After taking the medicine, Lu Shanfeng offered to send her back, but Shen Jiao firmly refused.
Shen Jiao thanked him seriously and limped away alone. She didn't notice that Lu Xianfeng's expression suddenly dimmed as he stared at her back.
After Shen Jiao returned, she was relieved to find that Huo Changze was not there, but before she could take a breath, her injury was quickly discovered by Bitao.
The little girl looked shocked and chirped and asked her what was going on and if someone had bullied her and she wanted to avenge her.
Shen Jiao reassured Bitao that no one bullied her and she was the one who caused the fall. Only then did Bitao calm down a little.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and I was given medicine and massage in time, and it healed in two days.
…
Within a few days, Huo Changze came to see her.
Shen Jiao has been thinking about how to get the token these past few nights. She goes to bed late at night and sleeps more during the day.
When Huo Changze woke her up early in the morning, she was still a little confused. She looked at him blankly, thinking she was still dreaming.
Seeing how cute her sleepy look was, Huo Changze couldn't help but pounce on her and take a bite of her pink cheeks. Shen Jiao was so frightened that she let out a small cry and suddenly woke up.
She quickly covered her face, "What are you doing!"
Huo Changze smiled and helped her up, "Why did you sleep for so long? Didn't I agree to take you for a walk today?"
Huo Changze wore a black riding outfit today, with wild beasts embroidered with dark silk thread, which looked menacing. But when he smiled like this, his aloof aura was immediately diluted.
He finally got free time these days, so he happened to take Shen Jiao for a walk around the military camp.
Shen Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up. She had been here for so long and stayed in the courtyard. She had never been to any other place except the martial arts field where she stumbled.
In fact, Shen Jiao is still a little curious about this area, and she also wants to stay for a while to experience the customs and customs here.
But Huo Changze's drunken behavior that night really woke her up, making her understand that by following Huo Changze, she would always be just a bird locked up by him.
Wherever Huo Changze goes, she can only follow him. Whatever Huo Changze wanted to do to her, she couldn't resist.
This deprivation of freedom made her feel uneasy, which is why she was so eager to escape...
Shen Jiao had a plan in mind and did not reject Huo Changze's overtures. Just think of it as the last moment of relaxation before leaving.
Huo Changze took her walking in the military camp. The patrolling soldiers would come over and salute when they saw him. Every soldier who saluted treated him with great respect.
Huo Changze not only took her around, but also took her to find the way, especially the way to his courtyard. Because Shen Jiao didn't want to live in his place because she always felt it was too conspicuous. Huo Changze didn't force her, after all, he rarely stayed in the room except for rest.
Huo Changze took her up the city wall, and Shen Jiao stood on the wall looking around curiously.
Huo Changze showed her and explained to her that there were many observation towers on the city wall, as well as arrow towers and sentry posts. Shen Jiao didn't understand how they fought, but looking at the well-disciplined army and the tight defense, she knew that with Huo Changze around, Northern Qi would not be able to step into the apocalypse.
After descending from the city wall, Huo Changze took her to the martial arts field. Shen Jiao still remembered what happened the last time she came here. At that time, she could only watch secretly from outside, but now she can come in openly.
When the military governor below saw Huo Changze's arrival, he immediately came over to salute him.
Shen Jiao didn't pay attention to what they said. She looked at the unfamiliar faces in the army, trying to find Qi Yu among them.
It stands to reason that Qi Yu's face is easy to find because of his special appearance, but after several days of training, these soldiers were sweating, stained with mud, and their faces were dusty. They all looked like they were copied and pasted. Completely unrecognizable.
Huo Changze suddenly held her hand and looked sideways at her, "Let's go."
Huo Changze took her shopping for a day and went to many places.
At night, Huo Changze caught a hare, treated it briefly, and then set up a fire to roast it.
When it was roasting, the smell penetrated Shen Jiao's nose, making her greedy and staring at Huo Changze as he roasted.
Huo Changze flipped over skillfully. This was a skill he had developed while fighting with the army.
