C55 The Little Temper of King Heng

After Xiao Heng carried the sleeping Little Treasure into the cage, he took out a bag from his waist and threw it to her: "When we're out of the North Gate, we'll be able to walk a few more steps into the Little Leaf City. At that time, we can take a short rest and continue our journey after lunch.

Yun Shu opened her bag and took out an item wrapped in oilpaper: "I didn't think that the dignified duke would bring food with him."

Xiao Heng shook his head: "Even if I had to bring food with me, I wouldn't bring this sort of thing with me. This king doesn't like eating, so this is something this king just stole from the kitchen of the general's estate.

Yun Shu who had just opened her oilpaper saw that there was a sour plum inside. "…" This was most likely for Madam Lu.

She took a piece and put it in her mouth for a few sips. Then, she frowned from the sour taste. "Speaking of which, in your country, is it considered stealing from someone else's kitchen?"

"It counts, but no one has seen This King secretly having sour plums." As he finished speaking, the corners of Xiao Heng's mouth rose in a slightly complacent manner.

Yun Shu nodded her head in understanding, then said: "Prince, can you open your golden mouth for a bit?"

"Why?" Although he was confused as to why she would make such a strange request, he still opened his mouth a little after asking. However, in the next moment, a sour plum was thrown into his mouth.

He subconsciously wanted to spit out what was in his mouth, but just as he was about to raise his hand to his mouth, the woman opposite him pulled his hand away. "Hey, don't waste the food."

When Xiao Heng saw her joyful expression, he did not plan to spit it out. Instead, he used his tongue to twist the sour plum into his teeth. The usually gentle and handsome face was suddenly filled with the words "Life is better than death". However, when the girl opposite him saw the expression on his face and laughed out loud, he felt that the taste in her mouth had become less sour.

"What kind of place is Enoch?" Yun Zhuang asked, overjoyed when she saw him gritting his teeth in annoyance.

Xiao Heng nodded his head, "It is not that this king is exaggerating. There are simply too many advantages to our country's capital, Yino. I don't even know where to begin, but you should like it. By the way, we'll almost start snowing by the time we get there. There is almost no time for heavy snow in the Kingdom of Yanzhou, right? "

Yun Shu thought about it for a moment, then nodded and replied, "I've only seen a slightly larger snowfall seven or eight years ago. "How thick is the snow in Enoch?"

"At least half of my calf."

Hearing the answer, Yun Shu smiled in surprise: "Is it that exaggerated? Is it cold? "

"It's alright, but you might not be used to it. When the time comes, This King will ask someone to bring more winter clothes and a warm stove to your room."

"Then thank you very much, your highness," Yun Zhuang said with a smile. In fact, although there was very little snow in the Yan Kingdom during winter, it was also very cold.

The winter wind in Yan Guo was like a knife. When you stepped out of the door, it would scrape your face red, and when you weren't paying attention, it would sneak into your dress, letting you feel what was called 'bone-chilling cold'. Therefore, the winter of Dazhuang may not be colder than Yan Guo, but it was still a good thing to have more heat stoves and winter clothes.

Xiao Heng waved his hand. "Sure, sure."

The countryside between the tiger's anger and the small leaf was exceptionally beautiful. Although everything was in a state of decline, the short trees beside the official road were still green, but Yun Shu was not in the mood to appreciate them since she had discovered that her stomach had become even emptier after eating a few sour plums. She only wished to reach Little Leaf City as soon as possible.

As soon as she had put down the curtain by the little window, the carriage came to a halt. Xiao Heng opened the carriage door. "What happened?"

Qin Zhou, who had just jumped down from the carriage, glanced at the carriage behind her. "Madam Lu is not feeling well. It seems that it's because of her sickness. I helped Madam Lu to walk to the side of the road."

Yun Shu immediately jumped down from the carriage and walked towards the two people by the roadside. "Didn't you prepare some sour plums for the madam?"

"I left in a hurry and didn't make it in time. Furthermore, this old one thinks that I'm not too far away from Lil 'Ye City. Madam might be able to hold it in …" "This is exactly what Madam told this old one this morning …" The old woman replied as she helped Madam Lu to carry her.

Seeing that Madam Lu was still feeling extremely upset, Yun Shu could only take out the sour plum that she had left behind and quickly handed the oil-paper over. "Does Madam need this?"

Madam Lu nodded weakly. She took one and put it in her mouth. Her pale face finally looked better. "Thank you, young lady."

"Madam is too polite." Yun Shu placed the rest of the treasures in her hands before turning around and returning to the carriage in front of them. As soon as he entered the carriage, however, he saw Xiao Heng's appraising gaze.

Yun Shu sat back down guiltily. "You aren't afraid that Madam Lu will know that you stole the sour plum from the kitchen, are you? "The taste of the sour plums is almost the same as those sold on the street outside. Madam Lu probably won't be able to taste them."

