Apart from camping at night, most of the rest of the time had to be spent on horseback.
Fortunately, it's just autumn now. It's most comfortable and pleasant. Looking at the broad and beautiful scenery, there are no high-rise buildings and jade platforms, only the layers of forest are dyed, which makes people abandon the secular troubles and just want to gallop.
It's a pity that they are not qualified to ride horses. They have no happiness and can only carry their bags on foot. Although Xue tingji also practices martial arts, he has never worn such rough shoes and socks and traveled so far. In less than half a day, his legs and feet are heavy.
Seeing that he couldn't take a step, Pei Li secretly came forward and asked the eldest lady to have a rest by passing water to her. Pei Ming didn't look back. He deliberately dallied for a while before he said he was tired.
Although he knew that in order to avoid suspicion, he shouldn't be looked at too much, Xue tingji was very disappointed. He just sat down regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not. He had been blistered by straw sandals in half a day.
At this moment, Perry had not come back, and no one could help him. Just as he was distressed, a few pawns came up.
"Oh, look, you are not bitter. Ha ha, why did you join the army?"
Xue tingji didn't want to pay any attention to them. He kneaded his sore legs. The pawns changed their eyes and squatted down with a smile. One of them had a bad tongue, "Oh, it's blistering, isn't it painful?" Then he reached out and tried to poke his blisters.
How dare these people touch him! Xue tingji pushed the man away.
That person was annoyed also came to temper, "you are very angry, I'm afraid it's not the downcast young master of that family?"? I tell you, when you come to the army, it's all the same. Don't put on airs! "
When was the sixth prince so despised? Xue tingji's brow was frowning, and his solemn dignity made several people dare not be presumptuous any more.
At this time, Pei Li came back. Seeing this situation, he was afraid that something might happen. He helped Xue ting up, and the posture of maintenance was obvious.
These minions knew that Pei Li was a relative of general Pei, and they didn't dare to offend him, so they didn't look for Xue tingji's bad luck. Xue tingji didn't loosen his brow and laughed at himself.
"I didn't expect you to protect me now."
Pei Li didn't dare to ask for credit in front of him. Taking advantage of no one nearby, he whispered: "you are kind to me. I should repay you." Seeing the blisters on his feet, he took out a box of ointment from his bag and gave it to him.
This was bought for him by the first lady before he went out, but he used it. Please make do with it.
Xue tingji was so depressed that he couldn't be picky. After smearing the ointment, Peili gave him a few silk handkerchiefs, and the pain was less through the shoelaces.
Pei Ming must have prepared it for him. Xue Ting rubbed it with a silk handkerchief. Instead of using it to pad his shoes, he put it in his arms.
It happened that this scene was seen by Pei Ming.
Although she was always cold, during the rest, her eyes were always wandering among the soldiers, seemingly inadvertently, but Yu Guang always ignored Xue tingji.
She saw what happened just now and didn't intend to stop it. Pei Changyuan also witnessed it. She came over and asked if she was distressed.
Without hesitation, she hummed coldly, "it's him who wants to follow. Shouldn't he suffer?"
That's true. Pei Changyuan doesn't retort. How about a bet? How many days can your highness hold out?
Bet on bet. Pei Ming asserts that he can last three days at most Or five days, no more than ten days anyway. This can amuse Pei long-term, laugh chest is shaking.
"Why don't you say that he may come to the end? It's only ten days. If he survives, you'll lose. Then you'll make a meal to reward the whole army. "
Pei Ming should come down, but she doesn't have enough confidence. She will test him with the threshold of ten days. If he gives up, he won't be nostalgic from now on.
But if he endures that day Are you going to forgive him?
After the rest, the army had to go on the road again. Pei Changyuan deliberately rode slowly, so that his sixth highness could work less hard. Instead, Pei Ming urged his father to hurry up. "You usually guard the border, shouldn't you be so lax?"
Pei Changyuan is so tongue tied that mingniang's ruthless manner is like her own mother. It's not easy to provoke.
It's more than that. In the evening when she was camping, she called to Peili. It's nothing important. She just chatted with her. Otherwise, how could she give those minions the opportunity to bully Xue Ting.
Pei Li didn't dare to play around with Xue ting. He took Xue ting to cook dinner, which made it hard for others to pick up a job.
But without his help, Xue tingji couldn't cook at all. He was at a loss holding white rice. Others couldn't help laughing and mocking him for being an incompetent young master.
"You think you can make a living as a pawn? I'm afraid he's not on the battlefield. He's the first to die. "
"That's impossible. Just like him, the Xiongnu soldiers must have escaped faster than anyone else. Oh, maybe they're so scared that they wet their pants and even soften their legs. Ha ha ha."
Listening to these sour words, Xue Ting clenched his teeth and tried to wash rice and add water like others, but he couldn't make a fire. Instead, he coughed because of the smoke.
Others not only didn't help him, but also laughed beside him. Xue Ting wiped his dirty face and took a few deep breaths. When he got up, he ran into a man.His action is very fierce, and he knocked Pei ming down. Fortunately, Pei Li was so quick that she didn't bump into the boiling pot behind her.
Xue tingji held back his throat and bowed his head to give a salute, "Miss, forgive me."
Pei Ming's lips were tight. He didn't look at him much. He just said, "you have too much firewood."
Without waiting for Xue ting to help, Pei Li scrambles for help. Soon the fire starts, but Pei Ming is not in a hurry to leave, and starts to pace.
"The army doesn't raise useless people. No matter how you used to be, it's the same here. You can't bear the hardship."
She wanted Xue tingji to retreat, so as not to block her heart when she saw him. After she turned and left, she heard him say in a loud voice, "I can do it!"
Pei Ming was in a trance, as if he hadn't heard his high tone for a long time.
Since they broke up, even if they saw her again, Xue tingji had always been a good gesture, even the atmosphere did not dare, but let her inexplicably angry.
It was not until this cry that she took a deep breath. This is what Xue Ting should look like.
Turned around, she finally willing to face him, even if a embarrassed, even if the face of dust, this person is still so resolute uninhibited.
Even if you hate him and blame him again, you can't deny that she loved Xue tingji, who was more frustrated and braver, and who had been tempered in the disaster.
Xue tingji also saw Pei Ming, who was full of brilliance. He wanted to hold her, but he could only resist the impulse and quickly compared her mouth shape.
Pei Ming actually understood. What he said was: where there is you, there is me.
The setting sun immediately hid behind the mountain, and the remaining twilight fell to her eyes. Why should Xue tingji say such words!
The firewood in the stove crackled twice, which shocked her. Her eyelashes fluttered twice and said, "don't cook the rice." After that, he left in a hurry. He walked too fast and tripped over the stones on the ground.
Xue tingji couldn't help laughing. As long as he thought that the food he made was for her, he couldn't resist being tired.
However, he didn't notice that when he was looking at Pei Ming's back and laughing, the little people nearby showed some kind of bad eyes
