Half a month later.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu had already reached the border of Great Lin. In a few days, they would reach Houliao.
As the sky darkened, everyone camped in a nearby forest.
Because this place was close to the grassland, the weather was very abnormal. It was extremely cold at night, and the trees in the forest rustled. Occasionally, the howls of wolves could be heard. The howls reverberated in the forest, making it seem strange and frightening.
Jing Rong leaned against a tree and dozed off.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Ji Yunshu and the guards sat around the bonfire.
The cold night was long, and everyone started talking at once.
Someone joked, "I finally know why Miss Tang has such a wild temperament. Every day when she opens her eyes, she can hear herds of cows, goats, and dogs howling around her. At night, she can even hear wolves howling. How can that be normal? No wonder even Young Master Mo can't handle it. "
Everyone roared with laughter.
"How do you think Young Master Mo is doing now?"
"What else can he do? When he arrives in Houliao, he will probably become a woman, washing clothes and cooking! Embroidery and warm blankets! It's nothing. "
Someone objected, "Look at what you're saying. Our Young Master Mo is an unyielding man, how can he do this kind of work? At most … he will follow behind Miss Tang and serve this great aunt. "
"Haha …"
After the men finished their lewd fantasies, they laughed so hard that they almost cramped up.
Damn, they laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes.
Ji Yunshu joined in as well.
It was just a bucket of cold water poured over them.
She said, "If Young Master Mo doesn't have a good life in Houliao, then we won't be treated well there. So, you better pray that he has a place in Houliao. That way, we might be able to have a few good meals."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Everyone started to worry.
"Yes, yes, yes. If it's really like what we said, then we won't even be able to live in a yurt. We will have to set up our own tents."
"We might not even be able to set up our tents. Don't chase us away when the time comes."
"Then we still hope that Young Master Mo can live a good life and be the leader."
"Haha …"
…
The group of men started to fantasize again.
Ji Yunshu was rendered speechless by this group of clowns.
Along the way, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh to death. If it wasn't a joke, then it was a joke. If it wasn't a joke, then it was a joke. If it wasn't gossip, then it was gossip. Thus, Ji Yunshu learned some of Jing Rong's' secrets'.
For example —
He and Mo Ruo had drunk too much and slept once or twice.
He looked cold and arrogant on the surface, but he actually sang when he was bathing.
What he was most afraid of were rats.
He had once been chased by a fat lady from a wealthy family in the capital for a month or two, causing him to suffer from insomnia for half a year and developing a phobia.
…
Whether it was true or not, no one knew!
In short, Ji Yunshu was overjoyed.
Jing Rong opened his eyes when he heard everyone talking about Mo Ruo. He stretched out his leg and kicked one of the guards, reprimanding him, "You're a bunch of grown men. Why are you chattering like a bunch of girls all day? Do you have so much to say?"
The atmosphere was awkward.
The guard laughed foolishly. "Your Highness, aren't we just bored? I'm just saying. "
"When the time comes, do you want to say it again in front of Mo Ruo?" "This subordinate doesn't dare." The guard waved his hands and moved his butt closer to Lang Po. He seemed to have become bolder. "Your Highness, it's not like you don't know that Young Master Mo seems to be carefree, but he's actually very petty. I don't dare to offend him. Last time, Lao Wu laughed at him for having short legs, so he added some croton into Lao Wu's bowl.
A few crotons almost strained him to death. As for Old Bing, he just casually said that his medical skills were not good, but in the end, he directly injured Old Bing's leg, and it took a month for him to recover. This subordinate has old parents and is not young yet. I can't afford to offend him. "
"Oh? There's such a thing? "
Jing Rong had a 'why didn't I know?' look on his face.
Although he knew that Mo Ruo was' vicious', he didn't expect him to be this vicious!
"Young Master Mo pretends to be well-behaved in front of Your Highness, but in front of us, he's very formidable."
"That's right, Young Master Mo is afraid of Your Highness."
"It's more than afraid …"
'Something's not right!'
Jing Rong couldn't be bothered with them.
Those people started to criticize Mo Ruo, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
One after another, it was a delightful thing to say.
It caused a certain someone to sneeze!
Mo Ruo sat in the yurt, wrinkled his nose, and sneezed again. He shook his head and cursed, "Which bastard is talking behind my back?"
Big-bellied Tang Si came in from outside just in time to hear him curse a bastard.
"Ah Mo, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing!"
Ever since Tang Si got pregnant, Mo Ruo had become his wife's slave, obedient to her every word.
He quickly helped Tang Si sit down and said, "You're going to give birth in two or three months. Don't run around."
"Oh." She was very obedient.
Her previous unruly attitude had decreased a lot.
She was more like a mother now.
She suddenly pulled Mo Ruo's hand and asked, "Oh right, I calculated the time. Ah Ji should be here in a few days."
She was very excited.
"It should be about time. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick them up." "When the time comes, Ah Ji will be able to see our child born, and we can be together again. When the child grows up, I will teach him martial arts, you will teach him medicine, and Ah Ji will teach him how to paint. Jing Rong will …" Tang Si thought for a moment, but this was difficult for her. She muttered, "Jing Rong can teach our child what?
What can he teach our child? "
Mo Ruo laughed and said, "He can teach our child how to be thick-skinned!"
These words caused a certain someone to sneeze.
Jing Rong rubbed his nose.
'Which bastard is talking behind my back?'
Ji Yunshu boiled a bowl of ginger soup for him and handed it to him. "The weather in the grasslands is always changing. Drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."
He took a sip and drank it.
Not a drop was left!
Jing Rong held her hand, which was cold all year round, and ordered someone to bring a cloak for her. He pulled her into his embrace and added more firewood to the fire.
"Your body is weak. Don't let the cold air in the forest touch you."
"I know."
"It's already very late. Rest well."
He pulled her tighter against him.
She rested her head on his sturdy chest, feeling very at ease.
She fell asleep.
Not long after …
"Crack."
The sound of a branch snapping came from the forest.
Jing Rong's ears twitched. He frowned and looked warily into the dark forest. Because he didn't want to wake the woman in his arms, he gave Lang Po a look.
Lang Po nodded and quietly got up to go into the forest where the sound came from.
He came back after searching for a while.
He shook his head at Jing Rong, indicating that there was no one.
Could it be … that he heard wrong?
Jing Rong didn't dare to relax and ordered people to keep a close watch.
