?

  In the dark, watching the tall figure of Langya Wang gradually moving away, Zhang Qi didn't withdraw her head for a while. / It wasn't long before she carefully stretched out her head to look at him again.

  He really sat down among the guards and from start to finish, he didn't even turn his head to look at her once.

  Zhang Qi furrowed her brow and thought: Has he changed his temper? Turning her eyes, she thought that no matter whether it was herself or him, they had all gone through life and death several times. Some changes were also normal.

  At this moment, she slowly fell asleep in the carriage, pulling the quilt over her body. Zhang Qi thought to herself: After a day of traveling, I should sleep early.

  As she thought about it, she covered her mouth with her hand and let out a small yawn, then turned over and slowly fell asleep.

  The night is getting deeper and deeper.

  As the flames died out one by one, and the soft snores of his companions came to him in succession, a guard approached Langling Wang in the darkness and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's late at night, go to bed."

  He spoke eloquently, and another chatterbox looked even more straightforward. "Duke, aren't you sleeping?" He glanced at the carriage and chuckled, "If the Duke can't sleep, get on the carriage, hehehe."

  In the inquiry of the two guards, with his hands behind him and quietly looking at the sky, Langling Wang smiled slightly and asked softly: "What time is it?"

  "It's just past midnight."

  "I think I've slept enough." Langling Wang nodded and smiled: "Do you know how to imitate a wolf's howl? Come learn it from me."

  Two guards were watching me, I was watching you when the King of Lanling had already placed his fingers on his lips and began to howl in a low voice.

  No wonder his wolf howl was low and muffled, full of murderous aura, a perfect imitation!

  The two guards did not expect him to have this move and could not help but listen with great interest.

  The King of Lanling was also learning with great enthusiasm. He hoarsened his voice, and let out a low howl again and again. In his howls, two guards were stirred up, and they too learned from him. The wolves howled together.

  It was also unknown how long it took for a low, suppressed scream to come from the direction of the horse carriage.

  The shout from the other side came over. The King of Lanling put down his hand that was about to call out, nodded at the two guards and said: "You must have been so scared that you curled up into a ball by now. You continue."

  Having said that, he strode towards the carriage.

  Two silly guards, one learning to howl like a wolf and the other watching Langling Wang. They watched as he walked up to the carriage, tapped on the carriage shaft with his hand, and said something. Then the curtain was lifted, and the beauty in the carriage was hugged, and when he returned, another guard was still foolishly howling.

  At this time, his companion knocked down his hand and whispered: "Enough!"

  That slightly mischievous guard. He raised an eyebrow and winked at the two people huddled together, lowering his voice to whisper: "No need to call out now, wait until we're inside the tent. Call out a few more times to add some atmosphere." He grinned, showing off his buck teeth, made a few lewd gestures, "What kind of person is my lord? That's a brilliant military general who has mastered both literary and martial arts through self-study! If he wants to, he can effortlessly charm the ladies with just one glance, not to mention ten!"

  Zhang Qi slept very restlessly that night.

  Although Langling Wang was just holding her, he was sleeping soundly on the couch, as steady and upright as a high-ranking monk. However, she was still startled awake from time to time by the howling of wolves, and after trembling for a long time, she was hugged tightly against his chest by someone who was getting impatient.

  Not to mention, his strong and powerful heartbeat is indeed a good lullaby.

  The next day when she woke up, Zhang Qi's eyes were still a bit swollen.

  This desolate wilderness is truly terrifying. She really doesn't know how those dozens of people who traveled together, making long journeys, spent their days.

  There is such a thing as autumn being high and refreshing, the second day, another fine sunny day.

  Because she didn't sleep well last night, Zhang Qi sat in the carriage and was a bit drowsy. Every time she leaned against the carriage wall, she curled up into a ball and fell asleep, and when she woke up, she was always in the arms of the King of Lanling.

  She opened her eyes wide and looked at him with a mixture of surprise and suspicion.

  Perhaps she had been staring for too long, and her gaze seemed off, flipping through the military book, Langling Wang lowered his head with a blank expression.

  He looked at her, gave a cold glance and reopened his military book, saying lightly: "No need to think too much, you came here by yourself."

  The voice was cold and decisive, with an authoritative and serious tone that left no room for doubt.

  Is that so?

  Zhang Qi furrowed her brow. But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't recall the specific details.

  After a while, she blushed and muttered: "Sorry." After apologizing, she slid down from his arms and sat down in the corner of the carriage, then turned her head and gazed steadfastly at the scenery outside.

  However, no matter how firm her will was and how many vows she had made in secret, once she fell into a deep sleep, she would always wake up in his arms.

  When Lang Ling Wang looked at her with that furrowed brow, an expression of both helplessness and intolerance, Zhang Qi was so ashamed she didn't know where to put herself.

  As Zhang Qi's nights were increasingly disrupted by wolf howls and her days became more and more languid, a month slipped away unnoticed.

  Divider line

  They arrived at Jingyuan City in Anding County of Zhou State on this day.

  Jingyuan City is located in the Yellow River Basin, although it belongs to the northern cold region, it is also rich and fertile.

