Chapter 431 There is a situation called an accident
Seeing Ji Yunshu chatting with her without any precautions, Liu Yan said, "It's too hot today. No one can stand going on the road like this. Why don't we just take a break?"
Ji Yunshu said happily, "That's great. I was worried that this would delay your trip. I was just about to tell you that if you're in a hurry, you can leave first."
Liu Yan's eyes moved slightly, and she asked with a smile, "Sister Yun, don't you want to go to the royal city quickly?"
Ji Yunshu spread his hands and said, "I think so, but this road is too tiring to walk on, and it's so hot during the day, it's really unbearable. Anyway, it's the same day or night, so I might as well walk slower."
Liu Yan advised, "Sister Yun, this is your first time here, so you don't know the situation here. Don't think the journey has been smooth. That's because we have so many people, and our Liu family has a certain reputation. Most people don't dare to provoke us. If Sister Yun had gone on her own, she might not have encountered any trouble."
Ji Yunshu said, "I know, that's why I really want to go with you."
Liu Yan didn't know whether she really didn't understand what she said or was just being perfunctory.
The delicious aroma of fish soup wafted through the tent. Liu Yan glanced at Zhao Shen, who was busy cooking the soup, and then at Ji Yunshu. The two of them really didn't seem to be in a hurry. They probably didn't want to hurry on their way under the scorching sun.
She felt inexplicably relaxed and said with a smile, "It would be best if we could go together. Sister Yun doesn't have to worry about anything else."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm not worried. I've always had good luck. Look, I met you and your sister right after entering Mobei. We've had people protecting us all the way, don't you think?"
Liu Yan said, "Sister Yun is right, but we still have to be careful. Sister Yun only brought so many people to Mobei. Aren't your family members worried?"
Ji Yunshu said, "What's there to worry about? You're here too. I heard your Liu family is a prominent clan in Hejian. Do families like that expect their children to make their own way in society?"
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "We are not the direct descendants. There are so many people in the clan, how can everyone enjoy wealth and prosperity?"
"But leading a caravan to Mobei is such a tiring and dangerous task. Aren't there servants who can do it? Why bother you and Master Liu to come in person?"
The Liu family is different from those pure merchants. For such a big family, it is okay for sons to gain experience, but daughters should be raised in seclusion.
Especially a beautiful daughter like Liu Yan.
But from Liu Yan's behavior, it can be seen that she is also out and about managing things on weekdays.
Liu Yan said, "All the children in our family have to go out and gain experience when they reach a certain age, even the girls are no exception."
Ji Yunshu seemed to be lost in thought. It sounded like the Liu family treated women very well, and they had the same opportunities as men.
But if that was the case, why would Liu Yan be given to the Mobei people?
Don't talk about normal marriage, that's just normal marriage between ordinary people.
The only people the Liu family could cling to were the powerful and influential people in Mobei.
How could a man like that marry a woman from Da Xia?
Ji Yunshu pondered this and asked, "Do women enjoy the same treatment as men? Your Liu family is really nice."
There was a hint of envy in her tone.
Liu Yan smiled bitterly, "It's not easy for a woman to get the same treatment as a man."
Ji Yunshu looked puzzled: "Isn't that so?"
Liu Yan said: "Of course not..."
At this point, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Sister Yun is very interested in our family?"
Ji Yunshu said nonchalantly, "Isn't this just idle chat? In this world, there aren't many women who can walk around like Miss Liu."
So there was nothing strange about her being curious about the Liu family.
At this time, Zhao Shen suddenly said, "The soup is ready."
Liu Yan looked towards him and saw him sitting by the stove at the door, holding a bowl of dried soup in his hand.
Ji Yunshu immediately smiled: "Is it ready so soon?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "Fish meat is cooked as soon as it is cooked. If it is cooked for too long, it will not taste good."
Liu Yan then realized that she had said too much and stood up to say goodbye.
After she walked a distance, she couldn't help but look back at the tent that was still filled with the aroma of fish soup.
Thinking about the conversation just now, my heart felt heavy.
She originally wanted to ask Ji Yunshu some questions, and now she has told him a lot about the Liu family, but she still knows nothing about Ji Yunshu.
Inside the tent, Ji Yunshu drank the soup from the bowl and found that it tasted surprisingly good.
She looked at Zhao Shen with some suspicion: "Isn't this your first time making fish soup?"
Zhao Shen laughed: "If this is my first time making it, how dare I show off in front of you? If I don't do it well, won't this pot of soup be wasted?"
"But where do you get the chance to practice cooking?"
"I used to be alone when I went out, and since I'm a picky eater, I naturally had to cook for myself. The reason I wasn't very skilled just now was simply because I hadn't done it in a while."
Ji Yunshu praised: "You are really amazing."
Zhao Shen also poured himself a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.
After eating meat for a few days in a row and drinking some soup, my stomach felt soothed.
Ji Yunshu drank two bowls in a row before stopping and asking Zhao Shen, "Why did you interrupt my conversation with Liu Yan just now?"
She specifically ordered some relaxing spices, which could not be smelled when mixed into the fish soup. She wanted to take the opportunity to ask Liu Yan some questions.
Zhao Shen shook his head: "She's already said enough. If I ask her any more, it will make her wary or she'll discover something, which would be bad."
Ji Yunshu thought about it and frowned as she recalled what she had just said. "Do you feel that there is something wrong with the Liu family?"
She didn't know much and couldn't tell what was wrong, but she just felt something was wrong.
Zhao Shen said, "Aristocratic families have their own ways of survival. The Liu family is doing a good job of letting their children go out and gain experience."
Ji Yunshu said, "But according to the world's perspective, shouldn't a woman of Liu Yan's age get married? What's the point of gaining experience?"
Zhao Shen was also confused: "There will always be a chance to find out, but the most important thing now is to find out what exactly the Liu family is doing in Mobei this time."
Liu Ze is the legitimate son of the Liu family. Letting such a person take risks personally must be a big deal.
The weather was so hot that it made people feel sleepy, so they went to bed after dinner.
Ji Yunshu had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by the sound of fighting outside.
Zhao Shen also opened his eyes at the same time. The two looked at each other and looked outside together.
Zhao Shen stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Ji Yunshu subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.
Zhao Shen patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Don't you still trust me?"
Ji Yunshu is certainly trustworthy, but there is also a kind of situation in this world called accidents.
There is still a poison in Zhao Shen's body that may be activated at any time.
Knowing that they would be separated for a few days, Ji Yunshu's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.
But she finally let go of his hand: "Be careful."
Zhao Shen leaned over and kissed her: "You too."
After saying that, he walked out.
He knew that these people were coming for him, so he took the initiative to lead them away and save Ji Yunshu from trouble.
He didn't want to give Liu Ze the chance to save Ji Yunshu.
