Chapter 391 Let's Chat
"Since you can't escape, why bother?"

Ashina Zuomu was speechless for a while, and had to admit that what she said was quite reasonable.

"General!" Xu Jiao blinked at him. In the dark night, those eyes were clear and dazzling, more and more like the stars in the sky. One night, I was very tired, can you arrange a place for me? Also, I’m a little hungry, do you have anything to eat? I’m not picky eaters, you can eat milk, roast mutton or something!”

Ashina Zuomu "..."

"If you don't have any, you can have cheese pancakes or something, I don't choose!"

Ashina Zuomu's forehead twitched twice, lady, do you feel a little bit self-conscious about being a hostage?
Ashina Zuomu slandered, but he still asked Xu Jiao to spread hay on the side of the rock wall in the cave, and threw her a thick wolf fur cloak to keep her from freezing to death.

But in that place, Xu Jiao tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep. Although she was not wearing thin clothes, and she had the wolf fur cloak, it was not warm enough. What's more, in such a situation, she would only have a ghost if she could fall asleep. .

Hearing that she was chewing the jerky that was handed to her just now, Ashina Zuomu, who had been guarding not far away, stared at him, "Didn't you say that you are very sleepy, food and accommodation are not enough. Arranged for you, you are not going to sleep again?"

"Didn't the general know that I'm not easy to serve?" Xu Jiao was not afraid of self-deprecation at all, and she replied very willfully. She rolled her eyes and simply wrapped the wolf fur cloak around her body even tighter. After two minutes, I sat up from the "bed" of hay. "I can't sleep on both sides, General, why don't we come and chat for a while?"

"You want to chat with me?" Ashina Zuomu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and when he glanced at Xu Jiao, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly he narrowed his eyes, and the next moment he calmed down, "Okay! Miss Xu wants to chat What?"

"I heard from Mo Chuohe that the general's biological mother was a Persian?" Xu Jiao asked without looking outside.

Ashina Zuomu didn't expect her to ask this question, his expression froze, his eyes suddenly sharpened when he looked at Xu Jiao, and he said "hmm" after a while.

"No wonder..." Xu Jiao seemed to have not noticed the change in him at all, and suddenly realized.

On the other side of the dark night, Ashina Zuomu quietly tensed all his muscles, and the hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists. His eyes were fixed on Xu Jiao's face. Usually, people who mentioned this topic would He doesn't say anything good, never makes an exception, and the same goes for this Central Plains woman who he thought was different.

The corners of Ashina Zuomu's mouth hooked slightly, but that mocking smile hadn't formed yet, but what Xu Jiao said was far beyond his expectations.

"No wonder, it's no wonder the general's eyes are occasionally a little green, just like the clear sky above the desert, it's extraordinarily beautiful."

Looks good... She actually said looks good?Ashina Zuomu looked at Xu Jiao in a daze, but saw her smile was clear, her eyes were also clear, her expression was calm and serious, without any flickering.Is she pretending so well that people can't detect the slightest clue, or is she really telling the truth?

"Let me just say that this mixed blood has the advantage of mixed blood. You see, you and Mo Chuohe are both mixed blood. It cannot be denied that you two are better-looking than others!" Xu Jiaoyue said more happily.

mixed race?Ashina Zuomu thought for a moment before he understood what she meant... His eyes became more complicated when he looked at her, and everyone else would call him a "bastard", but from what she heard, the mixed blood turned out to be one Pile is very natural, even something that makes people happy.

But...you can just praise him, why not bring Mo Chuohe along to praise him?He looks good. From young to now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a girl with thousands of wind and demons. Does Mo Tuohe look good?What's so good about that ice cube face that never melts for thousands of years?Those who like him are probably blind, right?
oh!Forget, there is a blind man in front of him, and he is completely blind.

Xu Jiao didn't know that Ashina Zuomu looked at her, his thoughts had drifted far away, and he was still babbling, "Not only does he have an advantage in appearance, he also has outstanding ability, and his brain is also vivid. Just imagine, the God of War in the grassland and the grassland Are you afraid that the wolves will not be able to achieve some hegemony together?"

