There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 240
"It's you? Why are you here?" Xia Houjing was surprised.

"Why can't I come? Although this girl has no great skills, she is more than enough to get rid of a few people!" Ansaiya looked at him vigorously, with a little complacency on her cheeks.

Xia Houjing's complexion became darker and darker, he got off his horse and strode over to grab her wrist, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Do you know how dangerous it is here? You ran here alone. Have you thought about what to do if something happens?"

His eyes were like snow on a glacier, staring straight at her.

Ansaiya felt aggrieved, frowned and pulled back her hands: "How dangerous can it be? I don't want you to worry about it!"

Xia Houjing was about to say something more, but Ansaiya quickly flattened her mouth.

"Stop it!"

"I don't want to listen to what you said. At worst, I'll stay here for one night and go back tomorrow. Why are you so fierce!"

"That's what you said!" Xia Houjing heaved a sigh of relief.

"Of course!" Ansai pouted, turned around and strode away.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and she was wearing a bright red dress, and the red embroidered brocade skirt fluttered up and down, which not only had the charm of a daughter's family, but also the bright atmosphere of a heroine.

Xia Houjing stared at her back for a moment, then quickly turned her head, followed her back to the tent at the foot of the mountain.

It was almost dawn, and the soldiers who had fought fiercely all night had all withdrawn. The dead, wounded, and those who were not dead or injured were all exhausted and urgently needed rest.

Xia Houjing endured exhaustion and patrolled the battalion again before returning to his tent.

Ansaiah was sitting at the table having a snack when he returned.

"This is my tent, you can stay in peace for now, no one will disturb you! I'll go somewhere else to make do for the night!!"

"Hey!" Ansai called him, "It's been a night, don't you want something to eat?"

"Don't eat!"

"Sit for a while if you don't eat, just stay with me!" Ansai seemed to be in a good mood. This plate of rough snacks that had been left untouched for a day, she ate one after another in a daze. Very sweet.

"For the sake of my traveling all the way here, why don't you just accompany me?"

Xia Houjing hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the chair opposite her.

"Eat it, I'll just watch it here!"

Ansai smiled very satisfied, and stuffed another piece of snack into her mouth.

"Your Highness, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Ask!" Xia Houjing looked very uncomfortable, but he didn't get up to leave after all.

He even felt a little heavy. For some reason, he suddenly had an ominous premonition, as if something big was about to happen.

But when I think about it carefully, there is nothing bigger than the big battle in front of me.

"Have you ever liked someone else?"

"Why are you asking this?" Xia Houjing's expression instantly became awkward, his eyes were a little dodged, and the back of the woman in red with both hands drawing arrows came out of her mind disobediently.

"No!" he replied.

"Really?" Ansaiya's eyes were more energetic than before.

"Then...do you like me?" She asked passionately and boldly, which made Xia Houjing blush immediately.

"do not like!"

Ansai was not discouraged, she still smiled: "Then... you said you would marry me, is it true?"

"..." Xia Houjing never expected that she would ask such a question.

He looked at her bright and sweet smiling face, looked at her hopeful eyes, and finally turned his face away and nodded.

"it is true!"

"If the princess doesn't dislike marrying an inhumane person, then marry her!" Anyway, she can't marry the person she loves, so who should she marry?
If she really wants to marry, then she can marry herself, and it's not that she can't afford it.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, how many people in the royal family were satisfied with their marriages?

"Okay, that's what you said!" Ansaiya blinked her big sparkling eyes.

"When this war is over and we all come back alive, this princess will marry you!"

Xia Houjing didn't speak, and didn't reply too much, she just turned her head to one side, and the expression on her face flickered.

……

It was getting brighter and the snacks were finished, Ansaiya stretched herself.

"Oh, I'm so busy this night, you go first, I have to sleep for a while!"

"Oh!" Xia Houjing got up and left.

The battle between the two armies last night will definitely stop for at least one morning today. Xia Houjing briefly patrolled the camp, went to the tent next door to his subordinates, and went to rest.

While the army was recuperating, Ansaiya, who was lying on the bed and squinted, suddenly opened his eyes.

She quickly got up from the bed, looked at the dead camp outside, and suddenly smiled, and went out the door.

Because she was by Xia Houjing's side and had been seen in the camp, naturally no one suspected her whereabouts.

Ansaiya led the horse and left the camp smoothly all the way.

Someone also asked where she was going, and her answer was very unified: "I want to go back to the city!"

Back to the city?That's fine, His Highness the Sixth Highness has confessed that Princess Ansaiya is going back to the city.

……

Coming out of the camp, Ansaiya glanced at the direction of Yongguan City, raised his whip and slapped the horse's back, and galloped away in the opposite direction.

The day is neither long nor short, and night falls gradually.

When Xia Houjing woke up from the tent, the candles outside had been fully lit, and he sat up suddenly from the bed.

"Come on! Is there a report from the front line?"

Several messengers came in quickly and reported the news of the barbarians one by one. Xia Houjing put on his armor neatly, ordered the horses to be prepared, and went out.

When he passed by his main tent next door, he saw that there was no movement inside. He was thinking about Ansaiya's delicate little princess, and he didn't ask any further questions since he thought he hadn't woken up yet.

He had just ordered his subordinates to prepare the horses, when a few orderlies came outside, and they shouted to report.

"Sixth Prince, the enemy has suddenly withdrawn!"

"Withdraw troops? Why?"

Xia Houjing frowned, a trace of suspicion surged in her heart, it's impossible, the opponent has the upper hand, how could it be possible to suddenly retreat, is there some danger?
"Come on, let's check!"

The messengers searched and searched, but found no useful information, but brought news that the enemy had retreated another ten miles.

"Stand still and investigate again!" Xia Houjing became more and more uneasy.

When he felt uneasy and always felt that something was wrong, in the barbarian camp, a big rough man dressed in wolf fur and tiger back was sitting on his main seat, squinting at the little beauty in front of him.

"What did you say? Say it again?" The reckless man had a little expectation in his tone, but it sounded a bit obscene.

"I said, if you can win this battle, I will marry you!" Ansaiya said in the most gentle tone, holding back her nausea.

"Didn't you always want to marry me? Didn't you always ask for marriage with my father Khan? Well, I'm going to see your skills today. If you win this battle, I will recognize you as a hero on the grassland , I will marry you!"
