Ling Yuan stared blankly at the man whose smile was as gentle as the spring breeze, and was caught off guard for a moment.

All the anger in my body disappeared without me even realizing it.

What kept echoing in my mind was——

Can Wei Jie laugh?

Wei Jie was actually smiling at her?

Wei Jie actually laughed after he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone?

Somehow, gradually, Ling Yuan suddenly felt a creepy feeling. This guy's smile was too abnormal.

No, she couldn't stay here any longer, she had to leave.

Having said that, she ran towards the carriage without hesitation. Looking at her back, Qingchen and the others stared blankly at the master who still had a smile on his lips.

"What's going on here?"

The smile on Wei Jie's lips faded slightly, and he gave the four people a cold look: "Do what you need to do!"

The four of them shrank their necks and lowered their heads, but they kept exchanging glances with each other.

Oh my God, did they see it right just now? Their master actually teased the little princess to the point where she couldn't help but collapse first?

Wei Jie glanced in the direction of the carriage, thinking of the girl's cheeks puffed up like a frog and her irritable temper. He shook his head and sighed, and could not help but curl his lips. It seemed that this girl's practice was still not enough and needed to be strengthened!

This won’t do. How can I face those people from the Wei family in the future?

"Master, the fish is ready. Do you want to send some to Madam?"

Wei Jie glanced at the fish that were roasted to a golden color and exuding an enticing aroma, and nodded: "Send two over."

If he sends it over, he will most likely throw it out directly. It would be most appropriate for Qingchen to deliver it.

Qingchen neatly took out a small clean leaf to wrap the grilled fish, walked to the carriage, and knocked on the door: "Madam, the fish is grilled."

Qingchen thought he would be treated coldly, but he didn't expect Lingyuan to directly lift the car curtain and said, "Give it to me."

Qingchen's face lit up, and he immediately handed it over: "It's a little hot, please eat slowly. By the way, when will the mud chicken be ready?"

"It will be almost done in a quarter of an hour. Don't take too long or it will dry out easily. Bury it and heat it up tomorrow morning, and you'll have breakfast."

Ling Yuan's emotions fluctuated greatly only when she was facing Wei Jie. She still had a good impression of Qingchen, who had always taken care of her, so she didn't make things too difficult for him.

Qingchen was about to ask if he should bring her some, but Lingyuan said, "These two fish are enough for me, you can have the chicken and rabbit!"

After a whole day of hard work, everyone finally had a hot meal and their appetites were whetted, even Wei Jie was no exception.

Especially when the beggar chicken and beggar rabbit were knocked out of the soil, the master and four servants around the campfire were almost all stunned.

Carefully breaking open the lotus leaves that have turned dry and yellow, the first thing that comes to your mind is the fragrance of soil, mixed with the unique scent of plants.

Then the strong aroma of meat hit them, and the five people couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Oh my god, this smells so good."

"I remember now. We also had lumps of dirt like this in the city that never sleeps. We were disgusted with them at the time. Who knew they would taste like this after we opened them?"

"So, when Madam said she could make these snacks, she wasn't just joking, but was serious?"

Several people swallowed their saliva and looked at Wei Jie, who had been silent the whole time, at the same time, "Master, Madam is so amazing!"

"It's amazing that she could come up with such a unique idea!"

"That's right, look, it's not greasy at all. The earthy smell and lotus leaves have become a kind of condiment, soaking the whole food. It smells so good!"

"If that's the case, then we'll also have good food in the future?"

As soon as Qing Chen finished speaking, he felt a hostile gaze coming towards him, and immediately explained awkwardly: "Well, what I mean is, if you follow me, you will have meat to eat, meat to eat, hehe..."

"Eat if you want to. Why so much nonsense?" After Wei Jie gave the order, who dared to say another word?

However, because there is fish in the belly, when eating Beggar's Chicken and Beggar's Rabbit, it is purely for taste.

After the meal, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening. Because we had to travel the next day, everyone went to bed early.

Qingchen and his friends had long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air, so they curled up beside the campfire and fell asleep.

Wei Jie got on the carriage naturally. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the even breathing sound coming from inside. Fortunately, the person had fallen asleep.

I don’t know if Ling Yuan did it on purpose, but he took up most of the space in the carriage.