The smile on Ashina Zuomu's face was already deep, "Miss Xu, what are you talking about, so she is waiting for me here? If you have anything to say, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush."

"Look, I just said that the general's brain is very active." Xu Jiao didn't feel embarrassed at being exposed, and responded with a smile, but he didn't rush to get straight to the point, but asked another question with a smile , "What is the general's ambition?"

Ashina Zuomu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd, but he was not in the habit of discussing his ambitions with a woman, not to mention that this woman had fooled him around a long time ago, and now she looked like she was harboring evil intentions. He had a plan, so Ashina Zuomu just squinted at Xu Jiao with probing and guarded eyes, but he didn't make a sound.

Xu Jiao was a little disappointed when he didn't get any response from Ashina Zuomu, and sighed, "The general didn't want to answer me. It seems that he was guarding against me! Anyway, who told me that I was really unkind earlier, but now It’s my own fault! The general doesn’t need to speak, let me guess.”

"The general must be the same as all the men on this grassland. He has the heart of an eagle. He wants to make contributions and protect his people. He wants to lead them to live a good life?" Xu Jiao asked, blinking his eyes and looking at Ah Snazomu looked at it with a smile.

This time there was no need for the other party to answer, she continued to smile and said, "To be honest, before I came to the grassland, I heard a lot about the grassland from Mo Chuohe, and after I came, I saw some things, I feel a lot more in my heart.”

"Although you have never been to the Central Plains, General, you must have some knowledge of the Central Plains' culture. Unlike the grasslands, the people in the Central Plains rarely worry about food and clothing in peaceful times. They live and work in peace and contentment. There is no need to worry that a stronger tribe will fight against them in order to snatch resources. Although there will be turmoil and wars, relatively speaking, the change of each dynasty will bring them at least decades, or even A century of peace."

"The general is a prairie wolf respected by the people of the prairie, and he should do something for the people of the prairie."

Ashina Zuomu looked at her, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "What does Miss Xu mean by doing something for the grassland people?"

There was a bit of sarcasm in his smile, Xu Jiao could see clearly, before she opened her mouth, she had predicted what she would face, and it was not impossible that it was even worse than what she was facing, so she was very calm and looked up. Raising a pair of eyes that are even more serene and clear in the night, he stared steadily at Ashina Zuomu and said, "Did the General never think that one day the people in the grasslands can be like the people in the Central Plains, and they don't have to be displaced anymore? Can you live and work in peace without having to worry about being robbed by other tribes all the time?"

The sarcasm at the corner of Ashina Zuomu's mouth deepened, "That's nothing short of whimsical. The grasslands are short of supplies and the weather is bad. How can we compete with the Central Plains? Live and work in peace and contentment? That's a dream! This is how our ancestors came here for generations, scrambling, killing... ...This is the fate of our grassland people! The strong are respected, and it is an eternal world, which cannot be easily changed by just saying a few words."

"Of course I know it's not easy to change, but I haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work? We don't have the unique weather and resources like the Central Plains, but we have our advantages. We are between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. If the two sides have We can benefit from trade, and..." Actually, Xu Jiao had thought a lot when she was free these days, and she was able to open her mouth at this time, but she was eager to persuade Ashina Zuomu, her tone seemed a little eager, and she wished she could talk to him. Everything she thought of was moved out one by one.

"Is this... what Mo Chuohe wanted to tell me through your mouth, or is it your own thoughts?" Who knows, before she could finish speaking, Ashina Zuomu interrupted her, and stared at her closely. she asked.

Xu Jiao paused, then looked back at him calmly, "Is there any difference? He and I are husband and wife. There is a saying in Central China that husband and wife are one body. Besides, the people in Beijie now also call me Zina, It is my responsibility to seek a better life for them, in my position to do my job."

Ashina Zuomu looked into her clear eyes, but after a while, he suddenly laughed, "What kind of husband and wife are one body? I've heard that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes!" As soon as the smile on his face faded, his eyes also turned cold, "Also, no matter who you mean, don't try to drag me into the water. I'm different from you. I grew up among wolves. When I got up, I don’t know the kindness of feeding back, and I don’t have the noble sentiments like you and Mo Chuohe. I just want to climb up step by step, to climb high enough, so that those who once looked down on me and made me suffer humiliation Everyone has to look up at me, this... is enough!"

