"What kind of person is my brother-in-law?" At this moment, a "young man" with red lips and white teeth rushed over upon hearing the news. Who else could it be but Chu Youzhao?
Zuan couldn't help but sigh, both being handsome young men, You Zhao looked cuter, while Xie Xiu was ultimately a boy.
Murong Qinghe, with her honey-colored skin, was always inseparable from Chu Youzhao. At this moment, she was also secretly observing Xie Xiu, her brows slightly furrowed. Recently, it had become popular among the young ladies and noblewomen of the capital to idolize him. They described his handsomeness as unparalleled, and some girls even admitted that they had found meaning in life because they liked him, which made them more positive about life.
I've seen him a few times, and I feel he's not as handsome as my Brother Chu. Even Brother Zu is more handsome than him. Why are those girls so infatuated?
This wasn't the first time Xie Xiu and Murong Qinghe had met. The first time they met, they saw that the other was beautiful and tried to get closer to her.
????????????????
When he learned that she was deeply in love with the young master of the Chu family and that the two were inseparable, he immediately gave up his feelings.
Putting aside the fact that the Xie and Chu families see each other all the time, as for himself, he only likes girls who are devoted to him. Married women and other people's girlfriends are heretics. I don't know what kind of pervert would like that.
Their eyes met briefly before looking away, each placing the other in a completely inconsiderate category.
Because several handsome men and beautiful women were standing together, many people around were looking in their direction. Xie Xiu was worried that his identity would be exposed and attract the attention of some enthusiastic girls, so he cupped his hands to Zu An and said, "Brother Zu, I'm entrusting my sister's matter to you. Also, remember not to take care of her too much."
After saying that, he put his mask back on and disappeared into the crowd.
Chu Youzhao asked perceptively, "Why did his sister ask you for help?"
With my sister not around, I have to protect my brother-in-law and make sure no sluts steal his affections.
Zu An briefly recounted what had just happened, and Murong Qinghe was somewhat puzzled: "Miss Xie comes from a scholarly family and is unaware of the dangers of the martial world, so it's true that we should take care of her. But why did he tell you not to overdo it? How can you ask someone to do something like that?"
Zuan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He was too embarrassed to say that the other party was worried that he was taking care of his sister and putting her in bed, so he made up a reason to get by.
Finally, when the team started urging them on, Chu Youzhao reluctantly waved goodbye to Zu'an.
Murong Qinghe looked at Chu Youzhao with some doubt, thinking that Brother Chu was usually quite manly, so why did he always act like a girl when he saw Brother Zu? And the relationship between him and his brother-in-law was too good, wasn't it?
She was suddenly startled. Could it be that Brother Chu actually liked men?
The moment this thought crossed her mind, she was filled with conflicting emotions. She wanted to ask but dared not. In the end, she could only comfort herself, thinking that Brother Chu was probably still young and had a natural admiration for heroes. Brother Zu was indeed much more capable than those young masters in the capital, and given that he was also her brother-in-law, it was normal for her to admire him.
Zu An was unaware that his relationship with Chu Youzhao had been misinterpreted. After returning to the group, his deputy Zhang Zijiang said with a smile, "Lord Zu's friends all come from prominent families. It's truly enviable."
Wang Bolin, who was standing to the side, snorted, clearly believing that Zu An had only gotten his position because of his connections.
Sensing the hostility between the two, Zu An smiled indifferently, too lazy to explain. He was now the one playing against the Demon Emperor and Zhao Hao, so why would he care about such things?
As the main force headed towards Zishan, Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang visited Zu'an several times to discuss the plans for the trip.
“You two are veterans of the military, and I imagine you are quite familiar with these details. Let’s proceed according to your plan,” Zu’an replied politely.
Seeing that he seemed to have an empty stomach, Wang Bolin looked down on him even more. Zhang Zijiang initially maintained a respectful facade, but after a few days, he found that he really didn't offer any ideas and that the two of them made all the decisions. In addition, he couldn't see any energy fluctuations in his body, just like an ordinary person, so he couldn't help but start to despise him.
Zuan may have had some skill before, but he must have suffered some injury recently that caused his cultivation to be greatly damaged. He only got this position because of his connections with relatives and friends. Unfortunately, our Great Zhou Dynasty has always spoken with strength. Those who are not worthy of their position will surely suffer disaster.
The change in their attitudes did not escape Zu'an's notice, but he did not take it to heart.
In his view, he didn't need to worry about the specific matters such as setting up camps along the way, repairing the palace behind Zishan Mountain, and eliminating safety hazards. The two of them were completely unaware of the real dangers.
They marched for several days in this manner when suddenly a scout from the vanguard reported that a fierce battle was taking place in a valley dozens of miles to the southwest. The two sides were not government officials, but rather bandits or similar groups.
Zu An said, "Since they are bandits, let's hand them over to the local government. We have important matters to attend to and shouldn't let them interfere with our business."
Because Zhao Hao was his hypothetical enemy, he didn't really want to be enemies with these armies that were rebelling against the imperial court, especially since there was also the relationship with Yun Jianyue. If he remembered correctly, their demonic sect also seemed to have a rebel army, and it wouldn't be good if the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Zijiang said solemnly, "As the emperor's personal guards, we have the duty to uphold the nation. Now that we have encountered you, how can we avoid seeing you?"
The Imperial Guards usually stay in the palace. Although it sounds impressive, they don't really have much opportunity to use their skills and thus have no chance to make merits. This trip to Zishan is just a formality. After all, the Emperor is invincible. Who in their right mind would dare to harm the Emperor?
