"So, you're still the wife of the Jiedushi?"

"Yes."

"Hold out your hands."

The noblewoman extended her hands, placing them together.

Zheng Fan grabbed a handful of fried noodles from his bag and placed them in her hands, tossing her a waterskin at the same time, saying,

"Eat."

The noblewoman lowered her head, looked at the fried noodles in her hand, hesitated, and finally lowered her head and began to eat in small bites.

Zheng Fan clapped his hands, got up, and saw on the other side that the girl next to Liang Cheng was also happily eating fried noodles. This girl had a somewhat overly cheerful personality and didn't seem afraid of her current situation at all, only knowing how to cling to Liang Cheng.

Based on experience, either this girl was missing a screw, or she was precocious enough to know what kind of posture she should adopt to keep herself safe.

At this time, it was already dark. After capturing this mother and daughter, Zheng Fan and the others quickly encountered the Qian army's cavalry again, and the two sides engaged in another race.

After shaking them off, they encountered them again at dusk. It shouldn't have been the same cavalry they encountered before, but in any case, it was another race.

After shaking them off again, it was already late at night.

Essentially, after the successful raid on Mianzhou City last night, Zheng Fan and the others had spent an entire day but still hadn't managed to escape the territory of Qian.

However, everyone wasn't worried. The northern region of Qian was vast and suitable for playing hide-and-seek. In addition, the Qian army's cavalry, whether in terms of quality or quantity, couldn't compare with the Yan army's cavalry at all. Their pursuit efficiency and ability were also very poor.

You should know that these barbarian soldiers under Zheng Fan's command used to play cat-and-mouse games with the Zhenbei Army in the desert. Now that the Zhenbei Army had been replaced by the Qian cavalry, it instantly felt like nothing.

As for supplies, there was no need to worry too much. In the afternoon, they encountered a merchant caravan. The caravan was very sensible. Faced with the menacing hundreds of cavalry, they directly surrendered.

Since they were so sensible, Zheng Fan had to give them face. After looting their food and horses, he left the people and goods to them.

When they left, the caravan's manager kept thanking them profusely, saying they had met good people.

The reason why Zheng Fan was still eating fried noodles was because anything was better if you had something to compare it to. Compared to the dry rations the people in the caravan were eating, these fried noodles could be considered a delicacy.

Liang Cheng saw Zheng Fan get up and go to the outer perimeter, so he got up and followed him. Zheng Fan found a wind-sheltered pit, leaned against it, and, just in case, used his helmet as a shield, silently smoking a cigarette.

After experiencing being shot while trying to show off under the city gate last night,

Zheng Fan was now extremely cautious in everything he did.

Who knew if there was some sharpshooter nearby who would see his cigarette butt flickering and shoot an arrow at him?

"My lord, are you worried?" Liang Cheng squatted next to the pit and asked.

Zheng Fan shook his head, exhaled a smoke ring, and said,

"We've already circled back. We should be able to break out from the original place tomorrow."

Throughout the day, including the first half of the night, Zheng Fan's cavalry had actually been circling around. After a whole day of messing around, the place where everyone was resting was actually not far from Mianzhou City.

"If we can rest for a whole second half of the night, we'll be able to break out tomorrow. The Qian cavalry isn't good enough, and there aren't enough of them. They've been searching for us all day, they should be tired too."

"Mm."

Zheng Fan responded and took another puff of his cigarette.

"My lord, that woman should have told you, right? She suggested we go through the defense zone controlled by her husband."

The Jiedushi of Qian didn't have as much power as the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty in the other world. To put it equivalently, he was a higher-level official than Xu Wenzu of Tiger Head City. He should have about twenty to thirty thousand border troops under his command, and he should also be responsible for a fortress defense, equivalent to a real-power commander in the Yan Kingdom.

Of course, the Qian border army had serious problems with ghost soldiers. The establishment of twenty to thirty thousand might only amount to ten to twenty thousand people.

