Chapter 377
Chapter 377 Farewell to Luo Ning
Jining was situated exactly between Jinling and the capital, a distance that could neither be considered near nor far. Miss Xu's temperament seemed even more impatient than Lin Wanrong's. She had ridden her horse for three continuous hours, taking the lead without uttering a single word. The famed blood-sweat treasure horse truly lived up to its reputation, demonstrating strong and swift movement. It ran three to four hundred li without showing a hint of fatigue. No wonder the Turkic cavalry was so formidable.
"Hey, Miss Xu, let's find a place to rest up ahead. We don't want to exhaust this precious horse; it's worth a thousand pieces of gold after all!" Lin Wanrong rode up, barely catching up with Xu Zhiqing, and called out with a laugh.
Miss Xu gradually slowed her horse, gave him a sidelong glance, and snorted, "If you can't keep up, just say so. Don't make excuses. This blood-sweat treasure horse can travel a thousand li a day. Even if you fall down, it can still carry you to Jining."
Observing Miss Xu's calm and composed demeanor, showing no sign of fatigue, Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Look at what you're saying. How could I mistreat such a horse? I'm just worried about you, Miss Xu. What if you catch a cold or something during this long journey? I wouldn't know how to explain to your father."
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Lin." Xu Zhiqing shook her head, a faint smile appearing on her face. "This mere eight hundred li journey is nothing compared to fighting fierce nomads cavalry. I'm more worried about you, Master Lin. With your frail body, I don't know if you can endure the journey!"
‘Frail body? This girl is calling me weak? Did she observe it or touch me to confirm?’ Lin Wanrong grinned, "Miss Xu, you're very observant, even noticing that I'm frail. Perhaps I have been overworking myself lately. I can only manage seven or eight times a night, only half as much as before. I guess I need to rejuvenate. Just don't peek!" As he spoke, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small box, opened the lid, and inhaled deeply, looking blissful.
Xu Zhiqing caught a faint fragrance and glanced curiously at the item. Recognizing what it was, she blushed furiously, shouting, "You, you, shameless!"
"Shameless?" Lin Wanrong exclaimed in surprise. "I just warned you not to peek. Sigh, I'm merely taking medicine to rejuvenate myself, and you call that shameless? Is there no justice left in the world?"
