The general said she doesn't take a wife

Ningguo and the Grassland are engaged in trade, and the female Fu Beichenling is on behalf of Ningguo as an envoy, and signs a business agreement with the Grassland envoy in Shengshi.

After the matter was over, the two parties parted ways. Bei Chenling returned to Xingbei Pass by the same route, while Boka queen Zheji went deep into the grassland with the envoys behind her, preparing to return to the Boka tribe.

However, Zhe Ji rode the horse for less than a mile, when the originally clear sky suddenly turned overcast, and the bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, hitting her body with crackling sounds.

The rain came in a hurry, as if deliberately imprisoning the travelers on the grassland, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

The season is approaching late autumn, and the grasslands are starting to get cold.

Zhe Ji frowned, and she looked up at the sky, guessing that the rain would last for a long time.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of Bei Chenling, women in Ningguo were always delicate and soft, and when the autumn rain fell, most of the people who were exposed to the rain would catch the cold along with them.

Although Beichenling's men and horses were heading towards Xingbei Pass, the road was full of rocks, not even a tree, let alone a place that could keep out the rain. Within a radius of tens of miles, there were only newly opened roads. Shengshi has a camp where he can temporarily stay.

Zhe Ji hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned her head and said to her followers:

"Since we have business cooperation with Ningguo, we should take care of Ningguo's special envoy to show friendship, right?"

The attendant was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Zhe Ji asked this question, but after thinking about it for a while, he thought what Zhe Ji said was right, and said:

"Correct."

Zhe Ji laughed so hard that the attendants around her were confused.

She reined in suddenly, turned the horse, and galloped in the direction of Xing Beiguan.

The entourage behind her almost didn't react. Seeing that Zhe Ji had already run several tens of feet, they changed their formation in a panic, and hurriedly followed Qiu Yu.

Not long after Bei Chenling left Shengshi, it suddenly started to rain. Because the carriage ride between Shengshi and Xingbei Pass was too bumpy, she had to walk, so when Beichenling came, he sent her there. Sheng Shi's carriage stopped at one point in front of the rocky field, and Bei Chenling walked the rest of the way.

Now that the contract has been signed, if she wants to go back the same way, she must first walk through this rocky road before she can take the carriage.

But the weather was not beautiful, the rain was pattering, and it was still extremely cold. It quickly wet the ground, making the road muddy, and bit by bit eroded Beichenling's clothes, making her colder and colder.

When she went to Shengshi as an envoy this time, she only brought a maidservant from the capital, and all the soldiers who escorted her behind her were soldiers from the northern border. It would be indecent for a girl like her to get her clothes wet by the rain.

Furthermore, this road is at least two miles away from the place where the carriage is parked. Instead of going forward, it is better to retreat to Shengshi and find a place to shelter from the rain.

Bei Chenling got worried, turned around and told Pei Qing about her plan.

As a general in the northern border, Pei Qing encountered rainy weather when he went out, which is very common.

But Bei Chenling is a delicate and charming woman, she is different from these elders in the military camp, and she is the one whom the empress asked him to take good care of, so naturally she cannot neglect her.

Without much hesitation, Pei Qing took off his coat to let Bei Chenling keep out the rain, and then ordered to return to Shengshi.

Under Pei Qing's escort, Bei Chenling headed towards Shengshi again. She hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly there was the sound of galloping horses kicking ahead.

Everyone raised their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Zhe Ji leading a group of entourages galloping forward, then reined in in front of Bei Chenling, and said with a hearty smile:

"Miss Ling, it's easy to get cold when the autumn rain falls on you, why don't you go to Shengshi together on my king's horse?"

Pei Qing was very surprised, Bei Chenling also frowned delicately, looked up at Zhe Ji, and asked suspiciously:

"Is this what you came here for?"

Zhe Ji raised her eyebrows, and answered as a matter of course:

"Yes!"

Bei Chenling didn't know how to respond to Zhe Ji being so frank.

"Let's go, I'm afraid your small body won't be able to take the shower for a while!"

Zhe Ji stretched out her hand towards Bei Chenling.

Bei Chenling hesitated for a moment, thinking that Zhe Ji was the queen of the Boka tribe, and she came to help him specially for this matter, and she would not be able to disgrace this person, and it would be much faster for Zhe Ji to take her to Shengshi.

She complied with Zhe Ji's wishes, said "Thank you", and stretched out her hand at the same time.

