Night fell.
As they were still far from the next town, the leader ordered everyone to set up camp in the forest by the roadside.
When the tent was set up, the bonfire was also burning.
At this moment, Zhuang Yan noticed that Daji's servants were also getting busy. They were going in and out of a tent.
That tent should be the place where Su Daji rested tonight. Zhuang Yan secretly remembered it.
After a while, a woman alighted from the carriage. Zhuang Yan recognized her as Qin Mengyu in the light of the fire.
After Qin Mengyu, who was wearing Mo 'er's identity, got out of the car, the leader of the team welcomed her and said,"Miss Mo 'er, the tent has been set up. Please inform the Empress that you can move inside to rest. Later, I will send someone to bring food to the tent.”
"Alright, sorry to trouble you, general. Mo 'er thanks you on behalf of Miss.”Qin Mengyu replied politely.
"No, no, it's what I should do. I won't disturb you any further. Please take good care of the Empress.”
After the general left, Qin Mengyu lifted a corner of the carriage's curtain and said something inside.
Not long after, Qin Mengyu moved aside and lifted the curtain. A hand as white as jade held the side of the car door. Then, a beautiful figure appeared. It was Su Daji.
The rumored beauty had appeared, and the soldiers who followed her slowed down their work intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes slightly glancing in that direction.
She was a stunning beauty in the world, and a banished immortal.
Looking at Daji's appearance, Zhuang Yan could not help but praise her.
"Clang!" An untimely sound pulled everyone back to their senses.
Zhuang Yan looked sideways and saw the pot in Ning Yunsheng's hand fall to the ground. He was staring at Su Daji in a daze.
"Trash!" The captain ran over and kicked Ning Yunsheng to the ground.
"You can't even hold a pot properly. You're simply embarrassing me.”As he spoke, he added another kick.
After cursing, the young general bowed to Su Daji and said,"Newcomer brat, sorry for making a fool of yourself in front of the Empress.”
Su Daji smiled and said calmly,""It's fine."
She had seen this kind of thing many times since she was young, so she was not surprised.
Zhuang Yan's mouth twitched as he cursed in his heart," This guy! He didn't look like a lecher.
However, although the general kicked Ning Yunsheng twice, he was also suspected of protecting him. After all, peeping at King Zhou's woman was a big or small matter. It depended on how to resolve it.
Therefore, his kick was also an explanation for Su Daji.
。。。。。。
A small episode caused Ning Yunsheng to be punished by the young general to be on night duty.
An hour later, Zhuang Yan finished his meal. He wiped his mouth and stood up to ask his sergeant,"Sergeant, who's on night duty tonight?”
The sergeant sitting opposite Zhuang Yan stopped eating and glanced around at the people sitting around him. The eyes of the soldiers who met his eyes flickered. They pretended not to see him and continued to eat with their heads lowered.
In the end, the squad leader's gaze fell on Zhuang Yan and he said mockingly,"Since you've asked, Xiao Zhuang, it's you!”
"Ah?" Zhuang Yan suddenly felt a little wronged." If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked."”
"Hahaha ~" The soldiers laughed."I'll make your mouth shut..."
Zhuang Yan waved his hand helplessly. I'll be on night duty then. Just take it that I'm unlucky.”
。。。
It was late at night. Other than a few unlucky people who were arranged to be on night duty, everyone was already asleep.
Zhuang Yan, Ning Yunsheng, and Qin Haiyun were sitting around a bonfire, pretending to be bored as they dug through the firewood.
Qin Haiyun was here because he was the unlucky one.
"Just now, my sister told me that someone called Bo Yikao might come to save Su Daji. "I just don't know where this person came from," Qin Haiyun said in a low voice. He fiddled with the fire with a stick in his hand without stopping.
Zhuang Yan did the same. He used a stick to pull the firewood and said,"Today, I heard a soldier mention that Bo Yikao is the legitimate son of Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West. He and Su Daji were engaged since they were young. Also…"
Then, Zhuang Yan shared the news he had heard with the two of them.
After saying that, he looked at Ning Yunsheng, wanting to hear the news from his side.
However, Ning Yunsheng said awkwardly,""I didn't get any useful information.”
Although he was a little disappointed, Zhuang Yan didn't care much and continued.
" At present, Bo Yikao is very likely to come here to rob people. Besides, we need to pay more attention to Wen Zhong. He has been in power for so many years, so he must have his eyes all over the Shang Kingdom. King Zhou offended two Nobles in such a big way and brought Su Daji into the palace, which is definitely not what he wants to see."”
" So, besides Bo Yikao, we should also pay attention to whether Wen Zhong will send people to rescue them. It's fine if they come in different groups, but if they come together with the same purpose, they might join hands.”
"If something goes wrong with the mission, we won't be able to say if we'll be wiped out like the Space-Time Island said. At the very least, we'll be in a disadvantageous situation.”
When the two of them heard this, they nodded in agreement.
This was also what Zhuang Yan had just thought of. He had indeed neglected Wen Zhong's existence. According to Wen Zhong's past performance and his loyalty to the Shang Dynasty, it was indeed possible that he wanted to prevent King Zhou from offending Ji Chang and Su Hu.
At the same time, it was to prevent Daji from entering the palace and making King Zhou addicted to her beauty, so he could arrange people to stop her.
"I'll tell sister about this. You guys tell Bai Cang.”Qin Haiyun finally found a way to interject.
" Mm." Zhuang Yan nodded." Brother Ning and Brother Bai are on the same team, so I'll let you pass the message."”
The three of them briefly discussed and felt that the process of the escort mission was basically clear.
What he needed to do next was to guard against Bo Yikao or Wen Zhong. In short, he would deal with whatever came his way.
After that, they started to chat about everything in the world while they were on night duty.
"Brother Ning, you've embarrassed yourself today. When you saw Su Daji, you couldn't even hold the pot steady. Hahaha ~ But speaking of which, Su Daji is indeed a rare beauty in the world.”
The young man was in a daze. Qin Haiyun remembered how Ning Yunsheng looked at Su Daji today and immediately teased her.
Ning Yunsheng waved his hand and replied," It's nothing. My master taught me. Cultivators should eat wine and women. They should admire them but not lose themselves. They should love them but not have any desires. This is the way to reveal your true nature and sharpen your Dao heart." So don't think that I'm mesmerized by Su Daji, that's actually my true nature.
Unlike you guys, who obviously liked it but had to hold it in.”
This was the first time Zhuang Yan had heard of such a theory. Of course, it was also possible that Ning Yunsheng had made it up to cover up his loss of composure today.
Old Wu was also on night duty. When he saw Qin Haiyun, he didn't plan to sit down. Instead, he dutifully wandered around.
。。。。。。
The next day, the team continued on their journey.
Zhuang Yan and the other two chatted until very late last night, and their relationship had become much closer.
In the middle of the night, Qin Haiyun, the young master of the god race, couldn't take it anymore. He found a place to sneak off to sleep, leaving him and Ning Yunsheng to take turns on night duty. Each of them only slept for half a night.
After Qin Haiyun went to sleep, Old Wu came over to chat for a while.
Zhuang Yan and Ning Yunsheng told him what they had discovered so that he could be prepared.
Old Wu was very cooperative. He said that he was standing close to Su Daji's carriage and would pay attention to Su Daji's situation.
