It was fortunate that she didn't serve her second husband. She had already served her twentieth husband, so it was unknown where her confidence came from. Yet, her skin was actually so thick.
Lu Qing still underestimated Wang Qiang's confidence because it was already winter and she had started to open her collar again. Especially during the journey to their oxcart, the spectacular sight made Wang Jian's eyes widen.
Yu Mingchuan didn't even turn around. He still carried Lu Qing in his arms and rode the horse slowly back.
"Beauty, Yu Mingchuan doesn't like women. It's better if you come with me to the Yang Pass, I know how to love people the most, I'll make sure you stay here every night …"
Wang Qiang turned around and realized that there was a handsome military lord with her. Although, he was weaker than Yu Mingchuan, he was still much stronger than those soldiers.
Wang Qiang hesitated as she looked at Yu Mingchuan, who didn't turn around and then looked at the young man drooling at her collar.
"Right now, they can't even eat a single grain of salt in the Yumen. At the very least, our Yang Pass still has a dozen or so pickled vegetables. If you follow me, and have these every day, what are you thinking of?"
Wang Qiang straightened her body and dried her tears. She grabbed Wang Jian's hand and stood up.
Wang Jian did not stop for a moment. He did not pull the food, but brought the two carriages of widows with him as he anxiously returned to Yang Pass.
When Nong, Liu, and Feng Yi gave a few bags of salt to take away to Wang Jian, where would they see a shadow?
On the way back, Lu Qing still couldn't help but ask the questions in her heart.
"Yu Mingchuan, the food supply is only enough for one month. What do you plan to do?"
Yu Mingchuan lowered his head and put his mouth close to Lu Qing's ear, "Madam, can you guess?"
Lu Qing turned her head to the side to avoid his intimacy, "The salt from that night, did Liu Chen go to exchange for food?"
"Madame is very smart."
"I don't know when I'll be able to come back. Since I've settled down here, if you have no other choice, then I'll have to think of one myself."
Lu Qingke remembered that when she passed by those lakes, she saw some residual lotus and mushrooms by the water's edge. She wondered if they didn't know that those things could be eaten and didn't see anyone digging.
"Wait a little longer."
Seeing Lu Qing's awkward position, Yu Mingchuan stopped moving closer to her.
How could he not tell her? Lu Qing curled her lips, yesterday when Xue Yan was talking about Dunhuang, he was interrupted. Perhaps Yu Mingchuan had set his sights on Dunhuang? Didn't the Liangzhou soldiers who sent them here that day all go to rest at the Dunhuang?
She was already a little tired of eating mutton every day, so regardless of his plans, she had to go and improve her diet.
After returning to the Yumen Entrance that day, Yu Mingchuan was busy so he let Lu Qing go, but still sent Faang Jiming to follow her.
Lu Qing initially suspected that it was to prevent her from escaping, but after thinking for a while, she felt that Yu Mingchuan was not that stupid. She wholeheartedly wanted Han Shuo to learn something from Mr Sanshan, so how could they just run away like that.
Lu Qing ignored Faang Jiming who followed her like a shadow. She first went to see Han Shuo, and seeing that he was learning how to read from Mr Sanshan, she didn't disturb them. After looking for a while, she went to Xue Yan.
Xue Yan was not present. Upon hearing that Zhang Cheng and Yang Jin were going to dig up lotus roots, Zhang Cheng and the others excitedly grabbed a shovel and a few baskets and followed them out.
At the eastern side of Yumen Pass, there was a lake that was neither too big nor too small, called Southern Garden Lake. Right now, it could be considered late autumn.
Lu Qing walked along the lake for a while and realized that the water in the area where the lotus was located was quite deep. No wonder no one wanted to dig it up. It was a cold day and no one wanted to dive underwater to dig up the lotus roots.
