Chapter 118

118 frontier fortress scenery

Out of Shanhaiguan, he came to the edge of Mobei. The place where Huo Qijun was relegated was deep in Mobei.

The weather gradually turns cool, but it's October. It's still a crisp autumn season in the capital. It's already a cold wind. It's really a bitter cold place in the northwest.

The emperor's will came very quickly. Before the wedding of Huo Qijun and Shen Qingru was completed, he was urged to go on his way by a decree. Shen Qingru was not annoyed. He asked aster to pack up his things and obediently set out on the road.

But Huo Qijun has been black all the way. For no other reason, he was lost by the emperor's silly lack of a holy decree because of his wedding night

Along the way, Shen Qingru sat in the carriage, opened the window from time to time, and enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the frontier fortress with great interest. The broad-minded blue sky, ethereal white clouds and the sky of the frontier fortress are much more beautiful than the capital. After passing through the Gobi snow mountain, looking at the past piece of white and crystal Gobi desert, and looking at the past piece of continuous golden yellow, Shen Qingru enjoyed the grand scene of "the desert is lonely and straight, and the long river falls yen" for the first time. In the endless desert, the wind and sand filled the desolate Gobi desert. When the desert was stormy, sand grains were flying all over the sky.

After the Gobi desert, it is a lush forest, in which flowers are dotted with this precious green ocean. After the baptism of the Gobi desert, Shen Qingru felt that this green was too precious. He didn't know that it took generations of efforts to plant such a forest in this precious desert.

Along the way, Shen Qingru saw many magnificent scenes he had never seen in the capital before, or even impossible to see in his life. When excited, he dragged Huo Qijun's sleeve all the way and talked excitedly. Huo Qijun only smiled and listened to her chattering. He occasionally showed off his knowledge in front of Shen Qingru and succeeded in gaining an admiring look from the little girl.

"Hou ye, you are so profound..." Shen Qingru stareyed.

As soon as this remark came out, Shen Qingru instantly felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot. Looking up, Huo Qijun had a face and began to exude an iceberg gas field that was too cold to pay for his life. Shen Qingru thought for a moment and said slowly, "well... I've been getting used to it. I forget you're not a marquis now..."

Huo Qijun continued his iceberg face: "what should you call me?"

Shen Qingru turned her head and thought for a moment. She didn't answer. There were signs that Huo Qijun's face was getting darker and darker. When the temperature in the carriage fell to the freezing point, Shen Qingru suddenly burst into a big smile and said sweetly: "husband..."

Huo Qijun's iceberg face was paralyzed and his face broke in an instant. Looking at his smiling little wife, he couldn't help feeling good. He also wanted to put on a shelf with a straight face, but the corner of his hooked mouth revealed his happy mood.

Shen Qingru's smile is more cunning, this dead proud and charming.

They were very happy talking and laughing in the car, but the soldiers outside were very dissatisfied. They are all royal guards. They have always stayed in the capital and have never been to such a remote place. Today, Yunyang Hou is ordered to "send a gift". Yunyang Hou comfortably sits in the car and laughs with the beautiful woman, but they are struggling to move forward in this bitter and cold weather, and their food and drink are much worse than those in the capital.

"This place is full of deserts. You can't even see a few people. It's a fucking place where birds don't shit." a sergeant complained angrily.

"Yes, nothing. I don't know how the Marquis and his wife can survive here."

"Let me tell you, Miss Shen is really crazy. If you keep a good daughter of the prime minister's house, the county head won't do it. You have to follow such a ghost place where birds don't shit. The charming little beauty doesn't know whether she can stand the bad environment here." the sergeant who spoke was very worried about Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru sat in the carriage and listened to the words of those sergeants. Aster sent the food. Shen Qingru looked down and found that the dishes were quite rich, but most of them were frontier fortress specialties, such as roast lamb legs, fried mutton with scallions and so on. After watching for a long time, she only took a bowl of sour bamboo shoot chicken skin soup from Aster, drank it, and ate a piece of jujube paste yam cake. Huo Qijun also had no appetite. He picked up a few snacks and filled his stomach. Seeing that the beef and mutton dishes on the table had not been moved, Shen Qingru simply asked aster to take them out and give them to the sergeants.

Those Sergeants are used to enjoying good rice and meat in the capital. There is a lack of materials here. Huo Qijun is valuable and can contribute some good dishes. They can only eat white steamed bread in cold water. Now when they see these meat, their eyes shine. After thanking them, they scramble to eat them. While eating, they also say that the mutton in this ghost place is delicious, tender and delicious.

