Duo Zi also seemed to be deep in thought, "Young master, you're too late."
Huo Baichuan glanced at Duo Zi and sneered, "Even if she's married, I can still pry her out, let alone before she's even married yet. Just wait and see."
Duo Zi looked at her young master with pity, not wanting to discourage him, but hoping he would back down. So she carefully considered her words and said indirectly, "Young master, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why bother? You've stolen the princess and offended General Wei. It doesn't fit your life plan."
"What do you know? Today, I find the young princess quite to my liking, and she is the one I want."
Duo Zi, feeling helpless, tried again to persuade him not to interfere in other people's relationships, "Young master, this is probably not a good idea. The princess doesn't seem to like you doing this."
"Don't you like me like this? Do you prefer the Wei family boy? He's so quiet and reserved. Aren't you tired of being with someone who never utters a word all day?"
Duo Zi felt that her young master must be obsessed and felt sorry for him, so she persistently advised him, "Young master, you acted on impulse. It was to prevent the princess from being targeted by the emperor. I advise you to think of another way."
"Who said I did this to prevent the Emperor from targeting her? I'm going to marry her."
These words contained an element of defiance. Duo Zi thought that the young master must feel that he had lost face by losing to General Wei, so he was determined to win.
But matters of the heart cannot be measured by winning or losing.
"Young master, you're making the princess sad."
Huo Baichuan nodded, crossed his arms, and thought for a moment, "Really? I don't think she'd be sad. Does she have such a deep relationship with the Wei family boy?" He expressed his doubt, as he really couldn't see how deep their feelings were.
Having said that, without waiting for Duozi's reply, he caught up with Zhao Shu.
“I’ll tell you a secret,” he said.
Zhao Shu shook her head. "Not interested."
“I know where the Hermit of Jiecao is.” He didn’t care about Zhao Shu’s attitude at all. “Don’t you particularly want to know where she is? I’ll take you there.”
"I have nothing to pay you." She was afraid he would make some unreasonable demands at any moment; he was capable of doing such a thing.
"You little rascal, how are you so shrewd? How did you know I would make a request?" He was quite honest and didn't try to hide anything.
Zhao Shu looked at him. Over the years, time had not left any marks on his face. People of the same age seemed to look a generation older than him. God was really unfair.
Some people are ugly, ugly beyond belief, while others are beautiful, beautiful to the point of outrage.
To be honest, if we're choosing a husband based on looks, he's a good match.
For some reason, Zhao Shu remembered his words about marrying her and wanted to say something sarcastic to him, saying it was easy for him to talk when he was not in her shoes.
What kind of person should you marry?
Those who talk a good game are not as good as those who do real work without saying a word.
Girls are easily fooled by sweet talk, but she's long past the age of wanting to hear romantic words.
"With your character, do you really think you can do good deeds without expecting anything in return?" She simply couldn't believe it.
Huo Baichuan nodded, "From now on, I'll ask others for things, but not you. I'll really take you there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chubby boy stopped. "Young master, I saw it."
Curious, Zhao Shu walked over, parted the reeds, and saw what appeared to be people moving about on a small island opposite.
"The hermit Jiecao lives on the island," Huo Baichuan said.
Zhao Shu glanced at him sideways. She had been searching for so long without finding it, but he found it as soon as he arrived, making her seem incompetent.
This is hardly a happy thing.
“She should have gone to Beiding Prefecture, why is she here?” Zhao Shu didn’t believe it.
“Both the waterways and the land routes are tightly controlled. How could she get there? She had to turn back,” Huo Baichuan added. “Moreover, they only arrived on the island today. These people are very cunning; they definitely won’t stay in one place for three days.”
"How did you know they were here?" Zhao Shu asked suspiciously.
Seeing her doubt, Huo Baichuan gently tapped her forehead. "I am omnipotent and have unparalleled wisdom."
Such narcissism is rare. Zhao Shu rolled her eyes at him again, her eyes filled with utter disdain.
What I saw was people disembarking from the boat on the other side. Shortly after disembarking, they entered the small island and disappeared into the forest, from which they could no longer be seen.
"I don't know how long they'll stay here. Little Fatty, quickly go and notify people to surround and wipe them out," Zhao Shu immediately ordered.
"If someone is so good at ordering me around, does that mean they have something on their mind about me?" Huo Baichuan started being cheeky again.
Seriously, why didn't I realize he was this kind of person before? Zhao Shu felt that his image in her mind had collapsed.
She glared at him reproachfully.
Little Fatty felt very unlucky, caught in the middle, torn between two sides. Logically speaking, he should be on the young master's side, but the young master was too powerful and always bullied the princess. He couldn't stand it. What if the princess really did *that* with the young master in the future?
Therefore, taking sides is a very painful thing.
It has to be said, he was thinking way too much.
"If you want to use me, you'll have to beg me," he said in an infuriating tone.
Zhao Shu gritted her teeth, stretched out her leg, and kicked him without any hesitation.
"Princess, I sent someone to communicate with Xiao Guozi before we came. We'll lead troops to surround and capture them tonight." Little Fatty couldn't stand it anymore and decided that even if he was punished by the young master, he would still help the princess.
Sure enough, Huo Baichuan replied, "Go back to the capital and accept your punishment yourself."
“Yes…” His voice trembled.
Zhao Shu curled her lip, "Bullying the weak."
"Thank you for the compliment," he said, with a spoiled air.
Zhao Shu was speechless. Could she possibly report it to the authorities?
"Alright, now I'll take you to see something." Huo Baichuan gestured to Xiao Pang and the others not to follow, and reached out to take Zhao Shu's hand.
Zhao Shu dodged him, giving him a look that said, "If you try anything funny, I'll call for help."
