Clearly, Lu Qiqi hadn't noticed the change in Song Yanqing's facial expression at all.
Lu Da never expected that Lu Qiqi would end up in the border town by a twist of fate.
After his initial joy, he noticed Song Yanqing's displeased expression.
He then realized that the ironware on this ship still needed to be transported to the military camp.
Lu Qiqi understood why Song Yanqing had asked her to come to the dock.
Each of them had their own thoughts, and they quickly stopped talking.
Seeing that the two had finally stopped talking, Song Yanqing's expression improved.
He said, "Deputy General Lu, you can leave this to the Shadow Guards. You've worked hard this time, so go back to the camp and rest."
Lu Da wanted to say that these were things he should do, but when he saw Lu Qiqi, he realized that the prince must have other things to do.
Therefore, he withdrew after receiving the order.
After Lu Da left, Lu Qiqi looked at Song Yanqing.
At that time, Song Yanqing's expression was normal, and she did not notice any emotion.
Lu Qiqi said, "Did you order An Jiu to send me to the dock so that you could store all the weapons on this ship into your spatial storage?"
Song Yanqing had already planned this, "Yes. I will have someone arrange for the unloading of this ship last."
This matter was left to the Shadow Guards to handle; no one knew what was inside the box.
Their main tactic is to deceive everyone.
Since acquiring the space, Lu Qiqi has made doing this kind of thing a daily routine.
The two of them tacitly kept the secret from anyone else.
The matter needed to be done discreetly, so it had to be done at night. Therefore, the two sat down in the cabin.
Lu Qiqi, wrapped in a cloak, sat on a low couch in the cabin and couldn't help but sneeze.
Previously, in the camp, the charcoal fire burned brightly, and my whole body felt warm.
Now, things are even worse. Not only is the wind strong by the river, but we're freezing cold inside the cabin.
Just as Song Yanqing was about to see that her nose was red, he went to the deck and asked someone to arrange charcoal.
Seeing him walk out of the cabin, Lu Qiqi didn't stop either; she thought of the fruit trees she had planted in her space.
The trees have been bearing fruit for some time now; the bright yellow tangerines, paired with the warm glow of a charcoal fire, are the perfect match for this cold winter day.
Thinking this, Lu Qiqi entered the space in the next instant.
She took a bamboo basket from the cabin and hurried to the place where oranges were planted.
The orange tree, as tall as a person, was laden with fruit.
What a bumper harvest!
Since Lu Qiqi didn't have scissors, she just broke the branch with her bare hands. Fortunately, the orange tree branch was quite brittle, so it wasn't too difficult.
Before long, she had picked a full basket of oranges and walked out of the space with light steps.
When Song Yanqing returned to the cabin, he saw Lu Qiqi's slender white hands peeling an orange and stuffing it into her mouth.
When Lu Qiqi saw him, she waved hurriedly, "Come here quickly, these oranges are so sweet!"
Upon hearing this, he seemed to have no will to move and walked toward her as if possessed.
If Song Yanqing at this moment is like King Zhou, then Lu Qiqi, holding half an orange, must be the bewitching Daji.
Lu Daji was so engrossed in the joy of the harvest that she was completely unaware of King Zhou's infatuated expression.
She fed him a segment of orange, her bright eyes blinking, her smile as radiant as a flower.
Is it sweet?
At this moment, Song Yanqing's heart was like fireworks. Even if he had bitter herbs in his mouth, he could still say "sweet" without changing his expression or skipping a beat.
As expected.
He said, "Sweet."
The two warmed themselves by the fire and ate fruit in the cabin, and time passed quickly; before they knew it, it was late at night.
Finally, it was the ship's turn. Before the Shadow Guards boarded, Lu Qiqi had already stored everything in the cabin into her spatial storage.
All that remained was an empty box.
Song Yanqing chose to do it late at night because the boats had different drafts, and it would be too obvious to put things into his space during the day.
It's not only easy to scare people, but it can also arouse suspicion.
Because the informants were kept away, the Shadow Guards had no idea that there was anything wrong with them moving empty boxes at night.
As Lu Qiqi stepped out of the cabin, a gust of north wind swept through, causing her to instinctively shrink her neck.
The cold wind blew even harder by the Yan River at night, making her want to go back into the cabin.
Seeing that she shivered, Song Yanqing realized that there was a big temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin.
He reached out and untied his cloak, draped it over Lu Qiqi, and led her to the dock, where they entered the carriage together.
At that time, the person driving the carriage had been replaced by An Yi.
On the way back to the military camp, Lu Qiqi couldn't help but sigh, "Now it's all good. We have clothes and food, so we don't have to worry about winter."
For the soldiers guarding the border, the most difficult times are the scorching heat and the freezing cold. In the dead of winter, however, the supply of food and provisions is insufficient.
Many people died of hunger and cold, freezing or starving to death.
"Yes!" Song Yanqing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as well.
They had gathered cattle, sheep, and horses on the grasslands, and now the grain and winter clothing from the Great Yu Kingdom had also arrived at the border town.
Before long, peace will surely return to the border town.
As dawn approached, even though Lu Qiqi was capable of staying up all night, she couldn't resist feeling sleepy under the warm cloak.
The carriage ride, in particular, was like a hypnotic cradle, enveloping her in a feeling of drowsiness.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
An Yi drove the carriage and arrived outside the camp.
He jumped down from the carriage and whispered to the person inside, "Your Highness, we've arrived."
Suddenly, the carriage door was pushed open.
Song Yanqing, carrying a dark cloak, stepped down from the carriage and walked straight into the military camp.
An Yi watched his departing figure and peered into the carriage.
At that time, the carriage was completely empty.
Only then did An Yi realize what was happening. His young master was carrying Princess Kangle back to the military camp!
For some reason, the thought of "How can I be so righteous?" suddenly popped into his mind.
Song Yanqing carried a woman into the military camp, attracting the attention of countless soldiers.
In less than an hour, the news had spread throughout the camp.
Back at the military camp, Song Yanqing sent Lu Qiqi back to her tent so that she could sleep peacefully.
The women's tents are different from the men's; even without rouge and powder, there is a faint fragrance in the tents.
Lu Qiqi, who was used to dealing with herbs, naturally had a faint medicinal fragrance in her tent, which was refreshing to the senses.
Song Yanqing gently placed her on the bed and untied the rope around her neck.
The red rope came undone with a gentle tug.
But his heart, like the red string in his hand, suddenly slowed down by half a beat.
Lu Qiqi, fast asleep, felt her nose itchy from the white fox fur of the cloak and let out a soft murmur in her sleep.
Seeing her rosy cheeks, Song Yanqing reached out and gently placed his hand on her cheek.
He simply placed his hand on it lightly, not daring to touch it.
Because he had been handling weapons for many years, his hands were covered in calluses, and even his fingertips were rough. He was afraid of hurting her and waking her up.
Song Yanqing did not stay in Lu Qiqi's tent for long. The grain and winter clothes had been transported back to the camp last night, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with.
Therefore, even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to withdraw his hand and leave the tent.
