The next day, Shen Zhaozhao appeared downstairs of the post station again with dark circles under his eyes.
"Sister Shen, did you not sleep well last night?" Cao Ya took Shen Zhaozhao's arm affectionately and spoke to her.
"Are you worried about the assassin?"
Shen Zhaozhao sighed quietly.
No.
The assassin has been dealt with, and the person behind the assassin cannot be killed in a short time, so there is no point in worrying.
She was more worried about being exposed.
If you fail to show off, you will be struck by lightning.
The second brother is fighting against someone Nanxing is very familiar with.
Shen Zhaozhao had been thinking about this matter all the time, and he often wandered around Zhan Nanxing on the road.
"We have cleaned up the room in the inn and restored it to its original state. Zhaozhao can be released now," Zhan Nanxing was worried about the aftermath of Shen Zhaozhao.
Although she has been by his side, he still feels relieved.
But she was left worrying all the way.
Zhan Nanxing felt uncomfortable.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the man sitting on the stretcher and hesitated to speak.
The second brother said that they would meet soon.
"Husband, are you hiding something from me?" Shen Zhaozhao decided to ask indirectly.
Zhan Nanxing looked confused and shook his head.
He is just a cripple, what else could he hide from her?
"For example, you have an appointment with someone, where are you going to meet?" Shen Zhaozhao asked slowly.
Zhan Nanxing was even more confused.
"Are you afraid that Zhao Zhao will have an affair with another woman?"
Shen Zhaozhao looked up at the sky.
"Zhao Zhao is so generous. The family rules of the Zhan family are strict. You can only marry one wife in your life. You will never take concubines or keep mistresses."
Zhan Nanxing looked very serious, and he wanted to raise three fingers and swear an oath.
After Shen Zhaozhao heard this, he was inexplicably warmed by him.
"All right."
Shen Zhaozhao knew that he would not get anything out of asking, so he just told him, "If someone you knew before suddenly comes to see you, you have to say hello to them first!"
She has to think of a plan in advance to avoid being exposed!
Zhan Nanxing naturally nodded in agreement.
Being reminded by Shen Zhaozhao, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes fell on Cao Ya, who had been holding Shen Zhaozhao's arm like a close-fitting pendant.
Could this woman have some sense?
They are talking to each other!
"Miss Cao, could you please let us talk alone?" Zhan Nanxing bared his teeth, looking unhappily.
Cao Ya looked innocent, and suddenly realized, "Did I disturb Master Zhan?"
Zhan Nanxing's face darkened:
What do you think?
Cao Ya then reluctantly let go of Shen Zhaozhao's arm and pointed to the front, "Go to the kiss first, and then come back to talk to Sister Shen."
Zhan Nanxing really wants to tell you not to come!
Shen Zhaozhao smiled and waved goodbye to her politely.
"What do you want to say?" Shen Zhaozhao looked at Zhan Nanxing.
Zhan Nanxing motioned Shen Zhaozhao to come closer, and when the person came to his side, he spoke:
"The Zhan family suffered heavy losses after the last battle."
"But before returning to Beijing, he also integrated some living forces and hid in Mobei."
"When we get close to Mobei, someone should come to pick us up."
This is something he has been hiding.
The Zhan family army has disappeared.
The brothers who stayed behind were all absolutely loyal to the Zhan family and had experienced the test of life and death.
In other words, they are not loyal to the emperor, but loyal to the Zhan family.
These people cannot be exposed in front of others.
He didn't trust Shen Zhaozhao very much before, so he never told her about it.
Now, she is his wife and the lady of the Zhan family, so she should know about this.
Shen Zhaozhao stared at Zhan Nanxing: "Didn't you say you didn't make an appointment to meet anyone?"
Zhan Nanxing blinked her peach blossom eyes innocently, "Does meeting these men count?"
Shen Zhaozhao: …
Second brother, you are a man!
His original body was very familiar with Zhan Nanxing, and even knew that the Zhan family had a grudge against the emperor, so as soon as she told this story, he had some guesses.
So as to find out her background.
Second brother, in all likelihood, you will fight against Nanxing's old subordinates who stayed in Mobei.
Shen Zhaozhao had figured it out, so he was no longer panicked. He walked calmly, only telling Zhan Nanxing about her and not to tell his old subordinates.
As they were talking, the team left Yongping Prefecture and entered Yunlai Prefecture.
As they travelled further and further north, the towns they entered became less prosperous.
As night fell, the team was still in the wilderness. Shen Zhaozhao was murmured in his heart, and pulled Zhao Jiusan next to the Zhan family and asked:
"Master Jiang Hu, are you not going to rest this evening?"
"There's no end to this wilderness. If we want to camp outdoors, we need to gather firewood and start a fire as soon as possible."
Zhao Jiusan listened, smiled, and comforted Shen Zhaozhao.
"Miss Shen, let's go. After we turn around this hill, there will be a rural post station ahead."
"This Yunlai Prefecture is different from Yongping Prefecture. It's not as prosperous, the population is small, and the distances between towns are far."
"So we will set up an inn halfway in this wilderness to facilitate accommodation for travelers and merchants along the way."
Shen Zhaozhao nodded, understanding.
Just don't feed the wolves in the dark late at night.
After turning the hill, a post station with lights on appeared in sight.
Jiang Hu followed the old rules and took everyone to move in.
Shen Zhaozhao didn't sleep much last night, and after a whole day's journey, he went to bed early.
She thought she could have a good sleep.
However, in the middle of the night, she was awakened by a noisy voice.
Shen Zhaozhao opened his eyes dazedly, sat up, and took a closer look, only to find that his second sister-in-law, Guo, had already gotten up and was lying at the door of the bunk bed, eavesdropping.
"Second sister-in-law..." Shen Zhaozhao said, "Eavesdropping affects your image."
"Shhh."
Guo made a gesture to her to keep quiet with great interest, and she was enjoying what he was saying.
Shen Zhaozhao was speechless. He didn't even need to lean over the door to listen. He could hear the noisy voices downstairs clearly even when sitting on the dormitory bunk.
A female voice shouted: "No matter what, you have to kill her, or we will cancel the engagement!"
"Yan'er, why don't you believe her? She is innocent!" a man explained.
"I don't believe it!" The woman seemed to cry.
Shen Zhaozhao listened to the noise downstairs, coupled with Guo's face full of gossip, and felt even sleepier, and yawned.
It seems that a woman was staying at a hotel and ran into a man she was engaged to and another woman.
This scene, if it happened now, would be like a girlfriend bumping into her boyfriend checking into a hotel with his girlfriend.
Shen Zhaozhao lay back down.
"You shameless woman, you know you have no face to see people, but you still wear a veil," the woman seemed ready to take action, "see if I don't tear your veil off..."
The man also shouted: "Stop making trouble, it's not about the matter that His Highness has entrusted to you..."
Your Highness?
Your Highness!
Shen Zhaozhao suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the bunk bed, and rushed to Guo's side in three or two steps.
She pressed herself close together, ready to hear what was going on.
"Third brother's wife..." Guo curled her lips.
Doesn't eavesdropping affect your image?
Shen Zhaozhao: "Shh, don't make any noise!"
