Chapter 237 Heading to the Southwest! Mountains of Corpses and Seas of Blood
It was still dark and He Zhaojun was sleeping soundly. She heard the window frame snap and the familiar sound of someone climbing up the window. The bell trembled slightly. It was obvious that Wen Ziduan had come to disturb her sweet dream again.
"Zi Duan, why did you come so early today?"
He Zhaojun was still asleep and muttered something, but she didn't expect Wen Ziduan to take off his cool cloak and sit down in front of her bed. Looking at He Zhaojun's pink cheek, he couldn't help but reach out and rub it.
"Zhaojun... I heard from the palace physician Sun that you once used half a piece of spice and asked him to prepare an aromatherapy? Is it, is it... a warming effect?" He was sniffing, but the fragrance in He Zhaojun's room was no different from before, just the ordinary fragrance of flowers and fruits.
He Zhaojun turned over and drooled a little. "Before, the Third Princess framed the Fifth Prince and me, locked us up in a side hall, and even gave us some drugs. I kept half of them."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"After examining it, Doctor Sun said that this medicine was extremely rare and could be made into something harmless to the body by mixing it. So I gave the spices to him."
Wen Ziduan coughed lightly: "Actually, I, I really don't need this thing..." He was still thinking about the last time he didn't perform well, and thought that He Zhaojun had found it specially for him.
Although as a man, this kind of thing somewhat hurt his self-esteem, but when he thought that He Zhaojun cared so much about his health, wanted to face and solve this matter together, and deliberately kept it from him, he felt a little happy in his heart.
"I can do it myself...but if you like, I, I..."
It’s not that I can’t accept it.
He grabbed He Zhaojun's hand through the quilt.
"Well, General Huo will probably like it." He Zhaojun was not fully awake at this moment. She had no idea what Wen Ziduan was doing so early in the morning and did not understand what he meant at all.
Wen Ziduan was stunned when he heard this: "Ah? Zisheng?"
"Well, I sent some to Shao Shang to prevent the two of them from getting bored during the long nights. In this way, I believe that a little Shao Shang will be born soon for me to play with."
He Zhaojun sat up, rubbed her eyes, and glanced at Wen Ziduan who was stunned.
"What happened?"
"...It's nothing. It's time to set off. Your fourth brother He Yue is still waiting outside." Wen Ziduan held his forehead and sighed.
He Zhaojun, He Zhaojun, you are so concerned about other people's affairs, when will you take care of your own little piece of land? Your old ox feels neglected and wants to plow the land too.
The journey was long. If one had traveled by horse or car, crossing mountains and ridges, it would have taken more than a month to arrive. However, the He family's Dashuiqi had already had several sailing experiences and had opened up a waterway, so they could reach Jianwei County in ten days.[56]
After getting over the seasickness, He Zhaojun was surprised by the magnificent scenery on the waterway. She was only a little worried about her father and brother, and her melancholy mood had mostly dissipated.
A skilled water maid came over to report, "Young Lady, we'll reach Qianwei Commandery in half a day's sail. Do you need to inform Qianwei's deputy commander, Jin Jianxiong, to come and greet us?"
"It doesn't matter. If he is on guard and clears the traces in advance, it will be inconvenient for us to investigate." He Zhaojun unfolded the feng shui map, spread it on the table, and marked it with a small magnetic flag, trying to find a breakthrough point.
After a while, she picked up the telescope hanging around her neck and looked around. "The Shu Road is as difficult as climbing to the sky. The plank road here is truly a masterpiece of nature. Come and see it."
Wen Ziduan also turned the telescope in the direction she pointed, but his expression suddenly changed. He quickly adjusted the telescope and looked again: "Zhaojun, is that a corpse hanging on that cliff?"
