Chapter 169 Too Fierce
Zhou Zhilan took Gu Huan for a few rides at the Yongguo Mansion's horse farm, and she was already able to ride by herself holding the reins.
But the horse was too tall and the road was very uneven. Gu Huan was a little scared sitting on the horse and didn't dare to let go and run at all.
Naturally, Mu Junyan didn't dare to let her go and let her run away by herself. After all, she was a war horse with a fierce temper.
He held the reins and walked slowly.
After walking for a short distance, I found Gu Huan twisting her hips, frowning, and looking like she was out of breath.
He stopped his horse and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Huan hesitated and refused to say anything, gritting her teeth.
Mu Junyan suddenly thought of the reason, and held her waist with his big hand, and asked in a low voice: "Is your waist sore?"
Gu Huan's ears blushed and she said nothing.
Mu Junyan felt a little guilty. He lost control of himself last night and didn't consider how tired she was from the long journey.
He opened his arms towards Gu Huan: "I'll carry you down, and we'll ride again in two days."
Gu Huan's buttocks were indeed sore from being rubbed, and her legs were sore and weak, so she gave up trying to hold on and hugged his shoulders, and he carried her off the horse like a child.
She immediately relaxed her brows, took his arms, and hugged his waist tightly from the side, as if she was being clamped by his armpits.
I looked up and was about to laugh, but found that he suddenly bared his teeth and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Gu Huan quickly let go, "You..."
She suddenly thought of something and grabbed him in panic: "Are you hurt? Did I touch your wound?"
"No, you're too heavy." Mu Junyan avoided her hand.
"Am I heavy?" Gu Huan pointed at her nose.
Where is she heavier?
Although she is plump in some places, she is still thin overall.
Obviously before, he held her like a chick.
Mu Junyan led the horse towards the stable.
Gu Huan stared at his back with a frown.
Only then did I realize that there was something wrong with his walking posture. His back was not as straight as before and seemed very stiff.
She quickened her pace to catch up with him and patted him on the back. Unexpectedly, his back stiffened and he turned around to look at her.
Gu Huan immediately noticed that he frowned, and she was sure that something was wrong.
Mu Junyan seemed to sense that she noticed something, and quickly regained his composure. He held her hand and walked away while saying, "I'll ask them to cook you a bowl of chicken noodle soup tonight. The chickens here don't walk on the ground, they fly in the sky. The meat may not taste good, but the soup must be delicious."
Gu Huan leaned on his arm and looked up at him carefully.
The more I looked at him, the more I felt something was wrong; his face was a little pale.
Gu Huan grabbed his hand, stood still and looked at him with a frown: "No, you are injured! Let me see."
As he said this, he was about to reach out to untie his belt.
Mu Junyan blocked her hand: "What are you thinking about? Now that we are at a truce, how could I be injured?"
Gu Huan didn't believe it.
A gust of wind blew, and Gu Huan suddenly smelled a faint smell of medicine and blood.
A thought suddenly came to my mind.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide: "What did you do so early this morning?"
Mu Junyan's expression remained unchanged: "I'm going to take the soldiers to train."
He grabbed her and was about to continue walking: "Let's send the horse back, and then we'll go back to eat noodles, so that you can taste that our big pot can also make delicious food."
"You...are you going to take the whipping for me?" Gu Huan stubbornly grabbed his hand and forced him to turn to her.
She reached out to touch his thick belt, brushed her hands across his waist, and went around his back to untie it.
Mu Junyan was caught off guard and was pushed back by her, until he leaned against a tree.
Seeing the stubborn look on the little girl's face, she was determined not to give up until he untied his belt.
Mu Junyan had no choice but to hold her hand. He couldn't help laughing and whispered, "If you want to untie your husband's belt, you have to wait."
For husband?
Gu Huan was angry, and he was teasing her at this time.
"No, right now, immediately."
The little girl showed a domineering expression for the first time. Mu Junyan raised his eyebrows and looked ahead: "Are you sure you want to untie my belt here and look at my body?"
This is said... so ambiguously.
Gu Huan was furious: "I am concerned about you."
"Well, yes, I know you care, but..."
He held both sides of her head with his hands and slowly turned her to the side: "It seems... in public, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it's a bit inappropriate, right?"
