summer thunderstorm

It only takes an hour to travel by carriage. Xia Qiuyu and his group didn't see the city gate until the sun was setting. The two soldiers guarding the gate had good eyesight and didn't embarrass them at all. They passed the barrier and entered the gate. Realizing that this remote town is as prosperous as a big city, Kong You quickly found them a small inn for them to rest.

The room was arranged by Kong You and Tang Juan for everyone, and Xia Qiuyu took the three of them to have dinner under the inn.Xia Qiuyu scolded the three little ghosts along the way, and told them to reflect on their shortcomings. The three of them were quite peaceful, and there was no gossip on the way. Now that they sat down, the atmosphere was just right. I have never seen it before. Nie Jingming, who was in such a prosperous scene, finally opened his mouth.

"Sir, it's so lively here!"

Xia Qiuyu only kept him bored all the way, and responded with a smile: "This is the border city between Beichen and Donghuang. From now on, walking from the east gate of the city is the border of Donghuang Kingdom."

"My Beichen Kingdom and the Eastern Emperor have been in friendly relations for a hundred years. There are frequent business roads and official roads. This is one of the main roads of business roads. There are more businessmen coming and going. Naturally, this Xuchang Town has become Xuchang City." He Xiangchen followed Xia Qiuyu's words. continue to explain.

"Huh?" After hearing the explanation, Nie Jingming looked at He Xiangchen even more curiously, "It's all right for Mr. to know this, how do you know it too? Mr. He clearly said that you have never traveled far!"

"Hehe~ Why don't you refuse to ask you to read more books on weekdays? There are all these books, and your brother Jinglei must also know about it." He Xiangchen answered his words with a smile, and led the conversation to Luo Jinglei.

Before Luo Jinglei could speak, Nie Jingming retorted and blamed He Xiangchen: "It's clear that you guys like military geography, and I don't like it. If you compare it to others, I won't lose!"

"Yes, yes, the little monkey is the smartest~" Nie Jingming's words are true, he has a specialization in art, when He Shuyun and Xia Qiuyu intended to cultivate his political talents, the military advisers naturally lag behind them, but now He Xiangchen takes the lead Saying it in such a tone is naturally meant to be more teasing, which made Nie Jingming explode in an instant.

"Hmph, you're just a little monkey, don't call me that, if you call me again, I'll let brother Jinglei beat you up!"

Everyone was amused when they heard this, and even Luo Jinglei looked at him helplessly.

"Several young masters..." When everyone was talking, Hong Xiu, who had already returned to the guest room to rest, came downstairs with her maid Xiaoyi.

Xia Qiuyu, as the person in charge of the four, should have been the one to respond, but Luo Jinglei refused, and in the name of exercising, he asked He Xiangchen to join the conversation all the way. He Xiangchen was forced by Luo Jinglei, so he had no choice but to accept it. He took all the girl's words, and it is naturally the same now.

"The girl with the red sleeves."

Hongxiu saw that only He Xiangchen got up to respond to him among the four of them. He didn't show any anger. Instead, his face was shy, his eyes were full of autumn water, his body was full of happiness, and even his voice became delicate, "I'm disturbing the gentlemen's elegant mood."

He Xiangchen had a smile on his face, like a young master, an elegant scholar, but there was no smile in his eyes, obviously he didn't like to see these two beauties, "Why do you say elegant, I wonder if the girl has something to say?"

Hongxiu nodded slightly, showing reluctance, but still said firmly: "This time, I would like to thank a few young masters for saving me, and I have troubled you to take care of me all the way. Hongxiu is very grateful. Now that I have arrived in Xuchang Town, my relatives have been doing business here all year round. , so I want to find them."

"It's a good thing for a girl to find a relative to take care of her. After all, all the people here are men, and if they don't take good care of them, they still look to Haihan. The girl has decided when to go? How about letting Tang Juan give the girl a ride?" He Xiangchen showed joy. , as if really happy for him.

"Thank you so much, my lord. Hongxiu doesn't dare to bother everyone, and I'm leaving today." The reluctance in Hongxiu's eyes was obvious, but it's a pity that He Xiangchen in front of him is not a sympathetic person.

"Okay," at the right time, Tang Juan and Kong You went downstairs, and He Xiangchen hurriedly ordered, "Tang Juan, give the girl a ride."

"Yes, please, girl." Don Juan respectfully asked from the side with a serious face.

