“Ahem.”
Mrs. Guo was coughing dryly at the side.
Shen Zhaozhao looked away silently.
Zhan Nanxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Zhaozhao.
Why did she look at him, then turn her head away and pretend not to look?
Didn’t they reconcile?
Or...
When they went out shopping in the morning, Cao Ya asked her what...
Zhan Nanxing glanced at the Cao family with a sad look.
Poor Cao Ya felt a chill on the back of his head as he walked from the post station to the city gate.
When the team was leaving the city, Shen Zhaozhao felt that the inspection at the city gate was much stricter than yesterday.
It's the same when you go into the city, you have to put money into the basket honestly.
Leaving the city is a personal inspection.
"Brother, we are on duty to escort exiled prisoners and their families. We just entered the city yesterday."
Jiang Hu came forward to talk and explain, and took out his documents and pass.
The soldiers guarding the city still remembered Jiang Hu, and considering that they had obtained a large silver ingot yesterday, they did not make things difficult for them.
He just pointed at a portrait at the city gate and asked loudly:
"Have you seen this man named 누图껗 in the city?"
Shen Zhaozhao looked back.
Next to the city gate, there is a huge human-shaped portrait posted.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
She specially controlled the drone yesterday to go over and take a look at Fourth Brother's true appearance.
He is a man with quite distinctive facial features.
This portrait only depicts a person wearing a hood, without even showing his face.
Fourth brother is just a fool. He wouldn't kill someone and then dress up as he is and walk out of the city in a swagger.
"Brother, don't you have a portrait of your face?" Sure enough, Jiang Hu couldn't help it.
The soldiers defending the city were helpless.
He was just doing what he was told.
In fact, he also felt that it was a bit silly to look for someone with such a portrait.
Shen Zhaozhao only glanced at the portrait, her attention was drawn to a reward notice next to the portrait.
Still offering a large reward to recruit a wonderful doctor.
Just like she had seen in the town before.
They had come so far, yet they still posted a notice seeking medical treatment in the provincial capital.
This sick person may not be an ordinary person.
"Okay, let's go!"
The soldiers guarding the city released the prisoners.
Shen Zhaozhao retracted his gaze and followed the large army out of the city.
The image of this city gate is so abstract that the fourth brother in the group should be able to escape successfully.
After walking for a whole morning, the officers found a deserted place with a water source and told them to rest there.
The three families each took out the dry food they had bought for breakfast and ate it.
Zhan Nanxing was holding a pancake in his hand, his eyes fell on Shen Zhaozhao.
He thought again of the way she looked at him at the entrance of the post station earlier.
"Zhao Zhao," Zhan Nanxing didn't hold back, he held on to the big tree beside him and moved over.
"Did anyone tell you something?"
As a military general, Zhan Nanxing has always been straightforward.
“Hmm…”
Shen Zhaozhao almost choked on the biscuit in his throat.
Can he read minds?
She didn't say anything, how did this person know?
Seeing Shen Zhaozhao's response, Zhan Nanxing was more certain now.
It’s Cao Ya!
What did you say behind his back?
"You don't have to care about what others say," Zhan Nanxing said, his eyes burning, "You promised me that you would tell me directly if you have anything to say."
He feels that trust is necessary between husband and wife.
Say what you think so that others won't take advantage of you.
Shen Zhaozhao took the bamboo tube and poured water into it.
I said, I'm sorry, Guo has to explain.
If I don’t tell you, Zhan Nanxing won’t be able to explain himself.
"Zhao Zhao, you just ate something greasy, it's not suitable for you to drink cold water."
Zhan Nanxing reminded her considerately and took away the bamboo tube she used to cover her face.
Facing those beautiful peach blossom eyes, Shen Zhaozhao couldn't tell a lie anymore.
"Forget it, I'll just follow your advice."
Shen Zhaozhao did not force himself to continue hiding it, and told everything that happened in the cloth shop.
"My second sister-in-law was afraid that you would hurt yourself due to your impulsiveness, so she asked me to keep it a secret from you."
After Zhan Nanxing heard the beginning, the smile on his face faded even more.
At the end of the listening, Da 꿛 was clinging tightly to the bark of the big tree next to him.
Snap——
He scraped off a whole piece of bark, and the sharp edges and burrs pierced his nails.
"Look, if I had known I would listen to my second sister-in-law, I wouldn't have told you!"
Shen Zhaozhao jumped up and snatched his hand.
There was blood under the fingernails.
Shen Zhaozhao felt pain just looking at it.
The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and there is even a punishment of sticking needles into the fingernails.
He pierced the bark directly.
"You should say 놅."
Zhan Nanxing pulled back his finger, shook off the blood dripping from his fingertips, and laughed miserably.
"I'm not asking you to hurt yourself." Shen Zhaozhao turned around and rummaged through the bag, using it as a cover to take out a small medicine box.
She glared at Zhan Nanxing and said, "Come here and get the medicine."
"Let my second sister-in-law see you like this, and she'll scold me for being too talkative."
Zhan Nanxing stood leaning against the tree without moving.
He looked at the sparkling water flowing through the stream, with a gleam of water in his eyes.
"Ancestor said that the one who holds the throne was very kind to him, so even though he holds the military power, he never had any thoughts."
Zhan Nanxing talked about the past in a low voice.
"But he allowed those people to withhold the military funds and salaries of the Zhan family army."
"He is the emperor. Is he really unaware of the actions of his officials?"
"In the last battle, the other side used rockets. I saw with my own eyes that a little spark fell on the bodies of the Zhan family soldiers, and the living people and horses were burned into a fireball."
"So, it's because the cotton was replaced with flammable willow catkins..."
It was because of this that the Zhan family army suffered a crushing defeat in that battle.
Zhan Nanxing seemed to be speaking to Shen Zhaozhao, but also seemed to be speaking to himself.
As he spoke, Zhan Nanxing began to laugh, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Shen Zhaozhao was speechless. He took the tweezers, lifted up his injured finger, and removed the sharp burrs that had pierced his fingertips one by one.
"I met him when I was a child," Zhan Nanxing seemed to be unable to feel the pain, completely immersed in the past, "He was very wise and intelligent, and also very brave and good at fighting."
Shen Zhaozhao sighed in his heart.
How could this emperor rise from humble beginnings if he wasn't wise and intelligent?
The person sitting on the throne now is probably completely different from the person in Zhan Nanxing's memory.
“Once a person reaches that position, high up in the sky, over time, he or she will naturally forget where he or she came from.”
Shen Zhaozhao said, taking hydrogen peroxide to help Zhan Nanxing wash the wound.
Zhan Nanxing's fingertips were trembling slightly.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Zhaozhao who happened to raise his eyes.
"No one stays the same." Shen Zhaozhao helped him bandage his fingertips into small balls, "Okay, don't use this one recently."
Zhan Nanxing looked at the gauze ball on his fingertips, pulled the corner of his mouth, and the grief in his heart faded a little.
"Zhao Zhao."
Shen Zhaozhao was packing things in the small medicine box when he heard Zhan Nanxing calling him in a hoarse voice.
She turned around and her eyes fell into Zhan Nanxing's eyes.
There was deep sadness in those peach blossom eyes, like a cat in desperate need of comfort.
"If you become a high-ranking official like that man in the future, will you treat the Zhan family the same way he did?"
"Or...will you change too?"
