It's not good to be a widow [Comprehensive]

Early the next morning, the two changed their attire together and prepared to leave Dengzhou.

Ye Gucheng asked Lu Jinglu which direction she wanted to go next, she thought about it, and said she should go west.

To the east is the sea, and to the south is to go home, which are not suitable; as for the north, the climate is too dry, and she doesn't want to go out to relax and make troubles.

Ye Gucheng originally planned to listen to her, of course he agreed immediately, and then took her to buy two horses so that he could continue on the road.

"Leave Dengzhou and head west. I haven't gone through it yet. Heizhuzhu and I took a detour and went to Jiangnan first." As soon as he left the city gate, Lu Jinglu chatted with him again, his tone full of anticipation. The anticipation of the coming strange journey.

But Ye Gucheng didn't know that they took a detour at the beginning. He walked from Dengzhou to Wudang, which is exactly the section they are walking now, so he said he walked.

"However, we were in a hurry back then, no more than now." After finishing speaking, he added this sentence.

Before that, Lu Jinglu was a little afraid of recalling her running away. After all, in her heart, she always felt that she could not let him down in this matter.

But now that she really calmed down and chatted together, she realized that there is actually nothing special to avoid. What happened has happened. The important thing is that now they are together well and only have each other in their hearts.

"Then this time, let's walk slowly." She said.

"Okay." Of course he agreed.

Because they were walking slowly and because they had no fixed destination, they encountered the embarrassing situation more than once when they were not going to the village or to the store during the journey westward.

It didn't take too long from the first rush to the later calmness.

But the farther west they went, the rarer the towns became, and the experience they had accumulated in front came in handy.

"Continuing to the west, we will soon reach the entrance of the desert." Lu Jinglu said, "We were so well prepared last time, and it was very difficult to walk. This time, we didn't bring anything, just two horses. Good to go."

The two of them had been to the desert, just half a year after the grand wedding.

It was autumn and winter, a good time to enter the desert, but a group of people, including the two of them, were born and raised in the South China Sea. After entering the desert, they still felt uncomfortable.

Just like what Lu Jinglu said, at that time, he went in with great strength and suffered a lot. Now that the conditions are so simple, it is definitely not possible to rush in.

But now that she has come here, she feels very sorry if she doesn't cross the sandy sea to see her friend whom she hasn't seen in three years.

Ye Gucheng saw her entanglement and apprehension, thought for a moment, and said: "Actually, if you really want to go in, it's not impossible."

Lu Jinglu: "?" What way?

"Chu Liuxiang has a good friend who lives in Lanzhou." He paused, "We can go to Lanzhou first and ask him to buy some things for us to go into the desert."

Lu Jinglu: "..." Wait, the person you are talking about is Ji Bingyan, right?That's an iron cock!

She was so curious that she simply asked, and it turned out to be Ji Bingyan.

"I heard that this Mr. Ji..." Considering what the other party said, he was Chu Liuxiang's friend, Lu Jinglu still didn't use the term "iron rooster" directly, "After quitting the world and doing business, he is more stingy."

Ye Gucheng hummed, nodded and said, "Chu Liuxiang also said so."

"Then we really want to ask him for help?"

"We are not short of money." He took it for granted, "He must be very willing to help."

Lu Jinglu was speechless and agreed to the proposal.

Yes, it doesn't matter if Ji Bingyan is an iron cock, as long as they pay enough money, he will definitely do his best to help them.

The two diverted to Lanzhou in this way.

After arriving at Ji Bingyan's residence, he briefly explained the purpose of his visit, and he readily agreed.

"However, I haven't been in the desert for a while, so I have to prepare everything from scratch." Ji Bingyan said, "If you two don't mind, you might as well stay here and wait for two days."

When Lu Jinglu heard this, he was very suspicious: "What, is your accommodation here expensive?"

Ji Bingyan had always kept a straight face, but when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing, saying that she had originally planned to invite them to live, but since she was so good-for-nothing, he'd better accept her.

Lu Jinglu immediately regretted it, but he couldn't take it back, so he could only say: "For Chu Liuxiang's sake, can it be cheaper?"

Ji Bingyan laughed loudly, and after laughing, she was puzzled and said: "The wealth of Baiyun City is still ahead of me, why does Mrs. Ye even feel sorry for this small amount of money?"

Lu Jinglu always knew that Baiyun City was rich, but she was richer than Ji Bingyan, but she really didn't know.

Shocked, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Ye Gucheng, but he nodded as soon as he caught her gaze, meaning that he was indeed richer than Ji Bingyan.

Lu Jinglu: "..."

