If any of them were here, they would discover that the black shadow had given Zhao Yuanzhi a piece of paper that recorded the preferences of a deputy general named Wang Zhen.
Zhao Yuanzhi didn't dare to waste any time and immediately stayed in her room with the papers on her back. As soon as she finished, a maidservant walked into the room with a pile of items in her hands.
She took the paper from Zhao Yuanzhi's hand and placed it on the candle flame to burn. Then she pulled Zhao Yuanzhi out of the mirror and began to carefully dress her up.
Zhao Yuanzhi was dressed up in such a muddled manner, and was then carried into a carriage and brought to a desolate mountainous region. She left her driver behind and prepared to leave.
Zhao Yuanzhi stopped in front of the carriage. "Stop!" What are you all doing! Why should I leave me alone in this crappy place! If you want to leave, then bring me with you! "
Hearing Zhao Yuanzhi's words, the servant girl inside the carriage lifted the curtain. "Master told me to leave you here, do you want to disobey master's orders?" Master said you should head east. "
Zhao Yuanzhi withdrew her arms and frowned at the maid, as if trying to distinguish if what she said was true or false. After a while, she moved a little to the side.
It was only when the carriage was out of sight that Zhao Yuanzhi looked around. She couldn't see a single soul in the surrounding trees, which made her feel a tinge of fear.
Recalling what the maidservant had said just now, Zhao Yuanzhi could only grit her teeth and walk towards the east step by step.
There was dust on her face as well, but at the moment, Zhao Yuanzhi was too distracted to care about that. She walked on for an unknown length of time, feeling as if her legs had been filled with lead and she couldn't lift them anymore.
Zhao Yuanzhi dragged her skirt with difficulty and walked to the side of the road to rest. Before long, she saw a troop of soldiers approaching from the front.
Zhao Yuanzhi narrowed her eyes and looked at the person walking at the front of the group. It was only when she walked in that she recognized him as the person on the piece of paper he was carrying.
Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes flashed and her voice quickly echoed in the street in front of them. The person who had just arrived looked at Zhao Yuanzhi in alarm. "Who are you?!"
Zhao Yuanzhi reached out and pinched her thigh, tears streaming down her face, "Please help me, Your Highness!" "Your Highness, please save this servant!"
Hearing that, the deputy general's expression slowly relaxed, "Who the hell are you? Why are you here, your family? "
"My husband's house is owned by a merchant of the Southern Mountains. I was thinking about the things they had to discuss in the capital, and I didn't expect that a group of bandits would suddenly appear on the way and kill me in the process of stealing my husband's house. The servants in my house tried their best to protect my family and escape, but they were all killed!"
At some point, the deputy general had dismounted from his horse and walked over to Zhao Yuanzhi, helping her up. Zhao Yuanzhi stood up immediately, her pale face scrunched up in a frown, her tears falling uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
It was a heart-wrenching sight, but when the Lieutenant General saw Zhao Yuanzhi's face, he couldn't help but feel pleased with himself.
But he also took the chance to grab the deputy general's clothes and pitifully said, "Sir, please save me, I'm afraid those thugs aren't willing to let me go!" As she spoke, Zhao Yuanzhi's body quivered in fear.
Looking at her, the Lieutenant General thought to himself that even if she didn't have those villains, she would still attract some bad people with her face.
The deputy general frowned and said, "This time we are going to the border. I'm afraid we can't send you home. If you don't mind, we can take you to the next city."
Zhao Yuanzhi nodded her head and smiled helplessly. "Now that my husband is gone, I'm afraid my uncle won't let go of the money. What's the use of going back?"
With that, Zhao Yuanzhi forced a smile on her face as she looked at the Lieutenant General and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank Your Lordship for taking me there. I'm already very grateful, so I won't ask for anything more."
With this decision made, the assistant general turned around to look at his team. Since they were here to deliver food, there was no need to use carriages. There was no need for soldiers to use carriages either.
The Lieutenant General glanced at Zhao Yuanzhi and said in a low voice, "My apologies!" With that, the Lieutenant General bent down and carried Zhao Yuanzhi to the horse.
This series of actions made Zhao Yuanzhi exclaim in shock. She tightly hugged the deputy general's neck, and the faint fragrance of Zhao Yuanzhi's body wafted into the deputy general's nose.
The assistant general's dark face turned red involuntarily, but luckily, his face was dark so it was hard to tell. Zhao Yuanzhi looked as if she had just caught a glimpse of him, but she quickly retracted her hand in fright.
The Vice General felt a tinge of reluctance in his heart. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, only to see that Zhao Yuanzhi's smooth white neck had once again turned red.
Meanwhile, the news of Zhao Yuanzhi's disappearance had also reached the government. There was no longer any time to worry about Zhao Yuanzhi. After all, there was still more time for him to think of ways to get her back.
Yu Yu then gave it a casual glance and tossed it to the back of his mind. Yu Zheng had sent people to look for the whereabouts of Zhao Yuanzhi, but Zhao Yuanzhi seemed to have disappeared. No matter what, she could not find any information on Zhao Yuanzhi.
After talking for two to three days, Zhao Yuanzhi teased the Lieutenant General intentionally or unintentionally. Because she had forgotten about the Lieutenant General's preferences, Zhao Yuanzhi had always been able to control her temper and not bore the Lieutenant General.
When they reached the next city, the Lieutenant General put down Zhao Yuanzhi with great reluctance, but she didn't expect that tears would immediately fall from her eyes. Holding his hand, she said to the Lieutenant General while gasping for breath, "General, please let me follow you. I have no other family in this world besides you, General! Where do you want me to go!?" As long as the general is willing to bring tea and water for the general to wash, I hope that you do not drive me away! "
