Lu Qing was so anxious that she almost died. They were standing on the edge of a cliff, and if they were not careful they would fall into the North Great River. Yu Mingchuan actually carried her up like a child.
Of course Lu Qing did not enter the North Great River. After they finished exploring the mines, they immediately went back to the Yumen Pass without stopping.
Yu Mingchuan said that it was because of the snow that made it so easy for them to bypass Anxi and come here. Usually, there were three miles a guard, five miles a guard, and Zhang Shi's men were guarding them against going elsewhere.
Lu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. She was still thinking about how silly she would be, and Yu Mingchuan was also wondering why she would want to go out in the snow.
By the time they returned to the Yumen Pass, it was already the fifth fragment of the night sky.
Lu Qing was the first to take off her clothes and jump into the tub as she watched the hot air rise up. She grabbed the barrel and waited eagerly for Yu Mingchuan to come in.
Her fear of water wasn't that great now, but she still didn't dare to stand directly in the tub. The feeling of not being able to stand on solid ground even when the water had reached her neck was too terrible.
Yu Mingchuan slowly took off his clothes and stretched his long and sturdy limbs, causing Lu Qing to blush. Luckily, the heat was strong, so she could just treat it as being steamed red.
When Yu Mingchuan came in, Lu Qing leaned against his chest a little bashfully, waiting for him to scrub her.
As usual, Yu Mingchuan helped Lu Qing clean her body a little. However, the person in his arms was a little stiff. Occasionally, her body would tremble. It seemed a little different from before.
Lu Qing didn't dare to sleep in Yu Mingchuan's arms that night. Something seemed to be coming out of her heart, making her at a loss of what to do.
In the end, even though she was very sleepy, Lu Qing still didn't fall asleep until the first glimmer of dawn.
The next morning, Yu Mingchuan got up and left. Before he left, he even hugged Lu Qing and kissed her on the forehead.
Lu Qing snorted twice and let him go. She was very tired and didn't want to get up at all. The snow on the ground was still fresh, so she probably didn't need to do morning training.
It was just that outside the door, there was always an annoying guy coughing one moment and the other time. It was an endless stream of coughing sounds.
Lu Qing got out of bed after having been in bed for a while longer.
That clear cough was simply demonic. She was afraid that if she didn't get out of bed, that person's lungs would cough out.
After washing up, Lu Qing opened the door and saw a tall, skinny and handsome young man who was covering his mouth with his hands, about to cough again.
"Pulmonary tuberculosis?"
Lu Qing rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
The kid glared at her. "Young Madam, can you not curse this lowly one like that …"
This Voice... Lu Qing remembered. This was Huo Jing, who came back from the snowy night. She didn't expect him to be so handsome after shaving.
Of course, they were far from being able to compare with the monsters of their clan.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Qing looked at the yard. All the snow had been cleared away, and the gray stone road was clean. Only the roof and walls were still white.
"Didn't the young general instruct us to protect Young Madam?"
Lu Qing remembered. That night, Yu Mingchuan did say that he would protect her, but this guy didn't seem as calm as Faang Jiming.
"Don't talk too much. Just don't call me 'Madam' after you leave this door. Commandant must have told you about this before, right?"
Huo Jing quickly nodded and told Young Madam to keep quiet. If he didn't listen to what Young Madam said, then those guys would probably make his butt bloom.
He had never seen Lu Qing display those weird abilities before. He had just heard Faang Jiming and his other brothers talk about it, and he was already extremely curious. Now that he was by her side, there should at least be a chance.
