Chapter 35 Prairie
“But later, when the war came and we were given orders in times of crisis, we knew what we really should do.”
"Compared to wandering the world..." Chu Mo lowered his eyes, stared into the amber eyes, and said slowly: "I think it's better to guard the border."
"Even at the border, the people still live and work in peace and contentment, and the streets are still bustling and prosperous. For me, that is quite satisfying. Little guy, you are not in vain. Young people can be unrestrained and unrestrained, and young people can also be unrestrained and free."
"Back then, Dasui was not strong and had to resort to extraordinary means to regain peace. And I..." The young man smiled deeply and said softly, "I want Dasui to not have to marry the princess off or sign an unequal treaty to regain peace."
"Princess Dasui is a noble and pampered princess. She shouldn't be wronged like this."
Jing Xuan was stunned and looked at him blankly.
The young man raised his eyes and looked towards the grassland. His romantic and affectionate peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were instantly filled with hostility: "If no one offends our dynasty, Dasui will not take the initiative to destroy the peaceful situation. But if someone offends our dynasty, Dasui's cavalry will definitely trample all over the grassland!"
Jing Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank and she looked at Chu Mo steadily. After a while, she smiled with relief.
[Chu Xiaomo, I actually feel sorry for you. Originally you just wanted to be an arrogant young man, but now you have to become a general to guard the border. Although respected and honored, it restrains one's nature. 】
【I have always thought that you were unwilling. 】
[But...I was wrong.] 】
——Young people will never be like young people.
In fact, this is reasonable. Who can really look like a teenager?
Every age group has its own responsibilities.
When he is young, he can be carefree, but as a young man he should shoulder his own mission.
Countless people felt sorry for Chu Mo. Wen Zhixun felt that Chu Mo had sacrificed too much for the country. Jing Ce said that Chu Mo killed his younger self.
In fact, Chu Mo has never felt any regret or regret.
He never thought about going back to his youth. What he missed was that his father was still alive. What he wanted was for his father to see him as he is now.
He became the number one general of Dasui and protected the vast mountains and rivers of Dasui. He did it all.
But Chu Yi couldn't see it after all.
"So... little guy, I really like myself now." Chu Mo looked into those clear amber eyes and smiled gently.
The young man had waist-length hair with a few strands naturally hanging in front of his forehead. He lowered his eyes to look at her with tenderness and doting. The smile in his eyes made Jing Xuan's heart beat faster and faster, and she even wanted to stay like this forever.
Chu Mosheng is a very good person, and Jing Yu has always known it.
However, at this moment, she felt that the simple four words "well-born" were no longer enough to describe Chu Mo.
He is really very nice.
Jing Xuan suddenly felt a little envious, envious of the girl that Chu Mo liked.
How does Chu Mo treat the person he likes?
It must be quite gentle.
The little princess's thoughts were getting weirder and weirder. Chu Mo frowned and was about to speak when he saw the servant walk in: "Master, everything is ready."
Chu Mo responded and took the bag. He heard the little princess excitedly howling in her heart: [Ahhhh, we can go to the grassland now! ! Go to the grassland! ! ! 】
The sound was so loud that Chu Mo subconsciously dodged and smiled helplessly.
He looked at the servant: "Are you all ready?"
Chu Hai clasped his fists and said, "Yes, there are secret guards following us along the way."
Chu Mo said calmly: "If something goes wrong, you know what to do."
"Don't worry, master!" Chu Hai said solemnly.
Chu Mo waved his hand and Chu Hai went down.
Jing Xuan looked at his back as he left, and her heart felt clear.
Ever since the accident when she was six years old, every time she left the palace, countless secret guards would follow her to protect her.
This time, although we don't know her identity, Chu Mo's identity is not simple either. Although he is powerful, it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows. It is always right to be more vigilant.
But she didn't know that Chu Mo arranged so many secret guards not for himself, but for her.
Chu Mo knew that Jing Yu was good at martial arts, but now that the little princess had turned into a kitten and had lost the ability to protect herself, she would be in even greater danger. Without making full preparations, Chu Mo did not dare to take her to the grassland.
There were many grassland people lurking in Yunan Pass. Chu Mo did not change clothes inside the pass. If someone saw him, they would know his destination.
Therefore, Chu Mo took Jing Xuan out of the retreat and walked for a long distance. When Chu Hai came to report, they found a place to change into grassland clothes.
Compared with the clothes in the Central Plains, the tight-fitting suit perfectly shows his broad shoulders, narrow waist and first-class figure.
His tall and upright figure, slender and powerful limbs and broad and strong chest are all quite eye-catching.
On weekdays, Chu Mo always wore a black robe, but now he was dressed in a white suit, giving him the feeling of a gentleman as graceful as jade and with a figure as graceful as bamboo.
