The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

"If you don't like His Highness, could you consider me?"

Zuo Nian, who had been holding it in for a long time, suddenly spoke tenderly, but the person next to him had long disappeared.

He turned around with half his face red, but saw only a few footprints of varying depths in the sand.

"Major General Zuo Nian, hurry up! Didn't you say you were going outside the city gate? Go now!"

Hua Ye had already walked three meters away. The sun was blazing in the sky, and she was sweating all over. The wind blew up the sand and gravel, making her cough...

When he heard her scream, he scrambled a few times before getting up.

He shrugged calmly, and the blush on his face returned to its original bronze color.

When his heartbeat stabilized, he quickly caught up with Hua Ye and walked side by side with her, and took off the silk cloth around his neck.

He pulled her arm, and the two of them stood face to face on the sand dune, against the light.

He personally put on a silk scarf for her, covering her hair and half of her face, leaving only a pair of sharp almond-shaped eyes exposed.

At this moment, a different kind of emotion suddenly appeared in her eyes. Zuo Nian in front of her was full of affection and wore the silk as if it were a treasure.

Looking closely, you can see the cloudless blue sky and the yellow desert, which complement each other.

The wind blew the dust into ripples...

The two figures stood in the middle, looking like a perfect couple who were in perfect harmony with each other.

Zuo Nian gently used his rough fingertips to touch the hair beside her face. Hua Ye's heart skipped a beat at this moment, but the next second she spoke uncomfortably.

"It's been a while, are you done yet?"

She raised her hand, wanting to knock Zuo Nian's hand away, but she never did anything, letting him fiddle with her sparse bangs.

Zuo Nian finished fixing the last strand of hair, put his hand down awkwardly, and stammered, "It's done!"

"The sun is too strong here and it's easy to get sunburned and peeled. You need to cover up like this and cover your mouth and nose to prevent sand and dust from entering your nose."

"Why are you dragging your feet and going through the trouble of explaining? This is not like you, Major General."

Hua Ye left Zuo Nian and walked into the small town in front of the city gate where the two countries connected and small vendors came and went.

Everyone here wears a headscarf to cover their face, so their facial features cannot be seen clearly. There is a mixed atmosphere and a strong sense of poverty.

The vendors were all wearing light-colored, yellowed, and worn-out clothes that were patched up one after another, and their skinny bodies were hidden in the ill-fitting rags.

The luxurious stall was filled with fruits and vegetables that were rarely seen on ordinary days, and someone asked the price.

“How did you buy this?”

"One tael of silver per catty!"

"Why don't you just go and rob it? It's so expensive!"

The vendors and the buyers started arguing back and forth...

"Come if you want to buy, and leave if you don't. I didn't open this shop to argue with you."

The woman, who only had a pair of exotic big eyes, immediately pulled out a dagger from her bare waist under the white cloak and stuck it on the table.

The cursing man shut up, his arrogance vanished without a trace, and he crouched down and disappeared...

Hua Ye immediately became interested and left Zuo Nian alone. He came to the fruit stall and pointed at an unknown oval-shaped thing with yellow skin and green patterns on the stall.

He pinched his throat and asked hoarsely, "Madam, what's this rare thing? Can you open one and try it? If it's delicious, I'll buy the whole stall for you!"

Without even looking up, she swiftly cut one open. The flesh inside was bright orange-yellow. She removed the seeds and peeled off the skin, then handed over a small half piece.

Hua Ye took it and took a big bite. It was sweet, crispy and juicy. She liked it very much.

"Could you take me to the military camp not far ahead?"

She took out a 20-liang gold ingot from her waist and threw it in front of the proprietress.

The proprietress rarely met such a rich man, so she bit the gold ingot and agreed repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange a car to take you there right away!"

She kicked the tall man who was sleeping soundly beside her and woke him up: "Wake up, a big customer has come. Take this fruit stall to the military camp in front."

The tall man touched his head and patted his long, rough face several times. His hair was braided into several pigtails and hung down behind him. There were several shaved marks on his forehead.

He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He easily lifted the fruit cart, put the rope on his shoulders, and prepared to pull it out of the street.

Zuo Nian was puzzled by her unconventional behavior, and he stood not far away in his conspicuous military uniform, watching her.
