Xiao Ji suppressed the urge to laugh and said tolerantly, "It's alright, even if the princess really spits food all over my face, I won't mind."

Shang Changge: ?

Shang Changge's eyebrows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly, and he gave Xiao Ji a strange look several times before finally uttering two words:

"abnormal!"

Xiao Ji burst out laughing, and laughed heartily and loudly.

Shang Changge: ? ? ?

Being called a pervert and still laughing so happily? He really is a pervert!

Shang Changge decided to ignore the pervert and continue focusing on eating.

After eating, drinking, having fun, and shopping, Xiao Ji wanted to take Shang Changge out of the city for horseback riding, but Shang Changge felt sleepy after eating.

Sitting in the carriage leaving the city, she rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes half-open and half-closed, looking as if she could fall asleep at any moment.

Xiao Ji had just finished instructing the coachman and boarded the carriage when he saw this scene. He smiled wryly.

He sat down next to Shang Changge, his broad, calloused hand, accustomed to wielding weapons, gently stroking half of Shang Changge's cheek.

Are you sleepy?

Shang Changge responded languidly, then naturally lay down in Xiao Ji's arms.

She skillfully wrapped her arms around Xiao Ji's strong waist, nuzzled his unadorned face comfortably, and then closed her eyes completely and fell asleep.

Xiao Ji's eyes were full of smiles. He held the woman in his arms by the waist to prevent her from falling off due to the jolting of the carriage, and then gave instructions to the people outside the carriage:

"Let's go, take it slow, no rush."

Driver: "Yes."

The coachman was one of Xiao Ji's men, but he wasn't a killer or a soul-reaper.

Xiao Ji didn't have anyone constantly by his side, and the General's Mansion also had other matters to attend to and complete.

The carriage was deliberately driven very slowly, and it was already past the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when they arrived at their destination.

They arrived at a military camp outside the city, where the Azure Dragon flag, symbolizing Qingyan, fluttered in the autumn wind under the scorching sun.

The barracks gates opened.

The carriage pulled in, and Shang Changge, having finished her afternoon nap, was now full of energy.

He lifted the carriage curtain to watch the soldiers coming and going in the military camp, and without turning his head to ask any questions, he was filled with curiosity.

"Outsiders aren't allowed to enter and leave the military camp at will, are you sure this is a place I can come to?"

Military camps are restricted areas, and even princes and princesses cannot enter or leave at will without following proper procedures.

Xiao Ji wrapped his arms around Shang Changge's waist from behind, lowered his head and kissed the woman's earlobe, which was so close to his, then pressed his face against hers:

"The princess is not an outsider."

Shang Changge didn't miss the tingling sensation on the tip of her ear. She lowered the carriage curtain, turned around to look at Xiao Ji, and counted the places the man had kissed:

Fingertips, lips, cheeks, neck, ears.

Shang Changge unconsciously clicked her tongue, reached out to straighten Xiao Ji's perfectly straightened collar, and leaned closer.

He whispered in her ear, his languid voice deliberately adding a touch of alluring coquettishness:

"I didn't realize Brother Ji was so good at it."

As they spoke, her lips, as delicate and luscious as peony petals, moved to kiss Xiao Ji's sharp and sensual Adam's apple.

He paused, gently teasing her, until he felt the carriage also slowly come to a stop.

A pair of slender hands loosened her collar, and she stepped back to meet Xiao Ji's gaze, which had deepened considerably.

Shang Changge's triumphant smile was incredibly alluring and unrestrained. She leaned close again, her voice rising to an eight-tenths of its most seductive tone, melting hearts and bones.

"Jiaojiao can do it too, do you like it, Brother Aji?"

After saying that, he quickly slipped off the carriage, completely ignoring Xiao Ji's life or death.

They take irresponsibility to the extreme, being utterly wicked and utterly despicable!

The autumn wind is blowing, it's only been a short time since autumn began.

The lingering heat of midsummer hasn't completely dissipated, so people don't really feel the arrival of autumn yet.

The advantage is that the dense forest and foliage of the trees provide shade from the scorching sun, making it less hot to ride a horse through the woods.

The area outside the city is different from the area inside the city.

Because of the large number of people in the city, one cannot ride a horse too fast unless there are special circumstances, otherwise one will be arrested and flogged by the patrolling soldiers.

Even though there's a horse farm, I still feel uneasy, but...

Shang Changge didn't really care much about whether or not he could enjoy riding a horse, nor was he particularly interested in it.

Because she was used to driving in the apocalypse, and the kind of driving at breakneck speed, so...

but,

Shang Changge turned to look at Xiao Ji, guessing that riding a fast horse was probably a way for Xiao Ji to relax, and didn't say anything to spoil the mood.

She could tell.

Xiao Ji took her out to play various games today, probably because of what she said to him last night.

Xiao Ji was fulfilling her desire for freedom and unrestrained living in his own way.

"Coo-coo—coo-coo—"

"Chirp chirp chirp—" "Chirp chirp chirp—"

The woods were filled with the calls of birds, some long and some short, as well as the soft chirping of unidentified insects.

Another autumn wind swept in, and the leaves in the entire forest rustled.

The scenery is pleasant.

This made Shang Changge's already excellent mood even better, and he pulled on the reins.

Xiao Ji, who had been keeping an eye on him, beckoned. The man, also on horseback, leaned closer.

Her red lips touched the man's cool lips, and after a light, fleeting kiss, she smiled and said:

"General Xiao, let's go back to the camp and have a fight while it's still early."

military camp

In the open space usually used for training soldiers, Shang Changge and Xiao Ji each wielded a long spear, kicking up clouds of dust.

A large number of soldiers had gathered not far from the two, watching with wide eyes, both surprised and puzzled.

"Why is the princess so good at fighting?"

"You're asking me? I want to know too! This princess is so good at fighting!"

It makes us look like pretty faces, utterly embarrassing!

"That shouldn't be the case. No country has dared to wage war against Qingyan for many years. Is there no war to fight?"

"It doesn't make sense for princes and princesses to practice martial arts to this extent!"

"Why are you all so concerned about whether the princess can fight? Doesn't anyone care why the princess and the general ended up fighting in the first place?"

"What else could it be? It must be that the general, the newly appointed prince consort, has done something to displease the princess!"

"Go away, go away! Can't you speak properly? Can't you wish our general some good things? Is it easy for our general to find a wife?"

This isn't a fight, it's a friendly exchange. Do you even understand the fun between husband and wife?

"Hey, you don't have a wife, so you definitely wouldn't understand! It's pointless to explain it to you."

"Brother Guo, you can't be so hurtful with your words. You can't always act like you're above the law just because you have a wife..."

These people have all sorts of opinions, and in the view of the vast majority of them...

Shang Changge and Xiao Ji were evenly matched, with Xiao Ji only slightly ahead of Shang Changge at most. But the truth is...

Shang Changge was panting heavily and almost exhausted, while Xiao Ji on the opposite side remained calm and composed.

finally,

Shang Changge was so exhausted he could no longer fight. He leaned on his spear, panting heavily, letting sweat drip down his forehead.

She refused to accept it!

But she really couldn't beat him, so frustrating!!

Unfortunately, he was too exhausted, so he could only resort to eye attacks, trying to glare Xiao Ji to death with the fiercest look in his eyes.

Xiao Ji wanted to laugh, but he held it in.

I'm afraid if I actually laugh, that fiercely competitive brat on the other side will fight me to the death.

He threw the spear back onto the weapon rack and walked unarmed toward Shang Changge.

Shang Changge wanted to brandish her spear and show Xiao Ji what despicable behavior was, but then she thought better of it; it was too tiring.
