After Leng Moran ascended the throne, Xiao Jing'an quickly found an excuse to guard the northern border, for fear that Xiao Chongye and the Gu family would force their marriage.
Xiao Chongye and the Gu family really have this intention. Now all their children have married, and only Xiao Jing'an is still reluctant to talk about marriage.
The biggest headache for the couple is that Xiao Jing'an's personality is too out-of-the-box. He is as frizzy as a monkey all day long. It is common for Gu to hit him with a feather duster.
I originally thought that Xiao Jing'an would be more restrained when she got married, but in the end, she ran away without warning.
No matter how angry the couple was, there was nothing they could do. After all, the person was not in front of them and they couldn't hit him even if they wanted to.
The border of Dachu was stable, and neighboring countries did not dare to invade. Although Xiao Jing'an's life at the border was a little difficult, it was not considered busy. He could just do the errands within the scope every day.
When winter comes, soldiers usually sit together to warm up over the fire and eat barbecue in their free time. Although they are not allowed to drink alcohol, they are more comfortable and comfortable.
There was only one lieutenant named Cao Ping, who usually acted alone and looked tender. If his martial arts were not exceptional, he would have been disliked by others.
At this moment, everyone was sitting together eating barbecue. Only Cao Ping was nibbling dry biscuits in front of the tent in the distance, looking up at the moon in the sky from time to time.
Xiao Jing'an ran behind him with a smile and patted Cao Ping on the shoulder, "General Cao, why don't you go have barbecue with everyone?"
Cao Ping has long turned a blind eye to Xiao Jing'an's unconventional behavior. At first, he would subconsciously discuss it with him. Now when he heard him ask this question, Cao Ping just said lightly: "I don't like it."
Xiao Jing'an looked at the pancake in his hand, and unconsciously became curious, asking: "Is it possible that General Cao's dry pancakes are more delicious than barbecued meat?"
Cao Ping ignored him and silently took a bite of the hard pancake, chewing it expressionlessly.
Xiao Jing'an was also used to Cao Ping ignoring him and continued: "How about you let me try it too?"
Cao Ping was speechless for a while, glanced at him, then hesitantly tore off a piece and handed it over.
Xiao Jing'an happily took it and took a bite - well, it didn't move.
I finally bit off a piece, and it tasted like a rock, hard to chew, and cold. Where can I find delicious barbecue?
But after all, it was someone else who reluctantly gave up her love, so Xiao Jing'an could only chew it and swallow it.
Cao Ping looked impatient, "You're blocking my view of the moon."
Xiao Jing'an then walked away angrily.
There are many more things like this.
Cao Ping's martial arts is very strong. Xiao Jing'an has competed with him many times and is on par with him. She will also learn from him intentionally or unintentionally when practicing martial arts on weekdays.
Cao Ping didn't hide anything about this, but he didn't like to talk. Xiao Jing'an always wanted to tease him whenever he had something to do.
Not far outside their military camp, there is a natural hot spring.
The soldiers here always go to the hot springs, but Cao Ping has never been there even once.
Xiao Jing'an guessed that he was withdrawn and liked peace and quiet, so he didn't like to soak in hot springs with outsiders.
So he found an excuse to go out for inspection, and took advantage of the moonlight to trick Cao Ping into the hot spring.
Cao Ping had never been there before, so he naturally didn't know the location of the hot spring. He was unprepared when he was pushed into the water by Xiao Jing'an.
Xiao Jing'an stood on the shore and watched the excitement.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jing'an didn't expect that Cao Ping was afraid of water and started to float in the water as soon as he got in.
Seeing this, Xiao Jing'an lost all intention of joking and jumped down to rescue.
When he came into contact with Cao Ping's body, he found that Cao Ping's body was very soft and unusual for a man.
When pulling Cao Ping ashore, Xiao Jing'an accidentally touched something and was shocked.
By the time Cao Ping was rescued to the shore, the bun on her head had been completely messed up, and her hair was stuck to her face. She, who was already fair, looked very delicate and charming under the moonlight.
And Cao Ping's body was exposed because all his clothes were wet.
Now, even if Xiao Jing'an is slow, he can still tell that Cao Ping is a girl.
Cao Ping choked on his water and coughed violently. He had not yet found the time to analyze the current situation.
Xiao Jing'an's eyes widened, she pointed at him in disbelief and asked: "You, you, you, you are a girl!"
Cao Ping, who was coughing, was stunned. He glanced down subconsciously. His wet clothes clung to his body. Cao Ping cursed angrily: "You're a disciple!"
Xiao Jing'an also became apologetic, and he quickly went to light a fire.
Cao Ping sat tremblingly by the fire, watching the flames slowly burn, and then her body stopped trembling.
Xiao Jing'an then asked: "How could you be..."
How could it be a girl's house? Thinking that he often made jokes about Cao Ping and slapped her twice when she had nothing to do, Xiao Jing'an felt annoyed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Cao Ping didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about being discovered, and said calmly: "I am originally from a girl's family."
"How can the girl's family come to the military camp?" Xiao Jing'an asked subconsciously.
"Who says it's not possible? My father made a request to the emperor, and the emperor agreed to my coming to the military camp."
"Then why are you dressing up as a man?"
Cao Ping said calmly: "I don't want to attract attention, it's just convenient."
Xiao Jing'an recalled her behavior and touched her nose awkwardly, "I'm sorry for what happened today."
Cao Ping ignored him, but took off his coat and placed it close to the fire to bake.
Xiao Jing'an was very sensible and didn't say anything more. The clothes on his body were also wet, but he was really embarrassed to take off his coat in front of this girl.
Cao Ping didn't even raise his eyes, "Your clothes are also wet. Let's dry them before leaving."
"But……"
Cao Ping interrupted him expressionlessly, with a hint of disgust in his tone, "Why are you such a mother-in-law?"
When Xiao Jing'an heard this, she also took off her coat and baked it.
Under the firelight, Cao Ping's eyebrows looked more and more delicate, and with the scattered hair, Xiao Jing'an was fascinated for a moment and almost set the clothes in his hands on fire.
Cao Ping glanced at him lightly and reminded: "If you continue to be absent-minded, your coat will be roasted."
Xiao Jing'an finally came to her senses and took her clothes further away.
Cao Ping's hair was wet. She slowly rubbed it dry in front of the fire, and then tied her hair back into a bun skillfully.
Xiao Jing'an's throat tightened unconsciously.
Cao Ping put on his coat and saw Xiao Jing'an still sitting there motionless. He couldn't help frowning and urging, "Aren't you going back?"
Xiao Jing'an then put on the dry coat in her hands, put out the fire, and then returned to the camp with Cao Ping.
Since that day, Cao Ping had a different position in Xiao Jing'an's heart.
He no longer deliberately made fun of Cao Ping as before, and his attitude towards her was much softer. Even Cao Ping was not used to it.
