Chapter 52: A Border Town
Mo Xingchen's inhibition was collapsing little by little, and his eyes were jumping with a blazing*, except for Qin Xianmei, who was using his charm to him, it was really the first time that he was out of control because of a woman.
He half-sat up, staring sideways at the sleeping sweet promise, the angelic sleeping face, which made people unable to take their eyes off. The butterfly-like eyelashes were occasionally stirred by the breeze, and they moved lightly twice.
Frightened, Mo Xingchen immediately lay down and continued to pretend to be asleep, but after a while, a certain sleeping beauty didn't move at all, and a certain master was about to move again, sat up again, and looked at the sleeping little woman.
Mo Xingchen leaned down, his thin lips lightly imprinted on Xu Nuo'er's smooth forehead, but it was only a superficial taste, he knew that she was tired and should let her sleep well.
Mo Xingchen was satisfied to lie down again, closed his eyes slightly, and flashed in his mind from acquaintance to acquaintance with Xu Yu'er, to the present fragments, the little woman with an angelic face and a little devil personality appeared vividly in his mind.
The night breeze was blowing slowly, and the tent was rustled, like a unique serenade of midnight, urging the people of the night to go to bed early.
I don't know how long it took, Mo Xingchen finally fell asleep. In his dream, he is no longer alone, he has a beautiful wife by his side, and the two are like a fairy couple.
The morning sun is slightly dewed, the valley is ushered in the first rays of sunshine, and the early birds tear open their throats and sing, as if to wake up the late people.
Xu Nuo'er stretched and woke up satisfied. "Ahh
"What the hell are you in the morning?" Mo Xingchen, who had just returned from inspecting the situation outside, opened the curtain and saw a certain woman screaming there in surprise.
"I, why am I in your bed?" Xu Yu'er glanced at Mo Xingchen, who was tall and majestic in armor, and asked one after another.
"Hehe, you are really ridiculous, I still want to ask you, you sleepwalk in the middle of the night, why did you swim to my bed?" Mo Xingchen had a smile in his eyes, but he pretended to be serious on his face.
"Sleepwalking, sleepwalking, you said I sleepwalked last night?" Xu Yu'er couldn't help repeating these two words in her heart, she hadn't heard Xiaocui say that she had such a problem before.
"Why didn't I know that I still had a problem with sleepwalking, you, didn't you frame me again?" Xu Yu'er looked at Mo Xingchen with a pair of big obsidian eyes, trying to find an answer from his face. But someone's unfazed ice sculpture face really can't see a flaw, and there is no trace at all.
"Hurry up, have breakfast, you have to march in a while, you have to live like this, you can't delay the trip because you are alone. Mo Xingchen suddenly became serious and pressed her with business.
Xu Nuo'er consciously took care of the loss, so he could only be indignant in his heart, pouted and cleaned up without arrogance, and then followed a certain master out of the camp.
As soon as they came out, they were greeted with a surprised look, they were all good brothers who followed Mo Xingchen to birth and death, but they didn't know when Mo Xingchen would have such a jade-like son by his side.
Xu Nuo'er looked back and forth, maybe a little weak-hearted, so he lowered his head directly. This time the scrutinizing eyes swept over more unscrupulously.
Xu Yu'er turned her eyes on Mo Xingchen for help, but people turned a blind eye and enjoyed this kind of ambiguity with broken sleeves.
Xu Nuo'er's pretty face was full of blush, where had she ever seen such a scene!
"Marshal, this little brother is really a person who is carved in powder and jade, our brother is really eye-opening, if this big man looks like this, those big girls will not all have to die of shame!" Zhao Ming, the pioneer of the front road, is a rough man in the army, and he has always been a meat and vegetarian taboo when joking.
"But no, like this little brother who looks better than Pan An, it's the first time I've seen it, I know it's a big man, I almost lost my soul. Another man in the army did not forget to add fuel and vinegar.
Xu Yue'er was made even the roots of her ears red by their words and words, and her head was even lowered. Why is she also a girl, it is embarrassing enough to be mixed in this man's pile, and it is really embarrassing for her that they are so open-mouthed.
"Go, eat, and continue to march in a while, look at you idle, such a little brother is also something you can covet, he is our fourth brother." King Rui saw that the hero's opportunity to save the beauty had come, and he hurriedly pushed away a few people who were joking.
Xu Nuo'er hurriedly cast a grateful glance at King Rui, this man who is usually very arrogant, he really knows how to relieve her at the critical moment, and he is much kinder than the generalissimo who watched the excitement from the sidelines.
"Fourth brother, don't go over to eat, I'll call you for the food. I saw Fan Xingwen walking over with a smile with chopsticks.
Now the soldiers are even more confused, what is the situation, the origin of this is really a mystery, not only with the boss in the same account, the two lieutenants are also dedicated to the courtesy, it is really unbelievable.
Xu Nuo'er embarrassedly took the food handed over by Fan Xingwen, the food was warm, Xu Nuo'er held the food in her hand, her eyes suddenly became hot, and she was almost moved to tears.
Although there are embarrassments and discomforts here, the people here are hundreds of times better than the people in the palace, and they know how to make waves in the backyard when they have nothing to do.
Although Mo Xingchen was angry that the two brothers had stolen the limelight from him, for the sake of their care of Xu Yue'er, he was not ready to pursue it for the time being.
