After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

It was hard for Liu Yunxiang to imagine that someone could get used to being called a 'bitch', and that person was her.

After dinner in the morning, Liu Yunxiang had just sat down when Chongming came over with a serious look on his face.

"Bitch, is this seat suitable for someone like you in the outer room?"

Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh. Who didn't come from the outer room? When he was the outer room, she didn't treat him so harshly, right?

Forget it, try to reason with a madman, unless you are crazy yourself.

Liu Yunxiang stood up resignedly and sat near the door.

Puchi!

Liu Yunxiang glared at Yan Mu, who could actually laugh.

"Husband, when you stay in this little bitch's room every night, have you ever considered my feelings?"

Yan Mu couldn't laugh anymore and hurriedly grabbed two mouthfuls of food before leaving.

Chongming pulled his sleeve, with sadness in his eyes and blushing cheeks, "I'll wait for you tonight."

Yan Mu pulled out his sleeves with a pale face and hurried back to the west room.

Liu Yunxiang came in after breakfast and saw Yan Mu coaxing Xingyi to sleep.

The little guy played for most of the night last night and will probably sleep for most of the day today.

"Put on your cloak and I'll take you out for a walk." Yan Mu said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Okay."

She has been in Northland for so long, but she has never gone out for a walk.

Liu Yunxiang handed over his plans to Zijin, and then the two of them sneaked out while avoiding Chongming.

"Why should we be sneaky?" Yan Mu said unhappy.

"Who said your wife is not easy to mess with?" Liu Yunxiang snickered.

"I want to kill him."

"But your life is still in someone else's hands."

The corners of Yan Mu's lips curled up, and he pressed Liu Yunxiang into his arms and kissed her, "But it feels good to be sneaky. The flowers at home smell like wild flowers."

Liu Yunxiang hugged him and said, "Then smell it again and see if it smells good."

The two of them lingered for a while, then walked through the deserted alley and came to the street, where they calmed down. This Yangui City is a border town. It is not as prosperous as the capital city of the Central Plains, and it is even further away from Shengjing. Because of the cold weather, there are only a few scattered stalls on the street and there are few pedestrians.

Looking around, everything is cold and desolate.

This street leads directly to the east and west city gates, and this is the only street in Yangui City.

Because Darong and Beijin have been at war for the past two years, Yangui City was looted by Beijin. It has only been restored to life this year, but many shops on both sides of the street are still closed.

Along the way, Liu Yunxiang also discovered that there were many beggars on both sides of Yangui City Street, men and women, old and young, all in ragged clothes and skinny.

After coming out of Yangui City, we continued walking north along an official road. There were occasionally people pushing four-wheelers, riding horses, and driving carriages on the official road.

There are bare mountains on both sides, and cold fog lingers on the top of the mountain.

The two rode a horse together, and Yan Mu wrapped her tightly, then galloped away with his whip raised. After walking for about an hour, we arrived at Zhenbeiguan.

Zhenbeiguan is a pass that guards the North. Outside the pass is the busy desert, and beyond the desert is Beijin. Zhenbeiguan was a place for garrisoning troops. The imperial court implemented a farming system. The families of the soldiers could move here with the army. They were given houses and salaries, and the soldiers and their families were allowed to reclaim wasteland and farm in order to support the army.

Therefore, in addition to officers and soldiers, there are also ordinary people in Zhenbeiguan, but it is more depressed than Yangui City.

At this time, a group of patrolling soldiers passed by. The leader saw Yan Mu and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Shuai Yan."

Yan Mu nodded in response, and then asked: "Has the Beijin envoy group gone south?"

The leader said: "They wanted to see you. Several generals said that you were not in the army, so they insisted on waiting in the post house. The partial post house ran out of charcoal. They stayed up for several days and couldn't bear the cold. They went south yesterday. "

"I see."

After the leader finished reporting, he looked up and saw Liu Yunxiang, and he saluted hurriedly, "This is the lady, I think. On behalf of the entire army, I welcome the lady."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, then shyly retracted into Yan Mu's arms.

Yan Mu took out a piece of silver from Liu Yunxiang's purse and threw it to the soldier, "Madam, I'll reward you. Go have a drink after the shift."

The leader was even more respectful, "Thank you, madam, thank you Yanshuai."

The gate of Zhenbeiguan is open and is only closed when there is a war. After all, the caravans from the north and the south have to pass here with customs clearance documents. When it was prosperous, caravans walked in the desert, traveling north and south, and could send family letters to each other.

After leaving Zhenbeiguan, we first saw the continuous mountains to the west, and one of them reached straight into the sky. The top of the mountain was not visible, but it was covered with snow from the middle of the mountain, which remained unchanged all year round.

It's rare that the weather is clear today, so we can see the scenery further away.

"Where are we going?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"Heaven."

"What nonsense."

"You'll know when you go."

It was windy outside the pass, so Yan Mu wrapped Liu Yunxiang in his cloak, leaving only her eyes exposed, letting her see the scenery of Mobei.

Ahead is the desert, with undulating sand dunes stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Why didn't you see the delegation from Beijin?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

"avoid arousing suspicion."

"what?"

"If I met with the Beijin envoy and the news reached Shengjing, it would be another story. It would be said that I, the coach, had a private meeting with the Beijin envoy and secretly colluded with evil intentions."

"But you just had a fight with Beijin, and now you are a thorn in Beijin's side. How can you collude with them? It's impossible to think about it with your brain."

"If they want to get rid of me, I might have an affair with a fly."

Liu Yunxiang found it difficult for Yan Mu, but he couldn't help but laugh.

Yan Mu put his hand into Liu Yunxiang's clothes and twisted her waist.

"I just have an affair with you."

Liu Yunxiang was ticklish and afraid of falling, so he had to hide in Yan Mu's arms.

Yan Mu looked at Liu Yunxiang in his arms, whose eyebrows were curled up in a smile and her cheeks were red, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her again.

"Half a year ago, a message came from Beijing saying that you were dead."

Liu Yunxiang stopped laughing, thinking about the beggar telling her that Dongchang used a burnt female corpse to pretend to be her. Has this news reached Yan Mu's ears? Didn't they communicate well?

"then you……"

"Of course I don't believe it, you are so arrogant."

"Oh."

"But sometimes I dream that you are really dead."

"Then in the dream, did you cry for me?"

"Crying until the pillow is wet."

"Really?"

"fake."

Liu Yunxiang turned around angrily. After he died in the last life, she had burned paper for him for decades, and her tears had dried up. As a result, he didn't even shed a single tear for her.

Yan Mu's eyes darkened, "It was just that he was crazy at that time and just wanted to kill people."

He fought his way into the enemy camp and almost lost his life. Several times when Hou Bei Jin came to invade, he was always at the forefront. Old wounds were not healed, but new ones kept coming. It was not until his adoptive father sent him news that he dropped the knife in his hand. Then he fell ill and contracted a cold epidemic, and he recovered after taking the medicine she gave him.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, thinking of the scars on Yan Mu's body, his heart trembled. She turned back and pressed against Yan Mu's chest. Unable to control her rationality, she put her hand on his chest.

"Am I in this?"
