Chapter 1198: My Wife Is a Little Fairy!
t in total, seven maids and one young boy. They're all from our village, and trustworthy."Jia Yin smiled and thanked them, then glanced at the group of women and said, “Please tell these villagers fro...It was just such a small crossbody bag, able to take out braised pork, steamed buns, buns, even congee and ice cream.
He understood all of this, but... they changed horses four times along the way, did he also take them out of his satchel!
Jia Yin saw that his mouth was open, as if he was about to speak any moment, and couldn't help but laugh.
She munched on steamed buns, taking large bites, and joking around at the same time.
"You know my biggest secret now, you have to keep it safe! Otherwise, I'll silence you!"
Mu Xu blinked a couple of times, sat down, and started eating and drinking, mumbling in response, "Do you think I'm stupid My wife is a fairy! I'm so happy I can barely contain myself. Why would I tell others Just waiting for them to come try and steal her from me!"
Jia Yin didn't expect him to say that, her face flushed red. She glared at him with annoyance, "Who said I want to marry you When we get to Quanzhou, our families will be together, and you'll have even more to prove yourself."
"I'm not afraid. Your family spoils you the most. You let me know that your biggest secret is believing in me, they definitely won't object." All of Mu Xu's intelligence and wit were used to coax his wife at this moment.
Besides, I don't have parents or relatives, so I don't have to follow any rules. At worst, I can marry into your family and become a member of the Li family. Your family wouldn't have to worry about giving away a daughter, and I guarantee you would agree to our marriage!
After that, he chuckled and picked up a jar of sour plum soup. He guzzled it down in one go, confident his wife wouldn't escape. He was absolutely delighted with himself.
Jia Yin couldn't stand to see him like this, so she grabbed a bun and stuffed it in his mouth.
After dinner, the two continued on horseback, still bound together with a cloth strip. This time it was Jia Yin's turn to doze off...
They ran until it was dark. Jia Yin wanted to switch places, but Mu Xu refused.
"This stretch of road is unfamiliar to you, and you're approaching the battlefield. It's easy to encounter scouts from the barbarians here. I'll hold on for a little longer, and we'll reach Gushan soon."
As if it were meant to be, just as his words left his lips, a horde of barbarian horsemen came riding in.
Mu Xu immediately drew his waist knife, Jia Yin taking a shield from space and protecting her back.
Mu Xu took advantage of the barbarians' slow reaction, slashing at them with several strokes. Two barbarians fell off their horses.
Huang Pia Ma stubbornly ran past, stepping on a bloody path!
The remaining barbarians roared and charged in pursuit.
Jia Yin put away her shield, and with a press of the crossbow on her arm, she launched dozens of arrows.
Two more barbarians were shot by arrows and fell off their horses!
Finally, there were only five or six left. He felt that these two people were no longer easy to bully and stopped his steps.
Mu Xu couldn't help but laugh. The two of them had never cooperated before, yet they were so in sync!
Jiayin was a little disappointed. If the barbarians caught up, she could scatter some more powder and maybe send two more to see the King of Hell!
Although XiaoXiao won a round, the two of them became even more cautious.
Having found a quiet spot, Jiayin stabled the horses, and the two of them began walking.
Jiayin has no martial arts skills, but she gets tired after just ten or eight miles of walking.
Mu Xu directly bent down, scooped her up on his back, and ran towards Gushan like the wind.
There, lights flickered like scattered stars, and a silhouette began to emerge…
On the solitary mountaintop, campfires flickered everywhere. Occasionally, a late wind would blow through, bringing with it an overwhelming stench of blood.
The lord was sitting on a large stone, polishing his battle sword. As dusk fell, the barbarians launched another attack.
Perhaps knowing that no reinforcements would arrive from the border, and with dwindling supplies of food and water on Lone Mountain, the two barbarian warriors’ attacks grew even fiercer.
The soldiers sat by the fire, helping each other bandage their wounds.