Zhe Ji grabbed Bei Chenling's wrist and put her on the horse's back. Bei Chenling had never ridden on a horse like this before, so she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhe Ji laughed loudly, and joked that Bei Chenling was really timid, then kicked the horse's belly, and quickly beat the horse back.

The steed under her seat came and went like the wind, and galloped towards Shengshi when it received Bei Chenling.It wasn't until Zhe Ji led Bei Chenling a few steps that Pei Qing stared in shock and yelled:

"Follow up!"

It was the first time for Bei Chenling to ride such a fast horse. The clothes that Pei Qing gave her lost at some point. Although she pretended to be calm on her face, she was terrified in her heart. His hands turned a little white.

Zhe Ji noticed her little movements, and couldn't help laughing more heartily, then wrapped her arms around Bei Chenling's waist, and breathed warmly into the latter's ear:

"It turns out that Lady Ling is afraid of riding a horse hahahahaha!"

Bei Chenling felt annoyed for no reason, this queen of the grassland is really annoying.

But now she was under the control of Zhe Ji, and she didn't dare to flirt with this person directly. If Zhe Ji didn't like it and let her go halfway, it would be a waste of all her troubles.

Fortunately, Zhe Ji didn't pay attention to Bei Chenling's attitude at all, and rushed all the way to Shengshi. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no tendency to stop at all.

Zhe Ji took the lead, and when she arrived at Shengshi, she placed Beichenling outside the tent of Ningguo camp. The soldiers stationed at Shengshi in the north saw that Lady Ling had been sent back by Queen Boka, and immediately came to greet her with something to keep out the rain.

Although Zheji was already running very fast on horseback, Beichenling and Zheji's clothes were still mostly wet during this distance. Zheji carefully saw that the light-colored clothes on Beichenling's body were wet from the rain and stuck to Beichen. Ling's body, outlining her slender figure.

Zheji's eyes darkened slightly, seeing that the soldiers were about to run, Zheji turned over and got off the horse, then untied her fur cloak and put it on Beichenling.

Shrinking in the cold wind, Bei Chenling felt that she was suddenly wrapped in warmth. She froze for a moment, then turned her head and saw Zhe Ji let go of the hand holding the cloak, and patted her on the shoulder, saying with a smile:

"This rain is estimated to last for several days. You have to spend the night here today. You have to dry your clothes, otherwise it will be very cold at night."

Bei Chenling fell into a brief silence. She watched Zheji turn around and lead the horse after she finished speaking, and suddenly felt that this person was not so bad.

Seeing that Zhe Ji was about to leave, Bei Chenling suddenly called out to her:

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

Zhe Ji paused, and looked back at her through the rain, with doubts in her eyes.

"You gave me the cloak, how about you?"

Zhe Ji only had two wolf leather jackets on her body now, and although they were a little thicker than Bei Chenling's, they were not too thick.

"Heh, I have been running on this grassland since I was a child, and I have seen this kind of weather a lot. It doesn't matter if you want a cloak or not!"

After she finished speaking, she got on her horse and walked towards the barbarian's camp on the opposite side. Pei Qing's team and Zhe Ji's entourage had just arrived at Shengshi. There is a misunderstanding about this queen.

The officers and soldiers from the northern border came to pick up Bei Chenling and sent her to the temporary camp. Because Bei Chenling only had one maid, the soldiers set up a military tent for Bei Chenling alone to shelter from the rain overnight.

After Bei Chenling entered the military tent, a soldier brought firewood for heating at night, and the maid lit a fire with a brazier. Bei Chenling first took off the outer cloak and hung it on a wooden stand.

The cloak was wet from the rain on her clothes. Bei Chenling thought that she would return the cloak to Zhe Ji in the future, so she had to dry the cloak with fire.

The maid brought out the changed clothes, and Bei Chenling changed the clothes, and then she felt a little more comfortable, but she still felt a little cold, and it was better to wait by the brazier.

The maid went to the orderly in the camp to get some ginger, and cooked some ginger soup on the orderly's stove, and brought it to Bei Chenling. Bei Chenling held the stone bowl, looked down and thought for a while, and suddenly said to the waitress:

"Go and deliver this ginger soup to Her Majesty the Queen of Boca."

Prairie people and barbarians definitely don't have the habit of drinking ginger soup, Bei Chenling thought.

