On the only way to the Western Regions.
The scorching sun burned the earth, the rolling yellow sand in the desert undulated like golden waves, and the extremely high temperature distorted the air.
A huge convoy of carriages is moving slowly. The road ahead is long and it is unknown when they will reach the destination.
In the carriage.
Yan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked at the pale-faced handsome young man opposite him, and couldn't help but hand over the water bag.
"Master Zhang, drink some water and don't try to be so stubborn."
Zhang Liang felt dizzy and knew he had reached his limit, so he stopped trying and took the water bag and started drinking.
Perhaps because she was too anxious, some water overflowed from the corner of her mouth, flowed along her angular chin, to her fair neck, and disappeared into her delicate collarbone.
As he swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled again and again, reflecting the crystal water light, making him look sexy and attractive.
After the young man finished drinking, Yan Yu's eyes fell on his thin, red, and lustrous lips, and she suddenly felt a little thirsty.
She secretly wondered, how come this Lord Zhang looked more handsome than the woman?
And he is as fragile as a woman.
Did the Queen say something wrong? She should have been asked to take care of Mr. Zhang.
Just as Yan Yu was lost in thought, the young man's elegant and calm voice of thanks rang in her ears.
"Thank you, Master Yan."
"You're welcome, just call me Yan Yu."
"The jade of jade?"
Zhang Liang looked at the fair and delicate young man, and inexplicably felt that the word "jade" suited him very well.
Yan Yu was suddenly shocked, but pretended to be calm on the surface.
She casually took the young man's hand and wrote his name stroke by stroke on his slender and broad palm.
"No, it's this Yu."
The boy's fingers were long and soft, and every time they brushed across his palm, a slight itch would be felt.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel a strange throbbing in his heart, but he quickly ignored it.
Just looking at the boy's overly small hands, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes again.
Yan Yu didn't know that his vest was crumbling, and he was still on good terms with the young man.
"The journey to the Western Regions is long, and we still have a long time to get along. Why don't we call each other brothers from now on?"
"Then Zifang had the audacity to call me Brother Yan."
"Hahaha, Brother Zifang is such a straightforward person!"
Along the way, there was constant laughter and conversation in the carriage, which added a lot of fun to the dull and boring journey.
Although the two had only known each other for a short time, they unexpectedly hit it off.
Zhang Liang liked Yan Yu's personality very much.
Although he has experienced the ups and downs of the business world and has experienced the intrigues and deceptions of others, he is worldly-wise but not worldly-wise, and his heart is as pure as a child.
When dealing with him, you don't need to be on guard all the time, which makes him feel more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.
Especially after knowing that the young man often donated to the salesian home, he had even more respect for him.
Yan Yu also had a good impression of Zhang Liang.
She doesn't like aggressive men. On the contrary, she prefers gentle, polite and emotionally stable men.
Besides, Zhang Liang was intelligent, modest, thoughtful, and considerate of other people's feelings, making it a pleasant experience to get along with him.
In this way, with mutual affection, the two people had similar interests, their hearts opened up to each other little by little, and their feelings became deeper and deeper.
When they arrived in the Western Regions, the two had become close friends.
But Zhang Liang never thought that one day, friendship would deteriorate so quickly.
The task of persuading the countries in the Western Regions to surrender was not so smooth.
After all, no one who is doing well as the king of a mountain would be so desperate as to become someone else's subordinate.
Fortunately, thanks to Zhang Liang's strategy of using courtesy before force, many weak small countries finally surrendered after weighing the pros and cons.
However, there are also a few powerful countries that rely on the fact that the emperor is far away and do not care at all.
In order to eliminate future troubles, he even went to great lengths and sent people to assassinate the envoy secretly.
On someone else's territory, even if Zhang Liang is extremely wise, there will be times when he is unable to do what he wants.
The most dangerous time was when he had a close brush with death.
But he did not feel relieved, instead he blamed himself.
He never thought that at the critical moment, Brother Yan would risk his life to save him.
No......
I shouldn’t call you Brother Yan anymore.
Zhang Liang stared at the woman with disheveled black hair and pale face on the bed. His eyes were extremely complicated, and his calm and rational mind was in a mess for the first time.
He reached out and lifted the strands of hair on the side of her face. His fingertips touched the warm and soft skin, and his heart beat violently as if it was burned.
He murmured softly, his dark eyes becoming as deep as ink.
"Why......"
The next day, early morning.
Because of the jade pendant protecting her, Yan Yu was only slightly frightened and soon recovered as normal.
But Zhang Liang was still worried, and he took her in a very tough way and forced her to rest for a few more days.
After the woman fully recovered, he finally let go of the heavy stone hanging in his heart and finally expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Why...did you risk your life to save me?"
"Because Brother Zhang is my best friend!"
Yan Yu replied without hesitation, a bright smile blooming on her pretty face, and her eyes as bright as stars were full of sincerity and trust.
"I believe that if it were you, you would definitely save me."
Hearing this answer, Zhang Liang was shocked, and it seemed that something was slowly fermenting in his heart.
He met the woman's clear and pure eyes, and for some reason, he felt a little guilty.
Perhaps when people face irresistible feelings, their first reaction is to escape.
Even the calm and composed strategist is no exception.
For the next three years, both of them were busy with their own business.
Zhang Liang was busy persuading the countries in the Western Regions to surrender, and Yan Yu was busy managing the Great Qin Business Alliance, so the two met only a few times.
