The team walked for several days and finally arrived at the next city.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the group disguised themselves as a caravan.
After meeting up with the division, the team rested for a few days, purchased some necessities, and continued on their journey.
After riding in a carriage for several days, Muqin felt that he couldn't go on like this.
The carriage gradually slowed down and soon stopped.
Muqin stretched her lazy waist, opened the curtain, and saw her husband walking towards her just after getting off the horse.
Fu Yuting came over, reached out to help her husband get off the carriage, and held his waist considerately when putting him down.
Xylophone followed suit and moved his somewhat weak legs.
"Are you okay?" Fu Yuting asked concernedly.
On the first day of the journey, Fu Yuting carried her husband out of the carriage and let him go because she didn't understand.
Little did he know that his husband's legs were weak after sitting in a carriage all day, and he almost fell down when he let go of the xylophone.
Later, Fu Yuting became more careful and attentive when taking care of her husband.
"It's okay." Muqin shook her head, "Husband, I don't want to ride in the carriage later."
"If you don't want to sit, don't sit."
After a whole morning's journey, the team stopped to rest near noon and eat something to replenish their energy.
Not long after, the hunting team returned, each carrying several hares or pheasants, and eight people carried two large wild boars.
"Come and help! This wild boar is big enough for us to have a meal!"
The soldiers swarmed around the two wild boars.
Those who were making fire were doing so, and those who were processing the wild boars were also doing so in an orderly manner.
Fortunately, the place where they stopped to rest was close to a river, which was convenient.
"Hey, there are still so many eggs. How many chicken nests did you take out?"
"Go away! I gave this to the generals and military advisors. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Zheng Yan waved his hand to drive away the few people who came to his side, then walked over to the general with a big bag of eggs.
"General, this is the egg I found. It's for your wife and military advisor to nourish their bodies." Zheng Yan carefully put the egg down and said to the general with a silly smile on his face.
Fu Yuting nodded at him, but Muqinyi called him and brought him two cans of hot sauce.
"This spicy sauce is appetizing. General Zheng, take it and try it with other soldiers."
This hot sauce was made by Muqinyi and Liangxia a few days ago.
In the past, Muqin had no appetite every summer, so one time Fu Yuting asked the servants to make some sour plum sauce.
So, the bored Muqin and the maid played the drums together to make something, and this hot sauce was one of them.
"This..." Zheng Yan glanced at the general subconsciously, "This is so embarrassing."
Although he said so, Zheng Yan took it over swiftly.
Zheng Yan had seen generals smear something from a jar on the meat when they were grilling. The aroma immediately filled the air and captivated their souls.
However, due to the general's expressionless face and a glance that could freeze you, no one else dared to speak.
As I smelled the aroma and swallowed my saliva, I suddenly felt that the barbecue in my hand was not fragrant anymore.
I never thought that giving a bag of eggs to the general's wife would give me two cans of delicious food in return.
Zheng Yan wondered what he should give to the general's wife next time.
"This isn't worth much. If you're done eating, General Zheng can come back."
"Then I won't be polite." When Zheng Yan heard that there was more after eating, he immediately smiled and looked even more silly.
"By the way, Madam, just call me Daniu. General Zheng sounds weird." Zheng Yan touched his head and said embarrassedly.
The general's wife looked thin and weak, and Zheng Yan subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Cough." Fu Yuting, who was grilling meat nearby, suddenly coughed lightly.
Hearing the general's light cough, Zheng Yan suddenly had an idea. He quickly ended the conversation with the general's wife and ran away with the two cans of hot sauce.
The soldiers who had been secretly watching the general for a long time, when they saw Zheng Yan coming back, they all rushed up and surrounded him.
"Daniu, I just saw General Husband gave you two cans of something. What is that?"
“Daniel, good things should be shared!”
"Yes, yes, yes! Take it out and show it to us!"
"Huh? What are you pushing for? If you keep pushing, things will fall off!" Zheng Yan grabbed two bottles of hot sauce and squeezed next to Lin Jun.
Soon, the aroma of meat mixed with spicy sauce filled the air.
The original conversation stopped, and when I looked up, I saw that the soldiers were all busy eating.
"It smells so good, my husband..." Muqin Yi also smelled the unique aroma of the hot sauce and looked at his husband eagerly.
"No." Facing her husband's expectant eyes, Fu Yuting refused without hesitation.
Seeing her husband's instantly disappointed look because of his refusal, Fu Yuting explained to him, "Your stomach is not good, and you have to ride a horse in the afternoon. You can eat after you arrive in Jincheng."
"Okay..." Muqin Yi also knew that her husband was doing this for his own good, so he didn't mention it again.
At this time, Fu Siqin brought two bowls of soup over, "Father, Mom, have some egg soup."
"Qin'er, have you drunk yet?" As soon as Muqin saw his son coming over, he took the bowl from his hand with a smile.
