Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 103 Da Xi'an's Feelings
After the three of them finished lunch, Han Ruize left to deal with the post-war repairs of Huayun Village and the various affairs concerning the stay of the two countries' troops, leaving Pei Nai to recuperate.

Ju Yan was worried that Ju Liancheng would cause trouble for Pei Nai, so he sent someone to call him back.

After fighting continuously for most of the day and with the injury on his waist, Pei Nai was really exhausted. After changing his clothes, he took a nap.

When she woke up again, it was almost dark. She put on her clothes and simply tied up her hair.

Just as I was about to light the lamp, there was a knock on the door.

Pei Nai picked up the Lingyue gun, pushed the door open, and saw Da Xian smiling brightly in the gloomy sky.

"Mingzhi finally woke up. I heard them say you were taking a nap. When I came over just now, I could only hear your steady breathing in the room. I went out again, and when I came back, I heard you got up."

Daxian has always had good hearing, so it's not surprising that he could hear her sleeping outside the house.

Pei Nai nodded in understanding, "What's the matter?"

"I'll take you to a place." Daxian pulled her and was about to leave.

Pei Nai took a step away, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Kidnapping?"

"Then put the spear on my neck and follow me." Da Xian said casually.

Pei Nai was amused, his eyes curved, and as he closed the door, he asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Look at the beautiful scenery of Qilu. It's not far away, ten miles east of the village."

The two men were riding horses through the mountains. Suddenly, a sharp wolf howl came from the darkness. Pei Nai wanted to hit Da Xian with a hammer.

"We are full of evil spirits, the wolves won't come over, don't worry." Daxian comforted her.

Fortunately, the wolves did not come close, and they continued to move forward under the moonlight. In an incense stick of time, they reached the mountainside that Da Xian pointed to.

They half-tied the two horses to a tree, but not tightly, so that if there were wolves or wild beasts, the horses could break free in time.

Pei Nai followed Daxian to climb up. The road became increasingly difficult to walk on, so they used light skills and used vines to jump to the top of the mountain.

The view suddenly opened up, and the scenery of the western border of Qilu was in full view.

Previously, on the cliff in Huayun Village, one could only see the boundless plain, with the crisscrossing streams on it gradually merging into a huge ribbon, flowing into the distance.

The sky is reflected in the crystal water mirror, like stepping into another entrance to the world of galaxies.

The night before yesterday, she slept under the sky with such scenery.

But on the high mountain ten miles away from Huayun Village, the view was wider. She clearly saw the undulating mountains at the end of the plain, mysterious and majestic, like a splash-ink painting, embracing the vast land.

As the night closed in on her, she would always be mesmerized by the scenery of the mountains and rivers, never getting tired of it.

Pei Nai found a flat place to sit down.

Da Xian sat beside her and pointed to her, "In order to prevent similar dangers as the Battle of Yunxuan from happening again, the Qilu Northwest Border Army will be stationed 400 miles forward, at the foot of the mountain range. The garrisons in the western border city will remain unchanged, but the garrisons in the other three states will also be adjusted and will be tilted to the northwest."

"War preparations?" Pei Nai asked.

Currently, Qilu is a vassal state of Tianyao. It is not surprising that the two countries have formed an alliance with the eastern countries and they station troops on the border with each other.

"Yes." Da Xi'an nodded, his voice surprisingly elegant in the night, "We decided at the temporary meeting of the three parties this afternoon. The others wanted to call you, but Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize didn't want to disturb your nap. But this is just a preliminary discussion, and it will be finalized at the formal meeting later when you are able to participate."

Pei Nai was too tired and had indeed slept for a long time. "Did you have a harmonious meeting?"

Da Xi'an thought about it and said, "It's okay. They just rolled their eyes at each other and said a few words to each other. It won't affect the overall situation."

Pei Nai laughed out loud when he thought of that scene.

Although she may have been the instigator, the three of them were indeed childish when they clashed.

Da Xian handed her the food in the package and said, "Fill your stomach first. You are injured now, it's not good for you to starve."

Pei Nai hummed and took it. Da Xian continued to introduce the Qilu Mountains to her, "That is the Buyi Mountains, starting from Tianyao's Lulian Mountain in the north and ending at Penghai Cangyuan in the south. It is the third mountain from the highest to the lowest. There is a town called Bowan at the foot of the opposite mountain. Their mutton noodle soup is delicious."

Pei Nai listened quietly, nodding from time to time, with some yearning.

"Do you like it?" Daxian asked suddenly.

"I like it. I'm already craving it."

Da Xi was so happy that she calmed down and said, "So I can let you be the queen of Qilu. This is something that Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize can't give you. Can you give me a chance?"

Although Daxian never concealed his feelings, Pei Nai was still shocked. He glared at him and said, "Doesn't Qilu have another prince? You have an older brother. Do you think I can listen to such treasonous words?"

As he was about to cover his ears, he said, "Are you trying to pull me on the horse?"

"Why do you think father sent Gongyang Zisheng to me?" Da Xian smiled, "And what kind of civil strife could cause Gongyang Zisheng to miss this battle?"

Da Xian had said before that Gongyang Zisheng did not come to Huayun Village because there was internal strife in Qilu that needed to be dealt with.

Pei Nai opened his lips slightly and asked in surprise, "Is it done?"

"Almost. Almost done."

"Will you be the crown prince in the future?" Pei Nai asked carefully.

As Daxian nodded, Pei Nai added quietly, "The misfortune of the people of Qilu."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, just praising you for your ability." Pei Nai acted as if nothing had happened.

Da Xian narrowed his eyes, looked at her and said, "I heard it."

"I heard you still ask?"

Every time Da Xian smiled, all kinds of emotions were in his eyes.

If Pei Nai wasn't so hard-hearted, any other girl would have been defeated badly.

He is very similar to Pei Nai back then, both of them are full of courage and pursue things that are not from the same world.

"I'm tired of saying no. How can Zhu Beiqiang marry into the Qilu royal family? How can Tianyao explain this to the people? How can it be justified? Tell me." Pei Nai reasoned with him.

"Don't be so bound by convention!" Daxian counted on his fingers and told her, "First, the marriage between the two countries will further consolidate the relationship between the allies, boost trade, and benefit the country and the people."

When they came down from the mountain and returned to Huayun Village, Daxian was still arguing with her.

Pei Nai locked the horse in the stable and ran into the house while closing the door. "Please spare me. You are a Qilu person. I can't win an argument with you even if I use Tianyao language."

As soon as the door closed, Pei Nai's ears finally quieted down.

She washed up, undressed and changed her medicine. The medicine prescribed by the military doctor was very effective. The blood seeping through the cloth was much less, but there was still a slight chill.

She endured the pain and finished applying the medicine, and didn't have time to clean up.

There was another knock on the door.

"Why are you here again?" Pei Nai said as he picked up the Lingyue gun and went to open the door.

She unlatched the door and pushed it open only to be surprised, "Is it you?"

The wind outside was a bit strong, and Gu Jinheng's long hair, which was draped behind her, was lifted up by the strong wind and fluttered wildly.

"Come in first." Pei Nai put the spear on the rack at the door.
