeling better now and can get off the car and leave."
"Just stay here with me." Su Cheng sighed softly and shook his head helplessly, "Yan Mu has already knelt before the emperor and begged for mercy for you. Yue Xin doesn't have to accompany the army these days. I will keep an eye on you."
"He..." Yun Ya paused, doubting her ears for a moment.
"Can that twisted person watch you die?" Su Cheng pulled the corner of his lips and whispered, "Miss Yun Ya, you showed up when Yan Mu was in the most difficult time and healed his wounded heart. He will always treat you differently. You are not the only one who is trapped in that month's memories and can't get out."
Yun Ya closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly, and she muttered to herself, "But I was wrong from the beginning..."

Northwestern Frontier
"If we can't cross this river, we'll be exhausted and die here sooner or later." Dou Mingwei's face was extremely grim. Although it was a sunny day, he felt a chill all over his body. "A Ming, there is very little food and grass left. The other side of the river is heavily guarded. If our people show up, they will be shot to pieces."
Xie Ming's face turned pale. He held his forehead and looked coldly at the soldiers beside him, "How long can the remaining food and grass last?"
"If we save a little, the horses won't have much fodder left in half a month." The soldier lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye. "But General Xie, we're all living on the edge of a knife. If we don't eat enough, the soldiers will have no strength. If the fodder runs out, the horses won't run fast."
"It's like the other side of the river has opened a third eye, predicting every step we take. There must be someone with great wisdom guiding us." Dou Mingwei closed his eyes, feeling somewhat pained. "If only my sister-in-law were here, we could calculate on both sides and see who can outsmart the other!"
"I sent a letter requesting the prince to send troops for support long ago, why is there no response?"
"It's hard to say whether the letter can be delivered to the capital. Perhaps it was intercepted along the way." Xie Ming's face was gloomy, and his fingertips gently stroked the spear in his hand. "It's better to rely on yourself than on others. General, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to replenish the food supply."
