"Why don't you ride with me?"

Huo Jing looked at the steep mountain road in front of him, and said to Lu Weimang behind him with some anxiety.

After five days of rapid marching, Lu Weimang finally adapted to the marching rhythm of Huo Jing's black armor guards, but as soon as he entered Shu County, he began to worry again.

The mountain road in front of you can only accommodate one horse, and if a horse stumbles, it may fall off the cliff with a person and a horse.

Huo Jing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Weimang behind him, for the first time since he left Beijing, he said words to help Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang took a deep breath, "It's okay, I can do it." ”

Lu Weimang told Huo Jing that he was also cheering himself up.

Huo Jing glanced at Lu Weimang deeply, turned his head, lightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and began to ride alone, walking forward one after another.

Lu Weimang's heart was in his throat, but fortunately, the run-in in the past five days had made Lu Weimang accustomed to believing in the horses under his seat, so he followed Huo Jing and walked towards the mountains step by step.

When he really arrived at the Shu Road Trade Road, Lu Weimang knew how difficult this road was. This trade route was stepped on step by step, and there are severed tree roots on the side of the road, just to widen the road. The road is difficult to navigate, the air is humid and hot in the dense forest, and the neat marching speed of the previous few days has slowed down sharply after entering the dense forest.

Surrounded by hot and humid air all the time, it makes people sweat like rain, lose strength, and suffer from heat stroke, which is all light. The unknown, ubiquitous mosquitoes make people even more uncomfortable.

After walking in the dense forest for three days, today Lu Weimang felt that her patience seemed to have reached the limit, and she found Huo Jing for the first time when she was resting, "How long will it take for us to get out of this dense forest?" ”

Huo Jing smiled, "I've been wondering when you can't help but come over and inquire." ”

Huo Jing's sudden smiling face looked in Lu Weimang's eyes, which suddenly made her a little stunned.

Traveling all the way, the original noble son in Beijing was also covered with wind and frost on his face at this time, and he was no longer the pampered and imposing noble son in Beijing. Lu Weimang prefers to watch Huo Jing like this, which makes her feel particularly charming and has no sense of distance.

Sensing his thoughts, Lu Weimang lowered his head a little uncomfortably and coughed lightly.

Sure enough, she is a person who looks at her appearance. Even when it was so uncomfortable, when I saw "beauty", my mood instantly improved.

"According to the pace of marching in the past few days, there will be two days at most, and you can get out of this dense forest and enter the relatively gentle plain area, and when you reach the plain, you will not be far from Qionglai."

Qionglai is their first destination.

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." "It's good to have hope.

"But," Huo Jing said next, "it's a bit unusual, it's a bit muggy today. Although it is said that it is normal to be hot in the dense forest, but now that it is so hot, I am afraid that it is about to rain. ”

Lu Weimang heard Huo Jing's speculation, and didn't know whether to be worried or happy for a while, "It's raining, I've had enough of this ghost weather." Lu Weimang said hatefully.

The corners of Huo Jing's mouth hooked, "Along the way, it's the first time I've heard you complain, it seems that you really don't adapt to this sultry weather." ”

Lu Weimang raised his head and looked at Huo Jing with some surprise, "This kind of ghost weather, no one likes it, right?" ”

Huo Jing likes this feeling of chatting with Lu Weimang. She usually doesn't have much to say to herself, except for some responses from Bi, she always avoids herself, intentionally or unintentionally. It seems that this weather really makes her a little irritable, so it affects her consistent appearance.

"It seems that I was born a northerner, and the dry and pleasant weather is my favorite. Is General Huo also a northerner? ”

Huo Jing shook his head, "My Majesty's hometown and I are at the junction of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and I rarely saw snow when I was a child. ”

Lu Weimang nodded, "No wonder you acted quickly and effectively against bandits, you should have dealt with this aspect when you were a child." ”

"Well, my father and His Majesty were harassed by bandits and couldn't survive before they joined the army, and at first they were just to protect their families and defend their hometown."

"No wonder you are close to Your Majesty, unlike a monarch."

"Your Majesty is a brother to my father, and he married my mother and aunt together, and Your Majesty and aunt treat me more like a parent."

"That's good." Lu Weimang was a little envious of this feeling. She doesn't want to maintain her feelings. Only natural family such as her parents and younger brother can make her open her heart, and the rest, she is stingy to open her heart and accept others. "I'm a lonely person, except for my family, I'm afraid I can't experience this kind of feeling."

Huo Jing listened to Lu Weimang's words as if he was emotional, and looked at her, "Feelings have always been two-way. It's not that you're withdrawn, it's that you haven't met worthy people and feelings, whether it's family or anything else. ”

Lu Weimang looked up at Huo Jing, only to feel that there seemed to be thousands of stars in his eyes at this time.

Lin Chen and Ding Yi had already quietly hid aside, looking at the two of them who were talking, "It's been more than ten days since I came out, and the two of them just said a few words." The young master's gentle appearance is not at all resolute on the battlefield. This little lady Lu is slow to heat, will it be the temperament of the little lady Lu in the future? ”

Ding Yi shook his head, "As far as your reckless temperament is concerned, don't worry about the young master, the young master has his own opinions." ”

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Ding Yi, who was there with the old god, "I see that you have been unhappy for a long time, you always put on a shelf and say something in the clouds, do you want to taste my fist?" ”

"I'm afraid you won't make it?"

