The north is cold, and the conditions are difficult, except for the temperature over there in the summer, which is not so high, Lu Li can barely find time to take a bath, the rest of the time can only be scrubbed with a towel, and he is often injured, and sometimes it is not suitable for bathing, so Lu Li has not taken a hot bath for a long time.

"Madam, the hot water has already been boiled, shall I ask Xiao Zhang to come in and serve the general in the bath?" Pearl came to report.

Xiao Man nodded, and immediately went to the house to call Lu Li, who was taking off his armor.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Man was stunned by the scene in front of him before he could speak.

I saw that Lu Li's back was full of wounds of all sizes, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and wounds left by various weapons of different sizes were distributed on Lu Li's back, as well as shoulder blades and arms, wherever I could see it, there were wounds everywhere.

These wounds are of different ages, some have become pale flesh-colored scars, while others have just scabbed, and some places are even wrapped in gauze, and blood stains can be seen leaking out.

Xiao Manden choked up, she walked gently towards Lu Li, trembling and raising her arms, wanting to reach out to touch the wounds on the other party's body.

She wanted to ask Lu Li when these wounds were injured, who injured them, whether the wounds still hurt, and whether the doctor needed to take a look at them again.

"Xiaoman?" Lu Li noticed the movement and turned around, thinking that the little guy who was waiting came in, but he didn't want to stand behind him It was Xiao Man. "Why are you here? Go and rest, I'm very dirty now, I'll look for you when I'm done taking a shower, okay? ”

Listening to the other party's coaxing child's tone, Xiaoman's tears couldn't hold back anymore, surging out, she bit her lower lip, looked at the wounds on Lu Li's chest and lower abdomen with teary eyes, and cried silently.

"Okay, stop crying." Seeing this, Lu Li hurriedly hugged the person into his arms, gently touched Xiaoman's head, and comforted softly: "These injuries are fine, don't worry, my body is very strong, this little injury is not in the way." ”

Xiaoman's crying body shook and trembled, and all the snot and tears accidentally rubbed against Lu Li's chest, she got up to wipe Lu Li, and sobbed and complained: "You don't tell me anything, so many wounds, this... It hurt so much at the time, you didn't say anything in your letter. ”

Lu Li couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, "I'm not afraid that you will be sad, okay, don't cry." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over to help Xiaoman wipe away his tears a little, touched his stomach gently, and said with a smile: "If you continue to cry like this, when our child is born, we will definitely laugh at you for being a little crying bag." ”

"I'm not." Xiaoman finally stopped crying, but his eyes became more and more red, and his nose was also red, which looked quite pitiful.

At this time, the voice of the servant came from the door of the bedroom, "General, the hot water is poured, you can go to the bath." ”

Lu Li hurriedly responded: "Got it!" ”

After speaking, he rubbed Xiaoman's increasingly rounded face, and said softly: "I'll go to the bath first, let's talk about something later, okay?" ”

Xiao Man bit his lip and nodded, reluctantly watching Lu Li leave.

The armor and robe that Lu Li took off were placed on the ground very casually, Xiao Man glanced at it, looked at the blood stains on the armor that had dried, and couldn't bear to cry again. She knew that the front line was difficult, but knowing and seeing were two different things after all.

Men have always loved black robes, probably because of this, there are blood stains, and it is not easy for people to see.

Today, Xiaoman finally understands the reason why Lu Li loves black clothes.

Because there are still wounds on his body, it is very inconvenient for Lu Li to take a bath, Xiao Man waited in the bedroom for half an hour, Lu Li came in from the outside, he was wearing a new middle coat, his hair was scattered, and his thin face was covered by hair, making him look thinner.

Black is black, but Lu Li's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and being stared at by such a pair of black eyes, Xiao Man blushed inexplicably.

She had thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to say to Lu Li, but looking at the other party's tired appearance, Xiao Man let go of the bed with interest, "Lu Li, you rest first, and I will call you when the time comes, I will definitely not let you miss the time." ”

"Aren't you resting?" Lu Li walked over and helped Xiao Man to sit back on the bed, "Look at the black green under your eyes, you must have not slept last night, right?" ”

Where is it that I didn't sleep well, it was clear that I thought that you were coming back, and I couldn't sleep at all.

As he spoke, Lu Li firmly held the other party's small hands, and then leaned towards Xiao Man's side.

Sitting so close, the aura on the other party's body surrounded Xiao Man domineeringly, she felt this long-lost familiar atmosphere, and her cheeks involuntarily turned a little redder, becoming more and more hot.

Seeing this, Lu Li knew that the other party was shy, but he pretended not to know, and deliberately asked Xiaoman. "Why is your face so red, is it because the charcoal fire in this house is too hot? Or are you wearing too thick? ”

"I... I ...... "Little Manchu is speechless, I don't know what to say."