Wei Jie had already experienced someone's sleeping posture in the past few days, and he really couldn't praise it.

He just grabbed a blanket, leaned against the corner, and closed his eyes.

Ling Yuan had a dreamless night and was woken up by the cold the next morning. In ancient times, April was the lunar month. In modern times, it would have been May and naturally not be very cold.

But in ancient times when there was no pollution, it still felt like spring, especially in the early morning and at night, when the temperature was relatively low.

The quilt on her body had moved under her belly at some point. Ling Yuan frowned and was about to pull it back on her body, but she saw a long beautiful leg pressing on it.

Looking up along the long legs, I saw Wei Jie sleeping soundly in the corner of the carriage. He was not wearing a mask, so his ferocious profile was exposed. Although I was used to seeing it, I still felt uncomfortable when I saw it suddenly.

He was casually covered with a thin blanket, which was much thinner than the one she was covering herself with. She had left it for him on purpose last night. She didn't expect that he could sleep so soundly in such a situation.

Sure enough, there is still a big difference between men and women.

In the past few days, the two of them have been alone in a space like this every day. From the initial nervousness to the numbness now, Ling Yuan feels that she seems to have reached a higher level.

She didn't know if it was because of her age, but she found that Wei Jie didn't feel uncomfortable at all when facing her.

For others, this kind of relationship might be awkward, but for her, it was no different from being with Su Yu and the others.

Unexpectedly, this man had become a part of her life without her realizing it.

Ling Yuan curled her lips in self-mockery, got out of the car quietly, went to the river to wash up, then consciously buried the chicken and rabbit left over from last night in the soil again and heated them up.

Seeing Qingchen and the others getting up, Ling Yuan waved at them: "It's still early, you guys take a rest, I'm here."

The fire was ready and she didn't need to do anything, just pick up some firewood.

They immediately looked at Ling Yuan with gratitude and accepted her kindness.

When the sun rose, Wei Jie woke up. When he saw an extra blanket on himself, he was stunned.

When they lifted the carriage curtain, they saw Ling Yuan sitting in front of the campfire fiddling with something, and Qingchen and the others also began to tidy up the carriage.

"Are you awake? If you are, go wash up quickly, as we have to travel soon."

When Ling Yuan saw him get out of the carriage, she immediately stood up and walked towards the carriage. After a few steps, she suddenly turned around and glared at him as if warning, "Don't come over here."

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Ling Yuan took a few quick steps and got on the carriage. The doors and windows were slammed shut. Without having to think, one knew where she was going.

Several grown men consciously walked far away, and Wei Jie was no exception.

Half an hour later, the few people who had eaten and drunk their fill finally set off. Due to time constraints, in the next few days, except for the time for eating and feeding the horses, they were almost always on the road.

Finally, after five days, they arrived at the territory of Yan State.

There are still two days left before reaching the capital.

Siyou Kingdom is in the west, while Yan Kingdom is in the north. Compared with the picturesque Tiandu Kingdom in the south and the mountainous and water-rich Mei Kingdom in the east, Siyou Kingdom and Yan Kingdom have relatively more grasslands and deserts.

Due to geographical limitations, the armies of Siyou and Yan are stronger than those of the other two countries, but their agricultural reserves are not as complete as those of Tiandu and Mei.

Over the years, regardless of the relationship between the four countries, they have always maintained a tacit understanding on food and troops.

Whether it was exchanging horses for food or food for horses, they had been adhering to the original persistence for many years and everything had been peaceful.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wei Jie only brought Qingchen and four others with him when he came to Yan State this time. Even if Yuhen's men discovered him, they would not do anything to him.

However, to his surprise, Yu Hen was actually waiting to greet him at the gate of the capital.

Although he did not make a big fanfare, as soon as his carriage appeared, Yu Hen actually got on his carriage so openly.

"Tsk, tsk, where's your little princess?"

Yu Hen was still wearing the same flamboyant golden clothes, but...

Ling Yuan, who was supposed to appear in the carriage, disappeared, which made Prince Yu, who was waiting here, very unhappy.

"Prince Lao Yu is concerned about my wife, so she should stay where she is."

Yu Hen's peerless phoenix eyes narrowed: "Your Highness the Phoenix King has come a long way, and you must be exhausted. How about going to my palace first?"
