Ma'am, is there someone out there?

Xuan Shen's eyes turned around on Shen Qing, and then looked around, making sure that it was only his carriage: "Only you?"

There was no way to elaborate on the truth, so Shen Qing laughed and prevaricated, he knew that Xuan Shen didn't like to check on everyone who understood.Sure enough, after listening to a few words, Xuan Shen stopped asking, the reason was not important to him anyway.

Shen Qing sat in front of the fire again, Xuan Shen hesitated for a moment, and sat opposite him.The two of them looked at their feet across the fire.Speaking of which, since the flash flood, it was the first time that the two of them got together alone.

"You..." Is the wound on your hand healed?Shen Qing only said one word, and then held back the words.

Can't think, can't ask, can't see.

In the public that day, the behavior of the two of them had already caused people with a heart to talk about right and wrong, and in the eyes of some people, it became darker and darker, making Xuan Shenbu unsightly, like a ghost.Shen Qing needed to avoid suspicion more and more, and never had the experience of being alone.Even Xuan Shen, somehow, learned to avoid Shen Qing, as if he had lost his temper as a child, and suddenly became like an adult with something on his mind.

After a few times, the old butler actually became the person who cared about Xuan Shen and his son the most.Shen Qing learned about Xuan Shen almost all from the mouth of the old housekeeper.For example, when Xuan Shen's hands were scratched and infected by stones in Shan Hong, this old man was the most diligent before and after running.This old man, he was the one who insisted on staring at the two of them in the past, but now that rumors are flying around, he is the one who feels distressed.

Shen Qing smiled wryly, probably the old housekeeper really just saw him as unhappy, as long as Shen Qing stayed away from them, the old man would take out all the favors that the old man had accumulated before that he was reluctant to give to others.

However, this is also good.also good.

Sitting opposite each other quietly like this, no one else is present, no other things disturb, just sitting quietly, not chatting, wasting time.

"Have you eaten?" Shen Qing thought of this question and finally spoke first.Xuan Shen caught up a long time later than him, and he must have eaten nothing on the way. With his usual speed of digesting food, he should be hungry by now.

"No." Xuan Shen scratched his head, in fact, before going out, Bai Zhu had prepared things for him, but he was in a hurry and forgot.

Shen Qing knew this was the case, he got up, took out a few big pancakes filled with meat stuffing, filled a tub full of hot water in a bamboo tube, threw a piece of sugar into it, and handed it to Xuan Shen.When Shen Qing went out alone, he carried few things on his body, most of them were put in the space, it was very convenient to put it in and take it out the same way.But when there are people around, like other people, they pack the bags honestly.

Xuan Shen took a bite, the meatloaf was still slightly warm, Xuan Shen was curious about where he put it.

Shen Qing got up suddenly and walked towards the carriage. Xuan Shen sat in front of the fire, watching his back.He hadn't been alone with Shen Qing for a long time.Thinking about it carefully, that mountain torrent turned out to be the closest distance between him and Shen Qing.

But, only then.

Although Xuan Shen himself was never afraid of others' words, he couldn't listen to other people's slander against Shen Qing, and it was just his own wishful thinking from the beginning to the end.Xuan Shen is like a drowning person, suddenly grabbing a piece of driftwood, reluctant to let go, desperately trying to get it.

It's just that he has already landed on the shore, and he doesn't need to hold on to the driftwood anymore.

Xuan Shen stared at the fire in a daze, he had never had any deep affection before, perhaps even the young Mu Ai had never had it, in his intuition, Xiaobao seemed to be born by himself.This thought frightened Xuan Shen, he touched his stomach in shock, didn't he.

At this moment, Shen Qing walked back with a quilt in his arms, and saw Xuan Shen touching his stomach with a terrified expression, "What's the matter, did you spoil your stomach?"

Xuan Shen raised his head, with a little panic on his face.But he couldn't say that Xiaobao really wanted to come out of his stomach.Xuan Shen shook his head violently, and didn't say anything if he was killed.this is too scary.

Xuan stood up abruptly, jumped a few times, trying to shake this unreasonable thought out of his head.

Shen Qing put the quilt in the tent, and there was a flashlight hanging on the top of the tent, Shen Qing thought about it, let's keep it, anyway, this tent is not easy to explain, and it's okay to have one more.

Xuan Shen squeezed over and knocked curiously on the tent that had been set up. The magical texture of the tent fabric made him touch it back and forth several times.He probed in again, and was even more surprised to see the flashlight with the incandescent bulb on.He stretched out his finger, touched the flashlight, then touched it again, and asked in amazement: "This lamp is amazing, it won't burn your hands!"

"That's a flashlight. Alright, alright, curious person, it's already very late, and I have to get up early tomorrow, go to sleep." Shen Qing made the bed, got up and went back to the carriage.

"I sleep here, where do you sleep?" There was only a quilt spread in the tent, and it looked like it was only prepared for Xuan Shen alone.

Sure enough, Shen Qing turned around and said: "I'm going to sleep in the carriage, you go in quickly, it's windy at night, don't catch a cold."

Xuan Shen jumped up and was about to refuse, in his eyes, Shen Qing was the one who was weak and needed to be taken care of.Xuan Shen felt that he had rough skin and thick flesh, and was not afraid of severe cold, so he didn't need to be pampered!

