[Khan Chapter 11] You can see but not eat
Mobei is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. The marriage team stopped and started, and finally arrived at the post house at the foot of Juyong Mountain.
Juyong Mountain is a branch of Taihang Mountain. Taihang Mountain stretches for a thousand miles, with hundreds of ridges connected to each other, thousands of peaks standing tall, and thousands of ravines deep. The mountain starts from Henei, and from Henei to Youzhou in the north, there are hundreds of ridges, stretching across the boundaries of twelve states. Among them, Juyong Mountain has layers of peaks, majestic terrain, cliffs, huge streams in the middle, and dangerous natural openings. Juyong Pass is the throat road from the Central Plains to Mobei. Passing through this pass, you will enter the territory of Mobei.
The troops entered the official station, the centurion led the soldiers to station their horses and reorganize, while Chu Jiao was welcomed by the station master into the hall.
It was dinner time, and the station master received such a distinguished guest for the first time, so he quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal.
Chu Jiao still had no appetite, so she asked the station master to prepare the wine and meat for the hard-working soldiers, and she ordered some porridge and side dishes for herself.
Hu Luoyan came a step behind, handed the horse to his men, arranged some defenses, and then walked in and sat down next to Chu Jiao with a big knife and an axe.
"Bring another pot of wine and half a pound of pork head meat!"
Looking at the vegetarian dishes on the table, he turned his head and ordered.
Chu Jiao glanced at him lazily. This man was getting more and more presumptuous, and he simply didn't take her, a princess, seriously.
"I don't want to eat meat today."
"It doesn't matter," Huluoyan grinned, "I want to eat!"
After saying that, he picked up a chopstick and chewed it with relish.
"Princess," Huluoyan said earnestly, "Look at your small body, you can't just eat vegetables."
He looked up and down at the woman in gorgeous clothes in front of him, pausing at her chest and waist, "You have to eat more meat and grow stronger. My... my brother is counting on you to give birth to a big fat prince."
"Puff" Chu Jiao almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Give birth to your sister! Is there a "brother-in-law" who talks like you! ?
"General Tuoba, you are too nosy!" Chu Jiao scolded. Is this guy afraid that others can't tell that he is a fake? !
Huluoyan also realized that it was a bit inappropriate for him to say such things with his current status. He stroked his beard, shut his mouth in a sullen manner, and ate his meal honestly.
Although he stopped talking, Huluoyan's heart became active. He began to think about how to change back to his original status. Now, the little princess's plate of fragrant meat is dangling in front of him every day. He can only look but not eat. It is too painful!

Chu Jiao took a comfortable bath and went to bed early.
After nearly a month of ups and downs, her bones were almost broken. Now she fell into a deep sleep quickly next to the comfortable bed.
The moon was at its zenith. Huluoyan, who lived in the next room, also finished washing up. He lay on the bed with his hands as a pillow and closed his eyes to rest. He
had gone more than two-thirds of the way, and the journey was calm, but he did not let down his guard in his heart.
Although he had recovered the thirty-six tribes and unified Mobei, he was still young after all, and the way he stepped onto the throne was too bloody and cruel, so there were still some old-fashioned people who tried to maintain "orthodoxy" and jumped up and down in the court restlessly, trying to make trouble.
He left Mobei this time to replace his brother, and he wanted to deliberately expose his flaws to those annoying little bugs jumping up and down, and take this opportunity to find out the people hiding behind them.
In the darkness, Huluyan opened his eyes, and a fierce light flashed.
In the past, he let some people go and did not kill them all. Now it seems that perhaps mercy is really not suitable for him.
However, a little face with a grudge suddenly flashed through his mind, and Huluoyan's eyes softened.
He also had a queen.
His queen was very delicate, and he could not allow any insecurity to exist.
