Without the burden of the army behind them, Zhang Wuji and his two companions were obviously much faster.
But Zhang Wuji, who was on horseback, always looked at Zhou Zhiruo from time to time.
Zhou Zhiruo was naturally very clear about this caring look in her heart.
She knew that Zhang Wuji cared about her, but was just too embarrassed to say it out loud.
At this moment, Zhao Linger on the side smiled and said, "Sir, that's enough. I have already apologized to Sister Zhiruo. What she said before was quite hurtful."
"I'm very sorry, don't take it to heart."
Zhang Wuji quickly said: "Sister, look at what you said. It's natural for sisters not to quarrel. I didn't say anything, so don't think too much about it."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "It's not that I'm overthinking it, but the look in your eyes just now has betrayed you completely. You've spoiled your sister Zhiruo too much."
"My elder sister just said something wrong before, but she felt so aggrieved that she even cried. Fortunately, those two girls didn't see it, otherwise, I would have lost all my face."
Zhou Zhiruo quickly said: "You are talking nonsense, I was not crying. What happened just now is over. No one is allowed to mention it again, and you are not allowed to accuse me again."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "You little slut, you change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, but fortunately, this can be considered your advantage. Although you are a little narrow-minded, fortunately you don't hold grudges."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "We meet each other every day, so what's there to hold a grudge against? Besides, I'm not as petty as you say. If I were really petty, I would have been pissed to death by you guys long ago."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Yes, my Zhiruo is the most magnanimous person. She would never get angry with her own sister just because of a word."
"Now it's all right, it's the three of us again. But we won't be able to rest on the way to Longcheng. I remember all the hard work you sisters have done."
"When I take over this world, I will give you whatever you want."
Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at Zhang Wuji and said, "In your life, you are better at talking than at fighting. You only know how to talk, but you must remember what you said. Since I followed you, I have been either fighting or on the way to fight. Especially in recent times, my butt is almost covered with calluses from riding horses."
After hearing this, Zhao Linger couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Sister Zhiruo, what you said is really funny. After the battle is over, sister will help you massage it."
Compared to Zhao Linger's laughter, Zhang Wuji looked at Zhou Zhiruo with heartache.
Zhou Zhiruo naturally understood Zhang Wuji's intention, and she quickly said, "Okay, you enemy, I was just saying it casually."
Zhao Linger said: "Sister Zhiruo, you have suffered so much. Such an ethereal woman like you has become so exhausted."
…
Zhang Wuji and his two companions went ahead, and they did not arrive at the foot of Dragon City until the evening of the next day.
Unfortunately, the city gate had already been closed.
The three of them dismounted from their horses. Zhou Zhiruo was dazed for a moment and almost fell to the ground.
Zhang Wuji quickly supported her body.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Don't worry, my dear. I've been riding a horse for a whole day and night, and my body is a little out of control. I'll be fine after a while."
Zhao Linger said: "Yeah, let alone you, my body is almost out of control."
"It's still early. The army behind us may take another eight or nine hours to get here."
"Let's take a walk around first."
…
After the three of them drove away all the horses behind them, they wandered around outside Longcheng for a while.
It was not until they found a place with lax defense that they sneaked into the city.
It was already late and martial law had already been imposed in the city.
Zhao Linger said: "The number of Yuan troops defending the city is indeed much smaller. The information brought back by my spies is accurate. Zhao Min has already gone to Jinyang."
Endless worry appeared on Zhao Linger's face again.
Zhou Zhiruo quickly grabbed her hand. Although she didn't say anything, Zhao Linger also felt her care.
Zhao Linger forced a smile and said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Sister Zhiruo, don't worry. I'm not as fragile as you think. Now that things have come to this, there's nothing we can do except take it one step at a time."
"Let's find an inn to rest first."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "But the city has already been under curfew, and the inn is probably closed. Otherwise, we can just find a rooftop to meditate for a night, just to restore our strength before the battle."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Sister, I have always noticed your diligence."
"There's just something I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I just wasn't brave enough to say it."
"You are putting too much emphasis on practicing martial arts."
"Apart from sleeping with the young master, you practice martial arts almost every night. Your current level of cultivation is naturally inseparable from your diligence, but I am an experienced person. In my opinion, you are almost reaching a bottleneck. Within ten years, you will not have any major breakthroughs."
"And ten years later, the young master will probably have unified the world, so you don't have to be too diligent and should relax a bit."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo said unhappily: "I am different from you. Your mind is full of those messy things. You have not made any progress since you followed Zhang Wuji."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "So what if I don't make any progress? I am the leader among women in the world. Even if I don't make any progress in my life, I will still be better than you."
Zhang Wuji glanced at the two of them, then said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, you'd better listen to your sister on this matter. Our army will take at least seven or eight hours to arrive here, so you might as well have a good rest."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "It's not that easy. There is a curfew in the city now and all the inns are closed. If we make too much noise, it will probably attract soldiers."
Zhao Linger rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "You little slut, I have plenty of money. Are you afraid that you can't find an inn?"
…
A moment later, led by Zhao Linger, the three of them flew into an inn that had already closed.
The waiter in the inn had already fallen asleep on the table.
Even when Zhao Linger and the other two had walked up to him, he didn't notice anything at all.
Just when Zhao Linger wanted to wake up the waiter, Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly stopped her and took out two handkerchiefs from her arms.
Zhao Linger took the handkerchief with a smile and tied it around her face.
Zhao Linger had to admire Zhou Zhiruo's attentiveness. The sudden appearance of two extremely beautiful women here in the middle of the night would inevitably arouse the ill intentions of some unscrupulous people.
Adhering to the idea that less trouble is worse than more, it is better to cover your face.
