Entering the bully's den, she changed her life by farming!

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought. They know that although this vast wilderness is beautiful, it is also full of unknown dangers.

They must remain vigilant at all times to ensure their own safety. In the days that followed, they moved forward more cautiously.

Whenever night falls, they light bonfires to drive away wild animals. Wei Shao always stood by Zhao Zhizhi's side, building a solid barrier for her.

As night falls, the starry sky shines brightly. Weary soldiers sat around the campfire, sharing stories of battle and experiences with each other.

Their faces were filled with heroic expressions, and their eyes shone with firm belief.

However, just as Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi were resting in the carriage, a terrible sound suddenly came from outside. The sound sounded like a wolf howling and a human voice, and it woke them both up.

Zhao Zhizhi asked with a look of horror: "What's going on?"

"You're here, I'll go take a look first."

Wei Shao immediately stood up and prepared to go out to see the situation.

Outside the carriage, shrouded in darkness, the three Zhao brothers were fighting fiercely with Li Yunfei and other soldiers. Seeing this scene, Wei Shao couldn't help being shocked.

He shouted: "Three brothers, what's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhizhi immediately got out of the carriage and was shocked to see that the pupils of her three brothers turned black.

The three Zhao brothers were obviously under the control of some kind of drug. Their eyes were shining with strange light and their faces were distorted, like possessed evil spirits.

Their strength increased greatly, and they struck fiercely, showing no intention of holding back.

Although Li Yunfei and others were well-trained soldiers, they seemed to be stretched thin in the face of such an opponent.

"We must stop them!" Wei Shao shouted and rushed into the battle circle.

Zhao Zhizhi followed closely behind. Although her martial arts skills were not high, she still wanted to try her best to help.

"Just knock them out, don't hurt anyone!"

"Ah."

Wei Shao fought against the three brothers of the Zhao family, and he found that although their movements were fast, their strength was very heavy, as if they had infinite power. Every collision made his arms feel numb.

Zhao Zhizhi's situation was even worse. She was almost hit by the three Zhao brothers several times.

At this moment, a long roar sounded in the night sky, and a figure fell from the sky. Everyone took a closer look and found that it was a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt.

He held a long sword in his hand and struck at the three Zhao brothers in the air. The power of this sword was earth-shattering, as if it was going to tear the entire night sky apart.

Although the three brothers of the Zhao family were controlled by drugs, they instinctively felt the threat of this sword and turned sideways to avoid it. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi quickly retreated and met the middle-aged man.

"Thank you for your help," Wei Shao cupped his hands.

"As members of the martial arts, we should help each other." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, with an indifferent expression. Then, he looked at the three brothers of the Zhao family, frowned and said: "There seems to be evil in these three people's bodies. The source needs to be found as soon as possible."

After saying that, he waved the long sword in his hand, and a sword energy shot out, knocking out the three Zhao brothers.

This blow seemed to be an understatement, but in fact it contained supreme sword intent, and it happened to knock down the three of them at the same time.

"Please sir, come to the rescue." Wei Shao said sincerely.

"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded, then took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into the mouths of the three Zhao brothers.

After the elixir entered their throats, the bodies of the three of them trembled slightly, and the evil spirits in their bodies seemed to be suppressed.

"Thanks to sir for taking action, otherwise I would have been in danger today." Wei Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're welcome, young master." The middle-aged man smiled lightly.

Zhao Zhizhi also stepped forward and said gratefully: "Thank you sir for saving my life."

"It's okay, little girl, you don't have to be polite." The middle-aged man waved his hand. He looked deeply into the distance and said in a deep voice: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is best for you to leave as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded, this place was really weird, who knew what else would happen. The group quickly packed up and left this dangerous place.

While on the way, Wei Shao talked with the middle-aged man and learned that he was a swordsman from afar. He heard that there was something strange here, so he came to check it out.

Unexpectedly, they happened to encounter a scene where Wei Shao and others were besieged by the three brothers of the Zhao family, so they came to rescue them.

Wei Shao was extremely grateful. It was a blessing to meet such a master to help him.

He secretly made up his mind that after returning to the capital, he must find out the origins of this swordsman and pay a visit to express his gratitude.

