Tsk.
Hearing Shen Xining's rebuke, Xie Zhaoan was not angry at all. Instead, he lay comfortably in his seat, looking at Shen Xining with a hint of provocation in his eyes. Shen Xining rolled his eyes speechlessly in his heart.
The carriage was soon ready, and Shen Xining placed Xie Ning in a childless home here. Although the family had no children, the man had a gentle temperament and had never treated his wife harshly because of this. Shen Xining thought that this family would be a good match for Xie Ning.
Shen Xining and Xie Zhaoan boarded the carriage together, but Xie Zhaoan was still tied up. He lay in the carriage all day, either sleeping or not, and Shen Xining never took much care of him. Chun Xing looked at Xie Zhaoan warily several times, fearing that Xie Zhaoan would run away. After all, Xie Zhaoan was like a greasy monkey in Chun Xing's heart.
Shen Xining signaled Chun Xing not to worry.
"He originally wanted me to come to this border to look for Jiang Wei. All he needed was a legitimate reason. He has helped us a lot along the way, so I might as well do him a favor. However, I'm afraid Xie Zhaoan will be disappointed this time."
Shen Xining is not a fool, she is an extremely intelligent woman. How could she not see Xie Zhaoan's intention along the way? He wanted her to see the unbearableness of this world and understand what the world has become in the hands of the current emperor or the prince who is about to ascend the throne. He wants to seize power and usurp the throne, and needs Jiang Wei's help. Therefore, he tried to win over Shen Xining, and now he is on his way to win over Jiang Wei.
Unfortunately, Shen Xining knew Jiang Wei too well. He served his country and his people and would never become a traitor and be labeled as disloyal and unjust.
Xie Zhaoan listened to the conversation between the master and servant and turned over lazily. Everything was under his control. He just didn't want to see Shen Xining being forced into his plan. He just wanted to see how Shen Xining took the initiative to get on board his pirate ship.
The carriage traveled very fast and they arrived at the border in just five days. It was enough to see that Shen Xining was extremely anxious. However, Xie Zhaoan smiled disdainfully at Shen Xining's anxiety.
Yuewei felt confused when he saw his boss like this, and always felt that something was not right.
Shen Xining was stopped by the soldiers and she spoke.
"I am Shen Xining, the daughter of Grand Tutor Shen. Please let everyone know."
"Sorry! No one has been seen at the border lately! This is the general's order!"
This shows that Jiang Wei’s illness is already very serious.
Shen Xining wanted to rush in, but the man had already pointed his weapon at Shen Xining.
"Miss, if you don't leave now, we will not be polite!"
Shen Xining pursed her lips, knowing that the soldiers under Jiang Wei were not joking. However, this group of soldiers always came and went without a trace. Even if she could find them today, it might not be possible tomorrow. So what would she do then
Shen Xining handed the jade pendant in his hand to the soldier.
"I'll trouble you to give this to your general. When he sees it, he will understand who I am."
laugh.
A sneer suddenly came from behind. Shen Xining turned back in shock and happened to meet Xie Zhaoan's eyes.
"I never thought that the noble lady of the Shen family had already made a private appointment with General Jiang?"
At this moment, Shen Xining kicked Xie Zhaoan without any hesitation. She turned around and walked back, feeling extremely anxious.
"Tonight, we will break into the military camp at night."
"Oh, she really doesn't care about her life. Master Shen, do you know that your daughter is willing to sacrifice her life for a man?"
Xie Zhaoan's sarcasm followed him like a shadow. Shen Xining wanted to kick him again, but Xie Zhaoan had already untied himself, jumped up and ran to the tree.
Even if Shen Xining wanted to hit him, she couldn't. She was originally planning to discuss a few more words with Chun Xing, but Xie Zhaoan picked a fruit from the tree and hit Shen Xining directly on the head without any hesitation.
Shen Xining was so irritated that she couldn't help but climb up the tree to hit Xie Zhaoan. Xie Zhaoan then picked a few more fruits with his fingers and threw them all at Shen Xining without any hesitation, making her so angry that she was about to smoke.
Yuewei and Haruyuki stood aside, looking at the two of them with their heads tilted, and Yuewei spoke.
"Don't you think that the aura between your young lady and Mr. Yue is very similar to, um, emmm, how do you say it, like a pair of bickering lovers? Maybe your young lady actually has a crush on our Mr. Yue."
Haruyuki rolled his eyes at Yuewei.
"Don't dream here. Even if all the men in this world were dead, my lady would not want to covet your husband. Look at your husband, he looks sick and always looking for trouble. How can he be worthy of others' love?"
Yuewei put her hands on her hips.
"What do you know? My husband is unrivaled in the world, and his appearance is even better. Even if your daughter likes my husband, he may not agree."
"What nonsense are you talking about!? Bah!"
The two of them standing aside started arguing.
For a moment, it became a famous landscape painting.
That night.
The military camp was still brightly lit at night. Yuewei touched the scars on his face and asked in a wronged tone.
"Sir, should we help Miss Shen?"
"What can you do for her?"
There was a strong sense of dissatisfaction in Xie Zhaoan's voice.
Yuewei glanced at Xie Zhaoan.
"Mr. Yue, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not. You are a bit like a little husband who is jealous when he sees Lord Shen going to meet General Jiang."
Xie Zhaoan kicked him on the butt, and this time Yuewei's entire head fell into the ground.
"If you can't speak, shut up."
Xie Zhaoan stepped on his body and left, without stopping, walking towards the corner of the military camp. That was the place in the military camp with the least strict defense, and there were guards ready to meet him there. When Shen Xining saw the guards who came to meet him, he was stunned.
"Xie Zhaoan, your minions have actually reached here?"
Even though it was already summer, Shen Xining felt himself breaking out in cold sweats, as if he had never seen the man in front of him before. To what extent had his power reached? Had he already reached the point where he no longer needed Jiang Wei's help
Xie Zhaoan did not feel the slightest bit of conscious or embarrassed about being exposed. He looked at Shen Xining and felt very comfortable, as if he was not entering or leaving a heavily guarded and strictly managed camp, but some uninhabited area.
"Sir Shen, if you delay any longer, the guards will be here soon. If you are caught, you may lose your life before you even see General Jiang."
