Chitose words

Chapter 466: Enjoying the Suffering
Xie Zhao looked at Zhuonan hesitantly, wanting to say something:
"I never thought that you would be so philanthropic."

Are you so philanthropic that you would even pay tribute to strangers you meet by chance?
Xie Zhao suddenly thought of something, and asked with a casual smile:

"Eh? Yes, many tribes in our Arjo grasslands practice sky burials. The stranger you are going to pay respect to must also be a sky burialist."

Zhuonan nodded honestly and said, "Yes."

He thought about it, added uncertainly, "It should be."

This young nobleman from the Northern Dynasty, who thought he had concealed his identity perfectly and was inexperienced in the world, didn't even realize that he was being tricked by Xie Zhao.

However, it was not his fault that he let down his guard, because Xie Zhao, this little fox, was too cunning.

"What do you mean by 'should be'?"

Xie Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sir, your decision to travel seems a bit too casual.

Since many details are still uncertain, how dare you travel alone from north to south across Jiuwei Mountain in late autumn?"

Zhuo Nan glanced at her, looking puzzled.

"You are lecturing me, aren't you? Besides, I am not alone.

It was just that I encountered some unexpected incidents on the way and was separated from my family and entourage."

"How is that the same?"

Xie Zhao muttered thoughtfully: "I'm going home."

Yes, she was going to go home after heading south and finding out the true story.

Return to Southern Dynasty Tianchen.

Zhuonan smiled and shook his head, not knowing whether he believed Xie Zhao's nonsense or not.

Xie Zhao knew that the identity of the person in front of her must be extraordinary. Somehow, she felt that this seemed to be a good opportunity.

Then, she felt something in her heart, cleared her throat, and blinked her bright and charming fox eyes.

"Brother Zhuonan, it is fate that we two have met in such a remote place like Jiuwei Mountain.

Well, you have already offended that domineering noble of the Kodaru tribe. I see that he looks at you with unfriendly eyes, and maybe he has set his sights on you.

I have to go back home anyway, and I also happen to be going to the Arjo Grassland, so why don't we go together so we can take care of each other?"

At this point, her expression was particularly sincere, and she smiled:
"Speaking of which, I just happen to want to go to the Sky Burial Ridge in the Arro Grassland to pay tribute to my deceased relatives and friends."

Seeing Zhuonan frowning and seeming a little hesitant, Xie Zhao was afraid that he would refuse, so he immediately continued to deceive:
“Besides, when you go to the Arro Grassland from Tainan, you will definitely have to pass through the Kodaru tribe.

Once you reach the Kodaru tribe, you will be entering the territory of that "garlic nose" just now. I'm sure he will look for an opportunity to cause trouble for you again!
When you and I walk together, the extra person means more strength, and he will always be a little more wary, right?

Of course, I know that you are not afraid of him, but you are separated from your family, so you don’t want to cause trouble at this time.”

The nobleman from Handong in the Northern Dynasty had a broad nose, so Xie Zhao very unethically gave him the nickname "Garlic Nose".

Zhuo Nan subconsciously looked at the nose of the noble man from Handong of the Northern Dynasty, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although Xie Zhao came from a distinguished family, she had been in the underworld since she was young, often hiding her identity among the people in the market, so there was always a hint of rebelliousness in her bones that she couldn't get rid of.

At this moment, she couldn't help her old habit of nagging, and patted Zhuonan's shoulder, asking doubtfully:
"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Zhuonan rarely had such close contact with women due to his status, and most women respected him as a god and did not dare to act rashly in front of him. Suddenly, Xie Zhao patted Zhuonan's shoulder, and Zhuonan's shoulder and neck muscles subconsciously contracted for a moment.

He paused for a moment, and said helplessly:

".No, the girl is right. Thank you for your help."

In fact, it was because he had just discovered that the nobleman named "Banzhu" from the Kodaru tribe always looked at Xie Zhao with a hint of malice from a man's inferior nature when her back was turned towards him.

Zhuonan is kind and upright by nature, which makes it really difficult for him to let go of his worry.

Therefore, when Xie Zhao suggested that they go to the Arjo grassland together, although Zhuonan felt that it seemed a little inappropriate, he did not object.

Xie Zhao took advantage of the situation and immediately stopped, saying pretentiously:

"It's not that troublesome. Don't worry, brother. I will do more work if I am capable."

Zhuo Nan: “.”

The beautiful and elegant face of a royal bride, coupled with Xie Zhao's uninhibited and unconventional personality, is really enough to make others drop their jaws.

Zhuonan laughed silently. This girl's appearance and temperament were really...very inconsistent.

That night, Xie Zhao did not sleep well.

She could feel that Zhuonan was the same as her. Although they both had their eyes closed, they were awake.

After all, Xie Zhao couldn't afford to relax too much when he was "in the same room" with the Kodaru tribe members who would often cut people into pieces.

Just looking at the garlic-nosed man's impulsive and irritable face and his eyes full of ill intentions, it is not impossible that he might get hot-headed and not care whether she is a member of the "Wolf Riders" of the Jiji Department and insist on having sex with them.

All night long, there were always some small noises and rustlings coming from the group of people from the Kodaru tribe.

Xie Zhaoben was an extremely restless person with a bit of "bad taste".

Normally, no one bothers her, and she still has to find some fun for herself. What’s more, someone wants to provoke her now?
Xie Zhao remained calm. Whenever he heard that there were guards from the Kedaru tribe quietly coming over to check whether they were asleep or not, he would pretend to be asleep and wait silently for them to approach.

Then, when the bodyguard really got close to her and Zhuonan, she waved the scimitar in her hand violently and shouted in the Northern Dynasty's Handong language, "Kill! Kill!"
——It looks just like a strange disease that kills people in a dream!

The visitor was so frightened that he wanted to roll away and throw away his armor.

Xie Zhao was also a cunning fellow. He pretended to commit the crime in his sleep, brandishing his unsheathed scimitar and specifically hitting the acupuncture points and tendons on the legs and elbows of the attackers.

It is neither hurtful nor excessive, but it makes people hate it.

After the other party retreated, this guy grinned and laughed secretly.

"boring."

Zhuo Nan closed his eyes, smiled faintly and shook his head.

Xie Zhao did not open his eyes, but just opened and closed his mouth slightly, and replied in a low voice:

"How can it be boring? The night is long and I can't sleep well. They come and go. How interesting!"

".You are quite good at finding joy in adversity."

Zhuo Nan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

This woman is sometimes mature, resolute and determined, and sometimes unruly like a child.
