His steps were so powerful and his body was so light. It was obvious that he had practiced martial arts. He also spoke in an extraordinary manner and did not look like a coward at all.
She needs someone like this by her side right now. There is strength in numbers, and she can't miss any of them. Daddy, she must make sure he comes out safe and sound.
She couldn't let such a woman go, "Wait!"
Zhou Zhaonuan quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed the woman's arm.
"I wonder what this lady is going to do?"
Since they have different ideas and cannot work together, she didn't want to have anything to do with the person in front of her, so she was about to leave.
This little girl's personality was so much to her liking that Zhou Zhaonuan didn't want to let her go. She shook her head and whispered.
"Can we talk further? I have something to ask of you!"
Zhou Zhaonuan said this in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. The woman raised her head and stared at Zhou Zhaonuan for a while, then withdrew her arm.
"Okay, but I'll only give you a quarter of an hour."
Zhou Zhaonuan nodded happily. At a time like this, she would definitely not be pretentious. Even if she was a princess, if she wanted someone to join her, she had to have a reason.
"Thank you, thank you!"
There were people coming and going at the moment. Zhou Zhaonuan looked around and found that no one could see them. Or perhaps they wanted to pay attention to them. Zhou Zhaonuan made up her mind and went straight to the woman and introduced herself in a low voice.
"This young lady is very eloquent and, from what I can see, also very skilled. I sensed a hint of frustration in your words just now. I am Princess Chang'an. I wonder if you would be willing to join me and work together to bring glory to our country and achieve great things."
After the unhurried words were spoken, the woman was stunned. Just now, she looked at Zhou Zhaonuan with a hint of contempt, but now, she was completely surprised.
She paused, smiled sweetly, and did not reject Zhou Zhaonuan's words.
"My name is Liu Ruolan. How did you know that I know martial arts?"
He smiled back, "That's easy. You can tell from the way the young lady walks and her personality."
"That's all right. I'm here to see Princess Chang'an. As long as the princess is willing, I'm willing to give it a try."
Now, Liu Ruobulan no longer had any doubts about Zhou Zhaonuan. Even the most cunning and gloomy person would be surprised when they couldn't find their loved ones, and even be filled with sorrow. But now, the little princess helped her get out of that state of mind so quickly, which was enough to show that she was not an ordinary person. In that case, she was willing to join.
Otherwise, she would be unworthy of the oath she had made to her master.
"Okay, that's great, Ruolan, from now on, just call me Nuannuan. With me, there aren't so many restrictions on my identity."
Zhou Zhaonuan didn't know why, but she felt close to the girl in front of her who was about her age. She had a sixth instinct that letting her join must be the right decision.
"Okay, Nuannuan, since you said so, then I'll do this."
Liu Ruolan showed a mischievous smile, and Zhou Zhaonuan couldn't help but smile at the contrast. However, when she raised her head again and saw the huge crowd, her heart couldn't be restrained again.
In the military camp.
Ye Chouxiu said to Yingpin's father, "Old Wu, why can't I understand the emperor's move? Just this morning, when morale was high, we could have easily taken the Yuan Kingdom's first city in one fell swoop. What does the emperor want to do? At a time like this, you're giving yourself away as bait. Isn't he afraid that he'll really... What will he do to us then?"
Ye Chouxiu was wearing a military uniform and his skin was the same yellow as wheat. He was fidgeting and moving back and forth on the ground.
General Wu had his eyes closed, but he opened them instantly. He seemed to have great faith in Zhou Beichen.
"In my opinion, the emperor must have his reasons for doing this, General Ye. The emperor has fought as many battles as you and me. For now, there should be no danger. Besides, isn't the Shadow Guard Commander still with him? In my opinion, instead of groping in the dark here, we should think carefully about how to fight the next battle. The emperor is missing today, but they didn't gain any advantage. Countless casualties have been suffered. I think tomorrow morning, they will probably take up their courage and attack again. Should we take this city or not?"
General Ye sighed, "A spy just reported back that the people in the city somehow learned of the Emperor's disappearance and are now evacuating on their own."
He chuckled to himself, "In that case, let's retreat first to be on the safe side."
The two looked into each other's eyes and made a decision immediately.
By the time the people had finished running, it was already evening. The sun had set and the inn was deserted. It was at this time that the news of Zhou Zhaonuan's arrival at the border reached General Ye's ears.
He was drinking water at the time, and after hearing this, he spat it out in one breath.
He slammed the table angrily, "What...what? You said Princess Chang'an is here. Are you sure you saw it right? Is it really her?"
General Ye was going crazy. The battlefield was dangerous. Why did a little girl like her come here to join in the fun? She might be scared to pee her pants before she even got to the battlefield.
"General, yes, when our spies were trying to see if anyone had sneaked into the city, they stumbled upon a group of people staying in an empty inn. They had already prepared their own meals. There were quite a few women among them, and it was obvious they were following Princess Chang'an."
Although the spy had never seen Zhou Zhaonuan's true face, the fact that Zhou Beichen gave her a female shadow guard was known to everyone in the country.
"It's bad. If that ignorant little girl in my arms really doesn't fear death and fights them tomorrow, or if she, with her childish heart, goes alone into the enemy camp to save her father and gets captured by the enemy, we'll be in a real passive position."
General Ye's heart trembled, his blood rushed to his head, and he almost floated up.
Lamented.
"It's really like one problem after another. No, this general has to go over and see where they are. Lead the way."
General Ye did this because, firstly, he didn't want Zhou Zhaonuan to go alone to save her father and fall into the hands of the enemy; secondly, he didn't want a little girl like Zhou Zhaonuan to cause trouble. What could she do with her mediocre kung fu?
However, what General Ye didn't know was that in the past few years, Zhou Zhaonuan had read one military book after another, and had never stopped practicing martial arts for more than 300 days a year. No matter it was windy or rainy, she persisted with her evil strength.
"Nuannuan, speaking of that old general in the military camp, I think he's quite formidable. In my opinion, even if you were a princess, he wouldn't necessarily use you. He wants you to fight with him. What do you think?"
Liu Ruolan thought about the bad meal she had at Ye Chouxiu's place today, and intuitively felt that this trip would not be very smooth for them.
