Qin Yan said to the shopkeeper who was brought over: "Shopkeeper, I'm so sorry. I got you caught here, but it's okay now. You can leave."

"Mr. Qin, I don't blame you. We are not seriously injured. But what will you do if we leave? Will they do anything bad to you?" The shopkeeper comforted the guilty Qin Yan, but at the same time he was worried about their safety.

"Don't worry, boss. We are fine. We followed them on our own initiative. We were planning to go to the capital, and this happened to be on our way. Hehe." Jiang Zhi said first.

"Yes, that's right. Don't worry, we'll be fine." Qin Yan rubbed his little wife's head and answered the inquiring eyes of the shopkeeper opposite him.

The shopkeeper sighed and said nothing more.

When Cheng Ziang saw that they had finished their conversation, he ordered someone to take the shopkeepers back to their restaurant.

When he nodded to Qin Yan and was about to leave, Qin Yan stopped him.

"General Cheng, can you help me find something else?" Qin Yan hugged Jiang Zhi, and suddenly thought of something and wanted to confirm it.

Cheng Ziang heard this and agreed without hesitation: "You tell me, I will definitely do it for you. I misunderstood you before, but now that you saved Chengze, I owe you a life. Your business is my business, and I will definitely do it for you."

Qin Yan asked Cheng Ziang to accompany him to the place they had just arrived.

He whispered in Jiang Zhi's ear: "It suddenly occurred to me that we fell from the cliff. I was trying to get you some water from your backpack, but when I saw you were about to fall, I ran over. I remember I was holding the backpack at the time, and when we fell, the backpack seemed to be scratched by a branch and fell off with it. I plan to go take a look, and it's a good opportunity to have a few soldiers follow us so nothing will happen."

"Okay, you just be careful. I won't go to avoid causing you trouble." Jiang Zhi was very tired now, having been busy all day.

Qin Yan could see that she was tired and felt sorry for her, so he asked Cheng Ziang to prepare a tent for them, and he took Jiang Zhi to rest first.

After making arrangements for Jiang Zhi, Qin Yan and Cheng Ziang, he took two soldiers and rode to the center of the desert, where Qin Yan saw this world for the first time.

That place was strange. He remembered that when he woke up, he found a stone tablet next to them, like a tombstone standing there. But who would erect a tombstone in the desert? He couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up.

They rode their horses safely all the way to the destination. When he saw the monument, he dismounted and started digging sand under the monument. Cheng Ziang and the other two also started to help him dig sand.

After a while, when Qin Yan was about to give up, he finally dug out a corner of the backpack from the sand. Qin Yan was very excited because there were a lot of things in it.

"This is what you are looking for. It looks so strange. I have never seen it before. It should be used to store things." Cheng Ziang sat in the sand, looking at the crooked thing with curiosity.

The two soldiers next to him also looked at Qin Yan's mountaineering bag, which kept hitting the sand, with a curious look on their faces.

"Hey, you don't know this, right? This can hold a lot of things. It's a must-have for mountaineering and traveling. Just carry this bag and you can survive in the wild. Hey, no matter how much I say, you won't understand. When we get back, I'll show you what is the must-have king." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Cheng Ziang, with a look that said, "I'll let you broaden your horizons."

Without staying for long, they took their belongings and returned to the barracks.

It was already dark when Qin Yan returned to the military camp. He dismounted his horse and ran to Jiang Zhi's bed. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, her chest rising and falling with her breathing, and her little mouth slightly open.

Qin Yan's heart softened. Today was an ups and downs day, from being captured, forced to make salt, being targeted by the Jin people, to saving people. Alas, it was really a heart-testing day.

At least his heart finally settled down. As soon as he relaxed, he felt tired all over. He hurriedly ate something, took a shower, and lay down next to Jiang Zhi. He put his arms around his wife's waist, bent down and gently kissed her slightly open lips, then fell asleep.

next morning

Cheng Lao Hu was worried about the Crown Prince, so he arranged for the soldiers to train and then hurried to Li Chengze's tent.

As soon as they entered the room, before Qin Yan and the others could react, Cheng Lao Hu ran to Li Chengze's bed, blocked out everything, immersed himself in his own world, and said to himself: "Your Highness, why haven't you woken up yet? Look at your face, it's as pale as death."

Then he asked Qin Yan who was feeding Jiang Zhi: "Why...why hasn't she woken up yet? And her face is so pale, it's scary. Come on, think of a solution like you did yesterday."

Seeing Cheng Lao Hu getting more and more anxious, Qin Yan snatched the cake from his hand and said, "General Cheng, this guy has just been rescued. He lost a lot of blood yesterday. It's great that he is alive now. You still want him to be full of energy and chat with you right now? What a beautiful dream."

"Hey, you little brat. After all, I am older than you and can be considered your elder. How dare you talk to me like that? Humph, if it weren't for your valuable advice, I would have chopped off your head long ago." Cheng Lao Hu felt uncomfortable when he heard him talking back at him. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of an army and was also proud.

Jiang Zhi sat opposite Qin Yan and looked at them, eating the cake in her hand silently.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Cheng Lao Hu looked at the people sitting on both sides of the table lowering their heads to eat the pancakes. He looked at the pancake he had snatched from Qin Yan and smelled it again.

You know what, it smells quite good, he just stuffed it into his mouth. He was originally a bandit, although he became a general, but in the barracks everyone is very rough and doesn't care about little things at all.

After eating, Cheng Lao Hu smacked his lips and said it was quite delicious. Without saying a word, he sat on the other side of the table.

"Brother Qin, I still have to thank you this time. Please keep an eye on the prince's injuries. Hmm." Cheng Lao Hu said these caring words to the prince, but his eyes were fixed on the three remaining pancakes on the table, and his hands kept reaching for two of them.

He took it and ran away. Anyway, he had no advantages but he was thick-skinned. He was not embarrassed at all. A voice came from Cheng Lao Hu, "Brother Qin, I'll leave it to you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. If you have something to do, please find someone else~, I'm very busy~"

Qin Yan was speechless, but there was nothing he could do; he didn't care about the guy named Cheng.

It is winter now. They are very close to the desert and located in the north. The winter is extremely cold and dry.

The prince's place is the warmest place in the entire military camp. His status and position are there, but now he is still lying weakly on the bed.

Qin Yan and Jiang Zhi stayed in the prince's tent to check on his recovery (stealing the heater)

There was no other way. Jiang Zhi, who was born with a cold body, definitely couldn't stand the cold. So Qin Yan openly took Jiang Zhi to stay in Li Chengze's tent. Jiang Zhi was now wearing a cloak, wrapped up in it, leaning against the stove to warm herself, feeling very comfortable.

Qin Yan felt relieved to see that his young wife was comfortable. He was afraid that Jiang Zhi would suffer if she followed him, so he wanted to do his best to treat her well.

Even now in ancient times, no one would want to let his wife suffer.
