Chapter 136: Understanding Less and Less About Her

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Understanding Less and Less About Her

Chu Qianli indeed intended to go to Phoenix Mountain’s Duanhun Valley.

However, she had no plans to tell Chu Buqu about this.

To avoid worrying Grandfather.

She pretended she was heading back to the Prince Residence.

After leaving the Duke Residence, she bought a horse in the market and immediately set off for Phoenix Mountain.

But to her dismay, the horse she bought from the market, pampered and accustomed to luxury, was simply not fit for the journey.

Not long after they had left the Imperial City and had been traveling in the mountain streams for over an hour, the horse’s legs gave out, it began frothing at the mouth, and collapsed!

Chu Qianli almost got thrown to the ground.

Fortunately, her agility was sufficient, and as she fell, she leapt from the horse’s back.

After rolling on the ground a couple of times, she finally stood up, unscathed.

Behind her, a cloud of red dust rose.

Chu Qianli squinted her eyes, about to hide.

But unexpectedly, the figure she saw was all too familiar.

"Han Zhan?" Gazing at the person who had leapt down from the horse’s back, the surprise in Chu Qianli’s eyes quickly turned into anger.

"I told you to take good care of Grandfather, and you ran off!"

He had completely disregarded Grandfather’s safety!

However, seeing such an angry side of her, Han Zhan felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

This girl was at least truly devoted to the Duke.

"The Duke knew you would certainly go to find Prince Xuan, and he commanded me to protect you on the road."

"No need!" What he should be doing right now is going back to protect Grandfather!

Han Zhan said, "Don’t worry, I’ve asked my father to come back, and he will personally protect the Duke."

His father had followed Chu Buqu for many years, and his loyalty to Chu Buqu was even greater than his own.

Chu Qianli thought it over and finally felt somewhat relieved.

Seeing that Han Zhan had brought not only his horse but also another one for her, her eyes lit up.

"Is this one prepared for me?"

"It’s a warhorse capable of covering a great distance in a day. The horse you bought from the market has been pampered in the city for too long, probably spoiled."

Chu Qianli no longer hesitated, grabbed the reins, and leaped onto the horse: "Let’s go!"

With a quick nudge to the horse’s flanks, she and her horse sped off, quickly leaving nothing but a trail of dust behind.

Her riding skills were astonishingly good!

Han Zhan realized that he seemed to know less and less about this Seventh Lady with whom he had grown up.

She had only been married into the Prince Residence for a few short days, not even half a month, so why did it seem like he didn’t know her at all when she was right in front of him?

Not only did she understand medical skills, but her riding was also so exquisite, and even more, her gaze was firm and determined, her demeanor displaying intelligence and steadiness.

Aside from the same appearance, what else did she have in common with the former Seventh Lady?

Watching as Chu Qianli rapidly disappeared into the distance, Han Zhan could not afford to delay and immediately spurred his horse to follow.

That night, they found a cave in a mountain stream about a day’s journey away from Phoenix Mountain and settled in for the night.

Han Zhan went out to look for dry grass and branches to make a bed, while Chu Qianli was checking the items in her space.

The ’Shop’ feature was now available, but her funds were running low.

Currently, there was just under one thousand taels left in her account.

What could she possibly do to earn more money?

The System offered no hints whatsoever.

She took out a mat she had previously placed in her space and spread it on the ground.

Then she set out a pillow and a blanket.

In these days of outdoor camping, her bracelet’s space proved particularly important.

With this space, she essentially wouldn’t suffer too much hardship.

So, when Han Zhan came back with arms full of dried grass and branches, he was completely taken aback: "You..."

What he couldn’t have imagined was that Chu Qianli, who had been sitting on the ground looking quite serious just moments earlier, suddenly threw herself at him upon seeing him...
