Not only Ergou thought that Jin Chen was Li Mu's aunt, Su Dingfang also thought the same. Men, they all have a tacit understanding. A woman chased a hundred miles away with her maid and was left behind. Isn't this an aunt?
Is it the meaning of friends? So Su Dingfang did not ask the sergeant to free up a tent for the two of them to live in as Li Mu requested. Instead, he built a new tent that no one had used and prepared a new quilt.
Food and food are all provided. Anyway, the luggage is abundant and complete. How can the Marquis's woman be slow to wait?
Su Dingfang and the other sergeants had no strange opinions about this inexplicably extra woman. They all thought it was very normal. Since ancient times, beauties paired with heroes, Zhuluhou Li Mu, with this famous name, can definitely be called a young hero in the world. His
It is abnormal if there is not a beautiful woman by your side. If there is, it is very normal and nothing could be more normal.
It was late at night, and all the tents were dark except for the patrolling sergeants. Jin Chen blew out the candles and listened for a while to make sure there was no one around, then he slowly exhaled and relaxed a little.
Yinyue came closer and said: "Sister, I don't think our lies today can fool Zhulu Hou. He has probably seen through us."
Jin Chen sighed and said: "You have seen it, so why can't I see it? Our lies are too clumsy and full of loopholes. But what can we do? There is news in the clan that the Western Turks are about to advance eastward.
Xin'er, we have to go back no matter what. He happens to be going to Dingxiang. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we don't go back now, it will be too late if we miss the opportunity."
"But if this happens, we will never be able to return to Chang'an again."
Jin Chen glanced at Yin Yue and said, "Are you reluctant to leave Chang'an?"
Yinyue shook her head, nodded again, and sighed: "Sister, originally I had nothing to be reluctant to part with, but I remembered that after we came to Chang'an, everyone we met was actually quite nice to us. To put it bluntly,
I’m not reluctant, that’s a lie, it would be great if all our people could live in Chang’an.”
"This is just talk in a dream. Don't talk about it again in the future." Jin Chen sighed and said, "Camel Valley is more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an. It's so far away. Even if we can walk here, how can we accommodate so many people? How much will it cost?
?”
"Master Hou is rich!"
"He is rich, but why should he spend it on us?" Jin Chen thought of his numerous failed attempts at 'seduce' and felt ashamed, embarrassed and angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "He has a beautiful wife and concubines, but he doesn't like them either.
That’s all, don’t mention this.”
Yin Yue obediently stopped mentioning it, and the atmosphere fell into silence. After a while, Yin Yue couldn't help but speak again, worried: "Sister, since he saw it, he knew that we had lied to him, so why did he still cooperate with us?
Why don’t you expose us?”
Jin Chen felt even more sad in his heart and said: "Maybe he doesn't take us seriously at all. He wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb and send us back to Gaochang. Even if we disappear in this life, it doesn't matter."
Yinyue also fell silent. She also thought about it, but she had a bit of luck. But when Jin Chen said it, this bit of luck was gone.
"Sister, we lied to him, will he still help us find a way?"
"..." Jin Chen fell silent. The answer to this question was of course no. Even if he didn't cheat, Li Mu had no obligation to help. Jin Chen knew it in his heart. She was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and said: "I have already thought about it.
, Even if he doesn’t want to help, he still has to help. If it doesn’t work, let’s just”
Yinyue waited for a long time, but didn't hear the idea behind "just", so she asked: "Sister, what should we do?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's take it one step at a time." As he said this, Jin Chen had already made a decision in his heart. If it didn't work out, he would forcefully take Li Mu to Camel Valley. Then he wanted to leave it alone.
, it doesn’t work either!
…
Although Li Mu still doesn't know what Jin Chen's idea is, just taking her with him seems to have more advantages than disadvantages at present. Having a woman by his side is better than being with a group of big men.
Strong, this is reflected in all aspects.
Take this for example, eating. Although Su Dingfang and others are caring and diligent, they are rough men after all. The food in the army is only edible. No matter how much food and grass are brought, it will still be unpalatable. Li Mu also
There are no exceptions. But with Jin Chen here, the situation is different. She can actually cook, and her skills are not bad. Although she cannot take care of every sergeant, she can take care of Li Mu alone. In the morning, there is porridge and
Steamed buns and some game were caught up with the spies sent by Su Dingfang at noon. They could also pick up two dishes, have a small drink, have a small barbecue, and sing a ditty or something, which greatly alleviated the boringness of the journey.
Li Mu also brought mahjong poker and military chess. These were gifts for Li Siwen, but now they are used. In the evening, he, Jin Chen, and Yinyue will play mahjong against each other.
Let’s call him Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang originally knew nothing, but he learned everything in less than three days. But his self-control was pretty good, and he didn’t lose his mind with playthings. Unless Li Mu asked him to, he would
Can't play.
With such a huge team, the thieves on the road didn't dare to make any plans. Li Mu had someone to play with, so he didn't feel bored anymore. It's just that sometimes in the dead of night, he misses his wives and concubines at home, but there's nothing he can do about it. He's used to it.
I didn't think about it anymore. I was really anxious, so I sent a pigeon out, but no matter how quickly I replied, it would still take three days. After reading the reply, I thought more about it, and the pigeon couldn't fly away.
Dugu Jiu replied to the letter, and her guess was correct. Jin Chen did not go to see Bai Qiaoqiao, and she also lied to Er Gou, putting the blame on herself. Li Mu was originally very angry, but
Jin Chen served him diligently every day, cooking, washing, and playing poker with him. He was no longer so angry. He wrote back to Dugu Jiu and asked Ergou to find Tang Guan and let Tang Guan sort it out.
He came out and asked some newspaper readers to practice the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dream of Red Mansions that he had talked about before. The venue for the performance was changed to storytelling, and there were also people who cheered. He also sent a message to Bai Qiaoqiao, explaining it, so as not to worry about it.
She really believed it and was still jealous that she was pregnant.
The days passed in this "pigeon coming and going". In the blink of an eye, twenty-two days later, the outpost was finally sent to report. It was only half a day's journey to Mayi. When Li Mu came to Chang'an on this road
He had walked through it once, but he didn’t know the way, and there were no serious signs in the endless grassland, and he couldn’t even remember it. When he heard that there was still half a day to go, Li Mu couldn’t help but be very excited, and ordered his troops to stop and drive away.