Seeing that He Xiangchen didn't understand, Hongxiu hesitated, but still gritted his teeth, as if angry, and walked out of the inn without looking back.

"Ai~ Luohua is intentional, flowing water is merciless~" Seeing people walking away, Nie Jingming raised his teacup in a pretentious manner, sighed like mourning, imitated the Hongxiu's appearance just now, and made everyone laugh again.

"Don't make trouble, little monkey. You also need to look at flowers. That's a poppy." He Xiangchen snatched the cup from his hand with a smile on his face. of tea.

Nie Jingming took the tea, drank it and muttered, "Poppy poppies are poisonous, poison you to death, bastard!" He Xiangchen just pretended not to hear.

That party, Xia Qiuyu and Luo Jinglei, were just watching a show. The two picked a lot of food for each other, and there was no sense of disobedience. Everyone was used to it, and they didn't think it was a problem. Qiu Yu has almost eaten too much.

"Master, I have someone prepare hot water. After a short rest, you can go to take a bath." Seeing that he finished his meal, Luo Jinglei also put down his chopsticks and said.

Xia Qiuyu has also gotten used to Luo Jinglei's thoughtfulness recently, and she is very relieved, and she doesn't want to go against his kindness, "It's okay, it's getting late, if you go back to your room to rest after eating, I won't restrain you tomorrow, Go to the street for a good stroll, and we'll be on our way early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Everyone agreed, quickly settled the meals in their hands, and took them back to the house in twos.

After a sleepless night, Xia Qiuyu woke up and found that she was still held in Luo Jinglei's arms. She was a little helpless. It was obvious that the two of them hadn't cuddled together before going to bed. It's just that this happened many times, and Xia Qiuyu no longer cared about whether it was right or not. It's true that I don't sleep well, anyway, Lei Er is no outsider.

"Master..." Luo Jinglei seemed to be woken up by Xia Qiuyu, and he hugged Xia Qiuyu tighter as if acting like a baby, and rubbed his head against his neck.

The hot breath sprinkled on the neck, Xia Qiuyu froze, but immediately relaxed, and helplessly touched the big head on the neck, with a smile on the corner of the mouth, eyes full of connivance, and said softly: "It's still early, Let's go back to sleep, Ray."

"Master is with you." The voice came from the close skin, muffled, but it unexpectedly made Xia Qiuyu feel soft-hearted, as if she couldn't love her enough.

"it is good."

In fact, Luo Jinglei woke up earlier than Xia Qiuyu, but he likes to act like a baby with Xia Qiuyu, even if it doesn't fit his age or personality, but his acting like a baby can get Xia Qiuyu's strange tenderness, which makes him I think it's worth it.

Probably because Luo Jinglei's embrace was too warm, Xia Qiuyu was also used to not putting up any defenses, and fell asleep without knowing it, and woke up again, it was already high in the sun, Kong You was waiting outside, Nie Jingming took He Xiangchen to town Go up to see and see, followed by Don Juan.

"Is Lei'er going to go shopping in the afternoon?" After breakfast, the two of them didn't want to eat lunch.

Luo Jinglei shook his head and said: "Sleep with master in the afternoon, and the sun will be full in the afternoon, so I won't go out."

Xia Qiuyu seemed to have known that he would say that, so she didn't say much, and asked Luo Jinglei to go back and read together.Until the evening, the two of them were finally willing to come back from the outside after dinner, but they didn't buy much, they were nothing more than pastries and snacks, which made people sigh that they were children.

In the early morning of the second day, several people drove the carriage to the Eastern Empire, and when they passed the vast land at the border between the two countries, Xia Qiuyu raised the curtain of the carriage.

"Lei Er, this is the border between the two countries."

Luo Jinglei knew that he hadn't finished speaking, so he just listened.

"The two countries have had a good relationship for a century. I don't want to expand the territory, but I want prosperity and peace..."

Outside the car window, I accidentally overtook a few passers-by, and occasionally brushed shoulders with a few passers-by on fast horses, at the border where the two countries meet, in this vast land of Liaoyuan.

However, Luo Jinglei just glanced calmly, then put his eyes on Xia Qiuyu's face, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Master's wish, Lei'er will definitely guard this land."

Xia Qiuyu shook her head and said, "It's not my wish..." I just hope you can live up to everyone's expectations, and your mother and concubine's wish...

Luo Jinglei didn't care about Xia Qiuyu's unfinished words, as long as this person asked, he would definitely guard the country, thinking that it would be good to hire him at that time.
