  The next day when Zhang Qi woke up, her eyes were a bit dark underneath. Black way

  Last night, she shivered in Langling Wang's arms for half a day until she fell asleep, still tightly clutching his clothes.

  After washing up and getting back on the horse carriage, Zhang Gui had already begun to worship those scholars and swordsmen who dared to wander around the world with only a few servants.

  The outside world is so dangerous, especially at night, it's really scary, they are truly fearless.

  Because of the lingering fear in her heart, after they got on the road, it wasn't until a while later that she finally managed to extricate herself from Lang Ling Wang's embrace and sat down bravely on the other side of the carriage.

  Along the way, some of the people in the group couldn't help but glance at Zhang Gui. From their expressions, it was clear that they were eager to know what had happened last night. However, seeing the calm and collected face of Lang Ling Wang sitting there, even if they had the intention, they didn't dare approach him.

  In the morning it was still foggy, near noon, the bright red sun rose into the sky, and everyone was still a bit sultry.

  At this time, King Langling ordered: "Speed up the journey."

  It's necessary to speed up, otherwise, we might have to spend the winter in this desolate and cold place. The King of Lanling glanced at Zhang Qi's typical delicate physique that only Jiangnan women possessed.

  "Yes."

  With a team of one person and two riders, shouting to accelerate, it was extremely fast. In the eyes of the merchants who lost their way, 500 people rolled out like sand in the wind. Even Zhang Qi's carriage, because the four horses pulling the carriage were excellent horses, plus there were only two people in the carriage, not heavy at all, the four horses ran with all their might. The speed was also extremely astonishing.

  In just half a day, the troops marched over a hundred miles.

  However, at this time, Anping County had not yet been established.

  Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Zhang Qi couldn't help but say in a low voice: "Chang Gong, that strange creature last night, did you see what it was?" She bit her lip and muttered: "I thought about it later, and somehow I felt like it was a horse." After calming down from the shock. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the strange creature was indeed a horse.

  Langling Wang, who was reading military books, raised his head and looked at Zhang Qi. He said lightly: "That's not a horse!" Just four words, only four words, after finishing speaking, he continued to lower his head to read the book.

  It's not a horse. What is it? Suddenly, Zhang Qi felt that the darkening sky outside had become terrifying!

  Night has fallen again.

  Zhang Yi, who had been tossed about all night, was so tired that her limbs ached. After dinner, she looked at the thickly laid-out, extremely comfortable carriage, and then glanced at Langling Wang, who was not far away, speaking in a low voice with his guards. She gritted her teeth, took from the carriage the embroidered quilt she liked best, along with a piece of tiger skin. With her head bowed, she strode majestically towards Langling Wang's tent.

  This person's courage is getting smaller and smaller, used to hearing wolves howl at night, but after being startled by that black shadow again last night, Zhang Qi's confidence has been shaken. Sometimes when seeing dark places, she can't help but have wild thoughts.

  Under the radiant flames, Langling Wang's handsome and noble face was so dazzling that people dared not look directly at him. He glanced at the eerie and majestic figure with a stern expression, then his eyes shone brightly like stars.

  He slowly lowered his eyes and drank up all the wine in the jug.

  He had just put down his wine glass and looked up to meet several strange gazes.

  He glanced at them and Langya Wang calmly ordered: "Yang Shoucheng!"

  "In."

  "They're on night shift tonight, if anyone dozes off, it's you who'll be asked!"

  What?

  Ignoring the few bitter faces, Langling Wang stood up and strode towards the tent.

  As he walked, he hesitated.

  Standing outside the tent, looking at the delicate body printed on the tent, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he turned around and left. Until Zhang Qi fell asleep completely, he tiptoed into the tent.

  Zhang Qi slept for a while and woke up, as usual, to find herself lying in the arms of Lang Ling Wang. He was sleeping soundly, with his body straight and proper, and his two hands hanging down by his legs, looking like they had been carved into place.

  She raised her head and stared blankly at the blurry light, where Lang Ling Wang's handsome face appeared. As she looked, she lowered her eyelids again and fell back asleep.

  Before I knew it, the night had passed.

  Divider line

  The second day was still a fine sunny day, and the riders continued to speed up their gallop.

  That night, Zhang Yi still quietly got off the carriage and slept in Langling Wang's tent. Although every time before falling asleep, she was sleeping in the corner, far away from him. However, every time she woke up, she must be in his arms.

  After more than ten days, in the rare, bright winter sunshine, five hundred people rushed continuously, and finally, a group of people left Anding Prefecture and arrived in Chang'an.

  Just arrived in Chang'an, not yet entered the city, the sky quickly became overcast, at this time, a guard shouted: "It's snowing!"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

  Fortunately, they were about to enter Chang'an City. Zhang Gui let out a sigh of relief. Finally, they had arrived at this place where people gathered and lived together, where they didn't have to fear the howling wolves at night or be intimidated by the midnight ghostly winds!

  By her side, Langling Wang furrowed his brow. If it could clear up for a few more days, he could leave Chang'an and enter the next city. He didn't want to spend this rare winter day in a place like Chang'an.

  He turned his head and shouted back: "Enter Chang'an City first, and leave when it's clear!"

  "Yes."

  Once they entered Chang'an, the five hundred iron cavalry also relaxed. Disguised as horse merchants and their escorts, they began to loudly discuss where to go to have a good time in the red buildings of the city.

  It was just a moment, and the snow fell even more heavily, in the blink of an eye it had drifted over the carriages, whitening the sky and earth, and also whitening the crowd.

