The caravan team dragging the goods was long, and the two carriages walked at the front of the team, the more north they went, the more desolate they became, Huo Ling's original bright mood saw that the devastation in the north was getting heavier and heavier, this was the northern border of the Yan Kingdom, the border land harassed by the Huns, the crops were sparse and sparsely grown in the ground, and the desolation was dejected, even if the time had entered the summer, there was still a desolate piece of life in front of him.

Huo Xun was very familiar with this land, he rode a horse and walked in front, he had fought here, and he had long been used to it.

"Brother Duan is going to take a detour to Longyan County? It's a riot-ridden place! ”

Huo Xun tilted his head and said to Duan Chun.

"Yes, we are going to pass through Longyan County, but we are not going to enter the desert from Longyan."

Duan Chun said.

"Oh? There are Yan garrisons outside Longyan, and it will be much safer to enter the desert from here. ”

Huo Xun was puzzled, he had been fighting in the north for many years, and he knew that going directly into the desert from Longyan was undoubtedly the best and safest route, and many caravans had to take this route to the Western Regions.

"Hehe, does the second prince know about Huangyuan County?"

Duan Chun smiled, glanced at Huo Xun and said.

"Fengyuan County?"

Huo Xun thought for a moment, "The county at the junction of Qin and Yan? ”

"That's right, as the second prince said, the route to the Western Regions of the Great Desert, Longyan County is of course the best choice, but from Longyan customs, the customs duties are very heavy, and going out of the city will give some benefits to the soldiers defending the city, for businessmen, it is definitely not the best choice. And Fengyuan County is at the intersection of the two countries, but also the place of territorial disputes between the two countries, but also by the Xiongnu invasion of wars, Yan is unwilling to manage, Qin has no interest, over the years, it has become a free place without a distinction between countries, no tariffs, no garrisons, although there is more danger, but it is worth saving the money of tariffs and bribes. ”

Huo Xun smiled and was silent, he looked in the direction of Longyan County.

The northern territory is vast and sparsely populated, the sky is getting dark, and there is still a long distance from the next city, and it is impossible to continue the journey, so Duan Chun ordered to go down and camp on the spot.

The road was calm, Huo Ling's original cheerful mood for the trip gradually fell silent, she has been looking forward to what may happen to Yu Jue along the way, but except for a kiss that day, it seems that the two have nothing to do with each other every day, they are together every day, but they rarely talk except for saying hello.

Duan Jingke was like a bird that couldn't be idle, directing the servants of the Duan family to pack up their things and light a bonfire.

"Come here, Ling'er!"

Duan Jingke said to Huo Ling, who was still sitting sullenly on the edge of the carriage not far away, "Although it's already summer, it's still very cold at night in this wilderness. It's warmer to sit next to a campfire! ”

Huo Ling nodded, walked over, and sat next to Duan Jingke, Duan Chun and Huo Xun were sitting opposite her, and after a while, Yu Jue also walked over, he walked straight to Huo Ling, and sat beside her.

I didn't expect Yu Jue to sit here, Huo Ling subconsciously flashed to the side.

Seeing Huo Ling's movements, Yu Jue smiled and didn't speak.

Huo Xun added firewood to the bonfire, "That's right! ”

He looked at Huo Ling.

"Didn't you say you also wanted to taste the game we ate on the march! I'll get you something to eat. ”

"Huh?"

Huo Ling looked at him, and Huo Xun had already gotten up and walked into the woods behind.

Duan Jingke saw that Huo Xun had gone away, and was still hesitating, he looked at Duan Chun, Duan Chun didn't react, she made up her mind to get up from the ground in a hurry and chase in the direction Huo Xun left.

"Hey, you wait for me, I'll go too!"

Next to the bonfire, there were only three people, Yu Jue, Huo Ling, and Duan Chun.

"The princess looks sullen today."

Duan Chun said to Huo Ling with a smile, and Yu Jue also looked at her.

"Well, maybe I'm a little tired."

Huo Ling replied to him, burying his head in his elbow socket, avoiding Yu Jue's gaze.

"The princess has already made a marriage, can you promise a marriage contract?"

Duan Chun said this time when he looked at Yu Jue.

Yu Jue turned his head to meet Duan Chun's gaze, and he smiled.

"Not ...... yet"

Hearing Yu Jue's words, Huo Ling looked up at Yu Jue, not yet?

yes, what is between them, nothing after all, and ...... There can't be anything, isn't it?

Who will my father marry him to?

No matter who it is, it can't be Yujue, right?

In a dark forest, only the moonlight penetrated through the gaps, looking at the faint light and shadow, Duan Jingke walked around, stepping on the sound of the dead leaves on the ground creaking, the cries of unknown insects in the forest, and the rustling of birds across the forest made her extremely frightened.

"Huo Xun! Huo Xun! Where are you? ”

She shouted as she walked, and even her voice trembled, "Where are you Huo Xun, Huo Xun!" ”

"Ah——————!h

Suddenly two writhing furry things seemed to cross the back of her neck, and she turned sharply, her hands dancing wildly, "Don't touch me with anything!" Don't touch me!! ”

"Hahaha-ha!!"

It turned out that Huo Xun was grabbing two rabbits, "Look at your timid appearance!" Hahaha, you are still arrogant, look where you have the appearance of everyone's ladies! ”

"Ahh

Duan Jingke threw herself into Huo Xun's arms and cried loudly, and the whole forest was filled with her howling voice.

"Hey, hey! Rabbit! My rabbit! ”

When Duan Jingke threw himself into Huo Xun's arms, he was caught off guard and let go of the rabbit, and the two rabbits ran away, and suddenly disappeared.

"Ahh ————”

Duan Jingke was still crying for his life, and Huo Xun didn't know what to do.

"You bullied me like this, I'm going to sue my eldest brother."

Crying and crying, Duan Jingke let go of Huo Xun, looked at him, the moonlight sprinkled reflected the little tears on her face, looking pitiful, Huo Xun was a little distracted.

"Hey! I'll talk to you! ”

Seeing that Huo Xun didn't react, Duan Jingke said loudly again, still gasping.

"Hey, hey, hey! Who are you and I? Always call me casually! ”

Huo Xun came back to his senses, he actually felt that the picture of her sobbing in the moonlight just now was pitiful?

He's crazy to think that.

"You go, don't let me see you again, you go!"

Duan Jingke stepped forward and pushed him, using brute strength, constantly pushing and shoving.

"I'm leaving? That's what you said! ”

After Huo Xun finished speaking, he disappeared after a few steps.

Duan Jingke reacted, and it was dark again, "Hmph, hum, woo————"

She couldn't stop crying again, "Huo Xun, um-you come back, don't leave me here alone, I'm afraid, ah————"

Crying and crying, she heard movement above, she immediately stopped crying, and looked up cautiously, on the branch, Huo Xun was sitting on it, looking at her funny.

Duan Jingke was really angry, sniffling, and walked forward without saying a word, Huo Xun hurriedly came down and followed her.

"Hey, you-"

"Don't talk to me!"

Huo Xun was obedient, there was no sound, he nodded, and after a while, he pulled Duan Jingke's sleeve and walked forward, Duan Jingke struggled for a while, but failed to break away, but did not struggle, her hand held Huo Xun's wrist upward, and she didn't let go.

The two walked out of the woods with such awkward movements.
