Qiao Yuan buried himself in his arms and hummed sullenly.

A powerful heartbeat rings in my ears, indicating a solid sense of security.

Qiao Yuan felt that he was being carried out of the tent, and the sound of the blade across the layer clearly penetrated into his ears.

There seemed to be a scuffle, with people constantly approaching Qi Cun, followed by the sound of swords piercing into flesh

Qiao Yuan couldn't see anything, he could only hear the rough panting above his head.

Qi Cun was holding a person, and his movements were not affected, and wherever the sword light went, he saw blood sealing his throat.

Such days are the ones he is most comfortable with.

Qi Cun became more and more excited, his eyes were flushed, and a vacuum area was formed around him.

The thick bloody aura and the cold blade of the sword were mixed in the cold wind.

Although Qiao Yuan couldn't see anything outside, listening to the voice, a stronger smell of blood came from her nose, which made her tremble.

Qi Cun hugged her tightly and gave her the last sense of security, her heart jumped suddenly, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

Qiao Yuan opened his eyes, and the simple beams came into view.

There seemed to be a quilt under her, but the hard board still burned her back.

Where is this?

She went limp, turned her head, and met the gaze of an eldest lady.

The eldest lady was pleasantly surprised, and when she saw that she was awake, she hurriedly shouted out.

"Da Zhuang, your daughter-in-law is awake."

Qiao Yuan: ???

Did she die and reincarnate? Are you married again?

Fortunately, the appearance of Qi Cun who came in told her that this was not the case.

Qi Cun was wearing a simple coarse linen robe, his eyebrows and eyes were black, and an unpretentious atmosphere came to his face.

Qiao Yuan's eyes were full of doubts, and he helped him up and fed him a sip of water.

Qi Cun's face was strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but he tried his best to endure it.

"Alas, since your daughter-in-law has it, don't rush to the road, your body is the most important, fortunately, nothing happened this time, if something really goes wrong, it's too late for you to regret it."

The eldest lady hated the young couple but not steel, and she couldn't wait to hold their ears to teach women what to do and what not to do when pregnant, and not to lose the big because of the small.

The enthusiastic lady caught the two of them chattering for a long time, and finally went out unsatisfied, leaving the room for the two of them.

Qiao Yuan's words echoed in his mind, and he touched his stomach hesitantly.

Flat, without a trace of fat.

Only then did she realize that she had been deceived and glared at the culprit.

Qi Cun couldn't help but smile: "It's just a stopgap measure, someone has already noticed us, so we have to dress up in disguise." “

He arranged the identity of a small business merchant, used to travel from south to north, passing by here, happened to find that his wife was pregnant, it was inconvenient to travel, so he stopped here to recuperate.

Qiao Yuan listened in a daze, and suddenly asked him, "Your name is Da Zhuang?" “

When she pronounced the name, she felt inexplicably unspeakable.

Qi Cun nodded solemnly.

Qiao Yuan said with difficulty: "Then what is my name?" “

Cuihua, Erya, Zhaodi and the like flashed in her mind for a moment, and her scalp was almost numb.

Fortunately, Qi Cun didn't take the opportunity to tease her, and pinched Qiao Yuan's face: "Your name is Xiaojiao." “

Isn't it just like a delicate flower, you have to take care of it carefully, you can't stand the wind and rain, and the loss of a leaf will make him feel distressed to death.

Qiao Yuan was barely satisfied with the name, thought of something, and looked at Qi Cun.

He deliberately restrained his momentum, he was tall and big, and it was reasonable to pretend to be a merchant.

But Qiao Yuan is so squeamish that she can't do it, her snow skin can be broken, her eyes are as bright as autumn water, and she is not an ordinary girl at first glance.

In this regard, Qicun also has a countermeasure.

He coughed.

"That year, when the merchant who went south and north stopped in the city, he met the poor Xiaojiao who had to sell himself to bury his father, and helped her, and buried her father with money, Xiaojiao was moved, and finally repaid herself, and since then, the beautiful Xiaojiao has become the little daughter-in-law of the rural merchant......"

What is this, I can't see that Qi Cun still has the talent to write a script.

The beauty's white and tender face was flushed, and she couldn't help but hit him.

Qi Cun smiled and wrapped her pink fist, put it to her lips and kissed it.

Qiao Yuan's memory of last night was blurry, and according to Qi Cun, they had now arrived outside Gongzhou City.

The owner of the borrowed house is a lady who has been widowed for many years, her husband died very early, and the lady has a pungent temperament, and no one dares to bully in this area.

She thought that the house was deserted, and when she heard that they were going to borrow it for a while, she agreed without saying a word, and took out the few eggs at home to make up for the "pregnant" Qiao Yuan.

Fortunately, Qi Cun paid a generous food bill, otherwise Qiao Yuan would really be embarrassed.

Even so, every time Qiao Yuan blushed and ate eggs, he always had to secretly kick Qi Cun under the table, and then his feet would be tightly clamped by those powerful legs, and he couldn't pull them back.

The glue-like relationship between the young couple seems to have livened up the houses that have been empty for many years.

The eldest lady had a smile in her eyes and pretended not to see what was going on underneath them.

The previous natural disasters still had a great impact on Gongzhou, and when Qiao Yuan went out to familiarize himself with the environment, he saw a completely different scene from Shangjing.

The houses are low and have no frills.

The people I met on the road were gray-headed, yellow-skinned, and depressed.

Gongzhou, which was not prosperous, was obviously hit hard because it experienced a natural disaster, and the disaster relief materials distributed by the imperial court were embezzled again, and the whole city was sluggish and lifeless.

Fortunately, now Li Min, the second prince of the dynasty, personally brought disaster relief materials to Gongzhou, and now the disaster situation is slowly improving.

It injected new vitality and hope into Gongzhou, and the whole city slowly recovered normally.

Qiao Yuan turned around, and from time to time he heard words praising the second prince, obviously the people were looking forward to it.

She walked on the dusty road, but she didn't know how many people's eyes she had attracted.

The beauty has delicate skin, and she is still wearing a silk undergarment, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, she wears a water-red ordinary coat.

She wore a tapered hat, and her whole body was tightly wrapped, but the fingers sticking out of her sleeves were as tender as shallots.

A tall man stood beside the beauty from beginning to end, silent, but quietly showing his presence, blocking the obscure gaze of the outside world.

In the evening, when Qiao Yuan was about to wash, he saw Qi Cun coming back with a burden from outside.

She opened it curiously and saw that it was some fragrant pancreas, balm and the like, and even the menstrual belt used by women.

Qiao Yuan likes to apply some balm to his body before going to bed, and his skin is filled with a faint fragrance.

The balm has a smooth texture and a light fragrance, and it is expensive at first glance.

Qiao Yuan raised his head slightly, a little hesitant, "Where did you get the money to buy these things, and we are in such a situation now, will this be too ostentatious and make people suspicious?" “

At the beginning, the off-the-books situation was urgent, and the two of them didn't bring much money out, so they bought some things for disguise, and the rest of the money was given to the eldest mother.

Qi Cun helped her smooth out the balm on her arm, the skin under her palm was white and greasy, and her five fingers were sunk into the soft flesh, which felt very good.