  The footsteps of the cavalry grew faster.

  In the afternoon, the five hundred people finally entered Chang'an City. Under the familiar arrangement of the guards, the five hundred people moved into one of the largest taverns in Chang'an City.

  When they had warmed themselves up with hot water and changed into clean clothes, the streets had turned a brilliant white, and pedestrians were few and far between.

  Among the shouting, the guards came out of the wine tower in groups of three or five. After the battle with the Turks, each of Lanling King's guards had become fat and oily. Even Zhang Gui had become a rich man now. After killing the Turkish leader, Lanling King casually took the packages on his horseback and handed them over to Zhang Gui for safekeeping, which were his personal property. The package didn't look impressive, but inside it was filled with countless precious jade utensils and gold, weighing as much as 70 or 80 kilograms.

  The wealth taken from the rich households of Wuwei by these Turks will be used to support the Zhou army. It will either be put into the national treasury or become military funds. Since its establishment, the Lanling King's department has had a system where four-tenths of the spoils taken from the enemy are given to the soldiers themselves and six-tenths are used as military funds.

  Almost overnight, Zhang Gui became a huge rich man. Of course, these were the things of Langling Wang, he threw them to her, and she accepted them, but she didn't use them.

  I don't know how Ah Lu is doing either? Should I contact her now?

  Seeing her standing on the attic, staring at the people's shadows in twos and threes on the street, Langling Wang walked over with big strides.

  He leaned against her and saw that her earlobe and fingers were all frozen red, and he pursed his lips and ordered: "Go back and rest."

  Zhang Qi replied in a low voice: "I want to watch for a while."

  He didn't answer, but turned around and left. Before long, Zhang Gui felt a warmth on his back, and it was a fox fur coat that had been put on him.

  He wrapped her up, carefully covering her from head to toe, then fastened the sable's clasp tightly and Prince Lanling took her warm hand. "Let's go."

  "Where are we going?" Zhang Qi asked dazedly due to his gentle movements.

  "Just take a walk."

  Two people walked hand in hand on the street.

  As he walked, Zhang Yi occasionally lowered his head to look at the two clasped hands. His fingers were long and powerful, perfectly shaped, clasping her small white delicate hand, perfect as if carved out of an object. None of it felt real.

  The two of them walked like this, strolling through the dancing snow. In the blink of an eye, a thick layer had accumulated on both of their hoods, and their fox fur coats were white to the point of being unable to be any whiter.

  Zhang Qi glanced sideways and saw that Lang Ling Wang was only wearing two undergarments at his neckline.

  She lowered her eyelids, stopped in her tracks and said softly: "Let's go back."

  The King of Lanling responded with a single word, "Good." Just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw Zhang Gui staring at a corner with wide eyes and couldn't help but follow his gaze.

  Standing in the corner were two beggars, a mother and child. The mother had disheveled hair and a very deep and long wound from the bridge of her nose to her lips. Her clothes were tattered, and her toes, which protruded from her straw sandals, were frozen and swollen.

  She was tightly hugging a two or three-year-old little girl, who was thin and pale, and had almost frozen to death.

  Looking at the woman standing helplessly in the corner, squatting there, staring blankly at her own child, her face without tears, only a numbness of heart death. The King of Lanling moved his lips, took out several Wu Guo-made Wuchuan coins from his pocket and was about to go forward when he heard Zhang Qi call out in a trembling voice: "Sister Yu!"

  Almost suddenly, Zhang Qi's face was filled with tears, and she muttered: "She is Wei Jie sister, she is Zhang Wei!" As she spoke, she hurriedly walked towards the two beggars, one big and one small.

  That day in the Chen State Palace, Your Majesty held a banquet and gave away the poorly born daughters of various aristocratic families to the envoys from Zhou and Qi. Zhang Fu was among them, and she was with Zhang Yi at that time. At that time, Zhang Yi was chosen by an old man from Zhou, but unexpectedly, he met her here, and she had become like this.

  Zhang Qi rushed forward in one step, standing before the two beggars. As Zhang Wei lifted his dry and yellow face with scattered hair, staring blankly at her, Zhang Qi glanced at the weak little girl and turned to look at Prince Langling.

  She gazed at Prince Langling, tears streaming down her face, and choked out: "Save this child."

  She opened her lips, hoarse and mournfully said: "This is my Zhang Fu time, that was chosen by the Zhou Guo messenger sister..." She said here, Zhang Yi suddenly raised his head, staring at Zhang Hui in disbelief.

  Zhang Qi was still talking to Lang Ling Wang, her emotions were surging, and she couldn't hold back her tears, which blurred her vision. Looking straight at Lang Ling Wang, she choked with sobs: "At that time, I went to the selection with her, but I wasn't chosen, while she came to Zhou...Chang Gong, Ah Qi never knew if she would also have such a day, when her face was ruined and she was driven out, holding her child and becoming a beggar on the streets."

  She slowly bowed her head and curtsied to him, saying in a trembling voice: "Please help her."

  The child looks very ill, and it is only through him that a skilled doctor can be found as quickly as possible.

  Seeing Zhang Qi so desperately pleading with himself, the Lanling King's lips trembled slightly. He turned his head to one side, letting the wind dry the red rims of his eyes. However, he quickly turned back around.

  He strode up to Zhang Wei, took the child from her arms and walked away with big strides.

  Seeing Zhang Qi pulling Zhang Wei up, the King of Lanling suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said to Zhang Qi, word by word: "This time, it won't work!"

  After saying these six words, he continued on his way with big strides.
