In the future.
At the door of the Zhan family, Guo Xiao and Lin Xiao were saying goodbye to their son-in-law.
They have become accustomed to this kind of parting.
However, this time, in addition to telling their sons-in-law to pay attention to their own safety, they also specifically told them to take care of Shen Zhaozhao and Cao Ya.
Cao Ya, carrying his bag, also set out with Zhan Jiaru.
“Don’t worry.” Zhan Beichen glanced at Shen Zhaozhao who was standing beside him.
This time when he went to the foreign territory, he didn't think that this younger brother and sister-in-law who was more capable than him would need his care.
On the contrary, it's good enough that they don't hold Shen Zhaozhao back.
As for Cao Ya.
He had some interactions with this woman at the mine, and it was clear that she was not an ordinary lady from Beijing.
After bidding farewell to the Zhan family, Shen Zhaozhao took the Zhan family out of the city first and came to the Mobei camp to meet Guan Yue.
"You can pick any of my war horses," Guan Yue waved his hand generously.
The Zhan family's horses were to be used to pull carriages. The war horses in the army had suffered heavy losses in the last battle, and the remaining ones were incorporated into the Mobei camp.
This time when they went to the foreign royal court, the Zhan brothers brought a few reliable brothers with them.
When Guan Yue gave the order, they all began to select their war horses.
"Fourth brother, the horses you have here are well-raised, fat and strong," Shen Zhaozhao looked at the horses. She didn't know much about horses, but she could tell that they were all good horses.
She felt no guilt at all about using the emperor's horses.
"That's right. We are not short of food and grass," Guan Le looked at the soldiers recalled by the Zhan family with some complacency.
It seems that there are still many loyal warriors.
Apart from the few coins used in the mine, I could still bring so many coins.
"Zhao Zhao." Zhan Nanxing came out from the carriage, walked towards them, stood beside Shen Zhaozhao, and took her hand.
His eyes were fixed on Guan Le.
Guan Le looked at Zhan Nanxing cheerfully at first, then approached Shen Zhaozhao and joked, "Hey, you're standing up?"
Without waiting for Shen Zhaozhao to speak, Zhan Nanxing took her hand, pulled her behind him, and walked forward to stand between her and Guan Yuele.
"Yes, thank you for your help these days, General." Zhan Nanxing said politely.
Guan Le blinked his eyes, and suddenly an idea came to him. He touched his nose awkwardly and muttered:
"I understand."
"Sixth sister, I will wait for you in the camp with my children."
After saying that, Guan Le ran away.
Shen Zhaozhao pulled Zhan Nanxing's hand helplessly and turned him around, "What a strong smell of vinegar."
"Zhao Zhao," Zhan Nanxing lowered his eyes and looked at their tightly clasped hands, "Do you know when I felt the most uncomfortable before?"
Shen Zhaozhao was puzzled and shook his head.
Zhan Nanxing suddenly raised his eyes, staring at her with his dark eyes, "No matter what happens to you, there are always people around you, but I can only sit in the corner and can't stand by your side."
Shen Zhaozhao was confused when he heard his own heartbeat.
"Brother, sister-in-law!" Zhan Dongfeng brought the soldiers of the Zhan family, mounted their horses, and greeted them.
"Let's go." Shen Zhaozhao responded, looked at Zhan Nanxing, and then said, "Don't try to ride a horse. We will go first, and you will meet us from behind."
"Um."
Zhan Nanxing nodded in response.
He led her to a slightly taller mare and said, "I just picked one for you. It's pretty docile."
"Come."
Zhan Nanxing let go of Shen Zhaozhao's hand and held her waist instead.
Shen Zhaozhao can ride a horse, but she also enjoys his thoughtfulness.
He stepped on the stirrup, and with the big hands on his waist, he pushed hard and got on the horse lightly.
"Sister Shen is very skilled at riding a horse." Cao Ya rode his horse to her side.
Shen Zhaozhao turned to look at her.
Wow.
This girl picked a tall, chestnut horse. It was obvious that she had a bad temper and was snorting loudly in annoyance.
Her mare looked a little smaller than the chestnut horse.
Shen Zhaozhao wondered if Cao Ya was trying to make fun of the fact that the horse she was riding wasn't impressive enough.
"Big brother, second brother, go slower." Zhan Nanxing looked at Shen Zhaozhao sitting on the horse, still feeling a little worried, so he turned around and instructed his two brothers.
Zhan Dongfeng exhaled a breath and made a "tsk" sound.
His younger brother has been proud and arrogant since childhood.
When have you ever been so considerate and thoughtful to a girl?
If you live like this, you will see some unusual things.
Zhan Beichen looked up at him, "Brother, you should tell your sister-in-law not to rush too fast and leave us behind."
The few veteran soldiers of the Zhan family army who followed behind them also felt that today was an eye-opener.
"Why didn't we realize that General 께 was so considerate before?"
"Nonsense, General Xiao is still considerate to an old man with wrinkles on his face like you?"
"Fuck you, you make it look like you have no wrinkles on your face."
…
Shen Zhaozhao laughed as he rode on the horse. It was nothing. This horse was Zhan Nanxing's gift.
No more changing.
She can ride fast even on a horse.
"Zhao Zhao?" Zhan Nanxing frowned and glared at her.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Shen Zhaozhao took the reins handed over by Zhan Nanxing, followed the Zhan family army out of the barracks and joined Guan Yule's horse.
After a while, the call for horses to be spurred was heard.
Zhan Nanxing walked slowly to the side of the carriage and watched her mingle among a group of men, going away into the distance in the yellow dust trampled by the horses' hooves.
"Zhao Zhao, everything goes well." Zhan Nanxing said softly.
If possible, he would rather go deep into the foreign royal court with them.
Perhaps the emperor thought that all the members of the Zhan family had died at the hands of Guan Yule, so he did not send any more assassins.
Cao Ya led the way again.
The journey from Mobei to Fanbang was peaceful.
Half a month later, the group arrived at the grassland where foreigners gathered.
The Fanbang were a nomadic people and they did not build cities. There were only large tents where people gathered.
Shen Zhaozhao rode a horse, standing on a hill, looking at the endless tents in front of him.
"Look over there," Cao Ya came to Shen Zhaozhao and pointed with the whip in his hand, "that particularly large white tent with a pointed roof is the Fanbang King's Court."
Shen Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes.
It turned out that the king's court of Fanbang had no moat or high walls, and Fanbang had no city gates either. This was great news for them.
At least, when he was saved, he didn't have to worry about being stopped by the city gate that suddenly closed on the road.
"Let's go?" Cao Ya glanced at the pointed tent in the distance, his face gradually becoming stern.
"No hurry." Shen Zhaozhao controlled his horse, turned his head and looked at Cao Ya, first sizing up her expression, and softened his tone, "If you don't want to go back there, we can go by ourselves."
She was basically certain that Cao Ya was a reborn warrior.
Moreover, there are not so pleasant memories with foreign countries, and even hatred.
The expression on Cao Ya's face broke for a moment, his eyes were filled with surprise, then he thought for a moment, shook his head gently and smiled.
"fine."
"Since I took the initiative to ask to follow you here, I naturally can't give up halfway."
After saying that, she kicked the horse's belly and galloped towards the hill.