Her long, thick black hair was tied up high with a silver hair crown, with a few strands of hair falling on her temples. Her eyes were curved, her eyebrows were less sharp, and there was a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.
He was riding on a tall horse, and at a casual glance he looked full of vigor and high spirits.
——The young Chu Mo was dressed in white and had a pair of peach blossom eyes, which made the girls in Beijing scream and fall in love with him.
Jing Xuan raised her eyes and looked at him blankly.
This angle alone is so stunning. I can’t even imagine what the young Chu Mo would look like when he’s winking at someone.
[Ah~ I wish Chu Xiaomo could just give me a wink. 】
Chu Mo: “…”
Indifferent and ignored.
Because the little princess said she wanted to see him when he was young, Chu Mo foolishly asked someone to prepare it and even tied his hair like this. Just thinking about it, he felt suffocated by shame.
If seen by someone he knows, Chu Mo will definitely kill that person.
However, seeing the little princess so happy, he felt relieved.
This is also good, as people on the grassland may not be able to recognize it when they see it.
Chu Mo did not ride his old comrade, but instead rode a particularly good-looking white horse.
The white horse was not as white as Jing Xuan, but it was also very clean, probably because it had been washed in advance. Its body was relatively not that strong, and its temper was very gentle. When it saw the kitten, it even touched her with its head.
Jing Xuan was a little worried at first, but under Chu Mo's protection, she boldly rubbed against the horse to express her friendliness.
Chu Mo watched from the side and found it funny.
This horse is also lucky, as it is rubbed by the most favored little princess of Dasui.
He didn't think that he was luckier as he was rubbed by the kitten countless times.
Anyway, after expressing their friendship, they were ready to go.
Chu Mo held Jing Xuan in one hand, flipped over swiftly, and sat steadily on the horse's back.
Jing Xuan can ride a horse and doesn't feel afraid. She even wishes she could hold the reins herself.
The man behind her saw the little princess's desire, glanced at her pink little plum blossom claws, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Little guy, it's time to go." He laughed loudly.
"Meow!"
【Set off! 】
The soft voice was full of excitement, and the words sounded like orders.
The general couldn't help laughing a few times and said in a low voice: "Go."
This is the outskirts of the grassland, the grass is relatively not that lush, and there are not many people.
A few scattered people watched a rather beautiful white horse galloping past. The rider was a man in white clothes, with long hair tied into a ponytail that kept sweeping over his shoulders. His back was straight and handsome. The horse passed by very quickly, leaving behind only a burst of hearty laughter and a few faint cat calls.
“Meow meow meow!!!”
[Wow wow wow wow wow!] ! ! 】
The little princess can only cry.
The smile on Chu Mo's lips deepened.
It had been a long time since he had felt so relaxed and comfortable like this, and he was very happy.
Chu Mo held the reins with one hand and held the kitten tightly with the other, galloping on the endless grassland. The breeze blowing against the wind mixed with the fragrance of grass made people feel indescribable joy.
But what’s even more enjoyable is…
Chu Mo lowered his eyes and glanced at the kitten that was happily shaking its head and tail, and his heart softened.
For a long time, people riding war horses were either fighting in wars or on the way to wars. It seemed that mentioning war horses meant war and killing.
But because of the warm and heavy little ball in his arms, the warhorse had transported the goods and was buried tightly in the burden. Now, it was used as a sightseeing mount.
Although he felt sorry for the war horse, he was really happy.
He thought that riding a warhorse was not necessarily for bloody killing, it could also be for making the little princess happy.
Thinking of this, Chu Mo retracted his arms and hugged the kitten tighter.
Jing Xuan was completely unaware and was immersed in the joy and excitement of galloping on horseback.
She is free and playful by nature. She would also go to the horse farm when she was in the capital, but the two were completely different. She really liked riding horses on the grassland.
[It’s a pity that I can’t ride it myself.] 】
Jing Yu thought.
Chu Mo lowered his eyes and glanced at him without saying anything.
[But it’s also very nice to have Chu Xiaomo holding her! ! 】
The young man laughed out loud.
The little princess is always like this, always making him smile unconsciously.
Chu Mo did not speed all the way. After a while, his speed gradually slowed down.
This is the real grassland area, with endless grass and the vast blue sky in sight.
Jing Yu widened her eyes and looked around curiously.
After Chu Mo got off the horse, he put her on the grass. The latter then ran forward with her short legs like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
“Meow meow meow!!”
[Wow wow wow wow!] 】
It was obvious that the little princess was still excited and was howling with joy in her heart.
Chu Mo didn't feel annoyed and followed her with big strides, leading the horse.
Jing Xuan wore new clothes today, and she felt a little awkward when running, but it didn't affect her mood at all.