Looking at the other party's shy appearance, Lu Li was suddenly in a good mood, he intended to tease Xiaoman a few more words, but because the time was not early, he had to go to the banquet in the evening, so he could only give up.

He patted the quilt beside him, "You definitely didn't sleep well last night, now it's better to accompany me to make up for sleep, as for the banquet, naturally someone will call us, don't worry." ”

Xiao Man wanted to argue something when he heard this, but before she could speak, Lu Li had already lay in, staring at her with bright eyes, just waiting for her to go to bed too. Seeing this, Xiaoman had no choice but to lie down obediently.

The two of them said something else, but Xiao Man didn't sleep last night after all, Lu Li was tired again, and the two quickly fell asleep.

In the evening, without waiting for someone to call, Lu Li woke up by himself, and he looked at Xiao Man, who was still sleeping next to him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Lu Li got up cautiously, covered Xiaoman's quilt, and then got out of bed lightly.

Even though Lu Li's movement was small, Xiao Man on the bed couldn't help but be woken up by the strange movement around her, she squinted her eyes half-asleep and muttered in a daze: "Lu Li? You, how did you get back? ”

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but sneer, he reached out and scraped Xiaoman's nose, "Silly girl, I just came back today, have you forgotten?" ”

"Oh." Xiao Man rolled over in a daze and fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Lu Li curled the corners of his lips, he was going to be a mother, and he was still so cute. Thinking of this,; Lu Li couldn't help but think about it from a distance, if Xiaoman and the child had a dispute in the future, then who should he help?

Just as he was thinking, the person on the bed suddenly got up again.

"Xiaoman, what are you doing here?"

"Naturally, it's to help you change your clothes."

Xiao Man, who was just confused, had already woken up, she easily put on her coat, and then got out of bed, shook off the clothes she had prepared a long time ago, and made a gesture to help Lu Li put them on.

Lu Li couldn't cry or laugh, he stretched out his hand, ready to take the clothes and put them on himself, but Xiaoman didn't want to help him put them on. Helpless, Lu Li had no choice but to compromise.

Looking at Xiao Man, who was still lying on the bed and sleeping, seriously helping him dress, a warm current surged in Lu Xuan. Being able to marry a wife like Xiaoman is the blessing of his life, and he can return safely from the battlefield, in addition to the belief of protecting his family and defending the country, but also because he promised Xiaoman to return safely.

Looking at the woman's serious appearance, Lu Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

After carefully buttoning the jade pendant for Lu Li, Xiao Man nodded with satisfaction and stepped back, quietly looking at the man in front of him.

The sword eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns, the high nose bridge, and the lips with a faint smile, although Lu Li's complexion was a little dark after returning from the battlefield, but because of the still bright eyes, the whole person looked more and more energetic.

The crescent-colored robe is specially custom-made, so the elastic fits very well, and the black hair is crowned with a fine jade.

"Alright, don't be busy. If I don't come back in the evening, you should rest early. Lu Li grabbed Xiao Man's hand, leaned over and asked softly.

Xiao Manying smiled and nodded in response.

Walking out of the Lu Mansion, Wei Xiuyuan happened to also come from the Wei Mansion, the two smiled tacitly, and galloped directly towards the palace gate on horseback.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the two of them flew and dismounted together, and then followed the eunuch who led the way into Qinghua Palace.

At this time, it was still early, the emperor and Wan Qichen had not yet arrived, and there were only a few scattered generals on the table, all of whom were soldiers who went to the north this time.

Lu Li said hello one by one, and then returned to his position with Wei Xiuyuan.

"I can't see that you are so popular in the army." Wei Xiuyuan laughed: "You ice bump, I thought that no one dared to approach you." ”

Lu Li chuckled lightly and didn't speak.

However, in the time of half a cup of tea, the guests of the banquet arrived one after another, and after a while, the emperor and Wan Qichen also arrived.

Everyone bowed and saluted, and Wan Qichen ordered people to bring up the tribute, and stated that as a vassal state of the Donglan Kingdom, he would never invade the border in the next ten years, and would pay tribute to the Donglan Kingdom every year.

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and accepted the annual tribute with a smile, and said: "If the king has a heart, I will also promise in front of all the ministers that in the next ten years, I will never do anything that violates the peace between the two countries." ”

"The emperor cares about the people's livelihood and is the first compassionate person in the world, and this king is ashamed of himself." Wan Qichen was busy in return.

Listening to the scene of the two of you coming and going, Wei Xiuyuan approached Lu Li, lowered his voice and teased: "This King Wan Qi is quite interesting, I thought he was a reckless man, but I didn't expect him to be quite good at talking." ”

Lu Li tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "If you had fought with him, you would never say this." ”

Reckless? Can talk? Or the insidious and cunning that everyone thinks, this is just Wan Qianchen pretending, what kind of person the real Wan Qianchen is, he can't see through it, and no one present can see through it.
