MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1076 Hug a dragon thigh!
Chapter 1076 I hugged a dragon’s thigh!
The little girl guarding the door had not seen Mu Jue for a long time. He changed his appearance again. Now he blocked the door and asked, "Who are you? What do you want in our house?"
Mu Jue couldn't laugh or cry. Just when he was about to speak, Zheng Qi came back from outside and shouted loudly from a distance.
“Brother Mu, are you back?”
Mu Jue turned around and smiled, showing his white teeth, "Yes, I was stopped as soon as I got to the door."
Zheng Qi stepped forward, looked at him carefully, and couldn't help laughing.
“Brother Mu, what kind of errand are you on? It’s too dark. Not to mention other people, even I can’t recognize you.”
Mu Jue patted the back of his head and said, "Stop asking around and take me to see the princess quickly."
Zheng Qi quickly spoke to the little girl, and then led Mu Jue into the courtyard.
Wan'er came out of the kitchen and was happy to see Mu Jue.
She knew that Mu Jue was busy with the family during this period, and he was also the future husband chosen by the Marquis for his sister-in-law.
No matter whether the marriage happens or not, Mu Jue is busy with her family, so she should always be grateful and take more care of her.
So she greeted Mu Jue and said, "Guard Mu, after you have spoken to the princess, remember to stay for dinner. I will ask the kitchen to cook some of your favorite dishes."
Mu Jue was not polite, raised his hands in salute, and said with a smile, "Thank you, madam. It would be best if you have meat and steamed buns. I have been hungry for several days, and I wish I could put a cow in my stomach!"
Wan'er quickly turned around and told Shuiyun to add vegetables.
There was a cook in the family, but her skills were far inferior to Shuiyun's.
After Shuiyun came back, the cook became the foundation, happily learning her skills every day.
Mu Jue entered the corner gate of the backyard and saw Jiayin coming out after hearing the news.
The two of them sat directly at the stone table under the tree and started talking.
"Where have you been these past few days? It's been very hard?" Jiayin glanced at Mu Jue, who had a black charcoal head, and wanted to laugh but felt unkind.
Mu Jue didn't think so. Seeing Jiayin holding back his laughter, he regretted not getting darker.
"Such a big thing happened in the new capital, and it must be spread out in time. I sent a message to Jiangbei, and I also arranged manpower for the southwest and southeast. In addition, I also secretly kept an eye on a few people. The mansion. In short, I didn’t suffer much, but the food and accommodation were certainly not that comfortable.”
At this time, Shui Ling touched a plate from the house and came out.
Jiayin took a knife and planned to peel a golden fruit for Mu Jue to quench his thirst.
He took it directly, opened his mouth and took a big mouthful, and responded vaguely, "I'm not a little girl, so I don't need to be so particular. I cut my hand carefully."
As he was talking, he remembered something and took out an exquisite box from his arms and gave it to Jiayin.
“I met it on the road. It looks very beautiful. I bought it for you to play with.”
Jiayin opened the box and saw a pair of gold and jade bracelets inside, which were made of transparent ice. A thin gold chain hung from the mouth of the bracelet, and two small jade rabbits hung there. It was really exquisite and cute.
“Ah, it’s so cute!” Jiayin immediately took it out and put it on her wrist.
The white and slender wrists are lined with gold and jade, adding a bit of softness.
Shui Ling couldn't help but praise, "This bracelet is so beautiful. It's such a clever idea. It must have been thought out by the master."
Mu Jue continued to chew on the golden fruit, with the corners of his mouth raised and unable to get it down.
In fact, he had purchased the jade material a long time ago and asked a master to customize it individually. The designs were all drawn by him.
Such a good thing can't be found casually on the street.
But no matter how it came, it was all for this moment, the joy of the beloved girl... Jiayin saw that Mu Jue was eating well and was worried that he was hungry, so he asked Shuiling to go to the kitchen and start dinner early.
As a result, as soon as Shui Ling left, the little fox jumped down from the wall.
Jiayin was so surprised that she quickly hugged her and gently smoothed her fur.
“Sanjo, why are you back at this time? Are you hungry? Are you tired?”
Mu Jue pinched half of the melon in her hand and suddenly felt it was no longer sweet.
They all came back from outside, and even he was more tired and farther away, but why didn't he get the treatment like the little fox?
The little fox may have guessed what he was thinking, and he crawled into his master's arms even more proudly, wagging his big tail.
Jiayin fed the little fox fruit and asked, "We haven't seen each other for two days. Why does Sanjo seem to have gained weight? Did the third princess feed you too much meat?"
The little fox rolled his black bean-like eyes and decisively pretended to be stupid.
It absolutely cannot admit that it has hugged the thigh of a dragon recently...
Fortunately, Jiayin did not dwell on this small change and asked softly, "Is there something going on in the palace that made you come back all the way?"
The little fox immediately started chirping, and occasionally danced and jumped around the table.
The more he listened to the good news, the deeper his frown deepened. It was hard to tell whether his expression was disappointment or anger.
Mu Jue felt very strange when he saw this, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to interrupt.
It wasn't until the little fox finished barking that Jiayin hugged it and asked, "Do you know how long that person will delay?"
The little fox stretched out his paw, drew a circle on the palm of Jiayin's hand, and then crossed out half of it.
Jiayin nodded and took some fish cakes from the satchel for the little fox.
The little fox ate happily, and its big tail almost flew away.
Mu Jue couldn't bear it any longer. He coughed dryly and asked, "What happened?"
Jiayin responded, "The third batch of military rations cannot be delivered to Jiangbei on time. It will be delayed for at least half a month."
Mu Jue also looked ugly and asked, "What on earth did that man think? The battlefield ahead is changing rapidly, and there is a lack of food. Do we want the soldiers to starve and kill the barbarians?"
“Food from various places has been collected for a long time. Even if it is a little more difficult, it will not be delayed for half a month.
"What on earth is he doing? No one in the court has done anything, but he is so cruel. Doesn't it mean that he treats the Marquis like a brother?"
Jiayin snorted coldly, "The most ruthless emperor's family! In history, how many emperors have killed their own brothers in order to ascend to power? Besides, my adoptive father is just his cousin! Moreover, it is unlikely that he will be able to transport military supplies in half a month. , I’m afraid something might happen.”
"What else has happened?" Mu Jue was a little annoyed. He had served in the Northern Expeditionary Army and had eaten military meals.
Even if the soldiers are not going out to kill the enemy, they still have to train, which consumes a lot of physical strength. However, they only have two meals a day, and each person only eats more than half of his food.
In the past, the vanguard could occasionally go hunting in the mountains, or grab some food from the barbarians, and even replenish some.
But the weather this year is so bad that the mountains and forests in Jiangbei have dried up a lot, and wild animals are not living well.
Not to mention the fields, the barbarians drove some slaves to plant a few crops, and most of them died of drought. So much so that it is no longer possible to seize food and use war to support war.
Otherwise, if the barbarians are hungry, the slaves may be thrown into the pot.
You must know that these slaves were originally Tianwu people who were unlucky enough to be caught!
"In half a month, the prince will ascend the throne. After the prince ascends the throne, he still has to choose his concubine." Jiayin responded, "It will take a month before the prince will have a firm foothold in the court. By then, no matter how we arrange it, it will definitely be No one has thought clearly about it.
“Whether you want to keep the reputation of ruling the country for yourself, or give it to your son as a stepping stone, this is a difficult question!
“But after all, this great achievement needs to be shared between the father and son, and it is not the turn of... outsiders!”
