Chapter 5



The beautiful life that time travelers yearn for

The strange atmosphere between the two was broken by a polite voice outside the door.

"Excuse me, is this Master Yue's residence?"

The man who came was a burly man in black clothes, carrying a weapon on his back that was obviously larger than an ordinary sword, and he had a very rough face.

His face looked even more hideous because of a scar that ran from his left forehead to his right cheek.

Although Liu Buqi, who was the first to walk out of the room, was frightened by the ferocious appearance of the person in front of her, she was "well-informed" (mainly because she had watched a lot of horror movies), so she took it in stride after getting used to it a little!

This made the visitor and Yue Lingxi who came out later look at him with new respect!

After all, although there were not too many restrictions on women in this era, there would not be many women who could talk freely when facing warriors on the battlefield, especially warriors like Zhang Xiruo who had horrific knife wounds on their faces.

That’s right, the man at the door was called Zhang Xiruo. A five-foot-tall man, he had a gentle and somewhat weak name, which gave Liu Buqi many opportunities to tease him in the future.

As a guard sent by Yue Lingxi's mother's family to protect him, Zhang Xiruo no longer looked strange when he entered the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on one knee.

"Master, the Patriarch ordered me to come and serve! Also, the Patriarch asked me to tell you..."

Before he finished speaking, he leaned over to look at Liu Buqi who was listening attentively with her ears perked up, and coughed lightly. This ignorant and fearless woman didn't react at all, and even smacked her lips, as if she was still not satisfied!

"Just say it!" Until the young master spoke, Zhang Xiruo took a deep look at the concubine who dared to pry into the master's secrets!

We must re-examine the position of this woman in the young master's heart!

"The head of the family said that the time is not right yet. The Taiyue Imperial Family is conducting a large-scale investigation, so they cannot take you back home for the time being! I hope you understand!"

Yue Lingxi nodded slightly without changing his expression.

"Also, the head of the family asked me to bring some Huijin Pills here. We've already bribed the border troops here! You can rest assured that you can recover!"

After conveying the words of the head of the family, Zhang Xiruo respectfully placed a porcelain vase on the table beside him, then quietly lowered his head and knelt on the ground. He could not stand up without Yue Lingxi's order!

But Yue Lingxi obviously had no intention of letting him stand up. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before slowly speaking:

"Go contact the border military officer and ask him to arrange for us to stay at the horse ranch. It's sparsely populated there, and you can move in with us to avoid the crowds! Go ahead."

After seeing Zhang Xiruo off, Liu Buqi, unable to contain his excitement any longer, jumped back!

"Big secret! Big secret! I was wondering how someone who could travel through time could be as unlucky as me! I became a concubine for the purpose of getting married, a child bride, and was even exiled to the frontier!"

"My cheap little husband is clearly the son of a powerful force! According to the usual plot, he should be sleeping on straw and tasting gall or waiting for the right opportunity, and then he will make a big splash. Naturally, I will soar to the sky as well, and everything will go smoothly from then on!"

He walked into the room with a silly smile on his face, but what he saw was Yue Lingxi's hands unconsciously playing with the porcelain vase on the table and his face was extremely cold!

Liu Buqi's enthusiasm for Fengming Tianxia was suddenly dashed!

After thirty-four years of living in loneliness and countless times of living under other people's roofs, she could probably write several thick volumes about the warmth and coldness of human nature!

The delicate heart is the most precious treasure that the hard life has left to Liu Buqi! And the carefree heart is the fine wine that helps him get through the hard life!

Not thinking about it is to be content with what you have! If you don’t think about it, you will easily be doomed!

Obviously, now is the time for Liu Buqi to use his brain. After all, before he knew it, the young man in front of him had become the only person he could truly depend on in this strange world!

"Is there something wrong with this pill?"

"have no idea……"

"What will happen if you don't take this pill?"

He casually opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, poured the fragrant pills inside onto the ground, and crushed them repeatedly with his feet.

This was Yue Lingxi's answer! Based on his understanding of him over the past few months, Liu Buqi knew that Yue Lingxi would never joke about his own life!

"Hehehe! You scared me. If there was nothing wrong, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liu Buqi instantly recovered his silly smile, which once again amazed Yue Lingxi!

Having been escorted all the way here, he had long realized that Liu Buqi, who seemed to be asking questions casually, could always easily get some information from the escorting officers and soldiers.

This is definitely not a coincidence; it is the result of years of experience in social skills or sheer innate intelligence!

Yue Lingxi naturally didn't know that Liu Buqi was a reincarnation, so he naturally thought that she must be an extremely intelligent person, which of course was in line with her identity as a lady of scholarly character.

Although he was a little naive, talking to a smart person was always very pleasant! Therefore, Yue Lingxi was not surprised at Liu Buqi's change.

"So, Zhang Xiruo is not a reliable person?" This was another question from Liu Buqi.

"I don't know!" This was Yue Lingxi's very honest answer.

"Then you still let him live with us?"

"We need someone who can light a fire and cook!"

Liu Buqi shook her little head like a rattle. It was obvious that she agreed very much with Yue Lingxi's explanation. Of course, she also wanted to add a very important point!

"We still need someone who can come up with the money!"

Zhang Xiruo, who had just come out of the housekeeper's house, suddenly sneezed loudly!

Since ancient times, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have been a place for raising horses for the Central Plains court. Ten miles south of Yanjing is the location of a horse farm, which is called a horse farm. In fact, there are only dozens of old and frail war horses living here.

But within half a month, hundreds of thousands of war horses that would have been grazing on the grassland within a radius of nearly 100 miles when there was no fighting would return here one after another to spend the winter.

Yue Lingxi asked Zhang Xiruo to find a way to settle them here because although this place is only ten miles away from Yanjing.

But in fact, since war horses are the most important strategic materials, the military inspections around them are very strict, and it can be said that there are very few people here.

After all, he and Liu Buqi were exiled to Yanjing. They needed to sew clothes and cook for the soldiers in the city, and cultivate the land and grow crops outside the city. Horse farming was a very easy job.

And most importantly, the horse farm is close to the Central Plains and will basically not be attacked by enemies. This is the top priority for saving lives in the border area.

Zhang Xiruo lived with them under the name of Liu Buqi's cousin.

When there are people around, the three of them are happy and harmonious! Most of the time, in fact, I am just a sucker who pays to support two idle people, and I am also a sucker who serves as free labor!

The thatched huts originally left here were already dilapidated. After Zhang Xiruo paid for a rebuild, she naturally left the larger one to Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi, and the smaller one to herself.

Of course, although they lived in the same room, under Liu Buqi's threat of "crying, making a fuss, and even hanging himself", Yue Lingxi shamelessly asked Zhang Xiruo to put two beds in the room.

Zhang Xiruo's surprised look left Yue Lingxi speechless, but it made Liu Buqi happy for a long time!

The next two years were peaceful and peaceful, and that was the wonderful life of Liu Buqi, a time traveler who often had wild thoughts but actually had no ambitions. He had no worries about food and clothing and was surrounded by handsome guys (right?)!
