Chapter 38 Cao Ya is not a good person



Shen Zhaozhao closed the medicine box.

I didn't look back for a long time.

In her previous life, she joined the organization from 께늀 and was placed with high hopes. She was always responsible for others, but no one else was responsible for her.

Suddenly being confessed to in such a subtle way, Shen Zhaozhao thought a lot for a moment.

Finally, she turned around.

"My husband, you should first think about who attacked you and the Zhan family before," Shen Zhaozhao smiled distantly in the flickering firelight, "Wait until your family is safe, then we can talk about other things."

The fire flickered and then gradually dimmed.

After Shen Zhaozhao finished speaking, he moved his mind slightly, put the medicine box back into the space, and picked out a thin sheet from the space.

I have to sleep outdoors tonight. I am afraid that others will get suspicious if I take out my full set of bedding, so I can only sleep on a thin sheet.

Fortunately, it was hot and there was a fire nearby.

Shen Zhaozhao smoothed the bed sheet and leaned over to move Zhan Nanxing up.

I just reached out my hand but he dodged it.

"You're right," Zhan Nanxing's face was hidden in the shadows, "I was not thoughtful enough."

Shen Zhaozhao didn't care what he thought. It was time to go to bed, so all emotions had to be put aside.

He dragged the person onto the bed sheet and pushed him down.

Lie down yourself too.

She was tired from traveling, fishing and grilling fish all day.

Suddenly, Shen Zhaozhao was lying beside him, and Zhan Nanxing was crying.

He looked at the woman beside him who had her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face.

I'm not sleepy at all.

Suddenly, Shen Zhaozhao spoke.

"If you can't sleep, tell me who sent the killer?"

She couldn't sleep if someone was staring at her like this all the time!

Zhan Nanxing couldn't explain it for a moment.

"Too many people, from the government and the opposition, from the country, and even the one in power..."

Zhan Nanxing closed his eyes.

In the darkness of night, a hoarse male voice talked about some past events.

The Zhan family army was powerful and had countless enemies.

With the Zhan family around, the entire north is guarded like an iron barrel, and the people of Dongbang naturally want to kill the Zhan family.

In the government and in public, my grandfather and father were always generous and righteous, and they never formed cliques for personal gain, which offended many people.

There is even the guy on the throne. The Zhan family was a founding minister. How much he relied on the Zhan family before, how much he fears the military power in the hands of the Zhan family now.

Zhan Nanxing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the night sky.

"But now that my grandfather, father, and brothers have died in battle, and I am disabled, it is understandable that they are afraid of me and want to kill me, but it is unreasonable to attack women and children."

As Shen Zhaozhao listened, his sleepiness went away a little.

"What if the other party wanted to kill you, and poisoning you was just a byproduct?"

"It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go?"

Zhan Nanxing looked at the night sky indifferently, and after a long time, he shook his head.

He didn't know who it was either.

There are too many possibilities.

Shen Zhaozhao was in a talkative mood, propping up his chin and looking at Zhan Nanxing's perfect profile.

"Can you tell me about the last battle?"

She felt that there must be something unusual about a battle that could cause such a family to fall apart overnight.

Mentioning that battle, Zhan Nanxing's face turned pale and his chest rose and fell violently.

Shen Zhaozhao knew this was his Achilles' heel.

"Forget it. I'll tell you when you're willing to tell me."

Zhan Nanxing turned his head away, not wanting her to see his appearance.

After a long time, when Shen Zhaozhao thought he had fallen asleep, he whispered two words:

"Feel sorry."

Shen Zhaozhao sighed in his heart.

She didn't know Zhan Nanxing from before, but from what her family members said, he was a wanton and unbridled prince.

Overnight, everything he owned collapsed.

Shen Zhaozhao raised her hand, gently wrapped it around Zhan Nanxing's chest, and patted him gently on the shoulder.

She pretended to care for others, but when it came to comforting others, she was at a loss for words.

I could only pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Zhan Nanxing heard his heart beating suddenly.

꺶Hand moves slightly.

He closed his eyes, followed the urge to hold the hand, and raised his arm.

Not far away, there was the sound of rustling footsteps.

Zhan Nanxing's arm, which had just been raised, immediately fell back to its original position. Shen Zhaozhao retracted his hand, stood up, and looked over.

Just then, Huang Juan came over and their eyes met. Huang Juan immediately covered her eyes, turned away, and complained:

"I told you to have a good rest, but you insisted to come over and ask."

Shen Zhaozhao: "What's the matter?"

Huang Juan turned around and took a peek to make sure she hadn't seen anything she shouldn't have before she replied:

"Nothing much. The old lady wants to come over and ask you about the arrangements for the night watch."

Because we are camping tonight and there are many female members of the Zhan family, we have to arrange for people to take turns to keep watch.

Unconsciously, the Zhan family became very dependent on Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao had to nod his head for everything that mattered.

"Well, two people in a group. You and I will guard the first half of the night, and the two sisters-in-law will guard the second half. A Yao is still growing, Huang Ye Zhanping has to carry her husband on the road, and grandma and mother are old, so let them get some rest."

Shen Zhaozhao arranged the night watch, Huang Juan nodded and agreed to go back and inform others first.

Shen Zhaozhao stood up and stretched his muscles.

"I'll go and help you guard it." Zhan Nanxing said.

Anyway, he was carried around during the day, so there was no need to catch up on sleep during the day.

She has never stopped since morning.

He had to hurry on his way, and also take care of the Zhan family.

Zhan Nanxing felt a slight pain in his heart.

"Don't worry, you are my patient. The sooner you recover from your injuries, the sooner I can rest assured."

Shen Zhaozhao smiled and turned to leave.

"Wait." Zhan Nanxing called her again.

Shen Zhaozhao turned around and looked at the man lying on the bed sheet. She inexplicably felt that this man looked a bit like a wife.

She was just going to keep watch all night, but she could still be so slow.

Zhan Nanxing pursed her lips, the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't say them.

"It's okay, why don't you go over there?" Shen Zhaozhao pointed at the campfire.

"Something happened." Zhan Nanxing responded hastily: "She has no one else in her heart. That Cao Ya is not a good person. Don't listen to her nonsense."

What about this?

Shen Zhaozhao almost couldn't help laughing, "I know."

The firelight reflected on Zhan Nanxing's jade-like cheeks, staining them crimson.

He turned around somewhat annoyed, with his back to Shen Zhaozhao.

Listen to the footsteps behind you leaving.

He crumpled the bed sheet under him into a mess with his hands.

It was late at night, everyone was sleeping in their clothes, and one family was lighting a bonfire.

Not too far away.

From time to time, officers patrolled and counted the number of people.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at the bonfire and added firewood to it.

Beside her, Huang Juan held her face and tried hard to stay awake.

After all, it was really hard to work all day and keep watch.

“Sister Shen.”

A soft female voice sounded in the dark night.

Huang Juan was so frightened that her eyes widened, and she jumped up with a start.

"You walk quietly?" Shen Zhaozhao turned around and looked at Cao Ya with a smile.

Cao Ya, who had just been identified by Zhan Nanxing as not a good person, smiled faintly.

"I'm not afraid of making too much noise and disturbing your family's rest."

Huang Juan looked at Cao Ya with a confused look on her face as she sat next to Chen Zhaozhao.

"This sister must be tired too, go and have a rest."

Cao Ya spoke softly to drive them away.

“놖I will accompany Sister Shen for you.”

"It just so happens that I also have something to say to Sister Shen."
