Chapter 887: The Family Arrives
The continuous snowstorms caused the Han army to be trapped in Gaonu County and it was difficult to withdraw back to Guanzhong for a while. However, the Han army had sufficient food and supplies, and tens of thousands of camp tents were seized, allowing 100,000 Han soldiers to maintain their morale and wait patiently until the snowstorm ended.
At noon that day, Liu Jing reviewed documents in the big tent as usual. This was a batch of urgent documents sent to him by a messenger from Luochuan Road north.
Although blizzards in Gaonu County are raging, Luochuan Road is a valley and is blocked by the mountains on both sides, making the snow much smaller. Although the road is difficult, it can barely be able to walk, so the communication line has always been relatively smooth.
At this time, a guard reported at the entrance of the tent: "Your Highness, there is a guard in the royal palace outside the camp asking for a visit."
Liu Jing was stunned and came from the palace. Did he send a letter from his home? He immediately ordered: "Take him to see me!"
Soon after, the guard was taken into the tent, and it turned out to be a female guard. She bowed and said anxiously: "Report to Your Highness, your wife is trapped in Qingshiyu, and I beg your Highness to go and greet her."
Liu Jing didn't understand and asked again: "What are you talking about? Who is trapped in Qingshiyu?"
"It's Mrs. Xiao Qiao. Our party went north from Guanzhong and the journey was smooth. But when we arrived in Qingshiyu, a blizzard suddenly came and the carriage could not leave. We were also worried that our wife's body would not withstand the wind and cold, so I will report to Your Highness first and ask for your Highness for help."
Liu Jing suddenly stood up and shouted anxiously: "Prepare the camel caravan and go to Qingshiyu immediately!"
Liu Jing also secretly complained in his heart, why did his family let Xiao Qiao go north at this time? Even if the war ended, how could their women afford such a big snowstorm? He was even more anxious when he thought of Xiao Qiao's delicate body.
The Han army seized more than a thousand camels carrying supplies in the Huns' logistics camp. These camels were tall and strong, and could not only transport goods or use them as camel riding. His more than a thousand guards practiced every day and were already very skilled.
Liu Jing and more than a thousand guards rode on camels and led by the female guards, they headed to Qingshiyu south under the blizzard. Qingshiyu is the exit of Luochuan Road. It is a canyon about two miles long. This canyon seems to be a watershed of blizzard. Although there is thick snow on the south side of the canyon, the wind is not strong, and it is just fluttering and heavy snow.
When he left the entrance of the valley, the cold wind was roaring and the blizzard was raging. Not to mention that the carriage could not be walked, it was extremely difficult to ride a horse. Xiao Qiao and his party hid in the valley. Although there was snow in the valley, it was much better than outside the valley.
Xiao Qiao and two maids sat in the carriage. They wrapped their bodies in thick blankets and were trembling with cold. The two hundred soldiers escorted them lit two fires. Everyone squeezed in front of the fire to keep warm, drinking and eating dry food.
At this time, it was already dark and they were trapped for a whole day, hungry and thirsty. The maid took out the dry food and handed it to Xiao Qiao, "Madam, eat something!"
Xiao Qiao shook her head, "You guys eat it! I don't want to eat it for the time being."
At this time, Xiao Qiao felt a little regretful. She only heard that the war was over, so she told Tao Zhan that she wanted to go to Gaonu County to see the general. Tao Zhan had no experience in the north, and she was not at ease with her husband, so she agreed.
Unexpectedly, the heavy snow in Guanzhong is completely different from the heavy snow in Gaonu County. It was a blizzard. The snow was over the knees and the carriage could not walk at all. Xiao Qiao sighed in his heart and then anxiously visited north through the car window. Why didn’t the general come to pick him up yet?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and the soldiers stood up one after another. A female guard ran to the carriage and said excitedly to Xiao Qiao: "Madam, your highness and the others are here."
Xiao Qiao was overjoyed and saw a large group of camels running towards him, with a man riding on the tall and strong camels, which was her husband Liu Jing. At this time, Xiao Qiao felt a little nervous. Will Liu Jing blame him for coming in the snow?
Liu Jing jumped off the camel and ordered the guards, "It's getting late, just spend the night in the valley and set off tomorrow morning!"
The soldiers were all prepared to take the tent from the camel and start laying it down in the valley. At this time, Liu Jing quickly walked to the carriage, the window opened, revealing Xiao Qiao's beautiful face. Before Liu Jing could speak, Xiao Qiao said first: "If you blame me, I will go back immediately!"
Liu Jing laughed, reached out to hold her pretty face, covered her cold face with her warm big hands, and said softly: "Are you warmer?"
Xiao Qiao felt her husband's warm hands, and when she heard his gentle greetings, her nose couldn't help but feel sore, and tears almost rolled out. Liu Jing felt pity in her heart, opened the car door, carried her out of the carriage, and hugged her tightly in her arms.
At this time, Xiao Qiao saw that there was no one around, so she whispered to Liu Jing and said coquettishly: "I'm hungry."
Liu Jing laughed, held her hand and said, "Come with me!"
