Chapter 81 Thousands of miles apart

The group of people passed through Ganzhou, Suzhou, Dunhuang and other places, and what was clearly visible was the vast expanse of desert next door. A majestic city rose from the ground in the distance. The number of camel caravans on the road gradually increased, leaving traces on the desert Gobi.

A long string of footprints.

After walking for most of the distance, I saw that it was already September, and I could see the clear scenery in the distance. Under the clear sky, the west wind blowing in my face had gradually become infected with the chill of late autumn.

Although the day had turned cold, it quickly became hot again after the sun came out. The bright sun often made people dizzy. Therefore, Qingrong chose a neat and light stone-green Hufu, with a bright face.

It was also covered with a dark blue veil, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, adding a bit of elegant and mysterious style to the vast Gobi desert.

Although Qingrong and An Qilang had agreed to go together, the fatigue of the carriage and horses during this period of time made her a little bit overwhelmed. In addition, she had heard about the reputation of Dunhuang, and was curious about this northwest city, so she planned to stay in the city for two more days.

, but the Anjia caravan was on its way, so Qingrong said goodbye to An Qilang in Dunhuang and waited to meet again in Xizhou in the future.

Knowing that he was finally going to separate from the Anjia caravan, Xue Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but Azhen couldn't help but complain a little that there would be less fun on the way.

Yun Niang laughed at her, "I see you bickering with Guard Xue all day long, and you actually enjoy it. How can you be boring?"

Azhen immediately shook her head and said, "Who quarreled with him? I was just correcting him. Besides, why is it fun to be with the caravan?"

At this time, Xue Chang was riding his horse and walked up to Qingrong, "Madam, just ahead is Guazhou City. If nothing unexpected happens, we will arrive in the afternoon. My subordinates have already asked people to explore the road ahead. There are trees and green shade. How about we arrive in a while?"

Take a rest at the oasis?”

Qingrong nodded when he heard the words, "Okay. The sun is strong, so let everyone rest there for a while."

A group of people walked to the oasis area to take a rest.

Azhen took out the biscuits and wanted to give them to Qingrong. Qingrong took one look at them and shook her head, "I'll just drink some water. I really don't have an appetite. You can take some to Songyue and Yunniang."

Azhen agreed and gave Songyue and Yunniang some biscuits. Seeing that Qingrong had eaten little in the past few days and looked a little languid, Yunniang asked: "This autumn tiger is very powerful. Madam."

Isn’t it heatstroke?” After saying that, he reached out and touched Qingrong’s forehead, but there was nothing unusual.

Qingrong smiled and said, "I'm fine. I think it's probably because it's too hot and I have a bad appetite."

Azhen said: "Lady, please take a carriage instead of riding a horse. Although the carriage is a bit stuffy, it's too sunny outside. The weather here is really weird. It's ridiculously hot during the day and very cold in the morning and evening."

."

Songyue nodded, her tone a little worried, "Yes, but I heard that this is not the coldest time yet. If we wait until October and late autumn, it will be even colder and snowy. Although we have traveled most of the distance, it will still be snowy.

There are still more than two thousand miles left, I don’t know when we will arrive, and I’m afraid it will be even harder to travel by then.”

Qingrong was also a little worried when he heard this, "It's more difficult to travel in winter. I think it's better to go faster. The carriage is stuffy. After a while, I think it's better to ride a horse. You eat first, and I'll go ahead and see the horses."

After saying that, she got up and walked to the place where the horses were parked. She took the food and grass and put them in front of the horses. She reached out and touched the horse that had traveled thousands of miles with her. This journey... was indeed not as easy as she thought. At first, she felt

Okay, but after a long time, it became too much to bear. Moreover, since leaving Dunhuang, the road has become rugged and difficult to walk. I heard that there is a large sea road ahead... that is really difficult to walk.

Qingrong was already weak, so he had to hold on hard to keep up. He said without hesitation that this journey was indeed very hard. I don’t know how tired Xue Shao was when he led his troops day and night... and the Jin Zunyu

How could such a noble and pampered princess be willing to endure hardships and travel to a place thousands of miles away? But if you think about it carefully, perhaps in the eyes of others, there is no difference between you and her...

The afternoon sun fell on Qingrong through the sparse dead branches and leaves. The mottled light and shadow enveloped Qingrong, adding a warm halo to her cold and plain dress, making her look even more gentle.

Ethereal and incredibly beautiful.

While she was lost in thought, a calm and mellow male voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts, "Sanniang!"

Qingrong followed the sound and saw that the person was wearing a black Hu suit. He turned over and dismounted, and his movements were smooth and refreshing. Isn't this the right-guard general Xue Shao who was stationed in Xizhou at this time? Who is it? But I haven't seen him for many days, but he is.

I'm tanned, and I'm slimmer, my eyes are a little more energetic, my whole person seems to have experienced hardships, and my whole body has gained a calm and reassuring air.

Qingrong watched quietly as Xue Shao walked towards her quickly. Before she could react, she was pulled into a warm and generous embrace. Xue Shao held her tightly in his arms, as if he couldn't wait to

Knead Qingrong into your bones.

This warm and familiar feeling seemed to have a soothing power, which made Qingrong's heart, which had been suspended for many days, finally calm down. Her mood was very complicated for a while, and she couldn't calm down for some reason. Her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

.

The tip of her nose felt sore, and she put her arms around Xue Shao's waist, and Xue Shao seemed to hold her tighter.

At this time, Xue Chang and his guards who were not far away cheered when they saw Xue Shao, "Alang!", "General!"