Soon, Mo Xingchen and his two elder brothers came to the camp tent with food, and used it with Xu Nuo'er. The four of them are really harmonious, except for sleeping, they are really inseparable. Xu Nuo'er became more and more dependent on these two brothers who took good care of her.
After breakfast, Mo Xingchen gave an order, and the army began to continue to march.
They had a long way to go this time, so they marched much faster than usual, and Xu Yu'er, who was sitting on horseback, was torn up and down, and his stomach was turned upside down, and he almost poured out the little thing he had just eaten.
"What, it's uncomfortable, it's so troublesome to carry you!" was obviously a word of concern, but when it came out of someone's mouth, it immediately changed its taste.
Xu Nuo'er glared at him aggrievedly, and pouted: "Trouble still doesn't want to come, I also want to know if you took the wrong medicine and why you decided to bring me here." ”
After a long time, Xu Yu'er also figured out Mo Xingchen's temper, although he had a bad temper, he was still very indulgent to her, so his speech became more and more casual and unruly. Mo Xingchen was not only not annoyed, but felt very enjoyable.
"Pay attention to your attitude, you are so bold to talk to this king!" Mo Xingchen pretended to be fierce.
Xu Yu'er pursed her lips and said unconvinced: "Hmph, that's what it was, and I'm not allowed to speak." ”
Two people and two horses walk side by side, along the way, you say a word, and time flies. When the two stopped bickering, their destination arrived.
In front of me is the gate of the border city of Sucheng, and I saw the border general Qin Xiangnan and the soldiers lining up to greet him.
Mo Xingchen led the brothers slowly towards the gate of Sucheng. At a glance, this team is well-trained, the formation is neat, and the soldiers are all in high spirits, and they have already overwhelmed the original troops on the border in terms of momentum.
"Subordinate Qin Xiangnan greets King Fu in person!" the border general, who was also dressed in military uniform, respectfully greeted him.
"Lord Qin is polite, we just came here to stay here for a few days and experience the life of the border pass. Mo Xingchen smiled faintly and said easily.
"Fuwang Chitose here, please!" Qin Xiangnan made a gesture of invitation.
Mo Xingchen waved his hand and drove into the border city with his own men and horses.
Xu Nuo'er followed closely beside Mo Xingchen, her eyes kept looking at this border town, where the people were dressed plainly, the people were simple, the people were simple, the streets were lined with shops, and the dazzling array of special goods was dizzying.
The people of the border city looked at the large army advancing by the imperial court, and their eyes were full of hope. When Xu Yu'er looked at the longing in the eyes of the people, her heart ached. The perennial war has made this small town, which is not too wealthy, even worse.
Mo Xingchen led the three of them to follow Qin to the south towards the royal courtyard of the border city, and almost every time they came to the border city, they almost lived in their own courtyard.
Soon the royal annex appeared in front of him, and the blue brick and red tile walls could not block the pleasing spring color of the first courtyard.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Qin Xiangnan retreated, leaving only Mo Xingchen and a few personal guards to push the door in.
Xu Yue'er felt a little strange, this far away from home did not bring Rufeng, but she did not know kung fu, it was really incomprehensible.
The courtyard in front of you can be said to be the most spectacular building in the whole border city, the glazed tiles shine with a dazzling golden light under the illumination of the setting sun, the pavilions and pavilions are like a small palace, and the lush vegetation in the courtyard shows that the owner of the courtyard is a master who understands life and loves life.
A few people went around a garden before they saw the main courtyard, there is no need to ask if it must be Mo Xingchen's residence, just look at the carved wooden door.
I saw that the carved wooden door in front of me was the four gentlemen of Meilan, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and even the window lattices and window frames were hollow wood carvings.
"Xingchen, is the operation going normally tonight?" King Rui looked around, and there was no one around, so he asked in a low voice.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, they should do something tonight, and they should be careful to sleep a lot. Mo Xingchen pondered for a moment and said lightly.
Xu Nuo'er on the side felt that the three of them were weird, and she couldn't understand a word of what they said.
"You and your siblings won't stay in the main courtyard tonight, the side hall in the side courtyard is a good choice. Fan Xingwen glanced at the courtyard and said as if he was unintentional.
"Well, I also think Brother Fan's words are reasonable, Nuo'er, what do you think?" Mo Xingchen nodded in agreement, and instead turned the topic to Xu Nuo'er who was in the clouds on the side.
"Huh? Actually, it's the same everywhere you live. Xu Yu'er didn't think about it, and replied casually.
"That is, as long as Xingchen is there, my younger siblings will be happy wherever they are. King Rui also joked.
"Move all the king's things to the main courtyard, and the king and the princess will stay here tonight. Mo Xingchen immediately ordered his subordinates.
Xu Yu'er was even more confused by the second monk, just now he said that he didn't live here, and he decided to stay here in the blink of an eye? This man turned his face faster than turning a book.
Although Xu Nuo'er was full of doubts, she was too talkative, she knew that the less she knew about some things, the better, and the more she knew, the more dangerous she was.
She pushed the door open and entered, worthy of the royal palace, with all the furnishings and clean care.
Inadvertently, Xu Yue'er caught a glimpse of the temporary dresser in front of the window that did not match the color of the whole room, and her heart suddenly became hot, and she suddenly felt as if she had a sense of home.