But Zhe Ji was also exposed to the rain today, and after Zhe Ji gave her the cloak, she must have also suffered from the cold. Zhe Ji helped her today, so she should reciprocate.

The waitress gave a reply, and immediately turned around and stepped out of the tent to make arrangements.

As Zhe Ji said, the rain did not stop today, and at night, when it got dark, the vast grassland in the distance looked deep and silent under the night.

Because of the rain, there was no moon in the sky, and we couldn't even see the light. At night, we couldn't see anything. We could only hear the pattering rain falling on the camp tent, making the clattering sound.

Fortunately, there was a fire in the camp, and the light could shine on it, so it didn't look so desolate.

The maid stayed outside the tent and set up a shed to go out. Although it could keep out the rain, it was still cold when the wind blew. When the cold wind came, she couldn't help shivering.

Bei Chenling lifted the curtain and went out, and asked the maid to follow her into the tent to keep warm.

The night was getting deeper, usually it was time to stay in bed and rest, but Bei Chenling didn't feel sleepy at all. She sat by the fire, fiddled with the firewood in the basin from time to time, thinking how long it would take for this long night to end.

If what Zhe Ji said was true and the rain continued for several days, wouldn't she have to stay in Shengshi for several days?

Bei Chenling was very troubled. The maid was idle and felt that she should find something to do. Moreover, it was already late, she thought that it was time for Bei Chenling to stay and rest, so she took the initiative to tidy up Bei Chenling's bed.

After a while, Bei Chenling was still fiddling with the charcoal fire in the stove when he suddenly heard an exclamation.

Bei Chenling raised her head upon hearing the sound, and looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, but seeing the maid running over in a hurry, with a very anxious expression on her face, she said to Bei Chenling:

"Ma'am! It's not good! The tent leaked, and the mattress on the bed was wet by the rain. I'm afraid it won't work now!"

The maid's exclamation just now was short and urgent, and it spread far away.

Bei Chenling blinked, looked at the maid's anxious little face, shook her head helplessly, and said:

"It's fine if you can't sleep, take the mattress and dry it together, and then rest after drying."

Anyway, she is not sleepy now.

The maid was in a hurry, but she had no other way. The supplies in the temporary camp were limited, and most likely there were not many mattresses. It was already late now, so it was hard to bother the soldiers to find them. Bei Chenling wanted to check the situation of the blankets first. If it's not too serious, just make do with the fire, if it doesn't work, I'll think about it tomorrow.

Bei Chenling had already spoken, so the maid had no choice but to follow Bei Chenling's arrangement. First, she took the rain-soaked quilt and put it on a wooden shelf to roast it. Bei Chenling reached out and touched it, and it was almost soaked.

Bei Chenling sighed helplessly, it seemed that she was doomed to not be able to sleep today, and she didn't know if the rain would stop tomorrow, if it didn't stop tomorrow, her mattress probably wouldn't be able to do it, and going on like this is not an option.

She stood by the brazier and rubbed her hands, feeling very sad in her heart, as if continuous rain can wet people's mood, making her mood viscous and melancholy.

She misses the capital a little bit.

Just as Bei Chenling was fascinated by the firewood, there was a commotion outside the tent. The maid's exclamation just now alarmed the guards outside the night watch. The guards came outside the tent and asked loudly in the rain:

"Fufu Ling, what happened just now?"

The guards have come to ask, it would be better if this problem can be solved as soon as possible.

The maid received Bei Chenling's instruction, opened the door curtain and went out, and told the guard that Bei Chenling's mattress was wet from the rain. mattress.

In the barbarian camp on the opposite side, Zhe Ji lit the oil lamp in the tent and was reading with a book in her hand. Suddenly, she heard the noise outside. Zhe Ji put down the book, walked out of the tent, and asked the barbarian guards:

"Go and see what's going on over there?"

The barbarian guard rushed to Ningguo's camp to check, and found out that the tent of Ningguo's maid had leaked from the rain, and the mattress was wet by the rain, and most of them could not be used. Now the camp is checking to see if there are any extra bedding for the maid. emergency.

Zhe Ji grabbed the braids on her head, bared her teeth, and said with a light smile:

"This female official in Ningguo is really in a lot of trouble."

After saying that, she turned around and got into the tent, put on a leather robe to keep out the rain, and put on a hat. After notifying the guards, she walked towards the opposite camp.
