After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

Along the way, Xie Chunchao excitedly chatted with Xie Ningyu about her recent changes. When she talked about the hidden weapon designed by Lin Jingrong for her, Xie Ningyu became a little interested.

"Oh? A hidden weapon that can kill bandits? Show me."

Xie Chunchao suspected that no one would doubt his brother. When his brother said he wanted to see it, he directly pulled out the peony hairpin from his temples and handed it to his brother.

"This is the life-saving hidden weapon Lin Jingrong designed for me." Xie Chunchao said with emotion, "If Lin Jingrong is healthy, our Chu country will definitely have another young genius."

Xie Ningyu lowered his eyes and looked at this gadget. As the prince of Liao, he had never seen anything strange, but he was still curious about this hidden weapon.

It's just that... this thing always looks familiar to him, as if he has seen similar things somewhere.

That's all, they're probably all concealed weapons.

Xie Ningyu returned the peony golden hairpin to Xie Chunchao and said smoothly, "If you can take a knife from a bandit without dying, Lin Jingrong's health is not as bad as you think."

Xie Ningyu's words reminded Xie Chunchao...

She thought of the passionate kiss that day. The intensity and duration of his kiss did not look like someone who had just been seriously injured...

Xie Ningyu heard that Xie Chunchao didn't say anything for a long time, but when he looked over, he saw his sister's red face. He was startled and asked, "Why are you blushing?"

He raised his head and glanced at the setting sun in the distance. It couldn't possibly be hot.

Was it blown by the wind?
  Xie Chunchao was already thinking about that touching scene, but when Xie Ningyu asked, his face turned even redder.

She gestured to fan herself with her hands and said, "It's too hot."

hot? Xie Ningyu felt the cold wind on the border and fell into deep thought.

Well, my sister has become stronger and weirder.

Xie Ningyu decided to put aside what he didn't understand and continued to ask about Jin Chai, asking, "How could Lin Jingrong design such a thing?"

Not everyone can design this kind of weapon.

Xie Chunchao: "Shing Rong said that he read it from a book."

Xie Ningyu lowered his eyes, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and said casually, "I really can't believe that he has such ability."

Xie Ningyu stared at the golden hairpin on Xie Chunchao's head, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. If his spies could be equipped with such a light and powerful hidden weapon, wouldn't it be more helpful for them to detect the enemy's situation?

"Will he design other types?"

Xie Chunchao shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'll ask him for you later."

The temperature difference between day and night in the border area is huge. After the sun sets, the temperature drops instantly, like an ice cave.

Xie Ningyu had stayed in the frontier for many years and was already accustomed to the climate here, but Xie Chunchao had just arrived. He was afraid that Xie Chunchao could not bear the cold, so he said, "We will be there soon. It's cold outside now. You can go first in the carriage."

Xie Chunchao shook his head, "I'm not cold."

Seeing that Xie Chunchao persisted, Xie Ningyu didn't say anything more. She just asked Yun Xie to put a big cloak on Xie Chunchao, and then told him, "If it's cold, go in quickly and don't be brave."

"It's no joke if you get cold here."

"I know." Xie Chunchao's bright little face was wrapped in a furry white hat, which made her even more charming and beautiful. "I still cherish my little life."

Xie Ningyu shook her head helplessly, "I didn't see it."

Bold enough to come to the border from Shanngling, bold enough to suppress bandits, bold enough to use her body as bait, one after another, but he couldn't see that she spared her life.

The two of them didn't say anything else during the rest of the journey.

Because it was cold and windy at night, the cold wind would fill my mouth whenever I spoke.

Xie Chunchao didn't know how long she had been walking in the dark night. The saddle caused a dull pain in the heels of her thighs. Xie Ningyu seemed to be aware of her discomfort. "The more you can't bear it, go to the carriage and rest for a while. Don't show off."

Xie Chunchao shook his head repeatedly, "I'm fine." It makes no sense that her brother can persist, but she can't.

She deeply understands that if she wants to make changes, she will always have to suffer a little.

Xie Ningyu's eyes flashed and she said nothing. The cold wind from the border blew across Xie Chunchao's face and the Weiwei mountains on the right. She heard the faint sound of wolf howls mixed with the whirring wind.

In the past, she would have been scared, but now she felt calm and even a little excited.

She looked up and saw stars filling the sky, and a huge lonely full moon hanging on the top of the mountains.

In the darkness, she finally saw a bright warm light in the distance.

"We're here." He pointed with his whip, "Ahead is Tianmen Pass."

Tianmen Pass is the most important pass at the junction of Chu and Sheng. There are [-] soldiers inside the pass, and there are about [-] residents in the vassal town. They are either the families of the soldiers, natives of Tianmen Pass, or A businessman taking a break.

"It's finally here." Xie Chunchao murmured in a low voice.

Xie Ningyu chuckled lightly, "Does your leg hurt?"

"I have some plaster over there. I'll take it to you later."

Xie Chunchao had never been riding a horse for such a long time. Although his thighs would hurt when riding horses before, it was far from as severe as it is today.

"Brother, doesn't it hurt?"

Xie Ningyu said, "It hurt before"

"On the first day I came to the border on horseback, my leg felt like it was broken, and the heel of my thigh was bleeding."

"But now, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Xie Ningyu had already developed a thick layer of calluses on her thighs because she had been riding horses all year round, and she had long been immune to pain.

Xie Chunchao glanced down at his legs and said softly, "Maybe one day I can be like my brother."

Xie Ningyu glanced at Xie Chunchao thoughtfully. Like Xie Chunchao, he also had many things to ask her.

But now is not the time.

almost.

He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. When he returned to Tianmen Pass, the brother and sister could have a good conversation.

"Open the door!" The team arrived at the Tianmen Pass, and the deputy general shouted to the gatekeeper on the city, "The general is back!"

A brighter torch suddenly lit up on the tower. The soldier looked down and shouted, "Open the door quickly, the general is back!"

Xie Chunchao vaguely heard the sound of running and things being lifted from inside the door, and then the heavy city door was slowly pushed open.

Xie Chunchao finally saw the true face of Yumen Pass.

Behind the city gate is a vast open space, and a little further away you can vaguely see low houses. There are torches burning every ten meters in the city, illuminating the night as brightly as day.

It's even brighter here than Shanngling!

Xie Ningyu explained, "This is a stronghold for military strategists. To guard against insurgents, lights are lit all night long and troops are sent back and forth to patrol and guard."

Now is another dangerous period, so the security in the city has become even stricter.

Xie Chunchao nodded to express his understanding.

Although the people in the city knew that the general had gone out, they did not know what he was doing.

Now seeing General Xie, who had always been clean and self-possessed, actually bring back a woman, they all looked at Xie Chunchao curiously.
