Chapter VI Beiguan
After eating, Yang Qice summoned Chen Yujue and instructed everyone to rest in place for an hour before setting off.
The soldiers leaned together in twos and threes, huddled around the fire and squinted lightly. Although Lin Yixiao slept all night, she didn't sleep well because of the bumps on the horse, and she was also in poor spirits at this time, and she looked very sleepy.
Yang Qice saw Lin Yixiao's tiredness, and directly reached out to hug Lin Yixiao, who was sitting on the side, into his arms, and in addition to Lin Yixiao's surprise, Yang Qice's emotionless words immediately came into Lin Yixiao's ears
"Sleep."
Although Lin Yixiao fell asleep in Yang Qice's arms on the horse, it was different from on the horse now. Lin Yixiao's blush that had finally dissipated resurfaced, and reason told her that she was already married, but then she thought of her fiancΓ© who left her at the time of life and death, and Yang Qice, who had been revealing her tender side to herself all the time despite her cold expression and words in the past two days, had no intention of refusing and fell asleep.
If he is in life and death, will Yang Qice make the same choice as Xiang Jiayan?
.......
When Lin Yixiao woke up, everyone had already packed up the burned firewood on the ground and piled it up, it would be the end of the day, the sky was bright, and the sun was gently shining on people's bodies, which was very comfortable.
"Gone." Yang Qice gently pushed Lin Yixiao up from his body.
Lin Yixiao opened her eyes dimly, looking at Yang Qice's cold eyes in a daze, although she was not soft, she no longer had the previous sense of oppression, perhaps because she knew that Yang Qice had no ill will towards her.
Lin Yixiao nodded lightly, and as soon as she got up, she didn't seem to be fully awake, and she stumbled into Yang Qice's arms.
Lin Yixiao's face was flushed for a moment, and she quickly got up from Yang Qice's arms.
Lin Yixiao finally came to her senses at this moment, and the embarrassment on her face made her dare not look at Yang Qice anymore, and said softly
"We... Let's go? β
The two came to the horse, Yang Qice got on the horse first, and then bent down to grab Lin Yixiao's waist, this time Lin Yixiao did not resist, and naturally borrowed strength on him, was dragged by him to the horse, and sat firmly in front of him. But despite this, she still sat a little forward, trying to keep her distance from Yang Qice so as not to nest in his arms again.
......
The vast earth, an endless grassland in front of it, the bleak long wind continues to caress this lonely city with a long history of war, and the surrounding hills are covered with white snow and frost, adding a desolate meaning to this lonely city, which is Beiguan.
Lin Yixiao and the soldiers traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Beiguan six days later.
It wasn't until after Beiguan that Lin Yixiao learned that Yang Qice was the protector of Jinting and the general guarding the northeast.
The sergeants on the city wall had already seen Yang Qice and his party,
When Yang Qice got closer and closer, the sergeants found that Yang Qice was riding with a woman, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
After entering the military camp in the city, Yang Qice grabbed the horse, turned over, stretched out his hand to Lin Yixiao, and held her waist to take her off the horse.
After getting along for a few days, Lin Yixiao found that although Yang Qice looked as cold as an iceberg, she always revealed a gentleness like spring water, she didn't know if Yang Qice was like this to others, but when she was with Yang Qice, her heart was very warm.
Lin Yixiao didn't know at this time that she had relied on Yang Qice in her heart.
In the barracks, the soldiers who watched all this were dumbfounded, and the soldiers who followed Yang Qice were no longer surprised by this situation.
This is not to blame them, not to mention that family members are not allowed in the army, Yang Duhu himself has been crowned for four years, and he has never been married, and there has never even been such a rumor. Therefore, when they saw Yang Qice bring Lin Yixiao back and ride a horse together, they would be so surprised.
Yang Qice took Lin Yixiao to the military tent prepared for himself, and there was nothing else except a bed, a table, a chair, and a screen.
"You live here."
