This face in front of her had both eyes in a mess of bruises. His face had black and green patches all over, his nose was bleeding, and his lips were split. Where was the handsomeness that the sun couldn’t even compare to, his face was practically in a terrible state.
But on such a beat-up face, this Yun Zhao was still brimming with his classic brilliant smile. As his facial features scrunched up, it was an even more wretched sight to behold.
Even if Liu Yue was not an enthusiastic or warm person, she also felt that upon comparison, this person’s appearance now was indeed a little excessive.
Seeing Liu Yue looking at him with a barely present smile, Yun Zhao could not help giving a little embarrassed chuckle. He lowered his voice. “I don’t have a choice, the Kingdom of Hou Jin has my longstanding adversaries, I have to cover up a little.”
Talking and touching his sinister-looking face at the same time, his cheeks twitched. “However, their attacks are fiercer than usual, I reckon it’s because they are making full use of this rare opportunity which they only managed to grasp with effort.”
Adversary, maybe it is not just a mere adversary. In Liu Yue’s heart, she understood it more clearly than anybody else.
But if he wants to follow, it did not matter, she also wanted to see what this Yun Zhao really wanted to do, and what intentions he had. Moreover, he could also prove useful to her.
At this moment, Liu Yue also did not say much. She started walking down the stairs.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhao immediately followed her from behind, squeezing Du Yi who was initially walking behind her to the side, in such a natural movement that it seemed as if he was really Liu Yue’s brother.
Upper Northern Kingdom of Hou Jin City.
Yi Ya City of the Kingdom of Hou Jin was not very far from Yi Shui City. It took merely twenty plus days to travel.
The journey was peaceful. Yi Shui City Lord and the middle aged official brought a large number of troops and horses along the way, and moved towards Yi Ya City with much fanfare.
Under the protection of so many troops, nothing like Liu Yue’s experience of being plundered at Yi Shui City happened throughout the whole journey, and nobody made a move.
Of course, on the territory of the Kingdom of Hou Jin, if they wanted to spend their utmost efforts in protecting one person, how would there even be any opportunity for anybody else to make a move.
Previously they had looked on without lifting a finger, hence Liu Yue gave her independent support.