When stepping on the lush grass, my little paws didn’t hurt at all, but even felt a little itchy.
Jingxuan was not ticklish. She ran around and had a lot of fun.
Chu Mo crossed his arms, bent one of his long legs and touched the ground with his toes. Because his head was slightly tilted, the ends of his hair gently fell on his shoulders, and his peach blossom eyes were filled with a gentle smile, which was quite eye-catching.
Jing Yu looked up at him and couldn't help but think: [Chu Mo is so handsome~]
Since he was young, Chu Mo knew that he was good-looking and he used to be proud of it, but now he no longer cares about his appearance.
However, after hearing the little princess' praise every day, he almost became as complacent as his younger self.
The little princess praised him and turned around to play around.
When he arrived here, there were more people from the grassland. Chu Mo squinted his eyes, looked at them, took out a mask and put it on.
The mask only covered the upper half of his face, revealing the tip of his nose, lips and smooth jawline. Even so, it still did not hide Chu Mo's outstanding appearance.
More and more people were looking over here. Chu Mo took a few steps forward, picked up the kitten, and said softly, "Can we change places?"
Jing Yu was not a stupid person, she quickly understood what Chu Mo meant and said softly: "Meow~"
Chu Mo rode on the white horse again and left.
Although they had left, Chu Hai and the secret guards who were protecting in the dark carefully observed everyone. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, they followed Chu Mo again.
Next, Chu Mo took Jing Xuan to travel around and see the vast grassland and clear river water.
Chu Mo said he would take her to see the rippling waves under the scorching sun, and Jing Yu saw it.
It is really beautiful, like a huge silver mirror, sparkling with tiny ripples in the sun, as if countless pearls were spread on the river surface.
The clear river water reflects the surrounding trees, flowers, and white clouds in the sky, and there are even fish at the bottom of the river.
Jing Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up and she almost fell into the river.
Chu Mo quickly pulled her back and said with a helpless smile: "Be careful."
“Meow meow!!”
【fish! There's fish! ! 】
The little princess's love for fish was unmatched, and he suddenly understood why she had turned into a kitten.
If Jing Xuan wants to eat, Chu Mo will definitely make it for her: "Wait."
The young man uttered two words in a casual manner, then rolled up his trouser legs. Since there was no one here, he took off his mask.
“Meow!”
【careful! 】
The river was not deep. After entering the water, it just reached Chu Mo's thighs. Looking at that pair of strong and straight legs, Jing Yu's thoughts changed color: [Oh my, so shy~]
While saying shy in her heart, she stared at me with her amber cat eyes.
Chu Mo: “…”
He nearly slipped in the water, shaking his head in a mixture of amusement and anger.
Chu Mo put aside his thoughts, holding a wooden stick he picked up casually, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and his eyes were suddenly filled with fierceness.
The next moment, the young man raised his hand and picked up a fish easily.
The fish fell heavily in a curve beside Jing Xuan, and it continued to swing after falling.
The kitten meowed excitedly and circled around the fish, as if it had caught it itself. It was extremely happy.
Soon, several fish fell beside him. Chu Mo in the river casually lifted his long hair that was hanging in front of him behind him, glanced at the fish on the shore, and estimated that it was almost time.
After getting ashore, someone who thought the little princess would wag her tail to greet him looked up, only to see that the little foodie's mind and eyes were full of those fishes, and he was circling around them.
Chu Mo laughed helplessly, and had a clear understanding of his position.
Without further ado, he went forward to process the fish.
If Chu Mo was eating by himself, he wouldn't be too particular, but the little princess wouldn't.
He carefully removed the internal organs and cleaned it thoroughly, and all he had to do was start roasting it.
But what if there is no fire?
Almost the next moment, several figures suddenly jumped out, scaring Jing Yu.
When he looked carefully, he saw Chu Hai and several secret guards stacking the firewood they had obtained and placing a few small bottles and jars.
Chu Mo: "Let's get some food."
Chu Hai and his companions clasped their fists and accepted the order.
Chu Mo picked out some suitable wood, washed it, skewered the fish one by one, started a fire with a fire starter, and started roasting the fish.
A "crackling" sound was heard. Chu Mo's technique was very skillful. After a while, the fragrance filled the air and came to Jing Yu's face. Jing Yu's eyes were wide open.
Chu Mo couldn't help laughing out loud: "Little greedy."
Jing Xuan did not struggle and accepted the title openly.
[My royal brother said, being able to eat is a blessing.] 】
Chu Mo thought to himself: This is something he could say.
After a while, the fish's skin changed color, and Chu Mo picked up a few small bottles and cans and sprinkled them on the fish.
Suddenly, the taste became even more fragrant.
Jing Yu felt like she was drooling.
