Chapter 287: Departure to Beirong
"What's that smell?" Xie Xuan looked down at her and smelled himself at the same time.
Then he suddenly understood, "I worked up a sweat during the military training today." He looked at her with amusement, "Your nose is getting more and more picky."
Su Shengsheng really couldn't stand the sweat, dirt, and horse smell on his body.
She broke free from his arms.
"It's not my fault, but you should also improve the living conditions for the soldiers."
Although there were carriages everywhere in his fiefdom, he still had to use horses to travel to those high and dangerous places.
I never thought his smell was unbearable before...
How come recently...
As I was talking, the stuffy feeling I had this morning came back.
I came to the teahouse in the morning and they made milk skin with lime.
But when she smelled that smell, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her overreacting, Xie Xuan reluctantly moved away. "You've been sleeping soundly these past two days. Are you too tired?"
Su Shengsheng took a deep breath and then spoke, "One million gold ingots have been counted."
In fact, the liquidation was completed a few days ago, but in order to reduce the number of vehicles and avoid publicity on the road, we are waiting to exchange them for gold ingots.
When Xie Xuan thought about leaving for more than two months, his mood suddenly plummeted, and he looked depressed and didn't respond.
Su Shengsheng glanced at him and said, "Let's leave early so we can come back early."
The family has already discussed it over the past two days.
My grandfather couldn't go because the journey was too tiring.
Her father, being frail, could not go either.
So, the third brother went in place of his father.
The second branch of the family only has one male child, my second brother, so I cannot refuse.
Both my eldest uncle and eldest brother from the first house were vying to go, but my eldest uncle felt that the family needed a pillar, so he let my eldest brother stay.
After all, my sister-in-law’s child is not even one year old yet, and the family needs a man.
But the eldest brother felt that all the young people of this generation had passed away, and it was time for him to grow up.
In the end, they couldn't agree on a conclusion, so they drew lots.
It was my eldest brother who was chosen and went on a long journey with the team.
As a result, Xie Xuan was the most respected person in this team.
Although he is ranked sixth after her in terms of seniority, who can blame him for being so intimidating even without getting angry?
Of course, his prestige as the commander of the Qilin Army is also indispensable.
In fact, he had decided long ago to follow the Su family to Beirong.
After all, it is one million gold ingots. Not to mention there is an emperor with ulterior motives along the way, there is also the other half of Nanling that needs to be passed through.
Then go to that tiger and wolf den...
The most important thing is to bring the two saints back safely.
The difficulty level is comparable to launching a rocket.
After several discussions with him, the Su family finally decided to use him as a merchant to provide relief to the Su family in the three states and two other states.
This way, you don't have to carry all the gold ingots with you at once before setting off, which would attract attention.
Moreover, gold ingots from all over the country can also be sent to the three states.
They brought it along the way, saying it was relief supplies donated by three states to the other two states.
Firstly, this would allow them to sneak into the other two states quietly, evading the enemy's eyes and ears.
Secondly, you can mix the real and the fake so you can have a backup plan.
As for the brothers' leave, thanks to Xie Xuan's efforts, Lord Cui Chong has already approved it.
Moreover, it was kept secret from Emperor Gou.
Afterwards, General Han will set off later with Xie Xuan's "stand-in", parading all the way to Beirong.
Of course, if it was the real Xie Xuan, he would also be escorted by the state generals along the way.
On the return journey, General Zhang will be there to meet us.
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
But this "East Wind" is greedy for the pillow talk and would delay it for as long as possible.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, someone's face darkened.
She looked as if she was very cruel and heartless.
Su Shengsheng suppressed her frustration and walked out while saying that she had prepared a surprise for him.
This made someone raise his eyebrows in delight.
But when he returned to the palace and saw the bulletproof vest in her hand, his face became silent again.
Xie Xuan took off his cloak and then his outer robe obediently. The smile on his face froze into ice when she put on her bulletproof vest.
Su Shengsheng couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and poked his chest with her finger, "What are you thinking about?"
There is no proper behavior all day.
Xie Xuan took advantage of the situation and grasped her fingers, holding her up with one hand. "I'm about to leave, and you prepared this surprise for me?"
Su Shengsheng had no choice but to kiss him on the lips.
However, Xie Xuan, who was disgusted with his perfunctory attitude, caught him and attacked him fiercely.
"Alright, alright." Su Shengsheng really couldn't stand the smell on him and forcibly pushed him away. "It smells too bad."
Xie Xuan was unwilling to give up, so he picked her up and said, "Let's take a shower together."
Su Shengsheng was afraid that the armor would get soaked in water, so she took it off for him. However, Xie Xuan, who looked impatient, threw it away in no time.
I really have no patience at all.
Su Shengsheng glared at him angrily, "This thing can save your life in times of crisis."
Xie Xuan was only focused on the outer garment she was wearing, so he didn't care about this at all. He just casually agreed, "I'll wear it."
Seeing that his mind was not on this at all, Su Shengsheng held his hand, wanting to solemnly state that this armor was very important.
But before she could say a few words, he took her into the water.
He swallowed the rest of the instructions.
Why……
The autumn evening breeze is as cool as water.
The crescent moon hangs over the treetops, floating across the vast ocean.
…
The team setting off for Beirong has completed their rest and is ready to go.
In order not to attract attention, no farewell ceremony was prepared in front of the Su family's door.
Only Su Shengsheng was patrolling the caravan as if she was counting supplies.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother all nodded secretly to her.
This group of people are all Xie Xuan's confidants, and they are also the military dependents who survived the massacre of the Qilin Army. They are all reliable people.
The bloody incident of that year will eventually be revealed.
Countless young men were secretly wiping away tears.
He also cast a grateful look and said goodbye to Princess Xuanming who had helped this matter reach a new level.
As for the commander who looked nostalgic and pitiful.
They just pretended not to see it.
It's really disgusting.
Su Shengsheng glared at him lightly, and just as she was about to let the caravan set off, she was hugged by someone who couldn't bear it anymore.
They were at the entrance of Tangquan Tea House. Although there were not many people there early in the morning, Qingning and the others were still inside.
Who asked Mu Ze and Chu Zhao to go this time?
Of course I have to come and see you off.
"Okay, haven't we said goodbye?" Su Shengsheng was afraid that he would do something inappropriate in public, so she quickly warned him.
"Be sure to take good care of yourself." Xie Xuan tightened his arms.
The moment he left, Su Shengsheng couldn't help but hug him back and whispered in his ear, "When you come back, maybe we'll have our own child."
Xie Xuan's gloomy eyes lit up, as bright as the North Star. "Really?" He let her go excitedly and stared at her.
Su Shengsheng nodded.
It's not to give him some thoughts, but she might really be pregnant.
Although the time is short, it is impossible to confirm the diagnosis by taking the pulse.
But she had abnormal reactions for several days and her period was late.
But after that, there are still many problems to be solved.
She didn't dare give him too much hope.
But when I saw him being as happy as a child, some of my worries became less important.
Finally, his kiss fell.
Treat it like a treasure, pour all your infatuation into that kiss, "Wait for me to come back."
"good."