Before the two of them could open their positions, a burst of red light flashed in the sky, and then a muffled thunder resounded through the heavens and the earth, pouring heavy rain, and suddenly came.

Everyone hurriedly pulled the frightened horses tightly, and it was easy to calm them down, but their bodies were almost soaked, Lu Weimang was impatient to wear a robe, and only followed Huo Jing to find a place to shelter from the rain.

In the rainstorm, the figure could not be seen clearly from a distance of two meters, and when Lu Weimang approached with the horse, Huo Jing found that Lu Weimang was not wearing a robe, and he couldn't help but put the coat on his body for her, and Lu Weimang blocked it, "I like to get drenched in the rain on weekdays, and besides, my body is soaked, it's okay." ”

Huo Jing didn't listen to Lu Weimang's words strongly, and only tied the strap of the coat firmly on her chest, "The rainstorm will continue to take away the heat of the body, you only get drenched in the rain for a short time on weekdays, and now in the wild, I don't know when I can find a place to shelter from the rain, it's better to be cautious and put on the coat honestly, you know?" ”

Saying that, two hands reached out to Lu Weimang's waist, took the belt around the waist of the robe, lowered his head, hunched his waist, and tied the belt firmly.

The torrential rain blocked her vision, but Lu Weimang couldn't even breathe, she wasn't used to someone being so close to her.

The moment Huo Jing got up, Lu Weimang exhaled, and then took his coat and handed it to Huo Jing, "It's a unified system, you should be able to wear it." ”

Huo Jing didn't answer, just looked at Lu Weimang, under the urgency of the rainstorm, Lu Weimang couldn't care about anything else, and directly took it in his hand and shook it away, Huo Jing also bent over cooperatively, so that Lu Weimang could smoothly put on her clothes, and then she tied the strap at her collarbone. The belt at the waist Lu Weimang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and wrapped his hands around Huo Jing's waist to reach the belt of the cloth. After tying the robe, Lu Weimang pretended to be calm, and Huo Jing also turned around as usual.

At this time, a scout came to report that there was a rock wall not far away, suitable for sheltering from the rain.

Everyone led their horses in an orderly manner. It's just a sloping rock wall that can accommodate a person standing and sheltering from the rain. Everyone lined up to take shelter from the rain under the rock wall. Lu Weimang followed Huo Jing to stand together, because the location of the rock wall was limited, so everyone was crowded tightly one by one, hiding from the rain and huddling together to keep warm.

The torrential rain took away the heat from the body, and everyone felt a little cold at this time.

Huo Jing pressed Lu Weimang to his side with one arm, "It's not a joke to get away from hypothermia in the wild. ”

Lu Weimang was a little uncomfortable, Huo Jing's touch was different from Qin Xuan's trouble. His proximity made Lu Weimang a little scared, and the heat hit her, making her unconsciously want to dodge.

Fortunately, the rainstorm came and went quickly, and when the rainstorm stopped, the scouts came to report that there was some rain in the grass, and it was best to walk at this time, and when the ground was semi-wet, it would be muddy and difficult to walk.

Huo Jing led everyone to continue to move forward, and Lu Weimang also followed behind him with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Fortunately, everyone was lucky, and they came across a small village not far away.

Without saying a word, the black-armored guard asked the people of the village to agree to give up the house for them to keep warm.

Lu Weimang felt a little embarrassed just now, and after freshening up, he hurriedly fell asleep.

She has always been like this, and her first instinct in the face of strange things that she fears is to avoid them.

Over there, Lin Chen gave the young master a hand and took out the important items he was carrying to check them.

"It's a bit like the time we met Little Lady Lu in the mountains that year."

Lin Chen recalled.

For those of them who have been fighting outside all year round, this kind of rainstorm weather has long been regarded as normal, so it is still as joking as usual at this time.

Huo Jing looked at Ding Yi on the side, "Weimang also has some things to carry with her, is she sorting things out at this time?" ”

Ding Yi shook his head, "My subordinate passed by Lu Xiaoniang's room just now, and she went to bed early. ”

Huo Jing's face sank, what a smart person he was, he noticed Lu Weimang's resistance and retreat when he was hiding from the rain just now, and then when the rain stopped moving, he asked her to pull some of herself, and she also refused. At this time, he went to bed early uncharacteristically, and Huo Jing knew that she was keeping her distance from him.

The chatter in the forest seems to be still in front of me, and the sound of breathing when tying each other's coats seems to be still in my ears.

The more cautious he treated her, the more capricious Lu Weimang became. It is only when she is a little drunk, or in her eyes, that the situation is urgent, that she opens up for a moment, and then closes it tightly.

She seems to be carefully holding the distance from herself on weekdays, but he Huo Jing has no feelings, and being pulled by her like this makes him a little suspicious that he is wrong to follow her like this.
