Chapter 140 Pei Yan, I’m starting to miss you now.
Pei Yan got up the next day and did not disturb Lu An. He kissed Lu An on the head and whispered softly, "An An, wait for me to come back." Then he secretly left the palace and went to the military camp.
Pei Yan arrived at the military camp and was about to leave when Mo Yuan arrived late. "I am late. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Pei Yan raised his eyes to glance at Mo Yuan, and seeing the red marks on Mo Yuan's neck, he said calmly: "Get up."
Mo Yuan stood up, like a cat stealing fish, and asked Pei Yan, "How can we get out?"
Pei Yan couldn't bear to look at Mo Yuan like this. He turned his head away and said, "Let's go now."
An inconspicuous caravan quietly set out from the side door of the military camp. Nine horses and nine men in ordinary business attire, with the horses carrying what appeared to be ordinary goods, but in fact they contained hidden weapons and valuable gifts.
Pei Yan dressed up as the owner of the caravan, wearing an indigo robe and a veil to cover his face. Mo Yuan and Ashina acted as the guard and guide respectively, and the other six were carefully selected shadow guards, each of them had extraordinary skills.
When Pei Yan walked out of the city gate, he glanced into the distance in the direction of the imperial palace. He raised his hand and touched his neck, which was exactly the place where Lu An had bitten him last night. His lips moved up and down, but no one could hear what Pei Yan said. Then it disappeared with the wind.
Lu An also woke up suddenly from the palace at this time, "Pei Yan," Eunuch De heard the voice and hurried in, followed by Long Wu. Eunuch De saw Lu An's body full of kiss marks, and he hurried forward to block them: "Oh, why did you wake up so early, can you sleep a little longer?"
Lu An looked at the sky outside and knew without a second thought that Pei Yan had left. But he still couldn't help but ask, "Where's Pei Yan?"
Eunuch De said reluctantly, "Your Majesty, he left at the hour of Yin."
Lu An said "hmm" in disappointment, "Eunuch De, please go down first. I'll lie down for a while."
Eunuch De naturally agreed and quickly withdrew, but Long Wu had already left the hall the moment he saw Lu An.
Lu An was lying on the bed, and he didn't know what to do at the moment? Feeling empty in his heart, he hugged Pei Yan's pillow, buried his face in it and said in a muffled voice: "What should I do, Pei Yan? I'm beginning to miss you now. You clearly promised me to send you off last night, but you lied to me."
Pei Yan was riding a horse on the official road at this time. The autumn sun was shining on the earth. The crops in the fields on both sides had been harvested, leaving only neat stubble. The mountains in the distance are varying shades of yellow-brown, like an ink painting.
"At this speed, we can reach Baishui Pass in seven days." Mo Yuan rode his horse closer to Pei Yan and whispered, "After Baishui Pass, we will reach the border area, and the danger will increase greatly."
Pei Yan nodded: "Where is the Xianbei tribe's Murong Chui going to meet?"
"In Black Rock Canyon." Ashina turned back from the front and said, "That is a neutral area, the location designated by Murong Chui. This man is cunning and suspicious, Your Majesty must be more careful."
Mo Yuan snorted coldly: "More suspicious than you?"
Ashina did not take it as an offense, but smiled and said: "On the grassland, people who are not suspicious will not live long. Murong Chui can become the great leader of Xianbei, so he must have his ability."
Pei Yan thought thoughtfully: "What are his weaknesses?"
"Arrogant." Ashina answered without hesitation, "Murong Chui calls himself the fox of the grassland and likes others to flatter his wisdom."
"And..." Ashina lowered his voice and said, "He has always been dissatisfied with Helian Bo and thinks that the Wuhuan people are barbaric and reckless. This is a point we can take advantage of."
The caravan continued northward, passing through several villages along the way. The villagers cast curious glances at the group of merchants, but soon went about their business. In recent years, the Wei Dynasty had enjoyed peace and prosperity, with frequent business exchanges, so no one would pay special attention to such a group of people.
Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride when he saw this scene. After he solved this matter, he would definitely bring Long Qi out to see. Mo Yuan felt that he couldn't stop thinking about Long Qi. He really missed his wife! I don’t know if Long Qi’s fever has subsided? Did you take your medicine on time?
Mo Yuan sighed softly, "Alas, I wonder if Long Qi is thinking about me?"
At this time, in the Dingbei Marquis's mansion, Long Qi was sitting in the study dealing with the account books. The housekeeper brought a bowl of bitter medicine and placed it in front of Long Qi, "Sir, it's time to drink the medicine."
Long Qi frowned as he looked at the bowl of medicine. "Put it down. I'll drink it later."
The housekeeper said with a smile: "Sir, the Marquis specifically told me before he left that I must watch you drink the medicine."
Long Qi looked at the bowl of medicine, picked it up and drank it in one gulp, then put the bowl down with a bitter face.
The butler did not expect that Long Qi would finish it in one gulp. He quickly took out the candy that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Long Qi while saying, "This is what the Marquis asked me to buy. Hurry up and put a piece in your mouth to suppress the bitterness."
Long Qi took the candy and looked into the distance, muttering to himself, "I wonder where Mo Yuan is now?"
