It was already autumn, and Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei, at the kind invitation of Acha, took advantage of the harsh winter to go to the territory of the Nasebo tribe.

The two traveled secretly, brought not many people, and traveled lightly.

The further north you go, the cooler it gets, and you soon reach the steppe area. After a day's journey, everyone set up tents for the night, Lu Wei was outside drinking with the people of the Sebo tribe over the bonfire, Zhang Yuqing's hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

After nightfall, the crowd dispersed, leaving only the crackling sound of the burning branches of the fire.

Lu Wei glanced at the tent and showed a rare hesitant look.

The people of the Nasebo tribe only set up a tent for him and Zhang Yuqing.

Lu Wei got up silently and got into the tent.

Zhang Yuqing covered himself with a bearskin jacket, shrunk himself into a ball, and breathed into the palm of his hand from time to time.

Lu Wei hurriedly walked over and asked, "Cold?" ”

Zhang Yuqing sighed, "It's only been a few months, how can it be cold like this?" ”

Lu Wei remembered that when they spent their first winter in Baochuan, he warmed the quilt for Zhang Yuqing, and whispered, "Why don't I come in and give you warmth?" ”

Zhang Yuqing turned his head and looked at him with wide eyes.

Lu Wei's heart softened and said, "What are you thinking!" ”

Zhang Yuqing watched him lie down beside him, hugged her from behind, and pressed his hot chest against her back.

Lu Wei just drank the wine, and there was a clear aroma of wine lingering between his breaths.

"Would you like to have some wine too?" Lu Wei said in Zhang Yuqing's ear, "If you drink it, it won't be cold." ”

Zhang Yuqing was a little moved, and the taste of cold hands and feet was so cold that it was uncomfortable.

Lu Wei got up, took his water bladder for wine, pulled out the stopper, and handed it to Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing touched the water bladder and shook her head again and again, "It's too cold, I don't drink it." ”

Lu Wei couldn't help laughing when she looked at her delicate appearance shrunk in the bear skin and pouting, the wine he had drunk burned in his chest like a fire, he picked up the water bladder and raised his neck to take a big sip, and suddenly picked up Zhang Yuqing and kissed him on the mouth.

Zhang Yuqing was startled, and was forced to swallow a sip of wine, her throat was hot, and the moment the liquor entered her throat, the whole person seemed to be about to burn, and her frozen pale face gushed bright red.

Lu Wei quickly held Zhang Yuqing's hand that was about to hit him angrily, the lips of the two people were full of wine residues, and the tent was filled with the aroma of wine.

Zhang Yuqing's dark eyes were full of anger, and she didn't want to make too much noise for the people in the tent next to her to hear, so she lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing!" ”

"You don't like the wine is cold, I'll warm it for you." Lu Wei held her hand and looked at her with a smile on his face.

Zhang Yuqing's cheeks were red, and her eyes were dark and lush, as if she was soaked in a layer of sparkling water, even if she was angry and glared at people, in Lu Wei's eyes, she was also the best in the world, and she was fascinated just by looking at it.

"Is there such a warm wine as you?" Zhang Yuqing was annoyed, which is warm wine, it is clearly taking the opportunity to play hooligans!

Lu Wei saw that she was really angry, lowered her posture and said: "I just want you to drink some wine, warm and warm, don't be angry, it's me who is wrong." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yuqing was still glaring at him, Lu Wei was amused, and said in her ear: "You see this tent is so close, others can hear the slightest disturbance...... Don't be angry! ”

Zhang Yuqing turned over and lay down angrily, turning her back to Lu Wei angrily.

She said that she couldn't give Lu Wei a good face at all, it was really bright if she gave a little sunshine!

Lu Wei lay down against Zhang Yuqing with a smile, let Zhang Yuqing pilllow on his arm, and hugged her from behind, the two of them were very close, and their breath was wrapped around each other with the fragrance of wine.

He thought that he had a fair and honest reason, and he wanted to warm the quilt for Zhang Yuqing, not out of the inferior nature of men, and wanted to take advantage.

But then again, it is natural for him to sleep with his daughter-in-law in his arms, why does he have a sense of shame of being cheeky and taking advantage of women?

With the human-shaped stove and the blessing of alcohol, Zhang Yuqing quickly fell asleep and made an even breathing sound.

"Zhang Yuqing." Lu Wei murmured in her ear, loving and hating, "You really have no conscience!" ”

At dawn the next day, the people got up and hurried.

Zhang Yuqing observed that most of the herdsmen he met along the way were in tattered clothes, with weather-beaten hardships on their faces, and the cattle and sheep were also skinny.

The people of Daxia, who stepped into the grassland for the first time, were deeply shocked in their hearts.

They knew since they were young that Daxia would pay a huge tribute to the Hu people every year with huge amounts of gold and silver cloth, and subconsciously the Hu people should all be landlords and old wealth, and they could live a comfortable life of lying down, drinking wine and eating meat by plundering the wealth of the Daxia people.

Fang Mo asked everyone's confusion.

A clansman beside Acha smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed, "Those who can live a good life are all nobles in the royal court, and some military families can also share the good things of the Great Xia people, but only a small number of people account for the wealth of the Great Xia people, and most of the people on the grassland live such a life, it would be good to be able to maintain their family from starving to death!" ”

It is also risky for the Hu people to come to loot, after all, it is an act of putting their heads on the waistband of their trousers, but for many herders on the grassland, they really can't live without looting.

