Chapter 52: Borrowing Your Wife for a Use

Zhao Da followed up, and before the horse had stopped, he dismounted and knowingly handed the horse to Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei rode the horse to chase Su Wan.

Zhao Da took a breath and was about to buy a horse. When he turned around, he saw Gu Huaizhi, dressed in a moon-white robe, standing in the crowd not far away like an orchid and jade tree^[1]“芝蘭” refers to orchids, and “玉樹” refers to a jade tree, both of which are symbols of nobility and elegance in Chinese culture..

His pair of dark eyes were as cold as a deep and cold pool, staring intently ahead.

Su Wan is on horseback, the breeze blew her sleeves fluttering, looking graceful and agile.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Wei who was catching up. He raised his eyebrows, waved the horse whip, and the horse ran like an arrow off the string.

Zhao Wei saw her provocative look and twitched his eyebrows. The horse under her was his, and with just a whistle from him, it would stay in place, and he could easily win her.

But he couldn’t offend her when he needed her, he squeezed his long legs against the horse’s belly, and the horse ‘whooshed’ and jumped out.

Gu Huaizhi looked at the two people who were carefree and unrestrained. It was as if no one could interfere with the harmonious atmosphere of chasing after each other.

His thin lips pursed into a line, his eyes were so dark that no light could enter, and no emotion could be seen.

Zhao Da scratched his goatee, strode towards Gu Huaizhi, and slapped Gu Huaizhi with his big palm, “Brother Gu, there are wounded in the military camp, the general borrows your wife for a use, don’t take it to heart.”

Gu Huaizhi’s eyebrows frowned, looked at his hand on his shoulder, and raised his hand to pat it off.

“Zhao Wei has no capable people in his hands, and he has fallen to the point of robbing people on the street.” Gu Huaizhi glanced at Zhao Da indifferently, hooked the corner of his mouth and said: “Seeing is believing, the far-famed General of the Cavalry is nothing more than this.”

“Hey, why are you so harsh when you speak” Zhao Da was angry and stared with a pair of bull’s eyes.

Gu Huaizhi shrugged his shoulders and disappeared into the crowd.

Su Wan hadn’t ridden a horse for a long time. Her grandfather taught her to be both literate and martial, and she didn’t fall behind in anything.

She liked horse riding. When she was busy with her studies and work, she could relieve stress by running a few laps in the horse field.

Su Wan looked at the military camp in front of her, her red lips curled up, her eyes became sharp, and she sprinted faster, then stopped one mile away from the military camp.

She turned her head and showed Zhao Wei a victorious smile.

The strong wind ruffled her hair, and her smile was as bright as a flower.

The fierce sunlight behind her was not as bright and charming as her smile, as if the light was dimmed.

Zhao Wei’s eyes deepened, he pulled the reins, and drove side by side with Su Wan. He turned his head to look at her, his eyes fell on her clear and beautiful face, “Your horsemanship is very good, have you learned it before?”

Su Wan brushed her messy hair behind her ears and vaguely said, “I learned it privately.”

With this race against Zhao Wei, she was particularly happy, and she hadn’t been so hearty for a long time. She reached out and touched the horse’s mane, her cheeks showed two shallow dimples, “In consideration of you racing with me, I will forgive your offense this time.”

Zhao Wei was indeed abrupt, he said with a low and hoarse voice, “The matter is urgent, I hope Young lady Su can bear it.”

“I am Mrs. Gu.” Although Su Wan felt that she would break up with Gu Huaizhi, she was now wearing his wife’s identity, so she had to make it clear, “It’s not appropriate for you to call me Young lady Su.”

Zhao Wei was taken aback, and readily said, “Mrs. Gu, please come with me.”

He dismounted and threw the reins to the soldier.

Su Wan dismounted, and gave the reins to a soldier next to her.

The two of them walked to the camp.

The soldiers all the way called, “General.”

Zhao Wei lifted the camp, and made a please gesture.

Su Wan bent down slightly to go in, and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood. At a glance, she saw a big man lying on the bed with an arrow stuck in his chest, his face pale and he fell into a coma.

The military doctor saw Su Wan stunned, and immediately looked past her towards Zhao Wei, and said anxiously: “General, the deputy general can’t hold on much longer, what should we do?”