The soldiers had already lit up more than a dozen bonfires. The soldiers gathered together and were busy barbecuing and chatting. Liu Jing held Xiao Qiao's hand and came to a small bonfire. Two maids quickly put blankets on them by the fire. Liu Jing hugged Xiao Qiao and sat down. Seeing that the two maids were trembling all over, he smiled and said, "You guys sit down and cook the fire too!"
At this time, several guards brought a whole sheep with a washed and peeled sheep. Liu Jing said to them, "I'll come here, you go!" Several guards retreated, and Liu Jing set up the lamb and grilled it slowly in the fire. He smiled and said to Xiao Qiao, "Tonight we will eat roasted lamb, drink milk wine, live in felt tents, and be nomads."
Xiao Qiao had never had such an experience. She was very interested and hurriedly said, "Let me try it!"
Liu Jing handed her the roasted lamb iron rack and taught her step by step, "Just turn it over slowly, then bake it for a while and brush it with a layer of sauce, and then continue to roast it."
The two maids also poured two glasses of wine and handed them, "Madam, rest, let's bake!"
Xiao Qiao shook her head, "I want to bake and have fun. You can drink your own wine. You can be more casual tonight, without any politeness."
Liu Jing had seen them keep glancing at the group of female guards next to him, laughing and laughing, and even more comfortable, so he knew their thoughts, so he took the wine glass and smiled, "I guess you are not comfortable here, you can go!"
The two maids were so scared that their faces looked like earth. They knelt down together. Xiao Qiao and they went north and got along very well. Seeing that they were scared, they quickly said softly: "General, you guys have good intentions. You don't need to serve you."
The two maids slowly retreated and went to the side of the female guards. Soon they heard their silver bell-like laughter. Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Is it so boring and terrible to be with me?"
Xiao Qiao smiled and handed him the grill, "What is your identity? Do they dare to be presumptuous in front of you? Don't talk about them, even I, a little girl, is timid, for fear of annoying you and being sent to the cold palace by you."
Liu Jing barbecue with his left hand, but his right hand hugged her waist, hugged her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her face and smiled: "It's so heavy snow that I'm still coming to see me. Is it like a full moon, and my light is reduced every night?"
Xiao Qiao's beautiful eyes lit up and she asked in a low voice: "Are you the only two sentences?"
Liu Jing thought about it and said slowly: "Since you have come out, you will no longer understand the residual situation. I miss you like the full moon, and the clear light is reduced every night."
Xiao Qiao was amazed in her heart that her husband actually had a beautiful poem, but Liu Jing didn't let her think about it. She pressed her mouth into the wine glass and smiled: "I asked the two maids to leave, but I want you to pour wine for her husband."
Xiao Qiao smiled pursed her lips, broke free from his hands, picked up the wine pot, poured two glasses of wine, and held both hands in front of Liu Jing, "Please, husband!"
Liu Jing took the wine glass and drank it all, and said to her: "Drink too!"
Xiao Qiao rarely drinks, but she was extremely happy tonight, so she poured herself a glass. She picked up the glass and said with a smile: "I wish you a glass for me!"
Liu Jing clinked glasses with her and drank the wine in one go. Xiao Qiao also slowly drank a glass of milk wine, and her face suddenly turned red. At this time, the mutton had already been burnt and fragrant. Liu Jing cut two large pieces with a knife, put them on a plate, and handed them to her and smiled: "Slice them with a knife, let go tonight, eat a little bit of meat, and drink in big mouthfuls of wine, which is the true nature of a woman."
Xiao Qiao took the plate, shook her head gently and said, "The true nature of a woman is not a big stutter. She should be fighting with a man to kill the enemy."
There was a burst of laughter in the valley, and everyone drank wine and meat. Xiao Qiao ate a small plate of meat and drank two glasses of wine, and then she seemed a little overwhelmed with alcohol. Her eyes were as bright as water, and she looked at Liu Jing. Looking at her husband's burly and tall figure, she couldn't help feeling a little happy, and snuggled in his arms, and laughed quietly: "Husband deliberately got me drunk. Could it be that something bad to do tonight?"
Liu Jing's heart was shaken and he smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"That won't work! They are bumpy and hard, so you have to pity me."
"Okay then! I'll sleep tonight and let you have a good rest."
Xiao Qiao pinched him quietly, bit her lip and whispered: "You fool!"
Liu Jing could no longer help but pull her up and walked towards the camp. His big tent had been laid, and it was a double-layer round tent. The tent was covered with thick carpets, and the brazier had already baked the tent as warm as spring.
Liu Jing pulled Xiao Qiao into the tent, immediately hugged her in his arms, lowered her head, Xiao Qiao stretched out her arms and wrapped her neck, her cherry lips greeted her, and the two kissed each other tightly.
Liu Jing's heart was filled with desire, and his hand reached into her skirt, stroking her smooth and plump body wantonly, and grabbed the soft hills on her chest. Xiao Qiao closed her eyes and let her husband caress and knead her slightly rudely.
When Liu Jing's hand was about to untie her crotch, Xiao Qiao held it down, "Don't! No one is sleeping now. When they are all asleep, I will serve my husband again." She said softly.
Liu Jing shook his head and smiled, "This is the king's tent. Do you think who will break in?"
"But"
Liu Jing no longer gave her a chance, and her hands penetrated into her skirt again. After some caressing, Xiao Qiao's heart finally melted. She closed her eyes and let her husband give her a gift.
