Time Travel and Love

Mo Liujin walked behind the screen and leaned over to whisper softly in Chu Qingmeng's ear, "Qingmeng, don't leave the tent. I'll have Leng Feng watch over the tent and not let anyone in. You should take off this hood and rest. I'll be back at lunchtime."

Chu Qingmeng nodded, and Mo Liujin turned and walked out. Ling Xiao was surprised. Why didn't he take her with him? He said with a playful look on his face, "You're not taking your guard with you?"

I could hear his teasing and guessed that he knew it, but I still pretended to be calm and said, "I won't leave the barracks, so there's no need for them to follow me all the time."

Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, said nothing more, and turned to go out with him. However, the soldier feeding the horses was a newcomer. When he was leading the horses for everyone, he thought the Ferghana horse was Mo Liujin's and led it directly over. Mo Liujin hesitated for a moment. This beast, besides Qingmeng, would never let anyone ride it. He had tried to ride it before, but it just lost its temper and threw him wildly. When it failed to shake him off, it actually lay on the ground and refused to move. Qingmeng laughed so hard that he almost collapsed.

The others who had come with him were stunned. If they remembered correctly, the general had come riding his usual black horse. This horse, while also black, was clearly not the one he had ridden earlier. Chen Shao was momentarily confused and said, "This horse... is the masked guard's horse. This horse..."

"Third Master, you dropped something." Feiying came out of the big tent and patted a small cloth bag into Mo Liujin's hand, indicating that he could ride his horse and that it was okay. Mo Liujin nodded slightly.

"Ferghana horse?!" Li Xiu screamed in horror, his eyes wide open. This thing was a tribute! He remembered that the emperor had given it to Mo Liujin's wife during a palace banquet. "When did you ride it here? Let me try it?"

Chen Shao was surprised to hear this. This horse was ridden by the general's guard. Guard? Huh? He glanced at the general and understood.

Before Mo Liujin could speak to stop him, Li Xiu got on the horse. The result was obvious, the beast got angry and threw him off.

Ling Xiao was also shocked. This beast had a really bad temper. "What a bad temper!"

Mo Liujin twitched his lips and whispered, "Otherwise, what do you think I'm hesitating about?" Then he stepped forward, raised his hand and patted the horse, and shouted, "Zhuifeng, stop!"

Zhuifeng smelled Chu Qingmeng's scent and finally calmed down. Holding the cloth bag in his hand, he reached out and stroked Zhuifeng's neck twice, and finally he calmed down his temper.

"You really have the time to name a horse." Ling Xiao complained to Mo Liujin speechlessly.

Mo Liujin climbed onto the horse and explained, "It was Qingmeng who started it. She insisted that this beast understood human nature. I haven't seen it understand human nature, but I have seen it have the same temper as Qingmeng."

Ling Xiao and his companions also mounted their horses. Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao chuckled twice, "You know what, they're quite similar. Both of you have quite bad tempers. That beautiful lady's remark about lighting a sky lantern scared me so much that I didn't dare to come to your house for several days."

“…” Mo Liujin rolled his eyes at him, and several of them rode away on horseback to patrol the camp.

Chu Qingmeng in the big tent took off her mask and felt much cooler. She opened her eyes and could see the vague figures of Feiying and Kui Wenzhong. At least she knew their location and didn't have to stay in the dark all the time. Although Quan Si didn't allow her to use her eyes like this, occasionally looking at them could make her feel better.

It was lunchtime when Mo Liujin returned. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw her sitting at her desk, folding papers. Frowning, Mo Liujin quickly took two steps forward and covered her eyes with one hand. "Didn't Quan Si tell you not to look at things like that? It hurts your eyes. Have you taken off your headband since I left?"

He took the hairband from Feiying and covered her eyes with it. "Don't look at things like this again until your eyes are completely healed."

"Yeah." Chu Qingmeng responded and then smiled, saying softly, "It's just that I'm not very comfortable in the dark all the time, so I want to see the light occasionally."

Leng Feng brought in the food. Mo Liujin just touched her hair and didn't say anything more. After putting the food away, he remembered, "The military camp is not like the mansion. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are not so exquisite. Don't be picky and just be patient for a few days."

"I'm not that picky, am I?" Chu Qingmeng was speechless for a moment. Was she that picky about food? "Don't worry."

Mo Liujin didn't believe her words, rest assured? In the mansion, she would stop eating if the food didn't suit her taste, or would only eat a few bites and then refuse to eat anymore.

Chu Qingmeng still didn't want him to feed her, but this place was definitely different from the mansion. The food was brought in under Mo Liujin's name, and there was only one pair of chopsticks. She could either pick up the food herself or Mo Liujin would feed her. At this moment, Chu Qingmeng suddenly felt that staying in the mansion was actually quite good. She wasn't that dependent on him. Mo Liujin took the chopsticks and fed her, and she just obeyed obediently.

But the food in the military camps was often greasy, because marching and fighting required physical strength, and in ancient times, it was difficult to get meat. Therefore, even vegetarian dishes were spiced with as much oil as possible, with the main goal being to make up for the lack of meat with the grease. Chu Qingmeng could only eat a few bites before she couldn't eat any more. She felt nauseous, and she lied that she was full and refused to eat any more. Mo Liujin didn't expose her, but simply told her to drink all the porridge.
