Chapter 833: Chapter 833 Heading North

"Eighteen."

"Impossible," Nan Feng looked at his rather delicate face.

"Seventeen."

"Lower."

"Alright, fifteen."

"Younger than me," Nan Feng said and then asked, "So the Inn isn’t yours, You took it by force? What happened to the original owner?"

"..." The waiter looked at Nan Feng: "You figured that out?"

"You’re obviously not professional."

"I tied up the original Inn owners, a couple. But I didn’t do anything to them. I let them go just before I came out."

Nan Feng immediately moved a bit away from the waiter, looking at him with utter disdain, "Stay away from me."

"That couple was so stingy. If I hadn’t tied them up, you wouldn’t have been able to stay at the Inn at all. Even if you did, you would have been robbed in the middle of the night. They’re a pair of black-hearted people, who knows how many they’ve cheated," the waiter defended himself.

"So you consider yourself a chivalrous hero, then? What’s your name?" Nan Feng continued.

"My name is Liang Shuang. I have an older brother who joined the army in the North and hasn’t been back for three years. I’m on my way to find him," Liang Shuang replied.

"You’re going to the North too?" Nan Feng asked, which inadvertently revealed her own travel plans to Liang Shuang.

Liang Shuang’s eyes lit up: "Sister, you’re heading North too? I’m going to find my brother, what are you going there for?"

"To find my husband!" Nan Feng didn’t mention Wild Brother.

"Then we’ll have some company! It’s perfect. You have money, and I have Kung Fu. I’ll take responsibility for escorting you to the North."

"..."

Nan Feng had originally thought about taking the main roads because there were too many bandits on the smaller ones, but now that she had Liang Shuang as a travel companion, she wasn’t as worried.

Liang Shuang looked somewhat roguish, but he evidently wasn’t a bad person. Having an extra person on the journey would also be less boring. It was like making a new friend.

So at the next intersection, Nan Feng turned off towards the town and bought Liang Shuang a horse too.

And it was at that moment, purchasing the horse, that they missed two parties of pursuers.

One party had been sent by the Emperor, the other by Dragon Three.

...

With Liang Shuang for company, Nan Feng felt safe traveling along the smaller roads.

They took the smaller roads during the day and sought an Inn along the main roads to rest at night.

Since Liang Shuang had helped her, and knowing that he had little money, Nan Feng took care of all their food and lodging expenses on the way. Of course, the banknotes had been exchanged for silver coins, which made them easier to carry without feeling burdened.

Liang Shuang always looked up to Nan Feng, sweetly calling her ’Sister’ all the time. He would wipe the table and wash the chopsticks before meals, and even help her onto her horse.

They generally traveled during the day, resting beside forests or rivers around noon.

One noon in the forest, Liang Shuang went to fetch water from the river as soon as they dismounted, and Nan Feng ate some dry food along with the water. When she turned around, she saw a beautiful scene of river and mountain stretching outside.

It was truly beautiful, with mountains and rivers, lush all around. Nature was filled with Spiritual Qi.

In fact, in ancient Earth, Spiritual Qi was everywhere.

Nan Feng decided to stop and take a nap in the forest. When Liang Shuang heard this, he quickly found a patch of dry, soft grass for her. After she sat down, Liang Shuang sat down too.

"Sister Nan Feng, did your husband also enlist in the army?" Liang Shuang asked.

"Yes," Nan Feng casually replied, although he was actually conscripted by the Emperor himself.

"My brother did too," Liang Shuang began talking about his brother: "I don’t know what your family situation is like, but back then each family had to send one able-bodied man to join the army. I was only twelve years old at the time, and my brother was just fourteen, but being the elder sibling, naturally, he went. But three years have passed without a single word from him. My parents miss him terribly. Plus, I’ve learned a bit of Kung Fu, so I figured I might as well head North to look for him, to find out whether he’s alive or dead. Having some certainty would put my parents’ minds at ease."
