Chapter 64
"Why don't you ride with me."

Huo Jing looked at the steep mountain road in front of him, and said to Lu Weimang behind him with some worry.

After five days of rapid marching, Lu Weimang finally adapted to the marching rhythm of Huo Jing's black armored guards, but as soon as he entered Shu County, he began to feel anxious again.

The mountain road in front of me can only accommodate one horse. Once the horse stumbles, it may fall off the cliff with the horse.

Huo Jing couldn't help turning his head to look at Lu Weimang behind him, and for the first time since leaving Beijing, he said to help Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang took a deep breath, "It's okay, I can do it."

Lu Weimang told Huo Jing that he was also cheering himself up.

Huo Jing took a deep look at Lu Weimang, turned his head, and lightly clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and began to ride alone, walking forward one by one.

Lu Weimang's heart was in his throat, but fortunately, after five days of running-in, Lu Weimang got used to trusting the horse under him, so he just followed Huo Jing and walked towards the mountain step by step.

It was only when Lu Weimang got to the Shu Dao Commercial Road that he realized how difficult this road was.This commercial road was stepped on step by step by the predecessors, and there are cut tree roots on the side of the road, just to widen the road.Even if the road is difficult, in the dense forest, the air is hot and humid, and the neat marching speed of the previous few days suddenly slowed down after entering the dense forest.

Surrounded by hot and humid air all the time, people sweat profusely, lose strength, and suffer from heat stroke, all of which are mild.Unknown, ubiquitous mosquitoes make people more uncomfortable.

After walking in the dense forest for three days, Lu Weimang felt that her patience seemed to have reached its limit today. She found Huo Jing for the first time when she was resting, "How long will it take for us to get out of this dense forest?"

Huo Jing smiled, "I've been thinking about when you can't help but come over to inquire."

In Lu Weimang's eyes, Huo Jing's sudden smiling face made her a little stunned.

Speeding all the way, the face of the original noble son of Beijing is also covered with wind and frost, and he is no longer the pampered noble son of Beijing.On the contrary, Lu Weimang prefers to watch Huo Jing like this, which makes her feel very attractive and without distance.

Aware of his thoughts, Lu Weimang bowed his head uncomfortably and coughed lightly.

Sure enough, she is a person who looks at the value of the face.Even at such a difficult time, when I saw "beauty", my mood immediately improved.

"According to the marching speed of the past few days, there are still two days at most before we can leave the dense forest and enter the relatively flat plain area. When we reach the plain, we will not be far from Qionglai."

Qionglai was their first destination.

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." It's good to have hope.

"However," Huo Jing continued, "it's abnormally hot today. Although it's normal to be hot in the dense forest, but it's so hot today, I'm afraid it's about to rain."

Hearing Huo Jing's speculation, Lu Weimang didn't know whether to feel worried or happy, "It doesn't matter if it rains, I've had enough of this horrible weather." Lu Weimang said bitterly.

The corner of Huo Jing's mouth curled up, "This is the first time I've heard you complain during this journey. It seems that you really don't adapt to the sweltering weather."

Lu Weimang raised his head and looked at Huo Jing with some surprise, "No one likes this kind of ghostly weather, right?"

Huo Jing likes the feeling of chatting with Lu Weimang.She usually doesn't have much to say to herself, except for some answers she wants, she always avoids herself intentionally or unintentionally.It seems that the weather really made her a little irritable, so it affected her usual appearance.

"It seems that I am a born northerner, and the dry and pleasant weather is my favorite. Is General Huo also a northerner?"

Huo Jing shook his head, "His Majesty and I live at the junction of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and we rarely saw snow when we were young."

Lu Weimang nodded, "No wonder you are quick and effective in dealing with banditry. You should have dealt with it when you were young."

"Well, my father and His Majesty were harassed by bandits and raised troops when they couldn't survive. At first, they just wanted to protect their families and their hometown."

"No wonder you have a close relationship with His Majesty, unlike a monarch and minister."

"Your Majesty is like my father and brother, and we married my mother and aunt together. Your Majesty and my aunt treat me more like their own son."

"That's great." Lu Weimang was a little envious of this kind of feeling.She thought she would not maintain feelings.Only natural family members like her parents and younger brother can make her open her heart, and for the rest, she is stingy about opening her heart and accepting others. "I'm a withdrawn person. Apart from my family, I'm afraid I can't experience this kind of feeling."

After hearing Lu Weimang's emotional words, Huo Jing looked at her, "Emotions are always two-way. It's not that you are withdrawn, it's that you haven't met worthy people and relationships, whether it's family members or others."

Lu Weimang looked up at Huo Jing, only to feel that there seemed to be thousands of stars in his eyes at this moment.

Lin Chen and Ding Yi had long been quietly hiding aside, looking at the two people who were talking, "It's been more than ten days since they came out, and the two of them only spoke a few words. The young master is so meek, he doesn't have the vigor and resoluteness on the battlefield at all." This little lady Lu is slow to heat up, so in the future, it will be up to Miss Lu's temperament?"