Azhen and Yun Niang naturally noticed that Xue Shao and a group of people appeared in this place. They were surprised at first, until they heard Xue Chang's voice, Azhen shook her head and stamped her feet secretly, "This idiot!" And Songyue and

When Yun Niang saw this, they looked at each other, pursed their lips and snickered.

After a long while, Qingrong realized something and felt a little embarrassed, "Let go quickly, someone is watching."

Xue Shaoyiyan let her go. He looked down at her with concern and worry that he couldn't hide in his eyes. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said a lot of words waiting for Qingrong, "Didn't you say you would wait for me back in the capital? How come?

Xizhou is so far away from the capital. It must have been a hard journey for you, right? I see you have lost weight. Although there are inns along the way, the conditions are simple. You have to drink nourishing soup..."

Qingrong originally felt a little awkward when she saw him. Seeing him like this, her anger seemed to have subsided a lot. She smiled slightly, glanced at him, and interrupted: "When did you become so talkative?"

Did she really find out that when she first met Xue Shao, she thought he was cold and taciturn. I'm afraid it was her misunderstanding. After two years of marriage, she felt that Xue Shao was becoming more and more verbose. Is this going to happen again?

Xue Shao frowned, not forgetting that he was still "to be punished" and immediately shut his mouth. But after a while, he still couldn't help but said: "Then you have to tell me."

At this time, she felt a little more happy about getting revenge. Who asked him to hide his random thoughts from her before and wanted to divorce? This time, he should also let him taste the feeling of being kept in the dark and being passively manipulated. Qing Qing

Rong Funny said, "When did I say I won't tell you? You were anxious as soon as we met and asked me a bunch of questions, so which one should I answer first?"

"I'm afraid."

"Am I not standing properly in front of you now? By the way, why are you here?"

Xue Shao held Qingrong's hand and refused to let go, and said seriously: "Of course I'm here to pick you up."

Qingrong was slightly stunned. Is this... a thousand miles apart? Qingrong looked at his tanned skin, which made his originally tough facial features look more sharp, but at this time, there was tenderness between his eyebrows. Qingrong felt

Some strange emotions suddenly arise.

Afraid that Qingrong would misunderstand, Xue Shao immediately explained: "I have already arranged the military camp affairs, and also asked the deputy general to keep an eye on it so as not to delay official duties."

Qingrong looked at him, hummed, sighed softly, and said, "It's still a long way from Xizhou to here."

"It's only two thousand miles. You are willing to travel thousands of miles from the capital. What does this little journey mean to me? Even if you ask me to go to the capital to pick you up, it is all right." When he said this, Xue Shao couldn't help but darken his face again.

, "It's just that this carriage and horse work is really hard, you really don't have to..."

"Do you even think so?"

Xue Shao was stunned and did not dare to say anything more. He just looked at Qingrong with confusion.

Qingrong said: "You also think I shouldn't come? If I say I came here for a reason, can you understand me?"

After saying that, Xue Shao suddenly hugged Qing Rong again. When he heard Qing Rong say this, he was also in disbelief. He was surprised at first, and then felt overjoyed. He didn't expect that she would do this to herself. Xue Shao felt very bad.

His face was moved and he said in a deep voice: "I understand."

Qingrong was about to say something, but Xue Shao was smiling. He looked at Qingrong with a smile and said: "Seeing that it's getting late, Guazhou City is still some distance away. It's best to arrive before dark, so let's start early.

."



On the way to Guazhou City, Qingrong and Xue Shao were originally going to ride a horse each, but Xue Shao used the excuse that riding a horse was too hard and was afraid that Qingrong would not be able to bear it, so he proposed to ride with Qingrong.

Qingrong felt that what he said made sense. After all, she didn't want to ride in a carriage, so she agreed.

But Qingrong felt that after the two of them finished talking, Xue Shao was extremely excited, as if he had encountered some great happy event. Qingrong thought about it for a while, and glanced at someone who was happy.

Man, maybe he has misunderstood something, right?

Qingrong was hesitating whether to explain it in words, and she couldn't let him get too proud. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. After all, if she told him about it, how would he worry about it? He would naturally understand by then.

, what she has not yet finished saying.

The setting sun was setting in the west, like a huge fireball falling in the distant sky, dyeing the entire sky crimson, making it extremely magnificent.

The shadows of Qingrong and Xue Shao fell on the Gobi, and were stretched too long. Qingrong looked back, but she felt that the feeling of leaning on each other and advancing and retreating together was very reassuring, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.

Suddenly Xue Shao pointed to the city gate not far ahead, "We're here."

This Guazhou city is not small, and its regulations are not much different from those of Dunhuang. After a quarter of an hour or so, the group entered the city.

Xue Shao said: "Xizhou and Guazhou are not much different. The outer city is where troops are stationed, and the inner city is where people live. However, the inner city is larger and more prosperous than Guazhou."

Qingrong nodded and said, "I heard that Xizhou City is the most prosperous place in the Western Region. How does it compare to Dunhuang?"

Xue Shao smiled and said, "This title is certainly worthy of its name. You will know it when you see it."

However, not long after entering the city, someone came to greet him. He said that the governor of Gua knew that Xue Shao and his wife were passing by here, so he specially invited him to a banquet. Before, Qingrong was relatively low-key, and even if others knew that she was an official family member, they did not know her true identity.

There is no such thing as identity. But when Xue Shao appears, he naturally cannot keep a low profile. In addition, he has just been promoted, so he is naturally famous in this border land.

The other party extended a warm invitation, so Qingrong had no choice but to accompany Xue Shao to the banquet.
