Chapter 387
Sha Lan just stayed by Xie Zhaozhao's side, saying she was serving tea and water, but in fact she didn't have to do anything.

Although Hongxiu and Hongxia heard Xie Zhaozhao say that "no one is born a prostitute in the camp, and they only become camp prostitutes when their clan is destroyed and they have no other choice," their prejudice against camp prostitutes is already deep-rooted in their hearts.

How could they possibly want such a person to take care of Xie Zhaozhao's daily life.

Therefore, serving tea and water, eating and resting, etc. were all taken care of by Hongxiu and Hongxia, and Shalan was not allowed to have any hand at all.

Shalan was also happy to be at ease. She smiled coldly and stayed in her room all day.

Yes, your own room.

Originally, Shallan lived with a group of camp prostitutes.

But now that he has come to Xie Zhaozhao's courtyard, there is absolutely no reason to live there anymore.

Xie Zhaozhao's courtyard had many empty rooms, so she asked Hongxiu to allocate one to Shalan.

Not surprisingly, Hongxiu was assigned a room farthest from Xie Zhaozhao's main room.

Xie Zhaozhao just shook his head and sighed.

Prejudices cannot be changed by a few words of preaching.

However, this Shalan didn't know whether it was because she was big-hearted or something, but she didn't care about eating or sleeping every day. Whenever she saw her, she always looked sleepy.

Only when she heard that Xie Zhaozhao was Xie Changqing's sister, her eyes flashed, and she seemed a little surprised, but it was just a little bit of emotion.

A few days passed peacefully like this.

One evening, Xuan Jing suddenly came to report: "Miss, Xie Changzhi left the city with two soldiers. He said he was going for a horse ride."

"My subordinates have inquired about all Xie Changzhi's preferences and habits in the past few days. He never leaves Yaocheng at will unless he has nothing to do. There is a military horse farm in Yaocheng, and he always walks his horse there."

"I'm afraid there's something fishy this time."

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes moved slightly: "Did you send someone to follow?"

"Send it, and those who follow will leave marks along the way."

"Row."

Xie Zhaozhao stood up and walked out, "Let's catch up and see if he is walking his horse or doing something else."

Because it was a pursuit, it was inconvenient to bring too many people with him, so Xie Zhaozhao only brought Xuan Jing and four or five experts. After leaving the north gate of Yao City, he found the marks left by his people, and then followed the marks along the road.

After less than half an hour, when the sky was completely dark, Xie Zhaozhao caught up with the person who was following Xie Changzhi in front of a small village.

The man pointed to a lighted thatched house in the village and said in a low voice: "When you enter there, there will be about a stick of incense. I don't know if there is anyone inside, and I don't dare to approach easily to scare the snake."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao nodded and gestured for him to step back. He went to the front and observed the thatched house for a moment, then motioned for Xuan Jing to come forward together.

The two of them arrived outside the thatched house very lightly, and saw two young men wearing Yaocheng military uniforms blocked by the broken wooden door.

There were six men in gray clothes in the yard, wearing gray masks, with no facial features visible except for a pair of eyes.

The six men in gray guard the room.

Xie Zhaozhao guessed that Xie Changzhi met people in the room.

These six people all seemed to have excellent martial arts skills and extremely agile reactions.

Xie Zhaozhao did not dare to make excuses, so he signaled Xuan Jing to lie down and stay still for the time being, while he also mobilized his inner strength to concentrate and listen carefully.

But the distance was really far, and I could only hear two occasional laughs coming from inside, but couldn't hear the rest clearly.

After about half a stick of incense, the door of the thatched house opened with a bang, and a man wearing a gray veil came out.

The candlelight in the room jumped for a moment and then went out, but this moment was enough for Xie Zhaozhao to clearly see the figure of this person.

He was tall and slender, obviously a grown man.

After the man covered with gray gauze came out, Xie Changzhi also came out. Under the moonlight, it could be seen that Xie Changzhi's eyebrows were furrowed.

The man covered with gray gauze said: "You should think about it carefully, there is still time now."

After that, he quickly left with the six men in gray.Xie Zhaozhao glanced at the man's back and felt that this figure... could gradually overlap with someone in his memory, but that person should have died in the capital long ago...

Xie Zhaozhao frowned.

Xie Changzhi stood in the yard for a long time, seemingly confused and hesitant.

Xie Zhaozhao withdrew his eyes from Xie Changzhi and signaled Xuan Jing to go back.

……

After standing in the courtyard for a long time, Xie Changzhi led two accompanying soldiers out of the courtyard and walked back.

One of them asked: "General, who are these?"

Xie Changzhi did not respond.

The person who asked the question glanced at the other soldier and shut his mouth sensibly.

They are all people who have followed Xie Changzhi for many years. They know Xie Changzhi's temperament, and silence is the answer.

The three of them got on their horses at the entrance of the village and headed back towards Yaocheng.

Yaocheng is a large military city by the sea. There are very few people in the surrounding villages. Today, except for a few elderly families who cannot move out, all the houses in this village are empty.

They were coming and going for an hour, but they didn't even hear a dog bark.

Xie Changzhi was worried. He only occasionally heard a few weak insects and the sound of horse hooves along the way, but Xie Changzhi was still in a trance.

A soldier suddenly shouted: "General!"

"what happened?"

Xie Changzhi looked at the soldier inquiringly, only to see the soldier pointing forward.

Xie Changzhi turned around and looked over, his expression suddenly becoming a little evasive.

In the night, Xie Zhaozhao led a few people to stop under a tree not far away. The bright moonlight shone on her face, and the smile that gently raised the corners of her lips made Xie Changzhi feel heavy.

"Xiao Qi, why are you here?" Xie Changzhi calmed down for a moment and asked with a smile: "It's so late..."

"Yeah, it's so late...why is Brother Changzhi here?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said: "I heard that you usually walk your horse in the afternoon. Why did you walk until the evening today?"

Xie Changzhi smiled reluctantly: "It's time to walk around freely... I'm about to go back to camp."

"Really? Brother Changzhi, you are not a liar." The smile on Xie Zhaozhao's face slowly faded, "I see, Brother Changzhi is not here to walk his horse, but to meet friends."

"Since we are friends, it is so generous and convenient, why do we need to hide and evade? Could it be that the friends that Brother Changzhi has are not visible to the public?"

Xie Changzhi's expression suddenly changed, "You——"

"Xuan Jing." Xie Zhaozhao said slowly, "Brother Changzhi, please return to camp."

This invitation is naturally not that invitation.

Xuan Jing led his men on horseback, forced back the two soldiers around Xie Changzhi, and said politely but coldly: "Please, General Xie."

Xie Changzhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes, pulled the reins of his horse and followed Xuan Jing forward.

As soon as he returned to Yaocheng, Xuan Jing personally sent Xie Changzhi back to his barracks, and then placed him under house arrest in Xie Changzhi's own courtyard.

Xie Changzhi stood in the courtyard with his eyes closed, letting the night wind blow on his face, saying nothing.

Xie Zhaozhao stood under the steps and spoke slowly: "Brother Changzhi, don't you say something?"

"What about you?" Xie Changzhi asked quietly: "You have been in Yaocheng for a long time. Don't you have anything to tell me?"

"What do you want to hear, Brother Changzhi?"

"What do you think?" Xie Changzhi opened his eyes and looked at Xie Zhaozhao: "How did my mother and Xingchen die? Aren't you going to tell me?"
