Chapter 162 How Can I Like Her

It was already the next morning when Yan Shaoqing woke up, but he didn't have a hangover headache. Instead, he felt refreshed. As soon as he woke up, he was invited to the leader's tent by the Xilin tribe.

"What do you mean, let Dunzhu take us out of the grassland, and then we take her to Liangzhou to find relatives?"

After hearing what the old patriarch said, Yan Shaoqing frowned.

"Mr. Yan, I didn't say anything before because you guys are so inconvenient. But Miss Shen took action yesterday. We also know that a woman is so skilled. In this case, she can take care of Dunzhu."

Dunzhu's grandmother, with a kind face, said slowly: "Miss Shen also agreed, but she wants to hear your answer."

"Mr. Yan, I'm afraid the people of the Boji tribe won't give up. We don't want to fight with them and are preparing to migrate. This matter is imminent. After Dunzhu sends you out, she won't be able to catch up with our team when she comes back. In addition, we are also afraid that she will run into Boji. Something happened to the people of the Ji tribe.”

The patriarch also explained: "Master Yan, I don't know what you want."

"Since Shen Ru has agreed, how can I object? The patriarch asked his precious granddaughter to lead the way for us. Yan is a little flattered!"

"Since Mr. Yan agrees, let Dunzhu see you off!"

The old patriarch said with great satisfaction upon seeing this.

Yan Shaoqing didn't think this was a big deal. Since Shen Ru agreed, Shen Ru would be in charge of this person.

Soon, Yan Shaoqing and the others continued to set off. Dunzhu's luggage was not big. After Yiyi said goodbye to her family, she rode her horse to the front of the team.

"Everyone just follow me!"

Looking at Dunzhu's expression, Shen Ru showed no reluctance at all!She got what she wanted!
Shen Ru couldn't tell the direction in the huge grassland, so she could only follow Dunzhu forward.

Dunzhu's heroic appearance on horseback also aroused Shen Ru's urge to ride freely.

"Dunzhu, wait for me, I'll come with you." Shen Ru raised his riding whip and quickly followed Dunzup.

"Master, this Miss Shen seems to have found a companion. She seems to be too bored following us."

Lin Yang, Yan Shaoqing's bodyguard, couldn't help but joked.

"Of course it's boring to follow us ordinary men. It would be nice to have a girl's house to keep you company. Master, you are so thoughtful."

Another guard, Yu Tai, also said.

Yan Shaoqing was a little confused when he was named. How could he be thoughtful?
"What, you think I agreed because I was afraid that Shen Ru would be bored? You are thinking too much!"

Yan Shaoqing understood and snorted coldly, "You have never seen how neat she is when she kills people. She will never be boring."

"Miss Shen's skills are indeed amazing!"

"That's right, young master, Miss Shen's skills and appearance are outstanding even in our Liangzhou city!"

Listening to the guards around him saying good things about Shen Ru, Yan Shaoqing thought of the eye contact between Shen Ru and Xiao Wujin that he didn't understand.

"Do you think Shen Ru is really good?"

"Yes, for someone like Miss Shen, she is not pretentious when being with a group of men like us. She is good at martial arts, does not hinder us, and is very good-looking. Isn't that good?"

Yan Shaoqing was silent for a moment. He actually admired Shen Ru. Shen Ru was able to live such a good life for his family during his exile and had a good relationship with the officials. Naturally, he was not an innocent and kind-hearted lady.

Moreover, her temper is much better than that of her two sisters, and the family property... If the property of the former Hou Mansion were preserved, it would probably be expensive. Therefore, if Xiao Wujin is interested in Shen Ru, it seems to be a very logical thing!

But why isn't he happy?
"Master, isn't it because you fell in love with Miss Shen that you took her to the Western Regions?"

The guard's words made Yan Shaoqing furious.

"What are you looking at? How could I possibly fall in love with her!"

"She has too many ideas, she likes to run away, and her kung fu is still high. I won't be able to suppress her in the future. Wouldn't it be masochistic for me to like her?"

"Also, she is very close to the governor Xiao Wujin. How could I have feelings for a woman who looks at other men more than me?"

"Master, you look very jealous now." Yu Tai couldn't help but remind him.

"Yes, Master, you know a lot about Miss Shen!" Lin Yang also joked, "Isn't this a lot of attention?"

"Master, you asked your subordinate to call Miss Shen in the middle of the night and ask her to have a heart-to-heart talk on the rooftop."

Another guard, Cheng An, also spoke.

"You... you hurry up and follow up. If you don't follow up, they will disappear!"

As he spoke, Yan Shaoqing swung his riding whip vigorously and rode in the lead, chasing Shen Ru and Dunzhu.

He likes Shen Ru. How could it be possible? On the way to exile, he felt that Shen Ru was small-minded.

Shen Ru was only good to people in her own family, so how could she like her cousin, uncle, etc., who got along so badly. In the end, she was inseparable from her cousin's death. How could he like Shen Ru like this?

Although Shen Ru's clear distinction between love and hate is quite to his liking, but...but...

Various thoughts kept popping up in Yan Shaoqing's heart. Finally, he felt that Xiao Wujin liked Shen Ru.

With just this one, he suppressed all his thoughts.

"Do you think the young master looks like he has been exposed and becomes angry from shame?"

"From what you said, it really sounds like the young master has never been attracted to women. Plus the tempers of the eldest and second young ladies, to be honest, I thought the young master didn't like women!"

"I wouldn't like women like the eldest lady or the second lady either."

The attendants behind him were talking a lot, but they all caught up immediately.

After leaving the grassland, there is a desert. Before entering the desert, there are some small towns that form a country of their own.

While Shen Ru and his party were here, Yan Shaoqing was going to a specific merchant to check out the sale of fine salt.

Shen Ru and Dunzhu followed Yan Shaoqing, and the rest of the people went to buy the needed supplies. Water was very important on the road ahead.

After taking out their identity documents, the shopkeeper of a shop immediately invited Yan Shaoqing and others to the backyard.

"Mr. Yan, do you still have that fine salt? Our king wants to buy this fine salt in large quantities. With this fine salt, the food we eat will have a special taste!"

Shen Ru didn't understand. Dunzhu explained this to her from the side.

"No more. Then, when will the next batch of goods arrive? Mr. Yan, you are here, why don't you bring some goods?"

"It will take a few more months. Well, then, it's better to hurry up. After we have fine salt, who will eat coarse salt?"

These were all what Dunzhu said to Shen Ru after leaving the shop.

"Sister Shen, what is fine salt?"

"Well, it's some kind of salt sold by the Yan family. It's different from the usual thick and yellow ones. This fine salt only needs a little bit to make the dishes taste delicious. Without salt, people have no strength. , but eating too much coarse salt is poisonous, so someone in Liangzhou City refined fine salt."

Shen Ru explained that knowing that fine salt sells so well, she should bring some out. However, it is not easy to take out this thing herself, so she just thought about it!

Yan Shaoqing looked solemn as he listened to Shen Ru and Dunzhu's explanations.

"It seems that the price is still going to go up!"

"Yan Shaoqing, how much did you sell it for?"

"Five taels per catty, is it expensive? If you save a little, you can eat it for a month or two!"

"Yeah, profiteer."

Shen Ru said two words calmly, and her heart burst with joy. How much money will she get by then?
