"Zhu Zan."

"Zhu Zan."

After the name was called three times, the man in front finally turned around.

He had a gloomy expression and looked serious and solemn.

"What's the matter?" he asked in a deep voice.

Miss Jun urged her horse to catch up and smiled at him.

"Why don't you speak?" she asked.

Zhu Zan looked calm.

"Say what?" he asked.

Miss Jun laughed.

"Aren't you a chatterbox? Why haven't you spoken in the past few days? It looks so strange." She laughed.

Zhu Zan made a "Pooh" sound.

"You're the talkative one," he said, and then turned around and urged his horse to gallop.

Miss Jun laughed and followed.

"You only refuted it with four words?" she said.

Zhu Zan just looked straight ahead without saying a word.

"Hey, hey." Miss Jun poked him with the whip, "Why don't you speak?"

Zhu Zan reached out and grasped her whip.

"Don't make a fuss." He spoke in a deep voice, pausing every word, "I am a quiet person to begin with."

Miss Jun burst into laughter.

"Do you feel you can't beat me and just stop talking?" she said.

Zhu Zan did not get furious, but remained calm. He flicked her whip away and continued walking forward.

Miss Jun smiled and followed again.

"Hello," she said.

This time, without waiting for her to speak, Zhu Zan turned around and spoke.

"If it's useful, just say it. If it's useless, don't say it." He said, "We have said everything we need to say. What else do you want to say?"

Miss Jun looked at him with sparkling eyes and a smile.

"I want some water," she said.

Zhu Zan calmly took off the water bag and handed it to her.

Miss Jun took it, opened it, drank a few sips, and handed it back.

"I'm a little hungry," she added.

Zhu Zan took out some wild fruits from his bag and handed them over.

Miss Jun didn't answer.

"Is it dirty?" she asked, leaning her head to take a look.

Zhu Zan rubbed the wild fruit on his body vigorously twice and handed it over again.

Miss Jun took it and started eating it with a crunching sound.

"You walked from Baozhou to the capital by yourself last time?" she said. "Is it difficult to walk alone?"

"It's not difficult. I'm used to being alone." Zhu Zan said, looking straight ahead, seeming to see no one around him.

Miss Jun nodded.

"I used to be alone." She said, eating the fruit crunchily, shaking her head and smiling, "But now I feel that it's really nice to travel with two people."

Having said that, he stretched out his hand.

"I'm done."

This fruit is very juicy and looks sticky in your open hands.

Zhu Zan pulled out a silk handkerchief from his waist, stretched out his arm without looking away, and rubbed her hands forcefully and accurately several times.

Miss Jun withdrew her hand with a satisfied smile.

"Zhu Zan," she said.

Zhu Zan's brows twitched imperceptibly.

"Miss Jun, do you have any other instructions?" he said.

But the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

Miss Jun rubbed her face while sitting on the horse, and swung her legs leisurely.

"Let me think about it," she said.

"Don't worry, take your time to think about it." Zhu Zan said in a deep voice.

Miss Jun said "Oh".

"How far is it? I've been walking for half a day and I'm very tired." She said with a strong nasal voice and a bit of laziness and cuteness.

Zhu Zan finally turned and looked at her.

"Miss Jun, you pointed out this road." He said, veins popping out on his hand holding the reins, "Little one, I really didn't know."

Miss Jun looked at him and smiled.

"You don't know? I know." She sat up straight, "Just reminding you how powerful I am."

As he finished speaking, he swung the whip, making a flower in the air with a crisp snapping sound.

The horse made a clear sound and galloped forward. The girl riding the horse had her hair wrapped in a thin gauze that fluttered in the wind and fell behind her like a cloud.

Zhu Zan's face was also as gentle as clouds.

Of course, I didn't blush at the sight of such beauty.

He raised his head and exhaled heavily and silently, then stretched out his hands and slashed twice to the left and right of the back of the girl running in front of him.

Why are there such terrible women in the world!

Why would such a horrible woman fall for him? And pester him!

This is what is called "God is jealous of beauty"!