  Moreover, its city is extremely large, almost comparable to Wuwei Commandery. Compared to the Zhou capital of Chang'an, it's not much different either.

  At this time, the 500 guards of Langling Wang had already dressed up as ordinary merchant team escorts. However, this team, composed entirely of fierce and brave men, with only one horse-drawn carriage, still caused the bustling crowd to quiet down for a moment when they entered Jingyuan City.

  Zhang Qi sat in the carriage, wearing a veil hat, her eyes shining brightly as she watched people coming and going outside, the sound of horses' hooves and carriage wheels filling the air.

  She had never been to Jingyuan City, although she had heard of it countless times, but this was her first time.

  The women here no longer have the dry redness brought by the strong winds of Wuwei, their tall stature and fair skin are not much different from those of Chang'an. Of course, if you look closely, you can still see that their skin is a bit coarser.

  After walking for a while, the horse carriage stopped.

  The King of Lanling jumped down from the horse carriage first, and he stretched out his hand to Zhang Yi in the carriage.

  Zhang Qi ignored him, she lowered her head and jumped off the carriage by herself.

  The King of Lanling glanced at her and didn't mind. He turned around and walked towards the wine building in front of him.

  Although he wore a bamboo hat, his every move exuded the dignity and poise of one who was accustomed to high positions. The waiter at the wine shop hastily came forward and asked: "Sir, are you here for a meal or just having a snack?"

  The King of Lanling dropped a golden hairpin and said in a low voice: "It's all."

  It was just a lively time in the wine house, with a full hall of noise, yet there were still many people who, after hearing his voice, involuntarily turned their heads to look at him.

  It's quiet all around.

  Let's not mention the young man walking in front, although his hat covers his face, he has a different air of elegance and grandeur. As he walks slowly, it naturally makes people feel his majesty, dominance, and noble dignity. Even the girl who is closely following behind him, with her small hands hidden from view, has a unique charm that makes one look at her and feel as though the whole room is filled with fragrance and light. Needless to say, she must be an extraordinary beauty.

  Jingyuan is a big city, but people like this are rarely seen. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

  The four of them stood quietly below, with many eyes fixed on themselves. The King of Lanling furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up!"

  The little servant came back to his senses and hastily replied: "Alright! Sir, please wait for a moment, I'll go and arrange it right away."

  The wine shop is still quiet as a crow and sparrow.

  Zhang Yi kept her head down. To these gazes, she seemed to be unaware. She sat quietly in the inner corner of the low table chosen by King Lanling, waiting for the waiter to serve the wine and dishes, then she and King Lanling started eating quietly together.

  At this time, the wine building finally became lively. There were also some people who occasionally glanced at them and discussed in a low voice. "I don't know which prince?" "That beauty must have a stunning appearance, really want to take a look."

  Zhang Qi lowered her head and pulled at the food, she was very sleepy, hadn't eaten two mouthfuls of rice, and her head had already started to nod off bit by bit. Several times, if it weren't for Langling Wang stretching out his hand, she feared that her forehead would have hit the table several times.

  Xiaoxiao yawned, and Zhang Gui, who had already lost his appetite, was about to push the rice bowl away when Langling Wang picked up a piece of mutton from the pot and ordered: "Eat it!"

  The mutton, although it had been cooked repeatedly, still had a strong and pungent smell. Zhang Gui had never liked this dish, so she picked up a small piece and took a bite, but couldn't eat any more of it.

  She saw him start to pick up the lamb meat bit by bit, King Langling slowly placed piece after piece into her bowl until it was full, only then did he say lightly: "Finish eating all of it, otherwise you'll be serving me in bed tonight!"

  Attending in bed?

  Zhang Qi was startled and became much more sober.

  She looked up at him foolishly. Having glanced at him for only a moment, she immediately lowered her head again.

  She's really something, can't just because he acted like a high-ranking monk for a month think that he's actually a high-ranking monk. This man has always been used to doing things his own way.

  She really didn't want to get pregnant with his child again and be drawn into the endless, inescapable wife-concubine struggle.

  Although she had always known that if he really wanted her, there was nothing she could do about it.

  But she just can't help it, can't calm down, can't think straight, and as soon as she starts thinking, her heart aches like a sharp stab.

  She carefully pulled the bowl in front of her and started taking a bite at a time, biting down firmly.

  Mutton was as unpalatable as medicine, but it didn't matter to her. Zhang Qi secretly gritted her teeth.

  Before long, a full bowl of mutton was completely cleaned up by her.

  Afterwards, Zhang Qi took the wine and water handed over by Prince Langling, rinsed her mouth, then wiped it with a handkerchief. Then she raised her head, her bright eyes looking at him through the veil, unwavering.

  He knew she was saying, look, she finished eating and didn't leave a single bit, you can't cheat.

  After glancing at Zhang Yi, Prince Langling took her rice bowl and examined it carefully. Seeing that the surface was spotless, not even a single piece of meat left behind, he nodded in satisfaction.

  He nodded slightly, and Zhang Qi relaxed, then she began to nod her head again towards the several faces.

  The King of Lanling slowly stood up, said a word of settlement, stretched out his hand to pull her hand, and walked towards the courtyard behind the wine building.
