1138 I’ll plant one for you

Because they had to wait for Xue qianxun’s men to arrive, they did not continue to head north. They looked for a place with water near the Salt Lake and set up tents.

When Xue Qianyu’s men arrived, Xue Qianyu taught them how to immediately extract fine salt from the salt stones. Once they were extracted, they would send it back overnight. Then, he would send people to hunt and let the soldiers have a good meal the next morning.

With this arrangement, it didn’t take long for the sky to turn dark.

Just like yesterday, they made a fire and cooked some food, chatting as they ate.

Lu Zheng and Meng Meng hunted some wild animals in the mountains. Gu Nian made a beggar’s chicken, a roasted rabbit, two wild boar legs, and some corn.

Gu Xin put on two corn cobs and focused on roasting them by the fire.

She thought about how they would have to go back tomorrow morning and felt a little sad.

Sigh, I thought I could see brother Yuanyuan more often after coming to kun city, but it still didn’t work!

However, she was much more sensible than before. Although they could not meet often, she was happy to see brother Yuanyuan’s achievements and that he was about to become a general.

Sometimes, she would wonder if brother Yuanyuan’s father would regret it when he returned to the capital after becoming the great general.

Gu Xin had only seen the country guarding Duke once, during the banquet held in Xing Nan country. She recognized him at a glance without any introduction, because brother Yuan Yuan looked very similar to his father.

However, when she saw the country guarding Duke asking about Madame Lin’s well-being and taking food for her, and also saw the country guarding Duke pampering Madame Lin’s children, she felt bad for brother Yuan Yuan.

She remembered that when she was complaining to her uncle in a low voice, her uncle had planned to ask uncle Kang and uncle Xue to beat up the defender Duke and avenge his sister Xiao Jia!

When her uncle came back, she went to ask him if he had been beaten up. Her uncle said no. Brother Xue and brother Kang said that he would be in pain for a while after being beaten up. He had to keep the pain in.

Gu Xin asked him how she could make him feel pain all the time.

Uncle Gu secretly told Gu Xin that the country guarding Duke cared about the Lin family and their children, and that he didn’t care about sister Xiao Jia and her children. Then why didn’t they just let something happen to the people he cared about?

The three men could not directly deal with the mother and daughter of the Lin family, so they targeted Lu Ming, the son of the Lin family and the step-brother of Lu Zheng.

The country guarding Duke wanted someone to inherit the title. Well, they would help him cultivate an heir who only knew how to eat, drink, and play. At the same time, they would teach him how to squander.

Gu Xin went to ask Princess Jinghe. In the end, Princess Jinghe told her that the three of them old men did not need to waste their time on this because Lu Ming was just a wastrel who only knew how to eat, drink, play and squander.

Uncle Gu and the other two added fuel to the fire, making him squander even more.

Gu Xin wanted to laugh at the thought of this. Did her brother Yuan Yuan know about this?

She rarely told him about these things because she was afraid that he would be unhappy if she mentioned it.

“Little glutton, what are you laughing at? You like roasted corn so much?” Lu Zheng sat beside Gu Xin and asked.

“Yup! As long as it’s delicious, I like it!” Gu Xin tilted her head.

“Since you like it so much, I’ll plant a plot of land for you to eat in the future, okay?” Lu Zheng pinched Gu Xin’s nose.

“I won’t! If I eat too much, I won’t have a stomach for anything else. I want to eat all the good food.” Gu Xin shook her head.

alright, then I’ll specially get a piece of land and personally plant all the food you like to eat? ” Lu Zheng laughed.

“Alright!” Gu Xin’s eyes curved into crescents as she laughed.