Ding Yi shook his head, "With your reckless temper, don't worry about the young master, the young master has his own opinion."

Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Ding Yi, who was with the old god, "I see that you have been upset for a long time, always put on airs, and said some vague words, do you want to taste my fist?"

"Afraid you won't succeed?"

Before the two of them separated, a red light flashed in the sky, followed by a muffled thunder that resounded through the sky and the earth, and the pouring rain came suddenly.

The crowd hurriedly tightened the frightened horses, and finally calmed down. They were almost soaked, and Lu Weimang was impatient to put on his coir raincoat, so he followed Huo Jing to find a place to shelter from the rain.

In the heavy rain, people could not be seen clearly from a distance of two meters. After Lu Weimang approached with the horse, Huo Jing realized that Lu Weimang was not wearing a coir raincoat, so he put the coir raincoat on her for no reason, but Lu Weimang stopped him , "I like to get in the rain on weekdays, and besides, I'm completely soaked, so it's okay."

Huo Jing stubbornly didn't listen to Lu Weimang's words, and only tied the belt of the coir raincoat firmly on her chest, "The heavy rain will continue to take away the heat from your body. You usually only get wet in the rain for a short while, but now In the wild, I don’t know when I can find a place to shelter from the rain, so I’d better be more cautious and put on my coir raincoat honestly, you know?”

Speaking, stretched both hands behind Lu Weimang's waist, brought the belt around the coir raincoat to his body, lowered his head, bowed his waist, and tied the belt firmly.

The heavy rain blocked the sight, but Lu Weimang couldn't even breathe. She was not used to having people so close to her.

The moment Huo Jing got up, Lu Weimang let out a breath, then took his coir raincoat and handed it to Huo Jing, "It's a uniform standard, you should be able to wear it."

Huo Jing didn't pick it up, just looked at Lu Weimang, under the urgency of the rainstorm, Lu Weimang didn't care about anything else, just held it in his hand and shook it away, Huo Jing also bent down in cooperation, so that Lu Weimang could give himself a smooth hand Put on the coir raincoat, and let her tie the belt around the collarbone for herself.The belt at the waist Lu Weimang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, put his hands around Huo Jing's waist, and reached for the belt of the coir raincoat.After putting on the coir raincoat, Lu Weimang pretended to be calm, and Huo Jing turned around as usual.

At this time, a scout came to report that there was a rock wall not far away, suitable for shelter from the rain.

Everyone led the horses and walked over there in an orderly manner.It's just a sloping rock wall, and a person can stand and hide from the rain underneath.Everyone lined up to hide from the rain under the rock wall.Lu Weimang stood with Huo Jing, because the rock wall space was limited, so everyone crowded tightly one by one, sheltering from the rain, and huddling together to keep warm.

The torrential rain took away the heat from the body, and everyone felt a little cold at the moment.

Huo Jing pressed Lu Weimang to his side with one arm, "It's not a joke to lose temperature in the wild."

Lu Weimang was a little uncomfortable, Huo Jing's touch was different from Qin Xuan's slapstick.His approach made Lu Weimang a little scared, and the warm air hit her, making her unconsciously want to escape.

Fortunately, the rainstorm came and went quickly. When the rainstorm stopped, the scouts came to report that there was some accumulated rain on the grass. It was best to walk at this moment. When the ground was half wet, it would be muddy and difficult to walk.

Huo Jing led the crowd to move on, and Lu Weimang also followed behind him with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Fortunately, everyone was lucky, and they came across a small village not far away.

Without a word, the black armored guards asked the people in the village to agree to give up their houses for them to keep warm.

Lu Weimang felt a little embarrassed just now, and hurriedly fell asleep after washing up.

She has always been like this. Facing strange things that frighten her, her first reaction is to avoid them.

Over there, Lin Chen helped the young master and took out the important items he carried with him to check.

"Now it's a bit like the time we met Miss Lu in the mountains that year."

Lin Chen recalled.

For those of them who have been fighting outside all year round, this kind of heavy rain has long been regarded as normal, so they are still joking as usual at this time.

Huo Jing looked at Ding Yi who was on the side, "Weimang also carries some things with her, is she sorting things now?"

Ding Yi shook his head, "My subordinate passed by Miss Lu's room just now, she went to bed early."

Huo Jing's face darkened, he is such a smart person, just now when he was hiding from the rain, he noticed Lu Weimang's resistance and retreat, and when the rain stopped, he asked her to hold him, but she also refused.At this moment, she went to bed early again uncharacteristically, and Huo Jing knew that she was keeping a distance from him.

Chatting in the forest seems to be still in front of my eyes, and the sound of breathing when I tie each other's coir raincoats seems to be still in my ears.

The more cautious he is towards her, the more capricious Lu Weimang becomes.Only when she is a little drunk, or in her eyes, when the situation is urgent, will she open her heart for a moment, and then close it tightly.

She seems to be carefully controlling the distance between her and herself, but he, Huo Jing, has no feelings. Being pulled by her like this makes him doubt whether it is wrong for him to follow her like this.