Liang Cheng saw that Zheng Fan didn't speak, so he continued,

"Her meaning is, we can pass through her husband's defense zone, as long as we keep our promise and let them go."

Zheng Fan shook his head and said,

"I don't trust women."

"..........." Liang Cheng.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I could guess that my lord might refuse, but I didn't expect my lord to use this reason to refuse."

"Maybe my description was problematic. I'm not saying I don't trust the female gender, but I don't trust this woman's judgment of her husband.

A Cheng, you and I both know how ruthless these meat-eaters are. In the world we were in before, no matter what, they would still put on a show, but here, it's just the naked law of the jungle.

That woman thinks her husband will let us go for her sake and her daughter's sake, that's from her perspective as a wife.

I haven't slept with her husband,

How would I know if her husband is the kind of infatuated man who loves beauty more than his official hat?"

Saying that,

Zheng Fan threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped on it with his boot,

And said:

"Still follow the original route. If we can get through tonight safely, we'll rush back the way we came in as soon as it's dawn tomorrow."

"What about the two women?"

"Bringing them back is also a merit. They don't have much use in our hands, but it's different in the hands of the Secret Intelligence Division or the Jingnan Marquis."

"The Qian army participating in the search for us tomorrow may be more numerous," Liang Cheng said.

Because as the matter of Mianzhou City fermented, coupled with the subsequent reaction to the kidnapping of this mother and daughter, perhaps most of the Qian border army would be mobilized as a result.

"I'm afraid they're too few," Zheng Fan replied.

"Why?"

"The Jingnan Marquis isn't blind. I don't believe that the Jingnan Marquis would be completely unaware of such a large-scale deployment of the Qian army on the border."

"Is this your lord's guess?"

"You haven't seen that Marquis in person. That Marquis isn't an easy character."

"Since my lord is aware of the situation, this subordinate won't worry. My lord, please rest well, I'll go arrange the night patrol."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zheng Fan waved his hand,

Rolled up his cloak, covered his face, and closed his eyes.

...

It was naturally impossible for everyone to bother setting up camp while resting. They were just choosing this remote and quiet place as a foothold. If there was any disturbance, it would be convenient for everyone to move immediately.

After re-checking the number of sentries and scouts sent out, Liang Cheng walked back to the big tree where he had been eating.

"Are you tired?"

The girl's voice came.

Liang Cheng turned his head and glanced at her, not speaking.

"You've been running for so long, you must be very tired, right?"

The girl took the initiative to lean over, hugged Liang Cheng's shoulders, and rested her head on him at the same time.

This mother and daughter weren't tied up here. Don't think that there are many barbarian soldiers resting here, but there are also hidden sentries arranged by Liang Cheng in the dark. At the same time, even if these barbarian soldiers are snoring, they can squint one eye and observe the surrounding situation.

There are many wolves in the desert. People who sleep too soundly are eaten by wolves long ago.

"Hey, why are you so cold?" The girl muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Liang Cheng remained silent.

"Don't you like women?" The girl asked.

Liang Cheng closed his eyes.

As the girl spoke, her hand began to slide down.

"Hiss..........."

Immediately, she inhaled a breath of cold air, and her hand retracted. Her fingertip had been cut open and began to bleed.

"Why is your thing so prickly down there?"

The girl put her broken finger in her mouth and sucked it in grievance.

Actually, it was because there was still a section of spear tip in Liang Cheng's abdomen that hadn't been taken out. The girl's hand was cut by the spear tip when it slid down.

But Liang Cheng didn't explain and continued to close his eyes.

"Hey, why don't you talk to me? I saw you in the carriage today. To tell you the truth, I've taken a fancy to you. My father wants me to marry a bookworm, but I don't want to.

I just like a tough guy like you."

A zombie, from another point of view, is indeed a tough guy. Even if it's really made of iron, it might not be as hard as him.