After Ashina Zuomu finished speaking, he got up straight away, looking like he was going to leave.

"Wait!" Xu Jiao called out to him in a hurry, "You said you only wanted to climb up, but the road is not destined to be smooth. If you go up with all your heart, I don't know how many beautiful scenery you will miss on the road. Even if you really climb up Go up, and you will find that the peak may not be what you want, the height is extremely cold..."

"Whether you want it or not, you have to go up and have a look!" Ashina Zuomu said without looking back, and walked away.

Xu Jiao looked at his back and frowned.

There was a sudden chill between her brows, and she raised her eyes, only to realize that at some point, the sky began to snow again. In this mountain, looking up at the dark blue night sky, the delicate white snowflakes that kept falling seemed like Very agile...

Ashina Zuomu was very proud in his bones, so it fell into his hands. Before that, Xu Jiao was not afraid of what he might do to her, so she wrapped her wolf fur cloak tightly and slept close to the rock wall for a while.

He didn't really fall asleep much, but he had recharged his energy and recharged his batteries. When he woke up at dawn, he was in good spirits.The snow was still falling, so Xu Jiao reached out to catch a piece of snow and watched it melt in his palm.Turning his head, he saw Ashina Zuomu standing on the top of a rock, looking towards her.

She smiled at him, as if she had no doubts about what she said to him last night, as well as his reaction and reply.

However, when his eyes met her, Ashina Zuomu raised his eyebrows and turned away.

Xu Jiao raised his eyebrows, not surprised by his actions, shrugged his shoulders and ignored him.After wandering around for a while, someone brought her some food. They were dry food such as dried meat and cheese, but what was rare was that there was a pot of hot water, which made Xu Jiao very happy. She thanked her and started eating. The hot water is delicious, as if eating some delicious food.After a day like this, she got used to the environment at night and slept more peacefully.

Meimei took a nap, and when she got up, she seemed to be eating something delicious. After eating, although she was guarded and not allowed to leave, she still circled back and forth in the cave freely.

Different from her who is at ease, Ashina Zuomu frowned from beginning to end, standing on a high place and looking at Xu Jiao in the cave, all his thoughts were deep in his eyes, without revealing anything, just When he spoke, there was a gloomy tone in his tone, "How is it? Has Mo Chuohe made any movement?"

"I just received news from around the Yazhang that Mo Chuohe hurriedly left the Yazhang with people the night before. Our people wanted to follow, but they lost them. But he left in a hurry at that time, probably because he noticed the Tiger Division's camp. However, it has been snowing for two consecutive days, and all traces have been covered. But we have set up our eyes and ears around the tiger division camp, but we have never seen Mo Chuohe."

"It stands to reason that he should have rushed back! Even if he went to another place the night before, but his Zina fell into our hands, the people in the camp will definitely send a letter to him. With the speed of Master Hu, he should have rushed back anyway. Unless, he didn't receive the letter at all, or...he didn't value him, Zina, as much as we thought!"

Ashina Zuomu has been listening to them quietly, until they finished speaking, he shook his head, he had a different idea, "Mo Chuohe is familiar with the art of war in the Central Plains, and he is best at cunning. I'm afraid that if he didn't show up at this time, there is another conspiracy."

"What is the general worried about?" Harmon was straight-hearted, so he asked directly if he didn't understand.

Ashina Zuomu shook his head. He couldn't say well, but he was uneasy, especially... "Is there any news from the Harim side?" During the whole day yesterday, there was no news from the Harim side. It made him even more uneasy.

Harmon said in a bright tone, "Don't worry, General! Just as I was about to report to you, I just received news from Harim. Everything is as usual. You can rest assured now!"

Ashina Zuomu frowned. He should have breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news, but he didn't know that he was upset, and he didn't know if he had thought too many bad predictions. Now that he heard the good news, he was not happy I can't believe it.

"General!" At this moment, a confidant he brought came quickly and brought him a piece of really good news - "Mo Tuohe is back."
