Chapter 171 What a "Hero Saves the Beauty"
"Miss Nanyan."
Nan Yan turned around suddenly and saw Tong Jie standing behind her.
He was still dressed in his finery, standing there like a piece of pearl on a tattered rag, but his expression was a little unnatural: "Why are you here?"
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless. When she looked back, the figure had disappeared.
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
"Miss Nanyan, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?"
Nan Yan then turned around and shook her head gently: "No, nothing. Why is Master Tong here?"
"Oh, I got up early this morning and heard that you were out. I was afraid you'd get lost in this unfamiliar place, so I came to look for you. I didn't expect Miss Nan Yan to be here."
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and covered his nose with it. "It stinks. Let's go, not here, lest the smell here make you sick."
Nan Yan looked back, nodded silently, and followed him.
After leaving the place, Tong Jie took off the handkerchief that was covering his nose and fanned himself while saying, "Hey, I don't want to go to that place. Miss Nan Yan, don't go there anymore."
Nan Yan was silent for a while and said, "That place is quite different from North City."
Tong Jie said unnaturally, "We've fought in battles, so that's how it is."
“…”
Of course, this is what happens when a war breaks out.
However, how could the same city be prosperous and bustling on one side, completely unaffected by the war, while the other side was desolate and broken, with devastation everywhere?
It seems as if the war is only taking place in the south and has not affected the north at all.
As they walked along, Tong Jie was still saying something to her, and Nan Yan just responded. While she was still in a trance about the figure that had just flashed by, suddenly, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded from the other side of the long street.
Everyone made way for her, but she was still a little dazed. Seeing this, Tong Jie hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled her.
Nan Yan was caught off guard and was pulled into his arms.
Suddenly, a strong fragrance from his body filled her nose, making Nan Yan dizzy. As soon as she stood firm, she hurriedly reached out and pushed him away. However, Tong Jie grabbed her arm again and said gently, "Hey, be careful, don't get hurt."
He has the scent of cosmetics.
Nan Yan felt dizzy and had lost some strength being held by him. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind, as if a large group of people were rushing over and all stopped here.
For a moment, all the people on the street retreated to the side, leaving a large space. Everyone raised their heads, but seemed to be intimidated by some momentum and made no sound.
The rider from before had already stopped and was standing beside them.
In the glaring sunlight, the tall figure cast a thick shadow on the two of them.
A cold voice said, "What a hero saving a beauty."
Upon hearing this voice, Nan Yan suddenly felt her whole body tremble. She subconsciously pushed Tong Jie away and looked up. She saw Zhu Feng dressed in tight clothes, riding on horseback. In the sunlight, she could not see the expression on his face, but could vaguely feel his cold eyes, which were as cold as ice even in such hot weather.
It's freezing cold.
