Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 47 Warmth
  In the upper reaches of the Yang River, about five hundred miles away from the Horqin Grassland, there is a depression. Because it is filled with water from the tributaries of the Liu River, Yang River and Liao River all year round, a swamp with a radius of nearly a hundred miles has been formed here. Therefore, Cattle, sheep and beasts have stumbled into the swamp all year round, and the seeds carried by the north wind have fallen into the swamp. With the beast carcasses as the base material, after a long period of incubation, a large area of ​​low grass and shrubs has been formed on the surface of the swamp.
  After traveling for more than seventy miles during the day, Wang Qi decided to rest here for one night before setting off. About tomorrow evening, he would arrive at Horqin Left Banner, where the royal court is located.

Hai Lanzhu and Wang Qi stood together, looking at the low grass on the swamp in the distance that was blown slowly by the north wind, and the setting sun falling into the sky in the distance.

The breeze blew the tips of her hair, and Hai Lanzhu murmured in a low voice: "We will be separated when we arrive at the royal court tomorrow. Thank you very much for this journey."

"You and I each get what we need, it doesn't matter what we want to thank," Wang Qi said, turning to look at Hailanzhu beside him, sniffing his nose, feeling a little strange, why does this woman always have a faint fragrance lingering around her body, staying here every day these days? When Wang Qi was around, he was not seen wiping his body. Is it true that some people bring their own body scent?
  Hailanzhu didn't notice Wang Qi's actions and was still immersed in his own context: "Both Jianzhou and Ming Dynasty wanted to draw Horqin into their camp, and King Horqin Khan wanted to expand his power and let Horqin overpower him. In the Chahar tribe of Lin Dan Khan, what Amma thinks about every day is to let the people in the tribe climb higher and control more people, tents, cattle and sheep. Everyone is competing for their own interests. No one will ever care about me. What do you want?"

Hearing Hai Lanzhu's words of self-pity, Wang Qi moved his lips and teeth slightly, and for a long time he only uttered one word: "Ha."

"You!" Hai Lanzhu's cheeks were slightly red, obviously annoyed by Wang Qi's indifferent attitude, and she said angrily: "Of course I understand my mission, but shouldn't women be allowed to break free from the cage of fate? "

"Of course," Wang Qi shrugged, his tone still indifferent: "But everyone else also has their own mission. The world is complicated and full of contradictions and connections. One person's will is often too small, so, Do your best to do your best, and then let fate dictate.”

"Wang Qi believes in destiny?" Hai Lanzhu turned around, faced Wang Qi, and asked.

Looking at the floating swamp in the distance, Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and said nothing for a long time. To be honest, he couldn't answer this question because he didn't even know how he came to this world. After all, he had been a human for two lives. .

"Destiny?" Wang Qi moved his lips slightly and said two words.

Hai Lanzhu stared at Wang Qi's profile, wanting to understand this man for the first time and waiting for his next words.

At this moment, Qin Erbao came over at an inappropriate time and came to report the situation to Wang Qi.

"Sir, starting from today, there are more and more exploring horses."

Seeing this, Hai Lanzhu sighed silently, took two steps back, and turned his head to watch the sunset alone as if he was angry.

"Don't let them get within three miles of the camp. Let them go." Wang Qi didn't intend to hide his whereabouts, and the vast grassland couldn't hide them either, as long as he was not disturbed.

"I understand," Qin Erbao lowered his head.

After a while, Qin Erbao did not retreat. Wang Qi heard the movement, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Looking up at Hai Lanzhu beside him, Qin Erbao moved his lips, as if he had something to say.

Hai Lanzhu, who was on the side, naturally heard the conversation between the two. Seeing this, he muttered, then turned and left!

"Go ahead," Wang Qi nodded when he saw Hai Lanzhu walking away.

"Miss Hailanzhu is a Mongolian Horqin noble," Qin Erbao thought for a long time before uttering half a sentence.

"I know," Wang Qi nodded, indicating for him to continue.

"Three years later, you will marry Princess Ningde," Qin Erbao said in a low voice, bowing.

As soon as Qin Erbao finished speaking, Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and silently watched the Wang family's son.

Gulu, Qin Erbao's Adam's apple rolled, and cold sweat had begun to form on his forehead. He could feel Wang Qi's scrutinizing gaze. "Sir, I'm the one talking too much!" With a thud, Qin Erbao fell to his knees, barely able to bear Wang Qi's almost substantial gaze.

Wang Qi turned around and looked at Hailanzhu in the distance, and then at the vast grassland in the distance: "Get up, I know what to do."

"My dear, please leave!" Qin Erbao raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and bowed to retreat.

Looking at the beautiful sunset in the distance, Wang Qi did not move for a long time.

Qin Erbao's worries were not unreasonable. Wang Qi and Princess Ningde were granted marriage by the emperor. Unless Wang Qi died or committed a serious crime of treason, they would definitely get married in three years. And now Wang Qi is so close to the Mongolian Horqin aristocrat Gege. If someone with an intention to spread the news reaches the capital and reaches Donglin's ears, who knows what trouble will happen.

In fact, in this life, personal relationships between children are no longer important in Wang Qi's eyes. After all, in the absurd years of his previous life, Wang Qi has already tasted lingering and bitter love.

So in this world, whether Princess Ningde or Hai Lanzhu, in Wang Qi's eyes they are just means to achieve their goals.

Why care about what others think?

"Ha," Wang Qi still said one word after a long time.

That night, a bonfire was burning in the middle of the camp. Today, the cooks in the camp specially roasted whole prairie sheep, ten of them, which was enough for the entire delegation to enjoy.

Wang Qi sat beside the bonfire, watching the people singing and laughing in the venue, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

We will arrive at our destination tomorrow, and tonight is our last leisure time.

"Why don't you go and eat something? Go and sit on the side." Hai Lanzhu held a lamb leg in his hand without any image, and sat down closely against Wang Qi's body.

"Is it delicious?" Wang Qi tilted his head and asked.

Hai Lanzhu was used to Wang Qi's non-answering questions. While chewing on the leg of lamb, he muttered: "The lamb is good and the roast is good, but there is no wine!"

"Tomorrow, when we arrive at the Horqin Palace, you can enjoy the fine wine," Wang Qi looked forward, without too much emotion in his tone.

"Will we meet again in the future?" Hai Lanzhu put down the leg of lamb in his hand and looked at Wang Qi with a greasy mouth.

"The sky is big and the earth is big. You are a little girl from Horqin. If you don't enjoy wealth and honor, what are you going to do with me?" Wang Qi laughed and shook his head.

"You are right," Hai Lanzhu nodded and laughed at himself: "I should have enjoyed the wealth and honor in the world."

While speaking, Hai Lanzhu gently leaned his head on Wang Qi's shoulder. Through the black brocade robe, Wang Qi's body temperature made Hai Lanzhu feel extra warm, and he purred softly like a cat.

Wang Qi looked at the bonfire in the distance and said no more.