The boy timely sent a pot of hot Lu'an melon slices. Huo Qijun poured a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly. He watched Shen Qingru eat jujube paste yam cake. She opened Ying's mouth, bit the jujube paste yam cake with thin shell teeth, ate it sweetly, and finally licked her fingers reluctantly.

Huo Qijun looked at it in silence and said in a deep voice, "don't worry. Follow me out and you will never suffer a little."

Shen Qingru was slightly stunned. Only then did she realize that her unwillingness to jujube paste yam cake made someone unhappy. She smiled a little embarrassed: "I used to do the same when I was in the prime minister's house. When I said it, I should blame aster."

Huo Qijun was slightly stunned.

The aster pouted and muttered discontentedly, "Miss, the maidservant is for you."

Shen Qingru nodded frequently: "yes... Aster is really good for me. I ate too many sweets for some time and had a severe toothache. Since then, aster only gave me one piece a day at most, not more."

"So I cherish every bite." Shen Qingru licked the corners of his lips and continued to aftertaste the delicious food just now.

Huo Qijun lost his smile. A bony finger gently wiped away the dim sum at the corner of Shen Qingru's mouth. At the end, Shen Qingru blushed and quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it around his mouth.

"But it doesn't matter if you have a hard time with your husband. Anyway, I'm ready to come. We'll have a good time. We'll be angry with those bastards in the capital."

Shen Qingru said.

Huo Qijun's Lu'an melon slices almost came out. The girl said something like a mold at first, which moved him. Unexpectedly, she began to swear.

But he likes it.

Huo Qijun raised his eyebrow and said, "madam, you speak so rudely that you don't look like a lady at all." after a speech, he saw Shen Qingru's delicate face gradually ugly. The moment before she turned and wanted to go, Huo Qijun grabbed her slender hand and stroked it in his palm: "however, my husband likes you like this."

Shen Qingru glanced at him and saw that his face was serious, but the corners of his mouth twitched faintly. He couldn't help laughing. After Huo Qijun came out of the capital, he really laughed a lot more than before. Once upon a time, he always had an iceberg face and a paralyzed face. He looked like who owed him 108000 taels of silver. Although she is still in public, she is much more cheerful when she is with her in private.

That's good.

Shen Qingru pretended to be angry and pinched him hard on his shoulder. Huo Qijun stood still and let her pinch to the end of time. Shen Qingru was angry, but secretly picked up the dog tail grass and scratched it on his neck. Huo Qijun simply held her all over. They laughed and were very sweet.

After a few more days, I finally reached the border crossing. The leader of the imperial forest army who was responsible for escorting turned over and dismounted. After handing over with the pass guards, he couldn't wait to return to the capital. He urged his horse to salute beside Huo Qijun's carriage and said, "Lord Huo, we have reached the border. Go fifty miles further. It's where you live. I'm sorry, the villain is not far away."

Huo Qijun in the carriage gave a faint "um", and the escorting sergeants heard this, just like hearing the sounds of nature, ran without a trace, and returned to the embrace of the capital.

Shen Qingru looked at the hurried fleeing figure and always felt that these soldiers of the imperial forest army could not bear hardships and stand hard work.

Huo Qijun asked the coachman to continue on his way. Shen Qingru wrapped in a thick white fox cloak stretched out her head and looked around. The cold wind raged and blew on her face like a knife. She looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's going to snow this day. Shall we rest at the post station for a night first?"

Huo Qijun also lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it: "it's going to get off, and it's also after midnight. It's not far from us. We can get there before dark."

He turned his head, gently held Shen Qingru in his arms, and asked in a low voice, "does madam feel tired?"

Shen Qingru shook her head. She was either sitting in the car watching the scenery or eating and drinking. What's so tired. Huo Qijun lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead: "we'll get there before dark, and then have a good sleep. It's much more comfortable than the post station."

Shen Qingru always felt that Huo Qijun had no reason to say it. She leaned in his arms and pulled his sleeve to be coquettish. Huo Qijun smiled helplessly: "I also want to avoid my subordinates. They know that I have been demoted to the frontier fortress, and one or two are excited to write letters to meet me. I'm afraid my wife will be frightened by their ugly appearance, so it's better to go to the city early to avoid them."

Shen Qingru wrinkled his nose and said discontentedly, "do your subordinates have three heads or six arms? Am I so timid?" his face was looked down.

Huo Qijun smiled and replied "yes". He secretly decided to keep his lovely wife away from those strange and rude bastards. It's best not to meet. Hum, those bastards, he's been itching for a long time to clean them up.
