Capítulo 123

Yelü Pusa Nu did not turn around, but walked straight ahead, his voice echoing from afar: "I will accompany you!" Before he finished speaking, his figure had disappeared.

"Brother! Why did you provoke him? He is Yelü Chongguang's number one warrior, and one of the best in our Great Liao. Why are you getting angry with him?" Xiao Guanyin couldn't help but feel annoyed. Because she admired Yelü Hongji, she also became dissatisfied with Yelü Chongguang, but she also knew that Yelü Pusa Nu was not someone to be trifled with.

Xiao Xin sneered, "What number one warrior? I can't stand him. Once we get to the hunting grounds, Princess, you'll see how I get revenge for you!"

"..."

Zhao Yu was both amused and exasperated, hoping that he would just calm down and, if he was going to cause trouble, not do it under the guise of avenging her.

Xiao Guanyin was both amused and annoyed to see that her silly brother was actually standing up for Zhao Yu. She got up and pulled Xiao Xin, saying, "Let's go, let's go. Didn't the princess say she had a headache? Let's hurry up and let her rest."

As Xiao Xin was being pulled along by his younger sister, he turned back to Zhao Yu and smiled, saying, "I'll come see you another day!"

Only after the two figures turned and left the door, free from the trouble of Xiao Xin, did Zhao Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief. The maidservant attending her couldn't help but laugh out loud, but Zhao Yu rolled her eyes at her before she composed herself and held her breath.

When Zhao Yu returned to the backyard, the sun was blazing, and she was also feeling unbearably hot. She drank a bowl of chilled plum juice that the maid brought her in a few gulps, but she still felt the heat hadn't subsided, so she kept asking them to bring her more.

"Is that princess here to cause trouble?" Seeing her agitated look, Mo Yan wiped her sweat and leaned closer to ask curiously.

Zhao Yu shook his head impatiently and glanced at her sideways: "Another person just came and wanted to borrow Zhan Zhao."

"Borrowing Zhan, brother? What for?"

"They said they'd be giving the Iron Cavalry Battalion of the Southern Court some pointers, which would probably take a month or so."

Mo Yan wasn't in a hurry at all, and said with a relaxed smile, "These Liao people are quite discerning. They know that Big Brother is skilled in martial arts, so they eagerly came to our door."

"How can you still laugh!" Zhao Yu said irritably. "I have to go to Fuhu Forest next month. If Zhan Zhao goes to the Iron Cavalry Camp, he won't be able to come with me. What should we do then?"

“That makes sense.” Mo Yan scratched her ear. “Why don’t we just ignore that prince and not go to Fuhu Forest?”

"We can't miss Fuhu Forest. Just now, Xiao Guanyin came to deliver a message for Yelü Hongji, telling me to prepare in advance and depart next month."

"Then... let Brother Zhan pretend to be sick and not go to the Iron Cavalry Camp."

Do you think Zhan Zhao would agree?

"He should be willing. Brother Zhan would definitely be worried if you, Princess, went hunting by yourself." Mo Yan was quite certain of this.

Zhao Yu sighed: "Pretending to be sick isn't a good idea either. That person, that person... Never mind, let's discuss it with Zhan Zhao when he gets back."

Before long, Zhan Zhao returned, stepped into the backyard, and respectfully bowed to the princess.

Zhao Yu quickly told him what had happened and asked, "Does Guardian Zhan have a good plan?"

"Zhan Zhao is willing to go to the Iron Cavalry Camp."

Zhao Yu was stunned when Zhan Zhao spoke. Mo Yan, who was carefully and cautiously handing Zhan Zhao a bowl of plum juice that was almost overflowing, also stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.

"What am I supposed to do if I go to Fuhu Forest?" After a moment of stunned silence, Zhao Yu almost jumped up.

"Didn't the Vice Envoy say he would send ten warriors to protect the princess? I don't think there will be any problems."

Zhao Yu was truly enraged: "Zhan Zhao! You..."

Zhan Zhao remained calm and said, "Princess, this is not what I wanted either, but since Yelü Chongguang has brought it up, if we refuse him, we may sow the seeds of future discord."

"But no matter what, I can't go to Fuhu Forest without anyone I can rely on," Zhao Yu said irritably. "Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

Judging from her words, she clearly didn't consider herself a reliable person. Mo Yan frowned, unconsciously took a big gulp of plum juice, and then realized that the bowl was for Zhan Zhao, so she quickly handed it to him.

"Why don't I go to the Iron Cavalry Camp? Let my older brother accompany you to Fuhu Forest. After all, I've learned Central Plains martial arts, so maybe I can give them some pointers," she suggested.

Zhan Zhao and Zhao Yu looked at her simultaneously, their gazes conveying a strikingly similar meaning—"Go ahead, will she even want you?"

Mo Yan could only shrug: "Never mind then, I don't really want to go either."

"Princess, please put down your worries. Although Zhan Zhao is not here, he will make proper arrangements to ensure your safety."

Zhan Zhao smiled, turned around and saw that Mo Yan was covered in sweat, so he handed her the unfinished plum juice before getting up to take his leave.

Watching Zhan Zhao leave, Zhao Yu felt utterly powerless: "Is he really that willing to go to the Iron Cavalry Camp?"

"Big brother... seems a bit strange."

Mo Yan was also puzzled. Zhan Zhao always put the princess's safety first. There was no reason for him to abandon the princess and go to the Iron Cavalry Camp.

Chapter 56

The chill of the night had not yet dissipated, and a thin morning mist filled the surroundings.

"Six, seven, eight... ten!"

Mo Yan blocked Zhan Zhao's final sword strike, then stood there exhausted, panting heavily.

Before she could catch her breath, Zhan Zhao said, "It's still barely acceptable. If you lack strength, you need to make up for it with speed. Try to see if you can withstand twelve of my moves in seven days."

"……oh……"

Over the past ten days, Mo Yan has learned not to bargain with Zhan Zhao. Although he seems very amiable, his mind is definitely made of iron. If he says twelve moves, then he means twelve moves. She shouldn't even think about hoping that he will show mercy during the fight.

"Why are your eyes so red? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Seeing her listless appearance, Zhan Zhao asked in surprise.

Mo Yan yawned wearily, picked up her sword, and was about to go back to her room: "It's nothing, it's probably just too hot, I'm always sleepy, I'll go back to sleep for a while." Of course, she couldn't say that she had been up until the wee hours making clothes.

Don't you need to eat breakfast?