"It's been a good year." "Last year's snowstorm was particularly heavy, and countless people and livestock froze to death. "This year, by working for Zhang Yuqing, they have accumulated a lot of food, salt, and silver, and there should be no more clansmen who freeze to death and starve to death in the cold winter.

Fang Mo asked, "Your emperor didn't order disaster relief?" ”

Acha sneered disdainfully, "He doesn't care about the life or death of ordinary people!" ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been desperate to work for Zhang Yuqing! Proper traitor!

Zhang Yuqing fed chicken soup to his subordinates earnestly, "Work hard, the days will get sweeter and sweeter!" ”

Atcha solemnly clenched his fists and performed the etiquette of a Daxia person, saying that he would lead the whole clan to work for the boss to earn money in the future.

When they came back from the grassland and were about to reach the border, Zhang Yuqing and his party were discovered by a small group of Hu cavalry.

After everyone annihilated the cavalry squad that wanted to encircle them, they quickly ran back to Baochuan.

When the royal court received the news, someone suspected of being the commander of Liangzhou, Lu Wei and his wife, appeared in the grassland but failed to intercept them, and everyone had already run into Baochuan City.

The former third prince, Langji, who had been canonized as the crown prince, beat his chest regretfully. Previously, he infiltrated Baochuan to spy on the military, and was able to escape by kidnapping Shen Menglong.

However, this experience also made him understand that if Lu Wei and his wife are not eliminated, the Hu people will never be able to break through Baochuan City!

Now that Great Xia is in a civil war, the imperial army and the Jiangxia army are fighting hotly, and it is really a once-in-a-lifetime good time. The close Daxia is like a piece of good fat, but it is blocked by the iron wall of Lu Wei and his wife, and the grassland royal court only covets it.

Not long after Zhang Yuqing came back, Wang Chunniang suddenly launched.

Wang Chunniang's belly was already very big, and she insisted on coming to the president's office every day to calculate every account clearly, but on this day she suddenly had a sharp pain in her stomach and began to contract.

Everyone didn't have time to send her home, so they directly arranged a temporary delivery room in the backyard of the president's office.

The midwife knew that Wang Chunniang was a noble status and was a close friend of Mrs. Domination, and she was afraid that there would be a mistake, so she said that this was not enough time, and adults and children were afraid that they would be in danger.

He Qi was about to go crazy, ignoring everyone's obstruction, he went directly into the delivery room, holding Wang Chunniang's hand to cheer her up.

Zhang Yuqing was also anxious and worried, and followed into the delivery room.

It's almost winter, and the weather is cold, but Wang Chunniang's face is full of cold sweat, and she bites the sweat towel and shiveres in pain.

When Lu Wei heard about this, he ordered all the doctors in the city who were good at gynecology and pediatrics to come over and stay outside the president's office, and he took Fang Qin into the president's office.

Fortunately, Wang Chunniang worked hard every day in the past, and her body was strong, and everyone didn't wait long, a loud baby cry pierced the night sky, and the people who were guarding outside were relieved, and after a while, another cry sounded.

Liu Quanniang shouted happily: "This is the birth of twins!" What a blessing! ”

The midwife came out of the house and happily reported the good news to everyone waiting in the hospital, "Wang Niangzi gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus!" All three are safe! ”

Lu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Chunniang is Zhang Yuqing's most important friend, and has accompanied her through the most difficult life.

He turned his head and wanted to leave, but found that Fang Qin was gone.

Lu Wei thought it was convenient for Fang Qin to go out, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see Fang Qin come out.

"Can you see Fang Qin?" Lu Wei saw Du Jingyi coming in in a hurry, and asked casually.

Du Jingyi's smile was sluggish, and she looked around left and right, "Master Fang is gone?" I'll look for it! ”

After that, without waiting for Lu Wei's orders, Du Jingyi hurriedly rushed out and called Liu Quan and the others together.

Lu Wei suppressed the suspicion in his heart, saw Zhang Yuqing coming out of the house, and asked, "How is Mrs. Wang?" ”

Zhang Yuqing wiped his face and said, "It's good, I'm tired and asleep, He Qi is guarding it!" There are also doctors and midwives, which should be fine. ”

"I'm going back to the barracks to do some errands, so I'll take you home first." Lu Wei said.

In fact, going back to the barracks from here and going home is not a smooth way at all, but Lu Wei wants to send it, and he just wants to spend more alone time with Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing didn't say anything, nodded, and smiled: "That's bothering you." ”

In the night, Zhang Yuqing's smile seemed to reject people thousands of miles away, Lu Wei was lost in his heart, and said: "You and I husband and wife, what's the trouble or not!" ”

The two walked to the gate, Lu Wei got into the carriage first, and when he turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Yuqing, Du Jingyi ran over and stopped Zhang Yuqing, "Madam!" ”

Zhang Yuqing turned around when she heard this, saw Du Jingyi standing a few steps away from the carriage with a smile, and walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Du Jingyi's face remained unchanged with a smile, but the tone in her mouth was very nervous, and she leaned into Zhang Yuqing's ear and said: "Just now, Fang Qin took advantage of the chaos when Wang Niangzi was giving birth, and secretly sneaked into the warehouse and took away an account book!" ”