During the rest of the journey, everyone did not encounter any dangerous things.

They crossed the vast wilderness and climbed over the mountains. After several days of arduous trek, they finally arrived in the capital.

The middle-aged man said goodbye to them in a hurry, and then the two went their separate ways.

After the three Zhao brothers took the middle-aged man's elixir, their condition had improved. Zhao Zhizhi asked them if they remembered what happened that night. They had all forgotten. They had no idea that they had lost their minds and wanted to attack Li Yunfei and the others. Case.

Zhao Zhizhi didn't explain too much to them, so as not to worry them.

Under Zhao Zhizhi's careful treatment, Utour's condition was effectively controlled, and he began to gradually regain his strength.

At this time, the situation in Beijing was already very tense.

In the imperial palace of Chaoyun Kingdom, Wei Shao, Zhao Zhizhi and Li Yunfei took Utur into this magnificent palace. Their arrival caused a small commotion, but it was quickly quelled by the emperor's guards.

The three brothers of the Zhao family returned to Wei Shao's mansion under the escort of soldiers.

Deep in the palace, Wei Shao and the others sat face to face with the emperor.

There was a hint of fatigue on the emperor's face, but his eyes were still sharp. He looked at Utur carefully, and then spoke slowly: "Prince Utur, are you willing to be a guest in our Chaoyun Kingdom for a while? We will send you back when the King of Northern Xinjiang is willing to sign a peace agreement with us."

Utur snorted, obviously not satisfied with this arrangement. He glared at Wei Shao, then lowered his head and nodded slightly.

He knew in his heart that there were people in northern Xinjiang who wanted his life, so it was relatively safe to stay in Chaoyun Country. After all, the people of Chaoyun Kingdom didn't dare to do anything to him, the prince.

The emperor saw Utur's reluctance, but he didn't care.

He waved his hand and signaled the guards to take Utur down to rest.

After Utour left, the emperor turned to Wei Shao and others and praised: "You have done a good job and bought precious time for our Chaoyun Kingdom. I will remember your contribution."

Wei Shao and others responded humbly, saying that this was what they should do.

Chapter 375 Return to the Capital

They know that this war is not over yet and they still have a lot to do. And all of this depends on their secret preparations.

The atmosphere in the palace gradually became relaxed.

There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth. He looked at Wei Shao and others: "If you need any help, just tell me. I will fully support you."

Wei Shao felt warm in his heart, knowing that these were the emperor's sincere words. He bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, we don't need anything. We just hope to continue serving Chaoyun Kingdom."

The emperor nodded, he understood Wei Shao's determination.

He waved his hand, and the ministers behind him immediately presented a bunch of rewards. The emperor said loudly: "This trip to northern Xinjiang has been hard work for you two. I hereby reward you with a hundred taels of gold, a pair of Ruyi jade, and a thousand acres of fertile land."

Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi looked at each other again, their eyes full of surprise. They did not expect that the emperor would reward them so generously.

Zhao Zhizhi looked at the pile of rewards with mixed feelings in his heart. She knew that these rewards were not just a reward for their trip, but also a recognition of their loyalty and ability.

The two of them received the gift respectfully, with gratitude in their hearts. They bowed deeply to the emperor together and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi left the palace.

When leaving, Wei Shao looked back at the emperor and secretly swore in his heart that he would do his best to protect the people of Chaoyun Kingdom.

Soon, the people in the palace delivered the gifts from the emperor to the mansion.

Zhao Zhizhi looked at the palace man's leaving figure with a smile on his face. She turned to Wei Shao and said, "Although these rewards are good, our loyalty and responsibility are priceless treasures."

Wei Shao nodded, he understood what Zhao Zhizhi meant. The two of them walked into the inner courtyard of the mansion together.

In the Zhao Mansion, Father Zhao, Xia Paner and others have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the return of Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi, Zhao Lao and Xia Paner gathered around and asked them about their trip with concern.

"Zhizhi, you are finally back!" Father Zhao burst into tears.

"Master, during your absence, I took good care of Xinglin Chunnuan!"

Looking at the concerned expressions of everyone, Zhao Zhizhi felt warm in his heart. She knows that these relatives are her strongest support.

