On the way back, Baili Yunzhi rode a mighty horse. Because Xing'er was afraid of riding in the same carriage with the barbarian general, she took the initiative to ask Ying to guard and salute. Before Shen Qing agreed, she ran away. In the end, Shen Qing had to accept his fate and sit in the same carriage with Xia Houzhan.
After setting off, the carriage swayed from side to side and jolted out of Yangcheng. Shen Qing lifted the curtains to look at the scenery outside the window, trying not to look at Xiahou Zhan inside the carriage.
"What? Are you reluctant to leave your hometown?"
Shen Qing rolled her eyes silently. Shen Qingluo had to endure this place for more than ten years before she could bear to leave it. She glanced at him and said calmly: "No."
"You're not reluctant, so you didn't go to say goodbye to your parents before setting off?" Xiahou Zhan sat upright and spoke intentionally or unintentionally.
"I'm cold-blooded to begin with. Besides, they never really regarded me as their daughter, so why bother?" Shen Qingluo was at most the scapegoat they had raised for more than ten years. She humiliated Shen Ruyue at the banquet, which was considered a cruel punishment. They gave a warning.
Xia Houzhan was not surprised. This woman is a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. He was silent and continued: "I went to Shen's house yesterday."
Shen Qing was slightly stunned and looked back at him doubtfully. He went to Shen's house so he never showed up? "What are you going to do?"
"Help you clean up the mess."
"What endgame?"
Xia Houzhan turned his eyes and looked at her calmly, "First, I beat Shen Ruyue to relieve her anger, and then I provoked Xue Yixuan. Do you think that if you win the bet, the matter can be settled easily?"
"They are the ones who provoked me. Do you want me to swallow my anger all the time?!" Shen Qing frowned in displeasure, "Moreover, you used the Qinghong Sword to make a bet for me during the wine tasting. Is it possible that you want me to lose?" Give it to Xue Yixuan?"
Afterwards, Shen Qing asked Xing'er about the Qinghong Sword, and then she really understood why the guests at the banquet were so shocked. Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the Qinghong Sword has been a token given by the emperor to the crown prince. Obtaining this sword is equivalent to sitting firmly Half of the world! Not to mention why the emperor would give such a precious thing to a Jingchu warrior, what she couldn't figure out even more was how Xia Houzhan could believe in herself so easily and use it as a bet.
Xiahou Zhan glanced at her coolly and said lightly: "I never thought you would win."
What do you mean?! Shen Qing was immediately angry. He never thought she would win from the beginning?! Why did she think yesterday that Xia Houzhan had begun to truly trust her as a partner? She didn't expect that he wanted to use himself to lose Qinghong. Sword!
All the excitement rushed to my heart, only to be transformed into two words: hateful, despicable, sinister, cunning...
On the way back to Winterfell, Shen Qing never spoke a word to Xiahou Zhan again. No matter how much Baili Yun made insinuations, she would not tell him the real reason for his accomplice who knew the truth but failed to report it.
When she returned to the General's Mansion in Winterfell, it was already midnight. Shen Qing opened the curtain and looked up at the door of the General's Mansion. Unexpectedly, she felt as if she was truly at home.
"Madam, you are back!"
Vice General Liu and Bai Guo stood at the door of the mansion to greet him. Shen Qing lowered his head with a smile on his face and was about to get out of the car. Madam is so attentive and considerate!~
But Shen Qing didn't appreciate it and took a step back. He easily jumped off the carriage, took Xing'er and Ging Guo with him, and went straight into the general's mansion without looking back.
Behind them, Xia Houzhan, who looked gloomy, and Deputy General Liu, who looked astonished, stood in front of the gate of the mansion. Baili Yunzhi, who came after him, saw him, turned over and dismounted with a bright smile, "I've been angry for two days and it's not enough. It seems that I can do more in the future."
There are many times when you are depressed, but they are always so wonderful that I don’t want to leave!”
Xiahou Zhan snorted coldly and entered the house with an indifferent expression.
"Mr. Baili, what happened to the general and his wife?" Lieutenant General Liu approached cautiously, but only received the reins of Mr. Baili's mount.
"Look at me, who is so busy with life, how can I have time to answer this question? There are several jars of flower carvings and fine wine on the carriage. Be careful when you let people move in!"
"Yes...I know."
Lieutenant General Liu nodded in agreement, and when he raised his head, Master Baili had already left. His face was filled with worry and worry. Without knowing the details, he would not be able to serve his master...
