Shi Qinghuan didn't sleep well all night. In her daze, Bailiheng held her hand tightly, and the familiar and warm feeling made her sleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, the two set out on the road.
Outside Sifang City, there is an endless desert. Zhaoyi helped them prepare camels and even found a caravan heading to Yuexia Kingdom to go with them, so it was much safer.
Why should Zhaoyi treat them so well?
They say it's for sisterhood, but that's not entirely true.
There is sisterhood, but just two days are not enough to reach this level.
Mainly because of Bailiheng's status as left prime minister.
Although Sifang City is an ownerless city, it is also a city in crisis. Now Yuexia Kingdom and Tiansheng Kingdom are living in peace, and Sifang City has its own interests and is living a stable life.
But if war breaks out one day, Sifang City will also be in crisis.
Making friends with dignitaries from various countries will give you an extra chance of survival.
This is something both Shi Qinghuan and Bailiheng understand. Of course, they also understand the affection.
If Zhaoyi is in trouble in the future, they will definitely help.
The heat wave is rolling, and the yellow sand is all over the sky.
Shi Qinghuan and Bailiheng followed the caravan. They were wrapped tightly, but the hot feeling still made people feel dizzy.
Shi Qinghuan felt a little uncomfortable, while Bailiheng chatted with the people in the caravan and got along well with the people in the caravan along the way.
As night fell, everyone found a good location and set up tents. Shi Qinghuan simply tidied up the tent, which made it feel much more comfortable.
When Bailiheng came back, he quickly stepped forward to help him take off his clothes and clean them again.
The two of them looked at each other with disgraced faces and couldn't help but laugh.
After taking a breath, the two sat down.
"How about it?"
"This caravan is not from the Yuexia Kingdom. It just passed through the Yuexia Kingdom's border and did not enter the country. It took a detour to Fengyang Kingdom, so I have no impression of the emblem pattern."
"As expected, Zhaoyi said that we are just going to the border of Yuexia Kingdom."
"Don't worry, there will be clues when we enter Yuexia Kingdom."
"Um."
Shi Qinghuan nodded, "The Yuexia Kingdom doesn't seem to be peaceful now?"
"Yes, the late emperor passed away two years ago, and the young emperor who ascended the throne was only seven years old. How could those brothers of the late emperor not be ambitious? Fortunately, the regent has been suppressing it, so there was no chaos. But the current situation The turmoil, the Regent, seems to be almost unstoppable.”
"Then if the Yuexia Kingdom is in chaos, the border..."
"Among the late emperor's brothers, only the regent and the late emperor had the same intentions and advocated peace. The other brothers were all warlike."
Hearing this, Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but frown.
The road ahead is unpredictable, and peace can be shattered at the snap of a finger.
"But don't worry, there will be internal strife and national chaos in seizing the heir, but the outside world will be safe. There won't be any war for a while."
"Um."
Shi Qinghuan nodded, and footsteps sounded outside, followed by a voice.
"You two, we have prepared barbecue. You two want to try it together."
"That's fine."
The desert is full of dangers, so we must have a good relationship with them.
Bailiheng took Shi Qinghuan out, and a bonfire was lit in the center of the tent not far away, and the smell of meat overflowed.
"Come on, girl, thank you for treating my man a few days ago. There is a gift here, girl, come and take a look."
An aunt came over and took Shi Qinghuan's hand affectionately.
Shi Qinghuan smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, it's just a little effort."
"Hey, you don't know. We have been traveling everywhere for so many years. What we pay attention to is the loyalty of a person who comes and goes. This girl is a life-saving grace."
Shi Qinghuan couldn't resist, so he nodded with Bailiheng and followed his aunt back to the tent.
Bailiheng stood outside the tent and waited.
"Auntie, this desert is so lively, with fires and barbecues, won't it attract wolves?"
"Hahaha, girl, where did you hear this?"
"Is not it?"
"There are indeed wolves in the desert, but not everywhere. The road we are walking on is used by caravans all year round, and there are people who clean it up, so it is safe."
"That's it!"
"So don't worry, come on, put it on and try it on."
The aunt took out the clothes and helped Shi Qinghuan put them on.
The moment the tent opened, Bailiheng's eyes lit up instantly as he was chatting with others.
She wore a dark blue brocade dress, with delicate and complicated embroidery mixed with beaded curtains, making her whole body shine brightly.
Her black hair was scattered all over her body, with ribbons intertwined in her hair. There were bells attached to the tassel tail behind her, which jingled as she walked.
The beauty of exotic customs is something Bailiheng has never seen before.
But under the moonlight and firelight, Shi Qinghuan's figure slowly came forward, and what fell in Bailiheng's eyes was not Lin Manyun's face, but the bright and fiery her.
Feeling the burning gaze of Bailiheng, Shi Qinghuan blushed a little and walked to Bailiheng, "Does it look good?"
"Well, it looks good."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then they were pulled to the campfire.
The caravan was very hospitable, wine and meat were served on the table, and everyone ate happily.
Shi Qinghuan's brilliant smile was reflected in the firelight, and finally fell into Bailiheng's eyes, turning into an endless stream of colorful light.
Subconsciously, he leaned into Shi Qinghuan's ear and said, "Qinghuan..."
"Um?"
"Let's go back to Kyoto and go to the Protector's Mansion together."
"OK."
"I'm talking about...meeting the elders."
Bailiheng deliberately emphasized the last four words.
Shi Qinghuan turned around in surprise and met Bailiheng's eyes.
Inside, there are turbulent waves and endless impulse.
But it is as firm as a city wall.
Just one glance made Shi Qinghuan's heart turbulent.
As they looked at each other, the fire in their eyes grew more and more intense, with desperate enthusiasm.
Bailiheng stared seriously into Shi Qinghuan's eyes, "Is that okay?"
"Girl, let's dance together!"
Before Shi Qinghuan could answer, just when his inner impulse reached its peak, his hand was grabbed by the aunt and he was dragged into the crowd.
Everyone danced in a circle and it was very lively.
Shi Qinghuan's answer was buried in laughter.
Bailiheng sat on one side, looking at Shi Qinghuan's figure, his eyes became more determined.
Just now, when Shi Qinghuan's original face appeared in his eyes, he was suddenly shocked.
Things in the world are unpredictable, and before the heartbeat of the past is expressed in words, there is no chance.
But now, although she stood in front of him again, she was still in danger. Moreover, she was always far away from him, which was even worse.
In this case, it is better to give it a try.
Fight for her heart, fight for her trust, fight for her to be by his side and never leave him.
We have come to this point, now is the time.
Whether he is selfish or impulsive.
Desire grows in my heart and cannot be increased.
And whether Shi Qinghuan is slow or evasive, it's up to him to take the initiative and dig out her true feelings.
After thinking about it, Bailiheng stood up and stepped forward, passed the crowd, and came to Shi Qinghuan's side.
The palm of his hand felt warm, and when Shi Qinghuan turned around, Bailiheng had already taken her hand.
Shi Qinghuan's eyes were full of radiant smiles and elegance.
Something in my heart was tense, but it was beating faster and faster.
The temperature in the palm of my hand is getting hotter and hotter. Under this night, the warmth is still... hard to resist.
