"I...I..."
Guo looked at the bearded man riding a tall horse in front of him, and his eyes moved to the long-handled scimitar in his hand.
The blade was sharp and still dripping with blood.
Guo swallowed silently, praying silently that her husband's temper would not offend the person in front of him.
Looking at the frightened look of the woman in front of him, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I am stationed in Mobei to manage Pingle. Your husband is my brother, and you are also my sister-in-law!"
"Don't worry, I will personally escort you all the way to Mobei!"
"Oh, okay." Guo was no longer as smart as usual and nodded stupidly.
When did her husband and this Mobei defender become brothers?
How come she doesn't know?
Lin was also confused. She looked at Madam Zhan, and the old lady also shook her head silently.
Only Shen Zhaozhao, who knew everything clearly, could feel relieved. She was still keeping her vest tightly covered!
Okay.
With the beheading ability of the fourth brother escorting him all the way, the journey to Mobei would be much easier.
While Shen Zhaozhao was thinking about his worries, Guan Pingle was not idle. He rode his horse for a distance and cut off a wolf's head with a knife.
"Hiss——" The sky became completely bright. Guo witnessed everything and took a breath.
"This general is so brave!"
Shen Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's better to be brave, otherwise what if Lu Xiao encounters a pack of wolves again?"
Guo deeply agreed with this, and felt deeply sympathetic when he saw the miserable plight of the volunteers.
"I don't think any of them survived."
"It's up to them to choose," Lin said softly, looking at Shen Zhaozhao, "Third brother's wife, please don't blame yourself. I heard them blame you and Third Brother for not saving people. We can't even save ourselves, how can we save them?"
"Besides, Third Sister-in-law, you gave them a chance to live before, but they don't need it themselves."
Shen Zhaozhao smiled and nodded. She knew Lin's good intentions.
She walked slowly towards the volunteers, and if she wasn't careful she might step on a severed limb.
All the wolves didn't finish their rations.
Shen Zhaozhao turned around with a cold face, and everywhere he looked was hell on earth.
If she had just started her medical career, she might have blamed herself, but now she has seen so many separations and deaths that her heart has already been as heavy as a rock.
"This is a really big pack of wolves," a soldier said to his companions while dragging a wolf corpse.
"Ah, when we encountered this, we couldn't say we could escape unscathed, but those criminals over there were totally unscathed, it's amazing."
"If he's not powerful, how can he be our general or brother?"
"Yeah."
…
The soldiers walked away as they talked. They were ordered to gather all the wolf carcasses together.
Shen Zhaozhao looked around and didn't see a single living person, so he turned back to the donkey cart.
Zhan Nanxing's wound had indeed burst open, and he had fallen asleep leaning against his bag.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at his face, which was frighteningly pale. He stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, which was cold and wet.
She frowned, patted Zhan Nanxing's shoulder gently and called him. Zhan Nanxing frowned, as if he could hear her, but he couldn't wake up.
The awareness is still good.
Shen Zhaozhao was slightly relieved, and could only ask his fourth brother to hurry on his way, as they needed a clean place for Zhan Nanxing to recuperate.
"Wang Tou," Jiang Hu said, pulling Wang Tou aside, "You saw it too. Without the Zhan family, we would have been fed to the wolves last night."
"You said before that your cousin was taking revenge on the Zhan family..."
"Hey, don't mention it," Wang Tou's old face turned red, and he wished he could dig open the ground and crawl in. He looked at Zhan Nanxing who had fainted with a guilty look.
He wished that time could go back so that he could slap himself in the face for being confused and fooled by the flowers.
Let yourself be sober now.
Don't say such embarrassing things.
He even threatened Zhan's family!
In the end, the man forgave the villain's fault and saved his life and that of several of his brothers.
Otherwise, he would have been killed by wolves like those volunteers.
“Don't worry, I am not ignorant of good and bad people. This time I will definitely speak well of the Zhan family to my cousin.” Wang Tou changed his previous tone. As he was speaking, he stretched his neck and saw Guan Pingle riding a horse towards him with two wolves in his hand.
Wang Tou hurried out, raised his fist high, and greeted, "Brother Le..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw his cousin, the great General Wude, smiling flatteringly and throwing the two wolves at the feet of the second daughter-in-law of the Zhan family.
His voice was like thunder.
"sister in law!"
"I picked these wolves specially. Their skins are intact. Take them with you. When we get to Mobei, buy yourself and my brother a full set of furs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers around him threw several wolf corpses at Guo's feet.
Once again, Guo was shocked by Guan Pingle's behavior.
"I'm sorry, I scared you." Guan Pingle laughed and scratched his head, "Sister-in-law, don't say bad things about me to my brother later."
"No... no..." Guo couldn't speak clearly.
"Cousin... Cousin..." Wang Tou couldn't speak clearly.
How come his cousin, the dignified General Wude, seems to have a special relationship with the Zhan family?
Guan Pingle's pair of tiger eyes swept over, and his sharp gaze turned around Wang Tou's body, making Wang Tou's legs and feet weak.
Guan Pingle seemed to have thought of something and bared his white teeth, "How could you offend my brother, you blind man?"
Wang Tou:?
"No, cousin, I am your brother." Wang Tou was about to cry. Fortunately, he never said bad things about the Zhan family.
"What's your last name?" Guan Pingle pulled the horse's reins impatiently.
"Wang..." Wangtou said in a low voice.
"Look, your surname is Wang, and mine is Guan. We have different surnames, so how can we be called cousins?" Guan Pingle said, turned his horse's head, and walked away.
He was also in a hurry to deal with the wolf corpses, which were precious.
I don't have time to argue with this person who is trying to get close to me.
Wang stood there in a daze, staring blankly at his cousin's back as he turned his back on him, wanting to cry but without tears.
Shen Zhaozhao had been watching from the side, holding Zhan Nanxing's hand. Knowing that he probably couldn't hear, he still asked, "Oh, why do cousins have different surnames?"
Zhan Nanxing did not respond.
But Wang Tou, who was not far away, heard it, walked over with a dejected face.
"My cousin's current name was given to him by a nobleman before he joined the army. He was called Wang Jiao at first."
Shen Zhaozhao silently recited Wang Tou's name, and when he thought of his fourth brother's original name, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
In ancient times, people at the lower classes gave their children names quite casually.
Guan Pingle.
Now this name is good, it means a cultured person.
