Chapter 47: Warmth
In the upper reaches of the Yang River, about 500 miles away from the Horqin grassland forces, there is a depression, because it is flooded by the Liuhe, Yanghe and Liaohe tributaries all the year round, and a swamp with a radius of nearly 100 miles is formed here......
After traveling more than 700 miles during the day, Wang Qi decided to rest here for a night before setting off, and probably tomorrow evening, he would be able to arrive at the Horqin Left Banner, which is where the royal court is located.
Hai Lanzhu and Wang Qi stood together, looking at the low grass on the swamp in the distance that was slowly blown by the north wind, and the sunset hanging into the sky in the distance.
The breeze blew the tips of her hair, and Hai Lanzhu murmured in a low voice: "When we arrive at the royal court tomorrow, we will be separated, thank you for this journey." ”
"You and I take what we need, it doesn't matter what we thank for," Wang Qi said, turned his head to look at Hai Lanzhu beside him, sniffed his nose, and felt a little strange, how could there always be a faint fragrance lingering on this woman's body, these days I stayed by Wang Qi's side every day, and I didn't see her wipe her body...... Is there really someone who brings their own body fragrance?
Hai Lanzhu didn't notice Wang Qi's movements, and was still immersed in his own context: "Jianzhou and Daming both want to pull Horqin into their camp, Horqin King Khan wants to expand his power and let Horqin overpower Lin Dan Khan's Chahar department, and Ama thinks every day to let the people in the clan climb higher and master more people, tents, cattle and sheep, and everyone is competing for their own interests...... No one ever cared what I wanted. ”
Hearing Hai Lanzhu's self-pitying words, Wang Qi's lips and teeth moved lightly, and he only spit out one word for a long time: "Heh." ”
"You!" Hai Lanzhu's cheeks were slightly red, obviously annoyed by Wang Qi's indifferent attitude, and said angrily: "Of course I understand my mission, but don't women be allowed to break free from the cage of fate?" ”
"Of course," Wang Qi shrugged his shoulders, his tone was still so indifferent: "But other people also have their own missions, the world is complicated, full of contradictions and connections, and a person's will is often too small, so try your best to do your own thing, and then listen to the destiny of heaven." ”
"You Wang Qi believe in the Mandate of Heaven?" Hai Lanzhu turned around, faced Wang Qi, and asked.
Looking at the floating swamp in the distance, Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time, to be honest, he couldn't answer this question, because he didn't know how he came to this world, after all, he had been a human for two lives.
"Destiny?" Wang Qi's lips moved slightly, and two words burst out.
Hai Lanzhu stared at Wang Qi's side face, wanting to understand this man for the first time, waiting for his next step.
At this moment, Qin Erbao came over at an inopportune time and came to report the situation to Wang Qi.
"My lord, starting today, there are gradually more and more horses."
Seeing this, Hai Lanzhu sighed silently, took two steps back, and turned her head to watch the sunset alone.
"Don't let them get within three miles of the camp, let the others go with them," Wang Qi didn't plan to hide his whereabouts, and he couldn't hide them in the vast grassland, as long as he didn't disturb himself.
"Understood," Qin Erbao lowered his head.
After a while, Qin Erbao did not retreat, Wang Qi heard the movement, turned his head and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Raising his eyes and looking at Hai Lanzhu on the side, Qin Erbao moved his lips, as if he had something to say.
Hai Lanzhu on the side naturally heard the conversation between the two, and when she saw this, she muttered, and then turned around and left!
"Say it," Wang Qi nodded when he saw Hai Lanzhu walking away.
"Miss Hailanzhu is a Mongolian Horqin nobleman," Qin Erbao pondered for a long time before he spit out half a sentence.
"I know," Wang Qi nodded, motioning for him to continue.
"Three years later, you still have to marry Princess Ningde......" Qin Erbao bowed and said in a low voice.
As soon as Qin Erbao's words fell, Wang Qi's eyes narrowed, silently staring at the son of the Wang family.
Grunt, Qin Erbao's Adam's apple rolled, the cold sweat on his forehead was already densely rising, and he could feel Wang Qi's scrutinizing gaze.
"My lord, it's me who is too talkative!" With a plop, Qin Erbao fell to his knees, barely able to withstand Wang Qi's almost substantial gaze.
Wang Qi turned around, looked at Hai Lanzhu in the distance, and then looked at the vast grassland in the distance: "Get up, I know what to do." ”
"Little retirement!" Qin Erbao raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, then bowed down and retreated.
Looking at the beautiful sunset in the distance, Wang Qi did not move for a long time.
Qin Erbao's worries are not unreasonable, Wang Qi and Princess Ningde are married by the emperor, unless Wang Qi dies or commits a major crime of rebellion, they will definitely get married after three years. And now Wang Qi and the nobleman Gege of Horqin in Mongolia are so close, if someone with a heart spreads to the capital and to the ears of Donglin, I don't know what trouble will happen.
In fact, once in this life, the private feelings of children are already dispensable in Wang Qi's eyes, after all, in the absurd years of his previous life, Wang Qi has tasted the lingering and bitterness of love.
So in this life, whether it is Princess Ningde or Hai Lanzhu, in Wang Qi's eyes, they are just means to achieve the goal.
Why care what others think?
"Heh," after a long time, Wang Qi still burst out with a word.
That night, the bonfire was blazing in the middle of the camp, and today the camp men specially roasted the whole grassland sheep, a whole ten, enough for the whole mission to enjoy to the fullest.
Wang Qi sat by the bonfire, watching everyone singing and laughing in the venue, enjoying a rare time to relax.
Tomorrow is the end of the day, and tonight is the last time to relax.
"Why don't you go get some food? Go, sit on the side a little," Hai Lanzhu held a leg of mutton without any image, and sat down close to Wang Qi's body.
"Is it delicious?" Wang Qi tilted his head and asked.
Hai Lanzhu was accustomed to Wang Qi's answers, and muttered while gnawing on the leg of mutton: "The mutton is good, and the roast is also good, but there is no wine!" ”
"Tomorrow, when you arrive at your Horqin Royal Court, you can enjoy the wine," Wang Qi looked ahead, and his tone couldn't hear too much emotion.
"Will we see each other again?" Hai Lanzhu put down the leg of mutton in her hand, her mouth was oily, and she looked at Wang Qi.
"The world is big, you are a Horqin Gege, don't enjoy wealth, what do you want me to do?" Wang Qi smiled and shook his head.
"You're right," Hai Lanzhu nodded, laughing at herself, "I should have enjoyed the wealth of the world." ”
As she spoke, Hai Lanzhu gently leaned her head on Wang Qi's shoulder, and through the black cloud brocade robe, Wang Qi's body temperature made Hai Lanzhu feel extremely warm, and she murmured softly like a cat.
Wang Qi looked at the bonfire in the distance and did not speak again.