“I’ve drunk it.”
After giving the other bowl to his father, Fu Siqin sat next to his grandfather, waiting for his father's barbecue.
Soon, the meat was roasted, and Fu Yuting left a chicken leg and a rabbit leg for his son.
Slice the remaining barbecue, put it on a plate, then take it to your husband, and the couple eat together.
Considering the nutritional balance, there are also some roasted vegetables on the plate.
Fu Siqin was no longer surprised by his father's different treatment.
After taking out the hot sauce and brushing it on the barbecue, Fu Siqin began to enjoy his lunch.
Well, the meat grilled by my father is quite fragrant. The crispy outer layer coated with spicy sauce is delicious!
Zheng Yan sent a lot of eggs. Muqin and his two sons kept six and gave the rest to others.
During the meal break, the shadow guards hiding in the dark also found a place to eat.
The masters didn't need them to serve, so there were four maids and two servants, one of whom took care of the old butler, while the others moved out things and started cooking.
Today's main course is lotus seed porridge, accompanied by scrambled eggs with wild vegetables and barbecue.
After the porridge is cooked, it is sent to the masters first, then to the military advisors, and the rest is theirs.
On the side of military advisor Shen Qing, besides himself who was a human, there were six shadow guard ghosts. With the help of their master, the six people all solidified their soul bodies and could appear in front of people for six hours every day.
Before his death, Hei Liu's job was to protect the military advisor and take care of his daily life. Therefore, he took care of Shen Qing, who was unable to move, all the way.
For some purpose, Shen Qing did not refuse.
As for the other five people, as ghosts they didn't need to eat, so they were bored and helped the other Shadow Guard brothers cook.
After lunch, I took a short break, then saw that it was about time, so I packed up my things and continued on my way.
Fu Yuting pulled the horse over, mounted it first, then leaned forward and lifted her husband up with one hand.
Riding a horse for the first time, Muqin was a little nervous. “Where should I grab?”
"No, don't be afraid." Fu Yuting whispered soothingly, clasping one hand in front of him.
Fu Yuting's arms were strong and powerful, and the xylophone, which was fixed in his arms, suddenly felt at ease.
Since we were not in a hurry and did not need to ride too fast, Xylophone adapted well.
The cool breeze blew on his face, and the big trees on both sides quickly retreated. Muqin felt a lot more relaxed.
The team marched for a while, and the scenery around them was the same. Muqinyi's excitement gradually subsided.
Leaning her back against that strong chest, Muqin rested her head on his shoulder, raised her head and looked to the left, staring at her husband's handsome profile without blinking.
Fu Yuting naturally felt the young man's fiery gaze.
As he watched, Muqin Yi became a little absent-minded.
However, the inner side of her thighs that were rubbed began to feel hot. Muqin frowned, thought about it, and decided to endure it.
After walking for about another kilometer, the stinging sensation became more and more obvious.
Xylophone couldn't help but said, "Husband..."
"Um?"
Xylophone adjusted his position, trying to find a more comfortable posture, "How long do we have to walk?"
"It'll take another two hours." Fu Yuting could vaguely hear the forbearance in her husband's voice.
I looked down at him and saw that he was frowning as if he was enduring something. "What's wrong?"
"I...my thigh hurts." Muqin said a little embarrassedly.
Forgetting that people who ride horses for the first time will feel a little uncomfortable, Fu Yuting looked a little regretful, "It was my negligence."
"Turn around and hug me."
Muqin, who didn't understand what was going on, turned around and hugged him obediently when she heard what her husband said.
The next second, Fu Yuting hugged her husband tightly, slapped the horse with her right palm and jumped up, turned around and changed direction, and landed on the carriage in a few leaps.
She opened the car curtain and went in with her husband in her arms.
Fu Yuting's horse continued to run in the team as if it was used to it.
As for Muqin, she had not reacted until she entered the carriage and was placed on the soft quilt by her husband.
After finding the ointment, Fu Yuting turned around and saw that her husband was still in a daze.
"Why haven't you come to your senses yet?" Fu Yuting stretched out his right hand and touched his face. His deep voice sounded even gentler in the quiet carriage.
Muqin rubbed his palm subconsciously, her cheeks flushed, "I just think my husband is so amazing..."
Against the backdrop of the broad palm, Muqinyi's face looked a little small.
"So...my husband was stunned?" Fu Yuting chuckled.
However, he also enjoyed the look in his young husband's eyes when he looked at him.
Obsessed, worshipful, passionate, and focused.
After being exposed by her husband, Muqin felt embarrassed and turned her eyes away, not daring to look at him.
Seeing the young man's flushed cheeks and watery eyes, Fu Yuting sighed, but finally helped him apply the medicine.
Then he let him lie down and rest while he went out.
It’s a pity that we have to hurry now.
Two months later, the team arrived at their final destination - Jincheng.