Father Zhao looked at Zhao Zhizhi, his eyes full of worry: "Zhizhi, this trip to northern Xinjiang is very dangerous, and you have suffered."

Zhao Zhizhi smiled and comforted: "Dad, don't worry, everything is fine with your daughter."

Xia Pan'er also took a step forward and took Zhao Zhizhi's hand: "I hope you come back safely. We are all worried about you."

Everyone sat together, talking and laughing.

They talked about the war in Northern Xinjiang and the experiences of Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi during their trip. In the laughter, time seems to become warmer.

However, happy times are always short-lived. Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi knew that they still had many things to deal with.

Although this trip to northern Xinjiang is over, there is still a long way to go.

As night falls, the lights in Zhao Mansion are brightly lit.

Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi stood in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky.

They know in their hearts that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, they will work together and work hard for their family, country and world.

Behind them are the expectations and blessings of their relatives. All this will serve as motivation for them to move forward.

In this quiet night, Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi vowed to move forward bravely for the sake of their family, country, and the expectations and blessings of their relatives, regardless of wind and rain, hardships, and obstacles!

However, after the prime minister learned that Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi had returned safely, he became restless and tossed and turned all night.

Early the next morning, he secretly went to the palace to find the queen. The two of them talked secretly in the side hall.

The prime minister looked a little nervous and his tone was trembling, "I didn't expect those two people to come back alive."

The queen leaned against the window with cold eyes, "Yes, it's really hateful! It seems we have to find some way to make them disappear!"

The Prime Minister frowned, "Disappear? What do you mean..."

"Send someone to assassinate them." The queen's voice was cold, without any warmth.

The Prime Minister was silent for a moment, his eyes flashing with cruel light, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

So, the two of them talked in secret and came up with a seemingly perfect plan to deal with Wei Shao and Zhao Zhizhi.

At this time, neither Wei Shao nor Zhao Zhizhi knew about this matter. They were resting well in the room, and everything was calm.

The next day, the two woke up. Wei Shao felt a little thirsty, so he got up and went to get some water.

Zhao Zhizhi also woke up. She rubbed her eyes and saw Wei Shao's back, "Where are you going?"

"Pour some water to drink." Wei Shaotou said.

"I want to drink too." Zhao Zhizhi stretched and said lazily.

Wei Shao poured two glasses of water back and handed one to Zhao Zhizhi, "Be careful of the scalding."

Zhao Zhizhi took the cup and took a sip, "Well, it tastes good."

The two sat by the bed and talked about their trip to Northern Xinjiang.

Wei Shao sighed, "This time it was really a close call. We were able to come back safely."

Zhao Zhizhi nodded, "Yes, I feel very lucky too. However, we still have to be careful, after all, those people are not a good person."

The two chatted for a while and heard a knock on the door outside. Wei Shao put down his cup and went to open the door.

I saw a maid standing outside. She bowed and said, "Mr. Wei, the queen invites you."

Wei Shao was stunned for a moment, "Queen? What do you want from me?"

"I don't know this, but I was ordered to invite Mr. Wei." The maid said respectfully.

Wei Shao looked back at Zhao Zhizhi, feeling a little uneasy.

Zhao Zhizhi stood up and said, "Go ahead, I will wait for you."

Wei Shao nodded, "Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible."

He followed the maid to the palace and was taken to the queen's chamber.

The queen sat on the high hall and looked at him indifferently.

Wei Shao knelt down and saluted, "See you, Queen."

The queen said coldly, "Get up. I'm here to ask you something."

Wei Shao stood up and looked up at the Queen, "I wonder what the Queen wants to ask?"

The queen stared into his eyes and spoke slowly, "I heard that you and Zhao Zhizhi made great contributions during the trip to northern Xinjiang. But just the two of you, how did you do it?"

Wei Shao's heart tightened, and he felt something was wrong with the queen's eyes.

He was silent for a moment and replied, "We are just doing our best for the safety of Chaoyun Country."

The Queen sneered, "Do your best? I don't believe it. Did you get help from someone? Or is there some secret? Or did you reach some kind of contract with the King of Northern Xinjiang?"