She could only cough and said, "No matter how much wealth you have, it's always right to save some money."

These words won Ji Bingyan's heart deeply, and he nodded repeatedly and said: "It makes sense."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Ye Gucheng: "Master Ye really married a good wife."

Ye Gucheng seemed to smile, but also didn't seem to, his eyes turned to Lu Jinglu, and he hummed lightly.

Rao has already been teased by countless people over the years, and at the moment of receiving such unrealistic praise, Lu Jinglu felt embarrassed for a long time.

On the afternoon of the second day, Ji Bingyan prepared all the things they needed when they entered the desert as promised.

In addition to a large carriage with enough water and dry food, he also allocated a guide who often went into the desert for them, saying that he would definitely be able to bring them to the Black Pearl.

With his assurance, Lu Jinglu and Ye Gucheng felt relieved.

After that, I formally entered the desert, and it really went smoothly all the way, without getting lost at all.

It's a pity that when they arrived at Heizhu's place, they were told that Heizhu was not there recently.

"Where did she go?" Lu Jinglu was curious, since Heizhu is now the lord of a country, so she usually doesn't go out casually.

"My Majesty, she will go to Vulture Palace to stay at this time of year every year."

Tianshan Child Elder has a weird temper, but she has always been kind to Hei Zhuzhu, so these years, as long as Hei Zhuzhu is in the Western Regions, she will go to the Vulture Palace to accompany her old man.

After Lu Jinglu understood the whole story, she could only sigh with emotion that it was a bad luck.

Black Pearl's subordinates were very enthusiastic to keep the two of them, saying that regardless of whether the king is present, her friend is the honored guest of everyone here.

Lu Jinglu knew that they were sincere, but still declined the kindness.

When she came here for the first time, she had already visited this small desert country in addition to guiding the planting of flowers and trees. This trip was purely to visit friends.

Now that her friend is away, her first choice is of course to go shopping elsewhere.

Since she was almost always making decisions along the way which direction to go, this time she felt it was necessary for Ye Gucheng to express her opinion.

Ye Gucheng thought for a while, and said that if you go north, you can go to Tianshan Mountain, and if you go south, you can go to Kunlun. The scenery is good, it just depends on which place she wants to go more.

"Then... let's go to Kunlun." What's going on, it's her decision again in the end!

Like so many times in the past, his reaction was still so simple and neat - "Okay."

This large area to the west of Yumen Pass is not easy to go no matter which direction you go.

At such a time, the special carriage that Ji Bingyan had prepared before was particularly valuable. No matter how rough the mountain road was, they would not be tossed about if they sat in it.

"This car is really good." Lu Jinglu and Ye Gucheng sighed, "I think we should take it with us when we go back, maybe it will come in handy in the future."

"If you want to use it later, you can buy it later." He said, "It's more convenient than taking it home."

"...you didn't make money like this!" Lu Jinglu was shattered by this logic, "Why don't we save some money?"

Ye Gucheng: "...Then listen to you."

She was happy, and leaned over to nibble on his chin, saying that it was a deal.

"Do you like this car so much?" He asked suddenly.

"It's very useful." Lu Jinglu said, "And it's very beautiful."

Ye Gucheng hummed and said I got it.

Lu Jinglu: "???"

"Fifty feet ahead of us, a group of people ambushed, they should be bandits planning to block the road and rob." He said, "I'll deal with them first."

"Ah?!" Lu Jinglu was stunned by this sudden sentence.

"At first, I thought about doing it before doing it." He explained, "But if that's the case, the sword has no eyes when you do it, and it may hurt the car."

"..." That's why you asked me if I like this car very much? !

After Lu Jinglu realized it, she couldn't laugh or cry.

But after thinking about it again, he has indeed been working so hard to pay attention to her feelings and opinions in various aspects, hoping that she will be happy.

"No need." She thought so, reached out her hand to stop him, narrowed her eyes and said, "let's talk about it after we pass."

Ye Gucheng wanted to say something more, but felt that she was climbing onto his shoulders with this posture.

The next moment, her voice sounded again.It was said close to his ear.

"No matter how much I like this car, I can't compare with you." She said, "I'd rather stay with you for a while."

While speaking, there was a warm breath hitting his ear, like a delicate kiss.

He looked sideways and met her smiling eyes, and he stole a very light kiss before he walked to the ambush place of the bandits.

The sky outside the carriage was just right.

The bandits, who were close to them, saw the vehicle speeding up, but the door didn't move at all. They thought that the people inside must have never noticed them, and this trip would definitely be successful.

Little did they know that just when they were thinking this way, a bright sword edge came out——