Only then did Gu Huan notice that there was a team of patrolling soldiers staring at them in amazement.
Everyone's face had colorful expressions.
Shock, admiration, amazement...
The Duke's concubine is so fierce that she even stripped off the Duke's clothes in public. She is so powerful that it is no wonder that she managed to break free of the Duke's stubborn heart.
Thinking about the various versions of the commander-in-chief's marriage that have been circulating in the army recently, the unanimous content is that the commander-in-chief did not like the young lady from a prominent family in the capital. He kept himself clean and abstinent for decades, but was conquered by a petite and charming young lady.
Many soldiers had seen this concubine this morning, and they all said that she looked like a fairy from heaven, simple and lovely, and not at all like a seductive person.
They were all talking about how the coach liked little girls who were as pure as white flowers.
But this...
It turned out to be a creature covered with small white flowers, as fierce as a tigress.
Gu Huan’s whole body stiffened.
Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she quickly retracted her hand and subconsciously threw herself into Mu Junyan's arms to cover her face!
Mu Junyan chuckled and wrapped the person in his cloak.
I heard the little woman snort angrily: "Why didn't you remind me? It's so embarrassing."
Mu Junyan was amused: "I asked you to wait, but you insisted on taking it off right away. Can I stop you?"
Gu Huan was furious, but she was too embarrassed to look up, so she could only grit her teeth and groan, "Let them go quickly."
Mu Junyan simply hugged the person and touched his little head: "Who was so fierce just now? Are you shy now?"
Gu Huan was so angry that she pinched his waist secretly and said, "Hurry up."
Mu Junyan bared his teeth, then regained his serious expression and looked at the patrol soldiers: "What? Is the patrol over?"
A group of people came back to their senses and quickly turned their faces away. The leading protector waved his hand and said, "Continue patrolling."
A group of people were originally walking in a slow rhythm of one, two, one.
With the quick rhythm of one, two, one, two, he stepped on a trail of dust and disappeared in a flash.
Gu Huan pricked up her ears and listened until the footsteps could no longer be heard. Then she slowly moved her face, revealing one eye from her cloak.
He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Are they really all gone?"
Mu Junyan lowered his head, looked at the ostrich peeking out from his arms, and suppressed a smile: "Does it feel good to hold your husband?"
Gu Huan's face suddenly turned red. She quickly let go of her hand, took a step back, and turned her head around quickly.
The soldiers in the stables in the distance were looking over, but they probably couldn't see the situation here clearly.
He turned around and glared at the guy who was chuckling, stomped his feet, turned around and ran towards the big tent.
After running two steps, he did not forget to turn around and shouted in a stingy voice: "Come back quickly."
Mu Junyan adjusted his belt with a smile, waved to the soldiers in the stable, loosened the reins, and strode after the girl who was running like a rabbit.
Gu Huan rushed into the big tent, her face still burning.
He covered his face with his hands and stamped his feet in anger.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming, I quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that meals were being served everywhere.
Mu Junyan was inspecting the dining situation in each account.
Mu Junyan usually ate with the soldiers and did not cook on his own. But when Gu Huan came, he was worried that Gu Huan, who was used to eating fine grains, would not be able to swallow coarse grains, so he specifically ordered noodles to be cooked for her separately.
The so-called chicken is actually a flying bird in the sky. Its meat is tough and not tasty, but it can be used to make soup.
After a while, Akabane came over with a food box and saw her lifting the curtain and looking around.
"Ma'am, it's time for dinner."
Gu Huan glanced at the food box, then looked at the soldier squatting on the ground eating.
They all ate the black steamed buns with pickles.
In winter, there are no good vegetables to eat in southern Xinjiang.
She thought of the white porridge she had drunk in the morning and felt bad.
"Where is the Duke?"
"The Duke usually eats with the soldiers. He is in the sick camp. This is the chicken noodle soup made especially for you."
Gu Huan saw him open the lid of the lunch box, revealing a bowl of steaming chicken noodle soup.
"Take me to him."
Gu Huan walked out of the big tent.
Akabane was surprised, but had no choice but to do as he was told and took her to the wounded soldiers' tent.
