Chapter 162 Weird



Zhan Beichen saw that everyone was asleep, so he told Zhan Ping to close the door.

"Feng Yong, you speak." Zhan Beichen gestured to Feng Yong.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at Feng Yong curiously, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

Feng Yong spread out a simple topographic map and laid it flat on the table.

"If you go out of this town and walk a long way, you will enter the grassland." He pointed at a town on the topographic map, then moved north and stopped at a blank space.

"The grassland is much smaller than the plains. You can always find a cave or town where you can stay. It takes more than ten days of walking to get out of this grassland."

"So when we get to the grassland, we have to sleep outdoors."

"It's autumn now, and some animals will come out to eat before the snow falls," Feng Yong looked at Shen Zhaozhao's serious face, thinking that this was the first time the Third Young Master left the capital, and he was afraid that he didn't understand what he meant.

He made his words clearer. "It's like this. There are few wild animals on the grassland. There might be leopards and wolves."

Shen Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and looked up at Feng Yong.

The Zhan family army is really good, and an ordinary young general can prepare for a rainy day.

If she had had that dream, she would have wanted to check the topographic map in advance.

Feng Yong looked at the "clear" eyes of the Third Young Master and sighed silently. No matter how smart and experienced this Young Master from the capital was, she still didn't understand what he meant!

"Ahem, that's right," Feng Yong said, "Third Young Master, wild beasts like leopards and wolves are good at eating."

Shen Zhaozhao blinked.

So, she waited for a long time, and this is what she heard?

"laugh."

Beside the bed, Zhan Nanxing laughed softly.

Shen Zhaozhao looked over with a dark face, and met Zhan Nanxing's playful peach blossom eyes.

Zhan Nanxing saw Shen Zhaozhao's warning look, quickly put away his smile, and cleared his throat:

"Feng Yong, Zhao Zhao knows that wild beasts will eat her."

"She had already made arrangements."

Zhan Nanxing told Shen Zhaozhao about the large number of sleeve arrows and crossbows he had purchased from Youyun County.

"Second brother, when I was recuperating in Youyun County, Zhan Ping and Huang Ye were not idle. I asked them to teach grandma how to use hidden arrows and crossbows."

"Draw?"

Zhan Nanxing said this and called out Zhan Ping.

Zhan Ping hurriedly reported the training results of the Zhan family's women in those days.

Zhan Ping was quite proud. "I dare say I can hit all 10 targets. At least if I encounter a pack of wolves or other wild beasts, I should have no problem protecting myself."

After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Zhan Beichen carefully looked at his third brother's wife for the umpteenth time.

She is a capable person, Zhan Beichen knows it well.

Guo had told him that along the way, thanks to Shen Zhaozhao, they were able to reunite.

Without having seen it in person, Zhan Beichen didn't take it seriously. He just thought Shen Zhaozhao was a smart girl.

However, at this moment, hearing that she had already made preparations for the women of the Zhan family to defend themselves, Zhan Beichen truly realized for the first time that this girl's abilities were truly beyond those of an ordinary lady.

Just knowing the terrain on the road, predicting risks, planning ahead, and even purchasing bows, crossbows and hidden arrows in large quantities out of your own pocket under the noses of the police.

This insight and courage far surpass those of ordinary men.

Zhan Beichen asked himself, when he was as old as Shen Zhaozhao, he probably couldn't do it so meticulously.

"Third sister-in-law, you are very capable." Zhan Beichen praised sincerely.

Feng Yong managed to close his mouth which was opened in shock with great difficulty.

Well, he thought that the Third Young Master's wife, as a girl, would know that wild animals would eat, but it turned out that her family didn't know and had already made preparations.

Feng Yong felt that he was extremely stupid.

Thinking about how he had just told the Third Young Master’s wife seriously that wild beasts would eat people, he hated himself so much that he wanted to strangle himself to death and throw him out.

Shen Zhaozhao was still very modest, "Second brother, you are too kind."

"I didn't expect that we would have to walk through the grasslands on the way. I asked everyone to practice with hidden arrows and hand crossbows purely because we encountered too many dangers along the way."

"I thought since there was a blacksmith shop, I could buy weapons, so I bought them."

"Thanks to my husband for letting Zhan Ping and Huang Ye help guide our practice."

Shen Zhaozhao's words were full of leaks.

He takes credit for himself and shares the achievements with others, which makes everyone happy.

Zhan Beichen sighed deeply, if the Zhan family was still the same as before, with a girl like the third brother's wife coming into the family, the Zhan family would only get better and better, why would it end up like this.

But there are no ifs in this world.

If the Zhan family was still doing well, my third brother's wife would have married into the family, and my third brother would have married the Xie family...

Zhan Beichen shuddered, and dared not imagine what would happen if a snobbish woman like the Xie family married into the family.

"Ahem, third sister-in-law is modest. With your advance arrangements, we can feel a little more at ease in the future." Zhan Beichen quickly stopped his random thoughts and said openly.

The most important thing back then was to escort the Zhan family safely to Mobei.

From now on, the closer it gets to winter and the closer it gets to the northern desert, the more difficult the journey will become.

They not only had to guard against the emperor's dirty tricks, but also had to guard against unexpected situations on the road.

"Yes, with the Third Young Master, we have it easy." Chen Laqi said lazily, stretched out his hand, and patted Shen Zhaozhao on the shoulder.

"I don't know why, but when I look at the Third Young Master, I feel like he's my own brother!"

Feng Yong's eyes widened and he kept winking at Chen Laqi.

Bai Bao took a breath and glanced at Zhan Nanxing who was standing beside him.

The Third Young Master's eyes were full of knives, almost enough to cut me into pieces.

"Brother Chen and I hit it off right away." Shen Zhaozhao said generously, raising his hand and linking shoulders with Chen Laqi.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

"Second brother, if you don't have anything else to do, go and rest first. You have to travel early tomorrow morning." Zhan Nanxing said.

He looked at Chen Laqi with a chilly gaze.

Chen Laqi finally realized it belatedly and took his hand off Shen Zhaozhao's shoulder. He touched the back of his head and felt a cool breeze.

"Let's go, let's go." As soon as Zhan Nanxing said that, Feng Yong immediately stood up, and together with Bai Bao, they lifted up the thick-skinned Chen Laqi, one on the left and one on the right, "Let's go quickly."

"Oh, by the way," Shen Zhaozhao thought of what he hadn't said yet, and stopped them, "This time we met these volunteers, some of them look good. When we were on the road, they hid their bodies for easy observation, so please pay more attention."

"The Third Young Master's wife said so. We will definitely keep an eye on it." After Feng Yong finished speaking, he turned around and carried Chen Laqi out of the window.

There was a look of fleeing in panic.

"Goodbye." Zhan Beichen bowed and said goodbye. He just walked out of the window, thought for a moment, and leaned over to look at Zhan Nanxing, "Third brother, please talk to me nicely. Don't be angry."

After leaving these words behind, Zhan Beichen jumped up and disappeared.

Shen Zhaozhao looked puzzled and looked at Zhan Nanxing, "Husband, do you think they are a little strange? Why are they leaving in such a hurry?"
