Chapter 506 Cause and Effect Reincarnation 26
On the day he left Jiangnan, Gu Yao did not inform anyone.
Just like when they came to this small town in Jiangnan.
Gu Yao dug out two jars of osmanthus wine from under the osmanthus tree behind the courtyard and waved them at Shen Juan, who was packing her things in the room. "Fox, you'd better keep an eye on this wine on the way."
Shen Juan stuffed the silver notes into her bundle, slung it over her shoulder, and turned to look at Gu Yao, saying, "Just don't be greedy and drink it."
Gu Yao, however, showed no remorse and said confidently, "That's why I told you to keep an eye on things."
Shen Juan shook her head helplessly.
He closed the door, bidding farewell to the small town where they had lived for five years, "Let's go."
Their journey must continue.
Gu Yao grabbed Shen Juan's arm and pointed north, "Let's go!"
Shen Juan took the two jars of wine from Gu Yao and put them into the bamboo basket that she had prepared beforehand.
"Okay, let's go."
As the air changed from humid to dry and the trees along the road became sparse, Gu Yao knew that they were almost at their destination.
In summer, the grasslands are lush and green. On the boundless grasslands, herds of cattle and sheep are hidden among the tall grass. A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of fresh grass.
Gu Yao rode on his horse, hands off the reins, eyes closed, arms outstretched, savoring the overwhelming feeling of freedom.
The strong and healthy grassland boys rode their horses towards them and soon surrounded them.
A group of people drew their bows, and sharp arrows gleamed coldly, pointing them at the two men.
Gu Yaocai realized that he had become a little too complacent.
The leader was tall and strong, with a stern face. He rode forward on his horse, drew his scimitar, and held it directly to Gu Yao's neck.
"Who are you?"
They were speaking Xiling's language.
Gu Yao knows a little, but not much.
He frowned and turned his head to look at the curved blade at his neck, its edge gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
He didn't like people pointing weapons at him, but they were in the wrong, and he was about to explain when Shen Juan showed no intention of indulging them.
With a stomp of his toes, before anyone could react, he leaped forward, kicking the leader off his horse and snatching his scimitar in the process.
The arrow instantly changed direction, but Shen Juan showed no fear. She stepped on the man's heart, her expression cold, and twirled the curved knife in her palm, her eyebrows arrogant, "What are you? How dare you point a knife at my wife?"
As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to plunge a knife into the neck of the man at his feet.
The man tilted his head to the side and closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not come.
The sharp scimitar was stuck right in front of him. The leader breathed a sigh of relief, but he wasn't afraid. He looked up at the person in front of him.
"You must be from Da Xuan, so how come you speak our Xiling dialect?"
Shen Juan looked down at the man, discreetly examining his attire. He squatted down and patted the man's face. "I haven't asked who you are yet, or why you hurt people without provocation?"
Upon hearing this, the man's face showed some resentment, his expression became somewhat agitated, and he couldn't help but twist his body.
"It's all because you, the Great Xuan, are despicable and shameless, always violating my Xiling borders!"
Shen Juan was also taken aback upon hearing this.
After all, once he ascended the throne, he established trade relations with Da Xuan, and the two countries never went to war again.
Oh, I forgot.
The Great Xuan Dynasty has only been established for thirty years.
The founding emperor had only been dead for a few years.
Gu Yao sighed and dismounted.
"We are just traveling around and have no ill intentions. We can pay you to stay here for a while."
Among a group of burly grassland men, the two of them did indeed stand out.
We'll be staying here for a while, so we can't act like we're running for our lives.
We still had to save face for the officials.
He could tell at a glance that this person must hold a very high position in Xiling.
A powerful person who can speak for others.
Gu Yao naturally had to be more amiable.
The man on the ground looked completely bewildered.
Gu Yao kicked Shen Juan.
Shen Juan glanced at Gu Yao with a wronged expression, then resignedly turned to her fate and became a translator.
The man was reluctant to agree, but Shen Juan directly blocked Gu Yao's steps as he tried to reason with him.
They had a very simple and straightforward exchange between the grassland boys.
Wrestling.
Gu Yao was also happy to watch the show.
He believed in Shen Juan.
The bravest warrior on the grassland, fearless of any challenge.
The grassland man stood up confidently and struck a pose.
The soldiers around them also put down their arrows and began to cheer on their own men.
Then, the confident person collapsed to the ground, completely dumbfounded.
Gu Yao stood to the side, pursing her lips and smiling softly. She politely refrained from laughing out loud. When she met the grassland man's bewildered gaze, she quickly turned her head away, but her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, clearly indicating that she was trying very hard to suppress her laughter.
Shen Juan clapped her hands, stood up, and walked slowly to Gu Yao with an arrogant expression, like a victorious rooster.
Gu Yao smiled and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, gesturing for Shen Juan to lower her head.
The golden retriever obediently lowered its head, and Gu Yao leaned closer to carefully wipe the thin layer of sweat from the man's forehead.
The man stared blankly at the two's affectionate actions, his face showing an expression as if he had been struck by lightning.
Shen Juan, however, was consumed by jealousy. She pulled Gu Yao into her arms like a lone wolf whose territory had been invaded, baring her fierce fangs. "Don't you have a wife of your own? Why are you staring at someone else's wife?"
A burly man, about 1.9 meters tall, sat on the ground, pointing at the person in Chen Juan's arms, "Your wife? But isn't he a man?"
Shen Juan looked fierce and said, "None of your business."
Are you jealous that I have a wife?
A slap in the face!
"You must not be married yet, you look like you don't have a wife who loves you."
A sword through the heart!
The man stood up from the ground. "Who doesn't have a wife?! Once I win the championship at this year's Naadam Festival, I'm going to get married!"
Shen Juan nodded knowingly. "So, the reason you don't have a wife now is because you're jealous."
Grassland Man: …………
The surrounding young boys:…………
Chen Juan won back a point, and felt great.
He waved his hand, "A man of his word from the grasslands. He said he would find a place for my wife and me to stay."
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Shen Juan, the leader simply shut up, stood up proudly, and raised his chin at the two of them, "We grassland men naturally keep our word, follow me!"
Shen Juan lowered her head and exchanged a glance with Gu Yao, then smiled at each other.
What an innocent child, so easily fooled.
