A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 116 Where are you hurt?

Zhou Hanzhang smiled and said, "It's also because my mother cares about me and is afraid that I will suffer on the way."

"You're so lucky to have such a mother," Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Hanzhang then remembered that Gu Qingfeng's mother had passed away when he was born.

Seeing Gu Qingfeng's sigh at this moment, I really didn't know how to comfort him.

While Zhou Hanzhang was still hesitating about whether to offer some comfort, Gu Qingfeng had already recovered and slapped Zhou Hanzhang again.

"You're too small for your size. You didn't eat much just now. How can you grow tall?"

Zhou Hanzhang decisively withdrew her sympathy for him.

Just now, it was clearly the father and son who kept picking at the dishes in front of her, and in no time they had picked all the dishes in front of them.

She wanted to eat, but it wouldn't be appropriate for her to stand up and grab some food, would it?

Her upbringing as a member of a prominent family would not allow her to do such a thing.

Zhou Hanzhang didn't want to say anything more and went straight to the carriage to continue catching up on sleep.

Although the carriage was comfortable, even the smoothest carriage couldn't compare to home. Besides, Zhou Hanzhang had always been pampered at home and had never traveled far from home much since childhood, so this trip was quite tiring for him.

Gu Qingfeng watched Zhou Hanzhang get into the carriage. Thinking that it would be boring to go back to his own carriage during the day, he was about to follow her and ride in the same carriage so that he would have someone to talk to on the way when he heard his father's voice.

"Gu Qingfeng, get over here."

Zhou Hanzhang was watching Gu Qingfeng's actions and was worried about how to refuse him if he wanted to follow, but fortunately General Gu spoke up and stopped him.

This really relieved her.

Hearing his father's voice, which seemed quite displeased, Gu Qingfeng didn't dare to delay and said softly to Zhou Hanzhang, "I don't know what's wrong with my old man. I'll go check on him first and then come back to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanzhang quickly replied, "No need. I didn't sleep very well last night and was planning to catch up on some sleep in the car. We'll talk about it later when I'm awake."

Gu Qingfeng was extremely puzzled, and his eyes practically screamed, "You weakling!"

But he controlled himself and only said, "You couldn't sleep well in a carriage like this last night?"

Zhou Hanzhang didn't reply to him, but just stared at him coldly.

At that moment, General Gu's voice rang out again, "Aren't you coming over here?!"

"I'm going now, the old man is scary."

Gu Qingfeng didn't notice Zhou Hanzhang's gaze at all, and hurried over after hearing General Gu's urging.

"They're here, they're here."

As soon as Bi Gu Qingfeng arrived at General Gu's carriage, a howl was heard. Zhou Hanzhang listened to the howl and gently picked his ear with his finger.

"It's so miserable."

She didn't want to get involved in this, and only wanted to find the emperor and her adoptive father as soon as possible.

She recalled the look on Chen Moran's face when he told her about it that day, and how somewhat worried he seemed.

Zhou Hanzhang felt that he had just lain down for a short while when the carriage suddenly jolted, and then the sounds of fighting came from inside.

Just as she was about to go out to check, she heard General Gu's loud voice, "Don't come out!"

General Gu's sudden loud noise must mean something bad has happened outside. General Gu is someone who has been through the bloodshed of battle, so his analysis of the situation is definitely more accurate than mine.

Zhou Hanzhang wasn't one to ignore advice, so she figured she might as well stay here.

Just as she was thinking this, Gu Qingfeng's voice came again, "Dad, let's call that kid out. He's much better at fighting than me."

When Zhou Hanzhang heard Gu Qingfeng say this, his breathing was obviously unsteady, as if they had been fighting for a while, and she was a little worried.

General Gu's voice came again, "If you and I can't even handle a few petty thieves, then we might as well not stay in the capital. I'll retire and go back to my hometown as soon as possible, and you can come with me back home to farm!"

Zhou Hanzhang only heard Gu Qingfeng muttering something unintelligible, but the sound of swords and spears grew weaker and weaker. When the sound of swords and spears completely stopped, she lifted the carriage curtain.

He Shi had been standing guard beside her carriage for some time now, preventing her from being accidentally injured. She could only vaguely see some blood on He Shi's hand, as if he had been hurt.

"When were you injured?"

When he saw the blood on his hands following her gaze, he said, "Oh, young master, don't worry, this isn't my blood."

Zhou Hanzhang was finally relieved.

Looking further out, the scene was somewhat chaotic, but still within acceptable limits and not exactly a mess.

At the very least, their carriages were all in good condition and undamaged.

However, both General Gu and Gu Qingfeng's hair and clothes were somewhat disheveled, so she quickly went over to ask, "General Gu, Young Master Gu, are you both alright?"

General Gu wiped the knife in his hand on his clothes. "It's nothing. It was just a few foolish thieves trying to rob us. They were just unlucky."

General Gu was about to leave after speaking when Gu Qingfeng called out, "I have something to do!!"

Zhou Hanzhang quickly looked over, fearing that something might happen to Gu Qingfeng and he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"Don't worry about him. What could possibly happen? He went out unarmed and fought someone bare-handed. Of course he'd be at a disadvantage. He's making a scene over a tiny scratch on his hand. He's just making a fool of himself!"

After General Gu finished speaking, he didn't even glance at him, and went back to his carriage while wiping his sword.

Gu Qingfeng: ...

Of course, Zhou Hanzhang wouldn't completely ignore Gu Qingfeng. Seeing his disheveled appearance, he had to suppress a smile and step forward to ask, "Where are you hurt?"

Gu Qingfeng immediately stretched out his hands, "Look, my hands, which I finally managed to heal, are injured again."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Hanzhang couldn't help but inwardly complain. The concern in his eyes when looking at Gu Qingfeng had vanished. "Your wound, if you wait any longer, it'll probably be healed by now, won't it?"

After saying that, she ignored him and turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't you have any conscience? My father was so worried about you, it was my son and I who dealt with these bandits, and you didn't even say thank you?"

Zhou Hanzhang didn't even turn his head. "Thank you, Young Master Gu!"

Gu Qingfeng felt annoyed and wanted to argue with them, but looking at his messy body, he found it hard to bear and decided to go back to the carriage to clean himself up first.

When Zhou Hanzhang returned to his carriage, he saw He Shi still waiting for him beside it, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

He Shi nodded. "These people aren't ordinary bandits. I suppose General Gu has already noticed. I think we should keep a low profile from now on. I plan to leave any unused carriages here. We'll travel light..."