The medicine was long gone, so all we could do was tie a bandage around it.
Pain relief is out of the question, not bleeding is already good.
Were there any injuries They used knives as skewers and roasted horse meat. When it was about 60% cooked, they quickly distributed it, regardless of whether it still had blood streaks.
Li Laosì had a bloody arm, moving around and shouting.
"Dà Luó, how is your arm Has the bleeding stopped"
"Rest assured, the Four Generals. Things are going well. We won't delay tomorrow's battle against the barbarians!" The man who was called out responded loudly with a cheerful smile.
Actually, his injured arm hung by his side, any movement causing excruciating pain.
"Alright, hold on! Reinforcements will arrive at home tomorrow. Everyone, cheer up! When the time comes, we'll wipe out all those bastards down in the mountains!" Li Lao Si boosted everyone's morale, "When we return to our base, let’s tell Xianke Lai about it I'll treat you all to three days and three nights of good food and drink!"
“Haha, we'll remember that. A general can't go back on his word!” The soldiers burst into laughter, all shouting in agreement, afraid Li Lao Si would change his mind.
This commotion turned the campsite's grim silence into a lively scene.
Li Laosi said a few jokes, then sat down next to the Marquis with a thud, and only then dared his face reveal a hint of resentment.
"My lord, the wounded horses have already been eaten. To slaughter good horses now would be a loss. While grilled meat can fill our stomachs, relying only on horse blood is insufficient to quench our thirst."
The Marquis flung open his robe, tore a relatively clean undergarment from it, and quickly bound the wound on Li Lao Si’s arm. He asked,
How is the wounded brother
Li Laosi fell silent for a long while before saying, “The others with minor injuries are all holding on. The seriously wounded have used up their last bit of medicine. With this heat, they’ll definitely be burning up tonight. Tomorrow morning, who knows how many will be left alive!”
The Lord gazed at the distant night sky, his eyes cold as if about to freeze into frost.
That man was after his life, he had no complaints.
The emperor is just heartless!
But that man, in order to take his life, led these many soldiers into hardship. He cannot forgive!
"Where's Mount Haguro"
"Yèshān" Li Lao Si thought for a moment and replied, "I was just looking for herbs nearby, I guess he'll be back soon."
Li Laosi knew that the Marquis had left a backup in Xindu. This fueled his murderous intent, and he became somewhat excited, muttering to himself.
"The Marquis was right to do so. Even if he couldn't kill that man for revenge, he shouldn't let him live a peaceful life. It would be best if the Crown Prince ascended the throne as soon as possible. That child is familiar to me, he's a good one, at least a hundred times better than that ungrateful wretch."
At this moment, Yejin suddenly stumbled and ran over.
"My Lord, Fourth Master, the reinforcements have arrived! The County Princess has also come!"
The Lord and Li Lao Si both suddenly stood up, staring intently at the back of Ye Shan.
Mu Xu's clothes were ragged like a beggar, one hand holding a saber, the other leading Jia Yin, whose face was full of fatigue. The two walked out of the darkness just like that, bathed in the firelight, their bodies gleaming like golden gods descending from heaven.
"Funiu'er... Funiu'er! You really came!" Li Laosi cried out, rushing forward and hugging his daughter. Tears streamed down his face.
My best friend, whom I haven't seen in months, traveled thousands of miles to reach this dangerous place.
He was both happy and worried, not knowing what to do. Only tears could express the complexity in his heart.
Jia Yin also hugged her father with the same strength, seeing him lively and jumping around, her heart finally settled.
"Dad, I'm here, I came to save you!"
"Mmm, mmm!" Li Lao Si nodded vigorously, then felt something was amiss.
As a grown man, it's not very honorable to have his daughter come to his rescue.
Today's update is here ~~s it's in. Please go and help tidy it up.""Just so happens I'm going to the Gu family's banquet tomorrow, saving me from having to rush out early and hurry to the city."Jia Yin didn't mind. She said,...
