"Qiu'er, we finally got out, so please don't attack me everywhere. I know that you are not as good as me in terms of conspiracy and tricks, but I am not as good as you in terms of martial arts. So we complement each other and cannot live without each other. As the saying goes, a united husband and wife can achieve great things. So, Qiu'er, can you please stop attacking me like this?" Ye Chen wanted to reach out and massage Chen Qiu's shoulders to relieve his fatigue.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiu dodged away immediately and said, "Go away. It's better for someone with a criminal record like you not to touch me. Otherwise, I'd better not take a bath. I'll get more tired the more I take a bath." Then he retreated to the place farthest away from Ye Chen, covering his upper body with his hands.
"Don't block it, it's impossible to stop it. Besides, it's not like we haven't seen it before." Ye Chen said as he was about to walk towards Chen Qiu. They had played a little too much on the way, and now Ye Chen couldn't hold on any longer.
"I'll block you, you hooligan,"
"Good Qiu'er, Qiu'er, please love your husband, okay?" Ye Chen started to act like a spoiled child. Chen Qiu couldn't stand him like this. "Don't act like a spoiled child. Didn't you say we don't want another child right now? What if we get pregnant?"
Ye Chen stopped what he was doing immediately, "Qiu'er, wait a minute, I'll ask Xiao Hang to get me some contraceptive medicine."
"You...what did you say? Contraceptive pills?" Chen Qiu immediately thought of her wedding night when she heard about contraceptive pills. Seeing Chen Qiu's expression, Ye Chen knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly hugged her. "Qiu'er, Qiu'er, you misunderstood. This isn't for you, it's for me. Contraceptive pills are bad for your health. I don't want you to suffer the pain of childbirth so soon, but how can I bear the pain of you drinking contraceptive pills? So, I'll take this contraceptive pill."
After listening to Ye Chen's explanation, Chen Qiu realized that he had misunderstood. "But wouldn't it be bad for you if you drank it? After all, medicine is three parts poison. It's better not to drink it if you can. Can't you... can't you just not do it?"
"No," Ye Chen rejected Chen Qiu's suggestion without hesitation. "It takes a hundred years to cultivate to be able to ride in the same boat with you, and a thousand years to cultivate to share a bed with you. I don't want to waste a moment of time. Drinking some medicine is nothing. It won't cause any harm. I still trust Xiao Hang's medical skills. Qiu'er, wait for me. I'll be back soon." After saying that, he kissed Chen Qiu's forehead hard and ran out.
Ye Chen left quickly and came back quickly, but when he came back, he didn't take the medicine bag, but a small porcelain bottle. "Why are you back so soon? Don't you need to boil the medicine?"
"No, this one will do." Ye Chen shook the porcelain bottle in his hand, then pulled out a pill from the bottle stopper and put it directly into his mouth. He swallowed it with a roll of his tongue without drinking any water.
"This is?"
"I mentioned this to Xiao Hang when you were in confinement. He made some pills for me. I just needed to take one fifteen hours before sex. I didn't expect this guy to carry it with him." Ye Chen said as he began to take off his clothes.
When Shen Qiu heard Xiao Hang bring the medicine with him, he suddenly remembered that Ye Chen was asking for the medicine now. Did that mean Xiao Hang knew what they were doing in the house? Oh my God, how would he face people tomorrow?
But before Chen Qiu could finish her struggle, Ye Chen got into the bathtub. It was too late to say anything now.
The next day was a sunny day and the convoy set off again early in the morning. They had to travel all day and pass through the nearly 100-mile clay field in one breath, otherwise they would be stuck for several days.
The people driving the carriages on horseback were still better off, but the people following on foot were in trouble. Although they usually trained, the pace they were taking today was almost like a forced march.
"After eating at noon, we will continue on our way. We won't stay for so long. Let the riders bring them water and dry food." Ye Chen and Wang Lufeng were talking while eating dry food. They had been traveling for the whole morning. It was so hot that the soldiers could no longer bear it.
Ye Chen listened to Wang Lufeng's words and shook his head. "Although I asked Xiao Hang to prepare some medicine to relieve the heat, it's too hot today and they are all wearing thick armor. If they walk for another half day, they won't be able to bear it. Let them rest enough. We can travel at night for a while and stay in An County for a day tomorrow to let them rest well."
"My husband is right. This morning I asked the postmaster of Jinyong County, and he said that judging from the weather, there will be no rain in the near future. The locals are very familiar with the local climate. I think it can be used as a reference. We will arrive in An County later tonight. Xing'er, Xiao Hang and I will be on duty for you at night. You should have a good rest tonight and rest for another day tomorrow. We will enter Zhaoyao Mountain." Chen Qiu turned around and took over Ye Chen's words.
Chen Qiu could say this, but Wang Lufeng didn't dare to respond. Not to mention whether the three of them could guard it, if they, as soldiers, threw their things to others to look after them, they themselves would not be able to get over the hurdle.
"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am. We brothers can do it." Wang Lufeng raised his hand to express his gratitude to Chen Qiu.
"Actually, I have such a plan. Qiu'er grew up in a military camp. She knows everything you know. She can take a nap in the carriage in the afternoon and keep watch for you at night. When you wake up in the morning, Qiu'er will go back to sleep. Don't worry, Qiu'er's skills are rarely matched by anyone." In order for the soldiers behind him to better obey his orders, it is still necessary to win them over now.
Since even the Duke said so, there should be no problem. People are like this. As long as they feel that they don’t have to bear too much responsibility, they will relax a lot.
After eating the dry food at noon, those on duty and those who were not on duty found a cool place to take a nap. They still had forty or fifty miles to walk in the afternoon, which was a big project, so everyone tried to rest as much as possible.
Xiao Hang brewed some summer-heat medicine and gave each person a bowl, hoping that no one would be delayed due to heatstroke. Ye Chen rode a horse again, and Xing'er got into the carriage. She and Shen Qiu slept until the evening hour, as they had to keep watch tonight, so they needed to catch up on some sleep.
As expected, they traveled through the night today, arriving in An County at 11:00 PM. By the time they settled in at the An County posthouse, it was already past midnight. Chen Qiu, Xing'er, and Xiao Hang were on guard duty, keeping watch for the soldiers who had been traveling all day. They formed a triangle, all on the rooftop, with a panoramic view of the posthouse courtyard below them.
Wang Lufeng was worried and came out several times. "Don't worry, General Wang, we won't let anything happen to the grain. This is the grain that my husband has raised with great difficulty. I value this grain more than anyone else." Chen Qiu stood on the roof and said to Wang Lufeng who came out to check for the third time.
Wang Lufeng was not worried that the three men would not take the food seriously. Rather, he was afraid that if something happened, the three men would not be able to handle it, so he came out to check again and again.