…

On the top of the rocky and steep mountain, the thick rope was wet by the water and made a heavy sound as it was entangled around the rocks.

Seeing the rope knotted, Miss Jun grabbed the rope, raised her foot and kicked it on the rocks. She fell backwards and her hands that were holding the rope turned red instantly.

"Okay." She untied the rope and stood up. "Very solid."

Zhu Zan, who was standing aside, crossed his arms with a look of contempt, but did not say anything.

Miss Jun turned to look at him.

"What are you looking at? Come down." She said, "The rope I made is very strong. It won't break just like yours."

Zhu Zan snorted, without saying anything, he reached out to grab the rope scattered on the ground and tied it around his waist.

"Hey, are you sure there are medicinal herbs on this cliff?" He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking at the steep slope.

Although this mountain is not very high, the steep cliffs are difficult to climb.

"You'll know if you go down and take a look." Miss Jun said, waving her hand to urge, "Hurry up and work, I'll watch the rope, don't worry, I'll pull you up."

Zhu Zan glared at her without saying anything else, took a step forward and fell towards the cliff. If it weren't for the hand clinging to the rock at the edge of the cliff, one would have thought that the person had fallen off.

Miss Jun stood by and watched him climb down, then walked back to the rock and stared at the rope. As if to avoid any accidents, she simply grabbed the rope and wrapped it around another rock, then clapped her hands.

"Nothing will happen now," she said, sitting down on a rock, untying the sachet from her waist, pouring out a handful of fried beans and starting to eat them with a crunch.

“…I can’t see…”

Zhu Zan’s shouts came from the foot of the mountain.

"Take your time to look at it." Miss Jun said without raising her head, "Take a good look at it. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Zan said nothing more. The rope on the ground swayed and slid away, and it was obvious that someone was climbing down.

The mountains fell into silence, except for the occasional sound of rocks rolling.

Zhu Zan was searching earnestly on the cliff, and in the bushes on the slope on the left side of the cliff, a pair of eyes were also looking at him earnestly.

Because someone was helping to watch the rope, Zhu Zan felt at ease and focused on looking for herbs. The girl on the rock was also eating beans very seriously.

The mountain wind swirled, the grass and trees swayed, and a long blowpipe stretched out from the bushes and was aimed at Zhu Zan who was clinging to the cliff wall below.

A buzzing sound.

A sharp arrow flashed with cold light and came through the air.

A muffled groan came from the bushes, followed by the rustling of branches and leaves, and someone fell out of them.

Zhu Zan, who was climbing on the cliff, bent his body, swung his feet and climbed over here grabbing the rocks. His movements were very fast and he arrived here in the blink of an eye. He jumped hard and fell on the slope.

The man who was stuck by branches and did not roll down the cliff was turned over by Zhu Zan, revealing an ordinary face.

"Dead." Zhu Zan turned around and shouted, looking at the person standing on the edge of the cliff.

I don't know when Miss Jun stood up, holding a blowpipe in her hand.

"If he doesn't die, you will die." She said, "Don't even think about catching him alive. This guy has been hiding for so long, he will definitely not give you this opportunity. Once you give him the opportunity, he will kill you."

Then this person will definitely not leave any mark of his identity.

Zhu Zan stood up and kicked him off the cliff.

"Who do you think it is?" Miss Jun asked.

"They are the ones who want me dead." Zhu Zan said, and then smiled coldly, "They are the ones who want my father to have a hard time."

Miss Jun looked towards the direction of the capital.

"It's said that it's not easy to live in the capital," she said, "it seems that it's not easy to enter the capital either."

…

In the capital city, in an official office on one side of Yu Street, several petty clerks were running around anxiously, and soon a large number of people gathered together.

"It is absolutely true. It is absolutely true."

"The news is true."

"It has been agreed upon at the court meeting."

They spoke hurriedly in low voices, sometimes whispering and sometimes shouting, and the noisy and chaotic chatter made the originally quiet government office bustling with noise.

Ning Yunzhao in the room put down the documents in his hand and looked at a colleague sitting opposite him.

"As the saying goes, there is no wind without waves. The waves are getting bigger and bigger." He said with a smile.