Lin Yixiao raised his head slightly, and saw Yang Qice's frosty cheeks, he looked down at himself, those eyes were still calm and unwavering.
"Okay, but ......"
Lin Yixiao wanted to say that the conditions on the road were bad, and the two of them slept together, but now that they have arrived at the barracks, there are so many soldiers watching, is it not good that they still live in one tent.
"You can rest first."
Yang Qice didn't give Lin Yixiao a chance to finish speaking, and turned around and withdrew from the military tent.
Come to think of it, Yang Qice has just arrived at the Beiguan military camp, and there must be a lot of important things to deal with, and if he bothers about his residence, it must not be good.
Lin Yixiao sat in front of the bed, wanting to wait quietly until Yang Qice came back, but because of boredom and because of the almost sleepless rush for seven days, she was overdrawn. After a pillar of incense, Lin Yixiao finally couldn't get tired, and lay down gently on the side of the bed, using her hands as a pillow, and fell asleep.
When Yang Qice came back from handling military affairs, he saw Lin Yixiao lying on her side on the side of the bed, her feet on the ground, sleeping with her hands as a pillow, her long hair as soft as black satin fell on her body and on the bed, her little face was finally a little rosy because of the warmth, she closed her eyes lightly, and her eyebrows seemed to be more gentle.
Yang Qice didn't wake her up, put the food box in his hand on the table, and came to Lin Yixiao's side. Yang Qice squatted down to take off his shoes, and very gently lifted Lin Yixiao's jade feet to the bed, perhaps feeling Yang Qice's touch, Lin Yixiao's body trembled slightly, Yang Qice looked at it at the time, only to see Lin Yixiao's brows frowning slightly, and then fell asleep again.
Seeing that Lin Yixiao was not awake, Yang Qice gently covered Lin Yixiao's body with the quilt cover on the side, and then pulled the screen open, separating the bed from the outside environment.
......
The night was deep, Lin Yixiao woke up, she rubbed her eyes, and found that she didn't know when she took off her shoes and lay on the bed.
Lin Yixiao got up slowly, saw the screen in front of the bed, and suddenly recalled that when she fell asleep, she seemed to have been touched by someone's ankle, could it be true? Lin Yixiao hurriedly got up and put on her shoes, bypassed the screen, and saw Yang Qice sitting alone on the chair as if she was thinking about something, and when she noticed Lin Yixiao's gaze, Yang Qice looked back slightly and said, "Come and eat." β
"Ahh Hmm..."
Could it be Yang Qice....... As soon as Lin Yixiao thought of this, her cheeks were as red as flames in an instant.
Yang Qice looked at Lin Yixiao, whose cheeks were red, and was a little puzzled, then got up and came to Lin Yixiao's side and put his hand on her forehead.
"Are you sick? How can your forehead be so hot? β
Lin Yixiao was already shocked by Yang Qice's actions, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Just as Yang Qice took a step towards Lin Yixiao, Lin Yixiao came back to her senses, her eyes dodged, she didn't dare to look directly at Yang Qice, and hurriedly lowered her head and said
"No... It's okay..."
After the words fell, Lin Yixiao hurriedly came to the table and sat down.
.......
After eating, Lin Yixiao thought that there was only one bed in the tent, and it seemed that it was getting late at night, could it be that Yang Qice wanted to sleep with him? When she was thinking about whether she should find a corner to nest for the night, Yang Qice's cold voice came into her ears: "You sleep on the bed." β
"But..."
Lin Yixiao thought that she had rested enough, and Yang Qice was tired from running around all day, so she should sleep in bed and have a good rest.
But Yang Qice didn't let him finish speaking, and looked at Lin Yixiao with cold eyes: "Don't worry, I won't sleep with you." β
After that, Yang Qice took care of himself and put the bowls into the food box and went out of the military tent.
Did he misunderstand......
When the curtain was opened, Lin Yixiao saw the night clearly, knowing that the night had passed the third watch, but the meal was still hot.......