After finally roasting it, Huo Changze tore off the fattest rabbit leg, and Shen Jiao eagerly reached out to pick it up. Huo Changze looked at her with a smile, "Have you forgotten about being burned before?"
Thinking of the embarrassing incident of getting her hands burned while eating steamed buns, Shen Jiao had no choice but to retract her hand angrily.
Huo Changze has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his hands are calloused by various weapons. He doesn't feel hot at all when holding the rabbit leg.
He blew it gently for a while, and then handed it to Shen Jiao after it cooled down a bit. The rabbit meat is roasted until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is full of juice when you bite into it.
After they finished eating, Huo Changze took her to the grassland on horseback.
Huo Changze led her on a galloping horse, with Shen Jiao's back pressed tightly against the man's chest. The horse galloped forward quickly, and the wind was mixed with the smell of vegetation. The grassland was very quiet, and she could clearly hear the pulsation of the man's bulging muscles and his intense heartbeat.
Finally, they stopped at the highest point of a hill. The night sky seemed very close to them, as if they could reach out and pick the stars above their heads.
Under the starry night sky, Huo Changze put his chin on her shoulder and asked her in a low voice: "Will you always stay with me?"
Shen Jiao was flustered and had the illusion that he had seen through her. Her eyes unconsciously fell to the grass and she hummed in a low voice.
Huo Changze's hand on the reins tightened. He didn't seem to notice her cowardice and dodge. He smiled to himself and said, "If we win this battle, shall we get married?"
Shen Jiao's head buzzed, and her tongue seemed to be knotted: "Sure, get married?!"
"Yes." Huo Changze answered quickly and with undeniable determination and certainty.
But, but...
Shen Jiao said softly: "Isn't it a little too fast..."
"And my identity is also..."
Huo Changze said: "Don't worry about any of this, I will take care of it."
Huo Changze reached out and hugged her tightly, "As long as you can always stay by my side, you have nothing to fear."
Shen Jiao was stunned, but finally agreed.
…
On the way back, Shen Jiao saw Huo Changze in a happy mood and mentioned Qi Yu again, "Can I go find Qi Yu..."
Huo Changze still had a faint smile on his lips, and he was still immersed in the happiness of having his sweetheart.
He was not angry when he heard Shen Jiao's request, and just asked her: "Why do you want to see him?"
Seeing the drama, Shen Jiao immediately said, "I haven't seen him for a long time. After all, he came here with me... He has a special appearance, and I'm afraid someone will bully him."
Huo Changze pondered for a moment, looked at Shen Jiao Qiyi's eyes, and finally relaxed, "I will ask He Qing to bring him here tomorrow."
…
Huo Changze sent Shen Jiao back to the yard and left. As soon as Shen Jiao left, she closed the door and started packing her things. Since Qi Yu is coming over tomorrow, she has to pack everything first.
No matter whether Qi Yu leaves with her tomorrow, she will leave...
Money, clothes, and medicine... There was still some of the drug Huo Changze had given her before.
She remembered putting it in this box, but why couldn't she find it?
Shen Jiao rummaged around and emptied the box but couldn't find it.
Shen Jiao scratched her head, did she remember it wrong? In another box?
Shen Jiao opened another box placed aside and rummaged for a long time before finally finding her own small box. She opened it and saw that the medicine was still inside.
Shen Jiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This was the key to the success of her plan. Fortunately, she didn't lose it.
Just as she was about to reach out and close the box, she suddenly noticed an exquisite small box with a strange shape from the corner of her eye.
The four corners of the box are carved with phoenixes, and there are albizia flowers outlined in gold thread on the box.
What's this? Doesn’t she remember that she has this thing?
Shen Jiao carefully placed her medicine box in her bag, then turned to look at the exquisite red box.
Shen Jiao thought that since it was placed here, it should be hers, so she reached out and opened it.
It was not the gold, silver, or jewelry she had expected...
But a whole set of red wedding clothes!