Liang Cheng opened his eyes and looked at the girl,

And said:

"During the day, your guards died to protect you."

"Yeah, so what?"

"Aren't you sad?"

"They eat my family's food, do my family's errands, and sell their lives for my family, it's only right and proper, what's there to be sad about?"

"Mm."

"Right? There are so many tragic things in this world, but people don't have time to be sad all day long. How about it, will you be my husband? You're not a big official in the Yan Kingdom, right? If you were a big official, you wouldn't be able to bring so few people out to risk your life.

If you become my husband, I'll tell my father, and let you come to Qian to be an official. I guarantee you'll be a bigger official than you were in the Yan Kingdom. I can also have children for you, how about it?"

Liang Cheng nodded.

"You agreed?" The girl seemed a little surprised.

Liang Cheng suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's hand.

"What are you doing? There are so many people here, let's go to the forest over there?"

Liang Cheng looked into her eyes,

And said:

"Who exactly, are you?"

............

Actually, it was freezing cold in the wild, and there were no blankets. Wearing armor and not being able to make a fire, this was actually not sleeping, but suffering.

But there was no way. In order to ensure energy for tomorrow, you had to let yourself fall asleep at this time.

Since waking up in this world, after experiencing so many things, Zheng Fan had also changed a lot. He could actually fall asleep in this kind of situation, which was almost unimaginable for him in his previous life.

It's just that this sleep was too shallow. When a fragrant breeze wafted over, Zheng Fan slowly opened his eyes.

He saw that the noblewoman had appeared in front of him, and she had also come down into this half-pit.

"What are you doing?" Zheng Fan asked.

"I, I'm a little scared."

"If you're scared, go find Liang Cheng, he's a warm man."

After Zheng Fan finished speaking, he closed his eyes. He wasn't worried that this mother and daughter would escape from here. So many barbarians were on guard nearby. If these two women made any abnormal movements, arrows would shoot over.

This was the order that Zheng Fan had given to the surrounding barbarian soldiers in front of them, and they naturally knew it as well.

"I hope you can spare my daughter."

The noblewoman took the initiative to lean towards Zheng Fan, and at the same time, wisps of faint pink mist began to surround her fingertips, gradually spreading towards Zheng Fan's nose and mouth.

"I'm not a bloodthirsty person, you can rest assured, as long as you cooperate obediently, you and your daughter will be fine, okay, now..."

"I will cooperate, I will cooperate well."

The noblewoman suddenly hugged Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he felt that his vision began to turn red, and his body also felt a little hot. This feeling was very strange. The whole person seemed to be floating in the clouds, and everything was so unreal.

"I'll cooperate with whatever you want me to do, really."

The noblewoman hugged Zheng Fan while caressing Zheng Fan's chest with her hands.

At this moment,

This scene,

Many barbarians who were on watch or pretending to be asleep nearby must have noticed it,

But they only thought that their master was playing some kind of prisoner-of-war mood here,

They even deliberately avoided their gazes,

This was respect for the master,

Everyone consciously knew what was up.

Don't look blindly, if you anger the master, be careful to have your skull knocked off and used as a bowl!

No one noticed that

The woman's other hand began to quietly reach for the knife that was placed next to Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan had already discovered that something seemed to be wrong, but he didn't know why his body couldn't move,

This woman, there's something wrong with her!

But no matter how hard Zheng Fan tried, he couldn't move, nor could he make a sound, he couldn't even circulate his blood and energy. The whole person was like he was being pinned down by a ghost.

"Really, I'm willing to do anything, I can serve you, I can accompany you, you can do anything you want to me, really..."

The woman's hand had already touched Zheng Fan's knife. She was about to succeed!

"As long as you spare my daughter, I'm willing to do anything for you."

The woman's hand had already gripped the knife, she was about to succeed!

"As long as you spare my daughter, really,

I can be your wife,

Be your woman,

If you have children,

I can be the mother of your children."

"Gurgle gurgle............"
