Chapter 321 Newlyweds and Long-Awaited Reunion
If Wen Ziduan knew about Ti Houshan's strange train of thought, he would have been furious. But the people of Mobei are straightforward and like to speak their mind. Besides, Chinese is not Ti Houshan's native language. To Ti Houshan, this sounded like a declaration of sovereignty.
"Oh, oh...don't be angry, I'll just leave."
Ti Houshan rubbed the back of his head, looking back every few steps. This Lady Duan was not only knowledgeable and well-informed about all things in the palace, but also, unlike the Han people's euphemisms and subtleties, she was very straightforward and passionate, which was quite to his liking.
Wen Ziduan was completely unaware of these beautiful misunderstandings in his heart. Every time Ti Houshan approached He Zhaojun, he was like a hedgehog, wishing he could hide He Zhaojun in his arms.
But the more this happened, the more often Ti Houshan came, seemingly becoming more courageous with each defeat. Wen Ziduan had no choice but to constantly carry a mace, beating Ti Houshan whenever he saw her. However, Ti Houshan seemed delighted, giving Wen Ziduan goosebumps.
"No, if we keep going like this, when will we reach the northwest? I can wait, but my father and brother can't." He Zhaojun saw that the convoy was moving slowly and was gradually getting away from the sight of the people in the capital. It was time to pack light and head for the northwest immediately.
Shao Shang was also anxious. She had been walking on the road for the past few days and had not received any letters from Zisheng. She didn't know what the war situation was like. She was so worried that she couldn't eat.
So that night, several people arranged many matters in the caravan, packed their luggage, and took a small team of cavalry. Ti Houshan also selected a dozen good Huns to form a team of less than a hundred people. They took advantage of the night to leave the main force and rode towards the northwest.
Within Han territory, the team had a guide who was very familiar with the terrain. They took a shortcut, avoiding all eyes and ears, leading everyone to Yumen Pass. He Zhaojun, always on the battlefield, had adapted to this kind of intense running, but Shao Shang seemed even more exhausted. Although she had practiced diligently, her long stay in the palace meant she couldn't grasp the tricks for a while.
He Zhaojun noticed her fatigue and brought her to her horse, running with her. Along the way, the mountains and rivers gradually opened up, the tall trees gradually became sparse, and several continuous tall grasslands appeared.
"Whoa!" He Zhaojun tightened the reins and the team stopped. She reached out to touch Shao Shang's forehead, only to feel it burning hot.
She and Wen Ziduan exchanged a glance and shook their heads. Everyone was exhausted, and this place was close to the Han border. If they encountered the Northern Xiongnu cavalry, they would probably be powerless to fight back.
He Zhaojun dismounted, reached out to help Shao Shang down, told him to cook and rest on the spot, and then called the accompanying military medical officer to come over.
"If I had known earlier, I would have agreed to Long Feibai's request to join the army and brought him with me, so that you wouldn't have to suffer so much." He Zhaojun felt a little sad that she had not taken good care of Shao Shang.
Shao Shang shook his head: "Long Feibai said that after a period of acupuncture, Jun Gu will be able to wake up. This is simply the best news. She is Zisheng's last blood relative in the world, so I am naturally fine..."
"It's very important. After all, Zisheng's next blood relative depends on you. You must get better soon." He Zhaojun teased her and looked at the medical officer nervously as he took her pulse.
Fortunately, Shao Shang was just too tired and caught a cold, which was not too serious. He would be fine after taking some medicine and resting well. He Zhaojun was relieved.
Shao Shang finally understood the hidden meaning behind He Zhaojun's words. She hummed twice and rubbed her belly: "It's still far away..."
After saying this, Shao Shang lowered her head a little embarrassedly: She seemed to really miss Zisheng.