"This King is not worried about that." He frowned slightly, and turned his head as if he was sulking. He lifted the curtain of his window to look outside for a while, then returned his gaze to Yun Shu, "You're the first one who dares to so easily give this duke a reward to others in front of this king."

Yun Shu was momentarily stunned. "…"

"I just hope to get to Lil 'Ye City as soon as possible. If you offend the prince, then come and settle the score with me after lunch. It would be too tragic if you starve to death. " Her words seemed to have a 'a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water' tone.

Xiao Heng gave her a deep look and sighed as he shifted his gaze away. "Forget it, this duke never likes to hold grudges, but if you dare to do this again next time, don't blame this prince for punishing you."

Yun Zhui nodded, indicating that he would remember. However, right after, Xiao Heng lightly patted her head. "So obedient."

Yun Shu, "…" For some reason, she suddenly had the feeling that Xiao Heng was treating her like Little Treasure.

After about an hour, they finally arrived at the Little Leaf City without a hitch. But it was as Xiao Huan had said, they set off again after lunch, and did not stop at all.

Along the way, perhaps seeing that she was bored in the carriage, Xiao Hengheng had the Qin Prefecture buy a rather interesting wild history and leave it in the carriage for her to pass the time. However, after a short while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep on his shoulder.

Xiao Heng had been looking out the window at the great scenery outside. He hadn't thought that his right shoulder would suddenly be hit so hard. While being stunned, he didn't forget to turn his head around and look.

When his gaze fell upon the book that was about to slip from her hands, he couldn't help but laugh. He took the book from her hand and placed it aside, then moved his head away from his shoulder. His right hand also quickly extended to embrace her, almost pulling her into an embrace.

Xiao Heng only woke her up when the carriage stopped outside an inn in Jing Yi City, which was separated from Little Leaf City by a distance of Jinling.

Yun Shu raised her hand to cover her mouth as she yawned. Only then did she realize that she was leaning on the shoulder of the person beside her, causing her to immediately sit up in fright.

"Don't worry, This King didn't do anything to you. You were the one drooling all over This King. Say it, how should This King compensate for it?"

Yun Shu glanced at the material on his shoulder, but she could not find any traces of wetting.

"I'm just teasing you, get off the carriage. At this hour, even if I'm not hungry, Madam Lu should be hungry too. Don't delay Madam Lu's dinner."

Yunshu nodded and followed Xiao Heng, who was in a good mood after his joke, down from the carriage.

Unknowingly, they had already left Hu Nu for several days, and had always been in a hurry these past few days. Even if they went to the inn in the evening, they would only have to eat dinner before returning to their respective rooms to rest. However, Yun Shu felt that she was not qualified to give any opinions on this matter, so she could only temporarily restrain her playful nature, and at most open the window and look out onto the street.

Although Jing Yi City was much smaller than Little Leaf-leaf and Jinling, the scenery here was better — Xiao Huan told her it was because it was closer to Yi Nuo.

She couldn't help but become more curious about him.

Perhaps it was because of the close proximity of Dazhalan to the west, but the further west they went, the stranger the food and culture became — at least she had never seen a silver fork in Yanzhou for meat, and the meat was bloody and obviously unripe.

The first time she saw it, she almost vomited. Because of this, Xiao Heng even laughed at the fact that she could not see such food even after going to the battlefield.

Perhaps it was to take care of her taste, but when Xiao Heng asked Qin Prefecture to order, he skipped over the half-cooked meat.

Not long after he returned to his room with Xiang and Xiang, there was a knock on the door. He didn't expect that the person who had come would be Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng said: "Tonight is Jing Yi's lanterns party. Would you like to take a look?"

"There are lanterns here too?"

"Of course, isn't the Flower Lantern Club something that can be found wherever there are Chinese people? But it's not quite the same as Yan Guo's. Should we go? "

It would be best for her to have some fun in her boring life, so she immediately nodded and replied, "I'll go call them. Your Highness, can you call the others?" As he spoke, he turned around and started down the stairs that led to the backyard.

Coincidentally and the Qin Province would practice their sword techniques for two to four hours in the backyard of the inn they were staying during the day every time they ate dinner.

Who would have thought that after taking two steps, Xiao Heng would pull her back and directly take her down the stairs to the first floor's main hall. "Wouldn't it be better to let those two sword idiots practice their sword skills as much as possible? He didn't want to risk his life when he met bandits on the way. "Madam Lu and that seriously ill lady definitely don't want to tire me out either. That old lady must be taking care of those two."

At this point, Xiao Heng turned his head and revealed a meaningful smile to her: "So only this king can go out with you."

Yun Shu's footsteps immediately halted. "Then I better not go." As he spoke, he was about to withdraw his hand from Xiao Heng's.

However, Xiao Heng approached her with a smile. "You aren't afraid of being alone with me, are you?"

Yun Shu: "What's so scary about it?"

"Sure, then follow me. The later you go, the more you miss." With that, he turned around and continued to lead her out of the inn.

She glanced at her wrist, not knowing what to do.
