Chapter 156: Holding
According to the rules, Yun Zhuan and Bai Ye traveled separately. Bai Ye's legs were not in good condition, so after the separation, he went to Yuan County to wait.
Nothing serious happened around her and there were people to take care of her, so she arranged for Bai Ye's little follower Zhao Xun to go with him.
In this way, Yun Zhuan can rest assured that someone is taking care of her husband.
In the carriage, she spent some time reading letters as usual, and then began to rest.
The journey was peaceful, there were no assassinations, let alone poisonings.
She carefully drew two swords somewhere on her itinerary, and she decided for herself that after she had completed this task, she could start planning her work.
On the surface, they began to recruit troops as an uprising army and officially went to war with the current Nanzhao.
After taking over a few important counties, most of Nanzhao's territory will be in our hands.
This is destined to be a long and difficult process.
But suddenly, Yun Zhuan felt a chill on her neck, and then something cold was placed on her neck.
Yun Ju'an could see the person holding her with her peripheral vision. He was wearing a mask and his eyes were indeed sharp. He stared at her with cold eyes.
She understood what this meant immediately.
The carriage was still moving forward steadily. Yun Zhuan had a keen sense of smell and could tell that the man had wounds and was still bleeding.
She took out a cloth bag containing golden sore medicine from her purse and put her hand directly on the source of the bloody smell.
The man reacted fully and couldn't help but groan in pain. Instead, he looked at Yun Zhuan with even more annoyance.
"Miss." Duhuo hadn't heard Yun Zhuan's voice for a long time, and he felt something was wrong in the carriage, so he tentatively called out, "Miss, are you there?"
All I could hear was Yun Zhuan's lazy voice: "Hmm."
Only then did Duhuo feel relieved.
Yun Zhuan looked at the man in front of her calmly. She did not forget that this was in the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom. Could this man be a killer?
The man quickly noticed Yun Zhuan's smiling and teasing eyes, and his face suddenly became red.
He had not noticed the woman's face before, but after taking this look, he found that his sweetheart pales in comparison to her.
This made the man very upset, not to mention that the woman didn't seem to be afraid of him killing someone at all.
The dagger was pressed against her neck, but she still looked leisurely and even looked at him from time to time.
Thinking of this, the man seemed a little embarrassed, so he pushed the dagger a little deeper, against Yun Ju'an's neck and cut a sharp mark.
"It hurts." There was some unhappiness in Yun Ju'an's eyes, but he was afraid that Duhuo outside would find out, so he pretended to be pitiful and cried out in pain in his ear.
But the sound was small and soft, like a feather tickling the man's ears and heart.
The man knew that it was difficult for him to control the power of his hands as he practiced martial arts. The woman in front of him was using a medicine bag to stop the bleeding of his wounds, and he seemed a bit disloyal by holding on to her.
Immediately, a dilemma came over him.
Who is this person?
It is true that she has been pampered for many years and cannot stand any hardship. She wears low-key clothes, but all of them are fine materials that are priceless. Even when she dresses up as a man, she still looks noble.
Could it be a noble?
Thinking of this, the man became even more depressed. He had been fighting with his sweetheart for many years just for the sake of having a good life in the future and living a good life with his wife.
But the simple life they pursued so much was easily possessed by others.
He was a high-ranking official, not as brave as his sweetheart. It was just a small cut, how could it hurt so much?
But the man forgot that his hand had been touching Yun Zhuan's exposed skin on the neck for a long time.
Everything he was thinking was completely overheard by Yun Ju'an.
This made Yun Zhuan couldn't help but laugh. Are all men in Nanzhao Kingdom like this?
He has more little thoughts than girls.
Still hate the rich!
Yun Ju'an was too lazy to pay attention to him. There were so many secret guards around him. Since he had already held him openly, there was no telling what might happen next. Instead of letting someone catch him now and then not being able to pry his mouth open, it would be better to wait until he left by himself. Who knows when he might bump into him.
After all…
When he held himself, he had already reached the territory of Qingzhou, but there was still some distance from the main city.
Apart from the prefect and the governor, who else in Qingzhou is worthy of their visit?
Of course, there is also Nanqiu, which is Yun Zhuan’s name in Nanzhao.
Perhaps the person in front of him doesn't know what the person he is hunting looks like.
He will come to your house in person sooner or later, so why rush it now?
Not long after, the man looked at Yun Zhuan with resentment, then climbed out of the car window, covering his injured waist.
Yun Zhuan held his chin in his hand and daydreamed. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken such a large carriage when traveling. No one would have known when someone came in or out.
The carriage gradually stopped when it arrived at Su Mansion.
Yun Ju'an casually took some golden sore medicine and rubbed it on her neck, then covered it with some rouge and powder, and finally managed to cover it up.
Being held hostage in a carriage is no big deal.
Lu'e was waiting outside the mansion to greet her: "The young lady is back."
Qing Zhi seemed somewhat relieved and came up with a smile on her face: "Miss."
Yun Zhuan asked with a smile: "Is everything going well in the mansion during the days I was away?"
"Most of the people in the mansion have surrendered, and those who have not surrendered have been monitored. If anything goes wrong, they will be killed without mercy." Although Lu'e is a lively and talkative person, she is absolutely decisive when it comes to serious matters.
Yun Zhuan asked Duhuo to take the package down from the car: "I brought you some common gadgets, such as the Nine-Ring Chain, Kongming Lock, and Jade Chess. You have some free time now, and it's great to use them to pass the time."
"Before I left, I asked Qingzhou's Feiyuzhai to order new jewelry for you. I'll send someone to bring it back later!"
Even though they were used to this kind of scene, some of them smiled, especially Qing Zhi. She was young and preferred new and beautiful things:
"Miss, I want to go!"
Yun Zhuan tapped her nose and said, "Well, go quickly and come back soon. Since you are out, use the reward money to buy yourself some of your favorite food!"
"Thank you, Miss!" Qing Zhi smiled happily, but there was a slight pain in her heart.
Lu'e followed beside her: "Miss, you must have had a hard time on your trip. Did you gain anything?"
"We have gained a lot. Let's have the people below keep a close eye on Qingzhou. We are afraid someone might come and do something." Yun Ju'an walked in front. "Duhuo has worked hard these past two days. Go down and have a rest."
Duhuo nodded: "Miss, if you have anything, just call me."
Lu'e said beside her: "Master Ming and Master Li knew that the young lady would be back today, and they have been waiting for her in the tea room since early morning..."