He ran over in a few steps, jumped into the carriage, Shen Qing had already laid the bedding, and suddenly he saw Xuan Shen's head protruding in.

"Aren't you going to close the tent?" Shen Qing raised his head and asked him, he naturally didn't think that Xuan Shen felt that he was delicate and weak and needed to be taken good care of. , he smiled apologetically and jumped off the carriage.

Shen Qing smiled, and Xuan Shen's words that he had held back for a while suddenly fell silent.He habitually followed behind, watching Shen Qing teach him how to zipper, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Xuan Shen was thinking, why did he follow him.If he went to the barracks and met Lu Chen, he would be jealous and want to kill him.However, Xuan Shen still wanted to follow.Perhaps apart from this journey, they don't have much time to spend alone.

Xuan Shen was absent-minded, he didn't hear what Shen Qing was saying at all, even Shen Qing turned his head and gave him a deep look, but didn't notice it.

"Will you meet?" Shen Qing asked.

Xuan Shen looked at Shen Qing innocently, he didn't even glance at it, and he didn't know what Shen Qing asked, so he had to bite the bullet and answer: "It should be."

Shen Qing knew his temperament, how could he be serious and obedient, so he had no choice but to push Xuan Shen in first, and stood outside to pull the chain on him.

"If you want to come out, call me, I'm in the carriage, you can hear me."

Shen Qing stood outside the tent and shouted, Xuan Shen sat inside, looked at the shadow from the tent, and then lay down on his side.On the carriage, a small lantern was lit, and the night wind blew and blew, and it swayed and swayed until Xuan Shen became sleepy after a while.

He opened his eyelids but did not open them, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Qing didn't expect Xuan Shen to come over, he only had a tent and a thick quilt, so he could only give them to Xuan Shen.I fell asleep with my clothes on, and leaned against the cushion of the carriage with a blanket in my arms. The horse lay docilely on the ground, snoring from time to time.

The horse snored, and Shen Qing shivered, tsk, the temperature difference between morning and night is big enough, and it's really cold to stay in the carriage in the dark field, Shen Qing shivered with his arms folded.

Fortunately, only he is cold.

Dreaming back to the blowing horn company camp, in the big camp in Mobei, Shen Qing's letter was not delivered to the general for the first time.

In the light of the fire, Zhao Zhuang picked up the thin letter paper, thoughtfully, put away the letter paper, and told the deputy lieutenant who was waiting at the side.

"Madam will arrive at the barracks in seven days to bring food and grass to our army. You should go and line up a line of people waiting for contact at any time. It is best to wait at Wangnan Pass. Wangnan Pass is dangerous and often has bandits. Hurry up as soon as possible to protect Madam's safety."

The adjutant got the order, but hesitated to speak.

"If you have any objections, speak up quickly, don't be so coy!"

The deputy captain bite the bullet and said: "Master Captain, shall we intercept the general's letter?" This is a letter sent by his wife to the general, but for some reason today, Captain Zhao asked him to send the letter before the messenger arrives at the barracks. He stopped the letter.

"You idiot!" Zhao Zhuang hated that iron cannot be made into steel. Even he, a savage and rough man, felt that something was wrong. This kid is still in the fog.

After being scolded, the deputy captain lost his breath, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhao Zhuang took out a painting from his desk and threw it to the deputy captain.

The deputy captain took it and opened it, and was surprised: "Isn't this a portrait of your wife? Captain, you..." The deputy captain looked at Zhao Zhuang in the wrong way.

"What do you mean by that look in your eyes? You don't think I have any thoughts about my wife, do you?" Zhao Zhuang was so angry that his beard shook crookedly. The goose-like deputy captain really nodded, and Zhao Zhuang slapped him Shoot down!

"Yum wood head!" Zhao Zhuang cursed before explaining, "Where do you usually keep this painting?"

"General, the one hanging in front of the general's tent?" The deputy captain tremblingly replied, covering his head for fear of being beaten again, but how did the thing hanging in the general's tent end up in the captain's hands.

"That's right, it used to be hung in front of the general's tent, and the general just stared at the painting twice, his eyes were full of sparks..." Zhao Zhuang recalled the scene, saying that he was thinking about others when he saw things. It doesn't look like much, on the contrary, there is a feeling of indescribable hatred.

"Do you know where I found this painting?" Zhao Zhuang asked, but he answered on his own, "The little soldier who cleaned up the room found it from under the table and gave it to me. Do you know what this means?"

"What?" The deputy captain couldn't figure it out. Isn't this just a painting?

"It means that this general is very abnormal now." Zhao Zhuang suddenly changed his tone and became serious.He saw that the general had hung this painting for five years, and the color on it had faded a little.

The deputy captain covered his mouth in shock.

"In fact, as long as we look carefully, the people around us can feel that something is wrong. It's just that none of us wanted to think too deeply before, but this time it's different. The Huns invaded our frontiers. The border between the two countries is now tense, and we must not be careless. Madam's food delivery is of great importance, and no mistakes are allowed. Our army is running out of food..."

The deputy captain Yumu's head opened up, and he realized that the situation was extremely critical.

"It has been some time since this letter was sent from Qingzhou to the camp at the border gate. You should take someone there quickly, take this portrait, and guard your wife at Wangnan Pass. Remember, only you and I know about this matter." , if there is a third person, don't worry about killing him!"

Zhao Zhuang lowered his voice.
