Zhao Hu chuckled, scratching the back of his head, and said, "After all these years, it's really hard to change it overnight."
"Think before you speak, oh, you need to have a brain first." Zhao Cheng smiled at the two women behind him and said, "Xiao Nuo, Yan Jiao, let's go to the top of the mountain!"
As Yuan Yun said, Zhao Chengyun went on a trip, taking only Zhou Nuo, Deng Yanjiao, and Zhao Hu's family with him.
After spending some time with Zhou Nuo in the cave where they had pledged their love, Zhao Cheng came out and drank with Zhao Hu by the campfire.
"Next stop: Jiangyang County. I'll accompany Yan Jiao to see her mother, then we'll take a trip to the south to see that brat Chang Gong and, incidentally, humiliate Yang Qingzhi..."
Zhao Hu handed the roasted rabbit leg to Zhao Cheng and asked, "Are you really not planning to go back to Changsui?"
“What’s the point of going back? Zhao Han has been established for ten years. It’s already the political center, no longer home. If you want to go home, you might as well go back to Yanchuan.”
"Actually, I've never understood why you didn't bring the mistress along, Master... Ah Cheng, I can understand why you didn't bring anyone else, but only Zhou Nuo and Deng Yanjiao?"
"Neither of them has children."
Zhao Cheng answered decisively, took a bite of the rabbit leg, and continued, "Cai'e and Donghua... need to stay with the child."
Zhao Hu said, "But you didn't even bring a single child with you."
"Which child of an emperor would be willing to come with me? Even if they were willing, their mothers and maternal clans might not be. Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; let them control their own fate."
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Yuxiao, who was sleeping in A Tao's arms not far away, and said, "Don't we have Zhao Yuxiao? You protected me your whole life, so let me protect this child from now on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Cheng felt a tap on the head. He turned around and saw Zhou Nuo and Yan Jiao walking over.
Zhou Nuo said, "Among the six of us, only you and Zhao Yuxiao don't know martial arts. We're protecting you two, not the other way around."
"It's like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs... Now even you dare to hit me on the head..."
Zhao Cheng handed over the rabbit leg: "Here, have some meat."
Zhou Nuo snorted and said, "When have I ever been afraid to hit you?"
"That's true, you are Lady Zhou!"
"It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me that. Say it again."
"Heroine Zhou!"
"The volume is too low."
"Heroine Zhou! Heroine Zhou!! Heroine Zhou!!!"
